SOLDIERS HUNT
MISSING WIFE

CARMEL, Cal, Dec. 20
G.N.SO.-"She had no reason
to end her life. l believe she
is alive, probably desperately
ill somewhere near here. The
search must go On.''
Sobbing, wracked by 48 hours
Of anxiety over the disappearance
of her sister, Mrs. Marion Todd,
of San Francisco today directed
the hunt for the missing Mrs
Eliot Doke Schaffner, 36, wife
of a wealthy Chicago clothing
magnate.
Soldiers from Monterey Pre-
sidio joined the hunt today for
the frail socialite who vanished
from her home here at dawn
Tuesday.
At the request Of Mrs. Todd,
Col. James Parker, U. S. A., in
charge of the Monterey military
post, promised to have the soldiers
make door-to-door canvass of
every vacant house in this pic
turesque village by the sea.
Belief that Mrs. Schaffner, des-
perately i'll, may have sought
refuge in the basement of some
vacant home was expressed by
Mrs. Todd.
The theory that Mrs. Schaffner
had ended her life in the pound
ing surf a few blocks from her
home was discounted by the sis
ter.
Meanwhile, Joseph Halle
Schaffner, husband of the miss
ing woman and a member of the
nationally known clothing firm of
Hart, Schaffner & Marx, is ex-
pected here today from Chicago.
