WOUND IN HEAD
IS CHIEF CLUE
IN TRAGEDY
Could Have Been Caused in 3
Different Ways, Is View;
Victim of Hobby

BRUSSELS, Feb. 10 G.N.SO.
Treacherous rocks, which King
Albert so loved to scale and
conquer, today alone held the
secret Of the Belgian monarch's
tragic death.
Several versions, based on
circumstantial evidence-the King
was alone when he declare cur
rent regarding the manner Of
King Albert's death.
A deep wound in the head Is the
foremost clue, wound so deep all
agree death was instantaneous.
This wound undoubtedly was
caused by jagged rock.
According to the most widely &C
cepted theory, the King, although
one of the worlds foremost AlpiHl-
lists, was betrayed by froStloos-
ened rock by which he tried to
pull himself up. The rock, many
believed, crashed into his skull and
sent him to his death.
A second theory was that his
climbing rope was attached to a
sharp rock which, insecure due to
the frost, was pulled down upon
his head.
A third version was based upon
a report that a part of his climb
ing rope was found attached to a
tree, the downward end dangling
cut jagged.
This report tended to indicate
the rope had been cut by sharp
projecting rock, plunging the King
to his death.

Searcher Tells How Party
Found Body of King

MARCHELES-DAMES. Belgium
Feb. 10 GN.SO. - Sixty-year-old
Alfred Hennay, of this little vii
lage, typical representative Of a
great portion of King Albert's
loyal subjects, today told, with
tears in his eyes, of finding the
body of his monarch, crumpled or
a ledge of a deep ravine.
Hennay and his son, Charles,
who know the surrounding district
we'll. were among the first to dis
cover the tragedy. The former
said:
1--WE were awakened in the
night and asked to aid in the
search for our King, who had
been missing for many hours.
We took torches and set out.
Lanterns Sparkled everywhere.
We searched the hiIlsideS stone
by stone.
Stumbled Over Rope
"Suddenly Count de Grunne
stumbled over a rope. 1t was
the rope the King used. Then
Captain Dixmude cried out,
Mortified:
GIVE found him. My God,
our King is dead! He's dead!'"
I'VE scrambled up to a ledge
where the captain stood. We
found him standing beside the
body of our King, which lay
crumpled and already cold on a
layer of dried leaves.
1--WE stood there for a minute
with barred heads, struck with
horror at the accident. The
head was opened by a terrible
cash over the right ear, and
there was much blood. The
face was cOntOrted with pain.
Clothes Were Torn
"The Kings clothes were torn,
his hat, field glasses, and
spectacIes were strewn along
the route he had fallen. A line
of dead leaves and rocks showed
q path of blood.
"We picked the body up in
our arms, and slowly carried it
down the pathway wrapped in
a rug. Then we placed it in
one Of the cars of the search
ing party"

Italy, France and her allies

Austria. This little country is
the focal point of Europe's Bit
terest struggle, and today Austria
is the one place on the con-
tinent where war could start.
There are many reasons why
Germany wants Austria.
First, because Adolf Hitler
was born in Braunau on the
Inn, and he never will rest
until his Austrian homeland
has become part of his, the
third Reich.
Second, because it is prob

WOMEN To SEEK
JOBS Of j. s.

Embittered by the slump In
feminine appointments to Govern.
ment positions, a small group Of
women was revealed today as com.
bined in q nonpartisan effort to
obtain important posts for quail
fled women.
Prominent Democratic women
and members of the Business and
Professional Women's Clubs,
League Of Women Voters, and Ma.
tional Association Of Women Law.
yers have Joined hands in what is
described as a nonpartisan move
ment to press Administration
leaders into action in behalf of
women.
It is pointed out that the Ad.
ministration started off with a
bang in making precedent-break.
ing appointments of women.
Since the early days Of the Ad.
ministration, however, it is said,
the jobs that have gone to women
have been mere chicken feed.
This group of women is pre-.
pared to take it's battle to Con-
gress now that that body is in
session and will also make ad.
vances to party leaders in the
States and counties.
The women lawyers association
is known to be aroused over the
fact that few feminine lawyers
have been recognized by the Ad-
ministration. With the exception
Of the appointment of Miss Stella
Akin as special assistant to the
Attorney General, the Administra-
ton has failed to single out the
many outstanding Democratic
women lawyers for responsible
posts, they assert.

LIST
GUT SHARPLY

Sharp reduction in the num-
ber of names on the reemploy-
ment lists Of the Civil Service
Commission was reported this
week, when the total dropped
from 1895 to 1924.
Only three names were added
to the list during the week,
all outside Washington, and 312
were removed. Of these, 1875
received probational appoint
ments, and 1877 reported that
they were permanently or indefi-
nitely employed in the Federal
service, most of them preSum-
ably in emergency agencies. In
addition. IA were reported as
having temporary Jobs.
The decline was evidently
brought about in part by a re-
examination of the lists, put in
motion some time ago to deter
mine how many names should be
carried as actively seeking en-
ployment.

NATIONALISM
CHAMP|ONED
BY BORAH

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 GN.s).
Calling for q return by the United
States to the foreign policy Of
washington and jefferson, which
was one Of freedom Of action and
independence Of judgment" Sena-
tor william E. Borah (RO OF
Idaho, today was on record with
q demand for spirit Of "patri-
otto nationalism" as the guiding
motive In American affairs.
The former chairman Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee declared the return to
the traditional foreign policy Of
the nation should include the
elimination Of "the unofficial
observer, a kind of international
spy" from international confer
ences in which this country Is
not officially participating.
Davis a Target
Borah's address, before the
Council on Foreign Relations
here, was made in the presence
Of Norman H. Davis, Roosevelt
+ambaSsador-at-large," who has
frequently been termed Americas
unofficial observer" at European
parleys.
Such unofficial observers"
the Idaho Senator declared, go
about over the continents list
ening in on other peoples busi'
ness" He said:
II say other peoples busi-
ness because had 1t been our
business we should have been
there in the person of duly
appointed and authorized agent
Of the government, assuming
full responsibility with all par
ticulars. We should be rid
once and for all of this un-
American and humiliating
policy"
Borah attacked the "sham-
bling, equivocal' foreign policy
Of the country which he said
developed as an aftermath of
the World War and "can excite
nothing less than derision and
contempt of all Americans and
sincere, candid men everywhere"
Sees Peace Desire
Asserting nationalism is "the
strongest and noblest passion out
spring from mans relation to his
God," Borah declared he was "for
the foreign. policy which offers
peace to all nations, trade and
commerce with all nations, honest
friendship with all nations; polti-
cal commitments, expressed or i'm
piled, with none"
The Idaho Senator expressed
complete agreement with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's belief that the
vast majority of the people of the
world want peace and peaceful
settlement of international contro-
versieS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 U.SO.
Senator william E. Borah ex-
pressed his agreement last night
with what he called a Splendid
program" the program suggested
yesterday by William Randolph
Hearst as the patriotic duty Of the
Republican party.
The Republican veteran from
Idaho, who came to New York to
speak at a dinner Of the Council
on Foreign Relations at the Ritz
Carlton, declared:
II agree with william Ran
dOlph Hearst that the Republic
can party has an important
duty to perform and / further
more agree with most Of the
propositions as laid down by Mr.:
Hearst.
Speaking for myself, my at
titude toward this Administra-
tiOn is the same as it always has
been. / support them when 1
agree with them, and I oppose
them when / do not.
81 never have been much Of
q partisan, and there is no
partiSanship Fin my system;
1 think Mr.. Hearst has laid
out q splendid program, gen.
orally speaking, and I par
ticularIy agree with him when
he earnestly urges q limitation
and curtaiIment of Federal
waste and the elimination Of
all bureaucracy possible"
He was reluctant to discuss the
budget that was presented to
Congress last week. It was a
"huge affair."" he remarked, and
could not be condemned or ap-
proved without going into great
detail.

eyes are a little piggish, but
very fetching. This is the sister
of the spy, Cleburne. It would
be a safe impersonation for
you: she sailed for England last
