CUBAN FUGITIVE
STILL AT LARGE
Five States Searched for
Former Cuban Presi-
dent in Murder Case

New York. April 27-UP)-
Former President OF Cuba Gerardo
Machado, fleeing arrest and tria1
on charges of murder and assas-
sination, evaded the police of five
states to-day.
Police OF New York. Pennsyl-
vania. New Jersey, Massa C husetts
and Connecticut broadcast warn
ings to be on lookout for Macha-
do. All border points leading to
Canada were guarded.
Machado fed from his New
York residence Wednesday few
hours before United States Mar
shall Raymond j. Mulligan went
there to serve a warrant requested
by Cuban authorities.
Counsel to fight Machado's ex-
tradition has been retained by
friends, it was reported. Henry
q. Gray, an attorney said he had
been asked by Machado's associ-
ates here to handle the. case. He
said he never had seen Machado
and did not know his where
abouts.
If Machado Is captured, he will
be arraigned before United States
Commissioner Garrett w. Cotter
and then held without bail until
the extradition proceedings are
dismissed or he Is placed on q

gangster companion of the outlaw.
Each Is accused of having been
present in a st Paul apartment
March 81 when Dillinger machine
gunned his way out of a federal
agents trap, but suffered wound
in the leg. It was this wound
that May treated.
Mortenson's attention to a Dill
niger wound came after the outlaw
and other gangsters robbed q Sioux
Falls, S. D., bank. Vigilantes at
Sioux Falls shot into the automo-
bile in which the outlaws fled af-
ter shooting down motorcycle
policeman. The same gang may
have perpetrated the $4,000 rob-
berry of a Mason City, Iowa, bank
in which the raiders were shot.
Although the Minnesota StatA
Medical Board claimed that no
state law exists requiring a pliysi-
clan to report treatments of gum
shot wounds, federal forces pre-
pared to ask indictments for both
physicians because of their alleged
failure to report these incidents.
Never Take Him Alive
Meriden, Conn, April 81 - (UP)
+ John Dillinger never will be
captured alive.
This prediction was made by DIR
Carleton Simon, New York crim-
inologist at gathering Of police
officials here last night.
Dillinger either will be killed or
commit suicide rather than submit
to capture, said DR. Simon, author
ity Of the New York Association
Of Police Chiefs and New England
Association of Chiefs Of Police.
-''In view Dillinger as a man act
uated by a tremendous egoism
which, incidentally, is the downfall
of many criminals" he said.
"The wounds Dillinger is suffer-
ing from will undoubtedly embit-
ter him further against society. He
is, to my mind, mad dog run
amuck, snarling and biting every
one he comes in contact with, and
for this reason he will either be
killed or, If found, and he cannot
escape, he will surely kill himself"

for questioning. The county Jail
here. which three months ago
housed John >Dillinger and three
members of his gang, was the
magnet for hundreds of outraged
civilians awaiting developments.
The crowd was ominous and rest
less.
The scene was reminiscent of
frontier days. Sun-bronzed cow
boys rode in from the ranges to<of-
fer aid to the grandfather, who
was their comrade before he sold
his cattle domain for $3O0, 900.
Old-fashioned six shooters dangled
from hips.
American Legionnaires, armed

attic search of houses in the hope
of finding some trace of the kid
naped girl or of establishing be-.
yond doubt that Sc was no longer
in Tucson. Authorities were in
clined to believe she was not and
that she was taken to some dis
tant point, probably to one of
numerous desert cabins.
Native police of the Papago In
dian Reservation took UP stations
along the highways in their district
to stop cars and question occu-
pants.
Rewards offered
Rewards totaled $1,000. They
were posted by the City Council of
Tucson, the Pima County Board of

ODD T|NTS FOUND
IN COMMON HAIR
Strange Realities Revealed
In Efforts to Isolate Sex,
Race and Age.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.


Have you any green, blue or violet
In your hair?
The chances are you have all three
if YOUR hair is not coal black-ac-
cording to all intensive analysis OF
hair coIors Just reported to the Amer
ican Association of Physical Anthro-
biologists here by Drs. R. B. Gardner
and D. L. McAdam of Harvard Uni
versity and the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology.
Accurate comparison of hair colors
in the past has afforded some of the
most difficult problems encountered
by physical anthropologists in their
efforts to isolate race, sex and age
characters anc the effects of heredity.
Probably no two persons have exactly
the same shade of hair and such terms
as blonde" brunette" etc, have
little meaning for exact description.
They have tried various devices, but
all have depended to some extent on
the judgment of the individual in
comparing two colorS.
Color Secret in Light.
Now the color Of the hair, like the
color of everything else, depends on
the wave lengths of the light spectrum
which it will absorb and which it will
reflect A red surface, for example,
absorbS the wave lengths of orange,
yellow, green and blue so that they
produce no color effect. Red wave
lengths are redected-hence the color
of the object Is red"
DrS. Gardner and McAdam per-
fected device by which it was poSSi-
BILE to measure the degrees to which
various shades of hair reflected the
various wave lengths, with some rather
remarkable results. Pure black hair,
of course, absorbS everything and re-
fleets nothing, as does any black sur
face. The difference between black
hair and dark red hair, they found,
was that the latter began to reflect
green wave lengths and henceforth
reflected more and more light until
a maximum was reached in the .red
region of the spectrum. Dark red
hair is really green, yellow and red
mixed and every titan beauty has
some green in her tresses.
Red Hair Reflects Blue.
Ordinary led hair begins to reflect
very minute quantities of blue and
the reflection curve mounts in prac-
tically a straight line through the
green and yellow to the red. Reddish
brown hair color gets its start in the
violet, but takes a rather sharp up
turn in the green region of the spec
trum from which it continues steadily
through the yellow to maximum in
the red. Blonde hair mounts almost
in a straight line from the violet
through the blue and green to the
red. There Is no uphill curve in
green, such as is characteristic Of the
red and brown shades.
The study shows brown hair is just
about as red as red hair, the difference
being that there is more blue, green
and yellow in the light which it re-
fleets. The results are reported in the
September issIe of the Journal OF
Physical Anthropology.

himself here as a trick shot player and
lengthy hitter OF golf balls, realizes
that he must have a job
Tom got the word from Hollywood
yesterday, in the form of a contract
with -Goldwyn-Ma and will
leave Washington by airplane next
Monday, to do his trick shot stuff be-
fore the cameras. While the Wood
mont pro isn't quite sure just how
much he will do or how long he will
be in Hollywood, he expects to make
two movie shorts and does not expect
to be gone much more than a month.
1t all came about through the Offices
of Champ Pickens, the irresponsible
sports promoter who read pieces in the
papers about Toms trick shot prowess,
and took a camera man out to have
a look at the youngster. So impressed
was Pickins and the local M-G-M
magnate with Hudgins' shots and his
patter that they Immediately signed
him up to work before the camera.
Naturally Tom is elated, for this
trick shot business is something he
picked up during those long Summer
afternoons at Woodmont when there
was very little play and restless hands
and restless brain had to find some
thing to do.
Now that funny stuff is developing
into pay dirt, for to date only Joe
Kirkwood has hit the silver screen
