BEDTIME STORY
Il BY rHA MAN IN rnA TOWER

Between the dark and daylight
 (Excuse the abuse of this rhyme), Comes pause in the days occupation Known as detective story time. From your study you see in the lampllght Inspector Bull descending the stair, While neatly balancing his great weight Hercule Poirot tracks to their lar Grave maniacs and laughing hyenas, Suspects as slippery as eels; The plot has you stumped for the moment But gradually unwinds like the reels. A sudden raid in the hallway,
 A sudden dash down the hall, With three doors left unguarded
 Whats to come of it all? But it cannot keep you forever
 Though pages and hours pass by; Comes at last the final solution,
 You guessed it, as easy as pie

New York Stocks
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-The net
result of today's trading on the
stock exchange was about zero so
far as prices were concerned, while
trading volume was around the
lightest in years.
Cotton lest a few points. Bonds
were about steady and so was the
dollar.
Late in the two-hour session of
the stock exchange the list was
practically unchanged. Small less
es were offset by equally small
gains. Here and there an issue
broke out of the fractional area.
Bieelow Sanford was carried up
2ia points at its high for the day
of 26l2 but it receded from that
level. American Tobacco and Man
haitian Railway at one time were
down a point each. Columbia Gas
preferred on an odd-lot tranaction
declined 10la points to go.
Aside from the foregoing there
was no feature in the market.
Small declines were noted in such
leaders as American Can, Ameri-
can Telephone. Chrysler, Case. Gen.
eral Motors, U. S. Steel, and Unit
ed Aircraft. Equally small gains
were made by Westinghouse Elec-
trio, General Electric, Standard
Oil of New Jersey. Howe Sound,
u. S. Smelling, Consolidated Gas,
Alaska Juneau, and Monsanto
Chemical.
A long list Of issues was un-
changed from the previous close.
The same condition prevailed in the
bond market. U. S. Government
Loans, however, eased in dull turn
over. Their dullness was consider
ed favorable since it indicated no
large offerings of the issues over
hanging the market.
Stock sales today approximated
100000 shares. the lighteSt Satur-

Freed By Captors

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. l8. U.p)
The Rev. r. H. AskeW, 28-year-
old -Four Square Gospel minister of
GoldSboro, N. c.. kidnapped from
near his home Tuesday night, was
freed by three captors 10 miles from

He caught a ride to Nashville
with a farmer and walked into po-
lice headquarters.
Announcing his identity, Askew
told officers he was kidnapped at
Raleigh, N. c., Tuesday afternoon.
Near Goldsboro, ne said, strange
man stopped him and asked him
to take him to Raleigh where the
strangers daughter was sick. After
reaching there, three unidentified
men forced him into large sedan.
Askew said the trio robbed him
of $40 he had in his pocket to buy
bricks for his new tabernacle and
then forced him to take several
tablets which caused him to go to
sleep.
He first regained consciousness
in Richmond, Va, Wednesday
morning where his captors bought
him a hot dog for breakfast.

SUBSIDY
PLAN OPPOSED
BY SECRETARY

WASHINGTON. Aug. 18. U.H-
Henry A. Wallace, secretary of ag-
riculture, went on record today as
opposing the economic feasibility
of American ship subsidies as a
means of increasing our export
trade.
In a letter to Chairman Schuy-
Ter o. Bland (Dem) Virginia, of
the house merchant marine COM
mittee Wallace said:
ANY further governmental en-
couragement of the shipping indus
try by subsidy or similar measures
would tend to divert the energies
of our people in some degree into
shipping as compared with other
industries.
Wallace asked "if it is not pos
sible that it may be done to our
economic advantage as nation to
concentrate on the exploitation of
our rich internal resources, leaving
partly to foreigners the carrying
trade in which our natural advan-
tageS over them are not as great
as in other forms OF production?
Wallace said the nation could not
hope to profit from exports -
unless willing to accept payments
in imports.
This applies 20 single invisible >
imports in the form of shipping
services rendered by foreigners as
well as to commodity imports. - he
informed Bland.

UNABLE
To DECIDE ON
PAYNE SANITY

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18. WP)-
Louis Rude Payne. 2l-year-old for
mer st. Louis youth who slew his
mother and brother with an axe
in their Westwood home, will face
trial again September IL on his
plea of not guilty by reason OF in
sanity. ......
This was announced by Superior
Judge Ruben S. Schmidt in dis
charging a jury which reported it
self hopelessly deadlocked at 9 to
3 for insanity after deliberation of
more than 55 hours.
Young Payne was found guilty
of first degree murder without
recommendation Of leniency by
the same jury which later was un-
able to reach a verdict on his SAN
ity. The death penalty is manda-
tory should the youth be found
sane.
Defense Attorney Leonard Will
son contended the murder verdict
also should be set aside as a second
sanity jury would be forced to
consider evidence introduced at the
murder trial before determining
Payne's mental state at the time
OF the slayings.
Although it was pointed out that
no legal precedent existed in Cali
fornia as basis for decision, Judge
Schmidt ruled Payne IS conviction
must stand.

PACIFIC BEACH
POPULAR WITH
VALLEY FOLKS

Many Imperial Valley residents
are enjoying vacations at Pacific
Beach, popular resort near San
Diego, according to F. H. La Baume
who appeared before the city
council Of San Diego several
months ago, to urge reopening Of
the public camp there this sea-
son.
Among those registered at the
camp are John Hamilton, Jane Al
derson, Matte Meek, Tom Aster,
FL Centro; E. j. Morrissett, super
intendent, Brawley water works;
NJ. r. Steadman, j. H. Ferguson,
BraWley; w. r. Wilsie, Westmor-
land; @. T. Hamilton and family,
Holtyille Mrs. d. E. Green, I'M
perial; H. Olson, F. R. Buck, John
L. Solgodo, Calexico.
All have the highest praise for
the camp which offers all the ia
cilities of a real summer resort,
with Mission Beach only a short
distance away and San Diego pro-
per a brief car ride distant.
Valley residents, who appreciate
the camp because it offers a re-
fuge from the extreme summer
heat here, have expressed the hope
that the city of San Diego will
continue to keep the camp open
each year.

mers resulted from the two heat
waves which swept the middle west

of 35 years standing, according to
coroners' reports to the United
Press in the affected area.
In Chicago, triple the usual
number of deaths directly attribu-
table to high temperatures were
In addition to this loss of life, it
was pointed out, the death toll
frcm other causes mounted, owing
to the weakened condition of all
classes of humans, from the very
old to the very young. Babies and
elderly people who might have
survived the summer were victims
of the heat.
The death rate in st. Paul rose
during July from normal GO per
hundred thousand population to
78 per hundred thousand popula-
ton.
Similar conditions were reported
throughout Indiana, while in Mis-
souri, and Kansas the number of
deaths was almost double that of
a normal year.
Of various states reporting, only
some parts of Illinois recorded
fairly normal death rate.

ascended in blue, almost MINDLESS
sky today in stratosphere bal
loon flight to study cosmic rays.
Flying SO high only army avia-

They. seek not an altitude record
but information that will help SCI

To the cheer of thousands who
had come by special train, Cosyns,

stratosphere pioneer, and Wander
elst, %, Brussels university engi-
neering student, took off at GIG a.

D 'CONNOR MAY
HEAD RESERVE

Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. - j. F.
T. O'Connor, comptroller of cur
rency, may succeed Eugene R.
Black as governor of the federal
reserve beard, according to reports
IN semi-official quarters today.
However, President Roosevelt is
not believed to have made a final
decision On any of a half dozen
possible candidates for the No. l
American Bank post.
White House circles indicated to-
day selection of a new reserve
board head would be made in about
& week.
O'Connor today was the first
pcrson prominently mentioned for
the position. Recent reports OF a
possible appointee have included
Mariner S. Eccles, assistant to Sec
retary of Treasury Morgenthau;
James M. Cox. former governor of
Ohio; Tom K. Smith, st. Louis
bankers, and 3. A. Mckinney, gov
ernor of the federal reserve bank
of Dallas.
A laSt-minute shift in admins
tration plans may result in a diff
ferent selection from any of these
five men but for the present, o.
Connor appears the most likely
candidate.
Selection of O'Connor for the
post would probably mean the re-
tirement of Adolf G. Miller, men,
ber of the federal reserve board
since its formation in 1914. Both
O'Connor and Miller are from
California and no two members OF
the board are allowed to come from
the same federal reserve district.
O'Connor has been member OF
the federal reserve board since
May II, 1888, by virtue of his pcs
ition as comptroller of the curren-
cy. He took office as comptroller
on that date, succeeding John W.
Pole.
O'Connor is a close associate OF
Senator McAdoo (Dem) California
and was connected with the sena-
tor from 1925 to 1880 in law prac-
tice in Los Angeles.

Presence of severe slashes on the
arms of Herbert l.. Coke, 25, whose
body was found early today in the
bedroom of his burning residence
at 1888 West 104th street, led au-
thorities to believe that he had
been murdered short time before
the fire started.
T. S. Schneider, fire captain, said
Coke did not appear to have been
burned sufficiently to cause his
death.
The slashes on the mans arms
indicated he had raised them to

. LOYALTY OATH.

DEL MAR, Calf, Aug. 18. U.p
Aiming at radical and Subver-
sive tendencies in San Diego coun-
ty and state schools, the state
board of education meeting in spe-
cial session here, today called up
On all students, teachers, and en-
ployees of state teachers colleges
and special schools to take an oath
of allegiance to the constitution
and laws Of the United States.
The oath, mandatory Tor all stu
dents, follows: Il pledge myself,

pledge to refrain from negatively
or positively advocating the use of
methods not sanctioned by the
constitution and the laws of the.

cation Or replacement of the form

The cath was conceived as a
measure to eliminate numerous in
stances of radicalism creeping into
state schools, DR.. l.. P. Crutcher Of
Long Beach, president of the board
declared. He emphasized the fact
that such movements are mot pre-,
valent."

Meanwhile, the bedlam on the
