mings report to police as it had not been made public.
 Friends Are Called In
 Los Angeles, December 24 - (UP) - A grand jury investigating the death of Thelma Todd summoned her most intimate friends today to tell heretofore little known details of her private life.
 The most startling development of the inquiry was the disclosure of Ida Lupino, film star and hostess at Miss Todd's last party, that the comedienne had confessed ''mar- velouS romance with 8 gentleman from San Francisco the night be- fore she died.
 Investigators sought to link the unnamed person with the mystery man" of Miss Todd's purported tele- phone conversation with Mrs. Mar tha Ford Sunday afternoon. Miss Todd said she was bringing an url- expected guest to Mrs. Ford's cock tail party, guest who would knock you dead when you see who is with me-"
 Grand jurors ordered interroga- ton of Mrs. Ford today. They hoped to find out exactly what was said and identify the promised guest.
 Another Threat
 Los Angeles, Dec. 24-(UP)-Police today said that Alex Hounie, head waiter at the Cafe Trocadero, where Thelma Todd attended her last party, reported he received another anonymous threat.
 Hounie twice had previously re- ported receipt of threatening warn- ings to "kee., your mouth shut" re- garding the Todd case. One came by postcard. The other was delivered by two men in an automobile, who forced his car to the curb. His latest came by telephone.
 There was a furry of similar re- ports as the county grand jury pro- ceeded with an investigation into the blonde screen beauty's death. Jerry Cummings, Hollywood Christi mas tree dealer, said he received similar warnings after reporting to police that Miss Todd and "dark, handsome" stranger ordered 8 tree from him one week ago Sunday.

ITALIANS WERE IN
 BIG CELEBRATION
Continued from Page 1.>


 Christmas day and priests will stride through the streets swinging cen- sers, followed by white -surpNced choir boys singing carols.
 One of the most impressive por- tions of the service within the church will come just before n1id- night when the priests will bear an effigy of the blessed Babe to its sacred spot in the Grotto.
 The war scare, which caused sev- eral steamship companies to cancel their regular Christmas cruises to the Holy Land this year, diverted sightseers. Those here to pay their homage to the Savior tonight were devouts who prayed fervently that hte peace and good will from the chimes would reach to all parts of the earth.
 Prayers at Jerusalem
 Tn nearby Jerusalem at the Church of the Ethiopian Coptic Christians special prayers will begin at midnight and will continue until the end of the festival, seeking di- vine intercession for a permanent peace and Ethiopian independence.
 A group of Ethiopian priests ar- rived in Bethlehem early today, com- ing by motor buses from Jerusalem. On their departure a crowd of Ethi- opians gathered outside the Jaffa gate to wish them a happy festival.
 As in two previous years the en- tire world will listen in by radio to- night to the Bethlehem celebration. The ceremonies are scheduled to start at midnight 6 p. l1l., E.S.T0.

pIouRhed through Q calm Atlantic bearing the famous aviator, his wife, Ann Morrow Lindbergh, and their S-year-old son, Jon, to England, where they hope to find a haven against the constant fears ana threats and publicity that have tcr- ttired them since Baby Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. was kidnapped ID March, 1882.
 Tonight Santa Claus will stroll tl1- to the dining saloon for the benefit of little Jon, whose future and safe- ty was the real reason for his par ents' decision to leave theL native shores. Santa will appear for his benefit alone, since the Lindberghs are the only passengers.
 COnfided to No One
 The Lindberghs confided to no friends how long they expected to be gone, but most understood they intended to take up a more TO less permanent" residence in England. Some believed they would be gone only a year or two, until after the fate of Bruno Richard Hauptmann is definitely concluded, while other friends believed they would not re- turn home, except for visits, for many years.
 The vortex of the Lindbergh tragedy, despite the voluntary with drawal of one of its chief actors, conyoluted dizzily, whirling Bruno Richard Hauptmann toward what appeared to be, more and more, cer- tain death in the electric chair, and drawing back into the whirlpool characters that had been previously thrown clear.
 Hauptmann Didn't Know
 Hauptmann's appeal to the New Jersey court of pardons was ready for the courts considerattn. Ii It fails his one remaining hope for life will be an appeal for new trial. In his cell in the state prison death house in Trenton, he was unaware that the LindberghS had left the country to save their second son from the possibility of the fate that met their first.
 Whirled back into the vortex by the departure of the Lindberghs were Governor G. Hoffman of New Jer- sey and Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the state police, who played a promi- nent part in the investigatin that led to Hauptmann's arrest.
 Hoffman was singled out for at- tack in all sections of the country,

presents from them to their parents and brothers and sisters. Clothing and toys make up the gifts for the latter. The babies will get dolls, doll carriages, toy dogs, rabbits, teddy bears and almost everything else which could conceivably appeal to the rly-19-month-old girls.
 From little girl equally as fam ous as the quints-Shirley Temple most as big as the babies, which arrived yesterday five dolls, al- will receive the place of honor around the tree.
 The babies are expected for the first time in their lives, to taste turkey and other things which make up Christmas dinner. Dr. Dafoe said he might leave it to Mrs. Dionne to decide exactly what the babies could have as their share of the special dinner. It is almost cer- tain they will be given a holiday from their usually strict diet.
 Real Interest This Year
 The babies are taking real i1- terest in Christmas this year. Dr. Dafoe said it was difficult to say whether the Christmas tree, covered with brightly-colored lights, arti- ficial snow, icicles and silver bells, or the huge Christmas cakes, which they will never taste, attracted the girls most. Although Dr. Dafoe will not portray his usual role of Santa Claus, the quints will not miss the act SO much, because he has al- ready held a dress rehearsal with the babies for the benefit of news reel cameramen..
 The babies ali gained weight dur- ing the week, figures released by pr. Dafoe showed. The table follows:

 Calm In Italy
 Rome, Dec. "A - (U.P0 - An atmosphere of calnness and res- traint, in contrast to angry excite ment which resulted from the ap- pointment of Anthony Eden as Brit ish foreign secretary, was apparent everywhere to-day.
 Italians generally sought to put away their angers and anxieties, their thoughts of league penalties. the dark prospects for the future and sad thoughts of the hundreds of thousands of young Italians in East Africa, to celebrate Christmas.
 Christmas cheer was noticeable. War talk centered around the new Italian victory reported from the northern front in Ethiopia. Shops displayed an abundance of goods. and automobiles appeared on the streets in strikingly large numbers, considering the prohibitive price of gasoline.
 No important political manifesto ton is expected, as regards the in- ternational situation, within the next few days.
 Premier Benito Musolisni is un- derstood to feel that while he would welcome any proposals for an hon. orable peace, he is not in position now to make any peace move with out confessing a weakness he does not feel.

 "The one real Christianity IS Catholic"
 The cry of the Goddess, he said, "is not only heard but accepted"
 He added:
 Has Not Lost Hope
 "We wish we had been able to ex- tend a serene word which might represent a significant contribution in all these sad things. Our hope, however, failed. But this does not mean that we have lost all hope, because for us is Christian duty"
 At the end of his address the Pope referred to the preoccupation of the church for the priesthood. His listeners gained the impression that he was worried at the thin. ming out of the priesthood.
 In the encyclica1, the Pope wrote of the duties of the priesthood. There was but one passage which might relate to present international conditions:
 "In the present clash of self in- terest, unleashed hates and dark plans of revenge nothing could be more beneficial to health than loudly to proclaim a new com- mandment of Christ, that con- mandment which enjoins a love that extends to all, that knows no barriers or national boundaries, ex- cludes no race and excepts not even its own enemies"
 Word to Priests
 The keynote of the encyclical was this passage:
 "The office of priest is not for things human or things that pass away, however important and valu- able these may be, but for things divine and enduring; eternal things"
 It emphasized the functions of the priesthood in the religious and social scheme, priests mission for peace and his influence for good. It exhorted priests to strive for the highest ideals. Interspersed were excerpts from his previous encycli- calls regarding the sanctity of mar riage and other problems.

dence, not a confession of weakness. At the same time, it was calculated to be welcomed by Italy as a friend ly gesture, relieving tension caused by the appointment of Anthony Eden as foreign secretary. It would offset, too, some of the alarm felt in Italy at the British request for promises of aid from the Mediterra- mean powers.
 War talk naturally continues. It is frank, but the prevailing opinion is that a war with Italy will be avoided. This despite the general admission that Italian-British ten- sion is again acute.
 Executives of big oil concerns told the United Press today that the prospect of an oil embargo against Italy is now but normal. They be- lieve that Edan intends to preserve in enforcement of the economic and financial penalties already being ex- acted against Italy.
 Realizing that the public is against war and at the same time is eager to punish Italy for its aggression, the government intends to pursue a strong league penalties policy with out intensifying it to the point at which Premier Mussolini might take mad dog" military or naval action against British interests Casualty List Rome, Dec. 24-(UP))--An off, cial casualty list of 8 battle fought Sunday, on the northern front, and previously reported, asserted today that Ethiopians lost more than 600 killed and 2000 wounded while Ital- ian losses were seven officers and 150 native troops killed, six Italians and 157 Askaris wounded. The warriors attacked, 5000 strong, Italian and native troops on the northern front, it was asserted, but tke Italians essayyed an outflanking movement by which they nearly en- circled the Ethiopians. The Ethio- plans saved themselves only by a nasty retreat during which the Ital- ians charged with the bayonet, it was said.
 Low flying airplanes cooperated with the troops, bombing and ma- chine guning the warriors. Native Askaris, thinking the aviators for their cooperation, cut stripes from their tents to form the letters "Grazie," meaning thanks.
 Marshal Pietro Badoglio, commarl- der in chief, felisitated the troops and aviators on their victory, it was dded.
 BadogliO Commuqique Communique No. 79 from Marshal Pietro Badoglio, Italian commender- in-chief, said:
 Marshall Badoglio telegraphed that the fight which occurred Dec. g in the victory of Abbi Addi ended with full success for our troops. On the enemy hide, over 5000 armed men of the Degiac Hailu Chebbede participated in the action, with de- tachments using Belgian machine guns of 1885 manufacture.
 "They were reinforced by armed warriors of sub-chiefs of Ras Siy- oum. The Ethiopian forces were de- feated by the impetis of our Eritre- an troops, most efllciently helped by aviation and artillery.

 The convicts seized Doucette's $ service pistol and after a scuffle shot him in the abdomen. They took his keys and unlocked the handcuffs, dumped Doucette out of the cab and fled. Several truck drivers who witnessed the commotion fled for cover when they saw one of the convicts with pistol.
 Two federal agents also saw the scuffle, but they thought it was a drunken brawl and did not interfere. They said they did not see the pis- tol nor the actual shooting.
 Guard Died Later
 Doucette was taken to a hospital. An emergency operation was per- formed, but he died six hours later. Before he died he murmured: "Re- pucci shot me-" He knew both men well. His wife was at his bed- side. She had been waiting for

 On returning to the United States, he found financial back ing and built the steamboat now forever linked with his name.
 Americans who view memor- ials celebrating the deeds of our national heroes, or of their pri- vate family heroes, rarely real- ize that Robert Fulton has con- tributed even in this field. He invented . machine for saving and polishing marble, the prin- ciples of which are still in use.
 He died in New York, in 1915. and was buried in historic Trin. ity Churchyard, now in the heart of the financial district. Nearly a century later the American Society of Mechanical Engineers marked his last resting place with the monument shown in the sketch.

WHEN the stea m boa at

WHEN the steam bo at W "Clermont" saucily puffed her way up the Hudson River in 1907, the first of the great tram sit inventions which marked the progress of the American nation turned from dream into fact. Robert Fulton, its inventor, thus won himself . place of honor among the men and women re- membered for their contribu- tions to the nation.
 Robert Fulton was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1765. His road. to invention, curiously, lay through the do- main of art. Apprenticed to Q jeweIer as a boy, he developed such marked talent for drawing that he decided to become . painter. This ambition took him to England, where he, studied under the renowned Benjamin West, and attained some stand ing as . painter.
 In England . meeting with James Watts, the inventor of the steam engine, suddenly diverted Fulton's attention to engineer
