White House Functions to Begin

Their daughters, Mrs. Harry
Baxter and Miss Betsy Dern, are
taking a more leisurely crossing
on the U. S. A. T. Grant. While
they were in Honolulu they had
a marvellous time crowding as
much as they possibly could
into the too few hours they
had ashore. They were met by
Col. and Mrs. George Patton and
their daughter, Miss Ruth Ellen
Patton, who formerly we're sta
toned at Fort Myer. With the
Pattons they saw the sights Of
Oahu-including famous Waikiki
Beach, Schofield Barracks, the
large inland post, and the Cocoa
nut Hut.
Back by December IL
The Derns will not be back in
Washington until past the mid
die Of December, probably get
ting here just in time for the
Diplomatic Reception at the
White House, which is to be held
on December II. This is al
ways a colorful spectacle-the
huge gold and cream East Room
filled to overflowing with ambaS-
Sadors, ministers, charge DAT
faires, secretaries, attaches and
their ladies, waiting to file past
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
and present their greetings. BY
the time they reach the Presi-
dental Dining Room the con-
Versation, in many different
tongues and musical to hear,
becomes less formal. Here one
sees the bright scarlets, soft
grays and dark blue, gold
braided uniforms Of the guests
from other lands.
On Thursday, January 2, there
will be the dinner for the Vice
President. A week later on Janu.
ary 9 the judicial reception will
be held. The chiefs Of missions
and their families will be guests
at dinner at the White House on

Another brilliant dinner party

The Speaker of the House will
be honored at a dinner on Tuesday
February II. and the last big Of
ficial function of the SeaSon-the
Army and Navy reception-will be
held on February 18. This is
probably the most informal of the
formal affairs. The Service people

PLOT TO FREE 2 KIDNAPERS FEARED

! the Gederal grand jury on the kid
naping charge.
The Valleys waived hearings
pending the grand jury's action.
1t is expected that United States
District Judge E. E. Cushman,
veteran jurist of Western Wash

grand jury into session soon to
consider indicting the pair.
The next regular grand jury
meeting Is scheduled for June 20.

said, probably will not be until
United States Attorney Charles
J. Dennis, of Seattle, returns from
an officials visit to California.
Look Like Two Kids
AS the Valleys stood before the
bar of justice they did not appear
to be kidnapers. They looked
more like kids listening to JUS
tice of the peace reading a mar
riage ceremony. They affection
ately held hands, smiled at each
other and whispered in each
others ears.
Valley, handcuffed even in
court, told his wife the words
to utter when the commissioner
asked for answers. When the
pair returned to their seats in
the courtroom, they kissed and
asked the G-Men if they were
to be separated. They were told
they would be sent to the same
Jail but held in solitary cells far
apart.
Commissioner Fitch first ad-
dressed the young blonde wife
when the couple appeared.
do you understand this
charge against you?"
The girl answered:
"NO, / DON'T

Of the charges"

ton naming the girl as a party
to the kidnapping and eXtortion
of 100000 ransom from John
Philip Weyerhaeuser, wealthy
lumber baron, and father of
George Weyerhaeuser, the COM
missioner asked the girl:
"HOw do you plead nOw?"

WE'D 50 YEARS,
PAIR ON TOUR

CH1NCOTEAGUE, Va, June 10.
Maybe most folks would celebrate
their fifty-third wedding anniver-
sary sitting on the front porch
enjoying the memories of their
years together, but not Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Savage.
This couple, who make their
home here, today celebrated the
great occasion by driving their
own car to New York city for a
holiday.
Mr.. Savage, who never even con.
sidered driving an automobile until
after he had passed his sixtieth
birthday, is today called one Of
the best in the country by his
family and friends, and there is
hardly a place in the country to
which he wouldn't think of going.
Longevity and large families
seem to run in the Savage family,
Mr.. and Mrs. Savage having IL
children, 10 grandchildren, and
nine great-grandchildren. Until
about a year ago, all their progeny
were living, the first break in the
family having come with the
death of one of the great-grand-
children last July.

Twenty minutes after their ar.

the Valleys were standing before
