even further when she heard the
remark, alleged to have been
made by the Presidents wife, that
"a snub is the effort of a person
who feels superior to make some
one else feel Inferior" by charg.
ing Mrs. Roosevelt with being a
cheap type Of headline seeker"

either refused to be quoted or
else said they had not read the

is entirely out of my field and
/ think it would be rather silly
for me to comment, especially
when I didn't even read the

Miss Peggy Tyner, another so
cialite, was also reluctant to COM

"Of course, things are pro.
Hoover out there. .. but / really

TAUNTON VAULT
 BLASTED OPEN
Safe Crackers Broke Into
 City Hall-City Payroll Escaped Them

Taunton, Mass, Feb. 2S.-(UP). -Safecrackers, using a heavy charge of nitroglycerine, blasted open the treasury vault in city hall here early today but failed to reach @ $20.000 city payroll that they sought.
 Unable to pry open an inner door which safeguarded the cash, they had to satisfy themselves with money orders and municipal checks loot which city officials described as virtually worthless.
 One of the burglars was injured, probably by the nitroglycerinc blast, for blood was found on the floor and on a discarded pinch-bar.
 A passerby reported seeing three men fleeing from city hall and saic one of them had suffered wound that bled profusely.
 The front of city hall had been jlmmied open, while in the city treasui CTS office both a door and q window had been forced.
 A light burning in the city clerks office attracted the atten- ton of Patrolman Lawrence Munice and when he investigated he discovered the break.
 Had the raid been successful, DO. lice, hremen. school teachers and other city employees probably would have gone payless today.
