some British aircraft had in

wounding of a former employer

That was the first inkling she
had of the death of her boy, Mrs
Howard told a Times reporter.

Mrs. Howard said she had never
heard of N. C. McDermitt, believed
by police to be the third member
of a bachelor dinner party which
preceded the Staying of Wharton
McDermitt is being sought for

Letters From Son
However, Mrs. Howard said, her
son had written her on numerous
occasions during the time he was
employed as private secretary tC
Henry E. Bolte, educator and poll

"The situation is about the

With Four Beauties

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April q Il.
N.S0.-Nervously laxative, Sena-
tor Huey P. Long damned the
Roosevelt administration, ex-
pounded at length his doctrine Of
abundance, and then breakfasted
with four beauty queens here
today.
He declined with thanks an in
vitation to speak before the Iowa
legislature, burlesqued the agri-
cultural program by proposing to
kill every young man when he
gets to be 81" and ridiculed the
idea there had ever been a surplus
of food stuffs. The Louisiana
Kingfish declared:
"The only difference between
Hoover and Roosevelt is that
Hoover was honest. Hoover was
shooting at the little fellow and
admitted it, but Roosevelt says
he is shooting at the big fellow"
HADN'T WASHED HAIR
When informed that four beauty
queens were to have breakfast
with him, the Senator stroked his
uncombed hair and declared:
"WelI, I dunno, 1 haven't
washed my hair for three weeks"
The beauties were Mona Ken
neaste, of Fresno, Cal. queen Of
the Drake Relays, and Janet
Hough, Lucille Robinson. and
Geneva Horner.
When a delegation of two lowe
legislators, Representative Arch
McFarlane and Representative A.
H. Avery, called to invite him to
speak, the Senator was similarly
informal.
He said:
"Ten 'em thanks, but I'm
pretty tired. I think I'll take
q bath pretty soon, although
this isn't the day usually
take one"
Representative McFarlane was
reminded it was Saturday.
ooh, is it? Well, then /

VERY NERVOUS
Despite his verbal brusqueness,
the Senator appeared to be ex-
traordinarily nervous.
He snapped his carriers, got up
to pace the floor at intervals,
and absent-minedly tore the lin

Bleary-eyed after a night with

on a card and mailed him, for
