TODD DEATH
STILL PROBED
Body Cremated Thursday
Night; Grand Jury Will
Take Case Monday

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 20. (UP).
While glamorous Thelma Todd,
still beautiful in death, was ere
mated last night and her ashes
sealed in a white stone crypt, DE-
tectives dug into secrets OF the
actress life to disclose, If posi-
BILE, the truth about her strange
death. Meanwhile, arrangements
were being made for a grand
iury's inquiry which will open on
Monday.
As the last rites for the film
star were held in the dim, flower
scented stone chapel of Wee Kirk
O'Heather, police moved to bring
back to the scene of her death the
man who played the most proml-
nent part in Thelma Todd's life
dashing "Pat" De Cicco, her for
mer husband.
The lanky, dark-eyed hero Of
Thelma's biggest romance climbed
into a plane bound for New York
the night after his ex-wife's crum
pied body was found in the front
seat of her automobile in closed
garage near her beach home.
As De Cicco left, he remarked
ton an airfeld attendant that he
"knew nothing about Thelma's
DEATH" He explained he was 60
ing to visit his mother at Smith
town, N. Y, for Christmas and
was SORRY he couldn't stay for
the funeral.".
Grand jury foreman, George
Rochester, who ordered an inquiry
into the death, said he would gre.
quest De Cicco's return, to an
swer some important questions"
Inquiry was divided into two
channels, both possibly involving
information De Cicco might have
These are:
First; Possibility Miss Todd was
involved with powerful Los An
geles gambling rings. Her manag
er, R. H. w. Shafer, remarked t.
detectives she had planned to oper
a "new business" on the uppe,
floors of her exclusive cafe.
De Cicco may have known OF
this, as he was seen with his for.
mer wife frequently in weeks prior
to her death.
Second: Investigators are anx,
ious to know what connection, il
any, may have existed between
Miss Todd, her former husband
and Roland West, her business as.
sociate who lived in the same SET
of rooms the actress occupied
above her roadside cafe.
West, a well-groomed, middle
aged man known to have been one
of Miss Todd's most intimate as.
sociates, was questioned closely
during the inquest, on the posi-
bility Miss Todd intended resum-
ing relations with her divorced
husband.
Asked directly if he knew Miss
Todd was planning to leave him
and re-marry De Cicco, West
gasped:
"She wouldn't-she couldn't
Why-we were partners.
Vests relations with the &C.
tress formed one of the most un-
settled phases of the inquiry. He
said he bolted the door to Miss
Todd's apartment the night she
was believed to have died flock
ing her out" because she failed to
return by 2 a. m.
1t was West who first offered
the theory Miss Todd had gone
into the garage to escape a biting
winter wind, started the motor Of
her car to keep warm and suffo-
Gated in deadly monoxide fumes.

PARLEY PLANS
CURB ON SHORT
WEIGHT

This is a mystery story, although
it did not start out to be one.
tt is the story of the gathering
today of some 200 delegates for
the twenty-fifth national confer.
ence on weights and measures aC
the National Bureau of Standards.
What this esoteric organization is
doing and what the members are
talking about supply the mystery.
A dizzy maze of odd-looking
gadgets and devices was on dis
play, while be,spectacled men
talked in groups in various sec
lions of the building.
ShOrtweight Checked
They are the country's watch
dogs at the corner grocery stores,
gasoline stations, and every nook
and corner where weights and
measures are used. They watch
with an eagle eye any attempt on
the part of the store keeper to de-
fraud the consumer by short
weight.
The convention opened at 1880
a. m. with an address of welcome
by E. C. Crittenden, assistant d.
rector of the National Bureau of
Standards. During their four-day
stay here the delegates will at
tempt to outline new means of
protecting the consumer.
Have Own Language
Delegates seldom speak the Ian.
guage of the man on the street.
To them tolerance" does not
mean to most men. 1t means the
maximum permissible error in
weights or measures.
Beer barrels have tolerance and
so do milk bottles, it appeared.
Dealers in these commodities are
permitted by law to put a little
more or a little less in the con-
tainer without being accused of
fraudulent practices. The amount
the dealer is permitted to leave out
is called the tolerance"

US. GOES At TER
LITTLE MAN

International news service
Uncle Sam laid plans today to
collect every penny owed by the
little taxpayers.
More than 50 100000 was asked
under the work-relief program to
organize a force which would ex-
anime the tax returns of those
making $4,000 or less annually.
Heretofore, Congress has not
furnished sufficient funds to
make a close study of the small
returns. Secretary Morgenthau
expressed the belief that con-
siderable sum would accrue to
the Treasury if it is made pos
sible to investigate returns of
$25,0O0 and under.
The small taxpayer contrib
utes most of the funds to the
Government. A heavy percent
age of all returns filed are those
showing income of SOS, 900 or less.
In the past comparatively little
attention has been shown to the
"little fellow" because of the
small amount of his income

MANY CHANGES
To Be MADE IN
WORKSPLANS

Revamping Of a large part Of
the 4,000-million-dollar works-relief
program faced the Administration
today.
Preliminary surveys showed
many of the big sections of the
proposed program will not meet
the chief requirements-that of
providing jobs for the 100000
employables now on relief-and
that the costs per man of many
other projects are too high.
The holding up of the Soil Con-
Servation and Forest Service pro-
grams, because they do not give
promise of enough immediate
work, foreshadowed similar action
on several other plans including:
The rural rehabilitation pro-
gram, for which 500, 100000 was
allocated, and the rural electrifi.
cation program, for which $780,
100000 was ear-marked by Con-
greSs.
Needs More Men
Because of the long time that
will elapSe before these projects
can be gotten under way and their
relatively slight employment, their
status in the work-giving setup is
considered shaky. Furthermore
the chief employment problem is
in the industrial districts.
The Gees failure to find
enough men on the relief rolls
within the age limits, 18 to %,
to bring the corps up to the ex-
banded 100000 enrolment, is ex-
pected to force a change in the
age requirement.
To Enroll Veterans
The Veterans Administration
will be called upon to send about
10000 veterans to the camps, to
bring their quota up to $1,000.
Many of the projects submitted
have been snagged by their costs
per man, the yearly cost per man
for most of them being about
$4,000, against the $1,1OO basis
figured by the new works appro-
priation.
While holding back projects
seeking more than 5000, 900, 900,
the advisory committee has recon-
mended to President Roosevelt
only $13,629.700 worth of other
projects, but their identity will
not be divulged until Mr.. Roose-
welt finally approves them.
