frequent proflt-taking periods tended
to slow the trading pace Realizing

Need to Go to Work

I repeat, 7 am no politician. Nor
am any Columbia College gradu-
ate. But at least I have the normal
common sense of the plain think
ing American worker which I am
and the spunk Of a two-fisted
American mother. And I hereby
protest that the demands Of the
erudite Professors Counts and
Beard are completely cock-eyed
and cuckoo and that these learned
gentlemen themselves are but one
degree removed from nudistS, hui
man flies, tree sitterS and other
crackpotS.
The trouble with you, boys, Is
that we taxpayers have kept you
coddled on your campus for so long
that you've forgotten what regular
living is like or what it has cost.
The liberty Of the common man
means nothing to you-you never
see beyond his grammar or mental
test. The rights Of the common
man move you not at all. You are
concerned merely with your own
theories for which, as campus cut
ups. you will never have to pay 0
penny, since-whatever may come
the taxpayer must, as always,
pay the bill. What you need is D
pair Of patched overallS and 80
days sweating labor down some
manhole. After which, I'm betting,
you'd appreciate individual liberty
and those who handed it to you

Resents Communism

As q woman, that dream Is my
highest ideal-aS q mother, I be.
Neve 1t to be my duty to implant
that ideal In the children whose
lives I serve and mold. And ]
therefore resist and resent COM
munism with all the force Of my
being.
Admittedly the practice Of de-
mocracy Is not perfact. Any more
than the practice Of Christianity
is perfect. But are we Americans
to turn Buddhist, Mohammedan or
fire worshippers merely because
we do not perfectly follow the
trail set by Jesus Of Nazareth? BY
the same token, are We to discard
that priceless heritage left us by
our battling forefathers- that tall
and shining dream Of freedom and
eQuality-becauSe we cannot as
vet perfectly demonstrate democ-
racy in our daily practice2
DEMOCRACY SUITS THE
AMERICAN SOUL. It is deeper
than a matter Of politicS-it Is
something that is bred in our bone
and our blood. It fits our spiritual
desire. We Americans believe in
a mans right to be an individual
not merely to be an obscure unit
in a mass as a Communist. We be-
Neve in a mans right to 60 as far
and as high as his individual genius
will permit him, provided he. does
not harm his neighbor by so doing
or injure his weaker brother. In
short, we Americans believe in
the evolution Of individuals .
Believe that God meant man to
rise to his fullest possible stature
as an individual. And in that be-
lief we rear our children.
We Americans believe these
things because this nation was
founded, not by a revolving mass
Of stupid and inflamed peasants,
but by the courageous deeds Of In
spired individualS-men who dared
stake all they had on the issue of
personal liberty. From our very
beginning A MANS RIGHT TO
BE HIS LARGEST SELF has been
our most sacred, national principle.

New Clue; Woman
Tells Of ProWIer

NEW YORK, April 16 dN.s9.
A male adventurer, Of the type
known to women IS a "gigolo," Is
being sought as q suspect In the
murder Of Mrs. Nancy Titterton,
the Daily Mirror said in an ex-
elusive story today.
The name Of the "gigolo" is
known to the Daily Mirror, the
story said, and was given to police
by the paper but the suspects
identity is being withheld so that
search for him may not be ham
pered.
Meanwhile, detectives were
desperately checking and CLASSIFY
ing five blurred fingerprtnts IN
their hunt for the perpetrator OF
the "bathtub" murder"
Chemicals Help
The prints, brought out on the
polished headboard Of Mrs. Tit
terton's bed by the new silver
nitrate process, admittedly offered
the police only the slimmest sort
Of clue.
Curiously enough, while the
slayer's trail grew colder, the po-
lice got a clearer picture Of what
took place in the Titterton apart
ment in exclusive Beekman' Place
last Friday. .
A detailed account Of the body
and clothing Of the writer, given
out by Inspector Lyons, showed
that the killer had attempted to
partially clothe the body OF his
victim after attacking her.
Why had the slayer attempted
to dress his victim In the dress
ing gown which was foun d
draped about her body in the
bathtub?
Clue Promised
what was Mrs. Titterton doing
In the moments that her killer
was knotting the garments that
choked out her life. :. moments
in which she was presumably ur'
gagged, but made no outcry?
These were the perplexing ques'
tions that rose along with new
details.
Meanwhile police officials pro-
fessed themselves as mystified by
the cryptic utterance Of DR.. Alex.
ander o. Gettler. city xicologist:
II will have . definite clue TO
the murder In two or three days.
/ know now In my own mind
what the spots are ON the bed
spread examined, but I Will not
reveal any further information"
Today, like previous days
brought q general collapsing OF
yesterdays clues. The Jumps OF
yellow mud on the bedspread
were discarded as worthless.
Mystery PrOwler
A mysterious prowler has been
seen In Beekn1an Place since the
murder Of Mrs. Titterton. At 4
o. m. yesterday he tried to get into
the apartment Of Mrs. A. L. Bath
who lives with her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. L. r. Wal
ter. just a few doors from the
scene Of the Ttterton hathtuh
Staying.
Mrs. Bath told police she was
awakened by the sound Of q key
being inserted In the lock Of her
apartment door. Three times the
key was inserted into the lock
she said. Terrified, she screamed
and then heard steps running
down the stairway to the outer
door Of the building.

In his first press conference since

terday the Nation at last Is divided

servative party.
In response to questions, the Interior
chief commented:
II think now We really have what
some Of us have wanted for 20 years
or mora political cleavage along
logical lines between progressives and
conservatives. That is what the Pro-
gressive party set out to do in 1912
through the medium of the Republican
party, but it missed the opportunity.
Just as we 60 back today to Andrew
Jackson's administration as marking
a change in the political cleavage. SO
20 years from now we will look back
to Roosevelt's administration"
