Young Robinson admits he grew
uneasy in Glendale. He feared the
neighbors. Twice in a week before
his capture he had premonitions of
danger.
1.-THE first came on my birthday,
May 5. I was 20 that day. I was
unusually nervous all day. My teeth
were hurting me-the pain was aw-
ful-and I realized I could get no
relief. I wouldn't think of going to
a dentist. I guess you could say
was depressed.
Mothers Day though about my
mother all day. really had some
kind of feeling that would see her
soon. I sure didn't think it would
be just three days, though"
Robinson admits he intended to
leave Glendale around the fifteenth
of the month to go back East. The
Omen made their surprise call on
the night of May IL.

II have no idea in the world how
they were tipped off," he answered
to the last question I asked him.
I'll never know. I'll swear that's
wrong, though, about any Pasadena
drug clerk tipping them off. That's
impossible.
Freddie, you can put it in the
paper that since this thing has
happened, I never once have dis
guised IS a woman. That's the
truth. This is real mustache. I
couldn't have grown one like it in
three weeks. You know that"
AS I left, he pointed to his feet.

TAX SUBSTITUTE
GAINS SUPPORT
Boost in Corporation Levy
and for Average Man
Seems Likely.
By United Press

By Untted Press
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The
Senate Finance Committee met to-
day at the grave of the New Deals
original proposed tax on undivided
corporate profits apparently pre-
pared to accept the general basis of
compromise boosting income levies
on corporations and on the average
man.
Rebels against the corporate
profits tax contended they had
killed the levy originally proposed
by President Roosevelt, despite re-
tention of drastically modified
fundamentals of the 1903 ZOO, 900
House bill
Democratic veterans, conceding
that the substitute would be &C
copied with changes in certain de-
tails, said that attempts would be
made to block increase of normal
income rates from 4 to 5 per cent
and to change other details but ad-
mitted the income tax boost, de-
signed to raise 100000, probably
would be accepted.
The increase was considered
politically unwise by some veteran
campaigners because of the coming
elections and because it was feared
Republicans would attempt to use
it in discussion of the cost to the
average taxpayer of the New Deal
program.

new PEAK REACHED
BY EXPORT COPPER
Price Hits Highest Point Since
May, 1881, as Foreign Sales
Continue to Mount.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 8.-With the
wave of foreign buying gaining force
daily, the price of export copper today
reached 9.60a9621a cents per pound,
the best since May, 1881.
For some time the greatest portion
Of European copper consumption has
been by armament and munitions
manufacturers. The unsettling Span
ish situation and its threat to inter-
national peace has primed the war
materials pump in at least eight of
Europe's major countries.
Unlike the demand from abroad.
domestic consumption has improved
primarily as q result of general busi-
ness recovery. Utility buying of cop
per for new distribution lines and
generating equipment, along with sub
stantial orders from railroads, the
Government and the automobile in
dustry, have operated to strengthen
the domestic market.
Although the latter market was
quiet today, its tone was firm, with
quotations unchanged at CTS cents a
pound. Local trade circles are de-
batting the likelihood OF a further rise
in the domestic price.
