Hoover, son of the former President,
said today the Greenfield Land Co. Of
Bakersfield, Calf, in which he and
three other persons are interested, had
received about $4,000 in cotton bene-
fit payments from the New Deal A. A..

Young Hoover added, however. that
the company had "lost about $751; 900
through the unconstitutional acts" of
the administration during the time
covered by the benefit payment.
He said reports had been circulated
he also received A. A. A. benefits
through the Kern County Land Co.,
but if it was true the company had
been paid $29, 900, as reported. his pro
rata share would be about $3.50"
Young Hover did not know of any
A. A. A. benefit payments accruing to
his father, Herbert Hoover, through
land holdings and expressed belief
there were none.

STRANGLE MURDER

Fingerprints Are Sought on

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE shrill
ring of her doorbell. detectives sug-
gested tonight, may have signaled
the murder of Mrs Nancy Evans Tit
terton in her Beekman place apart
ment yesterday.
Wiley Straughn, delivery boy for q
tailor shop, told Investigators into the
34-year-old writer's death that he
rang the bell several times at 11:3o
am. yesterday morning-the hour
Mrs. Titterton's death is believed to
have occurred.
An autopsy showed today that the
woman, wife of an executive of the
National Broadcasting Co., died Of
"strangulation by ligature" following
criminal assault. Her body. virtu-
ally nude, was found in the bathtub
Of the Titterton apartment, at %
Beekman place-a short, narrow
street paralleling the East River and
location where many well-known
persons make their homes.
Straughn told detectives he went to
the five-story. brownstone apartment
building to deliver a dress.
Received No Response.
He said he had been instructed to
ring the downstairs lobby bell and If
there was no answer he was not to go
upstairs to the fourth-floor apart
ment. He rang several times without
receiving any response, he said, and
then left the building.
Thus, Mrs. Titterton unwittingly
may have given her tailor the order
that closed the door to a possible
rescuer in the time of her greatest
need.
While laboratory experts tried to
develop fingerprints on the clothing
that had been ripped from her body
and flung about the bed room, detec-
tives searched for a handsome youth
who alarmed other tenants Of the
building twice last week by ringing
their doorbells in the early morning
hours.
Countess Alice Hoyos. who occupies
the apartment below the Tittertons,
told police the mysterious visitor
called at her door last Friday and
asked for girl, whose name was un.
familiar to the countess. He num-
bled something and went away, she
said.
Called Previous Night.
The same well-dressed youth had
called at her apartment the previous
night, police learned. On that occa-
sion the door was opened by Miss
Phyllis Stafford, who shares the
apartment with the countess and her
mother. Miss Stafford said the caller

GENEVA. April 1.-THE statesmen
of the key nations Of Europe have been
given the opportunity to study over
Easter just what Italy means by the
question: "Is the presence of Italy
desired?"
That question. asked by Baron Pom
peo Aloisi, trusted representative OF
Premier Mussolini to the League of Ma
tions. was directed personally to the
representatives Of Great Britain,
France and Belgium last night.
They had rNet with the Italian envoy
to determine what they, as signatories
of the Locarno pact, should do about
Germany's act Of remilitarizing the
Rhineland.
Gas Charges Listed by Eden.
But their session followed meeting
Of the League Councils Committee of

foreign secretary. listed a series of
charges that Italy was using poison
gas against Ethiopians. Eden demand
ed that the Committee of 13, which
includes every member of the League
Council except Italy, remain in con-
tinuous session until Italy and Ethi-
opia talked peace.
He yielded. however. to suggestions
for compromise, by which the commit
tee adjourned until next Thursday tc
permit its president, Salvador de
Madariage Of Spain, to attempt joint
peace negotiations with Italy and
Ethiopia.
When the Locarno pact signatories
met after the committees stormy ses-
sion, Baron Aloisi demanded of his
conferees:
MY government wants to know from
each of you whether the presence of
Italy is desired here, and whether her
collaboration in the work of European
reconstruction IS wanted.
Session Ends Inconclusively.
eff it Is not desired, Italy will have
no reason for assuming risks and re-
sponsibilities and will reserve the
right to establish her own policies. -
The Locarno session ended incon-
clusively, with the diplomats going
home for Easter. British sources said
the respite would permit them to talk
directly with the Germans on the pos
slbilities for an adjustment of the Sc
rious situation which has arisen along
the old Western front" of the World
War area.
French diplomats said they did not
believe the British would achieve any
success in attempting to induce

The only ones officially in the field are on the
Democratic side and their public utterances promise
practically the same things. Chief on the list is
social security.
Reading the Indiana newspapers we find that
many who write letters to the editors in the cities
as well as in the towns, hammer away in favor of the
Townsend Plan. Whether men and women favoring

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson


NN the first day of the new year former teacher
~ of mine died. He was one of those dearly loved
university professors whose imprint upon the lives of
their pupils is ineradicable
1t is true that saw him seldom of late. But
each time did, my heart was warmed with the
memory of college days when he had represented to
me all that was strong and wise. inspired and
glorious.
membrance of things past" For during the years
when were teacher and student together, he
faced the richest period of his maturity
He came in youth from far country to this his
adopted land bringing to bless it of the Viking
spirit. He kind simple man who loved great
whole life in the company of such heroic figures as
Wagner, Beethoven, Bach and Handel.
He brought music to me. Under him first
learned to hear to appreciate it, to hunger for it.
And he had the rare gentleness which one feels must
always go hand in hand with teacher of that art.
Today he is dead-but no, that is not true For
at the of his departure from earth, thousands
of his former students all the United States will
fold his memory little closely in their hearts
All those of who raw. ignorant country boys
and girls when first knew him, now carry within
us spark he kindled. He gave beauty to those who
were starved for it, encouragement to the hopeless
and patience and consolation to the clumsy who
were never quite good enough to achieve that which
they longed to accomplish.

THE world has become vitamin-

THE world has become vitamin-
Il conscious.
Twenty-Five years ago nobody
knew what vitamin was. Today,
hardly a single food substance is
sold without reference to its vita
min content, and every one feels he
ought to have the right vitamins in
the right amounts in his daily food,
Strangely, our knowledge of vita
minis has developed by realizing
what happens when they are absent.
Complete deficiency of any one Of
the vitamins will inevitably result
in appearance of disease and in de-
generation of the tissues.
Partial absence of vitamin will
result in symptoms which indicate
the beginnings of serious changes.
The vitamins differ one from an
other in relationship to their pres
ervation, their effects on the body.
the rate of their deterioration, and
similar factors. Just because one
vitainin is deficient, you need not
try to take all of them in excess.
Yet many promoters are combin-
ing the vitamins into tablets, cap
sules. and similar preparations, and
urging the sale of these products as
cure alls" for disease.
THE sale of vitamins for any
i purpose which they can not
possibly accomplish is unwarrant-
ed.
If you are eating a well-balanced
diet with plenty of the essential
food substances that have men
toned in this series of articles, you
need not spend extra money to
buy vitamin concentrates or ex-
tracts in pure forms, unless your
doctor recommends them. 1.
1t is a great mistake to regard
all the vitamins as similar sub
stances. Each has to be considered
on its own merits.
They differ from one another
chemically. One vitamin can not
take the place of another. Two
vitamins combined can not take
the place of a third.
u
4 BSENCE of one or several OF
L n the vitamins may, however. so
weaken the tissues of the human
body that they become susceptible
to infection in way in which they
would not be susceptible if the diet
were adequate
In other words, absence of a single
vitamin leads to certain definite dis
turbances which indicate that short
age. Absence of one or several vita
minis leads to weaknesses and
changes in the tissues which make
them incapable of growth and
health.
In this series of articles the vita
minis are considered primarily as
food substances. However, doctors
use them in concentrated form for
the treatment of various kinds of
disease. Such usage is distinct from
the eating of foods for health and
growth.

CONDEMNS HANGING OF.
G-MAN'S SLAYER.

By H. T.
Why should civilization now so
backward? For many years we
have gone forward and now, in
1886, we are about to go back to the
barbaric stage. Early in March a
man is supposed to be hung in the
County jail yard.
This man has committed murder
and should be punished, but why
should we put man to death? Who
is this death going to help? Would
you enjoy placing the moose around
this mans neck? The hanging of
this man is going to do no one
good.
Mental torture is the worst of all
torture. This man will have mental
torture only until March and then
he and his torture will die.
Would it not be much worse
penalty if this man were to be given
life imprisonment and have the
crime he has committed remain ON
his mind with the memories of that
bleeding, groaning, dying man lying
on the ground where he fell when
he shot him?
Let's deal with crime in mod
ern method. 1t would be much easier
if we taught our younger genera
ton to be law-abiding citizens.
Why can not we prevent crime in
its earlier stage, instead of spending
millions of dollars on criminals and
then killing them after they have
been captured, as we would vicious
animals.
