Dinner
For Two

Many of us, in driving past,
have admired the new building
at Twentieth and Massachu-
setts Avenue which houses, on
its first floor, the Junior
League.
It remained for Nicholas
Lely, genial Counselor of the
Greek Legation, to become the
first tenant in one of the at
'tractive modern apartments on
the second floor. He is deep
now in the throes of getting it
settled and comfortable. Over
the attractive mantel he plans
to hang a recently completed
portrait of himself.
He is a charming host and
his little domicile will undoubt-
edly be the scene of many
happy gatherings.

A long legal fight to commute their sentences to life was carried to the U. s. supreme court and was supported by the British govern- ment. Should Governor Merriam grant another reprieve, the attor- neys said they would apply to the supreme court for 6 writ of corar1 nobis, arguing that the conviction was illegal because neither Mackay nor Kristy was in the courtroom when the jury announced its verdict A 60 day reprieve was granted Feb. 24. Another petition for clemency won a 30 day reprieve April 22, 40 minutes before they were scheduled to hang. British moves were taken through the San Francisco consular office and the Washington embassy, at request of the British home for eign office.
 The condemned men sent letters to the men they kidnaped-Frank c. Sykes, chairman of the parole board; Joseph H. Stephens and Warren Atherton, board directors, and Mark Noon, board secretary. They invited them to witness the hanging "so you can sec for your selves how we, who have been per. jured to death, have died" The let. ters were date-lined "Condemned Row, San Quentin," and were signed your victims"

ANOTHER WAR IS
 INLEACUE HANDS
Danish Foreign Minister Says Future of League
 Will Decide It

Copenhagen, Denmark, May a. (UP)--Whethe there is to be an. other World war depends upon the immediate future of the League of Nations, Peter Munch, Danish foreign minister, declared today at the opening of the Scandinavian inc terparliamentary conference.
 Munch is leader of the five coun- tries which regard themselves as neutral members of the League in the Italo-E Ethiopian dispute. The group - Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden is known in Geneva as the leagues conscience.
 Johan Ludwig Mowinckel, former premier of Norway, inaugurated conference discussion with Q pro- posal for Q 26-year European peace pact. He urged an air pact to provide protection for cities against wartime bombardment.
 Denmark to Stay In
 During his speech Munch voiced Denmark's determination to remain in the league. Would there be less risk outside the Ieaguc?" he asked. We must stick to every slight hope offered by international legal machinery. Although 1t has not fulfilled all our original expec- tations the league has accomplished something. And as for the i'm. mediate future, everything depends upon the league as to whether there is to be another big war. No results can be expected until there is Q real mind for peace among the ra- tions. Urtil then there can be no disarmament"

 5.-Two small compacts.
 Beyond Recognition
 The body had been burned be- yond recognition. All Identification marks had been painstakingly de- Stroyed. That the woman had been subjected to violent attack before death was indicated by the fact that both legs were broken above the thighs, and both wrists likewise were shattered. There also was evi- dence that she had been chcked, authorities said.
 Whether the staying occurred on the mountain top, or elsewhere, and the body taken there for dlsposi- ton, could not be determined. The spot where the body was found is nearly six miles from the nearest habitation, and a scant mile from the Vermont state line.
