MISSING MAN
LIVES, BELIEF

Police today secuted the posi-
bility that Robert Cuttings, %
year-old cleaning-plant manager,
who disappeared from his home at
Kensington, Md, last Thursday,
had committed suicide and pre-
dicted that he would soon return.
Discovery of Cuttings auto with
a note pinned to the steering
wheel yesterday, gave a suicide
clue. Cuttings had directed the
note to his young wife and said:
81 can't stand these hours
any longer. 1 am through. I
am going down on the moon
light. Take care of Sonny. /
love you always"
The car was parked near the
Wilson Line steamship docks. Po-
lice found that he did make a
moonlight excursion on the
steamer on the night of his dis
appearance and stated the belief
that Cuttings is suffering from
overweight nerves and may soon
recover and return. The search
for him is being continued, how
ever, it was said.

The Black Controversy.
(New York World -Telegram)


 The right of the people to be secure in their per- sons houses papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause SUD- ported by oath affirmation and particularly de- scribng the place to be searched and the persons things to be seized" ii
 That language is pretty clear It is the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution-the Mans home is his castle" amendment It expresses basic right, very precious right right born of centuries of op- pression and bloodshed.
 Its violation cannot be justified by any rational ization about the ends justifying the means-such for example as the zealots in prohibition days en- ployed in their defense of wire tapping and home raiding without warrants.
 Crcumvention of this Fourth Amendment is of Q piece with that short and easy of torture police and prosecutors often try to take in obtaining convictions On the well theory that it is better for hundred guilty to escape than for innocent man to be punished the preservation of any of the inherent rights such the under discussion is more vital than any result, however good that might be attained through the violation
 The assertion is now made that the Black Lobby Investigating Committee exceeded it's authority that Fourth Amendment in prosecuting it's search evidence
 The counter assertion is made by Senator Black that the procedure regular that proper subpoe- mas were served, that the committee acted in the manner employed and approved by every Congresson- al investigation since l792
 That the Communications Commission part of the executive branch of the government and operating under authority limited against such an act provided the Black committee with blanket" copy of every telegram sent in or out of Washington for consider able period of time is also alleged To that Senator Black replies that no teegrams in possession of the committee were supplied by any other branch of the government.
 And there the controversy now stands
 Judgment cannot be passed until more evidence in The court test of the legality under the Fourth Amendment, of the committees action is to be made We glad of that For the outcome will reveal wheth- CT the basic right has been violated or whether the at tacK on the Black committee is just another backre such as was instituted in an attempt to stop the Teapot Dome investigation.

Horoscope NThe stars incline
 but do not cOnper'

THURSDAY, MARCH, 26, 1886
 Benefic aspects rule today, accord. | ing to astrology. It is a time fol courageous effort in adjusting agri. cultural problems, for Saturn smiles upon farmers.
 Astrologers who have long em- phasized the importance of de- | centralization in United States gov- ernmental affairs now foretell suc- cess in projects undertaken by cities counties and states.
 Mercury smiles today upon writ | CTS and seems to promise good tid- ings in the newspapers. It is an au- spicious day for signing contracts and other legal papers.
 Building will occupy attention under this sway which encourages planning rather than actual work Engineers, contractors and archi- tects should benefit greatly in the coming summer.
 Steel may be utilized more than ever before in modern buildings. New inventions will benefit the builder and will improve the dwellings of moderate cost.
 In the evening banquets and other meetings where public affairs are discussed are subject to the best possible rule of the stars. Lawyers should be fortunate under this sway.
 An eastern astrologer who has made study of the horoscope of aspirants for President warns that Colonel Frank Knox, Chicago pub fisher, should be ruled by prudence, for there is an obstructive combin- ation in his natal chart"
 The same seer finds that Govern or Eugene Talmadge of Georgia lacks dominance of leadership" but there is a possibility of his coming before the Philadelphia convention His criticism of the President is due to a clash between influences of the ruling stars of the two Democrats.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of year of great activi- ty, assuring satisfactory incomes Older folk will aid those who are younger
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be Self-reliant, trustworthy and capable of real success. Sub- jects of this sign are usually fond of building chacacters and institu- tions.
 Heman Humphrey, onetime pres ident of Amherst, was born on this day l779. Others who have cele- brated it as a birthday including Robert Frost, poet, 1875; David H. Storer, physician and naturalist, 18o4.-(Copyright, 1936).
