STATE UPHELD
 IN PALKA CASE
Supreme Courts Decision Gives Connecticut Right
 to an Appeal

Washington, Dec. 6-(UP)-The supreme court today upheld as con- stitutional the Connecticut statute authorozing the state to appeal ver- diets in criminal cases. The statute was attacked as violation of the double jeopardy cause of the federal constitution.
 The courts ruling came on the appeal of Frank Palka, under death sentence for killing Bridgeport, Conn.,, policeman. Palka first was convicted of second-degree mur- der and sentenced to life imprison- ment. The state appealed and a f1rst-degree murder conviction re- suited from the new trial.
 The decision, written by Justice Benjamin Cardozo, was agreed to by eight members of the court. Jus- ice Pierce Butler dissented.
 Double Jeopardy
 Palka's attorneys argued the state had no right to appeal under the federal constitution because to do so would be to place Palka's life in jeopardy twice under the same in- dictment. They held the indictment should have been dismissed in re- sponse to their motion at start of the second trial.
 The state argued that the state permitting such appeals did not violate any clause Of the constitu- ton. It contended that there had been no final judgment in the case as long as appeals were pending

Nearly Two Years Since They Sailed Away From Their Native Land IDENTITY WAS KEPT
 SECRET ON BOARD Many Reports Are Out as to Just What Is Going
 to Happen

Englewood, N. J., Dec. G. (UP)-Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh were back in their native land today after an absence of nearly two years. The purpose of their visit-it was presumed to be a visit because they had left their children in England and its length were known only to themselves and they were not telling.
 Even their whereabouts had been left a matter for speculation by Lindbergh's strict regimen of se- crecy, but there was a great deal of evidence to indicate that they were voluntary prisoners behind the high iron fence of the closely guarded estate of Mrs. Lindbergh's mother, Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow. This was denied, however, by Mrs. Morrow's secretary.
 Only One Person Knew
 The Lindberghs returned to the United States on the liner President Harding. Only a vice president of the United States lines knew when they engaged passage, the captain Of the vessel did not know of his dis tinguished passengers until a few minutes before he sailed, and fellow passengers did not know 1t until the ship was well at sea. To guard against any passenger sending the news ahead, Colonel Lindbergh asked that the ship refuse any radio mes- sage in which his name was mem tioned. No such message was or fered, so the captain was spared the necessity of ruling on the question.
 Hence the few casual spectators 70 their clandestine landing yesterday -via the President Harding's third class gang plank - were astounded.
 A small sedan licensed to an em- ploy of the Morrow estate was walt

Baby Malady Battled
 By Medical Science
Lives of Eleven Infants Have Been Taken in Chicago; Physicians Are Hopeful They Will Conquer
 Virulent Disease

Chicago, Dec. 66(UP)-A first step by medical science toward con- trol of the virulent, unknown dis ease which has taken the lives of Il babies and threatens seven others at St. Elizabeth's hospital nursery was reveiled today by a staff pedia- trician.
 The accomplishment was described as minor refinement of technique of treatment" but physicians held hope it might aid in saving the lives of infants still isolated in the nurs- cry ward.
 The malady, characterized by acute inflammation of the intestinal tract and usually fatal within A hours, has baffled pathologiSts and toxicol- ogists. Physicians have recognized the ailment only in recent years as a new and distinct malady. Its dead- illness and unknown cause have promoted widespread and, so far, relatively unsuccessful study
 Means Determined
 Even as the death of the 11th vic- tim was announced, Dr. Benjamin Levin, head pediatrician of the hos pital staff, announced a means had been determined to offset exhaus- tion of bodily fluids-one of the mal- ady's principal symptoms.
 We have found way to coun- terbalance such deficiencies by blood tV1i he said. "and can control dehydra- ton before the infection has spread too far"
 Another symtom of the disease, in addition to the intestinal inf1amma- ton, is vomiting, he said.

Alters Booster Button
Campaign to be Held

Benton County All youngsters
are looking forward to successful
Booster Button campaign, which
will be held from February 9Th to
Is inclusive. Money from the sale
of these buttons is to be used for
two purposes. First, to help fur
nish the proposed All club build
ing on the Washington State Fair
grounds at Yakima and second, to
assist the local All clubs to pay the
way of delegates to the state club
camp in June. The price of the but
ton is ten cents of which four cents
will remain with the local club lead
er toward club camp expenses.
During the past years All club
youngsters who have attended the
Washington State Fair have been
obliged to stay in quarters that have
been very unsatisfactory, both from
the standpoint of health and con-
venience. Exhibits have always
been placed in leftover spaces and
have not had adequate protection
from thieves, while the All men,
bers had to stay in inconvenient
quarters. It is planned this year to
have a All club building that will
be PWA project, constructed joint
ly by the state and federal govern
ments. The state All leaders coun-
Gil is having the Booster Button
sale in order to be able to equip the
building for the use of the All club
youngsters and their project work at
the state fair.
There have been unconfirmed re-
ports drifting in from other coun-
ties that clubs are already making
plans for selling these buttons to
everyone in their county from the
various service clubs to the Dairy
mems Association. The president
of the local All leaders council is
Mrs. John T. Cole of the Buena
Vista community and secretary is
Mrs. w. L. Foraker of Kennewick.
All clubs planning to organize are
urged to get in touch with the
extension office before this time so
that they will be able to enter in the
fun of the Booster campaign.
