or of extreme sorrow, but all Of US are taxed
almost to the breaking point sometimes by
the incessant grind Of daily routine and the
knowledge that tomorrow you must force your.
self to do the same things you did today. A
smart psychologist once said we would all go
insane If we tried to count the number of times
we will brush our teeth before we die.
Yet, hour after hour and day after day,
newspaper editors and writer's must watch the
minutes click off toward unyielding headlines.
To me the strain seems almost comparable
with that Of condemned men awaiting the hour
of electrocution.
Press Retains Its POUers
There is something about a newspaper that,
once it gets into your blood, it stays there No
matter how much they grumble and fuss I have
yet to hear of reporters who would turn down
an assignment or deliberately betray the trust
placed in them.
They may say newspapers are losing their
power. But just watch any person who gets
into trouble and see how quickly he rushes to
the newspapers, either for protection against
persecution or to keep his name out of print
and save his reputation.
While seem to have no thoughts on any.
thing else today, have plenty of them about
the newspaper world. I think fearless news,
paper is the most powerful weapon for good
in our country today and know I would rather
help in little way to own or run one than
do anything else can think Of

He boaSted to police that he
wasn't afraid of the electric chair.

he probably would be placed in

He gave his occupation as sculp-

He was three times an inmate
of the Rockland state hospital, and
it was believed certain that the
question of his sanity would con-
stitute his defense. DR.. Russell Z.
Blaisdell. internationally known
psychiatrist and superintendent of
the hospital, who was familiar with
his case, said that Irwin's published
confessions indicated that his mnid

orderly manner at the time of the
crimes.
In previous statements in Chica-

seemingly carefree air that he sup
posed he would be sent back to the
New York state insance hospital
in which he had spent some time.
But with equal indifference he said
he was ready to go to the cleo
trio chair if that was what the
state decreed.
In a confession Irwin said he
only had wanted to kill Mrs. Kud-

LONDON, June 9.-(UP)-
Diana CDidD Battye, 2l-ycar-old
society beauty, who disappeared
from the home of a friend last
Tuesday, was found walking in
the street early today near the
home of her fiance, Michael AS
quith, grandson of the wartime
premier.
The blonde girl looked i'll and

she was suffering from amnesia,
or temporary loss of memory. Ii
was said she was first affected in
this manner after she fell off Il
horse several years ago.
She was unable to give any in
formation about where she had
been. She was taken to the home
of Asquith's mother, Lady Gym
thia AsQuirh.
The girl was found soon after
Scotland Yard repeatedly discov-
cred i new threatening letter
which at first was believed to
strengthen the theory chat she
had been kidnapped.
The letter was found in Il
handbag which the 2l-ycar-old so
ciety girl left behind when she
disappeared from the Oxford
Square home of her friend, Wis
countess Long last Tuesday
night.
"You were seen in Brighton
last night" it said. You have
been warned before"
1t was dated April q. Diana

Scotland Yard, still inclined to
believe that the disappearance
was a hoax or the girl was vic
tim of amneSia, circulated de-
