Man or Woman?

Arrest is sought for the beauti-
full blond young woman, known
to Government agents as Hedwig
Brand, who is believed to be the
mysterious murderer, Herr Strick-
ler."
Stricken" as this person anony.
mously calls himself, has puzzled
and terrified secret agents of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
for the last eight weeks, for since
then two murders have been at
tributed to his nefariouS acts
both believed to have been COM
mitted in his attempt to obtain
the complete formula for a deadly
weapon Of warfare.
Miss Brand, who occupied the
rooming house in which the body
Of a man, known only as Mr.. Wei
kirk, was found, was questioned
about the murder. Although she
was reputed to know nothing about
the man, it developed that Wei
kirk, a nttle-known European, was
the original thief Of a dangerous
fcrmula stolen from a certain gov.

came from Scotland Yard, that he
is known by reputation although
his identity, age and sex are I'M
known. "Striekler" possesses half
of the formula, and has turned
into a mad cold-blooded killer, In
trying to gain possession Of the
other half, which is in the hands
of the Federal agents.
The other murdered man, killed
several weeks later, was known as
DR.. Brand, and claimed he was q
relative Of Hedwig Brand. Miss
Brand and DR.. Brand both claimed
they were representatives of the
International Peace League. who
had traced "Strickler" to this city
in the attempt to obtain the form
ula for the purpose Of destroying
it, in the interest Of peace. Besides
both bodies were found notes
signed "Strickler," which threat
ened to also kill others who might
interfere in his affairs.
After local secret agents received
information from Scotland Yard
that the Peace League failed to
identify Miss Brand, DR.. Brand
and a Mr.. Dunston, another
roomer, who also claimed he was
a representative of the same or
ganization, the Federal men re-
doubled their search for the
woman and Mr.. Dunston.
Miss Brand suddenly disap-
peared from the rooming house
several days ago and at first it
was believed that her life, too,
was imperiled by the murderouS
"Strickler." But now Federal
agents believe the young woman
herself may be "Strickler." Dun
ston vanished from the rooming
house just a few hours after he
was first questioned.
The ace of the secret agents Of
the F. B. I. working on the weird
case is known only as X-9, and he
plans to lure the murderer back
to the rooming house.
His own life has been threat
ened. Will he succeed in captur.
ing "Strickler"? Is Miss Brand
really "Strickler"?

B0RAH BACKS
NYE DEMAND
FOR SPYQUIz
BY ROBERT McGHL
International News Service

A Senate investigation Of spy
rings and subversive interests
operating in the United States was
demanded today by q strong BIZ
partisan group Of Senators headed
by Nye (R,), Of North Dakota.
The proposed inquiry looked
like certainty when Senate lead
ers prevailed upon Nye to enlarge
a resolution to investigate an al
legged Spanish fascist espionage
network to include the activities
of all alien organizations.
The resolution. carrying a re-
quest for $25, 900 for the investiga-
ton, will be placed before the Sen
ate tomorrow.
Backed by BOrah
In addition to its sponsor, the
enlarged resolution has the sup.
port Of a group headed by Senator
Borah (R) of Idaho. Others who
have shown unusual interest in
the proposal include Senators King
Cd of Utah and Copeland CD
of New York. Senator Borah said:
Gan investigation should be
begun at once into all activities
of Communists, Fascist and
other foreign agencies which are
operating in this country to
undermine our form Of govern
ment and embrOil us in . for
eign conflict"
SECRET DOCUMENTS
Nye will recommend a special
committee be appointed by the
Vice President to carry out the in
quiry. He will ask for committee
power to subpoena such members
Of the foreign diplomatic group
necessary to "get at the bottom
of this business" and will also
ask for access to State Depart
ment files and records.
His original request for an In
vestigation Of the Spy ring" Of
the Spanish Fascist government
headed by Gen. Francisco Franco,
was based on secret documents
turned over to him by an undis-
closed source. The documents,
made public in the Senate, accused
Manuel Diaz and Marcelino Gar
cia, steamship operators and own
ers, II Battery Place, New York,
of carrying on subversive activi-
ties that threaten American neu-
trality" with revolt.torn Spain.
The "spy ring" Nye said, also
includes Juan Francisco de Car.
denaS, former Spanish Ambassa-
dor to the United States, and for
mer attaches and aides Of the en-
bassy before the outbreak Of the
Spanish civil war.

One Way Of Obtaining
Vaccine for Smallpox

was scarifed and the vaccine intro
duced and the hole in the egg COW
cred with paraffine. A few days
later the egg is opened up again
when it is found that the chicken
has a nice vaccine take. The chick
is killed and the lymph from the
skin used for making smallpox
vaccine. One of the great advan-
tages of the procedure is that it is
all done under absolutely sterile
conditions.
Interesting Development
It is an interesting development
of the recent work on filterable
viruses. Jenner, the originator of
smallpox vaccination, knew that he
could not grow vaccine except by
using either COWS or human beings
Nor has anybody since ever been
able to grow it on cultures: only on
living animals. Recently it has
heen determined that vaccinia is a
flterable virus and that filterable
viruses grow only upon living It's
sue culture. A favorite living
tissue has been the chick embryo
because it is readily available.
The present procedure is a far
crv from the early days of vaccl-
nation, when they used to soak up
the vaccine on linen threads ana
send It around the world in en-
velopes.
Incidentally, if the vaccine does
