Party Suicide
Is Regarded as
Il Coincidence
Death of Actress Not
Linked With Chain.
Letter Guests.
By tie Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 26.-The simple
label of coincidence" was placed by
police today upon the suicide of 25-
year-old actress and the gathering of
about 100 party-bound mystery
guests" in the lobby of her Park ave-
nue. apartment house while she was
inhaling gas.
The actress was Mrs. Helen Kim
Mont, one-month bride of James Mont
fashionable interior decorator. Police
closed the case, which at first ap-
peared to have elements of a mystery
thriller, with assertion that the phan-
ton party and the suicide were uncon-
nected.
The party guests assembled in the
lobby as the result of a chain-letter
hoax perpetrated by bored Park ave-
nue. funsters, police indicated. The
invitations were sent out merely nam
Mrs. Mont's apartment, and no
guests" were found who knew Mrs.
Mont.
The actress herself was unaware of
the crowd in the lobby, police said,
and it was only coincidence that she
took her life as they gathered, Won
dering when the festivities would be-
gin.
Police said Mrs Mont left suicide
note, the contents of which they did
not reveal

 Communications presented at the meeting were confined to just one, that of Charles Tuokett for tine position of city clerk No action was taken on the application as it was decided to continue the present temporary arrangement of full time clerk, while the work is heavy, due to the relief work going on, at salary of S150 per month.

WPA TO KEEP
NURSERIES

Curtailment of Works Progress
Administration activities in Wash
ington, expected to materialize
June 30, probably will have no
effect on the nine nursery schools
operated here by the relief agency.
This hope was expressed today
by Otto J. CaSs, dputy WPA Ad-
ministrator, who declared an addi-
tional kindergarten might be
added at a time when 500 workers
were expected to be dropped.
It was explained that all WPA
projects automatically cease June
80, but will be renewed the next
day, the beginning of the new
fiscal year. After this adminiStra-
tive juggling, however, the relief
agency will emerge much smaller
in personnel and activities.
Existing nursery schools employ
about 120 WPA workers, CaSs said,
adding that the creation of an.
other will depend on whether a
suitable building can be obtained.
The schools give kindergarten in
struction to children from two to
five years old, providing they are
from low-income families.

Tax Shy Members
Of Congress kk
Constituents

Many members Of Congress who
in recent years have legislated for
the District with complete uncon-
Germ, except now and then to
throw unjust criticism at the city,
may learn during their next cam
paign, that such folly will prove
costly.
On Monday a huge majority Of
the House refused even to con-
slider the District tax bill as re-
ported by the District Committee,
subcommittee of which after
studying every possible type of tax
suggestion, had spent many hot
and long hours striving to write
an equitable tax measure for the
city.
The action of the House was
predicted almost entirely, on the
part of those voting in the ma
jority, on the fact that they
would be subjected to the income
tax under the bill. other than
that fact most of the members
knew little about the measure.
Today, it developed, reaction
must have come to many Of them
from their homes-their conStitu-
ents want to know "how come"
these members are so ready to
heap all kinds of taxes on others
but refuse to subject themselves
to a tax. For, one member of the
District tax subcommittee. said:
"Since that vote was taken
Monday, I've had nearly 100
members come to me and say,
why didn't you tell me just
what that vote meant the other
day?'"
Evidently they are fearing the
heckling they will get during their
next campaigns for their vote
Monday.
