Independent Candidate

Kennedy is an independent can- didate for the Democratic guberna- torial nomination with the backing of Lewis and Sen. Joseph F. Guffey, D., Pa, who opposed Jones as head of the state ticket but who was not strong enough to stop him. There are other democratic candidates for governor but the big question in Pennsylvania is whether the Lewis Guffey- Kennedy combination will prove in primary voting to be dom- inant in Pennsylvania Democratic politics.

HAZARDS HELD
FACTOR IN SUIT

Hazards encountered by a a.
year-old woman taking the second
train ride of her life must not be
withheld from a jury, the United
States Court of Appeals ruled to-
day in ordering a new trial of the
damage suit of Mrs. Anna l..
Tobin against the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
The Appellate Court held that
the trial justice in the District
Court erred when he excluded
from the jury evidence intended
to show that it was the duty Of
the railroad to take more than
ordinary precautions with a pas
senger Of Mrs. Tobin's age.
'The whole question of due
care and negligence is one for
the Jury to decide" Justice Jus
tin Miller declared.
Mrs. Tobin. in her original
suit, asserted that she took her
second train ride in 1886 when
she went to Philadelphia to at.
tend the Democratic National
Convention. AS she alighted
from the train in the under
ground terminal her foot caught
in a crack between the step and
the platform and she fell heavily,
sustaining permanent injuries.

Magazine Apologies
For Engraver Trick

Government officials today are
seriously looking into an odd ad-
vertisement which appeared in the
current issue of "QST," a maga'

operators. Postal officials and
Secret Service men have been as
signed to the case because the
advertisement contains some print,
readable only with a microscope,
wherein occur the words: This
wherein occur phrases cursing the
president of these United States. !"
Representatives of the magazine
have apologized to White House
officials, with the statement that
the wording was done by an en-
graver of the sort who can en-,
grave the Lords Prayer on pin
head, and that the magazine Off
cials knew nothing of the matter
until it was called to their atten-
ton by a protest from reader.

not to be seriously ruffled by the
matter, but have filed the maga-
zine away with other odds and
ends of profanity ETC., which from
time to time have been directed
toward the President.
The subject-matter in which the
fine printing occurs is an adver-
tisement of a dealer in certain
radio materials. At the top OF the
advertisement is what goes for a
replica of newspaper page, with
the caption The SUM-" Beneath it
are lines indicating three news
paper columns.
They are illegible to the llnaided
eye, but with an ordinary reading

sentences, such as "The people of

containing the epithet applied to
the President is in the third col
