ALFRED as Woman,
Man Is Found. Hanged

GALESBURG, ILL.,, Dec. 10
Wigged and attired in the garments
of his mother the body Of Gale
Dawson was found hanged to a tree
today in q suburban. pasture.
The death of the former railroad
brakeman on his 28th birthday ami
versary presented authorities with q
fantastic mystery.
Policemen, summoned by two
frightened rabbit hunters, found the
body suspended from a tree by a
dog chain. Davison's hands were
manacled behind him with a pair
of toy handouts. His head was COW
cred with a brown wig.
Neither his mother. Mrs. Maude
Dawson, nor girl with whom he
kept company, Miss Juanita Ward,
could offer an explanation of his
death. Miss Ward told officers that
when she saw him last night he ap-
peared cheerful and discussed plans
for celebrating his birthday.
1t was not until the body was re-
moved to a funeral parlor that it
was discovered the woman's cloth
ing was a masquerade.
A post mortem examination dis
closed no signs Of violence except
strangulation. An inquest was ten
tatively set for tomorrow.

The three-man stan OF the latest
newspaper in Washington's metro
pohtan area gathers news as 1t de-
livers the paper and stages sit-down
strikes, II necessary, on the porches
of prospective subscribers.
The methods have proved their
worth in the eyes of Wendell Sigler,
IL, the publisher, business manager,
advertising manager, reporter and
carrier boy of the News Of College
Park School and Neighborhood. And
If any one doubts, Wendell can pro-
duce a financial statement showing
a clear profit of 81 for each Of the
eight issues of his paper.
Besides Wendell, there are two
other members of the staff, his
sister, JEANNE. S. the circulation
manager, who works on Is per cent
commission basis, and Lorraine Ed
ith Allen, II, art editor, who works
for the pleasure of seeing her
drawings on the front page.
Wendell keeps his news columns
filled by asking, ANY news today?"
as he delivers each weeks edition
to his 100 subscribers. One of his
big scoops" last week was the an
nouncement that a Tydings-for-
President boom had been started
in College Park.
Evening star., 1938-12-11

Both Wendell and Lorraine are
pupils at the College Park School,
and In a recent issue the editor
showed his dislike for the old build
ing which formerly housed the
school by writing that the work of
''taring" it down is to start soon.
He added that The quickest and
easiest way to get the old building
down is to stick a piece of dyna-
mite under and blow it up."

his career is to be in the newspaper

problem is whether to make his
two-page mimeograph paper larger.
Business has been good and his ad-
vertising has been exceeding the
limits Of the back page, which he
allots for that purpose.
Circulation-at 2 cents a copy

go-getter when it comes to signing

the middle part, while the slow
movement was played with a great
deal Of feeling.
1t was with special interest that
one looked forward to hearing the
"Voces Intimae (Quartet in D Mi
nor, Op. S." by Jean Sibelius,
whose symphonic poem, 'Finlandia, 4"
created here such a favorable i'm
preston recently. Sibelius lets the
solo violin introduce the subject,
allowing the cello to round it out,
developing 1t later by the entire en-
semble. The quartet is not free
from a certain Russian flavor, either
in the first movement or in the
beautiful "Adagio di Motto" of the
third. which could be otherwise
termed "Canto Amoroso" for its
wealth of sustained melody, literally
sung by the four instruments. As
whole. the work is impressive and
compelling and should have a per-
mament place in the chamber music
repertoire.
The concert was concluded by Bee
thoven's Quartet in E Minor, Op.
SO, No. g" with its Russian theme
in the "allegretto' movement, the
one which Moussorgsky also used
In the Coronation Scene" in Boris
Goudonov.' Yesterday afternoon
this strain had a place of its own in
the adept hands of the players who
gave the work, heard here only re-

its shading. which the group has
perfected to an artistic piont, max

Will Make Report.
The council completed its sessions
late yesterday and members said
its 65-page report would be made
public some time this week. They
declined to discuss details.
Previously Chairman Arthur j.
Altmeyer disclosed that the Social
Security Board was considering a
proposal to pay old-age assistance
grants to States on q basis of the
economic need Of each State.
Although Chairman Altmeyer
made public no details, it was
understood this would mean that
States least able to meet old-age
assistance payments would receive
more money for that purpose from
the Federal Government than those
most able to pay.
At present. the Government
matches dollar for dollar, up to
SIS, for State old-age assistance
payments. Thus, If State wants
to pay old-age pensions of $50 a
month, it must put up SIS for every
pension paid.
Assistance payments made to
needy persons over 65 years Of age
are intended to bridge the gap be-
tween passage of the Social Sc
curity Act and the beginning of old
age insurance payments. The date
for beginning the latter is fixed
under present law at January /,
1912. but the council has decided
to recommend that it be moved
up to January !. 1910. .,-ss

Peggy Townsend, who will join
the ranks OF social register night
club singers shortly, thinks it's all
right for Washington debutantes
like herself to "go New Yorky"-
II they don't go too far.
There's a movement among Capt.

q little more cafe society,"" like
New York's.
And it's fine, pretty Peggy added,
II Capital debutantes don't get
the idea that toughness makes Tor

1--WE want to keep the things that
makes Washington individual-the
old families, the old houses, the
conservative people" she insisted.
Peggy, tall and slim at "l8 and q
half" will sing twice a night IN
q Washington cocktail lounge, be-
ginning tomorrow, partly because OF
the New Yorky" trend, and partly
because she always liked the idea
Of women getting out and doing
things"
Earlier tomorrow she will mingle
with the Capitals society at the
first Of the famous morning musi-
Gals, sponsored each season by her
aunt. Mrs. Lawrence Townsend.
When Peggy was years old. she
sat on the lap Of Mrs. Calvin Cool
idge at one Of the musicals. She's
been brought up on classical music,
and two months ago began to
study singing-the conventional
kind.
But laryngitis chased her voice
down to the low registers, and scouts
for q new cocktail lounge liked her
throat singing.
Now I think they'd like for me
to stand out by the Potomac River
every night to catch cold" Peggy
laughed.

Peru, host to the Pan-American
Conference now meeting to strength
en- inter-American relations, has
been a substantial buyer Of aircraft
from Italy, and an Italian plant for
assembling planes is situated there.

Peru's capital saw six of the
United States Army's flying fort
