RECOVERING
Doom From Eye Tumor Is

CHICAGO, May l0.-(UP)-
Six-weeks-old Helaine Judith CO.
Ian apparently was recovering to-
day from an operation which med
ical authorities believed has halt
ed spread nf 9 dread generous
eye growth and paved the way for
them to save at least part of her
vision.
A week ago her parents had
abandoned hope, certain that she
would die or be doomed to life
of blindness. Yesterday her left
eye was removed during a l3-mln-
ute operation which a council of
ten eminent medical specialists,
holding in its hands the power of
life and death, had decreed was
her only chance for life.
Today, DR.. Robert II. Good,
who performed the operation, said
the baby still has the sight of her
right eye. He and pr. Cassium
B. Rogers, brain specialist of the
Garfield Park community hospital,
agreed that there was a good
chance" that at least partial Vi
sion of the remaining eye might
be saved by x-ray or radium treat
mentS.
They said a small tumor al
ready has attacked the eye but
they were hopeful that it could be
treated.

ONLY TWO FOOTPRINTS

The theory that Mccormick was
kidnapped also was discounted
after forest rangers found foot
prints of only two men leading
from the car in which the two
youths went into the mountains.
Governor Clyde Tinsley of New
Mexico returned from Santa Fe
to the scene of the search in the
Cibola National Forest to person
ally direct CCC workers, mountain
climbers and Indians searching
for a trace of the missing youth.
A force Of go CCC enrollees was
withdrawn late yesterday from
the west side of the mountain.
FIND TRAIL
SearcherS reported discovery OF
the trail of the two youths away
from their car toward the noun
tam, but their trail up the side
OF the peak could not oe found.
A unique method of conducting
the search along the face Of the
cliff. at the bottom of which
Whitmer'S body was found, was
suggested by a group Of five eX-
pert cable workers. They offered
to set up winches at the top Of the
|precipice and lower searcherS by
cables.
Expert mountain climbers who
came here from Denver Sunday to
serve in the search expressed the
opinion young Mccormick might
be wandering dazed through the
trackleSS forests surrounding the
peak.
"When a climber gets into =
stretch of bad going, he is under
an intense physical and emo
tional strain" one explained.
mccormick might have been
so Mortified when he saw Whit
mer fall to his death that the
shock may have brought about
a form of amnesia, although it
is highly improbable that he
could have completed such a
difficult climb after such q
shock"
Discovery of the footprints lead

the theory that Mccormick might
have been kidnapped. There were

CLEVELAND, June % I.N.SO.
The city Of Cleveland will con-
duct a huge $5,oO0,0 900 lottery to
raise relief funds-if a council
bloc, headed by Raymond j. Tay-
lor and John M. Novak, has its
way, it appeared today.
Council last night passed legis-
lation, sponsored by the two coun-
cilmen, establishing o five-man
"direct-relief" committee, to work
out plans for a Embarrassing
"show" in public hall or the Lake
front Stadium. Mayor Harold H.
Burton signed the measure i'm
mediately.
Taylor and Novak have been
seeking a way to circumvent Fed
eral and State anti-lottery laws,
in order to conduct a city-oper-
ated lottery. If they are success
full, they indicated, the Show
would take that form.
Tickets, they said. would be sold
for one dollar. On the night of
the "show" a percentage of the re-
ceipts would be distributed to

NOAN4SAAS
Vigorous opposition was regis
tered last night in an open meet
ing called by the Mid City Citizens
Association, in Thomson School,
against the underpass proposed
for 14th Street through Thomas
Circle at Massachusetts Avenue.
In a five.point resolution offered
by Frank B. Hoffman, chairman
of the highway committee, which
was unanimously Endorsed, it was
pointed out construction Of the
underpass would destroy some 90
trees and the widening of the
avenue between Thirteenth and
Fifteenth Streets, % feet on
either side, will mar the beauty
and reduce property values.
CONGESTION REMAINS
Construction of the underpaSs
will not relieve traffic congestion

tended. because facilitating the
flow of traffic at the circle will
cause q jam at Scott Circle and
east of Thirteenth Street.
Copies Of the resolution were or.
dered mailed to Secretary Of the
Interior Ickes and to the District
Commissioners
Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, DiStricL
engineer of highways, stressed the
need for the underpaSs to relieve
q serious traffic situation.
FINNAN OPPOSES PASS
Expressing opposition to any
change at Thomas Circle or any
other circle on esthetic grounds,
C. Marshall Finnan, superintend-
ent of National Capitol Parks, said
the work to be attempted ex-
pressed only one view, that OF

consideration the value Thomas
Circle has played in maintaining
Massachusetts, Avenue as one OF
the most important and attrac-
tive highways.
John Nolan. jr., director OF
planning, National Capitol Park
and Planning Commission, sug-
gested a delay may be advisable
until a more comprehensive plan
for the treatment of all circles
could be studied and adopted.
William A. Van Duzer, Director
Of Traffic, said the proposed
underpaSs would increase by 100
per cent facilities for handling the
traffic at that point.

the arms and chest, a black eye,
and cuts on the ear and top Of the
head.
Dr.. George c. Bicknell, another
Government witness, told the court
that he was called to the Wampler
home on the night of April 20,
where he found Adams was dead.
He was asked to sign a death
certificate, he said, but, on seeing
the body bruises and the evidences
of drinking, he refused to issue the
certificate. He said that when he
arrived at the house at 1890 p. m,
Adams must have been dead five
hours, Rigor mortis was setting
in at the time, he said.
DR.. Bicknell said Adams had
died of a hemorrhage following a
ruptured blood vessel, but he was
unable to testify as to the cause
Of the rupture.

rested at 11:04 a. m, the defense
began its case, with Charles P
Jackson, Marshall Hall store pro
prietor, as its first witness.
Jackson testified that the Wamp.
lers, with Alan Buck, 26-year-old
author Of children'S fairy stories,
who already has told a vivid story
of the drinking party that pre-.
coded the Adams death, came to
his store about 2 p. m. the day of
the tragedy. He said the Wamp-
lers had scratches on their faces.
DR.. James MacKavanath, who
performed another autopsy on
May 20, followed jackson to the
stand.
Both Wampler and his wife will
take the stand in their own de-
tense. There also will be the testi-
mony of two defense doctors, who
are expected to testify that blows
struck in the fight did not cause
the death Of the aged man.

BUCK TESTIFIES
Alan Michael Buck, 26-year-old
author of children's fairy stories,
yesterday told a vivid story of the
drinking party that preceded the
alleged fight.
It started out as a gay celebra.
ton in honor of the WAmplers'
selling some property, he said, and
ended with the fight on the lawn
Of the Wampler home.
They drank a bottle of whisky
at his home, the youthful-lookirlg

and got two more quarts and a
dozen bottles of beer, drinking a
bit more beer while waiting for the
liquor to be wrapped up.

Wamplers was given by Judge

TRIAL JURORS.
STILL UNCHOSEN.
Only IL of 20 Picked
By State, Defense

ARLIN TON COUNTY
COURTHOUSE, Va, June %.
Prosecution and defense in the Ed
win Scheid trial were still at
tempting to agree upon a jury
early this afternoon,
Scheid, suspended Falls Church
policeman, charged with the STAY
ing of Theodore A. Daugherty,
Washington musician, last March
10, sat by his attorneys as the long
task of selecting competent jurors
was progressing slowly.
Under the Virginia law a panel
OF 20 men must be chosen from
the veniremen brought to the
court. These 20 must be agree
able to both sides. When the
20 prospective jurors have been
found the State and the defense
each strike four names, leaving
IL men to try the case. Only
IL of the 20 had been chosen at
an early hour this afternoon.
MANY DISQUALIFIED
scheid's counsel, Frank L. Ball,
and Commonwealth Attorney
Lawrence w. Douglas, the prose
cutor, both maintained strict 81
lence on plans to save or send the
youthful patrolman to the chair
at Richmond.
Difficulty in selecting an un.
biased jury appeared almost as
soon as the first venireman was
called from the crowded court.
room yesterday. Many jurors
were disqualified on the grounds
that they had already formed an
opinion in the case.
In selecting the panel of tenta-
tive jurors, persons living within
q half.mile radius of the scene
of the shooting were disqualified
from sitting. Challenges and
questioning were conducted in
Judge McCarthy's chambers when
it became apparent that question
ing in open court reacted
to further deplete the list Of eli
gtbles for the jury.
PARENTS PRESENT
Scheid's mother and father re-
turned to take seats directly be-
lind their accused son at the coun-
sci table as the trial entered its
second day. Elsewhere in the
courtroom was Mrs. Lillian Daugh-
erty, widow of the slain musician,
and her mother, Mrs. George C.
Frazier, of Falls Church, neigh
Dor of the Scheids.
While Attorney Ball preserved
silence, it was learned that the
defense will base it's case on the
assertion that Daugherty was shot
accidentally when Scheid and a
brother officer, Herbert Knox,
were firing at the tires Of the mu-
Sician'S car in an attempt to halt
it in the 1900 block Of Lee High
way.
FIRED BY SCHEID
BalliStics tests have established
that the bullet which killed
Daugherty was fired from Scheid's
gun, and Knox'S trial as an accom-
plice in the Staying is therefore
contingent upon the outcome Of
this trial.
The State, contending that
Scheid deliberately murdered
Daugherty, will introduce several
witnesses, including relatives of
the deceased, and neighbors who
saw the volley fired into the
musicians car.
Both Scheid and Knox are sus-
pended under bonds of $4,000. If
Scheid is acquitted, the case
against Knox will, in all probable
ity, be dropped.

HUNTER CAPTIVE IN WEI,

JOS. Schoenberg, Jr., of Spring
Hill, and Tony Van Beck, of this
community, enjoyed deer hunting
during the recent season and the
former experienced an unusual adj
venture. For three days Mr..
Schoenberg had been missing some
good shots, and on the fourth day
not to be outdone by the others
went on stand. He saw some
thing move in the brush and shot
1t only to find it porcupine. At
the same time large deer appear
ed, he shot at it and then followed
1t for about eight miles. He came
to an old well and while trying to
get drink dropped his compass
into the well. He climbed down
an old ladder in the well, it broke
and he was unable to get out. He
remained there for twenty-four
hours while his friends were scour-
ing the woods for him. The next
day his friends heard his whistle
and found him in the well in two
feet Of water. This is the story as
Mr.. Van Beck told it, and he adds
that a brush fire is better than sit
ting in well all night.
