VOLUNTEER POSSE JUST HANGED HIM

Wiggins, Miss, Nov. a. (UP)- Sheriff S. c. Hinton said today that a volunteer posse "just quietly hung" Wilder McGowan, 24, negro suspect ed of having raped 74-year-old white woman.
 There were about 200 men in the posse" he said, and he had been leading them in the search for Mc- Gowan. After few hours, when the bloodhounds were unable to find the trail, the sheriff left the posse and went down to the sawmill to investigate a report that McGowan was working there" he said.
 He said the posse must have found McGowan near his grand mothers house when he was at the Sawmill because when he got back he found the body hanging to a tree. There were no bullets in the body, and no evidences of torture, he said.
 The coroner's jury decided Mo- Gowan died "at the hands of part ies unknown"

Autoists Showing Keener Interest In Historic Spots

The unabated increase of seek CTS for historical and cultural shrines in Connecticut is seen by State Highway Commissioner Will liam J. Cox as major contribut- ing cause to the need for adequate study of Connecticut's traffic con- trol system, according to the State Publicity Commission.
 In the opinion of Commissioner Cox, travel over the Connecticut highways would be greatly facili- tated by a plan designated to pro- vide these innumerable motorists, interested in learning about Con- necticut and its people, with easier access to the object of the hunt.
 The commissioner holds that this element of the motoring pub- lie constitutes large portion of the highway traffic. He divides the remainder into categories of those motoring for business and aiming at out-of-state points.
 AS far as the travellers seeking out the places of interest in Con- necticut are concerned, Commis- sioner Cox believes that the high way system can be relieved per- haps by a schedule of routing which would tighten the load on arteries where traffic is heaviest and take motorists through the beautiful back country.
 To open this field of highway routing would require maybe the full cooperation of municipalities and towns throughout the state, especially where the practice has been to cater strictly to local travel.
 Obviously, State and towns would share in the benefits of the suggested planning with the high- way traffic load lessened and spreading the tourist dollar to sec-' tions heretofore isolated in this connection.

Washington, November g. - (UP) - Indiana friends of Paul V. Me Mutt said today that he would post pone, at least for some time, his resignation as high commissioner of the Philippine Islands. They hinted that he might not resign at all.
 Basis for the change in plans was said to be the recent election and political developments in his own state and the rest of the country.
 McNutt will survey the political situation when he returns early next year for visit, his friends said, but may keep his post at Manila indefinitely if he finds the political horizon foreboding.
 A former governor of Indiana and the "favorite son" of that state for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion in 1940, McNutt has planned for several months to return to Wash ington probably in January. It had been expected, however, that he would resign, after reporting to President Roosevelt on Far Eastern afafirs, in order to begin an active campaign for the 1940 nomination.
 He still plans to return and to re- main for some time for appearances before congressional committee con- sidering Philippine affairs. But 1t was reported that he would retain his position as Philippine commls- sioner until the political skies, clouded for Democrats by recent Re- publican victories, have cleared
 The most important reason for McNutt's change of heart, it was understood, was the status of the Democratic party in Indiana.
 In this months election Demo- crats lost their former secure hold on that state, losing several state posts and reelecting Senator Van Nuys only after close and still contested election.
 That election is said to have inn paired McNutt's "favorite son" as-

Naugatuck, Nov. 22-Women of countries in Europe feel they have lost their basic rights since the state has taken over control, especially in regard to raising of children, and there IS 8 rebelliouS spirit that may be displayed more at some future time than it is now, Mrs. William Dick Sporborg of New York told members of the Nauga- tuck Womens club at meeting in Masonic hall.
 She pointed out the contrast be- tween the feelings of German and Russian women, although they live in totalitarian states. The German women have lost the spirit of brightness and laughter under the new regime but the women of Rus Bia has lost their despondency and have new hope, she said.
 German men believe themselves a little better than their wives, but in Russia the women tell the men where to get off, Mrs. Sporborg said. Conditions in England have made women conservate and in France women are more individual in their lives. In this country, American women actually control the wealth of the nation, and if they wished to they would make democracy work.
 She urged American women to forget about fighting "isms" but to use the energy which would be put into this, for building up democracy. Bitterness is being manifested Ill American life, she warned. People have the right to risagree with others but should not permit per Sonal bitterness to enter into thelr discussions, she asserted. We should fight for causes and ideals in this country, and not against people, she added.
 In speaking of the cooperative movement in Finland and other countries of northern Europe, Mrs. Sporborg said American will have 8 try at this before long. This move ment is mass distribution and is the solution to mass production. She asked her audience to ask legisla- tors to vote for fair trades act to emphasize it's effect on consumers. Mrs. Fredrick Zonino introduced the speaker.
