Victor McLaglen Will Punch Somebody, If He Hears Any More On Monkey Glands

actly monkey glands. Their use necessitates an operation and no sawbones ever cuts into Vic. Hahn wouldn't say what the doctor had prescribed.
 Neither would the doctor. He said that was professional secret which he wouldn't break even though Vic did owe him money. Neutral but in- terested parties thought that per- haps McLaglen had been undergo ing a course of hormone injections. These might have done Vic's face some good though any beautifica- tion of the McLaglen facade would be ruinous to the McLaglen income
 As the hours went by and Vic's phone kept ringing, with calls from we'l-w.siners and inquirers after monkey gland treatment. he decided enough was enough. He quit talking 70 anybody.

plunged into the North Sea and two were killed in separate crashes of fighter planes during this mornings blackout test. The death list thus was tentatively placed at IA.
 Commanders of the planes as- signed to simulate an attacking bomber fleet, invading England from the continent, said that their crews spotted an occasional patch of light but that 1t had been impossible to fix Localities so that the planes had only night flying instruments to guide them.
 Factories Screened
 Even biggest factories engaged in all night rearmament were so well screened that pilots could not iden- tify them, and it was found impos- sible to pick out towns which, their instruments told them, they must be passing, aviators reported.
 One squadron of raiding planes, however, swept down on the Ken sington district of Western London and attacked from an altitude of 700 feet.
 This was the height to which bags

 So when Hahn asked him what treatment he had undergone, he said he'd been taking" monkey glands.
 Victor's phone began to ring. The photographers wanted his picture standing beside an ape. Vic, who never had blushed before in his life. turned deep cerise around the ears and confessed that maybe he'd been talking out of turn.
 The idea he'd tried to convey to Attorney Hahn was that he'd been taking treatments for his com" plexion at the recommendation ot Dr. Sonneland and that the trCa'- ments consisted of shots in the arm Vic didn't know what was in the shots. so he just said monkey glands" He certainly was sorry he ever said any such thing. He'd made himself feel fussed--and that's no way to feel when you draw down 42,000 a week for acting tough.
 Attorney Hahn said what the doctor had prescribed was not cx-

 believed that he had planned to steal the car and escape in 1t. But Kline Pratt, fireman, recognized Miss Bolton, held her, summoned police- men who captured Cochran in the street trying to thumb" a ride.
 He confessed, disclosed the place where Miss Dunn's nude body was, and where he had held Miss Bolton prisoner since Monday night, and was then brought here because an angry crowd was gathering in the little town.
 As police reports and inquiries &C., cumulated from many cities, it was learned that Cochran, under one of his many aliases, had been arrested for rape at Columbia, Pa, as long ago as March, 1926. From that and other reports his age was shown to be 34 but he said he was 29.
 Cochran said his fathers name was Goddard; his mothers Ashwell, and that he had adopted his step- fathers name, Cochran.
 Police Reports on Slayer
 Philadelphia: He was sentenced to Huntington reformatory in 1926 for rape; later paroled joined the army, deserted at Presidio, Calif., and was captured in Kansas. State police asked Florida authorities for his fingerprints to ascertain if he is Thomas c. Goddard, suspected as the slayer last December of Margaret Martin at Kingston. She was lured from home with the offer of job and was found in the woods, raped and murdered.
 Denver: He had been arrested last June charged with impersonating a federal treasury agent and given a years suspended sentence. Two sis- ters, Genevieve and Jessie Blake, 23 and 19 years old, said they had met him in Reno, accompanied him to Denver where he promised them jobs. Thurman Hall, the girls said was with them. Cochran, then using the name Sutherland, had met Hall in Reno. From Denver, Cochran took Genevieve Blake to Montana in Halls automobile but was ar- rested and returned to Denver on the impersonaiton charge. Then, put on probation, he worked as a radio script writer and frequented matrimonial agencies, keeping com- pany with many girls.
 Married, Abandoned Wife San Francisco: As Thomas c. Ash- well, he was program director for a San Francisco radio station from 1883 to 1886. He was described as "likeable." He authored several ra- dio skits. He married into a promi- nent family, later abandoned the wife and two children and went to Cincinnati where he said he had a radio job. The wife divorced him. ! Miami: In 1886 he directed a WPA theater project here as Thomas Cochran Ashwell, and failed to pay bill for $115.85 for costumes from H. A. Dixon. Last Wednesday Pres ident Roosevelt signed bill reim- bursting Dixon.

Hollywood, Aug. Il - UPo - Victor McLaglen, the toughest-look- ing gent ever to smash breakaway chair on the hero's head, was a ht- tie coy today on the subject of monkey glands.
 He testified in a deposition that he'd been taking" them, all right but this seemed to have been Me- Laglen wisecrack, and hence mis- take. What he meant was that he'd been taking something, and he did- n't know quite what. for his com- plexion, which always has looked like we'll tanned rhinoceros hide.

 What we need is to bring the diff ferent elements of the Democratic party together and forget our differ ences so that we can have assurance of winning fin 1940.
 T am party man and have aided the president in everything that I possibly could, but it is impossible to agree with any one man on every thing. Any mistakes the president might have made, however, have been on the side of humanity"
 Sen. Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah. said he agreed that "the New Deal has brought about new conditions in our country which must be preserved by those who want to see govern ment in the hands of friends of lib- eralism, rather than in the hands of those who never had faith in it."
 "It's terrifically interesting" said Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo., who declined further comment.

to the 1940 Democratic National vonvention, and to prevent Garner, Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo-, or any other coservative getting the nomination. Clark's only comment was "very iteresting". He indicated he might have more to say later.
 Some Senators recalled MT. Roose- welt bolted the Democratic party once before-when he supported Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 against Judge Alton B. Parker, Democrat.
 "He would have precedent for de- clining to take part in the election of Democrat who will be nomi- mated at the next convention" said Sen. William H. King, D., Utah.
 "There are millions of men and women in this country who still be- lieve in the principles of Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson and who will not follow any fantastic, socialistic schemes fabricated by some who claim to belong to the party but who never were members of it, and some of whom were found in other political parties"
 Not the First Time
 Sen. Josiah w. Bailey, D., N. c. who has voted against the admins tration on almost every issue, said at his North Carolina home:
 "Well, it wouldn't be the first time he bolted. No comment. I won't say anything now"
 Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, commented:
 q said some time ago, in advocat- ing MT. Roosevelt for a third term, that there is only room in this coun- try for two parties-conservative and liberal. The Republicans have pre- empted the conservative party and there is only one place for the Dem ocrats to go. It will have to be Roosevelt in 1940 or someone who will carry on his liberal policies. We've made mistakes, but they've been on the liberal side. If we turn back, we face defeat"

 Thought Millionaire
 Manufacturer was regarded as many times millionaire, alg as one of the most astute bankers of Europe. He was considered an eX- pert in all branches of currency and finance. His charities had been munificent.
 Though he was native German, he began his banking care.s' in Paris.
 The bank was not only one fo the oldest, but was leader in con- tinental underwriting.
 It was founded by son of the 18th century German philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn. Felix MenGsls- sohn, tl,c composer, was a men, ,ber of the same family.
 Originally German, the bank transferred to Amsterdam before the World war, where under Mann heimer's direction, it became during tue German inflationary period the Ia. yest and most powerful of Euro pean underwriting banks.
 It was regarded as having super seded Rothschilds as the leader among state bankers.

 Offered Loan Recently
 Recently Mendelssohn and com- pany led group of continental bankers who offered the Danish na- tionalist government loan of $100,- 100000 provided former Premier Paul Van zeeland of Belgium was permitted to make an economic sur vey of Spain. The offer was dropped because the French and British gov ernments opposed 1t, holding that loan would be premature until Gen Francisco Franco had defined his foreign policy.
