British Bombers
Fly Over Berlin.
Come Back Safely

LONDON, Oct. 25. CUP)-British
Royal Air Force planes flew over
Berlin, Magdenburg and Hamburg
last night while Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, Nazi foreign minister, was
speaking at Danzig, the evening
news said today on official au-
thority. All returned safely.
The newspaper said that the
Hamburg radio station stopped
broadcasting the speech while the
British planes were overhead.
The air ministry had announced
that British planes flew over the
cities mentioned last night.
Reports circulated in high quar-
ters here said that the RAF flight
caused enormous" numbers OF
Germans to 60 to the air raid
shelters, thereby interrupting thous-
ands who were listening to Ribben-
trop's speech.
The RAF flight was the deepest
penetration yet made over Ger
many. Over Magdeburg, they were
within bombing distance of a
branch of the great Krupp arma-
ment works.

: RunOfS JndJ UIle escape llldy
have been a so-called inside" job
were heard here today.
Hundreds of peace officers, in
cluding highway patrolmen. sher-
ifs deputies and Phoenix police
men. we're on the trail of the blonde
murderess, who in 1881 shot Anne
Ieroi and Hedvig Samuelson, her
"best" friends, stuffed their bodies
in a trunk, and shipped the trunk
to Los Angeles
First clew to the disappearance
of Mrs. Judd came when Sheriff
Lon Jordan learned she had pop
ped in at the home of her parents
in Phoenix about last midnight.
The distraught parents, Rev. and
Mrs. H. j. McKinnell, have lived
quietly in Phoenix since their
daughter entered the asylum.
THE parents told me that she
came into their home at midnight"
Sheriff Jordan said "She left a
letter With them for Governor Rob-
ert T. jones'
The sheriff said the parents told
him they begged Mrs. Judd to stay
with them while they notified au-
thorities, but that she had refused.
They said she stayed Is min
utes and then left, apparently on
foot" the sheriff said. He added
that the parents did not notify
authorities that their daughter had
escaped from the institution.
Announcement of the escape OF
the notorious slayer, who escaped
the gallows on an insanity plea,
was made at the office of Cover
nor Robert T. Jones at noon. Her
escape was discovered at the his
pital at $50 am.
| The announcement said Mrs.
Judd apparently had gone out OF
a window after arranging dunn
my in her bed. Her escape was not
noticed until this morning, it was
said, several inspections during the
night indicating she was asleep on
her cot.
She evidently got good start"
was Sheriff Jordans' comment He
said no early clew indicated she
had an accomplice, or that some
one met her with an automobile.
1t was believed at the hospital
that Mrs. Judd either would head
for the nearby Mexican border, or
for Los Angeles, to which place
she fled after her original crime.
At the time of the double mur-
der, Mrs. Judds husband, DR.. Will
liam Judd, was living in Los An

Kinnell, was university student

attorney, continuing discussion OF
the probable reaction of Proposition
One in the event of its success at
the polls Nov. 7.
Some of the cities might run
as long as year on cash reserves.
Others would probably be forced
to suspend operations much sooner
because they are dependent upon
autumn tax receipts. An income
suddenly turned from cash to war;
rants would be catastrophe" he
said.
TUESDAY Roberts explained that
cities MUST accept warrants in
payment of taxes and services. This
is included in the 3O-Thursday act.)
According to all indications,
cities would have difficulty in dis
posing of warrants paid in for taxes.
Many merchants already have said
they would not accept them.
valley cities all carry indebted
ness payable only in legal tender,
and city treasures filled with war;
rants alone would mean default
upon bonds" Roberts continued.
Expectation that at least a major
part of the city income would ap-
pear in warrants was based upon
the fact that merchants would
accepts only as many warrants as
required for tax payment. Author
tiles were convinced that warrants,
probably quite soon, would sell at a
heavy discount, thus enabling a
taxpayer to buy them up for less
than face value and pay to city
governments at full face value.
Thus the cities would be left
holding the sack. A sack full OF
warrants.

Nazi Newspapers

BERLIN, Oct. 25. CUP)-The Nazi
press today interpreted foreign min

Danzig address as the German dec
laration of war against Great Bri-
tain and hinted that the time had
come to subject the British Isles to
merciless bombardment from the
air.
The National Zeitung, a newspa-
per close to Marshall Hermann
Goering, commander of the Ger

Life and Death of a Hat

Life and Death of Hat
When Ralph Cummings, coach of
the Brawley "B' football squad,
ambled up the sidelines during the
first quarter of his teams game
with the Calipatria "B" team he
was wearing what appeared to be
new hat. During the next hour of
play that hat aged like fire chief
in HadeS.
During the second quarter, what
with being taken off and put on
so many times, the hat grew frayed
edges until it would have passed
for Daniel Boones helmet. Ner-
vously fingered during the third
quarter while Ralph clomped back
and forth watching his team the
hat took on distinct similarity to
battered bucket.
In the final quarter the hat
could have passed for a relic of
Civil War days and ended the eve
ming a dead ringer for popped
balloon.
Given cigar in his mouth Ralph
could have passed for one of the
Marx brothers. But who wants to
do that?
All Quiet
At San Francisco, Mrs. Ray Hig-
ginbotham was selected for one of
the long distance telephone calls
provided by the fair. She elected to
call her mother-in-law, Mrs. r. F..

was caring for nine-mOnthS-old
Ray jr., to inquire after the child's
health.
