VA, LICENSES
TWO OBY'PHONE {

That there's a way around the
three-day wait between the filing
of a marriage license application
and the granting of the license in
Arlington county, Va, was demon
strated by Peg LaCentra, radio
star, and Paul Sternberg, known
on the stage as Paul Stewart, in
a weekend elopement.
They telephoned to Court Clerk
c.. Benjamin Laycock from New
York and over the wire filed their
application for the marriage
license.
Commonwealth's Attorney Law.
renee Douglas said this procedure
was perfectly proper, but added
it rested in the discretion of the
clerk of the court whether he
would accept an application by
telephone. Laycock said he saw
no objection to the telephone
order in the particular case and
added he would judge each fu-
Sure application on the merits of
the case.
Eloping from New York, the
radio star and the actor went to
Arlington courthouse, Saturday,
got the marriage license and
went across the streets to the Of
flee of Byran Gordon, civil mar
riage officer, who tied the knot.

TWO BOYS HELD
IN So MURDER

CARROLLTON, Mo-, Jan. Is
G.N.S..-Two boys from the State
Children's Home were under arrest
today, having admitted, according
to police, that they killed a IL
year-old farmer in a SO holdup.
Oliver Hammond, 16, and Cleo
Ramsey, IS, were taken into Gus
tody for the Staying of j. w.
Bricken, whose bound body, with
two bullet wounds, was found Fri
day under a bed in his home at
Lection, Mo.
"He wouldn't raise his hands,
so I just shot him." the older
boy was quoted by officers.
Five 81 bills were found in the
lining of Ramsey's cap, all the
pair had left Of the loot, police
said.
The boys were arrested at a
private home near Carrollton,
where they had been placed by
officials of the children's home,
following their return late Satur-
day after running away to "go
west" Ramsey had worked for
Bricken three years ago.

Daughtr Molly SdI Lacks Dress for Austin Fee:
Texas Crooner-G Governor Off for INAUGURAL

FORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. 16 QN.S.).-A
caravan of seven cars, police escort and all,
left Fort Worth today to take the next gov
ernor of Texas to the capital for the largest
inaugural in the history of the Lone Star State
Leading the caravan was Governorelect w. Lee
O'Daniel, the man who astounded his opponents
with his hillbilly band and radio personality. He
will be inaugurated tomorrow in the huge football
stadium at the University of Texas.
Accompanying ODaniel was his family including
daughter Molly, who was still worrying whether
she will receive her new inaugural dress" on time
A number of relatives from Kansas and Colorado
also went to Austin in the caravan.
Yesterday, O'Daniel, in his last regular Sunday
radio speech from Forth Worth, for two years at
least, again failed to answer question anxiously
awaited by the entire state.
On that matter chow to pay off oldage pensions
to all over 65) tomorrows governor has politely
turned aside all questions
AS the caravan left Fort Worth, ODaniel took

ing in front of it, and a bus from which he made
virtually all Of his campaign addresses.

rapher might wear and apply for
the license at Staten Island under
her correct name, Brigita Hartwig.
This was enough to fool even
Thomas j. Barry, the deputy city
clerk. The only outsider except
the witnesses who knew about it
was Walter Winchell, and he was
pledged to an excruciating secrecy
which he did not violate.
Announcement of the nuptials
was delayed while the junior Fair

called to Florida by business. He

POLICE DEFEND
SUSPECT RAIDS
AS JUSTIFIABLE.
Lawyers Guild Is Told
'Roundups' Are Routine

Police officials today denied they
we're violating the guarantees Of
the Fourth Amendment in round
ing up holdup suspects as charged
by the District chapter of the Ma
tional Lawyers Guild yesterday.
Specifically mentioning a gen.
eral roundup of nearly 100 sus-
poets from poolrooms and beer
parlors on January 10, Lawrence
Koeningsberger, chairman of the
committee on civil rights Of the
Lawyers Guild, lodged the protest
with the police, declaring the ar.
rests of suspects without war
rants and a reasonable ground for
suspicion" to be "lawless conduct"
KECK UPHOLDS RAIDS
Police officials described these
roundups as a routine practice,
and Capt. Ira Keck, assistant chief
of detectives, declared his men
would continue to raid every pool
room and other establishment
where suspicious characters" were
known to hang out.
Pointing out that the Police
Department is criticized because
of the amount of crime in Wash
ington, Captain Keck declared
"and now we are being criticized
for trying to halt it,"
HARASSMENT CAMPAIGN

without good reason and when
we find they are innocent, they
are Immediately released. The

come here from other cities.
Although they have no work

be if the courts held that the

MRS. LEEDS A FRIEND
The mystery has had many
ramifications in the 10 years since
the princess bobbed up to make
her claim. She was befr1ended on
her arrival in New York by Mrs.
william B. Leeds, the former
Princess Xenia, of Greece, and
while she was in the United States
some relatives of the Gear said
she was an impostor and others
supported her claim.
Difficulties rose to check Ana
stasia's claim to the fortune, be-
cause other CzariSt relatives said
they wanted some of the money.
Scientific studies were made,
with varying results.
But in 1892, a story came out
of Paris that the princess" had

Nothing more developed until
1885, when it was said that the

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The mys-

It was reported that the British
courts may approve her claim to
be the only surviving daughter OF
the Car of all Russias, who was
slain with his family in a small
cabin at Ekaterinburg in 1918.
RESCUED, SHE CLAIMS
Some say she is and some say
she isn't-the daughter Of the Car
whom the Soviets executed. She
says she was taken alive, but sorely
wounded, from the pile Of bodies
that was the Imperial family OF
Russia.
She claims in courts in London,
New York and Paris that young
Soviet soldier rescued her, that she
married him, that he was then
slain in Rumania, and now after
almost 81 years, she wants the

years afterward-the captain OF
the Tenth Precinct.
40 YEARS OLD
Captain Truscott, sworn in to-
day by Major Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, is only
40 years old. No other man in the
annals Of the District force, which
was established in its present form
in 1865, has ever held his rank
at SO youthful an age.
Slim, dapper in appearance,
Captain Truscott was for years
the ace investigator at police head
quarters. He modestly ascribes
his rise to the chances given him
to probe crime.
USES HEAD ~
From his first detective case" !"
the solving of the theft of an auto
mobile in 1926, to the solving of
the mistaken murder of Allen B.
Wilson, Captain Truscott has used
his head rather than his hands to
capture and convict criminals.
The officer declared today he
prefers inside detective work" to
the cracking of skulls INDUCED in
by the old-time law enforcement
man. He explained:
"I don't hit men over the
head. That is the refuge of a
lazy policeman. In effect, that
type of officer tells the alleged
criminal that he is inferior to
the suspect in mentality. It is
much better to prove to your
quarry that you have a strong
intellect"
LIKE PUZZLES
Solving a case, he says, is like
solving a jigsaw puzzle.
"You may have one piece in
a corner and another in the
middle. You've got to fit them
together with other pieces.
His toughest case" was solved
in his way. This was the IA
nous Wilson murder-the killing
of an innocent Washington Her
aid circulation route agent, who
was shot by gangsters under the
mistaken impression that they
were killing Edward CMickey) Nc
Donald, District sportsman.

WPA JOBSLOST,
500 STORM D, C.
RELIEF OFFICE
Street Sees Remote
Help For Aged

Topped from jobs on the District
WPA, more than 600 elderly per-
sons and women with dependent
children stormed Public Assistance
Division headquarters today in
fruitless search for immediate re-
lief.
The applicants included 234 per-
sons over IS years of age and $50
women upon whom two or more
children depend. They lost their
WPA jobs here January l when
Administrator F. C.. Harrington
ruled those eligible for Social Sc
curity grants must obtain their re-
lief from funds of that source.
Accordingly, the elderly persons
are seeking old age assistance
while the women are seeking aid
to dependent children.
''MAKING NO HEADWAY"
Welfare Director Elwood Street
held out little hope for immediate
alienation under either category
He stated:
"The public assistance division
with it's staff twice overloaded
will handle the applications Of
these people as rapidly as posi-
BILE. We must take them in
order. Nothing can be done until
the individual cases are investi-
gated. "
Street admitted the public as
sistance division was making no
headway" with applications for
old-age assistance. He said the in
take workers were "swamped"
under an average case load of 100
apiece even before the flood of new
applications descended. Every
seat in the reception rooms, 400
block Indiana Ave. N. W., was occu-
pied, he said, when headquarters
was ready to close last week.
PAYLESS FURLOUGHS SEEN
Inability to cope with what he
described as "a very serious Situa-
ton" was laid by Street to the
deficiency of personnel resulting
from curtailment Of appropria-
tionS. Even now, he said, the
staff has more members than were
provided for in the appropriation
and this may mean more payless
furloughs before the current year
is out.
"And yet" Street added, "our
department has been criticized
recently for instances of alleged
'chiSeling' and misrepresenta-
tionS Ly relief clients"
The director was referring to a
report published by Burdette G..
Lewis, a special investigator, for
whom Congress earmarked $40, 900
to probe the administration of re-
lief here. In it, Lewis charged
failure of the Public Assistance
Division staff properly to investi-
gate individual cases permitted
chiSeling to flourish on relief rolls.
