sEIFERT, BURDICK RENAMED

Seeing as how Tom Seifert is
about as much a fixture with the
Redwood Falls water department
as the pump house, the Gazette
reporter failed to notice last week
that his unemployment as city
water superintendent was not
mentioned in the council organi-
zation story. F. B. Forbes, city
recorder, also slipped up on the
item. Seifert was reappointed
however, as was Harry Burdick,
caretaker at the sewage disposal
plant.

Each boy signs a safety pledge In
which he promises not to run his
car in such q way as to endanger
his own life, or the lives or safety
of others. Every boy should observe
this pledge, particularly during the
period between the completion Of
his car and the actual running Of
the race. Every entrant will want
to try his car out to see what has
to be done to 1t to improve its per-
formance. Remember, that to try
your racer out on street over
which traffic Is operating will be
violation of your safety pledge" he

Official A. A. A. Equipment
To Clock Soap Box Derby
Same Apparatus Used at Indianapolis Races
And on Utoh SoIt Flats Speed Runs

When boy racers shoot across the
finish line in the second Washington
Soap Box Derby on July 8, their
time will be recorded by the official
timing equipment of the American
Automobile Association.
This is the same equipment used
for professional automobile races on
the Indianapolis Speedway, includ-
ing the Memorial Day classic, and
for speed runs on the salt flats of
Utah.
Washington I. Cleveland, mana
ger of the District branch of the
A. A. A. and one of the sponsors of
the Derby which is being held by
The Star and the American Legion,
today promised use of the official
timing device again this year.
The device consists of three parts.
Two of them are the lamphouse and
the cellhouse, which keep a beam
Of light over the finish line. Each
time the beam is broken as a boy
races by in his coaster car, the CELL
house flashes signal to the record
ing unit, which records the time on
strip of tape. The starting time of
each heat in the Derby will be tele-
phoned to the end of the race course
from the starting point.
This timing is important to every
boy who races in the Derby, be-

Mrs. Bennett 'sCase
Is Restudied by
Prosecutor
Investigate to Determine
Whether to Proceed
Without Ring as Evidence

United States Attorney David A.
Pine today announced his Office is
restudying the case OF Mrs. Eula
Mae Bennett, accused Of trans
porting stolen jewelry in interstate
commerce, in view of the United
States Court of Appeals decision
late yesterday awarding her a new
trial on the ground OF wrongfully
seized evidence.
Mr.. Pine said his associates, As
sistant United States Attorneys
Charles B. Murray and William
Hitz, who tried the case in District
Court against Mrs. Bennett and
her husband, James Bennett, whose
conviction was sustained by the
appellate tribunal, are investigating
to determine whether they think
a conviction can be obtained against
the dancer without the use OF a
diamond ring as evidence. The
ring, belonging to one OF the COM
planning witnesses, was found in
possession of Mrs. Bennett when
she was arrested in hotel near
Fifteenth and L streets NV, as
was other jewelry including wrist
watch, police said. Mr.. Pine in
dicated today the ring would be re-
Quired to prove stolen property
valued at more than $1,000 trans
ported in interstate commerce as
the statute requires.
The Appellate Court reversed the
Mrs. Benefits case. There is
possibility her case may be dropped
If the Government cannot proceed
without the evidence objected to.
Mrs. Bennett was sentenced to
serve one year to 18 months, while
her husband was given from two to
five years.
In amending its opinion late yes
terday, the majority of the United
States Court of Appeals swung
around to the minority opinion, eX-
pressed on February 27 last, in a
dissent by Associate Justice Har-
old M. Stephens, who observed that
the evidence was far too fimsy a
web to hold Eula Mae Bennett" and
declared that she was not only "im-
properly convicted" but also "im-
properly arrested"
The liberty of the citizen should
not be invaded upon mere suspi-
cion," wrote Justice Stephens.

ing event Of its kind in the world"
Mr.. Cleveland said, but it means
more than that. Its major impor-
tance lies in the fact that it fosters
fine spirit Of sportsmanship and
helps in small way to develop the
latent ingenuity which should ger
nit the boys Of today to take their
proper positions of leadership in
the world Of tomorrow.
"A few years back we boys had a
lot of fun in building our own
wagons from scraps of lumber, baby
carriage wheels OF any other wheels
we could find. We made our own
fishing rods, our own kites and more
than a few of us even made our own
baseballs. It was lot of fun and
We thought a lot Of the things we
made" Mr.. Cleveland recalled.
THE modern boy finds that it Is
less trouble and much quicker to
go down to a store and buy the
things he wants instead of building
them. I thoroughly believe that
it is just such activities as the Soap
Box Derby which will encourage the
development Of the qualities of
initiative and resourcefulness which
tend to be minimized by many of
the conditions of modern existence.
THE officials of the Derby have
made every effort to create the at
mosphere Of a real professional
automobile race out at the course on
Derby Day. Repair pits, timing de-
vices and much of the parapher-
MALTA of the big tracks will be used
during the various heats and the
finals in which the city champion
will be determined" said Mr.. Cleve-
land.
"The complete safety Of the
drivers is Of major Importance.

Parent-Teacher
Headquarters Moved

Despite the vigorous protests of
II District delegates, the Conven-
ton of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers yesterday
voted to move it's national head
quarters from Washington to Chi
cago.
The Associated Press reported the
vote at the Cincinnati conclave was
marked by heated debate. The ac-
ton was carried. 275 to 213, after
opponents of the change had
shouted illegal" and "undemo-
cratic"
Before the Washington group left
for the convention last Saturday
they knew the Executive Board of
the congress had approved the
transfer. They hoped that by pre-
senting their case on the floor of
the convention they could maintain
the headquarters here.
Their strongest argument was
clause in a $4,000 trust fund which
provided that should the headquar-
terS be moved from Washington
the fund. earmarked for a national
headquarters here, would revert to
George Washington University for
q parent teacher chair.
Headquarters of the organization
has been in Washington since the
establishment of the congress in
1897.
At national headquarters here, it
was said approximately 20 employees
would be affected by the change
The headquarters spokesman said
one of the factors considered had
been the possibility of paying lower
salaries in Chicago. The fact that
Chicago is more centrally located
also was considered, she said.
Details of the transfer will be
ranged at the post-convention board
meeting Saturday. she explained.
The transfer is expected to be made
during the summer.

Street Cars Rerouted
Temporarily

To alleviate traffic problems that
might arise during the arrival of
the President of Nicaragua tomor-
row morning, the Capital Transit
Co. will temporarily suspend street
car and bus service in the Union
Station area and along Pennsyl-
vania avenue between First and Fiji
teenth street NV.
Street cars and buses normally
entering these sections will be re-

Normal service is expected to be
resumed II o'clock, if not before

E Because two women walking on the Basin Road saw two figures nov ing about on the snowy slopes of Mount Roberts yesterday afternoon shortly before dark and reported their observations to the Fire De- partnent, two volunteers from Ju- 'heau made a needless hike to the top of the mountain in a snowstorm and darkness.

 The searchers faced heavy snow storm near the mountain top and made their entire journey by dark ness, from four in the afternoon un- til eight in the evening. Two flares were fired at the top of the noun tain before the return trip was be- gun and footprints of the two sought for persons found leading down off the mountain.
 Back in Juneau, Banfield and Trip iplette found the missing" parties were two husky High School lads, EOrville and Thomas Osborn, who had only beer. ptarmigan hunting and returned home shortly after dark.

WASHINGTON, Dec H. Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt took note at her news conference today of a rumor that there was rift between herself and Mrs. Paul MeNutt, wife of the Federal Security Administra- tor and a Presidential aspirant
 The First Lady secuted a rumor that was started when she failed to call upon Mrs. McNutt to speak at the White House gridiron widows party on Saturday.
 Instead, Mrs. Roosevelt asked the wife of Governor Stark of Missouri to speak at the party.
 Mrs. Roosevelt said she had not called upon Mrs McNutt because the time was short. She added that Mrs. McNutt would. be one of her guests at musical today, and point ed out that this would hardly be the case if the rumored coldness ex- isted.

 Dimond declared that if the rest of Alaska was as well off this year as the Interior and Westward, where mining is the backbone of industry, the Territory would be prosperous indeed.
