fUP) - Wilhelm Jak0b Muhlen-
broich, kidnaper of three e-year-old
Marc de Tristan. jr., will be SEM
fenced to life Imprisonment Friday,
but San Mateo county authorities
expressed the belief that he would
be eligible to apply for parole after
serving seven years.
Superior Judge Maxwell McNutt
and District Attorney Gilbert Fer
rell interpreted the California kid
mapping act as offering possibility
of parole when the victim is not
harmed. The child, son of a wealthy
Hillsborough family, was kidnapped
for 100000 ransom on Sept. 20 but
was returned safely to his parents
after Muhlenbroich was captured
two days later.
John Gee Clark, chairman of the
state parole board, sxid the board
seldom considers parole of lifers
until they have served at least 10
years. He said the average life"
sentence is Is to IL years.
Muhlenbroich. 40 year old Ger

term in San Quentin, but the San
Mateo superior court was proceed
ing cautiously to avoid possible ap-
peals. He was to, have pleaded on
Monday, but a "a hour postpone
ment was ordered to secure attorneys
for him. Yesterday he pleaded guilty,
but Judge McNutt refused to pass
sentence immediately, citing a sec
ton of the law that provides that
sentence shall be pronounced not
less than two or more than five days
from the time of the pleading.

CIVIL SERVICE
REQUIRED FOR
WORK

A federal ruling that state well
fare agencies must put social
workers under civil service was
discussed at meeting of county
commissioners and executive sec
retaries of welfare boards from 20
counties at the Redwood county
courthouse last Thursday.
Walter Finke, director of the
81 sta division of social welfare,
explained the amendment to the
federal social security act which
becomes effective this year.
There was some objection to
the law from commissioners who
would like to employ local girls,
particularly for stenographic
work and it is believed that a
plan to get civil service lists OF
local girls for stenography can be
worked out. Several candidates
for investigators will be present
ed to commissioners and they can
choose from a list of -top-ranking
welfare workers, Finke said.
Present members of the welfare
staff will be blanketed in if they
have the minimum qualifications
required.
The Redwood Falls meeting
was the first of five being held
throughout the state.

Relatives After Neevs Story

The missing heir sought in
Redwood Falls by Long Prairie
lawyer last week has been located
and notified of her right to a
share in an estate.
She is Mrs. Clarence Gunderson
of Cambridge, Wisconsin.
A daughter of H. S. Pettis of
North Redwood, she is the former
Edith Pettis. Her first three mar
riages were to men named Hin
richs, Kruger and Christensen.
Her sister, Mrs. John Messer of
Olivia, was in Redwood Falls Sat-
Erday with her eight-year-old
daughter who had an appendix
operation hero. last .week-~,M Mrs.
Mayo Fischer, former Olivia resi-
dent, met Mrs. Messer on the
street and told her of the Red
wood Gazette story of an attor-
ney's attempt to locate Mrs. Gun
derSon.
So Mrs Messer wrote her older
sister Saturday afternoon, enclos-
ing the clipping and sent another
letter to A. H. Hendrickson, Long
Prairie lawyer who is settling an
estate in which Mrs. Messer is an
heir. He did not divulge details of
the case or the amount Mrs. Gun
derson will receive.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gunderson live on
a 40 acre farm on which tobacco
is the principal crop. Work on the
place is hard and Mrs. Gunderson
can use any money coming to her
very nicely, Mrs. Messer says.
Two other sisters also wrote the
attorney.

Eleanor's Last Name Turns

Loses Third Term Argument

Referring to Mr.. Freyer's state
ment that the subject had caused
q Juror, Mr.. Macs said, Il must
confess that this subject had me
fooled, too. l thought it meant
Eleanor Powell"
He drew a hypothetical exam
pie of a school teacher and min
lister planning to marry and
pointed out that the school boards
represent. the best element in the
city.
''The school board says, resign
if you marry. If the teacher
thinks more of her pay check
than she does of the minister, she
doesn't resign.
Eleanor should be retired from
her job and help her husband in
the ministry" he concluded.
Mr.. Freyer continued the mega
tive argument with the statement
1.-TWO terms for anyone, anywhere
should be plenty"
The judges, Mrs. Mae Hegge,
Mrs. William Swigart and w. R.
Roberts were overwhelmed with
the Maes-Freyer oratory, decided
that Eleanor should not have an
other term.
