time, find something else to do to
tide you over the dull season.

parents and all went well for the
first evening, the parents forgiv-
ing the secret romance and bless
ing their future union. A few days
after the boys first visit to our
heroine's home, very valuable
brooch disappeared from off the
buffet, where the mother had care
lessly placed it. The disappearance
of the brooch was passed off as a
loss to carelessness and no blame
was put on anyone. The next Sun
day our hero was invited to dinner
and that evening after his depart
ure, papa's (yeah, the pass pipe
and tobacco pouch were missed.
Well, then everyone began to won
der, especially about the fiance's
honesty. So the story went on
with various articles missing from
time to time; such as two tooth
brushes from the bathroom, one
electric iron from the kitchen and
any number of books. The value of
the articles seemed to be of no con-
sequence. One day our heroine
could stand it no longer so she
came out with her thoughts to her
fance. He stammered, hemmed and
hawed and at last told her some
thing that he said he knew she'd
find out sooner or later-that he is
kleptomaniac and has been such
since a child.
Problem: Shall she continue 60
ing with him or shall she call the
whole thing off? Is it possible that
she may be the one who can cure
him of this curse? What would
you do?
So, folks, 1 hope you are pro-
crossing rapidly with your Xmas
shopping. With the fondest of ev-
erything to you,
Your pal,

PUPIL TRIES TO
 KILL TEACHER
lis Twin Sister, Thirteen, Had Failed to Gain Her
 Promotion

New York, March 15--(UP)-Vito Cambino, 13 year old schoolboy, hr0oded for weeks about the failure of his twin sister to be promoted rom grade 5B at Brooklyn public school.
 In the interval since last January 1lis resentment against Miss Marie .Schretzlmeier, his sisters teacher, grew to such stage of wrath that ne began to plot vengeance.
 z That was the background of the Iase detectives presented today in Charging the youth with an attempt on her life. They said that on last "Wednesday he went to the roof of his home and fired one shot from a pistol mot the apartment of Miss Schretzlmeier, who lives across the street. The bullet just miss Miss Schretzlmeier's mother, who was asleep, shattered a window and Ddged in a wall.
 . After two days of investigation, police made the arrest yesterday. : "She didn't promote my sister" fhe boy sobbed when questioned. After a hearing in children's court, he was sent to the observation ward of Bellevue hospital. His case comes up April 5.
 < Detectives caught the youth by Tracing the angle of the shot and coming to the conclusion that it had been fired from a roof across the xtreet. Questioning of occupants of That house at first was fruitless. Yes- 1erday, however, detectives for the Arst time came across Vito, who was nuaking with fear. Asked what he iEas doing on the roof, the boy said He was flying his model airplane.

Continued from Page D advised the American people to vio- late the law and holds himself out as the one person who will not answer the two income questions when he knows full well that an answer would be unnecessary since the enumerator would know that he earns more than $5,000 and that the only answer necessary would be that he earns '$5,000 plus a year.
 These questions, endorsed and requested by a wide range of citi- zens and organizations, would de- velop the same basic statistics about low income groups as now is availa- ble about higher income groups through the treasury.
 "There is wide need for these statistics to develop information on mass buying power and unemploy- ment."
 Vital Information
 Early said that there is no com- mon denominator of information on the income conditions of millions of part time workers and unemployed persons whose salaries fall in the lower brackets and that the census questionnaire offered the only means of ascertaining this vital informa- tion.
 Objectors in both houses still were determined to place Congress either on record against the questions or to eliminate the penalties for fail- ure co answer them.
 Rep. Daniel A. Reed, R., N. Y, summed up the opposition's views by saying that Hopkins new regu- lations doesn't change the situa- tion. It is simply an evasion of the law"
 Hopkins last night ruled that in- dividuals who do not wish to give their answers on income to the cen- sus-taker may write their answers on blank, place it in Q franked envelope, without signing their names, seal it, and give it to the enumerator who will mail it to Washington.
 Income Questions Vital
 He repeated administration con- tentions that the income questions are vital.
 q feel, however, that threats voiced by cetrain public oflcials in high places not to answer these in- come queries may have instilled a similar reluctance among some o1 our citizens" he said.
 | The reference was to Sen. Charles w. Tobey. R., N. H., who said he woud go to jail rather than answer the income questions. Tobey is au. thor of a resolution to place the Senate on record as opposed tc questions of a personal nature.
 Hopkins said he also respected "the sincere and honest felings oi some people against giving this Gins come. information to enumeratori who might be acquaintances oI neighbors."
 Besides his indirect criticism oi Tobey's attitude. Hopkins declared that the Congressional controversy over the questions "now threatens to impair the efficacy of the entire population census"

Former Local Singer Given
 $25,OOO Job!

Merritt E. Tompkins, Waterbury native, yesterday took over his new post as head of the Broadcast Mu- sic Inc. at a salary of $25,OO0 8 year.
 In an interview with the New York Daily Mirror, MT. Tompkins said he played basketball and foot ball in the Waterbury high school teams" and I was the lousiest ball player, but I could hit, so I was on the baseball team too."

He said he realized you have to be damn good sing CT to make a living" so he gave up singing and got a job as order clerk with a music publisher, G. Schirmer, eventually becoming general manager.
 In 1929 he took over the job of running Associated Music Pulp fishers. He served four years as an ASCAP board chairman.
 Tompkins has two daughters, one playing the lead in the Seal Test Radio program, the other a ballet-dancer.

Dallas Texas, March IS - (U.P0 Police planned today to charge Jewell Pitts, 27, stenographer, with malicious mischief. It was the only charge they could think of for woman who insist upon taking of her clothes in public.
 Miss Pitts was wearing her birth day suit in her cell in the womens section of the city prison as form of protest against her incarceration and against Columbia Pictures, Inc, which fired her nine years ago.
 Miss Pitts threw an ash can through the front window of the company's office yesterday and en- tered through the jagged glass. En- ployes put her into the can and called police. When they arrived, she was screaming: T work here. I want my job back"
 Office Manager Jack Underwood said she had been discharged nine years ago and two policemen under otok to lead her away. There was 8

Chamberlain's War Of Leaflets
 Brings Attacks On Home Front

front yard a British leaflet even though he dare not read it, he knows that Maxi leaders have lied to him in minimizing Che ability of the British air force. If he lives in Berlin, he knows enemy air- craft have flown 800 miles over German territory to act as post men for those leaflets.
 ?. When there is no report of these British aircraft being brought down, he begins to doubt GOering's boast that Germany's defense against enemy bOmbers is impreg- nable.
 3. The German knows that if the Nazls begin bombing British or French cities, the enemy can make terrible reprisals. He can easily figure that the same aircraft which dropped harmless leaflets can drop death dealing bombs.
 Particularly upsetting is the fact that in their last night flight ovel Berlin the cheeky British airmer dropped their calling cards in ths shape of flares, so that all the Nazi. in Unter den Linden and Wilhelm. strasse, where Hitler lives, would bt sure to know they had visitors.
 All this being SO, neither the spoken eloquence of some potent members of the House of Commons nor the powerful writings of a cele. brated novelist will move the British cabinet to change its policy.
 The word remains: No bombing of German cities as long as the Nazis don't start anything of that kind.

 When he had recovered from the first shock, Rosemarin said a pass enger, unknown to him, went ber- serk during sightseeing trip, jamnned his knee against one set of the dual control to throw the plane into spin over one of the most congested parts of New York, screamed incoherently as they fell and pummeled the pilot who was trying to avert disaster.

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 London, March 15-Here in war time Britain-where great pride is taken in the successful flights over Germany by the Royal Air Force there are those in parliamentary and literary circles who are corn- blaming because the planes do not drop bombs instead of leaflets.
 This has had no effect umpon the Chamberlain government. The pow CTS that be are well satisfied. If there is to be any bombing of cities, they are not going to start it.
 They are pleased when Hitler roars at one of his nd-picked audiences that he does not mind the British dropping their "idiotic pam phlets" around.
 GESTAPO FORBIDS
 READING LEAFLETS
 Britain knows he does mind, or else he would not yelp about 1t. She also knows he minds, because his Gestapo hangs over the head of every German the threat of death or imprisonment for reading British leaflets, passing them along to neighbor or discussing them.
 By making these flights, the young R. A. P. sky warriors become fa- miliar with air routes that lead to German cities. They obtain locations of the most dangerous German anti aircraft guns and searchlights. WALL OF PROPAGANDA

 Germany is surrounded by Chi nese wall. The German people read in their papers only what the gov ernment would have them read. They hear on the radio only what the Nazis want them to hear.
