Romany stopped, looking up at

CHAPTEA fiiHTY-TWO
CHOLLY HAD been Oil the air
only a week when Pee Wee Tyler,
having fown home for a weekend
from the private school she attend
ed in New York, saw her picture in
the Chicago Globe.
Startled, she read the caption:
1.-THE air waves welcomed this
new beauty, Cholly O'Neil, pianist,
this week. Miss O'Neil, red-headed,
blue-eyed Irish charmer, will sell
syrup. Another sure fire bet for
television- She halls from Indi-
ana u"
Syrup! That could mean only one
thing. The Hayworths were spon-
soring her. Furiously. Pee Wee
threw the paper away and got up.
If Dove had gone so far as to put
his red-head on the air on her own
program. it looked serious. She had
flown home more to see Dove Hay
worth than anyone else. She want
ed to bring things to an issue.
Mrs. HayWorth was as anxious
as the Tylers for her only son and
Natalie to marry The plump dow
ager positively fawned over her.
The Hayworths hadn't the social
background of the Tyler clan, but
they had lot more money. In fact,
the Tylers were having a terrific
struggle to keep up their end So
cially.
It would be absolutely necessary
for Natalie to marry wealth or
they would be penniless in a few
years. That had been made very
clear to the debutante daughter.
Natalie called Mrs. Hayworth
and got herself invited 10 tea that
afternoon. The Hayworths were in
their penthouse in town for the
winter months. Mrs. Hayworth
greeted Pee Wee with warm affec-
ton.
"Darling!" She kissed the cool
cheek of the young girl. II never
would have forgiven you if you had
come home for the weekend and
hadn't dropped in to see an old
lady"
"Old lady" scoffed Natalie, as a
butler assisted her with her mink
coat. "You positively look shame
fully young. You know you do"
Mrs. Hayworth, with an arm
around Natalie, led her to a chair

Arizonans Shocked
By Graft Charges,
Threats of Action

PHOENIX. Jan. 16. (UP)-State
Auditor Ana Frohmiller rocked the
state capitol today with the an
nouncement she had prepared "a
number" of suits for recovery OF
100000 OF state funds assertedly
misSpent or embeZzled by state en-
ployeS.
Mrs. Frohmiller's charges were
made in a letter TO Gov. r. T.
Jones and were part of an answer
to the governors request for names
of certain state officials whom the
auditor charged with "wanton' use
of state travel funds.
Mrs. Frohmiller charged that
consistently during the last year
she had presented the governor,
the attorney general and the legis-
lature with auditS disclosing every
thing from mere irregularities to
outright embeZzlement of state
funds
Despite these repeated reports,
she said, no action has been TAX
en-"
1T is my intention" her letter
said, ito undertake court action
on all defaults which have been
disclosed in these reports, or which
may be disclosed in the future, and
on which the attorney general does
not choose to sue
"A number of such actions will
probably be filed during the next
two weeks and prosecuted in the
name OF the state and by special

IL Russia, East of Lieska. Jan. II
,UP)--I have entered Russia, un-
challenged. without visa or pass
port.
No credentials were required be-
cause I was accompanied by Fin
nish ski patrol
I have seen very little of Russia
yet-onlv a stretch OF deserted, pri-
mitlvc lorest-ard no Russians. but
have seen their tracks in the
snow and know that they are only
a few miles away. 1t is a lonely
wilderness here, without houses Or
animal life. The only living things
we saw were another small Finnish
patrol. accommodating across the
Russian border.
It has been a strange journey.
The weather was exceptionally cold,
even for this part of the country
and this time of year. The thermo-
meter showed 36.4 degrees below
zero when we left Lieska, travelling
by automobiles former taxicab.
The Finnish countryside was des-
olate. There weren't even any dogs
TO be seen. We passed the ruins OF
villages that the Russians had
burned to the ground in the first
few days of the war. Only the
hearths and chimneyS were LETT
standing. like fingers pointing up
ward.
We passed a bridge where Sappers
were digging a hole for a mine, then
arrived at one of the early battle
fields of the war. The car bounced
over shell and mine holes. Once it
skidded into a ditch when the dri-
yer tried to avoid a hole and it
took the full strength of five of us
to get it back on the road,
Finally the road ended in a snow
rift We talked to the commander
# the front patrol by field tele-
9hone and he told US no Russians
had been seen in the region for
two hours. SO we assumed it was
safe to proceed. The trip was re-
sumed by horSe-draWn sled.

Near the frontier we abandoned
the sled and I reached boundary

f we saw the tracks made by .

men. They had crossed our road
headed north. There had been a
arief battle two days before when
Russian and Finnish ski patrols met
there. The Russians had been beaten

fire. We could see the bullet holes

Crew of Scuttled
Ship Travels West

OGDEN, Utah, Jan. II. (UP)-
Two special trains carrying 5l2
officers and crew members of the
scuttled German liner Columbus
passed through here today en- route
from New York to Angel island,
San Francisco bay.
The pause here was made to allow
Union Pacific engines which had
drawn tne trains from Chicago to
be replaced by Southern Pacific
locomotives for the remainder of the
cross country jaunt.
Railroad men said the Columbus
party was exceedingly well-dis-
ciplined and still following orders
from Captain Daenke." Daenke,
commander of the luxury liner
which he sent to the bottom off
the Atlantic coast rather than sur
render to British war vessel, was
a member Of the party.

Enemy Lands on
California Coast
With Small Force

MONTEREY, Cal, Jan. IT. (UP)
-Outposts of the attacking "black"
army were theoretically entrenched
at two points along the central
California coastline today as the
Jane War"-joint army-navy ex-
ercises-moved toward a decisive
clash of the rival attacking and
defending armies.
The Blacks, led by Major Cen
eral Walter Sweeney, were expected
TO attempt to follow up their theor-
etical advantage within the next
48 hours with an attempt to land
their full force of 1900 soldiers OF
the third division for an invasion
of California.
Unofficial reports set the time of
the big battle" of the maneuvers
for sometime Thursday.
Plane activity intensified as the
war games neared their climax.
Giant planes roared over San Fran
cisco this morning, possibly push
ing to the defense of the city with
its giant bridges, supply stations
and the Mare Island navy yard.
Other planes came in from the
sea, possibly fro.l an aircraft car
rier anchored off the Golden Gate.
Civilians watched what they be-
lieved TO be dog fights. Military
sources were silent on what was
taking place.
The official aircraft warning SER
vice went into action, charting the
movements of planes over the state.
The service, centered in the Pacific
Gas and Electric building in San
Francisco, enlistS forest rangers,
telephone linemen, woodSmen, po-
lice officers and other civilians in
vast network for reporting swift
ly and accurately the presence of
planes in their respective areas.
The reports are co-ordinated and
the plane movements charted IN
electric lights on a huge map in
San Francisco.
The theoretical landing which
marked the actual opening of the
war was effected yesterday.
The first communique of the
maneuvers said the Blacks made
hypothetical landings at Avila,
eight miles south of Point San Luis,
and at Monterey, close to the head
quarters of the definding Blue
army headed by Brigadier General
Henry Burgin.

Osborne kicked him" Johnson said.
Livingston also denied in testi-
mony that he had attacked john
son.
A sensation was created earlier
when Gen. GlasSford, who had been
sent to the Imperial Valley TO med
late farm labor disputes by the
secretary of labor, charged that
Chester Williams, who later became
assistant director of education, was
attempting to make the Imperial
Valley a proving ground for rev.
olutionary activity"
Il couldn't bring this out in my
report of 1884" Gen. Glassford said,
because it might have resulted in
later violence and even bloodshed.
II did find at the time that Will
hams, a member of the American
Civil Liberties union, and group
with him, were attempting to make
the Imperial Valley a proving
ground for revolutionary activity.
Soon afterward Chester Williams
was appointed by the federal gov
ernment and still is an assistant
director of education in the U. S.
department of the interior"
Glassford blamed growers and
shippers for sowing the seeds of
violence by neglecting the workers
and their families and breaking
promises to them. He read a let
ter he had addressed to the grand
jury of Imperial county, vigorously
condemning violations of civil lib
critics in which he said their own
officials took part.
GlaSsford charged that the I'm
perial Valley at that time was a
fertile field for Communistic agi-
tators and that the cannery and
agricultural workers industrial un-
ion, which was organizing the
workers, was led by Communists.
General Glassford said, in his
opinion, solution Of Imperial Val
ley's migratory labor problem was
some sort of government regimen
tation, possibly even a government
operated union.
With quite humber of races
and nationalities, he said, "a gen.
orally low order of intelligence and
poor education, susceptible TO ag-
itators and unable 10 pay dues that
would provide them with reputable
and experienced organizers, the

The dixie runs parallel to the
