Primrose Path
Ends in Suicide
for Phyboy.

PALM BEACH. Fla, Dec. 81
- up - The life of Byron d.
Chandler, made glittering in his
days as Broadway's million dol
lar kid" ended here yesterday.
A justice of the peace said it
was suicide.
The body of the 62-year-old
man who squandered two mil
lion dollars along the primrose
path in a spendthrift career
that began in the early l900's
was found yesterday floating in
Lake Worth. There was a bullet
wound in the chest.
Justice of the Peace T. H.
Richards, who said Chandler had
shot himself, deemed an inquest
unnecessary. Police Chief L. o.
Ecklund said the shooting ap-
parently took place on dock at
Chambers Palm Beach estate, A
newsboy discovered it.
Chandler was said to have
been respondent because of i'll
health and a conviction at Mi
ami last year on a charge of
sending a lewd letter through
the mails. He was fined $1,000
and given suspended sentence
of year and day.
Chandler was married four
times, each wife an actress and
each marriage ending in divorce.
His fourth marital venture was
with Betty Jean West of Vim
cennes, Ind, who divorced him
last February at West Palm
Beach. Funeral plans were de-
layed pending her arrival from
Hollywood, Calf.
He was born at Nashua, N. H.,
in 1879 of a banking family and
inherited a million dollars from
his father and another million
from his grandfather. At %,
fresh from H rvard, with
charming manner and infectious
smile. he burst upon Broadway.
His antics were spectacular.
The first year he married
Grace Stecher, concert singer,
and seven years after a London
divorce paved the way for his
marriage to Grace La Rue, an
crtess with a lavish wardrobe of
gowns considered daring in that
day. They were divorced in
1919, and Chandler announced
at the time that only $4,000 re-
manned of his double fortune.
His third wife was Luella
Gear, another actress, who di-
vorced him in 1924. Five years
later he married Miss West.

Body in Trunk

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Dec. 81
-(U.p)-An eight state search
was underway today for a man
in a New York registered auto
mobile who opened the cars
trunk and displayed the body
of small boy TO a filling sta
ton attendant in an effort 10 get
gasoline.
State police said the man stop
ped at Coventry Saturday and
demanded gasoline from a filling
station operator, because I'm
making an emergency trip to
Massachusetts,"
The filling station operator
heSitated about selling the fuel
because of the OPA ban and the
motorist then opened the trunk
of his car, displaying the body.
The attendant, police said, was
too frightened to argue and filled
the tank. He jotted down the Ii
cense number and noted that the
gasoline ration coupons had not
been issued for that car.
Police said the attendant was
not sure of the age of the boy
whose body was crumpled up in
the trunk.
There was possibility, they
said, that the body might have
been that of Malcolm Harris, Jr.,
7-year-old Cambridge, Mass,
boy who disappeared while en-
route to see Santa Claus nine
days ago.

to President Roosevelt, reported to
the President today on arrange
ments he believes will assure a
more equitable" distribution of

left the White House that he had
reported to Mr. Roosevelt on recent

officials which had convinced him

out fair arrangement.
He explained that this will involve
geographical ALLEGATION of contracts
on the basis of the heaviest concen-
tratlons of the industry, ending
discrimination" against some CEN
ters.
AS an example of the asserted dis
elimination, Mr.. Hillman cited a
recent contract for 10000 officers
uniforms, He said SO per cent of the
contract was given to 4 per cent of
the better clothing industry In this
| connection, he said New York City,
Chicago and Rochester, N Y, each

ment being worked out for more

u. 5. Seeks Definition
OF Necessary Farmer
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Selective Service System and
the Agriculture Department are en-
deavoring to define just what is a
necessary farmer and therefore one
eligible for draft deferment.
This was stated by Maj. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, director of Sc
lective service, in replying to a re-
quest by Senator Norris, inde-
pendent, of Nebraska that local
draft boards be instructed to defer
necessary men, on the farm.
Gen. Hershey, in a letter made
public by Senator Norris office to-
day, said:
Because of the rapidly increasing
demands of armed forces for man
power and because of restraints of
the law prohibiting group defer
ments. it is obviously necessary that
agricultural workers continue to be
considered for induction.
In order to minimize to the great
est possible degree the impact of
Sucu lIlouCtlOnS upon tne agrlcul-
tural situation, we are working in
closest cooperation with the Depart
ment of Agriculture to the end that
qualifications of man necessary to
the agricultural program can be de-
fined and essential activities within
agriculture be specified.
1t is expected that complete pre-
liminary information will soon be
provided by the Agriculture Depart
ment relative to agricultural prod
ucts of critical Importance, as we'll
as to localities in which pronounced
labor shortages are known to exist
Under existing law ample au-
thority exists for deferment of
necessary men engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits"

over his policy of supplying French
labor for Germany's war factories,
Laval declared that the same element
which was responsible for our mis-
fortunes" had become now the most
obstinate adversaries' of his policy.
Cannot Remain Passive.
He declared his plan was the only
one which can assure the saliva
ton of our country and which allows
me to obtain the best peace pos
sible."
When he appealed months ago to
Frenchmen to work in Germany, he
said, Il did not worry whether my
words would hurt the feelings of

made an agreement with Germany

Psychiatrist Urges Use
Of Convicts in Army
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ASHEVILLE, N. c., Oct. 20.-Dr.
Ralph S. Banay, psychiatrist of New
York's Sing Sing Prison, told the
72d Congress of Correction here
today that the presence of convicts
in the armed forces not only would
not harm morale but, if wisely
handled, would improve it.
In a prepared address on the
subject, Would the Induction of
Prisoners Affect the Morale of the
Armed Forces?" DR.. Manay said:
would the general morale of the
armed forces be lowered by the
presence of prisoners in the ranks?
Morale is a state of mind with
reference to zeal, confidence and
courage. A planned educational
program of very simple proportions
would serve to stimulate regular Sc
lectees to accept these men in the
proper spirit and to encourage the
prisoners not to project their own
defensive attitudes in the new situa-
ton. Such dual approach, prop
erly introduced, would actually in
crease and improve the tolerance
and morale and understanding OF
the group"
