Gloucester Man
 Growing Coffee?

Boston, Oct. 27. (UP)-A GIou- cester mans claim that he has grown coffee successfully in his backyard was to be investigated today by a New England Council official.

 Agricultural authorities here, however, said coffee could not be grown outdoors any nearer Glou- cester than Puerto Rico; and that even by using a greenhouse, at least 10 years would be required to produce coffee beans.

AUDIENCE LEAVES
 BARLOW ON STAGE

Stamford, Conn, Oct. 27.-UP)- When Lester P. Barlow, Indepen- dent Republican candidate for con- gress refused to shake hands with Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce on speak ing platform last night, the crowd of 400 rose and walked out.
 Mrs. Luce, Greenwich, is the Re- publican candidate for the fourth district congressional seat. She was on the platform with Rep Leroy Downs, D., Norwalk, and David Mansell, Greenwich, the Socialist nominees for Congress.
 The meeting was sponsored by the Fairfield County League of Women Voters and Barlow had turned down an invitation to speak with the other candidates, and said he would hold his own rally outdoors. His rally was called off because of the weather, so he came to the women's meeting as a spectator.
 Witnesses said Barlow, when recognized, was asked to come to the platform. He did, and shook hands with the meeting chairman, but put his right hand in his pocket when Mrs. Luce extended hers to him.
 The crowd walked out.

 Feeling that women will not gain their rightful place in society until traditional attitudes of male superiority are changed, the we'll known psychologi philosopher, Dr. William Moulton Marston, who got his Phi Beta Kappa key at Har- yard, has created a new comic mag azine character - woman who is as courageous and strong and able as any man.
 Although everyone was positive that boys wouldn't like to read about women in their comic mag azine, Wonder Woman became amazingly popular. The first quar- terS number was & sellout, the sec ond is now on sale, and with the third issue, Wonder Woman will be changed from quarterly to a bi-monthly.
