CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-Two unset

marine, missing from the effects
Of Mrs. Frank Starr Williams, pro-
vided the main support today for
a theory that robbery was the
motive when the State Department
attaches wife was slain in the
Drake Hotel January 10.
The slain woman's husband told
reporters the pearl, a valued family
possession, and the aquamarine,
which he bought in Rio de Janeirc
en- route home from Japan as a
gift for his wife, had not been
found in safe deposit boxes or bag
gage here or In Washington. Like
wise, he said, brown leather Jewel
case was missing.
A fortune in other jewery was
found in Mrs. Williams deposit
boxes here, along with 100000 in
currency, War bonds and securi-
ties.
Aside from the robbery possibility,
the Staying apparently was still as
much Of riddle as it was the night
Mrs. Williams was killed.
A lie detector indicated that her

Mr.. Provinse and Representative

Committee designed to clarity the

Told by Chairman Dickstein that
there is feeling WRA has mot done

done" in handling the japanese
population, Mr.. Provinse replied that
1t was easier to say how the Job
should be done than actually tc
do it.
He said WRA had tried to avoid
separating families and that this
policy resulted sometimes in keep
ing loyal and disloyal Japanese to-
gether.
He said about 1900 youths volun-

the camp population. Few Of the

After winning the Battle Of Phar- !,

master Of the Roman Empire. Some
Of the old forms Of the republic
were kept, but the real power fell
into the hands Of q single man.
The Roman Senate voted that
Caesar should be dictator for life >.
This was indeed q rare honor but
1t also held danger.
There was legend in Caesars
family that one of its founders had
been the goddess Venus. After win !

Caesar seems to have believed tho
story and to have looked upon
himself as a god who was on earth
to rule a mighty empire. He allowed
his statue to be set up in q Roman
temple with the words ITO the I'm,

Although he looked upon himself;
too highly, Caesar was in general
just and generous while he held
the greatest power over the empire

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
BRIDGE SwindIe No. 1877

v Opl. FaSS 5 MI
Pass Pass Pass
North's double OF one heart was
not well founded, because he had
too little strength in spades. South
had an excellent hand opposite a
takeout double, including at least
two shoppers in the adversely bid
suit, and from his point of view
three no-trump figured to be q
cinch.
West could see no better opening
lead than a heart, despite South's
bid, and therefore led the fourth
highest of that suit. Right here, at
the first trick, the average declarer
would lose the contract. He would
be quite pleased to win with the
jack or ten in dummy .and would
promptly start to clear the diamond
suit. West, on winning with the
queen or ace, depending on South's
play, would just as promptly shift
to spades. 1t would take no genius
on Vests part to see that the
heart suit was hopeless, with South
marked with two more heart tricks
and shoppers. And, obviously, the
spade shift would be declarer's ruin
alton.
This particular declarer, however,
was a swindler par excellence. No
spade shift for him! At the first
trick, instead of letting the heart
ten hold, he played his own ace
without the flicker of hesitation!
He led a club to the king and re-
turned the diamond jack. West
Won-and look at the spot he was
on! Apparently, SOuth's heart king
would drop on the next lead, estab-
fishing Vests entire suit while he
still controlled diamonds and spades,
What would you do in Vests DO
sltion. dear reader? Well, SO did
West. He led another heart, and
after that declarer's worries were
over.

If he had done that 1t would have
guarded the health of the Roman

grounds for mosquitoes. Caesar did
not know that mosquitoes carried

to cut down the spread Of that
disease.

 Seeing the cab rapidly sinking, Private Nieboer, although he had sustained an injury to his ankle, dove into the stream and went to the mans assistance.
 At this location the water was approximately seven feet deep and the current very rapid, but he swan underwater into the cab and made two attempts to effect q res 1 cue

Those are the facts and some of the figures, but Navy still can boast one of the best departmental records on share-the-car riding in Washington. off the record, some officials there claim it's only natu- raj because of Navy esprit de corps. If you are navy man or WAVE. or even a Marine, Coast Guard or SPAR, there's a good chance of finding a share-the-rider who will go out of his way to pick you up.
 Even the thumbers wearing these uniforms get a ride, but it doesn t always apply in other branches of the service and certainly NOT among civilian clothed employees.

names who will have to be taken care Of or else some drivers are going to lose either their license or rationing allotments.
 #
 Those are the cold facts. Actual ly, more than 7,40O Navy worke"-. in uniform and out, are now hook ing rides every morning and eve ming under the aGare-the-ride pro gram. There are only a few more than 3.700 who still could fiji Into the program and only aaout nalt of these are persons whose problems couldn't be solved immediately if full cooperation were obtained.
 You would think that every driver in the Navy had either a B or card but according to the sur yey. only about 3.35O do and nearly all of these drive to work daily.
 The average occupancy of Navy share-the-ride cars is 2.4 persons: which still is one person short of the District OPA goal but much better than the overall average for uhe capital area. The Navy has one big complaint that they feel keeps them from being 150 percent per feet. That's lack of parking space. There's a lot of open land around the Navy buildings but most of it belongs to Interior Secretary Ickes National Park Service, and if the 'old curmudgeon" has one particu- lar antipathy, it's against making parking lots out of national park property. So serious is the parking problem around the Navy depart ment that B and c card holders have to be allotted an extra gallon of gas a day just to get their cars in and out of there.
