BLONDE SOUGHT
 IN HUB MURDER
Police Believe She Can Ex- plain Staying of Taxi-
 cab Driver

Braintree, Mass, April 21 - (U. P.) - A blonde woman in 8 red coat was hunted by police today in the belief that she could explain the staying of 8 Boston taxi driver and the fatal shooting of a Buffalo, N. Y., sailor with the same revolver.
 Howard Joseph Smith, 20; U. s. N. R., gunner's mate, third class, of (Ryan street) Buffalo died at Weymouth hospital late last night of a bullet wound in the head which police believed was self-in- f1icted about 18 hours earlier.
 Smith never regained conscious ness after he was found, naked ex. cept for his shoes and socks, near railroad tracks in Bralntree High lands yesterday. The spot was about a mile from where Charles V. Lisi- tano, 28, of Boston's west end had been found shortly before, slumped at the wheel of his wrecked taxi- cab with mortal bullet wound in his head. He died enroute to a hos- pital.
 The uniedtif1ed blonde in the fur- trimmed red coat entered the case when a witness told police that he saw her enter Lisitano's cab with a sailor in Boston'S Chinatown 40 minutes before the cab veered of the road and crashed through a fence in South Braintree. After Lis- itano was shot, apparently by fare and his cab was wrecked, no trace was found of the blonde.
 A police ballistician reported that both bullets were fired from the AS caliber army revolver found beside Smith. Police said there was no ap- parent motive for the staying of LtSitano.

bodily welfare of his eminence. the Cardinal. To this plea, we shall all, priests and people, respond with our whole hearts. Many who are not of the Catholic fold will join their Catholic friends in sincere petition.
 Tt is the conviction of the com- munity - and of the nation that the, long, busy career of the Card inal has been utterly and uSefully devoted to God and county; that his policies have fostered good will among all men; that he has richly merited the blessing Christ promised to the peace makers.
 we may feel assured that this good and faithful servant is pre- pared humbly and docilely to &C., cept Gods will in his behalf. We, who have been the flock of his charge, can do no less. We can pray and we shall pray fervently, that God and his Immaculate Mother may be very near their servant in this hour of supreme consequences. !"

abroad arrived at the Episcopal res idence on Commonwealth avenue where the prelate has been i'll since he contracted cold on Easter Eve. These messages inquired regarding the Cardinals condition and ex- pressed hope for his speedy re- covery.
 A bulletin issued by the Rev. John J. Wright, the Cardinals sec- retary, at 10:45 last night read:
 His Eminence, although serious ly ill, is resting comfortably. There is no change in his condition"
 Monsignor Richard J. Haberlin and ConSignor Jeremiah F. Minihan Vicar-General and Chancellor of the diocese, respectively, remained at the Cardinals residence over- night with Father Wright. The cardinals two nephews and three of his nieces visited the bedside yes- terday.
 In speech at Bridgewater last night, Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, pres- ident of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, Inc, asked that prayers be said for the cardin- al's spiritual comfort.

 Last year the Protestant churches of America sent to China, for emer- gency relief, through the church committee on overseas relief and reconstruction, $450,O00, in addi- tion to probably an equal amount sent directly to their respective missions in China for emergency purposes. This was spent for help to war orphans and refugees from bombed or occupied areas, famine and flood relief, for medicines and vitamins, and to provide revolving loans to help establish war casualty families in self-sustaining buSi- nesses. Funds were administered largely by missionaries and their Chinese colleagues under the church committees own administrative com mittee in China.
 The call for church funds to al- leviate famine in India during the past year, and the probability of demands for help in Burma, Malaga, Thailand and the Philippines, as they open up, led the church com mittee on overseas relief and re- construction, early this year, to re- quest the church committee for China relief to consider being re- constituted on this enlarged basis to care for these additional areas of need.
 MT. Moore explained that church committee on China relief will con- tinue its organizational entity as a subcommittee of church committee for relief in Asia, to administer its ongoing program in China. It will continue its membership in United China relief.
 Over $10O,000 has been sent from American churches to India in the last six months. An appeal for $50,00O from American churches is now under way for India, to com. bate conditions of disease and suf- fering which follow in the wake of such famine conditions as existed during the 9arly winter.

 Resume Monday
By ANN HICKS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, April 21.-(UP)-The biggest sedition trial of the war was in recess today while the court sought to determine if it was a mix up in dates that led defendant Ed ward James Smythe to spend the first two days of the proceedings at a fishing resort near the Canadian border.
 Presiding Judge Edward c. Richer called 8 special hearing to receive contentious by Smythe's attorney, James J. Laughlin, that his client was not a fugitive but had thought mistakenly that the trial was sched- uled to start on April "A rather than the 17th.
 Laughlin also said he would seek a writ of mandamus in the court of appeals to halt tine trial until it can investigate its legality"
 Smythe was adjudged a fugitive when he failed to appear at the opening session Monday and his

$1,00O bond was revoked-but still hasn't been paid by the bondsman. Laughlin asked the court to nullify the revocation order and to put aside or reduce the new bond of $l0,000 fixed for his client.
 Smythe was returned to Wash ington Wednesday by FBI agents after being arrested at Au Au Sable Forks, N. Y, near the Canadian border. Unable to raise the $10,O0O, he is being held in the district jail.
 The trial of Smythe and % other defendants was in adjournment un- til Monday when defense and prose- cution will resume the task of select ing a jury. The questioning of veniremen began yesterday and after a turbulent session, the score was none chosen, six disqualified, and 72 potential jurors still remaining in the first panel.
 Richer put the remaining prospects on their honor to read nothing of the trial in the newspapers before they return for questioning Monday.
 The complicated problem of ac- commodfating the press in the tiny courtroom finally was solved when 12 reporters were given seats just before the 78 veniremen filed into the tiny courtroom. As prospective jurors left to sit in the jury box, other reporters took their places on the bench.
 Ten representative members of the public" also were admitted and Richer solemnly noted the presence of both the press and public be- fore questioning of jurors began. n

 Since then everything has been all right. The girls get tremendous kick out of their strange new home, in which wine cellars have been converted into shower baths and there is no central heating.
 Outside the house, the girls have taken over the howerbeds, and WACS in c. I. jumpers can be seen at all hours moving the lawns and pruning roSebushes.
