|46 Senate Colleagues Petition
IOverton to Seek Reelection

Senator Overton. Democrat, OF
Louisiana had under consideration
today an unprecedented petition OF
46 of his Democratic colleagues in
the Senate that he reconsider his
decision not to seek reelection this
year The Senator has until July to
file If he decides to run.
Senator Overton has been a
stanch friend of the District
throughout his Senate career. While
chairman of the District Subcom-
mittee of the Senate Appropriations
Committee several years ago, he
succeeded in increasing the Federal
share in the upkeep of the National
Capital from $4,000 to $4,000, 900
a year. He tried also to have Con-
gress abandon the lump-sum method
of meeting this obligation and re-
turn to a fixed percentage formula,
based on the land area Of the city
required for national purposes. The
House declined to accept the Over
ton formula, but compromised by
raising the lump sum.
Put Through Navy Bills.
The Louisiana Senator gave up
the District Subcommittee to take
charge of Navy appropriations, and
has helped put through the supply
bills that have built the Navy to its
present striking power.
Chairman Mcclellan. of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, who was
one of the first to sign the petition,

Catharine Latta
And Marisa Regules
Hailed in Concert
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

The enthusiasm which greeted
every selection presented by two
young and attractive artists, Cath
arine Latta, contralto. and Marisa
Regules, pianist, who appeared last
night at the final concert of the
spring series by the Chamber Music
Guild at Continental Hall, spoke
more eloquently than words of the
fine impression their talent and abil-
ity made upon the audience.
In splendid voice, Miss Latta sang
Brahms "Zwei Gesaenge, op. 91";;
"Gestillte Sehnsucht" and "Geist-
hches Wiegenlied," with viola OBJ
bligato, played by Jascha Veisse
violist of the Guild Quartet, and
assisted by Arpad Sander at the
piano. Recalled several times, Miss
Latta could have easily added an
other number to her brief program
or repeated one of the songs which
found so much favor. Earlier in the
season, she was the recipient of a
cash prize offered by the guild to
young singers and her debut here
was anticipated with interest.
Miss Regules' brilliant execution,
her poise and assurance, called forth
another outburst of appreciation
bringing thus the series to sue
cessful conclusion. She played
Castro's effective DANA" and
Tango" Ginastera's "Criolla,' de
Falla's popular "Danza," from LA
Vida Breve";; Granados' La Maja
Y ell Ruisenor," closing with two
numbers by Albeniz, Gel Albaicin"
and "Triana."
Chebaline's 1.-Two Pieces for String
Quartet, op. 28"; Borodines Mot
turno" and VOLTS "Serenade Ital-
ienne" was the Guild Quartet's con-
tribution to the program.
Lovette Choral Club
Gives Annual Concert.
The Lovette Choral Club, under
the direction of Eva Whitford Lo-
vette, assisted by Tom Pyle, BARI
tone, gave its 18th annual spring
concert at the Roosevelt High
School Auditorium last night.
The club presented fine appear
ance in the attractive stage setting
and was cordially greeted by pro-
longed applause. The program was
opened by Thomas S. Lovette's '"The
Kingdom of Our Gracious Lord"
composed by him expressly for the
club he founded in 1925. This was
followed by Malotte's "The Lords
Prayer" and Handel's "Halleluja,
Amen" arranged by Homer Whit
ford, numbers sung with devotional
feeling.
Mr.. Pyle made a very favorable
impression in his group of songs,
which began with selection by
Handel, "Dank sci dir, Herr" He
showed a clear diction, a robust
voice and breath control in this tax
ing number as well as in Arne's Air
from "Comus," Schubert's "Im Aben-
droth" and "Gruppe aus dem Tar
tarus."
The varied program gave the
singers an opportunity to display
their musicianship and shadings.

Failure 10 Sever Nazi Ties
Costs Soldier Citizenship
By the Associated Press.

BY .Lne Associated Press. ,-..a,.
~, NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nav o.
Federal Judge J. Joseph Smith today
revoked the citizenship Of a Ger
man-born American soldier on the
ground that he had not renounced
all his allegiance to the German
Reich.
The Government had charged
that the soldier, Rudolph Wurzen-
berger, 80, of Springdale, Conn, as
serted after his induction into the
Army on August IT, 1912, that he
did not want to fight against the
Nazis and preferred to restrict his
military activities to the American
continent.
In stripping Wurzenberger of the
American citizenship he obtained
eight years ago, Judge Smith said
"The evidence is sufficient to show
clearly that the defendants renun-
citation of allegiance of the Reich
and assumption of American citi-
zenship was less than perfect"
The court held also that the oath
OF allegiance to the United States
taken by Wurzenberger was false
and fraudulent in that the defend
ant did not, in fact, renounce all
allegiance to the German Reich"

| $1,000 Income
Called Too Low
| By Robert Nathan

One hundred dollars a week is
not enough income, Robert Nathan,
youthful economist and former
chairman of the planning commit
tee of the War Production Board,
told the National Lawyers Guild of
Washington yesterday.
Il don't know about you folks" :"
he said at luncheon meeting in
the Dodge Hotel, "but as far as I'm
concerned, don't think $4,000 a
year is a very high standard of
living"
He pointed out that only one per-
son in 100 had such an income in
1880, that our productive capacity
had increased IS per cent since then
and that the hope for the future
was in increasing the income of
the other 80 because you can't have
mass production without mass con-
sumption"

Delegate Election
Shifts Spotlight
To Ohio tuesday
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

The political spotlight will shift to
Ohio Tuesday when the State elects
its 50-member delegation to the Re-
publican National Convention, and
| SO delegates to the Democratic con-
vention.
Gov. John w. Bricker, seeking the
Republican presidential nomination
will have the Buckeye State delega-
tion pledged to support him. The
Democratic delegation will support
President Roosevelt for renomina-
ton.
Gov. Bricker remains now as the
principal challenger of Gov. Dewey
lof New York for the Republican
presidential nomination, since the
Withdrawals of Wendell L. Willkie
and Gen. Douglas Macarthur. The
only other Republican in the run
ming, with delegates pledged to him
is 1t. Comdr. Stassen, former Gov
ernor of Minnesota, now serving ir
the South Pacific. Representative
Dirksen of Illinois is an avowed can
didate but has entered no primaries
for delegates.
Majority Claimed for Dewey,
The Dewey for President forces
have rolled up an impressive num-
Der OF delegates. Their estimates are
that he is assured already of the
support of more than a majority OF
the convention delegates.
Gov. Bricker, however, Is conced-
ing nothing to Gov. Dewey. He will
carry his campaign into three great
agricultural States of the Midwest
this week, starting with a speech in
Des Moines, Iowa, Thursday night
On Friday he will speak at two
meetings in Nebraska, in Lincoln
and Omaha. He will go to Milwau-
kee Saturday for two speeches.
Since announcing his candidacy
last November Gov. Bricker has
personally carried his campaign into
more than 30 States from coast to
coast. His campaign managers say
he will maintain the same pace
right up to the time of the open
ing of the national convention.
Senator Taft, runner-up in the
contest for the Republican presi-
dental nomination in 1910, has
stood aside this year and is sup
porting Gov. Bricker for the nomi-
nation. The prediction is freely
made in Ohio that Senator Taft
will be nominated and reelected to
the Senate whether Ohio goes Re-
publican or Democratic in the presi-
Dental race.
Bricker Has Large Bloc.
The prospects are that Gov.
Bricker will enter the convention
with a larger bloc of delegates back
of him than any other potential
nominee except Gov. Dewey. With
Dewey sentiment running strong,
however, a nomination of the New
Yorker on the first ballot seems in
the cards.
If Gov. Bricker fails to win first
place on the ticket, but makes an
impressive showing, the convention
may turn to him for Vice Presi-
dent. At present the leading pros
poets for vice presidential nomi-
nation If Gov. Dewey Is nominated
for President-are Gov. Bricker,

Police Get Picture
|0f Possible Victim
OF Trunk Murder
sy the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Police dis
closed tonight they had obtained
a picture of woman who had been
living with a man in hotel here
as Mrs. John Lopez and said they
would use 1t in an attempt to identi-
fly the woman whose nearly nude,
salt-packed body was shipped from
Chicago to Los Angeles In trunk.
The trunk was brought into
Railway Express Agency Office here
for shipment last Sunday by
man who identified himself as John
Lopez.
1t. Philip Breitzke of the homi-
eide division said check of a
Chicago Hotel revealed that MIR.
and Mrs. John Lopez checked out
Sunday Sam Hamdian, handy
man there, said he found blood
stains on the mattress after Lopez
left and that all the sheets had
been removed.
Difference in Weight
1t. Breitzke said ne had obtained
a photograph of the woman who
had lived with Lopez at the hotel
and that Hamdian had given a de-
scription of her that fitted in most
particulars with that of the trunk
victims body in Los Angeles.
The officer said Hamdian identi-
fed the woman as Louise Villegas,
"a, five feet three inches tall and
weight about 156 pounds.
This description differed from that
of the trunk victim only in that the
body found in California weighed
130 pounds.
Police intensified their search
when a taxicab driver came to the
detective bureau and told 1t.
Breitzke he had transported the
trunk to the station from a. west
side hotel.
Accompanied by Boy.
Arthur McCord, the cab driver,
said a man hailed his cab about
2 am. Sunday in the Loop, was
driven to the hotel, got the trunk,
and was taken to the station. He
was accompanied by boy 13 or
IA years old, McCord added,
Anther clue was a towel found
in the trunk, bearing the name of
a small hostelry on South State
street, near where the man hailed
the cab driver.
Police seized a dishwasher, who,
1t. Breitzke said, formerly resided
at this hotel with two sisters named
Lopez" 1t. Breitzke said the man
gave different name and denied
he ever used the name of Lopez.
Police said he would be detained for
further questioning.
The manner of the woman's
death also remained a mystery. In
Los Angeles, Frank Webb, county
autopsy surgeon, said partial post
mortem examination disclosed the
woman did not die of a bullet or
stab wound. Further tests, which
may require several days, will be
taken to determine whether she
died of strangulation.
