what was 1t that ever made Leona
Frankenbach believe she could do
this and get away with il? Well,
found IL when I drew from her that
she majored in psychology. That
was her pet study at college. That
is what she worked at
What is psychology? The science
of human conduct. The study that
lets us know why people do what
they do: leading right straight into
the science of the control of persons
actions When l saw that, l knew
had found it."
But what exactly were the psyche
logical tactics that helped Leona
worm her way first into Mr.. Reeves
home (SiX months after their fall
encounter she, her husband and their
three children were installed there)
and then into his will?
AS brought out at the trial, they
were as follows:
At the Fl Chico Bar at Miami, in
March, 1910, she called him "lovey-
dovcy" and placed in his mouth
cigarette she had been smoking;
on another occasion in Miami she
tickled him under the chin with a
blade of grass;
That same day she put her arm
around his neck, in broad daylight;
Often, it was testified, she would
run her hands through his hair and
rub the back of his neck:
In May, 1941, she held his head
and stroked his ARM
One witness declared that she wore
daring dresses another, that she per
suaded Reeves to drink gin cocktails,
after he had been on the wagon all
his life;
And finally. Lawyer Fowler intro
duced in evidence Photographic
produced on this page-which. in his
view, shows her in the very act OF
psychologically blitzing her ALLEGED
eptuagenarian prey.
Accordingly, Mrs. Frankenbach APP
piled her psychology with success to
her subject Reeves. but failed TO
impress the learned court.
A dignified graybeard, who had
been one of Mr.. Reeves neighborS,
was present at the trial, he said, TO
find out the sort of thing to be on
guard against. After getting a load
of this testimony, the patriarchal
neighbor remarked:
so that's what they call ii nova

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Navy
Secretary Frank Knox said the AL
lies are ION the threshold of critical
offensives against the Axis which
will dwarf all previous thrusts. Thus
Knox said. at this time Congress
can assure the partners of the Unit
ed States that the final blow will be
struck.
That can be done, he told the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
by continuing the Lend-Lease Act
which expires on June 80, for which
a three year extension is being
sought.
Knox revealed that under Lend
Lease the United States transferred
400 ships to the Allies, most of
them to the British, though title
was retained and they will be re-
turned when the war ends. Four
thousand naval aircraft were also
provided.

FRESH WAVE
OF WALk0UTS
WELSH MINES

LONDON, March 9.-The Welcn
coal strike today assumed more
alarming proportions as a fresh
wave of walkouts boosted the num-
Der OF idle miners to 10000, about
80 percent OF the total The num-
Der of idle mines in the coal fields
no wtotal 165.
The walkout is a result OF a wage
dispute and the strike has deprived
Britain's war industries Of sorely
needed fuel.
The British newspapers reflected
grave concern over the consequence
of the strike at time when the
world is talking about the coming
Allied offensive against western
Europe.
A conference of miners and OPP
orators yesterday failed to bring
about an agreement.
