EXPECT SETBACK
Meantime, authorities were ex-

temporary setback in their investi-
cation of the battling new angle
that Mrs. Thompson had been en-
gagged in extensive correspondence
prior to her murder.
This new angle was disclosed,
yesterday despite the statement
Of her husband, Louis v. Thomp-

Of course, the whole subject of vitamins is

And today, millions are learning new
and better way to take their extra vitamins
"a more modern, more natural way that

now take them in fortified food!
For latest evidence shows that vitamins
do not work alone. They work most effec-
lively in combination with certain other
food elements-whicha are absolutely neces-

This is the reason SO many people are

good health. Especially, those elements
necessary for itamin-effectiveness.
For example, Vitamin A and protein are
both necessary in acknowledgement they're
both in Ovaltine. Vitamin B. and fuel-f food
also act together for vitality and they're
both in Ovaltine. Vitamin D, Calcium and
Phosphorus can't work without each other
and you get them all in glass of Oval
tine made with milk!
So why not turn to Ovaltine? If you're
eating normal meals, including citrus fruit
or tomatoes, two glasses of Ovaltine daily
should give you all the extra vitamins and
minerals you need for robust health.

BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, Jan. 25-UP)-Sen John H. Overton of Louisiana look ed like he might be asleep. Nobod.
 else was paying much attention either, to Sen. Walter F. Georg of Georgia as he reeled off tn duties of the Reconstruction Fl nance Corp.
 He reached the subject of fisl and the removal of same from tht sea at 2:55 p. m., when the back door of the Senate caucus room opened. Great-jumping -good-gosh:
 Five hundred people craned their necks. Nine movie cameras whir- red, four Hollywood spotlights glared, two dozen flash bulbs ex- ploded, sombody outside began pounding on the front door, the spectators applauded and Sen George, still on the subject of fish, gulped.
 Jesse Jones, a big man with 8 white thatch, tortoise eyeglasses. a red, white and blue necktie, and a gold-mounted rabbits foot on his chest, stalked in and found a chair.
 He unbuttoned his coat, surveyed the scene, which rapidly was ap- preaching the hectic, and Serenly continued to chomp his gum.
 At least I think it was gum: he didn't call for cuspidor.
 Jones, as you may have noticed in the papers, is the man who wrote a certain letter to President Roose- welt. He was appearing before the Senate Commerce Committee to tell why he didn't think Henry Wallace would make good Secre- tary of Commerce as well as an REC chairman, combined. He watched one cameraman push an other in the face, observed the ladies getting their hats knocked off trying to get in, heard the gears buzzing in all the movie ma chimes, and listened to Sen. Josiah w. Bailey of North Carolina de- mand that the committee come to order.
 The committeeman looked startl- ed: they'd been sitting there, quietly flabbergasted, all along. George finished about fish and the 28 other duties of the REC and Jones began his statement by wondering aloud, what about the gate receipts on that throng in the room?
 He then read statement indi- cotin0 that he doesn't think Henry Wallace would be so hot as comoln- : ation Secretary of Commerce and REC hartman. He thinks, in fact, that Wallace would be terrible and he doesn't care who hears him.
 He listed some figures they sounded like box car numbers to mel to show what big business the REC chairman. He thinks, in Iact, place for amateurs. AS of now, he said. it's being run by businessmen who have no interest in trying to remake the world. That crack brought a round of applause.
 Jones got more spatterings or handclaps when he tangled in a contest of forensics with Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida who wanted to know whether he'd re- signed, or whether he hadn't.
 Didn't you read my letter to the president?" demanded Jones.
 Pepper said he had, all right Jones said he still was on the Jop.
 You mean you are holding pos session by squatters sovereignty" Pepper demanded.
 Jones didn't answer that one; Just popped his gum and the argument went on from there.
