College Girl
 SIoys Mother
Ry ROBERT WEIDE

Los Angeles, May 14-UP)-Bar- bara Adams, 17-year-old college student who admitted plunging a butcher knife through her mothers heart while she slept, told police today she had plotted the killing for two years.
 The oval-faced City College Coed, described as a "bookworm" by fel- low students, amazed police psychi- artists with her coolness and ap- parent lack of remorse. Her only reply was, T had my reasons" when investigators sought to learn the cause of the staying.
 Capt. Thad Brown of the homi- eide squad, said the girl purchased the knife at a downtown depart ment store last Friday, and blandly described testing the death weapon by cutting the heads off two canary birds.
 He quoted her as saying that she killed the birds, burned their bodies in an incinerator and next morning slipped into her mothers room and fatally stabbed Mrs. Maude Adams, 54.
 The girl told police she had plunged the 10-inch blade into her mothers breast and stifled the wom- ans screams with a pillow. She said she had read the bible and slept for Il hours before informing 8 neighbor of the crime.
 During subsequent questioning Brown said the girl told him she had intended to follow up the stabbing by taking her own life but had changed her mind.
 Yesterday, she said, she attended Mothers Day services at Juvenile Hall and showed no signs of emo- tion. An examination made of pile of books in the Adams apartment added little to Barbaras vague hints that her mother wouldn't let her lead her own life"
 The girl majored in geology at City college but was ambitious for an operatic career and took private music leSsions. Her mother worked 12 hours day as hospital attend ant to finance her education.
 Co-Workers of Mrs. Adams said the dead woman recently had ex- pressed anxiety over her daughters mental attitude and had taken hel to be examined by psychiatrist.
 Mrs. Adams was divorced from Barbara's father before the girl was born and the mother and daughter lived by themselves, apparently de- voted to each other, police said.

looking at his stop watch, fuses around to

WHEN Tom Howard is announced, the
director walks over to the wings to usher
him to the microphone. No one appears.
Instead, little old man comes on from the
opposite wing. They ask him who he is and
he says, I'm Tom Howard" The director
doesn't believe him. They argue about it.
Finally the little man says. well, If I'm

Colonel Stoopnagle, temporarily off the

Finally he put the frame in paper bag
and pushed various objects through it -
a needle and thread. knife, finally his
whole arm.
Taking the frame out of the torn bag he
would tremendously wipe the glass to
show it had not been damaged, and then
toss it into the wings. Whereupon there was
a loud crash of glass.
Many announcers plead in some fashion
with the audience to laugh, but one star
does just the opposite. Eddie Cantor never
asks his studio audience to laugh; he tells
them to. IF you don't laugh" he says in
the warm-up, you'll never get in here
