taken to the hospital Immediately
and the baby was placed in the
premature ward. The mother is
recovering normally.
A doctor who examined the baby
said she apparently has two sets
of respiratory organs and that the
two heads breathe at different
rates. The two heads were said
to cry and feed at different times,
one waking, crying and eating
while the other lay asleep.
The baby is being fed every three
hours with a bottle.
Hospital sources said they sus-
pected the child has two hearts
also but that such information must
await more X-rays.
Physicians said it was believed
that the embryo began a separa-
ton into twins but that the process
stopped when only the two heads
and necks had been formed. The

PAN AMERICAN GETS
USE OF AIRPORT AT
BERMUDA FROM NAVY

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-P)-Pan
American World Anyways announc-
ed today it had obtained the use OF
Kindley Field, Bermuda's only land
airport, and would resume service
to the island, which was interrupt
ed last December %.
Heretofore, the company had sea
plane service to the island but it
was discontinued when the Navy
reclaimed from the company four
planes leased by the latter. The
lease was not renewed in view
of PAA's plan to use land planes,
and negotiations resulted in grant
of permission To PAA to use Kind
ley Field.
The company said the schedules

JEWS IN EXODUS
FROM EUROPE

Uavy Bakstanski, general sec,
retary of the Zionist Federation
of Great Britain and Ireland, said
he did not know of such an organ
ization, but added: II believe if
Jews are leaving Europe it is the
result of intolerable persecution
and slaughter such as no people
have ever faced and represents
the determination of European
Jewry to terminate Jewish home
lessness.'
Polish Jews are arriving by the
trainloads from Lodz and other
Polish centers, Morgan said, and
they are "well dressed, well fed,
rosy checked and have plenty OF
money"
"They certainly don't look like
prosecuted people," Morgan de-
clared. II believe they have got a
plar1-a positive plan-to get out
of Europe"
He said he did not believe the
mass movement of Jews into Ger
many 'had the connivance of the
Polish government or any other
eastern power"
The arriving Jews, he said, all
had the same monotonous story
about pogroms, which he said one
Allied observer had failed even
to catch up with"
Morgan said he believed the
Jews in Europe were growing in
to a world force" and that the en-
tire Jewish plan was closely linked
with the Palestine problem.

ATLANTA POLICE
SEEK H0USEMAlD

MACON, Ca, Jan. 2lA-Macon
and Atlanta police tonight search
ed for a hotel housekeeper who is
wanted here as material witness
in the two-year-old death of a
woman tentatively identified as
Mrs. Alma Villa Carter.
Assistant Chief of Police Robert
L. Miller said the housekeeper was
given a trunk containing the dead
woman's effects by Alfred L. Cline.
Cline, an ex-convict, was arrest
ed at San Francisco Dec. 3 on a
charge of suspicion of forgery. His
arrest precipitated an investiga-
ton Of the deaths of four elderly
women in various parts of the ma
ton. He recently was charged
with murder at Dallas, Tex, in
one of the deaths.
Deputy District Attorney Hard
ing Mcclure of San Francisco con-
ferred with Macon authorities to-
day. He said he planned to leave
Friday for New York to discuss,
with insurance officials, the deaths
of several women who named
Cline in their wills.
Police said the housekeeper was
employed in the Macon hotel where
Mrs. Carriers body was found in
February, 1914. She has since dis
appeared, they said.
Mcclure has been investigating
similar deaths in Dallas, Texas,
and Jacksonville, Fla. Today he
questioned the doctor who signed
Mrs. Carriers death certificate
and morticians who supervised her
cremation, at the request Of man
who claimed to be her nephew.
The ashes were unclaimed.

MAY GET
WEE WHITE HOUSE

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Jan. 2
Y)-A possibility developed today
that the Little White House, famed
second home of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt, might be offered
to Georgia for conversion into a
national memorial shrine.
Plans for the memorial shrine
to the late President were dis
cussed here at a meeting OF the
business and commercial panel OF
the state agricultural and industrial
development board.
The panel voted to ask the state
LEGISLATURE, in the event the Little
White House is offered to Georgia,
to:
/. Appropriate 100000 fordn-
velopment of the site as public
memorial, and to approve a 25-
cent charge for those visiting the
attra ction.
2. Incorporate a public commits
sion to administer and promote
the memorial.
The panel also discussed advisa-
bility of asking the Federal govern
ment to establish a memorial park
in the vicinity of Warm Springs.
This would require an appropria-
ton from Congress.
The panel, however, voted to
ask the state to provide $1,000 for
drawing maps and blueprints of
the project.
The Little White House is now
the property Of the Warm Springs
Foundation.
