Gashed Wrist With Letter Opener.
Miss Elliott became hysterical. DR.
Maurice H. Friedman Of 2040 Bel
mont street NV, was summoned
and he prescribed the sleeping medi-
cine. Miss Elliott was to be given
one tablet twice a day.
On Tuesday Miss Elliott used a
letter opener to cash her wrist and
on Wednesday, used fingernail clip
pers on her arm, police said.
Meanwhile, the sleeping tablets
had been in the. custody of Mrs
Jean Sanders, a sister-in-law OF
Robert Sanders, who was doing
them out as prescribed.
Mrs. Sanders took the tablets with
her when she went downtown
Thursday, according to the police.
On her return she hid them in the
medicine cabinet in her private
bathroom.
Found in Deep Sleep.
Thursday evening, Miss Elliott
was found in a deep slumber. The
family found the tablets had been
removed from the medicine cabinet
and a number were missing. DR..
Friedman was called again, and
he ordered her taken to Georgetown
Hospital, where she was admitted
at 1880 am. yesterday.
She died there at 12:45 am. today
Questioned by a reporter today,
Robert Sanders said Miss Elliott
had been respondent about "a love
affair" He said he had met her
some time ago in New England.
Joseph Sanders said the marriage
had not been called of, but merely
postponed.
Native of South Africa.
Miss Elliott, a native Of South
Africa. who is understood to have
relatives in Paris, formerly lived in
New York and was employed for a
time by a Washington Photographic
firm, police said they were told.
Robert Sanders. an Aeronautical
engineer, is president Of the Engi-
neering & Research Corp. Of Riv-

Mr.. Berliner was principally
known as the inventor Of, the

A professor of history by profess
sion, Mr.. Bidault believed until re-
Gently that Russia and her satellites
eventually would see that it Is to
their advantage to join the western
powers in a plan to maintain peace
and contribute to the economic re-
covery of the world. The French
foreign minister regarded the an
tics of the Russian diplomats as in
evitable outbursts of a power which
only recently had become a great
force in world politics. But he be-
lieved that with tact and patience
the Comintern would not refuse in

Knows Russia's Game.
In any event, Mr.. Bidault felt
that insofar as his own country was
concerned, 1t had nothing to fear
from Russia. This belief was further
stimulated by the fact that while
Maurice Thorez, Moscow's spokes-
man in France. was foreign
minister he went out of his way at
cabinet meetings to be cooperative
and indulgent toward the youthful
foreign minister.
Mr. Bidault began to see Rus
sia's game clearly at the Moscow
Conference last spring. But all doubts
as to the u S. S. RS ultimate
aims in Europe, and elsewhere
were removed when Mr.. Molotoy
refused to accept the Marshall nlar

District public welfare arrange

an estranged family can deposit
various amounts of money at the
precinct police station for payment
for support of some other member
of the family. Such payments usu-
ally are ordered by the Juvenile
Court and can be made by person
as a matter of convenience to the
precinct instead of to the court or
to the person who ultimately re-
ceives it.
The District auditors check of
welfare funds and other money
pertaining to District funds, as
distinguished from Police Associa-
ton funds, has shown to date that
those accounts are in order.

The maximum shortage possible

of them foundered on the $1eO-a-

which the Speaker spoke, relating
the success OF Congress in stopping
"the drift to state socialism and

You sort of get the idea, from the
nature of the Speakers audience
and his private conferences, that the
people he is out to meet are those
who will either be delegates to the
national convention next summer
or will have a heavy hand in de-
termining who the delegates shall be.
If this is the case and he really
is taking personal interest in those
delegates, it may all be the result
of a clambake enjoyed by Joe and
his neighbors in Fall River five OF
six weeks ago. 1t was real nice
clambake and they all had real nice
time. 1t was more than nice for
Joe. 1t was wonderful. For the day
had been named Joe Martin Day
by official proclamation of the
Mayor Democrat. The stores were
closed and the people turned out
ito honor their Representative. Two
thousand of them crowded into a
big shed in the park to eat the

Hint From Brewster.
There was warm demonstration
when Senator Brewster Of Maine
one Of the speakers, offered this
broad hint: THE end is not yet

Representative Rogers cried, Some
day Joe Martin will be President

Gov. Bradley was there to praise

Baldwin and Bridges and many
House members, Republican and
Democratic, from New England. Gov.
Dewey sent message saying Joe
is "a fine human being" and Demo-
cratic Leader John Mccormack
wired something equally pleasant.
After Joe got back to Washington
he must have thought a good deal
about that clambake. In any case

going out West to discuss party prob
lens and national issues with party
leaders. And now he's doing it.

social security, might help. He
proposed, too. to extend social Sc

The States, Senator Taft said

INDEPENDENCE:
India Riots

During the two days before fate
full India became a land Of free
men, more than 200 died in a bloody
orgy of violence and rioting in the
huge northern province of Punjab.
Lahore, the capital, was the GEN.
ter of the disturbance, but fierce
fighting also took place throughout
the west and east Punjab country
side. Wide sections of Lahore were
af1ame.
This took place on the eve Of In
dia's independence day, just before
the Indian constituent assembly sat
down to function as a free govern
ing body.
Cause of the rioting, melted, as
always, by terrorists, was the bit
ter disagreement arising out of the
partitioning of India into two sepa-
rate lonesome for Hindus. the
other for Moslems.
In New Delhi, the independence
day ceremonial program began
with two minutes of silence for
those who died in the fight for free
dom which was finally achieved
through amicable negotiations with

both houses Of parliament and now

their skilled trade instead of spend
ing time serving customers.
Customer demand, which admit
tedly takes peculiar turns at times,
can, nevertheless, be anticipated by
analyzing customer buying habits.
For instance, steaks and chops
would be cut in several thicknesses
so that virtually every customer
could pick up exactly the kind and
cut of meat he had in mind.
Experiments have almost wholly
disproved the theory that loss Of
personal service in butcher shops
would result in a decline of sales,
principally because attractively

effective selling medium in them
selves.

Although the public is not too well

important and fiercely waged do
mestic post war battles is that
being fought between private busi-

Crux of the feud is the fact that
cooperatives are tax-exempt, while
private business is not. From this
evolve two basic questions:
1. What effect does tax-ex-
emption have upon growth Of
the cOoperatives?
2. Is tax-exemption a factor
of discrimination against pri-
vate business?
A house small business Subcom-
