Refugees From China
Arrive in Honolulu
by the Assoeioted Press

HONOLULU, Jan. 20-The Gen.
M. &C. Meigs docket yesterday with
a capacity 1900 passengers, mostly
refugees from Chinas civil war.
"All thinking people who have
anything to do with holding the
political thought of China will find
it difficult to live there" said DR..
Franklin Ho, former head of Nankai
University at Tientsin.
THE chaos and turbulence are
unparalleled in China's 4,000-year
history. This chaotic period will be
with us for long time"
DR.. Ho is en- route to join the
faculty of Yale University, his alma
mater.
The Rev 1t. T. Chow, secretary to
Thomas Cardinal Tien of Tientsin,
was with group of II nuns and 5
priests.
Although in the past two years
the Communists have murdered II
of our workers in North China" he
told reporters, "in recent months
they have adopted a softer policy
toward our peoples.
This is just a subterfuge. How
long it will continue only time will
tell. Nonetheless, there is no free
dom of thought or movement where
the Reds have gained foothold."

Negative FB| Report
Brings Halt in Probe
OF Baker Death
BY the AAocioted Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. 20.-A
negative report by the FBI labora-
tory at Washington brought a halt
today to the investigation of Gren-
vile Bakers mysterious death.
''It still leaves us with nothing to
hold anybody on Sheriff Frank
Stoutamire said in discussing the
FBI tests of evidence in the pre-
dawn roadside death Monday of the
27-year-old millionaire.
The veteran officer added that he
still believed Mr.. Baker was killed
accidentally when his jeep wrecked
. on a dirt road leading from his
mothers luxurious plantation home
near here.
Evidence Insufficient.
There is no evidence Of any
criminal liability" Sheriff Stouta-
mire said. States Attorney William
D. Hopkins added: We've done all
we can do at this time"
With Mr.. Baker when he died
with a wound in his head was black
haired Thelma Griffin, 21-year -old
divorcee and tavern waitress. She
had met Mr.. Baker for the first time
the night before he died and had
joined him and two companions in a
mild drinking party.
The FBI in telegram to Sheriff
Stoutamire said it was unable to
ascertain from the evidence at hand
whether the wound in Mr.. Bakers
head was caused by gunshot, and
that the blood and strand of hair on
the barrel of a pistol found near
Mr.. Bakers body were insufficient
to be of help in laboratory tests.
To Await Full Findings.
The FBI said further that 1t had
found no traces of nitrate on paraf-
fine casts of the hands of Mrs.
Griffin and Mr.. Bakers other two
companions to indicate that any
of the three had recently fired a
gun. N,
, A coroner's jury said the wound
in Mr.. Bakers head was made by
pistol bullet fired by an unknown
person.
Both Sheriff Stoutamire and Mr..
Hopkins said they would await the
FBI's complete findings before max
ing any conclusive statements.

vouch for excellent results. But
what no one could forsee was the
strength of the impact of their COM

Music is never really alive unless
it produces a strong reaction in the
listeners. It should stir, elate. move.
There are too many perfect per-
formances that leave one cold be-

element often referred to, for want
of better word, as inspiration.
There is so much matter -of-factness,
routine and placidity in often &C

casion such as yesterday stands out
as being different.

have hunted far and wide for one
here, but couldn't find them
Once I brought a whole plant from
Germany in 1910. 1t grew in a pot
and had finger thick stem about
1l2 feet high and from there the
beautiful small myrtle leaves
branched out thickly and were
trimmed in a perfect round shape
like big ball. 1t came originally
from IL foot tall higher tree that
was grown from one of the bios
SONS in the bridal wreath of q
friend of our family who had q
greenhouse on their estate. And
as soon as it was strong enough 1t
was planted outside. They had a
red myrtle, too, which her bride
groom wore as blossom in his
button hole and all their children
when they got married received
their wreaths and bouquets from
these two trees. I was too young
to know how to take proper care of
it and so it died after a year. So
where could buy a myrtle plant?
Then not long ago some one in
the RICH asked for the beautiful
Brahms lullaby. She will find 1t
