The Little Sister, by Raymond
Chandler. (Houghton, Mifflin
Co.; $225J
Philip Marlowe is very. very
tired this time, what with all those
women making passes at him and
a shady doctor giving him a doped
cigarette and all those corpses
sporting ice picks through the
brain. Marlowe's women include
a prim miss from Manhattan.
Kans; a movie star with too
many doorkeys and a pseudo
Mexican tamale named Dolores.
All are more or less involved in
blackmail plot dire enough to
make the corpses multiply. Cnan-
dler seems a little tired, too, but
even a tired Chandler packs more
wallop per chapter than any of
his imitators.
The Gun in Daniel Webster's Bust,
by Margaret Scherf. doubleday
g. Co.: $2.25.)
Crime Club
Emily promised to lend the stage
manager Daniel Webster's bust for
opening night and it wasn't her
fault the gun turned up in Mr..
Webster and a bust of Gen. Sher-
man was substituted. After all,
she didn't know the stage set was
a Southern drawing room. 1t is
in this frolicsome vein that Miss
Scherf proceeds to kill off an un-
pleasant biddy and make suspects
of the artless Emily; her mar
riage-dodging assistant Henry
and various other eccentric char
acters-one of whom presumably
fired the gun in anger.

 Odom's death plunge into a Der ca home during the second lap of the Thompson trophy event Mon day revived the protest of area residents against the low flying speedsters, shrieking over their homes at 400 miles an hour. The dark green racer, a converted fighter. ripped through the house, killing Mrs. Jeanne Laird, 24, and her year-old son, Craig.
 Odom was flying an F-5l Mus tang owned by aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran.
 Cook Cleland of Cleveland, for mer navy fighter pilot, took the Thompson trophy and $l9,l00 with a new speed record of 397 miles an hour. He also won in 1947 with a record of 396 miles per hour, a record that stood until Monday.

False Fire Alarm In AirIiner

MEDFORD. Ore. CP)-A North west AirlineS DC-4 landed here safely today after turning back on a Seattle-to- Honolulu flight when a warning light indicated fire in the baggage compartment.
 Fire extinguishers were used while the plane was returning here, and on landing, baggage was removed and no evidence could be found that there had been a fire, officials said.
 The plane carried II passengers and six creWmen. Capt. R. o. Pol haamuS was in command. It turn ed back when about 3I2 hours out of Portland.
 Cargo consisted chiefly of baby chicks and perishables. All but a few of the chicks were killed by the fumes from the fire extin- guishers.
 Most of the passengers were asleep and did not know the plane had turned back until it was over land again, navigator G. Geyer said.
 Polhamus reported to James Speer, VIVA manager at Portland, that apparently the fire warning light was faulty. He said it blinked on, went off when COP extinguish- CT was used, then went on again.
 The plane will return to Port land for a check as soon as the COP tanks are re-filled. A fresh crew is expected to continue the flight to Honolulu.
