Tries to Plant Time Bomb In Airiiner To Murder Wife

LOS ANGELES, (P)-Love for a pretty red-haired airline stew ardesS was advanced yesterday by police as a motive for the ac- ton of a young father who sought to destroy his family by planting a time bomb on an airlines carry ing them and 13 other persons
 Police It. C. E. Ream said that Miss Betty Suomela of Hermosa Beach told him that she was in love with John Henry Grant, 32, and that the approximate time Monday that he placed the bomb on an United Air Lines DC-3, she though he was appearing in court getting a divorce from his wife.
 The stewardess, who is not em- ployed by United, told Ream that Grant led her to believe that he would marry her after the di- Vorce. Ream questioned the stew ardeSS after Grant drove her car to the airport. Ream said he was convinced that the steWardess was in no way implicated in the case and that she would be re- leased.
 Grant lost his nerve at the last moment and no one was injured.
 Just as the blue and silver United AirlineS pcs was about to leave Los Angeles interpational airport for San Diego Monday, Grant ran to the ticket counter and screamed.
 Don't let that plane take off! I just put a bag on it full of gaso- line!"
 At the same moment a baggage handler loading the plane out on the field dropped a heavy suit case. It exploded and flames far ed up, singeing the mans eye brows and hair.
 The baggageman, Harold May CT, quickly eXtinguis h e the flames and tossed the suitcase out on the ground. He opened it and

OPEN LETTER BY
L. NJ. REICHERT
Proposes State-SponsOred Ma
ternity Hospital System
At Nominal Cost
LIKE SCHOOL SYSEM

Leland M. Reichert, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for re-
preventative, Blackbird Hundred,
proposed a state sponsored matern-
ity hospital system in his second
open letter to the residents of this
area. The purpose of such a hos
pital system, Mr.. Reichert stated,
would be to make available to the
mothers and expectant mothers of
Delaware the finest semi-private
maternity hospital service at a
moderate nominal cost for the ex-
press purpose of reducing to a
feasible and reasonable cost the
financial strain which today burd-
ems families of ordinary people hav-
ing babies. The candidate propos-
es this be accomplished by a state
sponsored maternity hospital sys-
tenn controlled similarly to the
school system that is with local con-
troll on county basis by directors
elected from each representative
district and with the states rela-
tionship the same as it is to the
school system. Mr.. Reichert sug-
gests two hospitals in each county
one white and one colored, both OF
equal quality of service with loca-
tions in rural surroundings and
buildings preferably of the cottage
type. He also suggests total fee
of $35 per confinement. The candi-
date declares that his system would
be an alternative to our present
general hospitals saying that peo'
pie wishing to use the present ser
vices with family doctors or spec
ialists would be free to do so, char.
ity cases would be handled as al
present, and those choosing this
new complete one-cost maternity
service could use it. Mr.. Reichert
believes the realization of such
system would result in prompt re-
duction of excessive fees and cost:
in private practice.
Smyrna times., 1950-06-15

access to the schools kitchen and
the use of the cafeteria will provide
the atmosphere of informality to
be desired. All persons in this
school district who have an inter
est in the welfare of children are
urged to get in back of this move
ment which is serious in its intent.
Come and join the association on
the 18th. Your presence will aid
the youthful group in their plans.

GIRL SCOUTS TO
NIAGARA FALLS
Continued from Page One

to Virginia last year, it was deeid-
ed that the scouts were prepared
for this larger adventure, and the
winter months were spent studying
maps and working on the itinerary.
Recent meetings have been devoted
to planning a suitable wardrobe,
checking the pup tents, and plan
ming menus. Marketing had been
completed for the first two meals.
The scouts expect to spend nights
at Girl Scout camps or at state
parks. When they arnive at camp
site, housekeeping must be set up.
If there is no cabin the pup tents
must be pitched, and bed rolls made
up. Everyone is hungry, SO MEM
bers lose no time in building the
fire and getting the meal. The
meal over dishes are washed in a
sanitary manner, and by this time
the tired girls are about ready for
bed. They rise at seven o'clock
each morning, cook breakfast, and
are ready to start by 8 am.
Wilkes Barre First Stop
The first stop was at wilkes
Barre. Pa, where the troop was
entertained at luncheon by Mr.. and
Mrs. Burkert, after which they Wis
tied a colhery. The first night was
spent at Girl Scout camp at Ell
mira, N. Y. The three nights at
Niagara Falls will be spent at the
camp of the Niagara Falls Girl

seeing will include a tour of both
frontiers of Niagara Falls, Canadi-
an and American, Watkins Glen,
an Indian reservation, the Finger

]. B. Tiddell, Captain of Canadian
Girl Guides, for the Smyrna Scouts
to be their guests at an outdoor
party at Niagara Falls, Ontario

TO BE HELD JUNE 2O-22

Sara Jane Sparks, Ruth KINNEY
and Verna Smith will represent
Smyrna as delegates to the annual
Girls State program which will be
held in Dover on June 20, 81 and
%. Sponsored by the American
Legion Auxiliary, the 1850 session
'of this school of government" will
feature a regular session of the
General Assembly under the guild
ance of state officials. The repre-
sentatives, including high school
girls from all parts of the state,
will inaugurate a new phase of the
program this year. For the first
time the girls will elect their own
officers, the various nominees con-
ducting campaigns prior to the
election. For this reason the af-
fair will be held three days instead
of the previous two. In former
years the state officers were desig-
mated to be delegates from certain
schools in order that all areas of
the state be represented by officers
over a period of years. However,
former attendants favored the
more democratic method of cleo
ton as giving a better idea of the
actual functioning of the govern
ment.
Divided Into Groups
The delegates will be divided in
to groups of senators, representa-
tives and attaches and party align
ments will be nationalists and fed
eralists. All sessions will be held
in Legislative Hall, and the girls
will be housed at Wesley Junior
College. The delegates from the
