EAR FRIENDS:


- town returning to
their studies for another nine
months, and l thought, as you
did, that there was such an
opportunity for boys and girls
who want an education in
many things, if they but apply
themselves. Bright faces, eager
attitudes and from all circum-
stances of life, these men and
women of tomorrow have so
much depending on them. The
rooms must have been filled
to capacity, for there seemed
to be so many bent on being
counted present at eight-thirty
o'clock. With such a good be-
ginning, there is the hope that
the year will be completed in
the same manner.
The beginning of the year of
the Milford New Century Club
is not too far away. Mrs.
Leonard Elfreth, the president,
having decided not to return
this fall to "Sunnybrae" but
will spend the coming winter
in Philadelphia, has selt her
resignation to the Board Of Di-
rectors, who will soon have the
announcement of the new pre-
siding officer. Mrs. Elfreth
made the club a very fine pres
ident and her resignation was
received with much regret. Her
son, Allen, has been registered
as a student in Friends Select
School in the city. which ne
cessitates the family living
there but they hope to still
spend the free Week-ends at
their home near town.
Tomorrow is the quite large
tea given by Mrs. Frank r.
Grier and Mrs. Garrett L.
Grier at the formers home on
Kings Highway from three to
five. The return of a number
of families to town and in other
places from the nearby re-
sorts, the tea will afford a COM
ing together of many friends
who have been absent, one
from another, all summer.
These hostesses are very cor
dial in their greeting and very
gracious in their homes aid
the party will prove a success
from any angle. OF course it
will be over by the time you
have received this letter but
there will be much to be told
about who was there and what
she had done with the summer
vacation and where the chill
dren will go to school this fall.
Interesting and friendly and
makes for a good lime.
Mrs. l. Dolphus Short is
planning a bridge luncheon for
Wednesday of next week, to be
given at the Dinner Bell Inn
at RehOboth and many friends
from here will be going down
for another delightful after
noon with a good hostess and
friends. Mrs. Short has return
ed to town after spending the
summer at her cottage with
her mother, Mrs. William G.
Taylor.
The fall is beginning to get
busy for those members of the
Officers Wives Club who live
in town. Tomorrow is the first
fall luncheon at the Dover Air
Base and a number of ladies
from here will attend. Mrs.
Paul Coscarelli is treasurer Of
the organization and has been
busy for some time compiling
lists of members who not only
live here but are scattered
about in many of the surround
ing towns. Beside the lunch
con there is to be a style show,

New Margaret Romance
Making Progress Quietly

LONDON. Jan. Is (NANA) -
The matrimonial sweepstakes
centered on Britain's Princess
Margaret is getting under way
once more-but discreetly this
time. The new favorite. whose
chances are backed by the
hardening opinion of the ma
tons social tycoons, is William
Billy Wallace.
Mr.. Wallace. 90, rich. a polo
player and stepson of an Ameri-
can newsman, is linked to the
Princess-and to her family
by a developing chain of evil
dence. including home-and-home
visits. Even with these indica-
tive facts aside, he has outlasted
all rivals and been closer to
Margaret than all but one of
her other boy friends.
The Earl of Dalkeith and Lord
Porchester, to mention Just two
of the ex-suitors, have gotten
themselves married. AS to ex-
Royal Air Force Capt. Peter
Townsend-the world heard all
about it when he left the Prin-
cess side on an Raj assignment
to Brussels which led to his
semi-permanent departure from
England.
In contrast to the much-over-
publici2ed Townsend courtShip,
the Wallace affair is distinctly
on the quiet SIDE. Mr.. Wallace,
stepson of Herbert Agar, former
editor of the Louisville ky
Courier-Journal, has been miss
ing from his usual haunts for
the last month. Nor has he been
seen with any girl friends other

Associate Says
He Suspected
Accused Doctor

EASTBOURNE. England, Jan.
10 GA medical associate of
DR.. John Bodkin Adams said to-
day Adams would not allow a
rich widow he is accused of
poisoning to be moved to a hos
pital.
DR.. Ronald v. Harris testi-
fed he told DR.. Adams of his
suspicion that Mrs. Gertrude
Hullett was suffering from an
overdose of drugs.
HE said this was not possible, -
DR.. Harris told the five justices
of the peace holding a prelim-
mary hearing into charges that
Adams poisoned for profit.
The 57-year-old society doctor
is appearing before a magis-
trate's tribunal on the formal
charge that he murdered an
other of his rich elderly patients.
The prosecution also accuses him
of killing Mrs. Hullett and her
husband out of greed for
money"
Benefits From Wills
Adams benefited from the
wills of all three.
DR.. Harris said he first saw

Mrs. Hullett three days before
her death last July in answer
to an emergency call because
DR.. Adams was not available.
Il found her in a comatose
state and she could not be
Iroused." he testified.
DR.. Harris said he consulted
later with Adams and asked
him about the possibility of an
overdosage> of drugs"
He said this was not posi-
Die," DR.. Harris related. Il asked
him what he considered the
diagnosis was and he suggested
cerebral hemorrhage."
Also scheduled to testify today
was the coroner who held the in
quest into Mrs. Hullett's death
last summer. The prosecution
wants to ask him about a miss
ing 1.000-pound $4,000 check
which Scotland Yard says Mrs.
Hullett gave Adams just before
she died.
The missing check was last
seen at an inquest last August
conducted by Coroner A. c. SOM
imerville.
Other Information Sought
Prosecutor Melford Stevenson
said he also wanted to question
Mr.. Sommerville about tele-
phone call the coroner received
from DR.. Adams late one night
last July.

coroner he was not satisfied

B-36s began in 194S and con-

Serious Problem Faced
From the beginning, the Air
Force has faced serious prob
lem in Transforming the stra-
teglc bombers into the jet age.
The problem of flying 10000
miles with a 10000 pound load
on jet engines wasn't nearly so
simple, since the jet engine uses
roughly twice as much fuel as
the piston engine.
More weight is required and
at one time the prototype B-52
was pushing up toward $780,
900 pounds. However. by use OF
engines of greater economy and
recognizing that a handful of
atomic bombs weighing only a
few thousand pounds is infinitely
more destructive than conven-
tional bombs and by making ar
rangements for in-flight fuel
ing, the obstacles were oversome.
Now the experts having solved
these problems of the jet age.
are trying to decide what to do
with those old B-36s-the worlds
first intercontinental atomic
bomber.

asked if the coroner could ar
range a private post mortem.
When the coroner asked when
the patient died, DR.. Adams was
quoted by police as replying,
"she hasn't died yet"
The coroner reportely said he
was so surprised he sat up in bed
and asked the physician why he
was calling about a death that
had not yet taken place. The
prosecution quoted DR.. Adams as
replying that the death was ex-
pected and he wished to know
the procedure.
DR.. Adams is charged for
mally only with the murder of
Mrs. Edith Morrell. But the
prosecution says it also will prove
he killed Alfred j. Hullett and his
widow.
Died Of Pill Overdose
An inquest conducted by Mr..
Sommerville last August found
that Mrs. Hullett committed
suicide by taking an overdose
of sleeping pills prescribed by
DR.. Adams. The prosecution
charges he drove her to the
deed by giving her progressively
larger overdoses of narcotics.
Scotland Yard claims the ply
stefan got rid of Mr.. Hullett last
March by giving him a lethal
dose of morphine and received
500 pounds Isl, 400 from the
ailing. 71-year-old mans will.
Authorities say when Mrs.
Hullett went to her grave four
months after her husband, the
doctor got the now missing
1,000-pound check and a Rolls
Royce.
