He sold out the hope of the worhT for 30 pieces of silver, when today he might have barterled for 50,000 ounces on so small la thing as abuse of the trust of u national congregation." Johnson expressed confidence that his friends In the priesthood "will bear me out when I say I think we have here a prostitution of their Holy office, u violation of vows and degradation of the teachings of Jesus Christ." Johnson spoke at a. dinner given by editors of Red Book Magazine. Washington, Mar. 5. —<U.R) —Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson's attack was “an- i other Baruch trick," Sen. Huey P. Long said today.

STUDENT KILLS GIRL ANO SELF College Youth Stays Campus Sweetheart, Commits Suicide Oakland, Cal., Mai. 3. — tU.R) — Fears of a college youth that fam ily objections would separate him from his campus sweetheart prompted a suicide-slaying on the grounds of exclusive Mills college here, notes left behind by the couple indicated today. The victims of the double shooting were Jean Marie Stable, 23, Oakland, a student at Mills, and Walter A. Morris. 24, Palo Alto, a student at San Jose State college. Apparently Norris killed the girl, then himself. In his automobile parked near by was found a note which read, “Jean, 1 love you." it was not finished. But in his pockets police found , another note, addressed to his mother. It said: “Dear mama: It Is 6:15 p. m. Jean will meet me in 15 minutes. Dear girl, I love her. It is all her 1 parents’ fault, her papa and mama. She loves me—don’t forget I love ! you, too. Bury ine next to papa. Jean said she always wanted a grave alongside mine. 1 love you. | too. We will be waiting for you. ! Walter.” I In another pocket was an unsigned note in feminine handwriting. apparently that of Miss Stable. An excerpt read: "1 wish 1 could always hold the feeling thut everything is all right that 1 always have when I am with you. 1 told you why my family had turned against you. 1 wish you could explain things to my dad the way you did to me. Things look pretty dark now but I’m sure the sun will shine through.'’ A pedestrian found the couple near the college gymnasium. Tho girl was dead, shot twice through the left breast. Norris died soon

after from a wound in the temple. | Authorities were mice rtui n whether tho girl, realizing the | hopelessness of their romance, had entered into a pact with her sweetheart to end both their lives. There were no signs of a struggle where tho bodies lay. The girl was lying on her side, Norris on his back a iii ii W. A. Dill'' heard the shots und found them. O'"' ■ BRYCE THOMAS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE "America’s Future Lies in He Yonth." He -said, "Our generation has literally made a mess of things. We started a World War, we have caused a great depression, end have started a great unrest generally. It Is the youth of the nation that must lead the country out of this jumble. "The Boy Scout movement, 25 years old this year, will undaubtedly play a great part in the shaping ■;f youth chracter to meet the great demands which will made on this generation. In the past 25 years, more tiiian 6,000,060 boys have been i trained in scouting. Os this number, countless scouts have plnted millions of trees, have put out hundreds of forest fires, aided in flood and-tornado relief, and thousands of pec pie owe their lives to scouts trained in first aid. ' “But those services rendered by scouts are just by-products of the international movement. Scouting , In all its phases, builds character, gives the boy a backbone, and helps keep his straight in his daily life." At the business meeting before the 'ltanquet L. H- Moore was reelected president of the council, Otto Mai'shrens, treasurerandJudge Sol A. Wood, commissioner. Vicepresidents are <’. H. Kimmel, of Kendallville, Carl Bimel of Portland, Bryce Thomas of Decatur, Dr. Truman Caylor of Bluffton and Earl Groth. John R. McKay, chairman of the rea camping committee was awarded the Silver Heaver. A bronze scout statuette was given John Smeltzer, commtesioner of Allen county for his services in scouting.
