KISS SLAYER IS UNMOVED Schoolboy Not Bothered by Murder Warrant. By United Press PORT RICHMOND, N. Y., Nov. 6. —Vincent Rice, the 17-year-old schoolboy who admitted killing his sweetheart, Alice Joost, because she tried to kiss him, seemed unperturbed today over the first degree murder indictment returned against him. “How long will I have to serve if I am found guilty?” he asked one of his guards. The question was asked several hours after the youth had been advised of the indictment, and it was the only interest he showed. He spends most of his time in his prison cell reading. Defense attorneys expect to present an insanity defense. It is probable the trial will not begin until December. The girl’s mother, when told of the indictment against the youth, said only: “If he is guilty, the law’ will take care of him." Head River Commission Pit rPress WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.—Major S. Reinecke.

However, the house committee on appropriations clearly indicated its desire that the Bear not be retained and eliminated all funds carried in the estimates for the maintenance of the vessel. Under these circumstances, I feel constrained to recommend that the Bear be stricken from the coast guard list and disposed of.”
