PARENTS LOCK GIRL IN BARN FOR 21 YEARS Suffering Minor Skin Disease, Family Thought She Was Leper. Bli Press MOSCOW. Jun* 4 19—A ta]p of ho-w a girl, now 27, has beer, kept in solitary confinement by her parents for twenty-one years, in the belief that she had developed leprosy, was revealed by the police today. The soviet authorities freed the girl, who was suffering a minor skin disease. The girl, despite her youth, was completely gray-haired when discovered, her face was shriveled like that of a very old womaq, and she was half blind and entirely undeveloped mentally. Her parents locked her in a barn twenty-one years ago in the fear that if her disease, believed by them to be leprosy, were discovered, she would be driven from the town with a hurling of stones, as was the custom then This custom still exists in some sections or the country. Soviet authorities seeking information about a crime, heard a voice issuing from the locked barn. The parents finally yielded to demands to open the barn. The astonished officials found what looked like an old woman, crusted with dirt, cowering in the comer of a heap of straw.

Attendance at his son’s wedding to Miss Esther Marie Christensen, above, prominent Cleveland, 0., junior league worker, was more important to Owen D. Young, reparations expert, than informing Washington of details of the reparations pact. He rushed from the Aquitania at New York and caught a train to Cleveland just in time to see MEs Christensen become Mrs. Charles Jacob Young. The son is engaged in experimental work at Schenectady, N. Y., where his father is president of the General Electric Company.

STRANGE PARTY LINEUP DRAWN AGAINST RASKOB Virginia *Hoovercrats' Form Group to Fight Influence of A! Smith. iiu T'nitrti prr ... ROANOKE. Va„ June 19.—The strangest political alignment since the reconstruction days presented itself in Virginia today, as erstwhile “solid south" Democrats and a receptwe Republican party apparently had effected a fusion with the immediate objective of fighting the Influence of Alfred E. Smith and John J. Raskob, and supplanting the present regular state Democratic organization. More ambitious plans for spreading the anti-Smith • doctrine throughout the south also were formulated. Installation of a headquarters in Washington for carrying on the work was approved by the convention. The more than 1,000 ardent antiSmith Democrats assembled at the instigation of Bishop James Cannon Jr„ and a committee of eighteen, closed their one-day “rump’’ con-Ivc-ntion Tuesday night. Accomplishments are listed in part as follows: Nomination of a partial slate, headed by Dr. William Moseiy Brown of Washington and Lee university as the coalition choices to oppose regular state Democratic candidates in the election next fall. Adoption of resolutions demanding the resignation of Raskob as chairman of the Democratic na-

tional committee: the pledging of support to President Hoover in his law enforcement program, and a blanket indictment of the present state administration. Inclusion in the resolution, which serves as a platform for the newlyformed party, of a plank indirectly referring to the recent White House entertainment of a Negro woman at tea by declaring for racial integrity and condemning social contact between whites and Negroes. Resignation of L C. Trotman of Suffolk, a member of the executive committee of the anti-Smith party, in protest against the ignoring of his demands that the convention denounce in unmistakable terms the action of Mrs. Hoover in entertaining Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of a Negro representative. Adoption of a resolution calling for the establishment in Washington of a national anti-Smith organization, with the avowed purpose of encouraging “solid south” states which went Republican in the last election to follow the example of this convention.

WOMEN GUIDE U, MULTURE French Writer Says Men Are Too Busy. Bu Vnited Press PARIS, June 19.—The social and cultural future of the United States is in the hands of the American woman, according to the prize-win-ning articles written by Andre Lafond, editor of the Journal De Rouen. Lafond, a profound observer of American life, found the American woman more sensitive and more cultivated than the American man, who, driven on by economic pressure, has little time in which to develop his finer emotional senses. The editor recently won the Ralph Beaver Strassburger prize awarded annually to the author of articles most calculated to promote FrancoAmerican relations. The articles concluded that only a complete realization of the current separating American men and women, destroying family and encouraging divorce can save the structure of society in the United States—and that this could be done only by the American woman.
