AGENTS ARE BAFFLED IN CO-ED SLAYING Miss Schertnerhorn’s Intrusion on Indian Rites Possible Motive. By United Press WHITE RIVER. Ariz., July 29. Federal authorities investigating the mysterious slaying of Henrietta Schmerler, Columbia university coed, admitted today that they were baffled completely. After five days of intensive investigation since the girl’s body was found on the Apache Indian reservation in a rugged canyon seven miles from here, federal agents said they were nowhere near a solution. Although every Apache in the state has been under suspicion, officers admitted the possibility that an Indian was not guilty. A possible motive for the crime, it was said, was seen in the fact that Miss Schmerler, an anthropology student, had witnessed dances and chants sacred to the Indians. Those who know the Apaches said that to intrude upon their tribal ceremonies was a dangerous pastime. F. ArHETHERINGTON'S ESTATE IS $90,000 Valuable Paintings by State Artists Are Left to Heirs.

WAGE FIGHT TO SAVEJUFFALOS Texans Call on Governor to Prevent Hunt. By United Press CANYON. Tex., July 29.—Oldtimers of the wild Texas frontier of bygone days donned their fighting clothes again today, intent upon saving the few remaining descendants of the former roaming ruler of the plains—the buffalo. With the recent announcement that the famous buffalo herd on the Goodnight ranch would be slaughtered in a. huge hunt this fall, opposition began to form. Today a fast-growing campaign was being waged by civic organizations and individuals who recalled something of the glory that once was the buffalos. The Canyon Chamber of Commerce joined civic bodies of nearby towns in an appeal to Governor Ross S. Sterling to save at least part of the herd. The buffalos are privately owned. Once they were the pride of the late Colonel Charles C. Goodnight. In recent years, however, they have multiplied so rapidly that present owners of the ranch decided upon the hunt.

‘Model’ Boys Kill Cop

. •• : v-: -x v .

Social workers are puzzled by the strange case of these two Oakland (Cal.) boys, until a few weeks ago model high school students, who now face charges of murder and robbery. Joseph Gasparich, left, and Louis Downs, right, say they turned bandits to finance themselves at a military training camp and to buy books.

MARIE AND POLLY GO IN FOR CITY POLITICS Two Famous Movie Funmakers Show Municipal Dads That Petticoat Ruler Can Run Any Old Town. PICKING a chicken may mean just housework to some women, but to Marie Dressier it meant her first act before a camera after her promotion to full-fledge stardom. For this is how she first is disclosed in “Politics,” the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer comedy in which she and Polly Moran romp through the mazes of a municipal election. The new picture will come Saturday to the Palace.

“husband strike” to make the men fall into line—and rides to official triumph amide raids and recriminanations, thrills and even a few heart-throbs. Essentially comedy, the story Las its dramatic moments, giving Miss Dressier an opportunity for some of the character interpretation that marked her roles in “Anna Christie” or “Min and Bill,” together with antics more suggesting “Caught Short” and “Reducing.” Incidentally, the director of the latter two pictures, Charles F. Riesner, filmed the new production. . A notable cast appears, William Bakewell and Karen Morley have the leading juvenile roles, and John Mil j an, polished villain of the screen, plays the sinister gangster political ruler. Rosco Ates, stuttering comedian of “The Big House,” is seen as Miss Moran’s husband, and other important roles are played by Joan Marsh, Tom McGuire, Kane Richmond and Mary Alden. The program will include the newest issue of the Hearst Metrotone News, Walt Disney’s Krazy Kat in “Lambs Will Gamble,” a Grantland Rice Sport novelty entitled “Younger Years,” and an interesting subject by Dr. Raymond L Ditmar on “The Animal World of Make Believe.” Indianapolis theaters today offer: Shaw’s “The Apple Cart,” at English’s; Jim and Walt at the Lyric; “The Great Lover” at the Palace,

RUSSIA'S HUGE TRACTOR PLANT IS COMPLETED 50,000 Machines a Year Is Capacity of Soviet’s New Industry. BY EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW. July 29—A vital factor in Soivet Russia's farm program was the announcement today of the completion of the Kharkov tractor plant. This vast industry has an ultimate capacity of $50,000 tractors a year. Soviet engineers said production would begin Oct. I. Tractors will be turned out for use on millions of acres In the nation’s great grain sowing program next spring. The Soviet press hailed the end of the construction phase as a great victory for the five-year plan It especially was emphasized that th* work was completod three months earlier than stipulated in the original plans. The plant, however, will be badly in need of qualified workers and administrators unless the hundreds needed can be trained quickly to fit into jobs, officials admitted Groups of experienced men from other factories will be sent to Kharkov. Skilled American mechanics and engineers, as usual, will help operate the plant at the outset. However, the Soviet nation has become practically independent of foreign countries in the matter of such mechanical products as motors. Air-cooled aviation motors. 300 and 400-horse power, are being made in Soviet factories. They are said to be as good as any of the same type available abroad. The authorities also claim by the end of the year 42.000 kilometers, or about 25.000 miles of airlines for passenger and freight services will be in operation in the Soviet union.
