Wisconsin dairy farmers sent him a half-ton chunk, of it today, t’pd in silk ribbons, decorated with vellow chrysanthemums. drawn bv •A white horses, delivered bv five lovely girls and supervised by Miss Tmogene Powell, advance agent, de luxe. For weeks the business of giving tin piece of cheese to the President has kept Miss Powell so busy she hasn't had time to eat all the (hoese she'd like. eta etan vshrdl u cheese she'd like, although he did hare a bite of it at dinner last night, Worst Act to Comp Ihe worst is vpt to eome. Shp must bp present at the ceremony before the portico of the executive mansion to prevent Presidential Secret arv Marvin n Mclntyre from slicing a piece of himself when he attempts to slice a piece of cheese for Mr. Roosevelt. I hat, should be a dramatic moment when Mclntyre dives into the 1 250-pound rheddar with a patent silver-wire cheese knife to the accompaniment of mo\ ie cameras < licking and flashlights booming while the handsome Miss Pow'ell stands by with first-aid restoratives. Slicing Giant Task ■Slicing a cheese as big as this one is a difficult task, calling for superlative skill and Herculean strength. Miss Powell isn’t sure about, Mclntyre, but she hopes he possesses both. Barring accidents, she figures he’ll hack ofT a 50-pound hunk to carry inside for the President The rest of the cheese will be given to charity, on the theory that after the White House staff eats the 50 pounds it, won’t be hungry for cheese, any more. Os course you understand (hr White House eats lots of cheese."! Miss Powell said. "Thp President,' is a great lover of ehee.se. So is his ; wife Why, two years ago Mrs. Roosevelt announced in honor of National Cheese Week that she was | serving cheese at the most formal dinner of the year. For the Supreme Court judges, I think it was."

Made at Weyauwega, Wis, Mr. Roosevelt's cheese is worth 24 cents a pound, or S.IOO. Raymond Patton made it at Weyauwega, Wis., from ,iOOO quarts of milk. Then the National Cheese Institute of Plymouth, Wis., shipped it down here Miss Powell put it in a warehouse, under armed guard. She also boriowed the white horses from a local dairy. As for National Cheese Week and the National Cheese Institute, Miss Powell said they were children of the depression. There was a 40.-000.000-pound surplus of cheese a couple of years ago, so the Governor of Wisconsin called the Governors of all the other 31 cheese states into conference at Des Moitvs to consider ways and means. An unknown genius among them thought up National Cheese Week. It worked fine. There isn't any surplus this year, but Miss Powell said the cheese men decided to hold National Cheese Week anyway.

BEAUTY BARES NEW CLEW IN LOVE SLAYING •I'm Feverish—Mad About You,' She Wrote: Authorities See Smashed Idyll. By United Peru NEW YORK. Nov. 14.—Letters i beautiful Vera Stretz wrote Dr. Fritz Gebhardt. her 43-year-old lover who flew with Von Richthofen in the World War and was friend to royalty, gave police anew clew today to the reason she killed him Monday morning. The letters will be presented to a grand jury today when the district attorney seeks a first-degree murder indictment against her. Notes and radiograms that flew between the sweethearts du. mg frequent separations indicated to psychiatrists that the young blond college graduate planned the slaying. and probably suicide as a spartan end to a love affair headed for rocks. "Your Picture—Myself" "Dear Fritz." she wrote during a separation last summer, "your new house awaits you. Already parts of you are here: The red roses, your picture—myself. "I am so sick and would so much like to talk to you. Fritz, it is so bad for you to leave me alone longing for you. Perhaps after we are married 50 years it will still be the same. . “I'm feverish, I'm mad about you ” Investigators of strange quirks of the human mind, the psychiatrists; called by baffled detectives to help learn why Gebhardt was killleri. said that letter betrayed a depth of passion in the slim, shapely Miss Stretz unsuspected by friehds who knew her as a circumspect, studious, though beautiful, school teacher. Then they took another note, in which she apparently intended to tell Gebhardt not to speak to his wife in Karlsruhe. Germany, about divorce, and concluded she had realized the improbability of happiness with a man who had a wife and two nearly adult daughters. To End Idyll? Thp net theory was that she planned to end an idyll by killing him. then herself. She executed the first part by shooting Gebhardt in his luxurious apartment early Tuesday. The fact he was clad in a nightgown and; that she had a silk night dress in j her handbag when captured a few: minutes later indicated she had ■spent the early part of the night with him. If she had planned suicide she either lost her nerve or was prevented by her almost immediate capture on a stairway of the building.
