Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Senator Sherman Minton declared here today that he believes that the Senate Lobby Investigating Committee, of which he is a member, can carry out the proposal of Senator Kenneth McKellar (D., Tenn.) to investigate the Literary Digest poll. “There is no question in my mind but the Black Committee could investigate the Literary Digest poll under its grant of power te look into organs of propaganda,” Senator Minton said. “I have not talked the matter over with -other members of the committee and no meeting date has been set, but undoubtedly Senator McKellar's suggestion will be considered.”

Believe Baby Sent to Them for Guidance’ From Wilderness.
By United Press PEARL RIVER, La. Nov. 12— This community of the Louisiana scrub pine forests massed its resources today to fight for possession of a modern day Moses, destined, the superstitious believed, to lead the indigent but yearning of the countryside from the wilderness. Out of the dreary forest at dusk trotted a large dog who deposited the ragged bundle he was carrying in his mouth, in the clearings around the one-room shanty of Louis E. Crawford, and trotted back into the forest. The bundle contained an eight-day-old baby, large, healthy, with blue eyes, who awed the Crawfords and their neighbors by his serenity.
Taken to Hospital That happened Tuesday night. Wednesday, the authorities of the parish came to the wilderness, and, over the protests of the Crawfords and their neighbors, took the baby across Lake Pontchartrain to the New Orleans Charity Hospital, 40 miles away. Today scores of the poor residents of the pine forests called at the Crawfords, offering what little resources they had, from clothing to money, to repossess the babe that they believed of divine origin intended not for the Crawfords alone but for them all. One of these callers was Sairy Adams, who came with her 10-year-old son. “I wouldn't of let ’em tuck it away from me,” she said reprovingly to Mrs. Crawford. Her son was being playful and she said to him: “Hesh up, bubber,” then continued: “If a dog came and brung me a baby I wouldn't say nothing at all. But I'd know where it came from.” Others pointed out that God could easily create a dog to delivef
~ | |a Messiah. Some prayed for a quick
return of the babe to the pine forest for which, they believed, omnipresent divinity, aware of their lot, had destined him. Mrs. Crawford bemoaned the tragedy to all. Only 24 years old, she is worn and aged by the rigours of her existence. “I didn't have right good sense to let them take that baby,” she said.

THIRD PARTY STARTS FROM LABOR LEAGUE
By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—John
Louisiana Pine Forest ‘Folks’
to Fight for Modern Moses
“I was downright foolish to let him
‘get out of my sight.”
Authorities of St. Tammany par-
ish believed they had discovered the
baby’s origin in the story of Sam Ferguson, a truck driver. Tuesday afternoon, a few hours before the dog appeared in the Crawford clearing, he saw a shabby, weary man and woman plodding along the Bogalusa highway, about a mile from the Crawford shanty. The woman carried a baby. A girl of about three and a large, brindle bull dog trailed along behind. Authorities wired towns along the highway, hoping the couple could be intercepted.
POLICE QUIZ NEW SLAYING SUSPECT
Police today said they were ques--
tioning a Second prisoner in the holdup slaying late Tuesday of Leo T. Billerman, 21, clerk, in the Remmetter drug store, 960 E. Wash-ington-st. They said they arrested Jerry Skaggs, 43, on an assault and battery charge as a result of a stabbing last September and also on a vagrancy charge. He was held in default of $25,000 bond. Police said Skaggs told thém he returned from Cincinnati a few hours before the killing. Authorities worked on the the-ory-that the bandit fired through fear his victim later would identify him. Charles Myers, 32, of 211 S. Da-vidson-st, held for questioning, remained in jail in default of $50,000 bond set by Municipal Judge Charles J. Karabell when he was arraigned on a vagrancy charge. Police are studying chemical analyisis of his gloves and hands to determine if he has discharged a gun recently. Detectives, however, said they were convinced he had nothing to do with the killing.

CHICAGO PASTOR IS I. U, SPEAKER
Treatment of Browder at Terre Haute Criticised by Dr. Gilkey.
Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Nov. 12— Criticising the treatment. of Earl Browder, Communist presidential candidate, in Terre Haute recently, Dr. Charles W. Gilkey, Chicago, yes= terday addressed a record convocation audience in Indiana University Alumni Hall. Dr. Gilkey, who is pastor of the Chicago University chapel, said the fact that a presidential candidate of a party polling not more than 50,000 is greeted with rotten eggs is “an evidence of the decadence of democracy.” “We are a generation that has lost faith in democracy as a great social organization,” declared Dr. Gilkey. “In 1918, they told us the Great War had been a war to preserve democracy; in the 18 years since that time, 19 countries have drowned their democracies in dictatorships.
“Here, in the United States, our
best chances for reviving and rebuilding democracy lie in keeping out of the next terrible war which approaches with dreadful certainty in Europe.” Armistice Day was observed quietly on the university campus, though non-sympathizers tore down a numeber of placards posted by the peace groups.
VETERAN ENDS LIFE PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12.—The sight of his World War buddies marching by in an Armistice Day parade was too much for Sergeant Frank Koenig, who had lived for 18
years in agony from war wounds. }
He killed himself.

“When I saw we were going fo hit I stepped back into the car. The other operator evidently didn’t have a chance to do the same as I did.” Reports that Mr. Grandison was outside his - interurban attempting to throw the switch when the collision occurred were denied by passengers as well as railroad officials. The Cambridge oly dispatcher . Grandison was at the controls. Mr. Ramey said he did not see Mr. Grandison and presumed he was at the interurban’s con Superintendent Brown said Mr. Ramey apparently had made an attempt to regain control of his car as sand was found on the rails. Passengers in both cars were hurled against seats and windows. The cars did not leave the rails. The front end of the east-bound interurban was crushed while th west-bound car was damaged only slightly. Both interurbans - were piloted into Anderson and the line was cleared for traffic by noon.

The outstanding recognition of tthre Nobel prize went to Mr. O'Neill in his forty-eighth year. He was the second American to be honored with’ the Nobel prize for literature, Sinclair Lewis, novelist, having won it in 1931. Mr, O'Neill's personality is as extroardinary as his writing. He remains aloof from social contact. His career in the world staried when he was ousted from Princeton University during his freshman vear for tossing a beer bottle through the window of Woodrow Wilson, then president of the institution. He went to work thereafter in a mail order house. He married first when he was 21, was divorced, and went off to Central America looking for gold and adventure. Later he became a sailor. After wandering about the world he obtained a job as cub reporter on the New London (Conn.) Telegraph. In 1914 he began writing plays.
