§TH ‘BLUEBEARD' VICTIM SOUGHT

Police Believe Woman Who Disappeared 2 Months Ago Was Killed.

PARIS, Dec. 13 (U. P.).—A blond Alsatian woman known as Janine Berst, who disappeared two months ago, today was believed to have been the sixth victim in the rapidly swelling death list of the macahre “Bluebeard” murderer of Saint Cloud, 29-year-old Eugene Weidmann. Police ordered grave-diggers to spade up the garden in Weidmann’s pleasant villd, near where the body of pretty Jean De Koven of Brooklyn, first victim in Weidmann’s career of murder for money, was found last week, to determine whether the Berst woman was

"buried there.

They now believe the strange “murder syndicate” that supposedly lured victims to their death by means ©f Weidmann’s “hypnotic eyes,” was responsible for at least 10 and perhaps a dozen murders. Weidmann: sat calmly in his jail cell at Saint Pierre Prison, formerly

. occupied by Henri Desire Landru,

the who butchered women he lured to

infamous “Paris Bluebeard”

g his home 16 years ago, and waited

for police to uncover new victims in the gruesome trail of killings. Police found part of a woman's dress, marked }“Janine,” at the Villa La Voulzie where Miss De Koven’s body was dug from a shallow grave. Investigation led over a curious trail to Strasbourg, where a man named Keller reported his wife, Mme. Jeanne Keller, had left home last September.

ISLAID TO A.F.L.

Causes NLRB to Modify Its Decisions, C. I. 0. Aid Charges:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (U. PJ). —The C. 1. O. charged the National Labor Relations Board today with modifying the trend of its decisions because of “saber rattling” by the rival A. F. of L. The attack was made in a letter by E. J. Lever, Philadelphia and Northern New Jersey field director for C. 1. O.,, which was made public by Labor Board officials. Specifically, Mr. Lever said the Board had evidenced an inclination to respond to Federation complaints that its craft unions were being ignored by the Board. He accused

+ the Board of “trimming” its de-

cisions “in direct proportion to the amount of noise made by the A, FP, of ‘L. executive council.”

Posts on 100-Man Policy Board.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, (U. P.). ~The names’ of a score of Democrats who deserted President Roosevelt in the 1936 elections will be submitted as: potential members of a 100-man committee to plot the rehabilitation of the Republican

party which is to be named by 23 executives of the Republican National Committee in St. Louis this week. Meantime, it was understood that former President Herbert Hoover has no intention of amplifying his recent statement that he. is seeking no public office, as a result of former Governor Landon’s declaration on Friday that he (Landon) would not accept the Republican Presidential nomination in 1940 even if

Landon Leaves For N. Y.

Mr. Landon departed late today for New York where he is expected to confer with Eastern Republican leaders before returning to his Kansas home. He came here to attend the winter dinner of the Gridiron Club held last night and used the visit as a vehicle for conferences with congressional Republicans. Also taking part in the conferences was Col. Frank Knox, Mr. Landon’s running mate last year, who declared that he is “utterly out of politics as a candidate.” The meetings disclosed a unanimity of feeling among the conferees on strategy that should be Tollowed in plotting for a long-term rehabili tation drive and for the more immediate Congressional elections next year, Mr. Landon opposed the project and will not attend the St. Louis meeting. Rep. Joseph ‘W. Martin (R. Mass.) who was Mr. Landon’s Eastern compaign manager, and scores of other Republicans likewise fought the proposal. But House Minority Leader Bertrand Snell of New York, and Senate Republicans,

mont, heartily endorsed the plan.

Count Ciano’s telegram was concise.
