League Sets Meeting for Study Plans

Women Voter's Chairmen To Map Course For Year.

Plans for next year's schedule of study by local Women Voters’ Leagues will be mapped by the recently appointed program department chairmen at a meeting Thursday at Peru. Mrs. Richard Edwards will be hostess. Attending the meeting will be Mrs. Clarence E. Merrell, newly elected president; Mrs. S. N. Campbell, first vice president; Mrs. Leonard A. Smith, foreign policy department chairman; Mrs. James L. Murray, education department chairman; Mrs. Lester Smith, newly appointed chairman of the department of government and its operation, and Miss Mary Sinclair, executive secretary, all of Indianapolis. Mrs. Don Datisman, Gary, economic welfare department head, and Mrs. Psul R. Ford, Kokomo, legal status of women department chairmen, are also to be present.

Miss Florence Kirklin, former ex- {

ecutive secretary of the Indiana League and now Congressional secretarv of the National League, was one of three League representatives to appear before the House Judiciary Committee at Washington to urge full sufirage for the District ol Columbia. Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin, vice president in charge of legislation. and Mrs. R. Gordon Wagenet. child welfare department chairman of also went before mittee.

Marguerite M. Wells, National Leacue president, issued a statement, explaining the league stand on this question of ‘the inalienahle right” of the citizens of the national capital to a “voice in the management of national affairs and to control of their local affairs.” Miss Wells’ statement specified that such suffrage should not only include representation in both houses of Congress and a vote for the President and Vice President, but also a vote on local government of the District of Columbia now administered by Congress. Because the national capital has been the only place in the United States deprived of a vote, the local branch of the league in the District of Columbia has been designated as “The Voteless League of Women Voters.” The long campaign of the “Voteless League” for suffrage has been a factor in at least arousing enough public sentiment on the subject to secure the Congressional hearing at which the league committee appeared. At the St. Louis convention, members of this “Voteless League” pointed out that an amendment te the Constitution of the United States, involving ratification by

[Lobster on Engagement Party Menu

Guests Come for Food as Well as Wedding Announcement.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

Love is in the soft spring air. Isn't it time for an announcement party? Invite your friends to a surprise luncheon or supper. Plan your menu with loving care and at the right moment broadcast the glad tidings. You might announce your engagement by the use of special place cards at the table with the two names inscribed in - interlocking hearts. Very sentimental, of course, but then, why not? Or you might make the announcement by the “publication” of a miniature society page in a newspaper, or else by attaching cards bearing the names of the bride-and-groom-to-be to narrow pastel satin ribbon streamers from a bride's corsage bouquet. ’ However, don't forget that you have invited your guests not only to hear about your coming wedding, but also to enjoy a luncheon or supper, Here is a suggestion for the menu for the occasion-— Cream of mushroom soup, toast sticks, baked stuffed lobster, Idaho potato chips, jellied fresh vegetable finger rolls,

double icing

strawberries, or heart cake decorated with

| It's alwavs an honor, never a pleas-

retary to the first Mrs. Woodrow Wilson She brought a new element into the controversy between eminent social secretaries of Washington. Mrs. Helm said the one immutable rule is that one “accepts the honor of the very kind invitation” of the President and his lady (whatever her name), rather than “accepts with pleasure the very kind invitation.” Miss Mary Randolph, formerly social secretary to Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, had maintained that the name of the President and his lady

invited, as: “The honor of the invitation of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt is and Mrs. John Smith.” Miss Ann Squire, social secretary to Mrs. Henry Morgenthau Jr., wife of the secretary of the Treasury, and author of a book on Washington social usage, maintained that the proper form is: “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith have the honor to accept the very kind invitation of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.” Mrs. Roosevelt herself thought any courteous response is usable, and doesn't worry about whose name comes first. Mrs. Helm sided with Miss Randolph.

The Japanese dropped 50 bombs today. Three blocks of houses were leveled. Weeping women and men searched through the debris for members of their families. Others carried off meager belongings salvaged from the wreckage, Black smoke billowed over the city from many points, particularly the Wongsha station section which apparently was the chief objective of the attack Saturday and Sunday. Today's raid concentrated on the Government buildings in Kinyuan. Schools Are Hit

The raiders dropped 60 bombs yesterday. Hits were scored on the provincial garrison headquarters, homes, shops and schools. Forty students were killed when the municipal primary school was hit by a bomb. Twelve bombs were dropped in the Tungshan residential area, damaging eight mansions. Three hit the campus of the Sun Yat-sen University on the eastern side of the city. Authorities said it was impossible to give an accurate estimate of casualties because many victims were buried in the smouldering debris of the densely populated and widely scattered sections of the city. Consular circles said, however, that today's casualties probably were as high as those of yesterday A great exodus from the city was under way, Small river boats and trains were packed with refugees.

The Sudeten Germans, as was expected, increased their strength except in the town of Stecken bei Iglau where two seats were lost in the Town Council to the Government party.

arrival of J. Edgar Hoover who was |

in New York City when the body was found, but Walter Ferris, Westchester County District Attorney, reported after a preliminary examination that “it was a clear case of murder.”

Mr. Levine—who had offered $25.- |

000 for the return alive of his son— was out of town with his wife when the body was found but on his return here said he was satisfied with the identification and would not view the body. Mrs. Levine was described by agents as “all broken up.” Borie of the clinching factors in the identification was the discovery in the trouser pockets of a jackknife and a toy airplane known to have been in the boy's possession when he was last seen outside of Albert Leonard Junior High School 95 days ago. The body was still clad in the brown corduroy trousers and sweater bearing the Indian head insignia of Camp Wigwam which the boy attended. Federal agents made several mysterious calls during the night but refused to disclose any details of the investigation. It was learned, however, that some agents believe the body was weighted down when thrown into the bay and that the weights had broken loose. It was pointed out that almost from the very first Federal investigators have proceeded on the theory the boy was concealed on a barge or boat by the kidnapers.

Amateurs’ Work Seen

One agent hinted that the slaying appeared to be the work of amateurs in kidnaping, thus reviving reports that the abduction had been carried out by a band of lottery racketeers hard-pressed for cash and misled by the large Levine house into the belief the boy was a scion of wealth.” Actually, Mr. Levine, once prosperous, is in only moderate circumstances and had difficulty raising the ransom funds. The Levine boy was kidnaped— possibly by three strange men in a blue sedan observed near his school —as he was on his way home from classes. He was last seen by a schoolmate, Eugene Billik, 12, as he turned a corner from the school That was the afternoon of Feb. 24.

For four days Mr. Levine, vice pres- |

ident of the ORT, an organization which helps oppressed Jews, denied emphatically the boy had been

| kidnaped, although an eight-state

alarm for him had been sent cut, Because Peter was an imaginative boy, filled with ideas of adventure, it was assumed by neighbors that Mr. Levine beliéved the boy had merely wandered off. Four days later Mr. Levine pub-

An official statement said three were Killed, four wounded and four houses badly damaged. (The London Exchange graph estimated 20 killed.)

Abraham Nowak of New Rochelle received a telephone call to look for a note in a vacant lot near his synagogue. His secretary found it and this note, too, seemed to be authentic. A day iater the Rev. Francis J. H. Coffin, rector of fashionable St. John’s Episcopal Church, was told by telephone where to find another note. This, the third and last au-

Tele-

thenticated contact with the kid- | napers, bore the original symbol and specified a rendezvous. The abductors did not keep the appointment. Mr. Levine revealed later that all three notes apparently were written on the same toy typewriter and that on one of them his son had written in longhand: “Dear Dad—Please give these men the money. I have a bad cold.” The note received by Rabbi Nowak demanded $60,000 in worn bills but the others asked $30,000 and Mr. Levine repeatedly begged the Kkidnapers by radio and public statement to come forward in some way and claim the money.

Pleads for Mercy

Many fake ransom notes were received by the family and at least six “ransom chiselers”—three of whom have received jail sentences —were placed under arrest. Mr. Levine made an appeal for leniency for two of those convicted in New

Lending credence to the theory that the kidnapers were amateurs was their failure to establish contact with Rabbi Nowak and the Rev. Mr. Coffin on trips when both were unguarded and in a position to pay over the ransom money. Peter was a brilliant student and unusually observant. This trait
