THE VETERAN

Which Comes First Is Issue As Dienhart Seeks Old Airport Job.

(Continued From Page One)

“A veteran's pights transcend politics. If we civilians don’t want to take care of returning veterans, than we aren't good citizens. “I feel keenly about this jobs-for-returning - veterans veteran shouldn’t have to go to law

to see what’ to do about getting his

old job back.” ’ Mr, -Dienhart wrote to Mayor Tyndall shortly after he was given a medical discharge from the navy. He asserted he was encouraged to apply for his old job by the unanimous vote of Tippecanoe. county selective service board No. 1 at Lafayette, where the former city employee is registered. He said the board has assumed the - responsibility. of getting back his job, Jesse BE. Brudi, board clerk, disclosed he had written to Larry A. Parsons, city personnel director, in behalf of Mr. Dienhart, 2 “Mr. Parsons in his letter says Mr. Dienhart is a politician, . He also promises to find some sort of job for Mr, Dienhart,” the clerk declared. Await Dienhart Word

“This board is awaiting further word from Mr, Dienhart at Indianapolis before deciding what to do. It probably will refer the matter to state selective service headquarters.” The clerk said he understood the intent of the law was to guarantee return of every ex-serviceman to his’ former job or one comparable to it. Mr, Brudi said the original selective training and service act and the G. I bill of rights cover the subject. B. Howard Caughran, U. 8. district attorney, was unable to recall having handled a case of this nature involving a unit gf government. He said he has had several such cases referred to him, but they all involved an unwillingness of business firms to re-hire - certain veterans. Mr. Caughran declared it has been his policy to refer all cases to national selective. service headquarters, where an amicable settlement is attempted. He -has never had sush a case in court, Mr, Caughran added. He asserted nothing yet has been referred to him relative to Mr. Dienhart’s case. ve

Service Act Quoted

Included in -the selective service act of 1940 is a provision that “if such person (an inductee) was in the employ of any state or political subdivision thereof, it is hereby declared to be the sense of. the congress that such person should be restored to such position or to a position of like seniority, status and pay.” City officials, including Mr. Parsons, contend that Mr. Dienhart left the airport position voluntarily

and was not drafted.

Mayor Tyndall had no comment, leaving the matter entirely to Mr. Parsons and city legal aids. The latter, Mr. Parsons said, have advised him that municipalities are not included in the G. 1. Bill of

Rights.

sleeping tablets. A few hours earlier she had discussed her approaching motherhood with two friends. Then she told her secretary she would proceed with plans for a series of public appearances-in the -East. The curtain fell suddenly on the role of the professional “hellcat” who was educated in a convent, Miss Velez played her final scene with death as she refused to live —quietly, No tinsel. No tantrums. No tears, Calmly she wrote two notes, They told of a heart shattered by love for an unborn baby ‘she refused to bear in shame and bitterness toward the man who was its father.

Then she sank quietly into a deep slumber—never to awaken,

Autopsy Performed

Her body was taken to the Forest Lawn Memorial Park for an autopsy. Doctors verified her approaching motherhood and pronounced her a suicide. Attendants said today they were waiting Jor someone to claim the body. A sister, Mrs. Josephine Anderson, was expected from San Antonio, Tex. Miss Velez’ mother was ill at San Luis Potosi, Mex, The actress’ will left an estate valued af between $100,000 and $200,000 to her secretary, Mrs. Beulah Kinder, and her family.. Miss Velez tdlked of her baby to her last callers, Estelle Taylor, former wife of Jack Dempsey, -and

— Mrs—dnck—Oakie-— Then, 40min

utes later at 4 a. m. yesterday, she said goodnight to the two. She talked briefly to her secretary. Then retired to her bedroom. She put on a pair of robin’s egg blue silk pajamas.

Writes Two Notes

She wrote two notes, one to her secretary and one to her ‘sweetheart, Harold Ramond. They were tucked under the nearly-empty sleeping tablet bottle. The actress then slipped into the mammoth silk-sheeted bed.

A little over five hours later her body was found by Miss Kinder, Ramond, 27, an Austrian-born French actor, said he was asfounded. “If she was to have a child,” he [said, “I cannot understand why ;she broke our engagement. She nad told me we were going to have a child and I was very happy. I loved her very much and wanted to marry her, “We just couldn't agree on the date. Baturday she told me she was not going to have a child and asked for her ring back—the one she had given me to measure for a wedding ring.”

Last Scene Tinsel or Tears

The note she left for Ramond said: } “To Harold: i : “May God forgive you and fortgive- me too; but-I prefer to-take my life away and my baby’s before $ {1 bring him with shame or kill him. : {How could you, Harold, fake such great love for me and our baby ‘when all the time you didn’t want ‘us. . .. Love. Lupe.” /

Her manager, Bo Roos, said Ra{mond had proposed a mock cere- | mony, | “We who loved her can be grate- | ful for one thing — the way she {chose to die,” Roos said. “She just |went to sleep.” The ‘note to the "secretary, Miss Kinder, said:

“You and you alone know the [facts and the reason why I am taking my own life. Forgive me and don’t think bad of me. - ..” The public, long accustomed to Miss Velez’ violent outbursts, little Y suspected the pious side of her na- S ture which led her to suicide rather than shame for an infant. She was {reared in a convent. | - Throughout her stormy life she found refuge in prayer and hurried trips to the small Mexican town where her mother lived.

‘Tarzan’ No Match

Johnny Weissmuller, star of the “Tarzan” movie thrillers, was no imatch. for the volatile Lupe at her tempestuous best. More than once during their marriage he showed up at the studio with a patch on his head after disagreeing with her. “Without fights,” she said, “there is no love.” ! Two weeks ago she » announced she would marry Ramond. “Harold knows how to handle me. I've always been used to controlling men, but I try it with Harold and he tells me where to go.” Then last Saturday she announced it was all over and that Harold had told her where to go for the last time. She blamed a political argument.
