NOT BO LONG ao, Edwin B. Lowell was enjoying the dazzling whitecaps off beach at Honolulu
Now, he is superintendent of the county juvenile ‘detention home, : It sounds like a change fo dullness. But this - man in his thirties doesn't consider the job in that light. He digs into his task with zeal and consuming interest in reducing the number of “repeaters” among the juvenile population here. The slender, reserved Mr. Lowell has accepted what he considers a fascinating challenge. He's been just eight days on the job, for which he was selected on merit and without regard to political afliation. ¢ An examination of his record reveals more than12. years of experience among boys and young men, most of whom were so-called bad actors from the wrong side of the tracks. . A native of Rhinelander, Wis., often regarded by police as “gangster country” full of secret hideouts among the innumerable lakes, the quiet superintendent at an early age developed- more than an ordinary interest ‘in the behavior of human beings. . He was graduated from high school at Madison, Wis. Attending a rival high school was a girl named Ruth. Her first date with the blue-eyed Edwin was at a tense basketball game between the two schools— a shaky start that materialized into marriage and two children, an 8-year-old girl and 5-year-old boy.
A Bit Absent-Minded je
AN ABSENT-MINDEDNESS she noticed then has seemed to grow fainter with the years as Mrs, Lowell admits she has “got used to him.” “Anyway, I guess he’s not od enough for his absent-mindedness to be interesting,” she laughed. The University of Wisconsin awarded Mr. Lowell an A. B. in psychology in the depression-year 1932-— “rough days” the social worker recalls. His studious, introspective manner didn't help him to sell radios in Oklahoma City, Okla., he found, and he almost starved on “straight commission.” A long association with the Chicago Boys clubs began in 1934. He became swimming instructor at the Lincoln club, He was transferred as manager to another district with a high delinquency rate. The area included the site of gangland’'s St. Valentine’s day massacre, Dillinger met his death in this vicinity amid blazing FBI guns. The high rate of misbehavior dropped under the slow smile of young Lowell. In 1942, he joined the American Red Cross as an assistant field director, later being sent to Hawaii ‘as fleld supervisor, ® An assignment to Camp Atterbury closed his “floating activities” with the Red Oross. He became Intake supervisor in the home service department of the Indianapolis chapter,

From the Shoulder
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (U. P.).—Secretary of State George C. Marshall is my kind of diplomat. When he talks it doesn't come out peach-fuzz. 1 can understand his language and this makes him, in my book, a unique statesman. So many reporters came to his first press conference that he held it in the top-story conference room of the state department, where bronze cupids lurk in the corners, the dornices are gold, and the walls are lined with liver and green-colored marble slabs. Into this gay nineties chamber, used in the past mostly for the handing of free fountain pens to diplomats who signed treaties there, the gray-haired Mr. Marshall strode. He looked slightly uncomfortable in. one of his hurriedly tailored double-breasted diplomat suits. When he got here from China he had only one eivilian suit to his name; quickly he had to get a new wardrobe for his forthcoming mission to Moscow.

They found Mr, Hirschhorn, 86, a former star acrobat and animal trainer with the Ringling Brothers circus, frozen to death in his bed. His wife and former partner, Barbara, 72, was outside in the snow, where she apparently had fallen while trying to find help. She was taken to County hospital, unconscious from exposure, and was said to be in critical condition.

Ava said she didn’t feel too well—she looked wonderful in red silk pajamas—and. would I please sit down. Her maid, Marie, brought me a chair (darn it), and Ava coyly pulled a sheet up around her neck, smiled sweetly and apologized for her $180-a-month apartment—“it's a terrible joint”—which she rents from Red Skelton. Ever since seeing Ava in “The Killers,” we have been sure she is the logical successor to Jean Harlow. And now M-G-M thinks so too. She’s due for some tremendcus ballyhoo as Clark Gable’s night-club singer girl-friend in “The Hucksters.” After that, we predict right now, M-G-M will’ start remaking some of those sizzling old HarlowGable pictures, like “Red Dust” and “China Seas,” with Ava and Clark.

When Ava was married to Artie, she said, he insisted she read books like “The Life and Times of Thomas Paine.” ; “He wanted me to improve my mind,” Ava said, “and .I suppose he was right, because I had never done much reading. But one day I bought ‘Forever Amber’ and brought it home. Artie saw it and made me throw it away, saying, ‘I don't want you ever to read such trash'” Ava dismissed Mickey with: “Being married to him was like being married $0 a child.” Ava said she had been reluctant to give interviews

Boy Isn't Sorry About Shooting

He had told Sheriff Frank C. Carpenter he shot his grandfather, Roy ©.
