THE HELENA DAILY INDEPENDENT, MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1936 MONTANA fit HOFFMAN IS Trenton, N. Jan. jovernor Harold G. Hoffman himself held the leading mystery role onight in the latest chapter of the jindbergh kidnaping drama. The same quiet movements which his two-months inquiry prior the pardons court hearing a week ago marked his course since lie stayed the execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmanu "for divers reasons" still undisclosed.

The 39-year-old chief executive ipparcntly was playing a lone hand. C. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense counsel, eaid the defense was "doing nothing just now." And Attorney General David T. Wilentz, chief irosecutor of Hauptmann, said 'nothing new" had come to the at- of the prosecution since the trial. Wilentz and Col.

H. Norman Schwartzkopf, state police chief, conferred Saturday and were understood to have agreed that "no good purpose would be served by controversy with the governor on his heories or points of view." Explaining the 30-day reprieve ae granted Hauptmann last Thursday on the eve of the execution, the jovernor said only that evidence in lis hands raised doubts in his mind to Hauptmann's guilt and caused lim to question the credibility of much the state's case against urn. The re-convening of the state egislature tomorrow night was waited for a possible answer to the juestion of whether impeachment against the goyernor for Ms activities in behalf of Hauptmann would materialize. Although Hoffman has large majorities in louses, some observers thought the egislative floor might be used by iome of his critics for an attack ipon him. But there was a disposition on the part of some of his political snemies to withhold their fire they knew definitely whether hs lad any important new evidence.

MIT INKER FOLKS IN New York, Jan. old man-made double standard of morality has been abandoned and "disposition and personality" have become the important basis of marriage to today's youth as reported in a New York university survey today. The fathers and mothers of these same young folks will stand by the old moral standard staunchly. The survey was unusual in that it covered not only young men and women but the parents of a large number of the same young persons. It was made by Dr.

Ray Erwin Baker, professor of sociology. The questions were asked over a period of six j-ears of 624 students, equally divided between the sexes. They were asked of 105 fathers and 115 mothers. For the young peoples point of view Dr. Baker found that economic status was a matter of small concern.

Good looks were not considered essential. But the youngsters were "adamant on disposition and personality" --set against marrying a person unattractive in those two respects. They preferred good morals, but weren't emphatic about that. They not afraid of marrying into an "inferior" family, and two-fifths of the young women and three-fifths of the young men were willing to break across the lines of their religious faith in selecting a mate. Wish of Girls More of the girls than men wanted mates to be superior to them Parents agreed with the young people on need for attractive personality and disposition, although rating it a little lower.

But on moral standard children a parents were far apart. Parents were also more against marrying into an "inferior" family, and parents rated health of higher importance than did their children. -BARBARA BELL- A I A SLIP DT TIME FOB TOCR SPBEVG WARDROBE Come to think of it, who doesn't make a slip now and then?

IN CAPITAL Washington, Jan. -President Roosevelt returned to the capital tonight at 8:15 p. from his trip to New York City. The president was accompanied from New York by Postmaster General Farley, the chairman of the Democratic National committee, and Charles West, undersecretary of the interior.

Through a secretary, Marvin H. Mclntyre, the president made Inquiry about the condition of King George of England. Despite the almost blizzard weather, the special train kept to schedule. With Mrs. Roosevelt, the president motored slowly over the icy streets of Washington to the White House.

BKGIX HKKE TODAY Julia Craig, pretty young secretary to George Woodford of the law firm of Woodford and Brooks, is ambitious to become a night club singer. Amy Sanders, with whom Julia shares an apartment, discourages her about this, although Admitting Julia's voice is better than many professional's. Peter Kemp, also employed by Woodford and Brooks, is in love with Julia and has asked her to marry him, but Julia discourages his attentions. She tells Peter she is determined to become a singer and he agrees to give her a letter of introduction to his friend, Henri Lamb, band leader at the Gveen club. NOW GO WITH THE STORY CHAPTER III Having made his promise, Peter seemed to hesitate.

Then he said, "If Henri Lamb doesn't give you a job, will you marry me?" He saw the sudden dismay in Julia's eyes, and added quickly, "All right. Just pretend I didn't ask you. I think it was the thirteenth time, and that would be unlucky." Julia laughed. "It would be, at least for this time, Peter. I'll try hard to persuade Henri Lamb to try me out at the Green club.

But even if he won't--I don't think I'd quit trying so soon." Next day Julia realized that her ideas about breaking into night club entertaining had been somewhat vague. In the cold light of morning she saw that it was her spirited argument with Amy which had crystallized the ambition so quickly. She had warned Peter that she would keep on trying even if Henri Lamb didn't give her a chance. But how? She knew no one in the entertainment world--and her knowledge of the world itself was confined to the viewpoint of an occasional observer. Hiding her doubt from Amy, she told herself not to cross her bridges in advance.

There was time enough to worry about the when, and if. she wasn't successful with rlenri Lamb. Amy and Julia never breakfasted the apartment It was their invariable habit to drop in at a small restaurant on the way to work. Julia's morning fare was orange nice, toast and coffee--but Amy, who bad a tendency to curve in what she humorously called "the wrong place," kept rigidly to a Breakfast diet of orange juice only. was over the rim of an orange iuice glass that she looked at Julia now.

"Well," she asked quizzically. 'Still want to be the female Crosby this morning?" Julia nodded. "Peter knows Henri Lamb He's going to give me a letter to him." "Darned if you don't mean it!" exclaimed Amy in astonishment. "I thought maybe were just putting on an act last night. Sometimes I feel like trying to crash the movies--but then after a good night's sleep I get over the idea." The two left each other at the entrance to the restaurant--Amy to the shop, and Julia hurrying toward the tall building on whose top flooi rested the dignified offices of Woodford and Brooks It was one of the largest law firms in the city, and its personnel was a much more complicated affair than the name indicated.

For George Woodtord and his partner employed a veritable corps of young attorneys--and for each ons there was a secretary, in addition to the telephone girl and filing clerks. Theoretically, as Woodford's secretary, Julia Craig had the most enviable job of all the girls. But there was a stifling routine about the work that she did not like; and what worried her most was the thought of being in Woodford's paneled office for years on end--as If it were a cell and she committed to it for a crime of which sfce had never been guilty. In the reception hall she met Peter Kemp. He smiled his good morning, and took a sealed envelope from his pocket.

On its face was neatly typed "Mr. Henri Lamb, the Green club." Barbara Bell Pattern Service, The Helena Independent, 149 New Montgomery Avenue, Sao FranclKO, California.

AMrm toll Wrw I PHILIPPINES PUTS Manila, Jan. of the bloodiest bandit episodes in Philippine history approached its end tonight a notorious robber chief, temporarily freed on his honor, rounding up his own cutthroat gang for punishment.

A woman was at the bottom of the denouement. In two days she did wbat several hundred constab- ularymen had failed to do in three months--bring in the leader, alter 18 bandits and 11 other persons had been killed. With a small army after him and a price of $5,000 on his head, the bandit leader, Nicolas Encallado, surrendered. through negotiations carried on by his daughter, Aurelia. President Manuel Quezon immediately released Encallado on his promise to round up the remnants of his outlaw band, which is accused of killing 11 persons in cold blood.

Encallado was told to surrender his seven remaining men, Including his three sous, and face sedition charges himself. Their Peeve Under the leadership of Encal- iado and Teodoro Asedillo, the bandits allegedly robbed, pillaged and killed because they had no road over which to transport their prod- to market. Last Hay Esteban Asedillo, cousin Teodoro, offered to lead constab- to the bandit lair. In- tead he led them into ambush. Three officers and one bandit were illed in the fight.

Jiilin read, "When you give her try-out remember I'm in love with her--" "Oh, thanks. Peter Julia returned his smile. "I really do apprecite this a lot." "That's okay," Kemp told her. "If sure it's what you want, then I'm glad if I can help. Henri's office is on the second floor of the club.

I think the best time to catch him is about 3 in the afternoon." "Then I'll have to ask Mr. Woodford to let me off." Peter grinned. "At least you're not going to give up your job first." "Maybe I should. It--" Julia hesitated. "It's not very fair to Mr.

Woodford to be looking for something else while--" "Nonsense, Juha. Woodforfl's out of town today. Why don't you over to Henri's this afternoon?" "This afternoon," repeated Julia, frightened a little at the thought. Then, "I I think I will." Kemp patter her arm. "Good girl.

And--good luck "Thanks, Peter. I'll need it." And the neat little electric clock on her desk told Julia it was 20 minutes until 3, she did feel as if she need all the luck in the world. More nervous than she had ever been in her life, she fitted on her hat, glad that it was the smartest and most recent in her meager wardrobe. Then, with a final and careful look into the mirror, she pocketed Peter's letter and left the office by the side door into the hallway. Downstairs she decided on the extravagance of a taxi.

"After all," she thought, "I don't want to be out of breath when I get there." The taxi drew her up before the Green club some minutes before 3 But Julia paid the driver hurriedly and walked briskly into the building She had managed to screw her courage to the sticking point, and she wanted to face Henri Lamb while it was still there. The pastel-green facade of the building was familiar to her, and she found the wide doors closed hut yielding to her touch. When she had stepped inside she was astonished at the sight that met her eyes. The big room was deserted now, and illuminated eerily from only high small rentilatlng windows near the ceiling. Cloths were gone from the tables set on tiers above the rather small dance floor--and the chairs were stacked atop the tables.

From the occasional evenings she had attended the Green club, Julia Memphis, Jan. 19.

But that had been a glitter beneath spotlights.

Now, in this weak, natural Illumination, the setting for Henri Lamb's orchestra looked gaudy and cheap. In the center of the platform she saw the thin metal standard with its microphone at the top. "I wonder," Julia thought, "if I'll be standing there, singing to people in this jom Involuntarily, she sought the letter Peter Kemp had given her. Holding it as if it were a talisman, she went toward the stairway which she guessed would lead to Henri Lamb's office. Within surprisingly few steps she was in a tiny anteroom which held only three things --a photograph of Henri Lamb and his orchestra, a scarred bench, and a very young man who sat on the end of the bench smoking a cigarette.

He surveyed Julia critically and said, "You want to see Ii5r. Lamb?" "Yes," she faltered More than once she had faced irate Woodford clients and them away harmlessly. But somehow she was afraid of this very young man "I--I have a letter to him." "I'll take it in," the man said, i out his a for It. In a very short time he was facing her again. "Come on in," he said.

"Mr. Lamb'll see you." The quick magic of Peter's letter gave Julia immeasurable courage She found Henri Lamb a short heavy, dapper individual who lost much of his personality out of the black jacket in which he led his band. But he seemed sincere, and Julia liked him. "Friend of Pete's, eh? Ever do any professional singing?" Julia had to admit she hadn't. "Well, maybe that's all the better." He turned to the door.

"Jim Jim, turn the spot on the mike. Then go down and play for Miss Craig. She feels like singing." "Okay," Jim said. Then to i a "What d'you want to sing?" "I know most of the new She looked at Henri "How about 'Accent on Youth'?" Lamb nodded. "That's a gooc number.

Let's have it. And leave your hat here. I want to see your hair under the spot." When i a removed her hat he gave a little exclamation of approval. "Say, that ought to look good!" As Julia went downstairs anc across the empty dance floor to the platform, she walked as one in a trance. The spotlight was blind ing at first, but she was gratefu for it because It hid the big emptiness of the room--and It hid, too the disconcerting figure of Lamb But when Jim started in at the piano, Julia forgot everything bu the plaintive, haunting song.

And she sang it well. She knew she did. On the final chorus, Henri Lamb walked close to the microphone When had finished, he patted her hand. But he was shaking hii head, too, and she heard him say "Not i yet. But you're coming along." "You mean I--I won't do?" "I'm afraid that's it." He looked at' her seriously.

"It's a tougl racket, anyhow, girlie. Why don' you forget i Stammering her thanks, her eyei i i with tears of humiliation Julia rushed from the platform She was almost out the door whei she remembered she had left he hat upstairs. She ran for it, hop Ing she wouldn't confront Henr Lamb again. Beside her hat on hln litterei desk she saw tho half-open lette which Peter Kemp had written Lamb. Peter had typed It out In clear capitals which even her glance could not mils.

"The president and Mrs. Roosavelt seated on the democratic donkey at the very edge of a precipice both portrayed us laughing while tho former holds before him a megaphone and Mrs. Roosevelt holds aloft a communistic banner."
