TOM LAWLER'S OFFICE OUTFITTERS Typewriters Adding Machines If It Is Used In An Office We Sell It" Vivian Burnett, "Little Lord Fauntleroy," Dies At 61 Years NEW YORK, July 27 (JP) "Little Lord Fauntleroy" is dead a hero.

Vivian Burnett who spent a lifetime proving he was not as "sissy" as the fictional character portrayed in the famous novel his mother, Frances Hodgson Burnett died after helping save four persons from drowning in the choppy waves of Manhasset Bay. Burnett 61, collapsed at the helm of his yawl Delight III Sunday after maneuvering it so that others on the boat could haul from the waters two men and two women whose sailboat had capsized. He was dead, apparently from a heart atack, before the yawl docked. "Little Lord Fauntleroy" was written after Burnett, then 7, asked his mother to "write some books that little boys would like to read." The book was an immense success, and a generation of American boys came to hate the "perfect little boy" whom their mothers' held up as a pattern of conduct. They also hated the "sissified" big white Fauntleroy collar which imprisoned their young necks during a national vogue.

Burnett was a sophomore at Harvard when his mother disclosed in a magazine article that he had been the unwitting model in her novel. The rest of his days the "Fauntleroy" tag plagued him. The annual onion consumption of the United States amounts to 10 pounds per capita. Although they are probably the two busiest men in Washington right now, Vice President John Garner threw his arm over the shoulders of Senator Alben Barkley, the new Senate majority leader, and neither let political worries interefere with their smiling good spirits as this informal picture was made. The leadership election just over, the two were mapping out plans for control of a rebellious Senate, to restore party harmony and to salvage as much from the President's program as possible.

Phono Everything In Lumber and Building Materials Injunction Is Served Strikers In East State William H. West Tried To Get Money From President Roosevelt ATLANTIC CITY, July 27 () William H. West, self-styled "thought wave projector and "president-maker" was sent to an insane asylum following examination on a charge of attempting to extort money from President Roosevelt. West, a 47-year-old minister, was jailed last night after police charged he had sent letters to the president demanding either a Job or "adequate compensation for bringing about Roosevelt's nomination" at the 1932 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Norwood G. Green, the secret lervice agent who arrested West, laid it took two weeks to trace the origin of the alleged extortion notes. The minister, listed as a graduate of Drexel Institute and the University of Michigan, has resided here 18 years. He was defeated two years ago in a campaign for county clerk, Keeping his poise until the last moment, West explained his claim that he brought about election of Roosevelt and other high public officials. It was simple, he said "thought is the most powerful thing in the universe." At the height of the excitement at Chicago, when it looked as if Al Smith might run off with the nomination, West was in Atlantic City at the remote controls.

"Without a moment's respite." he said, "I concentrated for 40 hours to assure Mr. Roosevelt's nomination. One after another I won. Al Smith delegates over to Roosevelt, until at the end I had thirty-six. and throughout the campaign I transmitted thought' waves to doubtful voters."

FAMOUS IRISH WRITER ENJOYS 81ST BIRTHDAY MARLVERN, July 27 (JP) George Bernard Shaw celebrated his 81st birthday Monday, his un- dimmed vitality giving the lie to his own hint of a year ago that it was about time he started his own obituary. Shaw declined to discuss his health beyond a grudging concession that he is "all right for my age." Characteristically, the celebration did not mean that Shaw made any particular fuss over the passage of another year.

But he did not need to. The organizers of the ninth annual Malvern Open Air Drama Festival took care of that for him. They opened their season on his birthday with one of his own plays, "The Millionaires," in his honor. HOLD INQUEST INTO DEATH OF WOMAN DOCTOR AT ST. LOUIS ST.
