GREENVILLE, OHIO MYSTERY DEATH OF ILLINOIS YOUTH IS PROBED BY DOCTORS Galesburg, Dec. 14-(UP)Police called on state toxicologists Monday for asistance in their investigation of the mysterious death of Gale Davison, 23, who was found hanging from a small tree in a cornfield Saturday. The most puzzing phase of his death was that he was attired in women's clothing and a brown wig.

Police believed he committed suicide but his widowed mother, Mrs. Maud Davison, refused to accept that theory. At her request State's Attorney E. D. Hardy sent the vital organs to Springfield, for examination 1 by state department health experts for traces of poison.

Two boys found Davison's body. It was hanging by a dog leash from a young sapling, the knees touching the ground. Davison's hands were fastened behind his back with a toy pair of handcuffs. The brown wig was covered by a silk scarf, tied about the head, peasant fashion. Heavy rouge and lipstick completed the disguise along with silk stocking and trim pumps.

Police said the position of the body was their basis, for the suicide theory. They believed Davison could have stood up had he tried and that he could have opened the handcuffs easily. Mrs. Davison did not believe it unusual for. her son to be wearing women's clothing and makeup.

She said he freqeuntly dressed that way for masquerade parties. Police said they had not been able to find that eny party of that kind had been held in the Galesburg area Friday night, Davison's automobile was found on a downtown street. Police found women's shoes, dresses, a much-used makeup kit, Davison's shoes and trousers in the automobile. The keys to the automobile were found in his topcoat. Police said their investigation thus far had shown that Davison was a man of good habits, popular and apparently had had no serious worries.

His fiancee, Juanita Ward. said he was cheerful when she talked to him late Friday and was looking forward to celebrating his birthday with her. MEETS TODAY WITH. ROOSEVELT AND U. S.

OFFICIALS Washington, Dec. 14 (UP) Capt. Anthony Eden, former men: ber of the British cabinet who i in this country on an informal visit confers today with President Roos. velt and high officials of the stat department. Eden was scheduled to arrive fror New York today for a three-da; visit in the capital and Annapolis and Baltimore.

His visit here will be unofficial, no social functions. being planned by the White House. Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles will entertain Eden and his party tomorrow at an informal luncheon. Eden will deliver an "off the record" address at the National Press Club today. At the head table he will be flanked by cabinet members, state department officials, presentatives of the British and prominent newspaper correspondents.

The results of Eden's talks with the President and Welles are not expected to furnish any startling news. But the underlying results may be vital in fashioning Britain's orientation toward American public closeand foreign policy. Sources Eden said that during his few days in New York he already had reached his major objective-to find out the reason for America's coolness toward Britain since the Munich agreement. Those sources believe Eden has discovered that criticism of British policy in this country is sympathetic to British troubles, but not necessarily to the British' solution of these troubles. It was almost certain that the views exchanged by Eden, Mr.

Roosevelt and Welles would not be expressed publicly- for all public purpose his. visit here would be as informal as the social functions planned for him. Before returning, to New York Thursday night or Friday morning Eden will visit Annapolis, seat of the U. 8 Naval Academy, and Denton, to visit the grave of his lineal ancestor, Sir. Robert Eden, the last British governor, of Maryland.
