BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG NUTHIN' --- ONLY YORE PAPPY HE SEZ TER LET YOU-UNS GO HOME \ \ By JACK SYINNETT | NEW YORK, Jan. 7—The head- | f new names. ° | “Names make news” is a journal- isfiic adage but 1934 reversed it. News—big news—pushed scores of es onto front pages and kept a generous handful of them there until they were as familiar as the name of the family physician. | From the march of the Cardinals | to the world's baseball champion- ship, the midwestern crime wave,} the developments in the Llndberghi ‘bahkpht kidnaping' and murder case, the,“tempest in a teapot” investi- | ation of the “brain trust” and a | dozen other news evénts, new names emerged slowly or burst like rockets on Page 1 of the dailies. No longer was identification neces- sary. Within no time at all the| head writers were unfurling such banners as “Hauptmann Held for | Murder”—'‘Dizzy Dean Downs De- troit”—“Dillinger Dies in Federal Trap”—or “Wirt Willing To Tes-| tify.” b S{nu of 1934 unrolled a profusion | Arrest of Hauptmann Outstanding, of course, was Bru- no Richard Hauptmann, the alien carpenter, around whose Bronx home the 2'%-year-old investigation of the kidnaping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., suddenly settled with the fury of a tornado. Only in his home town in Germany apparently had Hauptmann's name appeared in public print until a New York filling station operator became suspicious of a gold note with which Hauptmann paid for some gasoline. On into 1935 the name of Haupt- mann is scheduled to hold its share of the headlines. Jerome Herman “Dizzy” ‘was too big a favorite with the sports writers and too good a pitcher not to have made his bow in the headlines before the World Series. In August, in fact, when he instigated and perpetrated a one- man strike for higher pay for Brother Paul, the story moved out- side baseball circles. But by the time the series was over and Dean had surpassed even his own expec- tations, baseballdom’s new favorite was permanently launched. “No. 1 Bad Man” In palice circles and in numer- ous lochlities of the northern mid- dle west, John Dillinger was notor- jous when the year opened. His capture with three companions at Tucson, Ariz., and his subsequent “wooden pistol” escape from the Crown Point, Ind., county jail cat- apulted him into the national news category. From that point on, he continued the thorn in the side of the department of justice and the nation’s ‘“No. 1 bad man” until that night in July when he relaxed his vigil and went to a movie. His death in the gunfire from official- dom’s ambush was the highlight of an anti-crime drive which hgs car- ried more gangsters to death from the guns of justice than in any other year. Dr. William A. Wirt might still be- a comparatively little known Gary, Ind., pedagog had he not undertaken to publish his “charges” against the “brain trust.” These charges, concerning an ‘“economic revolution with Roosevelt as its Kerensky,” set the Washington po- litical pot to boiling over an inves- tigation that filled the front pages for weeks until the house commit- tee finally issued a report that the “charges of Dr. Wirt were un- founded.” Youngsters in News Had the Dionne guintuplets nev- er been born, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe probably would have ended his life a sincere, intelligent country doc- tor, remarkably like a character from recent fiction. His fight for the lives of the five Dionne babies | since he received that before dawn | “hurry call” at his home in Callan- der, Ont., May 28, has drawn al- most as much attention from sci- ence as from the public. In that WOMEN OF ALL AGES YOUNG wom- en who suffer from monthly pains, headache | or side ache, and women of middle | age who suffer from heat flashes need the tonic/ effect of Dr.| Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.| 3 Read what Mrs. | W.

Headlines come early in life to me; two youngsters this year have -drawn more than many fa- mous figures ever receive. There is Gloria Vanderbilt, 10 years old, who went into Central Park one day to feed the pigeons and precipitated charges by her mother in a habeas corpus proceeding against Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney that her daughter had been ‘‘spirited away.” After nearly three months, prep- arations for another court battle over the custody of the child are being made by Mrs. Vanderbilt. The other youngster is none other than a darling of the mov- ies, five-year-old Shirley Temple, who was drafted into the cast of “Stand Up and Cheer” and elevat- ed to stardom because audiences STAMPEDE Mining activity on Soledaa mountain near Mojavs STARTED BY RE 7.~—~Headlines Unroll Wealth of Names in the News” did just that when the film was | shown. | Donald Randail Richberg has been in the public prints for many years. Even before his appointment as general counsel of the NRA, he | had wedged a generous niche in | America’s “Who's Who." But it was not until 193¢ that his name | began to emerge as one of the most prominent figures in the “new 1‘ deal.” Since General Johnson's re- | signation, Richberg, once counsel‘ for the railroad labor executives as- | sociation and leader in the Pro-‘ gressive party, has been dxrectori of the NRA policy committee and | chief helmsman of the NRA barge. | Northern Zone by the P.W.A.
