JOSEPH, Mo., Feb. 15.—Stat- ing that money sent to individua in Germany is taken by the Nazi government, Probate Judge A. F Duncan said that he would not per- mit any money from an estate be sent to an heir there. The situation arose when it learr that Philip Wewer, found dead in his home, had a sister in Germany and that he possessed cash and bank accounts totalinz $14,000 and some real estate. “If the sister is still alive and re- sides in Germany I will make no order to allow any proceeds of the estate to be sent to her,” Judge Dun- can said. “I have nothing against the German people, but I kr that when money is sent there they do not receive it. It all goes to the gov- ernment. The fact that Hitler has refused to allow money left by Ger- mans to be sent to heirs in this country is another reason why I do not intend to order any money from this country sent to heirs in Ger- many.” - Cupid Goes Highballin S5YENNE, Wyo., seems to be something that there’ a he to he No ti- nat ci- Feb. 15. — ; (o that s romance in CH The: ald theory railroadin’ At least in 1939 the Union Pa- cific’s stewardesses found it so.

(Chip) Robert, Jr., tee; Ch: WHEN GARBO GOES DINING— THE PHRASE 1S By GEORGE TUCKER W YORK, Feb. 15.—It does m at times that New York isn't very polite to its visitors from Hol- 1 pecially when they are re supposed to be en- Garbo.

There too he and Miss Garbo made free and with a fine meal which advanced all the way [the salad stage before trouble, ir !the guise of a veteran Broadway re- i perter, presented himself. “I Vant to talk to Garbo!” Mr. Hauser heaved himself to his cet “‘Can’t you he said cold- ly, “that Miss Garbo is in a highly nervous state!” Now this wa | te of libel against a fine, sturdy girl. s Garbo is far from nervous. Besides, she enjoys crowds, n if her escorts do If crowds upset her she woul |have dinner at the Rainbow Roo! hich is something like the mair waiting room at Pennsylvania tion. Nor wounld she lur peymers, which is also lik ing in Times Square. She does have I believe, a very genuine contempt for those who invade her pri for no legitimate reason, as she should have. After all, only a sap wants to force his hello on some- |one else. even if that someone gives him a throaty “hullo” in return. But back to Mr. Hauser. What i there to it that he and Garbo will jwed? That is anybedy’s gu My own is that if they ever do see the altar they will it separalely. I seem to remember too many oth- |€r swains of other years . .. .1I seem to remember a bitter winter's day, with the great Stowkowski, alone and dejected, gazing gloomily toward a certain ship in the harbor. Miss Garbo was aboard that ship. secluded in her stateroom, having lunch with Bob Reud, of Hickory N. C.. and New York. She had lunch with this same i Mr. Reud the day after her supper with Mr. Gaylord Hauser at Twen- ty-One was ruined, and unless the waitress who served her is lying, Miss Garbo isn't very faithful to Mr. Hauser’s vegetable juice diet. She began her repast with a simple or- der of prosciutto, which is Italian ham and melon. Then she ate a !French Jamb chop over which lay a curl of bacon. There was a side dish of broccoli, and I hope there was juice in it. This was followed by allumette potatoes. Then she disposed of a chiffonade salad, and toppedG this off with a rousing cher- ry jubllee. which is ice cream smoth- ered in pitted, black cherries that see secretary of the Democrati arlie Michelson, publicity director; Carner; and Colonel Edwin A, Halsey, Senate secretary. __THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, FEB. 15, 1940 Picking 1940 Convention City S.
