SMITH PROPOSES B-POINT PROGRAM Urges Prosperity Bonds and | ko Beer Tax to Ralance Budget. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 1.—Former Gov. Alfred E. 8mith last night called for 4 per cent beer and prosperity bonds to relieve the cour economic {lls. He | said he spoke as a “citizen once honor-} ed with the nominztion for the presi- | dency of the United Statcs.” Smith spoke freely on national affairs. He advanced a six-point-tax program | calculated to balal the Pederal budget and chided the Federal Government for what he termed an indifference toward | the whole question of unemplyoment. “They seem to regard it.”” he said, “as something that is just too bad and ca: not be_helped.” | Smith, speaking over the radio, said his program would serve the dual pur- e of relieving unemployment and alancing the budget at the same time.

FIRST IS CONVICTED | IN TEA HOUSE VICE Chester Renzulli Gets Two-Year Term on Mann Act in Bal- timore Trial. | By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, April 1.—Chester Ren- | zulli of Philadelphia was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday after a Federal jury had found him guilty of violating the Mann act. The Renzulll trial was the first on indictments returned by = Federal grand jury against 12 persons following | a Government investigation into Mary- land_vice conditions after the fatal shooting of one man and the wound- ing of several others at the old Colonial | Tea Room near Bladensburg, Md., last | December. Josephine Schubert testified at to- day’s trial that Renzulli transported her | from Philadelphia to Baltimore ard also had taken her to the Bladensburg place and to the Belle Grove Inn, in| Anne Arundel County, Md. She said she was in the former place when the shooting occurred. Samuel Levin, counsel for the de- fendant, asked the court for mercy, say- ing that since the charge had been made against him, Renzulli had become reconciled with his wife and that he had two children to support. A similar charge involving & woman named Ann Lutz is pending against Renzulli. Queen “Pretty Thing” Found.

Carl- ton Hood of the scientific crime detec- tion laboratory of Northwestern Univer- | sity. The announcement was made to- | day by Col. Calvin Goddard, the di- rector. | Dr. Hood made the discovery several months ago while photographing hairs | which had been magnified 15468 times. | The research of himself and others in the subject of hair has progressed to the point Where those schooled in crime | detection can come within 99.4 per cent of perfection in the uses of hair in| pinning a crime upon a guilt; indi- vidual. | “The often neglected single hair”| said Dr. Hood, “is as important &s a fingerprint. It is possible to prove that one hair can come from only one man. Inasmuch as a normal human being drops about 15,000 hairs in 1.500 da he rarely ever gets away from Any- where without leaving a hair behind Sometimes when he leaves no fingec- | of a millimeter, the subject is 20. prehend the others. Until now it bas been possible to tell whether the sus- pect was red-headed, had dandruff, went bare-headed, whether he earned his liivng as a bank clerk, and so on. Now we can also tell his exact age. “The ring system is basically quite simple. Rings run around the hair, at intervals along it, and not one inside of another, as they do in a tree trunk or an onion. “A young man’s hair grows rapidly. Age makes it grow slower. This grow- ing is not steady. A hair grows a while, then stops a while. Each stop or rest produces a discoloration at the point where the ir emerges through the scalp. discoloration becomes a ring. If there are six rings to a tenth hid there are 12 rings to the tenth of & millimeter, the subject is 40, and so on.” Dr. Hood said he has already helped solve one murder by the hair test. A Hindu was slain. A single black hair was found clutched in the victim's | hand. After routine tests, Hood notified police to search for a Filipino, aged 32, The “Ghillie” Smart for the Junior Miss HIS very beautiful new unlined, tan tie has caught young folks who follow fashion closely.
