BEER BOTTLE NEW CLUE T0 TOURISTS New Mexico Search Spurred by Find, and Story of Ranch Hand. By the Associated Press. ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex,, July 1.— Two unusual clues—a beer bottle in the baggage of an abstainer and the narrative of a movie-going ranch hand—fitted today into a murder theory by Gov. Clyde Tingley and his investigators into the desert disap- pearance) of four Illinois tourists. Of the, two, the bottle was the strongest “lead” in the mass man- hunt that has kept a dozen State police, a score of National Guardsmen and the Governor himself virtually sleepless for two weeks. The bottle was found with charred remnants of the personal effects of Mr. and Mrs, George Lorius, East St. Louis, I, and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Heberer, Duquoin, Ill, missing since they spent the night of May 21 at Vaughn, N. Mex. Lorius’ aver- sion to beer was such that he de- clined to stay at a hotel serving intoxicants. The bottle which came to light just east of Albuquerque late Satur- day was of the same type, said the Governor, as one found at a spot gouth of Socorro, N. Mex., where a glim young man, perhaps their slayer, figured in a wreck with the tourists’ automobile. The motor car later was abandoned in Dallas, Tex. Buddy Nicholls, the ranch hand, told officers he heard a car approach his camp, near the spot where the tourists’ burned belongings were found, about 11 pm. the night of May 22. STEEL WORKERS GET FIRST PAID VACATION Sheet and Tube's Mill Men Start on Furloughs of Week or Less at Regular Scale. By the Associated Press. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July 1.— The first vacations with pay for steel workers in this district began today when the mill men of the Youngs- town Sheet & Tube Co. started on furloughs of a week or less with pay, depending on length of service. Every worker who has been in the eompany’s service 10 years or more will receive a week's vacation with pay. Every man with more than five n 1934, paid at his regular daily rate. The vacations will benefit between €500 and 7.000 men. It is estimated the innovation will cost the company $125,000 to $150,000. Men working on monthly salaries always have had paid vacations, but never before in this district have the men who actually make steel been paid for time off. e 3,000 MOOSE INITIATED AT SESSION IN BOSTON Benator Davis, Director General, in Address Lauds Passage of Security Bill.

BIG HIGHWAYS URGED Representative Brunner Would Use Work-Relief Funds. Construction of a transcontinental super-express highway system with works-relief funds was proposed yes- terday by Representative Brunner, Democrat, of New York. He said he would urge President Roosevelt to consider allocation of suf- fieient money for building a network Of highways, including a trunk line from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. | ton explained, | composed of would-be picture sctors. “Dusky lady” ] amateur play pro- duced vy the Shiresville, Ct, ; Dramatic Club, was forced into a five-night run be- cause of its great success, folks de- clared that Sam Abkott, the leading = man was due for & Ty’ brilliant career on “he legitimate stage >< or in pictures. __ Every one agreed that the popularity of “Dusky Lady” was due to noth- ing more than the magnificent acting of Sam. His per- formance was, to put it mildly, s sen- sation—for Shiresville, Ct., of course. Miss Tipton, who, cirected the per- formance, favored pictures for Sam'’s career. ‘“There’s inore money in pic- tures” she declared. “More chance of quick fame.” Sem frowned tnoughtfully. “But how,” he wanted to know, “does one get into pictures?” Which was a question that might have stumped one less world-wise than Miss Tip- ton. But Miss Tipton had been around. She smiled smugly. “Now, Sam,” she said, “let me talk to you as I would to my own son. You've had a great success here in Shiresville. There's not a soul but predicts big things for you. But you're young, aud haven't—er—well, the benefit of wide experience.” Here Miss Tipton smiled smugly once more. “I've known many young mea and women,” she went on, “who, some- what puffed up izecause of local suc- cess, have gone to New York or Holly- wood expecting proaucers to reach out grasping hands of welcome, only to be disappointed. Now, Sam, you don’t want to be disappointed, do you?” “Oh, my goodness, no,” Sam as- sured her without hesitation. “In facr—" But Miss Tipion interrupted him with her smug smile. “Of course,” she agreed. “Now, Sam, actirg, in many respects, is not unlike any other profession. One inust begin at the bottom, I mean. I ao not mean to deprecate your ability, Sam, but I do not think that the announcement of your arrival in either Hoi'ywood or New York wouid set directors and producers all agog. If you know what I mean?” “Well,” said Sam, “proceed.” “Ahem,” said Mvss Tipton. in_attire “Sam, |my advice to you is to go to Holly- and less than 10 vears' service will | ¥ood and join the Boulevard Trot- receive 1-52nd of the time he worked | ters.” “I beg your pardon?” said Sam. “The Boulevard Trotters,” Miss Tip- “is an organization These would-bes, having had—er— | local success, rush to Hollywood with high hopes and great expectations, only to be disanpointed. Undaunted, however, they array themselves in at- tires that are—er—sughtly different from everyday garb, and spena their days walking up and down Hollywood Boulevard in Ho:ywoed, hoping that a passing director or producer will spot them and offer them work. The Boulevard Trotters msy be seen any day in Hollywood.” “Hum,” said Sam, “and do tnese— er—Trotters ever get work?"” “Frequently,” said Miss Tipton, “they do. Directors needing char- acters for certain parts seek them out. Now, Sam, my poini is this: Should you become a Trotter and be selected for a part, the director will he so your unusual ability, orcirary talent, you will imme:niately be signed on a long contract. It's only psychology, Sam.” To which Sam agreed. One month later he landed in Hollywood, and engaged an inexpensive room. Re- membering Miss Tipton's advice and remembering, too, the gay send-off and modest purse awarded him by loyal and proud citizens of Shires- ville, he became fllled with s great desirc to succeed. And so on the day following nhis ariival, Sam bud- geted his meager funds pocketed the amount allotted to “costumes” and visited a local Lsberdusher. Minutes Later he appeared on the boulevard “‘guaranteed” by the haber- dasher to attract the most phleomatic arector. e Te ] 7 AL THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, JULY 1, 1935. DAILY SHORT STORY-: BOULEVARD TROTTER BY KARL GRAYSON. tention of, if not and Same became accustomed ‘o his “attracting clothes” Two weeks, and he had shed the last vestige of self-consciousnes and em- barressment. Three weeks, and he found himself able to walk the entire length of the boulsvard without being aware of another living soul. At the end of a month Sam re- tired to his inexpensive room 1o medi- tate, reflect and reconsider. Thirty days had elapsed since he joined the Boulevard Troiters; 30 uneventful days, without so much as a specula- tive glance from the occupanis of the big limousines which, he knew, carried directors o and from the studios. He had seen others succeed, others whose ability, he felt, was far inferior to his cwn. Sam’s funds wers low. Letters from home urged the news of his success. And the youth had be- come discouraged, saadened and de- jected. His career, he felt, was ended before it had begun. The vride of Shiresville was on the skids. He was licked. He'd have tc give up snd go to work. Yes, that was the only alternative. There was no more meney for boule- vard trotting. Even though a great artist at heart, he felt the nced of nourishment far more than soiritual ecstasy. Forlornly Sam laid aside his “at- tracting” outfit, dug his old Shiresville Sunday best from the closet and donned it. Surveving himself in the mirror, he smiled, It felt gnod to ve dressed like & human being once more, to actually feel Iiike one. Memories of Shiresvilie crowdsd into his mind, producing a faint touch of nostalgia. He began to make his plans. To heck with pictures! He was going to get & job, save enough money to buy Rimself a ticket East and repay the kind folks of Shires- ville for their pursc money, and re- turn to his home town where his friends and relaiives, familiar sights and sounds, and, incidentally, where s job as clerk awaited him in the local grocery store. Thus decided, fecling better in mind and body, Sam pulled his Shires- ville hat to a jaunty angle and headed for Hollywood's business section. So engrossed was he in the happy thoughts attending his return to Con- necticut in the near future that he did not take heed of the limousine that had swung into the curd and was following aleng slowly in pace with his stride. Tne voice that called to him spoke thrice betore Sam looked | up and around. The man in the lincusine was lean- ing from the window. “I'm from the Nation-Wide Studios,” he was saying. “How would you like & job? We have & part calling for a country yokel and you seem to nave the techmque.” So startled was Sam that he just stood still and gaped, eyes wide, mouth ajar. The occupant of the limcusine surveyed the youth from head to toe and grinned. “Nice work,” he said. “Perfect portrayal. By the way, that's some get-up you have on. Better fetch it along to wcar in the pagt. Here.” The man scribbled something on a card and thrust it into Sam's limp hand. “That’ll pass you inside—and if you do well we'll keep you on at a steady salary. Sec you tomorrow.” And with this tne Lmousine wkirled away and left S8am standing on the sidewalk, no longer a Boulevari Trot- ter, but once more the pride and joy of Shiresville, Ct.
