GIRL SAYS STORY OF ATTACK FALSE Erie “Sex Maniac” Hunt Ends on | Declaration “Kidnap” Inci- dent Was Hoax. Bv the Associated Press. ERIE, Pa, November 2—Police Chief George Christoph blamed a 14- | year-old East High School girl tonight . with starting Erie's two weeks' “sex maniac” hunt by falsely reporting she had been kidnaped and attacked. The girl (Anna Zikowski) signed a statement in the presence ot the chief, Policewoman Mrs. Elizabeth Jeffs and | District Attorney Burton Laub saying both her original assault story on | October 15 and her tale of being at- | tacked again last night were untrue. The statement said she told about the first alleged attack to escape par- ental rebuke for staying out late. Ex- plaining her story of being kidnaped, attacked and thrown from an auto- mobile last night, she said: “I wanted to die because people were calling me a bad girl.” The girl was discovered last night gagged and lying on the ground near a paper manufacturing plant. She said she stuffed her father's handker- chief into her mouth and lay in the rain for half an hour. “I couldn't bear to go back to school,” she declared. Movie Dust Banned. Ruling that dusty roads are bad publicity for Hungary's tourist busi- ness, the Hungarian film censor, in Budapest, has banned a film showing & cloud of dust rising from a road. o CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

WO women—we'll call them Mys. A. and Mrs. B.—entered a’downtown department store the other afterncon. They had been kidding each other | at lunch, so Mrs. A. just kept it up as she spotted the Red Cross subscription desk inside the door. Without even glancing at her com- panion, she growled out of the side of her mouth: “Have you joined the Red Cross yet, you louse?” Then she heard something that made her pause and look quickly in the direction of where she thought Mrs. B. was. “Why—why, you—-111" A very angry womdn was standing there. Mrs. B. was nowhere to be seen. So Mrs. A. fled toward the escalator. * % X ¥ MISTAKEN IDENTITIES. It's a strange thing—the way people hear something about a person named ‘“So-and-So” and immediately tie it up with a person they know by the same name, Take the night Dutch Schultz was shot—and newsboys here were hawking the story at top voice. Many persons called the home of Police Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt to ask how badly he was hurt. * % ok % THIS NEW METHOD. ‘HE modern method of “sight read- ing” in the primary school grades, where the pupils are not taught the letters of the alphabet until about the third grade, has just about stymied the oculist who examines youngsters’ | eves. “The woes of the business or news- paper office, which have blamed this method for poor spelling, are as nothing to my woes,” said a prom- inent specialist yesterday. “Johnny | and Mary come to my office. They | look at the H O L C Z on the third line of the test chart. All the an- swers are ‘No,” for they can't recognize the letters unless they are arranged {in word groups.” He is considering substitution of letter charts with “The quick red fox, etc.” or “All good men come to the aid of their party.” * F o e LIGHT TO GUIDE THEM. The future course of New Deal legislation will be steered in the light of the Supreme Court. The powerful Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, which has much to say about legislative doings on Capitol Hill, has acquired a huge crystal chandelier from the old Supreme Court chamber, which the tribunal vacated recently for new quarters. * ok k% PENNANT TIME AGAIN. D STREET, street of many won- ders, has broken out with an- other oddity in the 900 block—a pennant manufactory. Wken father went to college he collected four walls and a ceiling of 'em, then brought them home in hu trunk for Junior. But Junior scorned these felt and silken triangles, and | went in for silver spoons, dance pro- Before You Re-roof or Get Our Timbertex Colonial Siding Over Frame or Stucco Side Walls o Eliminates Painting Forever ® Reduces Fuel Costs ® Beautifies the Home Textured like cypress wood, this fireproof asbestos cement srdmg will permanently enhance the beauty of your home.

Terms—If Desired Free Estimates—ANYWHERE THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, grams, no parking signs, and other “collected” trophies. Now, it appears, pennants, flags, buntings, badges and banners are on the way back. Another one of those recurring “fad” cycles. When ma and pa took a ride to Great Falls in the old car they never thought of coming back without a gaudy pennant which proclaimed to all the world how far they'd been. Now, the boys on battleships buy peh- nants proclaiming ships they've besn | on, embroidered with “U. 5. Navy” | and hand-worked pictures of their home vessels. L. E. Rollins, running the new rhnp, and 22 years in the game here in Washington, has sent pennants to | India, the Philippines, Cuba, Panama for gobs and leathernecks, and to col- | leges all over the country. For they're coming back in the colleges, too, according to orders bemz filled. One, just finished, a silk delight | in two colors for the Ladies’ Auxiliary, | Branch 4, of the Fleet Reserve As- sociation, runs around $25. Rollins turns them out all the way from 50 cents to $250. * ok ko NO TIME—NO ELEMENTS. The new Archives Building con- quers time and the elements. In the storage sections there is neither night nor day, all lighting being artificial, since there are no win- dows. There is neither Winter nor Summer, since the temperature is kept at 72 degrees all the time. This is necessary because valuable manuscrxptr are damaged by nat- " ural light and air. * K K % AMBITION. BILLY HANLON, of just plain “Oklahoma,” is a small boy, but\ he has big ambitions and he has writ- | ten Secretary of War Dern nboul them. Somehow or other “Billy” ha.s learned that the United States owns| & Jot of parachutes and “Billy” wants to be a jumper. He believes that he is wasting time by waiting until he grows up to take lessons. That would be about 12 years hence. So this is his plan as he expressed it to Secre- tary Dem: | “If you will lend me a 'chute I can| begin practicing right away and be| pretty good when I grow up. I would | start my practicing by jumping off | | our barn.” Secretary Dern doubts whether| “Bllly” would survive to be any good | | at all, so the War Department ha.sw refused “Billy” a parachute. * k X x THE WOMAN WINS. CONS!DER the embarrassment of | the Chevy Chase woman—a pfss- senger on an express bus bound fol'w Chevy Chase Circle—when she re-| membered suddenly that she left her car parked. downtown. Express busses do not stop bsl\\een‘ K and Van Ness streets. “But driver I have to get off. I ‘drove my car downtown and forgot | it. Every block just puts me farther away.” | Womanl~ persistency won. The driver capitulated, with his tongue in | his cheek, hoping that an inspector | did not see the bus discharge a pas- senger in the express zone. —_— Zonta Clubs to Hold Dinner. The Zonta Club of Washington, in conjunction with two similar nmni-i zations in Frederick and Annapolis, Md., will hold the annual Zonta day dinner at the Dodge Hotel Friday,| November 8. Mrs. Helen S. M. Rodgers of Buf- falo, N. Y., will speak. The meeting Friday will celebrate the sixteenth anniversary of the club’s founding. | Arrows Hurled Without Bows. The popularity of archery clubs | throughout the country has resulted in the formation of “Hulche” clubs, the members of which make use of the ditional arrow, but discard the equally traditional bow.
