A—16 HAZEN TOPRESENT PRIZES T0 MILITIA Guard to Be Assembled to Honor Rifle Match Victors. The rifle team of the National Guard of the District of Columbia is to be signally honored for its success in the national rifle matches recently held at Camp Perry, Ohio. Plans are being formulated by brigade head- quarters to assemble all of the troops | of the local militia on the lot adjacent to the Pennsylvania avenue armory, when each of the members of the rifle | team will be called out for formal presentation of the medals and prizes which he won during the matches. The prizes have been received at the armory here and the date for the presentation has been set by Col. John W. Oehmann, commanding the Guard, for the evening of December 8. Inclement weather may force the officials to change the place indoors, but at the present time it is the pur- pose to have all the troops form a hollow square with the members of the rifie team in the center. District Commissioner Melvin C. ‘Hazen is scheduled to make the pres- entations to the riflemen. Commander’s Anniversary.

HOLLYWOOD, November 28.— Cranks and not criminals, studio police and executives agree, threaten all the Hollywood kidnapings. It's getting to be old stuff to the stars, although these same letters cause young stars’ parents and stars who have children to hire bodyguards and to install elaborate police signal systems. The latest “scare,” an alleged threat to kidnap 12-year-old Freddie Barthol- omew, was discounted at M-G-M studio today “as just another crank letter.” An investigation is being made by the Department of Justice because, apparently, similar letters had been written by the same person, perhaps to Bartholomew and to others, & studio executive said. ‘We get so many of these letters that we couldn’t possibly look inte all of M-G-M police force said. Threatening letters are no novelty at the 20th Century-Fox Studio, either, said William B. Dover, personnel man- ager. Child stars seem to be the most vulnerable and because Dover's studio has two, Shirley Temple and Jane Withers, dozens of these letters are addressed to their parents every week. “Generally they are harmless,” said Dover. “Occasionally they go so far day, Tuesday and Wed Quick—for appointment.

The fan mail department automacically sends them to the Department of Justice.” Federal agents here, a few months ago, caused the arrest of two young men who wrote too often and too threateningly to little Miss Temple. Marlene Dietrich was convinced that the several letters threatening harm to her daughter Maria Were from cranks, but she hired six bodyguards anyway. Shirley Temple has long had a bodyguard who sleeps in a room ad- joining her, and doubles in the day- time as her chauffeur. Miss Withers, too, has a combination bodyguard- chauffeur. The Withers' new home is 50 wired that even if a door is opened after bedtime a signal flashes in the Beverly Hills Police Department. The windows of the nursery wing of the home of George Burns and Gracie Allen are heavily barred as a protective measure for their two youngsters.
