NOTED EXPLORER WED INROCKVILE Texas Girl, 25, Bride of Dr. Cyril Von Baumann, 44, at Pastor’s Home. By & Btaft Correspiondent of The S:ar. ROCKVILLE, Md., December 1.— Dr. Cyril von Baumann of Baltimore, Naval Academy graduate who has gained widespread recognition as an explorer, surgeon and hero of an ocean rescue, and Miss Helen Eliza- beth Smith of Munday, Tex, were married here yesterday afternoon. Dr. von Baumann, who is 44, and Miss Smith, 25, were married by the Rev. George Mays, a retired Meth- odist minister, at the latter's home in Rockville and left immediately on their honeymoon. They did not dis- close their destination. The groom had recently returned from an expedition to Ecuador, of which he was co-director with Andre Roosevelt, a cousin of the President. Graduated in 1911. Dr. von Baumann graduated from the Naval Academy in 1911 and was one of the five members of his class to study medicine. He studied at the University of Heidelburg. He served with the Marine Corps during the war and after the armis- tice entered the Merchant service as 8 ship’s surgeon and began studying for ship's officers papers. He took an examination for first officer's papers in 1932 while serving as surgeon aboard the Baltimore Mail Steam- ship Co.s City of Newport News. Aided in Rescue. While chief surgeon aboard the American Merchant in January, 1933, he participated in the thrilling rescue of 22 men from a sinking British freighter in midocean. He aimed the brass cannon which sent a line over the Exeter, the freighter, and enabled the men to leave the sinking vessel. His return from the expedition to Ecuador was made last September to obtain equipment to catch the “big- gest snake known.” At that time Dr. von Baumann said the expedition had found traces of a monster snake in the interior of Ecuador. Its imprints indicated, he said. it was more than was a 33-foot anaconda. Dr. von Baumann said the expedi- tion had been distracted by the dis- taining evidence that “20 or 30 cen- turies ago” South America was linked with Asia. Hirota (Continued From First Page.) Fukushima Prefecture and had plan- ned to spend part of it to bribe Hi- rota’s chauffeur in order to get near enough to the premier to attack him. Pockets Are Rifled. But when he stopped to buy & bottle of milk, he told police, his pockets . were picket clean. Penniless, he sat | on a park bench to think over the sit- uation. The milk, apparently, was contam- fnated. Watanabe soon became vio- lently ill. A passing policeman offered | to massage his stomach. While performing this service the patrolman discovered the dynamite PREMIER HIROTA. and the petitions concealed in Wata- nabe’s clothing. He immediately took ‘Watanabe to the police station, where, officials said, he confessed. ‘The Domei (Japanese) News Agency reported the arrest of an alleged ac- complice of Watanabe at Wakamatshu, Pukushima Prefecture. The accomplice, Kakuhei Matsu- moto, was dealared to have plotted with Watanabe to kill the premier in the hope of attracting public attention to agrarian disputes. The petitions found on Watanabe asked cabinet members to care for the situation to arise from the assassina- tion of the premier. The spearhead, police said Wata- nabe told them, was to be used to com- mit hara-kiri after he had killed Hi- rota, whom he charged with ignoring the hardships of farmers. Officials expressed belief Watanabe ‘was suffering from mentel illness, Lowest Cotton Wages.
