A—2 xxx SECURITY BOARD LIST GIVEN SENATE President Presents Names for Patronage Jobs for Confirmation. “The Senate got its long- awaited chance to pass on the patron- age jobs in the Social Security Board when President Roosevelt nominated for reappointment all the incumbent experts and attorneys getting $5,000 or more annually. The 1938 appropriation for the So- cial y Board, to which the Pr eady has objected, makes today &l these upper-bracket positions sub- ject to nommation by the sident and confirmation by the Senate.

D. Wainwright Accused in Warnings to Roosevelt. BOSTON, July 1 (#).—Federal of- flcers today arrested Morton D. Wain- wright, 72, of Winthrop and charged him with writing threatening letters to President Roosevelt. Text of the letters was not divulged, although officers said they threatened death to the President. The arrest was made by Alonzo H. Rice, a Secret Service agent. The letters were written over a 16-month period, authorities said. Wainwright formerly was a deputy United States marshal at Seattle, Wash. His arraignment was set for later in the day. The Federal men disclosed they also were anxious to trace crank letters addressed to the former Ethel du Pont, who yesterday became the bride of the Washington Wayside Tales Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. BOUNDARY. OR years one of the standard jokes around the West Coast has been the system whereby the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce determines the city limits of that metropolis. Seems that every time the C. of C. has another meet- ing the boys vote to move the signs back another mile or two, so that a motorist approaching Los Angeles sees signs claiming the territory for civilization even before he gets clear of Tucson. We'd always thought it funny, but not very important, that Los Angeles was determined to swallow the whole State of California, if possible, but the national implications of the situa- tion have been brought home only this week. A contingent of California Boy Scouts who arrived for the jamboree brought along & signpost of their own and planted it firmly at Seventeenth and Constitution avenue. It reads: “Los Angeles City Lim Think somebody ought to go around and notify Mr. Roosevelt that he's mayor. * kK PHOTOGRAPHERS. Which reminds us that we were a bit premature in saying yester- day that the Boy Scouts hadn't altered things very much around here.

The three Japanese were still at work taking pictures of the Wash= ington Monument and the Reflect- ing Pool (this probably is worked out in shifts between all the Japa- nese visitors to Washington), but on the outer rim of the circle were four or five Scouts, ined up with cameras, taking pictures of the Japanese.

There is in town at present a New York newspaper man who is spending his annual two weeks’ “rest” period here.

By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, July 1.—John Wauest Hunt, follower of Father Divine, was under conviction today on charges of transporting Delight Jewett, 17, from her Denver, Colo, home to Beverly Hills, Calif., for immoral pur- poses. The ju which last night found Hunt guilty, acquitted his co-defend- ants, Mrs. Agnes Gardner, Mrs. Eliza- beth Peters and H. B. Smith. Federal Judge Leon Yankwich set Friday as a date for sentencing Hunt and hearing pleas for a new trial. When the verdict was returned, Hunt asked, rhetorically: “Why can not these poor unfor- tunate individuals understand me?” Hugh Macbeth, Hunt's colored at- torney, referred to the defendants in his closing arguments as “these poor saps.” “Consider these poor saps,” Macbeth pleaded. *They were rich in one sense, but poor in the wonderful things of life, unul they struck a new channel of the spirit.

Mrs. Miller also said her husband had lost several lower teeth.
