Just read your column in to- day's journal That item you had about our new bat- tery was a pip. By the way, Joe, we're having a little par- ty tonight. How about coming down and giving us a talk? “Sure,” said Joe. “Sure, T'll be there. Thanks!” Joe made his way through the city room of the Ettahart Journal. Milt Forbes, chief of the Ettahart police department, en route to Editor Graham's office, spotted him and called a friendly greeting. Tom Jenks, editorial writer, stopped him and asked his advice on a matter pertaining to the proposed new municipal building. May Hill, society editor, waylaid him | and practically begged him to accom- pany her that night to the annual dance of the High Hat Club. “I promised I'd try to get you to Joe, They're dying to have “Sure,” Joe promised. like to go.” At the door Joe was overtaken by & copy boy. ‘Mr. Conroy wants to see you, Joe. He's waiting in his office.” Joe grinned at the boy and the boy beamed. There was worship in his eyes. “What's on your mind, boss?” Joe asked as he eased into a chair in Mr. Conroy's office. Conroy was the Jour- nal's managing editer. “Joe, I have a letter from my friend Mike Blaine of the New York Star. He wants to buy you. He'll pay you “Sure, I'd write a column for them.” Joe blinked. “Holy smoke!™ “We're paying you $30. I might raise that to $35. That's the best I can do. You know how we're situated. You're the best writer we’ve ever had. I guess we'll all hate to see you go.” “Gosh, I'll hate it, too, boss!” Then Joe began dreaming—$150 a week. He could do a lot on that. New York! Gosh, this Mike Blaine must think he was pretty good. It looked like he ‘was on his way to a brilliant career. * K Kk ok ’I‘HE Journal gave Joe a farewell party the night before he left for New York. Half the town was there. Joe made a speech and they cheered him. There was a lump in his throat when the party broke up. Two days later he landed in New York. Mike Blaine was friendly, but he was too busy to give Joe much time. He turned him over to Tracy Pease, the city editor. Pease assigned him a desk and told him to browse around and pick up some stuff for his column. Joe browsed around and gathered what he thought was some tasty items He tapped off his column in his usual Linguist Sleuth Out.

He was sat- isfied with it. And apparently Pease and Mike Blaine were satisfied, too. At least they didn’t say otherwise. No- body, however, called him up and complimented him. The Star's city room was & tre- mendous place and every one was busy. There were so many working | there, so much coming and going that no one ap- peared acquainted with any one else. Joe wandered around like a lost sheep. Joe continued to write his column and when the week was over he got $150. The amount staggered him, buoyed his spirits. The next week Mike Blaine ar- ranged for him to attend a party for newspaper columnists. All the big shots were there. Names that Joe had heard and whose stuff he'd read. He was awed. He sat inconspicuously and heard them make speeches. No one asked him to talk. * kX % A!'IER a while Joe began to get invited around. He attended functions and visited night clubs. His hosts were kind, but there was always one of the big shots around to steal the limelight. When he explained who he was and what he did, in reply to questions, people said: “Oh, yes.” Joe was lonesome. The friends he made were nice. His fellow workers were kind. Blaine and Pease were satisfied with his column, but he was lonesome. He wondered why. He thought about it. He brooded. And before the sec- ond month was p he knew. One day he sent a telegram. An answer came back that night. The next morning was back in Ettahart. Joe sat in his office just off the city room of the Ettahart Star and the |Also telephone jingled. He picked it up. “Hello, Joe?

The digni- tary spotted Joe and waved a friendly hand. May Hill, the society editor, called to him and asked him to go with her to a lawn party the next day. He said sure. he'd like to.

Mr. Lewis, the high schaol su- perintendent, stopped to pass the time of day and mention his column. Joe continued on down the street. Saturday he'd get a pay envelope with $30 in it. He was content.

J,, July 7.—Six- teen-year-old Jerry May, “‘guinea pig” in the test case of a New Jersey juve- nile delinquency law, today faced trial on a murder charge in the Fall unless his counsel and the State agree be- forehand on some sort of a guilty plea. Opposing attorneys said today they were willing to end the protracted case with a plea, but they have been unable to agree on the charge. “I would accept a plea to second- degree murder, which has a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, but not to manslaughter with its 10-year top,” said Hudson County Prosecutor Daniel T. O'Regan. Guilty Plea Held Impossible. “The prosecutor,” said Defense Counsel Irving Eisenberg, “has made it impossible for us to plead guilty, as he wants us to plead to a murder charge. We would plead guilty to man- slaughter, as alienists agree it would be a sad thing to put this boy on trial.” Jerry—his real name is Gido L. Mei RESORTS. OCEAN CITY, MD.

Jerry was 15 at the time, and thus came under a 1935 statute which held that & youth under 18 “lacks the men- tal capacity to commit a crime” and could be charged only with juvenile delinquency. ©Officials decided to test the constitu- tionality of the law and presented the evidence to the Hudson County grand jury. An indictment for murder was returned, and nuwnerous court efforts by Jerry's attorneys to take the case out of the criminal courts failed. New Jersey's highest court, the Court of Errors and Appeals, finally ruled that murder is an indictable offense, re- gardless of age. In Cell More Than Year. First confined in the Hudson County parental home in Bayonne, Jerry was removed more than a year ago to a cell in the county jail. “Five noted brain men examined him and all said he was sane,” Prose- cutor O'Regan reported. “So we'll have to proceed with the trial whether we want to or not.” Eisenberg agreed the specialists judged Jerry sane now, but said they “believe he suffered from some sort of epileptic furor at the time of the at- tack.” e Mexico will censor all motion pic- tures before they enter or leave the country. -5 C, WED COMPROMISE SOUGHT iN SCOTTSBORO CASE Settlement Urged Despite Schedul- ing of New Trials for Nine Men Next Week.
