that a special session would “cut the

since the Forsyth man many times
declared his object in coming to the

McDonald candidacy is strong enough

It is here again. And the greeting is the same because it can’t
be improved upon by any juggling of words. And the sincer
ity is just ar real as it ever was, because it can’t be any more
so than it has always been.
The news staff, the business office, the composing room,
all the news boys and the management—the whole organiza
tion—of this newspaper extend to all their friends and to
every man, woman, boy and girl everywhere the old, old wish
and greeting at this happy season—
A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND

Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 24 (AP)
Two loves of Thelma Todd, and an old
and a “new marvelous romance”
were studied by grand jury inquisi
tors today in an effort to find a pos
sible murder motive in the strange
death of the actress December 15.
Waiting to apepar before the grand
jury, Ida Lupino, screen actress, and
her father, Stanley Lupino, English
comedian, told the district attorney’s
office of a “vacant chair” at Miss
Todd’s last party, and of a fresh ro

“Thelma and I slipped off by bar

Miss Lupino related. “She said to me

The student throngs pledged sup

Moscow, Dec. 21. —(AP) —The Soviet
Union, in a thinly disguised warning
to Germany and Japan, announced
today that its submarine and destroy
er fleets have been made four times
their former size in the last four
years.
A statement printed in the gov
ernment newspaper Izvcstia said that
the coast guard fleet had been in
creased 1.100 percent, but gave no
figures bearing oil the actual strength
of any naval unit.
The whole statement bristled with
emphasis on Russia's undersea pow
er in the Pacific and Baltic and ap
peared to foreign observers to be
particularly significant, coming as it
did on the heels of the alleged threat
by Japan in Manchukuo to invade
Oilier Mongolia.
