King Second
And Hitler Third
-U. S. View
By LOUISE MORGAN
ASKED Hugh Baillie (who should know) to name the present outstanding per- |sonalities in world news when I met him
to-day.
Baillie is a news expert. As president of the United Press of America he sells news to 1,100 papers in 40 countries and to 90 American radio stations.
He started in newspapers as reporter in 1910. Last year he interviewed Hitler, Mussolim, Litvinov und Laval
You may not agree with Boille's "news football eleven. Bere they are in order of popular interest:
Roosevelt
The Pope.
VELE.
King Edward
ilitler.
Stalin.
Hum.
Baldwin
Mussolini.
Lindbergh,
Joe Louls
Roosevelt is momentarily the cap- thin because of interest in his new programme.
WHY ALL MEN?
"There are all men on your list, I pointed out.
Joe Di Maggio didn't have DA much trouble reaching home for the Yankees in the World Series as he did in reaching home from the San Francisco Ferry Building. When the sensational rookie out- flelder landed in bis home town he was stormed by friends and wellwishers, cheered, slapped on the tmek and paraded up 'Market-st.
Robbery Theory In Riviera Murder:
Sailor Hunted
Paris, Dec. 1. FIVE French sailors, believed to have travelled in the
same coach as Mme, Suzanne Garola, Riviera train- murder victim, are to-day being hunted by French police, who wish to interview them.
An appeal has also been broadcast for all passengers on the train to come forward and give any help they cap.

Four clues have been found. Most important is a fair hair, be- lleved to be a man's; found on the rcat on which Mme. Qurola was Iying. I has been sent to Dr. Herand, police expert, at Marseilles.

"Since Mussolini went into Abya- nino," he said, "there has been an unprecedented run of world news which has changed all previous
standards.
JOBS AND THE FUTURE "Personalities in the world newn are now almost exclusively political. Theatre and cinema people have Juded.
"Politics and economics are no longer thought of in the abstract,, but are interpreted by the ordinary man and woman in terms of a job, food, shelter and the future of their children."
Another shift in popular Interest which has impened all over the world, he says, is the emphasis on peace instead of war.

WHY LINCOLN GREW A BEARD
GIRL WHO MADE HIM DIES AT 88
Delphos, Dec. 1. The "shocked" schoolgirl, who was reputed to bave Induced Abraham Lincoln to grow beard has died here at the age of 88.

She Was
Mrs. Grace Bedell Billings. As a school- girl of 11 during the election com- paign of 1800, she was "shocked" by the smooth-shaven face of Mr. Lin- coln as depicted on the posters. She therefore wrote to Mr. Lincoln advis. ing him to replace his smooth checks with the more manly whisker.
with
"Dear Mr. Lincoln," she wrqle. think you
would look better whiskers. Two of my brothers are Republicans, two are Democrats. I think I could got my Democratie brothers to vote for you if you worn a beard,"
The Republican Presidential can- didate wrote in reply: "Don't you think people would call it a silly nffection I began wearing whis- kera?"
However, after Mr. Lincoln had won the election he enme to West- feld, New York State, where the Ittle girl lived, and asked her to came forward.
"Mr. Lincoln climbed down through the crowd and sat down with me on the edge of the station platform," Mrs. Bulings recalled.
"''Gracle," he said. Look at my whiskers. I have been growing them for you." - Then he kissed me, I nover saw him again."--Router. ·
Partly on the advice of physicians, but largely on his own initiative, the Pontiff is refitting his life into a new routine. He is becoming more than ever i studious recluse.
He is afficted with the accumulated advanced age (the Pontiff is nearly 80) and worn by cares of office lately accentuated by the constant rumble of war-thunder, His publle appearances have been reduced in number.

NO WALKS NOW
Vatican authorities say that Pius's now rare pubile duties have given him more time for the vital problems facing the Catholic Church, for his books, and for personal correspon.. dence with bishops and cardinals.
