Mr. Kenneth Wood, an official of the afted States Fidelity and Guar- anty Company, has shattered the general idea that embezzlers are handsome men with

Another woman, who later com mitted suicide, stole £1.025 to keep her boy friend at the races.
Average Embezzler
Mr. Wood, who has been chasing embezzlers for 32 years, carries this picture of the "average embezzler":
"He is about 30, married, with twoj children. Ile is brighter than the average workers and has a better future. He earns about £20 a week, but that is not enough to keep up with his living."
Since 1938 emblezzlement figures have doubled in the United States, and now, in the period of shortages, the sky is the limit.

The company finally went bank- rupt and the Islands were left in the hands of Mr and Mrs Fullard-Leo, who continued to trade in fah nnd cojira.
In a letter received by her brother In Capetown, Mrs Fullard-Leo slated that the American Government had hired two of the inlands for naval purposes at a fee of 2000. She signed the contract, but later heard from Washington that the Govern- ment would use the Island regardless of private rights.
U.S. Government to Appeal
The Government decided to refer the case to the Federal Court for decision, its argument being that the lalands originally belonged to King Kamehamahau of Howall, and that when the Hawallan Islands were an- Islands nexed in 1898, Palmyra should have been included.
Mrs Fullard-Leo declared that they had bought the klande directly from the former owner complete with title and transfer. The case came before the Honolulu

The Government appealed to the higher Court at San Francisco and twice a decision was given to trans-
