Bang! Bang!
Go The New
Hairdos
By BETTY CLARKE
Associated Press Beauty Editor
The bang hairdo is the new
mode decreed for spring by the
American Hair Design Institute,
which helps set coiffure styles
throughout the country.
Today’s bang-do is nothing like
the bang rage of the early 1920’s
Instead, you will be wearing
bangs that show imagination. You
may choose curled and puffed
bangs, ringlets that sweep low on
the forthead or bangs that slant
sidewise to form a heart-shaped
pattern.
Many will help conceal a bad
hairline, emphasize a good one or
take inches off a too-high fore
head.
It should be simple to select a
bang-up hairdo for spring.

Edward Jewett Martin Gets
20 Years In Slaying Case
BOONVILLE, Mo., Jan. 20. —(£■)
—A jury wrote finis on the last
tragic page of the life of Mrs. Ed
ward M. Jewett yesterday by send
ing her favorite grandchild to
prison for 20 years, convicted of
killing the grandmother who had
reared him.
The jury of seven Cooper county
farmers and five business men
needed only an hour to decide that
the grandson, 24-year-old Edward
Jewett Martin bludgeoned Mrs.
Jewett to death last May 9 and
then took her decomposing body
on a macabre automobile ride
across a half dozen states and tos
sed it into a North Carolina lake.
Disregarding defense pleas for a
manslaughter verdict or one find
ing the slender Charlotte, N. C„
chemist was insane at the time of
the slaying, the jury convicted
Martin of second degree murder
and fixed the sentence at 20 years.
Judge Charles H. Jackson pron
ounced sentence immediately, con
cluding- the swift two-day trial.
NOT NORMAL
Martin was composed. Earlier he
had burst into tears and buried his
face in his hands as a witness de
scribed the tenderness with which
he always had treated his grand
mother, calling her “mommy” and
frequently kissing and petting her.
Physicians testifying for the de
fense had expressed the opinion
that Martin was insane and two
kinsmen of the defendant said he
had never been normal.
-—.—
Two doctors presented by the
state offered opinions that he knew
right from wrong and one declared
he believed Mrs. Jewett was slain
by a sexual pervert.
Other echoes from Mrs. Jewett’s
troubled life were recalled. One
witness declared that shej^ad been
responsible for the separation of
Martin’s parents while he was still
a child.
DOUBLE MURDER
The defense brought out that
.Mrs. Jewett’s mother and sister
were hacked to death in their home
in Arkansas many years ago, a
mysterious double murder that has
never been solved.
Martin’s defense was based on a
statement given police officers in
which he said Mrs. Jewett was kill
ed accidentally when he backed a
car over her after she had fallen
from the automobile in trying to
wrest a bottle of rum away from
him. She had remonstrated with
him for drinking during their ride
near here the night she died, his
statement continued.
The statement related that he
intended to report to the police and
to his mother in Charlotte, but that
he lost his nerve and finally
weighted the body and threw it
into Eastwood Lake, near Durham,
N. C.
He was arrested in Durham May
20, 11 days after Mrs. Jewett dis
appeared, and the body was re
covered from the lake by divers
a week later.
Dallas ‘Boneheads’ Want Air
Tour For City Pound’s Dogs
DALLAS, Jan. 20—{£>)—'The Dal
las Bonehead club, organization
of funloving businessmen, has
voted a priority air tour around
the nation for the city pond’s 266
dogs.
“The dogs are waiting for the
boneheads to pay their license
fees,” R. G. Alexander, city pond
master, said today. “And, of
course, there is the matter of 266
priorities.”
Seizing on the flight of Col. El
liott Roosevelt’s dog to the West
Coast as an opportunity for rib
bing, club members, topped with
derby’s and wearing bibs, stopped
downtown traffic as they descend
ed on airlines offices.
They were accompanied by the
sedate St. Bernard on whose
massive head reposed a opera hat.
Headed by big Chief Bonehead
Jack Estes, the 30 men pounded
the counter of the Braniff Airline
agency and demanded “a class A
priority.”
They didn’t get it.
Then the men and the dog
marched into the American Air
line office and by now the St.
Bernard wore a conspicuous "pri
ority A” tag on his collar. An
American Airlines representative
smilingly promised a reservation
but didn’t say when.
The boneheads also decided to
change the name of groundhog
day, Feb. 2, to “ground-dog” day.
On this day dogs would be
grounded and people would get a
chance at plane reservations.
Hopes U. S. Will
Lead World In
News Freedom
NEW YORK, Jan. 20—(/P)—Kent
Cooper, executive director of the
Associated Press, today urged the
United States to iead the world
in the free exchange of informa
tion and said he hoped “the Pres
ident himself will be its chief ad
vocate.”
“The United States gave to the
world the ideal that news must be
undiluted and must flow freely
without interference by govern
ment,” Cooper said. "If we can
maintain our own record in this
regard during the whole war we
shall be, more than ever, the one
nation fortified to champion full
exchange of news at the peace
table.”
In an address for delivery over
the Blue network (3:20 p. m. EW
T) during an intermission of the
Metropolitan opera victory rally,
Cooper said he believed our gov
ernment “could profitably give
evidence of less distrust of its peo
ple even in war time.”
POWER OVER NEWS
“We are indeed having a taste
of government power over news
right now as a necessary war mea
sure,” he said. “For one, I do not
like so much of it. But realiza
i tion of how it works here in war
time—not in peace time — may
serve its highest purpose by giv-1
ing us an idea of how it works in |
other countries all the time.”

He said certain practices were
being employed here, under the
guise of censorship, “to suppress,

war that to the average Ameri
can do not make sense.”
“MILITARY SECURITY”
“It has occurred to me,” he
said, “that the phrase ‘military
security’ has too often been a cloak
to hide the bad guesses, or a dis
trust of the people, or a weak rea
son for doubting their national in
tegrity,
“As a result when things go
badly for the military effort, the
blameless people find themselves
blamed for not being excited about
the news of reverses that was
unwarrantedly withheld from them
for too long a period.”
