"How?” we asked again. “I just keeps my big mouth shut.” Incidentally, we hope Lindbergh’s teacher doesn’t see this or we might be minus one street sales man.

Know any male who wouldn’t like to go boating with Ava? The Truth About Ava their calls when they phoned. SOMEWHAT ANGRY AT MGM On her arrival from South Amer ica, scene of an international inci dent in a Rio de Janeiro hotel, Ava was reluctant about posing for cameramen. She was tired and di sheveled from the long plane trip and from what her Hollywood press agent described as “a nervous crisis,” brought on by her row with Brazil. She observed that she particu larly didn’t want to pose for newt reels. “But Ava,” a publicity man ventured, “MGM has its newsreels here.” The MGM star flared up angrily. “Especially not MGM,” she said resolutely. At her hotel, the green-eyeo beauty’s mood changed. She was amused by reports that Hollywood columnist Louella Parsons had de scribed her hospitalization in Spain for a kidney stone ailment as a “strategic retreat.” “If Lolly had my kidney stones,” she cracked, “I don’t think she’d be writing about strategic re treats.” Then, as eagerly as a child, she asked a studio man, “How’d you like to see my picture?” she dug out a stack of X-ray photos she had brought back from Spain and pointed enthusiastically. “S e e there, that’s my bladder, there’s my kidneys, and there there are the damn kidney stones.” Despite Ava’s beauty, intimates are most impressed by what lies under the peerless facade. “She is generous, opinionated, warmheart ed and totally irresponsible,” an admirer observes, “but she never lets down a friend.” “She is the rare female,” relates actress Phyllis Kirk, “whom you can phone at 2 or 3 in the morn ing, when dark thoughts keep you from sleep. “Come over and let’s talk about it.” Ava would say, “I’ll talk so much about those days back in North Carolina that you’ll be glad to go home and get to sleep.’ ” In 13 years, Ava has come a long way, perhaps too long, her friends money in that town,” says Joe Paul Hansel of Charlotte, chief of The Associated Press in the two Carolinas, was a visitor here yesterday ..

Ava, after all, is a three-time, loser.” Robeson Hen Get Life Terms LUMBERTON (IP) The state accepted pleas of guilty today from four defendants charged with first, degree murder in the robbery slaying of an elderly storekeeper. Life terms are mandatory under such pleas and Solicitor Malcdlm Seawell said it is “very unlikey” that any of the defendants would “ever be paroled." Seawell agreed to accept the pleas of guilty to each of three charges against the defendant*— first degree murder, armed fob bery and conspiracy to comrhlf armed robbery. The pleas ended a weeklong effort to selct a jury Only six jurors had ben seated after three days of questioning a, regular venire andtwo special ven ires. In addition to the life sentences, each defendant was sentened to 30 years for armed robbery and to 10 years each for conspiracy to aceberey commit armed robbery with term* to run consecutively. Life sentences on the murder charges alone would have made the defendants eligible for parole in about 20 years. . The defendants, Hubert Britt, 38. Morris Britt, 22, Henry Sampson. 18, and Hoover Jones, 23, showed no emotion. Their wives and rela tives sobbed as the men stood be before Judge Henry L. Stevens. Hu bert Britt’s wife collapsed. The four were arrested two week* after the *62 robbery-slaying of Arthur W. Armington Sr., at Arm ington’s store near here last Nqy 12.

Hanna sind members of the council’a copy of the new city ordinance*. Copies Girl's Body Found After 141 Years MONROE, La. (IP) —Authorities said today the body of a young woman, found perfectly preserved although it was buried 141 years ago, will be held “for a while" in the event someone wants to claim it. , Workmen who unearthed the re mains of the beautiful woman in black Thursday said the body was in a state of “perfect preserva tion." Unfortunately, they broke a glass window through which the woman’s serene face was visible, and decomposition -began to set in. City officials said they will re bury the odd-shaped, cast-iron casket in a cemetery if they can find no one with a rightful claim in the body. James Brooks of a local funeral home said the unusual preserva tion apparently was possible be cause the casket was absolutely airtight. As soon as air reached the body the 141-year preservation was ended. The find was made on the banks of Bayou Isesiani by workmen digging a water trench. The burial date shown on a sil yer plaque was Sept. 7, 1814, long before modern embalming meth ods were rediscovered. The woman's age was given as 30 and the name “St. Clair” was given, but nothing more. She was dressed In black silk and clutched a lace handker chief. A diamond ring glittered on her I finger. Magnolia blosoms and leaves were draped besid the body. No descendants of the mystery woman"s family could be found Immediately. City officials ' indicated they; would hold the body because there are many St. Clair families in Louisiana and a link with the woman might be established. Erwin Youths Hurt In Wreck Six Erwin teen-agers are in the hospital as the result of injuries received in Robeson County in which one woman was killed in stantly. The accident occurred near the Sandy Grove Church when a car driven by one of the youths col lided with another vehicle operated by Paul Vance (Johnson, 33, of Cumberland Mills. Johnson’s wife was killed in stantly. Authorities said the accident oc curred when the car containing the six Erwin young people came out of a side road and struck the other car. Mr. Johnson suffered chest and arm injuries and is in Highsmith Hospital at Fayetteville. ERWIN’S INJURED The Erwin youngsters injured were: Ellen Avery, 16, back injuries; Scott Wade, 16, minor lacerations and bruises; Pvt. Edward Smih, 18, scalp injuries; Betty Gray Byrd, sinal injuries; Herbert Phillip*, in juries to the right arm, right ankle head anl back injuries; and Billy Gerald Byrd, 17, back njuries.

She was the.lß only one of his many girls remembered in his will. He left her SIO,OOO 1 Rubinstein (Continued From Page One) associates, who remained a friend to the last, this writer learned. This man—one of the few Ru binstein intimates willing to talk candidly thinks Rubinstein may have died of a heart attack in the excitement of the plot which he believes went wrong. Or says this informant the kidnappers may have had to kill him when he refused to go along j with what revenge-seeking com petitors considered the cruelest joke they could ever play on a man without business ethics. The Russian - born Rubinstein had his own troubles over depor ! tation . Up to the time of his death, he’d resisted successfully, but a deportation order against him still was pending in the courts. In the 30s, he had picked up a Portuguese passport —by fraud and entered this country byway of Canada in 1938. This govern ment never recognized the pass port. During his draft-dodging trou bles, he belatedly claimed that he was exempt from service because he was a citizen of Portugal, a neutral country. Tuesday, Rubinsttein’s friend de scribed the strange plot concocted as a means to succeed where the government failed. “I heard this plan outlined in detail some weeks, ago by a, top business man as «eming from a business rival of Sedge’s,’' ttoji in formant told this Monday night after returning from the funeral. “It seemed so weird I couldn’t credit then. “I didn’t tell Serge because he wouldn’t have spent S4OO or SSOO a month on bodyguards anyway. “And now I hear it from others in Rubinstein’s own business cir cles who also believe that may happened. “The tying of his hands, you’l! notice, appears almost to have been done in a friendly fashion. “The kidnapers may have said to him, ‘You cooperate and noth ing serious will happen to you.’ “Then I believe they may have Coffee And (Continued From Page One) “That’s the purpose of these little sessions.—to enable every member to sound off with his own personal views and ideas as to what the chamber is doing right, what we’re doing wrong and what we need to do.” The sessions ■ will prove very in expensive because Manager Car roll is securing a coffee urn for the chamber and his secretary, Marie Craven, will brew the coffee. “We’re going to have a great time and do some real construc tive work along with it,’> said Car roll today.

Rubinstein’s enemies probably - paid $50,000 or SIOO,OOO for this job, this friend contends—and even tfeafe price wasn’t too high, he feels. J “I saw him at 6:45 p.m. the dayj he was killed.
