MIZSING WALKER FRIEND RETURNS Long-Sought Russell Sher wood Returns; Offers to Surrender Any Time NEW YORK—(®)—The New York American says in a copy-righted article that Russell T. Sherwood. long-hunted “mystery man” of the James J. Whlker case, has return ed to deny that a now-famous safe deposit box which he rented ever held wealth belonging to Walker, Grown gray, thin and nerve wracked since he vanished 21 months ago, Sherwood was found living with his wife in a fashion able suburb of New York. Sherwood, displaying emotion denied he ever was Walker’s fis cal agent. He disappeared, he sagd, hecause he feared investiga tor Samuel Seabury, then digging away at the inquiry which culmi nated in Walker's resignation as mayor, would pry into “my friend Jim's” private affairs. The long-missing witness, de seribed by Seabury as rising from an obscure accountant’s post to handle $1,000,000 in various broker age acounts, said that he is now “proke and jobless”. Newspapers said he is living in a S2OO-a-month apartment. “For almost two years” The American quoted him saying, e, | have been away from home and associates.

Face of Crisis Fostered By Newspapers NEW YORK, —(f)— The part that newspapers have played dur ing the present crisis was outlined Thursday by Louis Wiley, business manager of The New York Times, in an address before the Cham ber of Commerce of the State of New York, He said that had there been no newspapers to teil of “the various developments in Washington dur ing the early weeks of the Roose velt administration ‘“we should have been in chaos.” “The feeling of confidence and courage which we happily have today—and justifiably so, 1 believe would not be abroad in the land,” he asserted. “The loose talk of a dictator in Washington,”” he continued, “re minds us how different our sSit uation is today from that of an actual dictatorship, If there were an absolute dictator in the White House, the newspapers of our country would all be regimented, None would dare to oppose what the administration is doing. It would be a crime to question any of the acts of the administration just as it is a crime in Berlin and Moscow today to challenge the policies of Hitler and Sta.in. “Only a few weeks ago the greatest publishing house in Ger many was taken from its owners and the outstanding liberal news paper was turned overnight into 4 subservient administration organ. We are far away from the likeli hood of such outrage. The aboli tion of the freedom of the press s te act of a small-minded ruler fearful of te truth. The American people would not elect such a ruler and would not submit to sach acts of oppression if they were at tempted.” He praised President R_oosevelt for his relations with the press, aserting that *‘almost as never pbefore the news from Washington has been complete and accurate.’ No June Weddings For Naval Grads ANNAPOLIS, Md. —(#®)— There are to be no June week weddings of newly commissioned ensigns in the Naval academy chapel this year. . ¥ Under a rujing adopted by thc Navy department last yvear,” a ban is placed on marriages for a two | year period, after graduation.

Only unmarried, unattached wo men without jobs are being re eruited for the camps, Miss Per k Kins and Mrsg.

Frazier Jelke and his young wife, balked in their drive to divorce each other, would seek decrees elsewhere, stirred interest in Newport Thurs day. Judge Charles A. Walsh ruled late Wednesday that both were guilty of “extreme cruelty” toward each other and that therefore, un der the laws of Rhode Island, neither may have a divorce. The judge cleared the 27-year old Mrs. Eugenia Woodward Jelke, |tormer Alabama belle, of charges of ‘infidelity preferred by her mid dle-aged, millionaire husband dur ing a two-weeks court fight. There was no doubt, the judge said, that Pelke was infatuated with his wife, but he said he was not convinced that ‘“she recipro cated this affection.” The court expressed the belief Mrs., Jelke lmarrled to obtain luxury, but he did not attach blame to her for this because, he said, at her age "§uch things are to be expected, and she liked excitement, social affairs and a good time.” While upholding Jelke's charge tof cruel tréeatment, he cleared | Mrs. Jelke of his charge of ex cessive drinking and said there "was convincing evidence Jelke as ~saulted her seven times. The court ‘@eclared Jelke had proved extreme cruelty insofar as it had }been shown that = his wife cursed “him, bit him, taore his shirt, hu !m!llated him before his friends and nagged him.
