RUSH REPRIEVE i
SAVES ELEPHANT
“KILLER” PACHYDERM
FINDS FRIEND SUPERI
OR COURT JURIST
SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 (TP)—
“Wally” is still alive today because
a Superior Court judge ruled that
the old boy hadn’t been given a fair
chance.
•‘Wally” is an elephant attached to
the Fleishacker Zoo herd. He was
a zoo favorite Tuesday, when he at
tacked his keeper, Edward Brown,
and trampled the man to death.
The elephant was scheduled to be
shot as a ''killer.” Just a few minutes
before police department rifles were
due to crackle out his death knell,
an attorney, Alexander Mosslln, dash
ed into Superior Court, pleaded that
the elephant be given another
chance, and secured a writ from
Judge Frank T. Deasy, postponing the
execution.
The judge based his ruling on the
fact that ‘ Wally” never had appear
ed vicious before Jits attack on Brown,
and the theory tnat bhe elephant had
reason to fly into a rage, when he
swung on his keeper. The scheduled
execution brought protests from hun
dreds of animal lovers, residents, in
cluding the mayors of San Francisco
and Oakland.

i WHY BLONDES?
PHYSICIAN SAYS LIGHT
HAIRED WOMEN SUB
JECT PROSTRATION
LONDON, June 18 (TP)—Dr. Don
ald Blatchey is out to learn whether
or not his fellow-physicians agree
with him when he says:
‘‘Doctors certainly do not prefer
blondes.”
Dr. Blatchey Is using the columns
of the British medical journal to
prove his point. The London special
ist maintains that blondes especially
women, react unfavorably to anaes
thetics. Every case of prostration un
der anaesthesia he’s had, said the
doctor, has occurred when a blonde
was the patient.
"It might be my own personal ex
perience alone,” Dr. Blatchey said.
"I’d like to hear if any other doc
tors have had the same experiences.”

NEW BIDDING SYSTEM
SPLITS BRIDGE TEAM
NEW YORK. June 18 (TP)—The
famous bridge team known as the
"four aces" are only “three aces” to
day.
The team, which has won top hon
ors in a score of major tournaments,
is minus its captain, Michael T. Got
tlieb. Gottlieb was tossed off the
squad by the three other members,
allegedly because he insisted on using
a bidding system that didn't meet
with their approval.
The three remaining members of
the team —David Burnstine, Oswald
Jacoby and Howard Schenken—say
they’re still in the dark as to what
caused Gottlieb to rebel against the
old four aces bidding system. "The
only thing I can think of,” said
Schenken, "is that Mike was married
not long ago.”

Market Letter
WALDO YOUfiG—Although senti
ment is almost wholly bullish, and. al
though rails as well as industrials
have registered new high marks for
the May-June phase, the action is not
a genuine bull market action. Doubt
less there would be further develop
ment of the rise, but it is likely to be
selective rather than broad. More
over, I continue firmly of the opinion
that we are not witnessing a broad
advance that will be sustained for a
matter of months. I believe the base is
yet to be made for a fall business and
market expansion. That means ex
pectations of lower prices between
now and the end of summer. I would
not expect it to make new highs in
both rails and industrials.
TOPlCS—Commonwealth & South
ern, think reasonable expect 50 to
100 percent profit over balance of
year. New York Central, would take
advantage of any dip to buy New
York Central. Collins and Aikman,
we can see nothing to stop stock from
going through for a new high. Looks
like a buy at market to us. Murray
Corpn, it has been a long time com
ing, but we believe the time is here
for an upward move. National Supply,
expect fifty and up here later. South
ern Ry. Pfd, would buy any early
weakness here. Would buy Delaware
Lackawanna near 17, it is cheap.
