The strange fear of the actress, who amassed an estimated $1,000,000 in seven years of screen success, was described by Violet Denoyer, friend and make-up attendant for Miss Harlow. "Jean looked at me strangely one morning—the same day she was taken ill," said Miss Denoyer. " 'You know, Violet,' she told me, 'I have a feeling I'm going away from here and never coming back.'" Wore Sapphire Ring. Ever since Christmas the 26-year- old actress had worn a huge star sapphire ring on the third finger of her right hand. It was a gift from William Powell. In death her hair was not the platinum hue she made famous, it was what she had described as a "honey blonde," its natural color before she entered the movies. Mist Harlow was wearing the natural shade i.i her last film when she was sticken with her fatal ill- ness of uremic poisoning. The body was held at a mortuary for her mother and immediate rela- tives to look upon a last time be* fere a funeral service tomorrow. No Demonstration. Miss Harlow's mother, Mrs. Jea Bello, and her stepfather, Marino' Bello, fought to forestall demon* stratlons by great throngs of> cur- ious persons like those which saw Valentino as hf lay in state and which greeted the train that borj his body across the continent.

HEW YORK, June 8 (U.P.).- Girolamo Valenti, editor of the anti-Fascist newspaper La Stanipa Libera, published today what he said were copies of orders issued daily in recent months by Minister of Press and Propaganda Dino Aflieri to the newspapers of Italy. Mr. Valenti said the documents had been obtained from employes of the Italian government "at great risk." As published they indicated that Italian newspapers have been Instructed to publish nothing about the bombardment of "inhabited centers" by Spanish Fascists. The alleged orders published by Mr. Valenti covered the period from Jan. 5 to May 10, 1937. Some samples: "Jan. 12—-Don't ever attack Swit- zerland and never publish any news that may annoy her government. "Feb. 26—Insist on the eventuality that (Anthony) Eden may leave the (British) Foreign Office post. See that the dispatches on Eden's resig- nation come from London. "March 17—Make every effort not to give the impression that there is a lull in the military operations in Spain "March 31-r-Watch with keen and ironic hostility the news published by some English newspaper on the plan of mutual assistance about the Little Entente. "April 14—Reproduce and enlarge the news-dispatch by 'Stefani' (of- ficial Italian news agency) from London about the invoking of a big fire that would destroy the filthy popular section of London, un- worthy of a civilized epoch. Add that had Edward VIII remained on the throhe he would have remedied the situation., "May 6—Express deep sympathy to Germany for the loss of the Hindenburg. There must not be published any article or reference to the English coronation," Mr. Valenti declared that' the orders were "an example of what could happen to the American press If Fascism ever succeeded in de- stroying democracy in America."

Four lawsuits against nine archi- tects on the Kenfield housing project were settled suddenly out of court today about an tour after the trial of the first actions began before Justice George A.

"You and I have misted a very Interesting case, i c e m e n . " he said. "It has ended suddenly." i The first suit was brought by George R. White, 175 Cumberland avenue, structural engineer of the Kenfield project, against the fol- lowing nine architects: Chester Oakley, Robert North, Mortimer J. Murphy, Paul F. Mann, Fr^d R. Hop- kins, Earl Martin, Louis Greenstein, George J. Dietel and Albert A Rumschick. Mr. White alleged that the archi- tects owed him an,07l.39, mad* up of $7640 as part of his fee and 13931.39 for services and expenses. The architects contended that $8380.83 had been paid to Mr. White. They also filed a counter claim lor $2074.83. The plaintiffs in the other three cases were: Howard 1*.

It flows from! the nerve endings in the eye known as rods. Only these rods can "see" in dim light. Night blindness, until the new optical test was perfected a few weeks ago, was supposed to be con- fined mostly to people pn very poor diets, who ate almost no vitamin A. It was common in Russia during the war. Medical men did not dream that the same blindness could affect large numbers of Americans who ate perfectly adequate food. Seeing in either daytime or bright light is done with a different set of nerves known as cones. They have hone of the dark fluid. While they are at work the purple fluid washes out of the rods. Without it the rods cannot see.

Jean Harlow Is Clad in White for Funeral Services Tomor­row; Mother Seeks to Avoid Demonstrations by F a n s .

Chamber of Commerce "Commodores" Off on Cruise

LOS ANGELES, June 8 (*>.—The body ol Jean Harlow, clad In white,

-her favorite color, lay In a bronze coffin today as a close associate recalled that the blonde film star voiced a premonition of death when she was stricken ill on May 29.

The strange fear of the actress, who amassed an estimated $1,000,000 in seven years of screen success, was described by Violet Denoyer, friend and make-up attendant for Miss Harlow.

"Jean looked at me strangely one morning—the same day she was taken ill," said Miss Denoyer.

" 'You know, Violet,' she told me, 'I have a feeling I'm going away from here and never coming back.'"

Wore Sapphire Ring. Ever since Christmas the 26-year-

old actress had worn a huge star sapphire ring on the third finger of her right hand. It was a gift from William Powell.

In death her hair was not the platinum hue she made famous, it was what she had described as a "honey blonde," its natural color before she entered the movies.

Mist Harlow was wearing the natural shade i.i her last film when she was sticken with her fatal ill­ness of uremic poisoning.

The body was held at a mortuary for her mother and immediate rela­tives to look upon a last time be* fere a funeral service tomorrow.

No Demonstration. Miss Harlow's mother, Mrs. Jea

Bello, and her stepfather, Marino' Bello, fought to forestall demon* stratlons by great throngs of> cur­ious persons like those which saw Valentino as hf lay in state and which greeted the train that borj his body across the continent.

Miss HarloW will hot lie in state. The coffin will be closed when pri­vate funeral services are held at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Wee Kirk O' the Heather in Glen* dale.

After the service, Miss Harlow's body will be placed in a crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial park, where the body of Valentino lies.

"Jean'* mother wishes It so," said Mr. Bello, divorced from Mrs. Bello two years but united with her in common grief. "She wants Jean to remain In the memory of her fans as she was in life, so the body will not lie in state."

PRESS CRUSHED, FASCIST FOE SAYS

Prints Alleged Italian Orders Governing News' Handling.

HEW YORK, June 8 (U.P.).-Girolamo Valenti, editor of the anti-Fascist newspaper La Stanipa Libera, published today what he said were copies of orders issued daily in recent months by Minister of Press and Propaganda Dino Aflieri to the newspapers of Italy.

Mr. Valenti said the documents had been obtained from employes of the Italian government "at great risk." As published they indicated that Italian newspapers have been Instructed to publish nothing about the bombardment of "inhabited centers" by Spanish Fascists.

The alleged orders published by Mr. Valenti covered the period from Jan. 5 to May 10, 1937. Some samples:

"Jan. 12—-Don't ever attack Swit­zerland and never publish any news that may annoy her government.

"Feb. 26—Insist on the eventuality that (Anthony) Eden may leave the (British) Foreign Office post. See that the dispatches on Eden's resig­nation come from London.

"March 17—Make every effort not to give the impression that there is a lull in the military operations in Spain

"March 31-r-Watch with keen and ironic hostility the news published by some English newspaper on the plan of mutual assistance about the Little Entente.

"April 14—Reproduce and enlarge the news-dispatch by 'Stefani' (of­ficial Italian news agency) from London about the invoking of a big fire that would destroy the filthy popular section of London, un­worthy of a civilized epoch. Add that had Edward VIII remained on the throhe he would have remedied the situation.,

"May 6—Express deep sympathy to Germany for the loss of the Hindenburg. There must not be published any article or reference to the English coronation,"

Mr. Valenti declared that' the orders were "an example of what could happen to the American press If Fascism ever succeeded in de­stroying democracy in America."

Actions Against Architects for Housing End Out ol Court as First Trial Opens.

» ». •

Four lawsuits against nine archi­tects on the Kenfield housing project were settled suddenly out of court today about an tour after the trial of the first actions began before Justice George A. Larkin of Su­preme court

Reports that sensational dis­closures would have been made it the cases had gone to trial^ were substantiated by Justice Larkin In hi* dismissal ol the Jury.

"You and I have misted a very Interesting case, i c e m e n . " he said. "It has ended suddenly."

i The first suit was brought by George R. White, 175 Cumberland avenue, structural engineer of the Kenfield project, against the fol­lowing nine architects: Chester Oakley, Robert North, Mortimer J.

Murphy, Paul F. Mann, Fr^d R. Hop­kins, Earl Martin, Louis Greenstein, George J. Dietel and Albert A Rumschick.

Mr. White alleged that the archi­tects owed him an,07l.39, mad* up of $7640 as part of his fee and 13931.39 for services and expenses. The architects contended that $8380.83 had been paid to Mr. White. They also filed a counter claim lor $2074.83.

The plaintiffs in the other three cases were: Howard 1*. Davidson, plumbing and beating engineer; Samuel N. Galvin, electrical en­gineer, and Daniel S. White, adviser for the project.

Night blindness, until the new optical test was perfected a few weeks ago, was supposed to be con­fined mostly to people pn very poor diets, who ate almost no vitamin A. It was common in Russia during the war.

Medical men did not dream that the same blindness could affect large numbers of Americans who ate perfectly adequate food.

Seeing in either daytime or bright light is done with a different set of nerves known as cones. They have hone of the dark fluid. While they are at work the purple fluid washes out of the rods. Without it the rods cannot see.

Flanked by a commodore—Henry W. Wendt -and no less than eight Vice commodores, "Admiral" Edwin J. Schwanhausser, president of the Chamber of Commerce when he's on land, gave the proper signal and the S. S. Seeandbee headed out into Lake Erie this afternoon on the chamber's all-Buffalo cruise.

Admiral Schwanhausser lacked the natty headgear which admirals in pictures always wear, but he and his commodore and vice commo­dores and five rear admirals did a very nice job, indeed,, of navi­gating the treacherous territory off the C. & B. dock, foflt of Erie street, the sailing point.

The finish was 8% hours ahead— 10:30 o'clock tonight, when the cruise committee has guaranteed to land everyone.

735 Sail. It took a very few minutes after

boarding ship for the officers to assume command and leave actual manipulation of the vessel to men hired for that purpose.

The decision Was reached at a conference on the dock Just before sailing time at a reception for the '735 guests—the reception consist­ing of many hearty greetings.

George M. Markham, J u n i o r chamber president, headed a com­mittee which greeted J u n i o r cruisers.

Next in direct command to the admiral were Rear Admirals Robert F. Hicks, Harry A. Howard, Wil* liam Cameron Baird, aU vice presi­dents of the chamber, and Frank S. Hershey, treasurer, and Samuel Botsford, executiversecretary of the chamber.

Veterans There. t

Potential admirals in their own right, their sea legs gained by cruises of past years and a fishing trip or two in between, were Vice Commodores E. Harold Brayer, John J. Brink worth, Henry P. Burgard II—who also got his name on the program as a member of the recep­tion committee—-George C. Lehman, Victor Holden, Dennis J. Maley, Walter A. Yates and Bernard J. Yungbluth.

New directors elected this year had some mystery mission the nature of which was ^not to be divulged until the ship was well at sea. For the time being, they were designated as special sergeants*at* arms and were listed as John W. DePorest, Edward F. Entwisle, Col-William Kelly, William R. Morris, Thomas C. O'Brien, Walter W. Schneckenburger, Admiral Schwan­hausser, Myron S. Short and Vice-Commodore Yungbluth.

It looked to the folks who stayed behind that it was going to be a very successful affair.

With the anticipated promotion Of Col. Ralph K.

As a result, several officers who have been prominent figures in the serv­ice in Buffalo for many years may be effaced.

Col. Robertson commands the 174th infantry. Maj. Edwin G. Zieg-ler, executive officer of 54th brigade, is expected to.be withdrawn from his post to make way for Maj. Joseph W. Robinson, who now is plans and training officer of the 174th infantry.

Maj. Ziegler, it is said, will be asked to take Maj. Robinson's post in the infantry regiment, but re­ports from reliable sources indicate that he will decline. The logical sequence to that would be his sepa­ration from the service.

command, Col. Robertson will be followed as head of the 174th in­fantry by Maj. Joseph W. Becker, second battalion commander. •

In moving to promote Maj. Becker to a colonelcy, divisional military authorities will carry him over the heads of two other officers both senior to him and each having a record of long field service in the Mexican, border campaign and the World war.

WASHINGTON, June 8 (#).—A joint United States navy-National Geographic society expedition, poised on a mid-Pacific island to view the longest total eclipse of the sun in 12 centuries, reported they were hopeful skies would clear today in time for a full view of the solar show.

A broadcast from Canton island, where the observers nervously watched the sky, informed National Geographic headquarters here that a storm with overcast skies was breaking up.

The report came from the Isolated astronomers two hours before the start of the eclipse* •,

Some of the party of 15 scientists were reported fatigued from their all night work of preparing a 3-minute and 33-second period of totality.

The astronomers said the sky at dawn seemed to be breaking into wispy clouds through-! which the scientists hoped to obtain new knowledge of the sun's corona—the strange light around its edge visible during an eclipse.

The United States was not in the path of the total eclipse, but scien­tists said that persons living south of a strip from Eureka, Cal., to Palm Beach, Fla., could see a partial eclipse.

On the Peruvian coast were sta­tioned the Hayden-Grace planetari­um party from New York.

Court, However, Excludes Ex­hibit of Stones Allegedly Used to Hit Girl—Prosecu­tor and Judge in Argument.

——

A federal grand jury In Rochester today reported a no-bill in the case of Mrs. Norma White, 16, Cattarau­gus reservation Indian, who was ar­rested May 13 after the fatal shoot­ing of her husband of eight months, Archie (Ivory) White, 28.

Mrs. White, an expectant mother, has been held in $5000 bail on a charge of voluntary manslaughter. The case was presented to the grand jury May 25.

When Mrs. White was arrested, Constable William J. Murphy of Gowanda said that she told him that her husband "abused me constantly."

Informed of the no-bill, United States Attorney George L. Grobe said he will invite the girl to a con­ference in his office with represen­tatives of the State Social Welfare bureau to discuss her future and that of her expected child.

Richard A. Grimm, assigned by Federal Judge John Knight to de­fend her, said he will co-operate in any plan designed to promote her welfare. \

Police Say Rochester Men Sold Stolen Cars Here

Three. Rochester men are being held by police of that city for in­vestigation into the sale of ten stolen automobiles to Buffalonians through an unsuspecting dealer here.

Under arrest are Samuel La-Brutta, 25, charged with criminally receiving stolen property; Angelo Cofdaro, 42, cjharged with receiving stolen property; Samuel Dovico, 21, charged with grand larceny.

Police say the trio stole the autos, all lete models, in Roch­ester, bought similar cars which had been badly damaged in acci­dents, and then switched the mo­tors from the damaged cars to the stolen vehicles. *

The cars, police say, were sold'to a dealer here who knew nothing of the thefts.

Police are taking the cars from Buffalo purchasers as fast as they recover them, they said.

The 22-page confession of Thomas E. Smith, 19, admit­ting the murder df Mary Ellen Babcock, was admitted into evidence this afternoon in Su­preme court by Justice Samuel J. Harris after hours of legal argument.

The ^statement swas admitted on the third motion of District Attor­ney Newcomb, who swore two of his assistants and two police officers to pave the way for the confession, which gave full details of the crime.

Full Details Revealed. The Smith confession revealed the

full details of the Babcock slaying and set forth that the youth ap­proached her with the intention of assaulting her criminally. It set the time of the crime as between 8:30 and 9 o'clock in the eveninig of Feb. 5. The body was found in a ravine in South Legion drive about noon the following day.

The youth, according to his signed statement, was out for a walk on the evening in question after previously having taken a ride through the South side in his car. Relating how he started to follow her after pass­ing her in South Legion drive* Smith stated:

"I had the knife in my hand. My intention wasn't killing her."

Smith said he had never seen the girl before,

Became Rattled. "She must have screamed, be­

cause I got rattled right away and that's when I started swinging the knife," the confession set forth.

Smith related that he did not know if Mary Ellen screamed when he struck her the first time, but he said she was pleading with him to let her go and told him "I won't tell."

He said he struck her first along the creek side of Legion drive and that then he dragged her over towards the side of the road op­posite from the creek. This was the south curb.

When he reached the south curb, according to the confession, the defendant pushed Mary Ellen down into a gully and went down after her.

Girl Put Up Fight Continuing the confession stated: Q.-~You had a fight with her?

A.—Yes, sir. She still had plenty of pep—life in her—she wasn't weak. Am I talking loud enough?
