Housing Shortage Brings Tragedy
To Aged Couple Wife Is Jailed
KANSAS CITY Kan April 19
(UR) — Four months ago Victor
and Emma Atteberry moved Into
the home of their daughter It
- was a small place already well
crowded with the daughter’s own
family
Victor was 73 and blind but
he’d been blind for 50 years and
he'd supported his family for 40
of those years by making and
selling brooms He was proud of
his independence
He didn’t want to be a burden
“to the children”
His desire on the one hand
to move and the belief of his
frail cultured 69-year-old wife
that "we have no other place to
go” caused many arguments
Saturday while Victor and
Emma were alone in the house
the subject came up again
Later she told Harold H Hard-
ing county attorney that her
husband of 51 years rose sudden-
ly and seized her She was afraid
of him she said and so she
struck him with a stove poker
Victor was taken to Providence
hospital in serious condition
Emma was taken to police head-
quarters where she seemed
might ly out of place
She explained to Harding that
her husband hadn’t wanted to
stay with Thelma and William
Mitchell
"I didn't mean to hit him so
hard” she said "I guess I lost
my head You see I've been so
wot t ied”
As he was taken to surgery in
the hospital Victor said he had-
n't intended to hurt his wife
“1 just wanted to leave my
daughter's home because I
thought we were a burden to
the children”
Emma pleaded Innocent to a
charge of common assault She
was released under $1000 bond
furnished by a son Robert who
came to headquarters as soon as
officers located him

NAVAL OIL
PURCHASE IS
BEING PROBED
WASHINGTON April 19 UPi
—Evidence before a senate com-
mittee showed Saturday that the
Navy rejected a cut-rate offer of
Arabian oil in 1941 on grounds
of inferior quality while at the
same time it was purchasing oil
of similar quality from the same
area
' The senate was investigating
committee scheduled a closed-
door session to hear a report from
former Senator Burton K Wheel-
er of Montana who is directing
Its Inquiry into naval oil purchas-
ed ih the middle east
Chairmsri Owert Brewster R
Me told reporters the Inform-
ation he received on his recent
visit to Cairo Egypt contained
‘‘nothing to contradict” char-
ges that the N’avy Is oaying ca-
rets prices for mid east oil
' He said production costs of Ara-
bian oil are "even less than I had
figured” ’ "
Oilman James A Moffett has
charged that the Arablan-Ameri-rtm
Oil Co reaped close to $50
000000 In extra profits through
the Navy’s failure to accept his
rut-rate offer In 1641 This the
NaVy strongly denied
' Moffett claimed lo have made
the offer In behalf of the Stan-
dard OH Comftany of California
and the Texas Oil Co joint own-e-x
of the Arabian-Amerfcan Oil
Co
The committee believes navy
documents will show that the late
Secre'aiy of the Navv Frank
Knox turned down Moffett’s of-
fer on grounds the quality of the
oil wes loo low for navy needs at
the time
Later according to Navy state-
ments the duality improved and
It coniracled lo bttv oil from the
Arabian-American Oil r o in 1944
Documents available to tlie
rrmmlttr show-tl the navy had
been buvlnv oil front the same
general oil “pod” in the middle
east for as long as a year before
Moffett's offer was rejected
The missing navy do” ’men's
allegedly were sent to tlie White
House following a mysterious tele-
phone rail in 1944 at about the
time the navv oil contract was be-
ing negotiated
Tlie committee lias asked the
White 'House for permission to
examine the late President Roose-
velt's files to see if there are any
documents bearing on its irouiry
As yet it has received no reply

We The Women
By RUTII MILLETT
NEA Staf Writer
“Woman lawyer Forced to Do-
ff Hat for Judge” says the head
line over a news story bearing
a Los Angeles dqte line
And here’s the 'story A vet-
eran woman attorney approach-
ed the bench of superior Judge
Allen W Ashburn and asked:
“May I address tlie court out of
turn?”
“You may not until you re-
move your hat” said the judge
Purely from a standpoint of
etiquette it looks as though it
was the judge who spoke out of
turn
He explained his stand by say-
ing: “Women lawyers practice
on equal terms with men and I
feel they should observe the
same rules and formalities in
courtroom”
But look Judge Men remove
their hats as a gesture of res-
pect and deference They bare
their heads when they enter chur
ches homes elevators when
they greet acquaintances when
the flag passes by
WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT
But the rule works in reverse
for women Women wear their
hats in church they put them on
for all Important events — except
when they are wearing evening
clothes Wearing not doffing a
hat is their tribute to the impor-
est area hut they were reported
i ruler control
I tance of an occasion
niuyue ueioie you hand do-
wn any more decisions on the
etiquette of women's hats you
would do well to consult a book
of etiquette — as well as your
oooks of law —
