ROME There was a mild-mannered, mild-mannered, not very prepossessing young man on the ship that carried car-ried the peregrinating Merry-Go-Rounder here. There was nothing political about him. but circus clowns or cabaret queens have a way of cut-fascinating politicians. The Merry-Go-Rounder can't resist handing the Brass Ring to a young man who earns his living by climbing into a cage full of wild animals twice a day. He is Clyde Beatty. and no one would ever guests from the unobtrusive way he lounged around the deck and seemed glad to keep out of people's way. that he is the greatest great-est wild animal trainer in America. Ameri-ca. Mr. Beatty was going to Munich with the idea of buying a couple of "hybrids." He thinks they are not half as exciting as they're cracked UP to be. and can't be trained to r do tricks because they inherit the worst traits of both parents. But If the Munich zoo doesn't ask too much, he may bring them home anyway. He is also severely tempted to go on to Singapore, where a tea planter has just caught a black tiger, which no one in circus history his-tory ever heard of before. Mr. Beatty is about 32 years old. not very tail, definitely on the slender side, weighs about 130 pounds, and looks as if a. lion cub could knock him over. His voice is low and pleasant, with none of the harshness you might expect from one who wrings obedience from a cage full of jungle cats.

I Copyright 1936 by United Press) NANKING, Dec. 26 i:.P The amazing stpry of the kidnaping of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, chairman of the Nanking government govern-ment and dictator of more than 300,000,000 Chinese, by Marshal! Chang Hsueli-Liang, former warlord war-lord of Manchuria, developed today to-day into an Arabian Nights tale in which each of the principals blamed himself for the crime. General Chiang, who flew here today with the marshal who held him captive for two weeks issued a very humble statement saying: "Being in supreme command of the army, I am responsible for the coup de'etat because I failed to maintain adequate discipline, which I deeply regret. "All questions must be settled by the central government." Tho latter remark presumably referred to the fate of Marshal Chang. Marshal Chang on his part issued is-sued a letter to Chiang, requesting "proper punishment" for his act. He urged the Generalissimo not to allow friendship to interfere with his duty. The exchange of courtesies developer! de-veloper! a new high for that sort of thing in Chinese politics. A second statement issued by General Chiang indicated that he was released without agreeing to any of the special demands made by the marshal. SHANGHAI, Dec. 26 UM: The American Embassy has received assurances that some 50 Americans, Ameri-cans, most of them missionaries, who are in the Sian-Fu area where Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek Kai-Shek was held captive are safe, it was learned today. The Americans are in Shensi and Kansu provinces, where fighting fight-ing was threatened.

City Is Quiet After Christmas Observance Provoans sleepily put one eye out from beneath the covers Saturday Sat-urday morning, yawned, and rolled over for another "forty winks" before the reset alarm clock again began its disgusting clamor. City streets were deserted during dur-ing the early trading hours, although al-though cafes reported a good morning business. Store clerks wrestled to conceal a yawn or two as the Usual after Christmas round of exchanges became a probability. Cars too appeared to have taken on the lethargy of "a morning after," but their . condition was due more to the slippery streets than any liquid cheer of the eve- j nlng prior.

Ice-Glazed streets which followed fol-lowed the storm were blamed for numerous accidents in which a dozen or more persons were injured. in-jured. The most spectacular accident occurred early today when a bus, travelling westward on the Mid vale-Bingham highway, collided J with a truck. The bus driver, L. W.

In several homes it was reported report-ed that "Junior" was having difficulty diffi-culty playing with his train, or microscope, or chemical set, "Dad" having elected to "fix" it. Mothers surveyed dismally dishes and glasses, and ash-strewn carpets with their litter of after-Christmas after-Christmas flimsies. Weary workers looked out during dur-ing the day as the warm sun melted the flakes and contemplated contem-plated dully, but with a feeling of relief, a familiar anthem, "Tomorrow's "To-morrow's Sunday."

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 26 l l' A radio message .va received by operators at the municipal airport air-port here today saying "Help, we need a doctor, we are located east of the beam near Upton." Upton is about 80 miles east of Salt Lake City. Acting on the possibility it might be from a Western Air Express plane missing since Dec. 15, officials sent a department of commerce plane to investigate. The call was the secon dsuch message intercepted in two days. Airport officials, although checking check-ing even the remotest leads which might reveal the missing ship's ; whereabouts, were inclined to believe be-lieve the message was a fake, possibly dispatched by an amateur ama-teur operator. They pointed out that anyone jruilty of dispatching a false distress signal in a case of this kind is liable to a $10,000 fine, two vears imprisonment, or both, under federal statutes. SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 26 (C.R) Storm conditions, which late yesterday halted further hunt from the air for a missing Western Air Express liner with seven persons, cleared today. Bright sunshine drove away fog and low-hanging clouds. Shortly after Dawn, four Marine corps scout bombers augmented by a U. S. armv bomber, took off from Milford to resume their checkercard survey of the Tuhvar and Pahvant mountains, and the area between Milford and St. George.

The correspondent said the two rudders of the plane had been pushed up to the front of the ship. He said he did not see how it was possible for Livermore and his copilot. co-pilot. A. A. Haid, of Seattle, to have survived the crash. Tragedy Reconstructed Fliers reconstructed the tragedy as follows: . "Livermore apparently was completely com-pletely lost, as it appeared as if he was flying due east instead of in a westerly direction. He apparently appar-ently was following Early Creek, and flying 'contact,' that is not losing sight of the creek. When he drew near the end of the draw he apparently thought it would level out. but instead it rose abruptly into a high peak and he smashed it head on." The wreckage was covered with snow, and only a few feet of the fuselage was visible. The ground crew had not touched the plane, because government gov-ernment orders prohibit any mail handled by a nongovernment man without a postoffice inspector present. Government men left Kellogg, to the site of the ship as soon as they had been informed it had been found.

Organization Of Metropolitan Metro-politan Districts Pushed Forward Directors of the Provo River Waterusers' association, associa-tion, sponsors of the Deer Creek project, reported encouraging en-couraging progress Saturday, following a meeting in the city and county building. Reports were made showing show-ing headway is being made on the organization of a metropolitan water district, to include Pleasant Grove and Lindon. Plans are also under way to organize an irrigation irriga-tion district in the Highland and Lehi area to enable farmers in need of water in that section to come under the project. Final plans for the passage of an approving ordinance were made at a meeting of the Lindon town board Saturday night. Attorney A. V. Watkins represented the waterusers' association. The Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove city council has already passed the ordinance providing for a combined district to enable the two towns to be included within the area to receive the benefits from the $7,500,000 reclamation project, largest in the state of Utah. A communication from Leland H. Kimball, engineer of the Salt Lake City metropolitan water district, dis-trict, relative to its participation in the project, was discussed at the meeting, but the nature of the proposal pro-posal was not divulged by the officers. offi-cers. Salt Lake City has created the metropolitan water district and the voters have approved it at a special election. The city commission as well as the metropolitan metro-politan water district board, has been at work on various phases of the negotiations involving Salt Lake's entrance and the signing of subscription contracts. The approved ap-proved form of contract has not been returned from Washington yet.

Retail Business Sets New Record NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (r.P A last-minute buying wave of Christmas Christ-mas gifts swept this week's dollar dol-lar volume of retail trade above the 1930 levels and carried unit sales in many instances, to the highest levels in history, the Dun & Bradstreet Weekly Trade Review Re-view said today. The authority estimated trade for the nation at 10 to 25 per cent in excess of 1935. while the gain from the preceding week was placed at from 5 to 12 per cent. Improvements Finished At County Infirmary BY GEORGE SEIDL Well prepared for wintry blasts is the Utah county infirmary as construction closes on nearly a score of operations through which refitting of the county home has become a fact. During the last few months under un-der approval of the county commissioners, com-missioners, many , improvements have been wrought, all designed towards bringing greater effV ciency and healthful surrounding into the home for nearly 50 of the county's aged. Many of the exterior improvements improve-ments are already complete. A new roadway averaging 14 feet wide of oil mulch construction takes one to the doorway.

D. S. church has offered to build and maintain a modern hospital in Provo to cost approximately $150,000 with a capacity of 50 beds, it was announced Saturday xby President Thomas N. Taylor of the Utah stake. The church authorities have offered to contribute $90,-000 $90,-000 of the amount required for the construction of such an institution, providing Provo interests raise the remaining $60,000. Plans for raising Provo's portion of the construction cost will be worked out by the "greater hospital" committee of the Provo chamber of commerce and other agencies, according ac-cording to Dr. L. L. Cullimore, chairman of the committee. It is expected that the drive for funds will be under way in a short time. Construction will begin as soon as the church authorities have been notified that the $60,000 has been raised, President Taylor said. The L. D. S. church is maintaining hospitals at the present pres-ent time in Salt Lake City, Ogden and Idaho- Falls, Idaho. The Provo L. D. S. hospital will be maintained under the same policy as the other institutions, it is presumed. The matter of a site for the local hospital has not been discussed by the church authorities, who will probably make the selection when various agencies have succeeded in raisf ing the community's share of the hospital project. s Six Injured In First East Crash Injuries to six resulted in a car accident when Jess Leetham, 969 West Third South, failed to note the dead-end vof First East at Eighth North in time to avett a crash into the cement steps of the Don Alger home, 136 East Eighth North, at 12:25 a. m.
