MYERSDISCSSES VOCATIONGOiANC Association Head Outlines Part Father, Councellor Have in Aiding Youth. "Someone, in a facetious moment, defined vocational guidance as 'seeing through Johnny and seeing Johnny through'. It is rather help- ing Johnny to see through himself and to see himself through," said Professor George E. Myers, who is president of the National Vocation- al Guidance association, at the ed- ucational conference yesterday af- ternoon. "Responsibility for choosing his occupation and for success in it rests upon the individual himself," Professor Myers continued. "The father who says to his son 'You are1 to follow in my footsteps and be- come a lawyer' and the counselor who tells a youth he should be an engineer or a plumber are both dangerously near to the kind who rush in where angels fear to tread." "However, the father, the coun- selor, and others also may give the youth invaluable assistance in ob- taining the information he needs in this important matter-informa- tion concerning his own aptitudes, limitations, and personality traits, the requirements and opportunities of occupations which interest him, where and how the needed prepara- tion may be obtained advantage- ously, and the like." Cramer Fate Still Mystery; Bad Weather Delays Hunt COPENHAGEN, Aug. 12-(I)- The fate of Parker D. Cramer, American flier, remained a mystery today. No trace of the aviator or his companion, Oliver Paquette, has been found. Bad weather held up an -airplane rescue flight planned by Clifford Riiser-Larsen, widely known flier, as well as other Norwegian and Danish search parties.f WHITE FEELS VOLU W OR K I NDIC A TE S An optimistic note on the indus- trial situation was sounded here today by Prof. A.

POLICE SEARCH FOR 'MYSTERIOUS STRANGER' SEEN WITH COUPLES IN MILAN CAFE; LORE DRANK, CLAIM State police, sheriff's officers of Wayne and Washtenaw counties, together with newspaper men took part in a far reach- ing man hunt staged last night for a "stranger" who was seen with the two couples between 2 and 3 o'clock Tuesday morn- ing in a Milan restaurant, and for two Ypsilanti Negroes who it is believed might have been implicated in the torch slaying. The theory was advanced last night that the fifth man of the party might have joined the two couples in Milan as townspeople tell that before entering the restaurant the couples were seen driving without any such individual. In spite of the discovery yesterday of several new clues to the brutal torch murder of two Cleveland high school girls and their escorts near Willis, investigating officials early this morning appear- ed to have made little advance in the solution of the case since the first suspects were arrested Tuesday night. The combined forces of Wayne and Washtenaw counties, sup- plemented by state officials, were fruitlessly combing the vicinity of the murder for further clues. Three suspects were questioned at the county jail yesterday, but were released later. Significant developments of yesterday's investigation were as follows: 1. Norman England, 19, waiter at "Grandma's Pantry," a restaurant in Milan, stated that he had waited on the two couples and a fifth person, whom he described as a "ragged stranger," at about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.. His statement, however, con- flicted with that of Thomas Goodrich, village constable, who was said to have stated that only four people entered the restaurant. 2. The discovery of the blood-stained purse of Vivian Gold, one of the murder victims, by Fred D. Jones, Ypsilanti salesman, on South River Road, about 6 miles north of the place where the burned car was found, further substantiated the theory advanced yesterday that at least one of the victims was killed before the car was driven to the County Line road. 3. The spots, alleged by the Keene brothers to be shellac, found on a "window lever" club, were identified as blood stains .by Dr. Herbert Emerson, of the Pas- teur Institute of the Medical MURDER CASE school.

Three suspects, two un- crowded to one side by another car travel- ing at high speed, which stopped nearby, identified men and Mickey Bak. turned around and rove away in the direc- tion f OY psilanti. A watch, identified as belonging to Lore, fixed the time of the fire at 5:06 a.m. The bodies were identified by the father of Wheatley. State police andsheriff's officers began an immediate search of "blind pig" farm- houses and investigated every amusement center for miles around. The bodies were removed to Ann Arbor for inquest and post mortem examination. Examination of the car failed to reveal fingerprints on the body. Two brothers, Paul Keene, 49, and Law- rence, 38. recluse laborers living in a shanty on wheels about a mile from the burned automobile were arrested for ques- tioning. Bloodstained clubs, a box of bul- lets, and stained clothing were foundbin their hut. An autopsy Wednesday revealed that all the victims had been severely beaten before being cremated. Two bullet wounds were found in Lore's body. The bodies of the others showed fractured skulls or internal injuries. A canvas of state hospitals for the in- sane was made. No recent escapes were reported. The Wayne county board of aduitors Wed- nesday voted to offer a reward of $1,000 for each arrest and conviction in the case. Abloodstained purse, the property of Miss Gold, was found on South Huron River road, six miles from the death spot. Norman England, waiter- in a restaurant at Milan, Mich., reported Wednesday see- ing the four young people in company with a man of unkempt appearance in his cafe at 2:10 a.m. Tuesday. He said neither of the Keene brothers was the man. Dr. Herbert Emerson, director of the Pasteur institute at the University of Mich- igan, Wednesday discovered human blood on the clubs found at the Keene shack. Harry Bennett, chief of the Ford service department, joined the forces of law with some of his men. Bennettand deputy sheriffs arrested Micky Baker, 19, Wednesday afternoon in a raid on a shack near where the bodies were found. Attorney General Paul W. Voorhies ar- rived in Ann Arbor to corelate investigating agencies. He conferred with Sheriff Henry Behrendt and Prosecutor Harry S. Toy, of Wayne county, and with Washtenaw county officials. The inquest, scheduled for Wednesday af- ternoon, was adjourned at the request of Prosecutor Albert J. Rapp, of Washtenaw county, who wished more time to continue the preliminary investigation. er, alleged bootlegger, were questioned yesterday by the in- vestigators, but they failed to throw any light on the case and were released later. - 6. The inquest, scheduled to take place at 1 o'clock yesterday, was postponed by Coroner Ed- win C. Ganzhorn at the request of Albert J. Rapp, Washtenaw county prosecutor, pending fur- ther investigation. 7. Two Negroes,, driving a stolen car from Detroit, were ar- rested yesterday at Evanston, Ill. for questioning in connection with the murder. Both denied having any connection with the affair, although admitting steal ing the car. Early this afternoon an abandon- ed Chevrolet coach, bearing an Ohio license plate, was towed in by the Wayne copnty sheriff's department. The car was found on the Stadium cut-off, and contained an empty whisky bottle and a suitcase. Depu- ties, however, believed that the car had no connection with the murder. Although England stated that Lore seemed drunk, the autopsy performed by Medical school phy- sicians showed no traces of liquor. Early this morning, a brother of Lore came to the county building and said that his mother unwilling (Continued on Page Three) on by the engineering research de- partment for large industrial firms," Professor White said.

Farm Experts Urge Wheat Be Destroyed WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-()P)- The farm board today called upon southern planters to destroy one- third of their crop now under cul- tivation, promising in return to hold stabilization surplus stocks from the market for one year. Telegrams were dispatched to the governors of 14 cotton-producing states, urging them to enlist the co-operation of every available. agency, including farmers and bankers, in this step to increase the price of cotton. The telegrams were signed by Chairman Stone.
