Gov. Fitzgerald
Dedicates New
Tree Nursery
National Forest Festival Is
Celebrated By Officials
At Manistee
MANISTEE, Mich., July 3.-(P)--
Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald joined in
the dedication today of the Chitten-
den Nursery and celebration of the
national forest festival.
Governor Fitzgerald was principall
speaker tonight at a festival banquet
here.
Both state and federal cfficials par-
ticipated today in the dedication of
the nursery, named for the late Prof.
A. K. Chittenden, head df the Michi-
gan State College Forestry Depart-
ment.
C. A. Rindt, superintendent, un-
veiled a tablet honoring the late de-
partment head, and Prof. P. A. Her-
bert, present dean of the college de-
partment: Lyle Watts, Regional U.S.
Forester; P. J. Hoffmaster, State
Conservation Director, and Rep. Al-
bert J. Engel participated in the
ceremony, held at Wellston.
Princess Wabisg-esh-iwke and
State Highway Department officials,
participatd. in a tree planting cere-
mony.
Visitors to the festival were of-
fered graphic illustrations today of
the birth and the death of timber-
lands.
For the first portion of the sec-
ond day's program, officials trans-
ferred the activities ' from Manistee
to the town of Wellston, on M-55, for
the dedication of the Chittenden
Nursery, source of the almost count-
less seedlings with which it is plan-
ned to replenish the 1,300,000 acres
of the national forest. During the
afternoon the State Conservation
Department and the U. S. Fo'rest
Service cooperated in setting off-
and then extinguishing with the
most modern methods-a forest fire
in a specially prepared tract of 500
trees.
The dedication of the nursery at
Wellston, with its 80 miles of seed
beds, had a twofold purpose. Festival
officials designed it as a formal send-
off for the vast replanting project
which the government is carrying on
in the National forest and as a post-
humous honor to one of Michigan's
leading advocates of reforestation,
Professor Chittenden.
National Park
Is Bequeathed
To Americans
Shenandoah Area Is Site
Of Memorial Medicated
By Roosevelt
BIG MEADOWS, Va., July 3.--(P)-
President Roosevelt dedicated the
rolling reaches of Shenandoah na-
tional park "to this and succeeding
generations of Americans" today and
in so doing called for more such rec-
reational developments as the pro-
duct of "the joint husbandry of hour
human resources and our natural
resources."
In a natural mountain ampi-
theatre, with thousands of listeners
'rouped before him-all ringed in by
the curving peaks of the Blue Ridge
-Mr. Roosevelt praised the .national
park program as designed to provide
work for the idle and conserve the
beauty of the American forests.
"The product of the labor of the
men of the Civilian Conservation
Corps, who have opened the Shenan-
doah national park to the use and
enjoyment of our citizens," he said,
'is as significant as though instead
of working for the government they'
had worked in a mill or a factory.
They have a right to be as proud of
their labor here as if they had been
engaged in private employment."
Also holding a place upon the ded-
icatory program, Secretary Ickes
urged greater liberality on the part
of the Federal government in estab-
lishing national parks, but warned:
"We want no 'pork barrel' recrea-
tion policy, no national parks that
are log rolled through the halls of
Congress. Yet we require more parks
if we are wisely to anticipate future
needs, and surely there is enough
statesmanship in the country to set
up safeguards against reckless or im-
provident expenditures."
Police Playing
With Brunette
Suspected Slayer Of Cafe
Beauty, 'Pint A - Day'
Valette, Is Sought
CHICAGO, July 3.-(IP)-A strange
game of "hide and seek" tonight con-
fronted police seeking the attractive
brunette wanted for questioning in
the hotel room slaying of "pint-a-
day" Audrey Vallette, 31, cafe beauty
She died of a single bullet wound
through the breast yesterday, ending
a pursuit of pleasure in near north
side haunts which a diary she left be-
hind disclosed started several months
ago. The rum soaked account of
her convivial "dates" ended frequent-
ly with the phrase "was I drunk?"
Hunted as a key witness was Mrs.
Ruth Freed, night club hostess, po-
,lice said they had identified as a
visitor to Miss Vallette's room short-
ly before she telephoned the hotel
deskman, "I've been shot."
The "hide and seek" centered
around Mrs. Freed and her husband,
Edward, partner in the "nut house,"
a North Clark Street gay spot, and
described by police as an admirer of
Audrey Vallette.
STUDENTS PLAN PARTY
All colored students on campus are
invited to attend a "get-acquainted"

jamin House, 1102 E. Ann St. The

uried Treasure
Swells Estate Of
Danville Farmer
MASON, Mich., July 3. -(IP) -
Buried treasure swelled the estate of
the late John Hurlburt, Dansville
farmer, today.
Mrs. Ruth Barr, deputy probate
register, said a report of the estate's
administrator, Dennis N.Taylor of
Lansing, told of having dug several
thousand dollars in cash and govern-
ment bonds from underground "strong
boxes," concealed beneath a rail fence
on the farm and some piles of rock.
The money and securities were
packed in glass jars to protect them
from moisture.
Mrs. Barr said the report did not
reveal the amount taken from the
ground, but said she thought $5,000
would be "a good guess." Taylor de-
clined to comment. Neighborhood ru-
mors fixed the total at $14,000.
A wnciled line in a notebook
found among Hurlburt's possessions
furnished the clue tokthe money's
hiding place. For weeks the mean-
ing of the notation "1500 ep 1200. wp."
eluded Taylor, but finally he won-
dered whether it did not indicate
that money were buried under the
east and west piles of stone. A search
confirmed this. One report said a
crude sketch of the rail fence supplied
the clues to where the rest of the
money was hidden.
Hurlburt, a money lender, left an
estate of $38,000 to be divided among
a number of heirs, among them Amy
D. Fowler, of Jackson, a niece. He
died last January of a heart attack.
Hint New Defense
In Local Shooting
Defense attorneys for Mrs. Betty
.Baker, 30 years old, charged with

Monday, yesterday hinted that the

fense beside her claim that the
shooting was accidental, when she
appears before Justice of Peace Har-
ry W. Reading, Wednesday afternoon
I ,for examination.
"There may be another defense
which we cannot announce as yet,'
Frank B. DeVine, attorney, stated

Helen Hayes Wins
In Real Life Drama
CHICAGO, July 3.-(P)-Helen
Hayes, diminutive star of stage and
screen, emerged a victorious heroine
tonight in a real life drama that cast
her as defendant in her first court
role on or off the stage.
A $100,000 suit that charged her
with alienating the affections of her
husband, playwright Charles Mac-
Arthur, from his first wife,. Carol
Frink, was dropped in Cook County
circuit court before the tiny actress
had entered one word of defense.
Three times the plaintiff offered to
drop the case before the defense ac-
cepted.
Miss Hayes, her attorneys said, in-
sisted on fighting on until Mac Ar-
thur's first mate took back all the
"nasty" things she said about
"Charlie"-those wisecracks about
hocking his mother-in-law's diamond
ring, and "lying on the beach ,get-
ting healthy" while Miss Frink
tworked, and making love by stepping
on her feet, and moving from apart-
ment to apartment because "the bed
was too small for his feet."
