Minister Confesses Killing Woman in Missouri River
A 51-year-old Baptist preacher, Rev. C. E. Newton, confessed to murdering Mrs. Dennis Kelly, 45, of Paris, Missouri. He admitted striking her with a hammer and dumping her body in the Mississippi River after an argument during a trip to catch a train or bus. The case tied to withdrawals from a local bank and the minister’s adopted daughter Myra Hanan, who reported his alleged admission and handed over funds. Newton had resigned from Paris’s Baptist church amid internal disputes.

Germany Limits Building Material Patience for scarce resources dictates substitutes
Berlin Germanys search for raw material substitutes reaches building materials. Shortage of iron wood and brick prompts architects to avoid waste on private projects and seek suitable alternates. If private projects exceed 2000 dollars iron use leads to permit denial. Government spending remains exempt having spent about 600 million dollars on buildings and highways since 1934.
