Or is it to establish a a a a a a a a a a ski school as she says it is? Friends and movie fans wonder as the actress takes the news spotlight with her Reno engagement. There still has been no confirmation that Chaplin and Miss Goddard are married. Her name has been linked with the comedian since 1934, when he brought her before the film public as his leading woman. Chaplin took Miss Goddard and her mother, as chaperone, on a world tour aboard his million-dollar yacht four years ago.

It was at that time she and Chaplin were rumored married at sea. Confederates Blame Longstreet for Defeat Of Southern Forces at Battle of Gettysburg GETTYSBURG, July 1, (P) Two aged Confederate soldiers, standing upon the famous battlefield where they fought threequarters of a century ago, blamed Gen. James E. Longstreet today for the defeat of the Southern forces in the battle that turned the tide of the Confederacy. "Longstreet betrayed, us, declared Gen.

O. 93, of Shreveport, one of 2,000 Civil war veterans here for the final reunion of the Blue and "He should have ordered Pickett to charge at 8 a.m., but he didn't. He waited until 1 o'clock, and let Meade bring in 22,000 fresh Union troops. Pickett's charge, faltering in the very muzzles of Northern cannon at Bloody Angle in the third day's fighting, sent Lee retreating into Southern territory to defend Richmond and marked the turning point of the great war between the North and South. Said 95-year-old Charles S.

Riggin, of Vaughan, N. private in the Rhodes' division: "If Longstreet given us needed support in time, we would have won the battle. He let the Yanks right in on us." But today, on this 75th anniversary of the great battle and Roadhouse Operator Makes Statement in Insurance Slaying Said To Have Admitted Plotting Son's Death WAYCROSS, July 1. Harvey Nelson, roadhouse operator, and two women employees were held today fom grand jury action in what Solicitor General John S. Gibson described as an "insurance slaying" of the man's 10-year-old son, J.

C. Nelson. Gibson said Nelson confessed a plot to kill the boy and named Verna Mae Fowler Mary Kent as conspirators who drew straws to determine which would shoot him. Nelson declared Verna Mae Fowler drew the fatal straw, the prosecutor said, and shot the boy with a pistol upon his return from school May 26, two nights after "they all met and decided on how the $900 insurance money would be divided." Officers said the case was first represented as suicide when the body was found on the back porch of Nelson's place of business. "It was agreed." Gibson quoted Nelson.

"that Mary Kent should have $200 in cash, that Verna Mae Fowler should have the automobile clear of any indebtedness and that Nelson should pay the $90 due on the automobile and pay the funeral expenses and have the rest of the $700.1 Verna Mae Fowler declared under questioning. the prosecutor said, that Nelson and not she killed the boy.

Inventions Cited by Australian Engineers SYDNEY (UP) -Australians lay claim to a large number of the most important and widely diffused inventions in the world.

Among these, according to the Australian Institute of Engineering, are the "stripper," which strips or harvests the heads of grain, and the "stump jump" plow, without which half the land under cultivation in the world, they declare, would have remained uncultivated. Additional inventions by Australians, they say, are: The totalizator (betting machine). sheep-shearing machine. The first ice factory (built at Geelong in 1850). The torpedo.

The monorail. Large Amount of Grain Shipped GALVESTON, Texas, July 1.

GREAT GRANDFATHER BULAWAYO (UP) -W. P. Valentine, of Gatooma, is believed to be the youngest great-grandfather in South Africa. He is only 76, but his granddaughter is the mother of a son. BERLIN.

(INS) Hungary is marching along the road Nazidom and is expected to join the line-up of swastica followers in the Fall. That is the consensus of many European observers, who believe that Hungarian Nazi movement is gaining with such leaps and bounds that the few futile gestures on the part the government to stop will no avail. They assert that Hitler's avent in Vienna, key to the Danubian basin, definitely placed the seal on her political future. The first result was shown in the recent enactment of laws which limited Jewish participation in public function and offices to 20 per cent, the vanguard of more to come. Germany's sure grip on Hungarian political friendship suffered a severe setback with the death more than a year ago of Premier Gomboes, but no efforts have been spared to keep the relationship unimpaire.

Thde big push forward by Germany is expected to mark time until August, when Regent Horthy is scheduled to come to Berlin for a state visit. He has been invited by Admiral of the Fleet Raeder to be present at the launching of two new warships. Gala Reception Planned Afterwards, the Regent will go to Berlin and there be received in pompous style. He will live in the president's palace, where Mussolini stayed during his Berlin visit, and have the modern rooms at his disposal now being reconstructed for permanent residential use by Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop. The old rooms of President Hindenburg have been removed.

There will naturally be important political conversations between Horthy, and, leading Hungarian Nazis, Regent with no doubt ready to canvass the Danubian and European political horizon from every standpoint. Expectations are that by that time, the vacillating situations in Spain, Czechoslovakia and elsewhere will have crystallized somewhat. A solid base for the close friendship between Germany and Hungary is that of trade. Prime Minister Imredy revealed in the House of Deputies that Greater Germany is now taking 53 per cent of Hungarian exports and Italy 15 per cent. New trade negotiations with Germany have been successfully concluded and the quotas which Hungary formerly enjoyed in the Austrian market are on the whole being maintained, so that no illfeeling can spring from the An- Hungary Expected To Be Next Nation To Espouse Nazism May Join Line of Swastica Follow- ers in August with all animosity forgotten, Gilette said he believed it all "happened for the best." "Certainly it was the best thing for the South," he declared.

The statements of the two old soldiers, who are among 15 here who fought in the battle, brought from General Longstreet's widow vehement defense of her husa band as the "Bulldog of the Southern army." She is attending the reunion as a special guest of the Anniversary Commission. "His (Longstreets') judgment saved them from even worse defeat," she asserted. "General Lee relied on his advice, and took the whole blame for defeat at Gettysburg, after the battle. "I am writing an answer to all the unfair and false statements made against General Longstreet." Under a hot Pennsylvania sun, Gilette and Riggin, together with more than a thousand of their comrades and one-time foes, toured the rolling battlefield, and visited Cemetery Ridge and Seminary Ridge where the Union and Confederate troops were stationed. They stood for a while in the shadow of General Meade's statue, one of 800 monuments that dot the hallowed grounds.

The claim was presented by a Los Angeles attorney, who found a record of the deal while settling an estate. chluss in that respect. Upholds Minority Claims When Hungarian deputies recently expressed misgivings in Parliament about Pan-German propaganda being conducted among the German speaking population of Western Hungary, the Prime Minister replied that while the government would take energetic measures to combat such tendencies it would on the other hand take to meet the legitimate claims care, the German minority and that furthermore the German government could be counted upon to be scrupulously correct in its attitude.

In plain language, he meant to say that anything tending to disturb friendly relations with Germany was out of place on the official calendar. A significant symptom was the release of the Hungarian Nazi leader Major Salazy right after the Eucharist Congress ended, thus giving him full opportunity to resume his activities. A large part of the Hungarian civil servants have joined his ranks and he is the "Dark Horse" of the land. Bars Cuing Placed On All Windows Of City Stockade Work placing bars on all windows of the city stockade has been started, and plans also call for erecting a 10-foot fence around the building. The fence is for the purpose of preventing persons not held in the stockade from conversing with the prisoners without permission.

The project is expected to be completed early next week. The stockade serves as an auxiliary to the city jail, and is used to house prisoners who spend the day working out their tines on the city streets. Cotton Advances Dollar a Bale NEW ORLEANS, July 1. (P)--- A broad buying movement lifted cotton prices one dollar or more a bale here today. Investment and trade interests were on the buying side of the market and shorts were forced to cover at advancing prices.
