(WHISTLE) mystery In New York people are talking about the latest real life detective mystery - the unsolved disappearance of Miss Agnes ■ -—^ Tufverson, a well-to-do woman lawyer of Detroit and ScW-Y- — Co ^ 3 ,— polioc of-t)hree •eountrles are on-fehe The drama begins on a boat train in England. In July, nineteen thirty-three. Miss Tufverson met the handsome Captain v / Ivanovich Poderjay. He described himself as an officer in the Jugo-Slavian army, suffering from a broken heart. The next scene is in New York. Miss Tufverson yields to the ardent pleadings of the handsome Captain. They are raa ried at the Little Church Around the Corner. Miss Tufverson, a woman of some means, withdraw* her funds and securities from the bank#- gttsfrps tiis Two weeks later she telephones to her sisters in Detroit, tells them she Is married, and introduces her husband over long distance wire. She tells them she is going on her honeymoon. The following day she and the handsome Captain leave her apartment, drive to the Hamburg American Line pier. That was the last seen of her. Two days later the handsome Captain returns to his wlfe^s apartment, explains that she has sailed for Europe ahead of him. . 'b -x 'X: MYSTERY - S He takes her trunks - four of them — and that day sails on the Olympic. The handsome Captain reaches Southampton. Four days later the lady's sisters in Detroit receive a cablegram signed by her saying she cannot stand the English climate and is going to France and India. That is the last anybody has heard from Miss Tufverson, if the cable was really from her. The next scene: The missing woman's relatives report her disappearance to the Missing Persons Bureau of the New York Police Department* And now one of the big questions Is: "What has become of those trunks?" The police hint at another trunk murder. The Vienna police, at the request of New York headquarters, have detained the handsome Captain. Now mind you, there is nothing so far to prove that a crime has been committed. The Viennese police have really no excuse for holding the2p imiw until adaittod t.o that he is a bigamist. He subsequently retracts that confession, conflicting tales, several of them, In the following scene v/e have a real sensation* The MYSTERY - 3 Viennese police trailing another of the handsome Captain1s supposed wives. And in her apartment they find several articles belonging to Miss Tufverson. That is the present status of this amazing tale. The police of New York and Vienna are convinced that Miss Tufverson is dead though they do not venture to say outright how her death \ cameio pass. The handsome Captain declares that Tufveroon is on a round the world cruise, turn up in Soerabaya, tfe^ingapore, tv Bangkok^ Colombo, (RAILROAD WHISTLEJ ■ 1 ! -iS®:' - Y® ■ » vvC c ^r - 1 *-ly n& ^ ' a loud locomotive whistle for ^ is c-v.

(Ship siren) IP - • GEl^iAirf Let s get off the boat at Hamburg, We may be in time to see another revolution in Germany. This is no idle guess. It is hinted by no less an authority than General William Goering, Hitler's chief bouncer. General Goering admits the truth of the last few days' rumors that there is dissension in the government of the Fatherland, Then came the threat, Goering hinted that it might be necessary to bring about another revolution to put an end to grumbling and dis- cont eat, That’s about the sort of speech that we have been led to expect from the truculent Goering. Obviously it means that if the moderates, led by Vice-Chancellor Von Papen, become obstreperous, the Hazi Storm Troopers will squelch them. Another ominous symptom is the resignation of Court Rudolf Nadolmy, the Ambassador to Moscow, Count Hadolmy is a close friend of President Von Kind enburg. He admits that he is resigning because he cannot see eye to eye with Chancellor Hitler. This is the first important resignation since that of Dr. Hugenberg, who used to be Hitler's Minister of Economics •arid was, during the- years of his struggle, the principal financial backer of the Hazi chief. ......... ..... _*.!

(Ship siren) In China we hear that Field Marshall Chiang Kai-Shek, the head of the Nationalist Government has just reviewed twelve thousand cadets who graduated from China’s military Academy, The Chinese West Point, so to speak. Marshall Chiang has just returned from a campaign against roving bands of communists. How you describe these Far Eastern reds depends on your politics. In their own minds they are patriots. Other people call them bandits. At any rate, Marshall Chiang says he has them licked; with only a few scattered groups still at large. Vlncidentally, we learned only the other day that Marshall Chiang’s army had been reorganized and disciplined by the Prussian General Von Seeckt. He is the man who organized the German Reichswehr. Yes, Marshall Chiang Hays he has the roving bands of Communists squelched. But today warsnips are steaming up the Yellow River chasing a band of Chinese pirates who captured a British vessel, They took away v/i,th them twenty-six hostages including six Englishmen. Of those six, two are officers itf His Majesty's navy. So Uncle Sam's gobs and leathernecks and John Bull's tars are in hot pursuit. CHINA - 2 This bit of Chines© piracy follows the well known pattern The pirates took passage on that British vessel as orcLin&ry passengers* When the ship was out at sea .they threw off their ■Bk masks, and captured the ship, including the white passengers* Tonight they are hiding away with their .prisoners in some isolated section, deep in the human jungle that is China* Great Soott, our travfcls have taken us a long way.

They have customs and religious rituals entirely their own, which they enact to the accompaniment of bamboo flutes and noisy, thundering bullroarers* Ihey use bov and arrow and stone axes, but in some respects are quite civilized — with skillful agriculture, well-kept gardens and extensive irrigation, and, unlike the surrounding cannibal tribes, they are not ferocious, but quite friendly. There are two hundred thousand of them. This new race has just been discovered by Sew Zealand explorers, who with aeroplane patrols have been mapping out the almost entirely unknown region.
