College Teacher Out of Job in Santa Barbara SANTA BARBARA (P) — A handsome sociologist, out of a college training job which included a course in crime detection, will plead guilty to being a burglar, his attorney announced today. The lawyer, W. P. Butcher, said Dr. Gwynne Nettler had admitted to him that he took furnishings from various Santa Barbara homes and put them in his own. A woman friend's tip to police led to Dr. Nettler's arrest two days ago. He is accused on three handsome sociologist, out of a college training job which included a course in crime detection, will plead guilty to being a burglar, his attorney announced today. The lawyer, W. P. Butcher, said Dr. Gwynne Nettler had admitted to him that he took furnishings from various Santa Barbara homes and put them in his own. A woman friend's tip to police led to Dr. Nettler's arrest two days ago. He is accused on three counts of burglary and one of carrying a concealed weapon—a revolver with Sheriff John Ross said was found in Nettler's car. Butcher said Dr. Nettler will plead guilty to second degree burglary and will ask probation. He said his client realizes that his teaching days are over but still wants "to do something creative in the line in which he has been trained — sociological and crime prevention work." The attorney added that Nettler blames his essay into crime on "emotionalism bred in him through a sordid love affair." The woman friend turned over to Sheriff Ross a letter, signed with Nettler's name, acknowledging the burglaries. Nettler denied that the signature was his, but Butcher said the sociologist now agrees that he signed it. Butcher identified the woman as Mrs. Francine Schaefer, a divorcee. Dr. J. Harold Williams, Provost of Santa Barbara college, announced last night that Dr. Nettler has resigned as an assistant professor of sociology.

As opposition parties held closing rallies, many supporters of President Juan D. Peron awaited his wife's recorded radio message, hoping for promises of salary increases and other social gains if her husband is re-elected for the 1952-58 term. The message will be broadcast at 8:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. EST). Senora Peron underwent a major surgical operation three days ago, but recorded her message to her "beloved shirtless ones" — Peron-supporting laborers—before she went to the hospital.

WHITE Gazette Home Economist Since we sometimes are a bit reluctant to think about the Christmas season before Thanksgiving is here, it comes as rather jolt to find that the deadline for sending Christmas packages overseas is Nov. 15. That date has been set because four to six weeks at the very least is required reach the destination and blow through the red tape that is involved when a great many packers are sent out of the country service men. In the past, the sum total of packages sent has been tremendous but a check of the individual viceman shows that his share every small and in some cases, is skipped all together. Can you think of anything worse than be spending Christmas in torrential cold, under battle conditions, far from home at Christmas, and have no one at home brought enough to send a remembrance? Surely no one who writes the Christmas Message to start could fail to send some sort of gift to lift the spirits of a long fellow in the service. Postal Regulations According to the postal authorities, each box sent to an APO number must weigh under fifty in double thicknesses of corrugated cardboard, and if it contains anything fragile, should be plainly marked. To send a package air mail, the rate is 80 cents per pound while regular mail is figured at the rate of 19 cents the first pound and five cents for each additional pound. If the package bears a New York APO number, it is well to check with the post office to see if a custom declaration is needed. There is a special form for this on which should be listed the contents of the box. This is not necessary for other APO stations. What to Send The post office does not place many restrictions on the type of thing which may be sent except to draw the line on lighter fluid, guns, other ammunition, etc. The soldier's, sailor's or marine's specific requests are the best guilds of course, but lacking these, it is good to know of the general gift categories that are really appreciated. According to the Department of Overseas Weifare of the El Toro Marine base, most of the boys have cold weather to contend with, and although adequate "Mucklucks," wool scarves, fur lined gloves and sweaters. Toilet articles can usually be purchased at the PX but cigarettes are another thing the boys like to find in gift packages. And very high on the preferred list is food of the kind that is apt to be lacking on the regular GI bill of fare. Suggestions along this line of foods that pack and keep well are canned fruits, canned Boston brown bread or put bread, candy, canned chicken, instant coffee and chocolate, canned holiday puddings, fruit cake, cookies. To Fill the Box The thing to keep in mind is that the package will be a minimum of four weeks on the way, so obviously some selections will be much better than others for the purpose. Penney's report that heavy swat shirts have been selling like mad because they are comfortably warm yet inexpensive to buy and light to send. Hadley's Bakery has an array of very appetizing looking fruit cakes, especially made and packaged for overseas shipping. A search of the shelves of Alpha Beta and Safe-way stores reveals a great variety of foods particularly suitable for the purpose. If you plan to bake cookies at home, choose either the rich-moist variety which stay moist indefinitely, or those that are meant to be crisp and very dry. Pack each kind in a separate box and in the case of the moist cookies, wrap each individually in wuxed paper and fill up empty spaces with pop corn to prevent breakage. A good idea for cut out, crisp cookies like sand tarts, for example, is to pack them in an Postal Regulations According to the postal authorities, each box sent to an APO member must weigh under fifty pounds and its combined length and girth must not exceed 72 inches. To insure safe arrival, the package should be wrapped. The soldier's, sailor's or marine's specific requests are the best guides of course, but lacking these, it is good to know of the general gift categories that are really appreciated. According to the Department of Overseas Welfare of the El Toro Marine base, most of the boys have cold weather to contend with, and although adequate clothing has been issued, the following items from home are highly prized: Heavy socks, slipper socks or home, choose either the rich-moist variety which stay moist indefinitely, or those that are meant to be crisp and very dry. Pack each kind in a separate box and in the case of the moist cookies, wrap each individually in wuxed paper, and fill up empty spaces with pop corn to prevent breakage. A good idea for cut out, crisp cookies like sand tarts, for example, is to pack them in an empty baking powder can, using the lid as a cookie cutter so that the cookies will exactly fit the can. Thus they will survive their long journey crisp and unbroken. Our Best Buyin every way!
