The Eagle has just published booklet of "In Memoriam" Verses You miy obtain a copy of this booklet, without charge, by calling an Eagle Ad Tiker at MAin 4-6000. 8tay-at-bome who rely for their news of the European situation on the travelers brought into the harbor on returning ships were apt to be slightly crossed In their predictions today with the arrival of three travelers, all with somewhat different opinions of what it's all about. Best known of the incoming voyagers was John Masefield, Poet Laureate of England, for a brief visit. He was both optimistic and pessimistic at the same time on the situation abroad, but thought he saw a silver lining. On the Red Star liner Pennland, docking at Pier 3.

Hoboken, the Rt. Rev. Philip Cook, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Delaware and president of the National Council of Protestant Episcopal Churches, said Germany is the most pleasant coun try for a tourist of any abroad. His wife and their seven children agreed. Commends Fair Prices 'If you conform to their cus toms," said Bishop Cook, speaking of Germany, "they will take the best care of you.

They do not allow an lncreasi) of the prices to take advantage of their tourist trade, and if you remain more than seven days, you get special rates on the railroads. "Hitler is out to get every bit of business he can and he apparently wants the American trade." Opposed to the bishop's viewpoint was the one of Prof. O. S. Gibbs of the University apt Tennessee, who also spent some time in Germany and found things not quite so pleasant.

He said he had talked to many people who were unable to get fresh meat supplies because the meat was being canned, for what purpose he could only assume, as it was "not for local consumption." War Plans Pushed, He Says "Germany has fully decided she Is going to have a war with somebody," he remarked, "and the people of Switzerland are absolutely convinced that a war is coming. In France five years ago I found the people peaceful; nor they are either rebuilding or bombproofing all their railway stations near the German frontier." Masefleid arrived on the Cunard-Whlte Star liner Aquitanla to read a poem on John Harvard, at the Harvard Tercentenary celebration. He expects to read the verse tomor row or the next day and return to England at once. Feels Sanity Will Win He said he left Europe In a state of great anxiety, but that he thought "the sanity of man will come to the fore to prevent war." "Nowadays," he continued, "vie tory is apt to be as depressing as defeat to a nation at war." Also on the Aquitania were Miss Agnes Michael and her mother, Mrs. Anna Michael, of 2549 E.

21st St They had been abroad to visit their sister and daughter, who is the wife of Tom Webster, famous English cartoonist. They said they liked England and hoped to go back, but the sight of the Brooklyn waterfront "was worth all of England." Another returning voyager was Senator A. Harry Moore, Democrat, of New Jersey, who employed sev eral foreign phrases, all of which, he said, meant "Roosevelt to win." Col. O'Mahoney Paid Last Honors A solemn requiem mass was offered this morning at Our Lady of Grace R. C.

Church for Lt. Col. Jeremiah W. O'Mahoney, who died of a heart attack Sunday at his home, 95-11 16Sth St, Howard Beach. He was 52.

procedure, C. Alex Capron of 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan, lawyer for Mrs. Pauline V.

Rogers, Standard Oil Company magnate, of Southampton and New York.

Administrators of the Rogers es tate, who are Adrian Larkln. Albert Stickney and the Central Hanover Bank Trust Company, had asked Surrogate Robert S. Pelletreau to determine the judicial propriety of inclusion in their accounts as assets some $150,000 worth of Jewelry and $49,474 of debts. Owns Gems, Says Widow Mrs. Rogers, the widow, claimed that the jewelry was her own.

and that the figure for debts supposedly due the estate from her. her daughter, Milllcent Rogers Balcom. and the latters former husband, Count Salm, was wrong. Mrs. Rogers contended that all she owes the estate is a $6,000 promissory note.

Her lawyer. Mr. Capron. maintained from the beginning that the case should have taken the form of a discovery proceeding and not become a case to determine the ownership of the jewels. He objected vigorously to the testimony of P.

L. Behrendt. private secretary of the late Colonel Rogers, and later walked out of court. Reads Valuations Mr. Behrendt, who was the first witness, read from the bookkeeping accounts oi tne late Colonel Rogers, which valued an emerald ring at $30,000.

Rath-bone Perry, attorneys for the executors, to show that the valuations were precise. An insurance policy indicating the replacement value of the jewels at $225,000 also was produced. Mr.

The young star-maker died here.

yesterday of pneumonia at his home. He was 37. Doctor Fliea From N. Y. Mr.

Thalberg, who had fought 111 health virtually all his life, suffered a cold while on a visit to Del Monte. He returned here last Thursday and went to bed, confident that a brief rest would restore him. On Sunday he took a sudden turn for the worse and was In 'a coma for five hours before the end. Dr. Philip New-mark and Dr.

F. Groedel, who flew out from New York, were with him. At the bedside were his wife, their two children, Irving 6, and Katharine. 14 months; his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

William Thalberg; his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Welngarten; his mother-in-law, Mrs. Edith Shearer; Louis B. Mayer and Edward J.

Man-nix, business associates, and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Hyman. friends. Miss Shearer, grief-stricken, was in seclusion today, while Nicholas M.

Schenck, president of Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer, was on his way here today on a special plane from New York. Mr. Thalberg. known In Hollywood as the "boy wizard," began his motion-picture career at 19. He was Just 24 when he stepped up into the executive position he held at his death.

Born In Brooklyn Born on May 30, 1899, in an old-fashioned house at 1303 Bushwick Ave, Brooklyn, he was the son of William and Henrietta Thalberg. His father had a small lace importing business. Young Thalberg attended P. 3. 85 in Brooklyn and was graduated from Boys High School there, He was preparing to study law when stricken with a heart ailment and was confined to his bed for six months.

While thus confined he studied shorthand, typewriting and Spanish. Later he was able to take a course at a business school and special work1 at New Yor, Univer slty. While acquiring a well-rounded commercial education he supplemented lt in a practical way by writing advertisements In The Brooklyn Daily Eagle One day he decided to write an advertisement for himself. Appear ing in the New York Journal of Commerce, it read: "Situation Wanted Secretary, stenographer, Spanish and English. High school education, inexperienced.

$15." He received four answers and promptly accepted one. In a year he had become assistant manager of an exporting firm, but he left the Arm and scouted around for another position. Met Carl Laemmle About that time he paid a visit to his grandmother at Edgemere in Queens, N. and was introduced to Carl Laemmle, president of Universal Pictures. The film executive took a liking to the young man and offered him a job.

Much to his amazement, youn Thalberg declined. Some days later the young man was wandering along Broadway In New York City and passed the offices of Universal Pictures. He suddenly made up his mind that he wanted to get into the film business. Stepping into the offices he asked, not for Mr, Laemmle, but for a job. He got lt, a 135-a-week secretarial post.

It was several months later before Mr. Laemmle discovered that young Thalberg was working for him after telling him he did not' want to. The film executive made the young man his private secretary. His work drew- the attention of Louis B. Mayer, an independent producer, and in 1923 young Thalberg left Universal and established a film company with, Mr.

Mayer. The following year the Mayer and Metro-Goldwyn were merged into on organization and Mr. Thalberg was installed as vice president in charge of production. His genius as a producer quickly demonstrated Itself in and "The Big Parade." Stars he sped on the road to fame and fortune- were John Gilbert, Miss Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo, Lon Chaney, Ramon Novarro, Marie Dressier, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Clarke Gable. Jackie Cooper, Jean Harlow and Myrna Loy.

In discovering Norma Shearer he found a wife, but no one would have guessed it at the time, their first relationship being entirely profes sional. He brought her to the Coast from New York, where she was do. ing bits in films, but lt was two years later before he had his first date with her. They were married in 1927 and since then had been regarded as one of the movie col ony's most ideally matched couples When the talkies came along Mr. Thalberg quickly adjusted himself and his organization to them, launching film after film to smash all box office records.

"Romeo and Juliet," starring Miss Shearer and Leslie Howard, was recently released. Under his supervision "Camille" and The Good Earth" have Just been completed. Mr. Thalberg was modest almost to bashfulness. Frequently he would ForSam'lT.
