 Kansas City Suits.
 Kansas City, Mo, May /29-Coincj. dent with the appearance in the state circuit court here today of proceed. iNgs asking an injunction to prevent officials - from enforcing the army draft registration law. every criminal invei tigating agency here of the fed. eral government was focusing ifs al. tertions upon running down ale ,ed eonspiracies to deeat the conscription rlen. In addition 'reparations were being made for conl ning a specia, United States grand jurJ here June to consider only cases groving out of alleged violations of federal yNr stat. utes.
 The injunction, bearing he nal s-~ of Raymond l. Moore, and Thomas R~ Sullivan officers of the Federation for Democratic Control. was filed in the circuit court only few minutes after Judge A. S. Van Valkenburgh announced he would cal the federal jury upon petition from Francis NJ. Wib.on, United States attorney for western Missouri

He refused to speak of them further than to say that Governor Gardner had been acting in an op- pressive manner"

 The petition sets forth that the reg. istration law is unconstitutional and caW.es involuntary servltude" The law also is in opposition to the Mis-. souri constitution in that it makes state officials act in fedora positions, it states.
 The hunt instituted by federal off cials was said by Mir Wilson to have set more investigators at work than lever had been upon any one case here. In laconic statement he said the agents expected to make full re- port within a day or SO" IL was said lat the federal building that they were tlrning their attentions particularly Ito ferreting out persons responsible for anonymous anti-conscription cards distributed throughout the city a few days ago.
 X similarly intense search after a legeda yiolators of federal war regu lations was being waged by Fred Ro1ertson. United States attorney for Kansas. whose offices are at Kansas City. Like Mir wilson, Mr Robertson declined Go detail the steps being taken or the exact course of lhe in- vestigationa.
