predicament Lester Reed, Grand

Reed is prisoner at the La Sale
county Jail where he is being held
pending the results of an extensive
investigation being conducted by state
and federal authorities. Relatives of
the young man. who Is prominent in
and about Grand Ridge, spent the day
in Ottawa trying to effect his release
from custody, but at press time had
met with no favorable results.
Reeds case has been known to the
authorities since registration day but
no action was taken until yesterday
afternoon when Deputy Sheriff Misch

make the arrest. He was brought tC

Reed is charged with having sworr
