A countrywide search was start.
ed yesterday for 6-year-old Ailene
Berger, who is alleged to have been
taken by her mother from the
summer home of the St AIMS Or

day afternoon,
The father. Alfred Bergen en-
ployed as a manager for a local
branch OF a syndicate produce con-
cern. living at SOC Twenty-second
street northwest, who has been
given custody of the child by the
courts, appealed TO the authorities
of Prince Georges County to aid
in the search for the missing child
and her mother.
According to officials at the or
phanage, the mother visited the
child Sunday afternoon. Shorty
afterward. the father. upon calling
for the child, learned it was miss
ing.
Previous Charge Dropped.
Last November. while they were
living in Huntington. Pa, the
mother was arrested on the charge
of attempted KIDNAPPING. The orig
inal charge was dropped. however,
and the mother asked the court
for a writ of habeas corpus to re-
gain possession of the child.
Early this year Berger and the
little girl came to Washington and
the child was placed at the St
AIMS Orphanagc, 23O0 X street
northwest.
AS a result of an appeal made
by the mother in Huntington. the
case was brought up in the Dis
trict Supreme Court last March
Associate Judge William Hitz au-
thorized the father to retain Gus
tody of the child and an order was
issued that the little girl was not
to be taken out of the District.
Taken to summer Home.
The child remained at the X
street orphanage and the mother
was permitted to visit her once a
month, according 10 officials. Dur
ing June the girl was transferred
to the summer home of the or

phanage last night declared they

in more than 100 Congressional
districts prohibition will figure this
fall, while six or eight of the Sena-
torial contests will raise the ques-
tion, two cases predominantly, New
Jersey and Missouri 1t will also
figure in Ohio, California, New
York, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Each party will support its can
didates. whether they are wet or
dry, on the theory prohibition is a
personal and not a party matter
Maryland 100 Per Cent Wet.
Maryland, for example, will have
a 100 per cent wet election. All
candidates on both tickets are wet
and the apparent basis upon which
the people will choose will be that
of which is the wettest.
New Jersey and Missouri are ex-
amples of the most significant pro-
hibition fights. Gov. Edwards. the
Democratic Senatorial candidate,
while he does not drink himself
is wringing wet insofar as prin-
ciples are concerned. Senator Fre-
linghuysen, who probably will be
renominated, is dry. Edwards was
elected governor of New Jersey on
his wet platform and is expected
to beat Frelinghuysen with the
same plank.
In Missouri, Senator Reed, who
always has been consistent in his
opposition to national prohibition,
is opposed by r. r. Brewster, an
ardent dry. The amazing race
made against Brewster during the
primaries by wet candidate
whose slogan was Vote for Me
and Beer" has led to free predic-
tions that Reed will poll the Re-
publican wet vote in addition to
all save the malcontents in the
Democratic party.
Secondary I'm Ohio.
Prohibition is secondary in the
Ohio election. Senator Pomerene
has voted wet or dry according as
his State has voted, whereas his
Republican opponent. Representa-
tive Fess. has always been a dry.
Vets believe they will make ma
terial gains in the House this fall.
Thus far the primaries, however,
have shown the prospect of no net
losses by the drys. At least rs
per cent of the House would per
sonally favor some modification of
the Folstead act. but regardless of
the November outcome there Is lit
tie likelihood of material change
in the law.
