local cooperation in prohibition en-
forcement. Assistant Attorney General

sibility."

National Radio Forum, arranged by
The Star and broadcast over the coast
forecast network of the Columbia
Broadcasting System.
The number of Federal agents-esti-
described as "pitifully inadequate" to
the task Of drying up the country.
Reiterating the appeal for State CO.
operation frequently voiced of late by
Attorney General Mitchell, Prohibition
Director Woodcock and Chairman
Wickersham of the Law Enforcement
Commission, Youngquist said the local
authorities in many sections already
were giving valuable help.
Enforcement, ne asserted, was be
coming more effective" and would i'm
prove in the future. However. he en-
phasized, 1t was not a matter Of en-
forcing prohibition laws alone, but that
cooperation was needed for obtaining
observance Of all criminal statutes.

almost helpless. A man was reported
to have invited Marverine and several
other children to take q ride with hin
In an automobile Wednesday. The de-
scrtption the children were able to give
OF this man was so vague 1t was of but
little help. Marverine and her com.
panions refused to enter the car, but Il
was believed the man might later have

Bloodstains were found today on the
moor OF barn about a block and q
half from the place where the child,
body was discovered. It was considered
possible she might have been attacked
and killed In the barn.

received from Elkhart that a man Civ.
ing the name OF Frank B. Shuey, 81, Of

POST OFFICE RENT
PROBE UNDER WAY
Preliminary Inquiry Reveals
Two Bidders Hold Mil
lions in Leases.

BY the Associated Press.
Preliminary investigation Of the Gov
ernment's annual rent bill for leased
post Office stations has disclosed that
two professional bidders each held
leases totaling about 1000, 900.
Special investigators for the Senate
Committee named to look into the 5000
leases that last year cost the Govern
ment more than $4,000 have made
sufficient analysis of records to enable
the Senate Committee to begin open
hearings whenever 1t chooses.
1t is expected the committee-through
its chairman, Senator Blaine of Wis
cunsin, as a subcommittee of one--will
start the public investigation early in
September.
Meanwhile, it was learned today the
Post Once Department has instituted
an independent inquiry into the value
OF all post ONCE stations rented for
$4,000 or more year. Postmaster Cen
eIal Brown IN a recent radio address
said he would recommend Government
ownership of such structures.
Inc Two large PROFESSIONAL Dlduers
referred to are Jacob Kulp, head OF
Post ONCE Inc, with Offices in Chicago,
and Raymond Brown, with headquar-
tiers in Indianapolis.
Investigators were put to work by the
Senate Committee last Spring, follow
ing disclosure that an item of 100000
year from st. Paul station covered
rent on building valued at about
5000, 000
The Committee investigators have
made a detailed analysis Of some SOC
major post Office leases. including the
estimated valuations of the buildings.
One of the first lines of inquiry to
be pursued by the Senate Committee
will be to determine how professional
bidding companies financed their OPP
erations. Names Of prominent individ-
uals are mentioned in the data COL
lected for the committee, but the docu-
ments do not show how the companies
were financed. The COMMITTEES viii
hold extended hearings on leases OF
buildings in New York, Chicago, De-
troit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dali
las and st. Paul.

Five Candidates Racing for Senate
Observation-Disclosures Issue
Is Liquor Law Repeal.
BIZ G. GOULD LINCOLN,

BOSTON, Mass, August 29.-with
the State primary elections only a
couple OF weeks In the future, the
Democrats OF the old Bay State are
tearing one another to pieces.
This might be interpreted as indicat-
ing Republican sweep at the polls
next November IL it were not for the
fact that the Democrats Of MaSSachu-
sets, particularly those of Boston, have
been engaged In just such q pastime
for years, and at the same time the
Democratic vote in the State has con-
tinued to grow larger and larger. The
elimination came two years ago when
the State went for Al Smith for Presi-
dent by more than 1900 votes, and
Senator David I. Walsh was reelected
by the astounding lead of $4,000 votes
over his Republican opponent, b. Loring
Young.
So, notwithstandin gthe present rue
tons in the Democratic ranks, the
party leaders continue to insist that
they viii elect their candidate for the
Senate and viii win two to four of
the congressional seats now held by
Republicans.
Gov. Allen Appears Strong.
The opinion is general, however
among both Democrats and Republicans
that the intra-party strife is likely to
lead to the election of q Republican
Governor this year-with Gov. Allen
the incumbent, as the successful con-
tender.
Interest is particularly strong in the
contest for the senatorial nomination
in the coming Democratic primary
There are flve candidates: Marcus A.
Coolidge, who is no relation Of the
former President; former Gov. Eugene
N. FoSS, Peter j. Joyce, Thomas c.
O'Brien and former Representative
Joseph r. O'Connell. When all Is said
and done the contest appears to rest
really between Coolidge and O'Connell
although the latter recently became
seriously Ill while returning from q
meeting of the American Bar Associa-
ton in Chicago. OConnell has been
ordered by his physicians to keep of
distinct hardship. for he Is q sturdy
campaigner and was prepared to open
upon Coolidge in mastery style. One
of his brothers will fill his speaking en-.
gagements for him. &c remains to be
seen whether O'Connells illness will
win him yotes-out of sympathy for his
illneSs-or viii lose him the nomination
on the theory that it would be folly IL
nominate man who may not be able
to make the campaign IN October
