 Moran was found m the resort by constable and two private detec. tives, who were searching for Mon- goven.

RADIO PREACHERS
 CHURCH IS BURNED
Rev. Robert P. Shuler'S Los
 Angeles Edidce Damaged

Los Angeles, Oct. 27 (P) - The Rev. Robert P. Shuler, broadcastine pastor, and his Trinity Methodist church, South, were in public atten- ton again today as police investl- gated the mysterious bombing ot the downtown church building early Sunday morning.
 Only slight damage was done by the explosion. Police believed the blast was set off as a prank or by some crank who wished to frighten worshippers from the church. Nearby Windows Broken
 Several plate glass windows in the building and in nearby structures were broken. Police estimated the damage at s150.
 Police explosives experts said the bomb apparently was a black pow der bomb, similar to those used in aerial fireworks displays.
 Investigators said the device ap- parently had been hurled from a moving automobile.
 Shuler said he believed the blast was intended to scare members of his Congregation and keep them from church rather than to damage the building or radio station kGEF over which he broadcasts.
 On January 14, 1928, a dynamite bomb, placed under the southwest corner of the church, shattered two windows and wrecked a small au- tomobi1e.
 Shuler, through his addresses, de- livered over the church radio, fre- quently has been in' the public eye here. Last week the federal radio commission granted the church sta ton a 30 day permit pending an in- vestigation on whether it shall be permitted to operate permanently.

 This is the day of versatility in radio artists, and the more jobs one artist can do the more valuable he is to the broadcaster. An artist who can portray five or six different roles without effort is a real find for a station, and is we'll on the way toward wealth if his talent holds out.
 Among the many radio stars who hold two or more jobs on the air are a host of well-known names. Some of them are Graham Me Nance, Phil Cook, Georgia Backus, William Shelley, Florence Malone. Allan Joslyn, Gene, of Gene and Glenn fame, Jane Dillon and Ted Husing.
