RICH HARVEST
FALLS TO spy
i ARMY OF U. S,
Thousands of Shoppers in

BY Times Special
NEW YORK, June 20. - Amer
leans, in spite of their protesta-
lions of a love for personal liberty
and fair play, are the most spying
and spied-upon people on earth.
This is the assertion of Howard Nc
Lellan, criminologist and writer,
time manager for one. Of the
largest private detective agencies,
made in an article written for the
current issue of the North Amer
lean Review.
Mcclellan estimates that between
10000 and 10000 private detectives
constantly are employed throughout
the United States, and that the
public pays a minimum of $150,0U0
day, or SIS, $4,000 a year, to get
the goods" on somebody.
Aside from two major private de-
tective organizations with branch
Offices in thirty cities, there are
5000 smaller agencies with person
nels of from one to ten operatives
each, he finds. Of this army of
privately engaged spies, at least
1000 are women, many of them
girls with college backgrounds and
good social connections who go into
the work for the thrill of it.
Divorce is the background Of the
private detective business husbands
hiring men to trail their wives,
wives hiring women to win the con-
f1dence of their suspected husbands
because it is one phase of detec-
ton which is not, legally, under
taken by the police.
The larger agencies usually adj
vertiSe that they do not undertake
to obtain divorce evidence, but this
is only technically true, says the
North American Review article.
They will not permit their opera
tiveS to take the stand as witnesses
or otherwise identify themselves
with case after it has reached the
legal stage, but they will shadow
anybody for anybody" and report
on the movements of the subject,
notifying their client when the op-
perfume time has come so that he,
or she, may provide witnesses to
support the case in court.
Ethics and fair play generally are
disregarded and the law itself is
broken into many pieces by many of

BRITISH PARTIES
 MEET AT POLLS
Political ReyoltS Figure in South
 Paddington Vote

London, Oct. 30 (P)-Great Brit aims topsy-turvy political situation caused by revolt and dissension within the old established parties, particularly the conservative party, was dramatized today in the South Paddington bye-election where the 50,O00 voters balloted for a new member of parliament.
 The fight had provided excitement for a month, with two men and two women, battling for the seat in the house of commons made vacant by tragic death of Commander M. D.. King in a yachting disaster off the coast of Cornwall August Fl.
 Conservatives In Fight
 The conservative party and it's re- volting branches, the united empire party and the empire crusade, had three candidates in the field. Labor had one. The liberals were not rep resented.
 Paddington, heretofore safe con- servative district has been the scene of considerable political wrangling.
 The official conservative candidate was Sir Herbert Lidiard, the empire crusade nominee Vice Admiral F. X. Taylor, and the united empire party hope Mrs. Neil Stewart Richardson. Miss Dorothy Evans had the labor support.
 Sir Herbert Lidiard, a conserva- +t,-a J,o {irt.f in, 1,n Er1I nd all three degrees of tory followers scrapped over him: the official con- servative organization headed by Stanley Baldwin, eX-premier, the united empire party sponsored by Lord Rothermere, and the empire crusaders, led by the Canadian Lord Reaverbrook. After days of charges and counter charges over Sir Her bert's policy on the question of en- pire tariffs, the conservative ranks split wide open. Mrs. SteWart-Rich- ardson emerged as the united en- pre party candidate and Vice Ad- miral Taylor as the empire crusade nominee.
 Still further party dissension oc- cured. Lord Rothermere withdrew his support from Mrs. Richardson proclaiming that the causes of en- pire unity could best be served by votes for Vice Admiral Taylor. Both the knight, Sir Herbert Lidiard, and the vice admiral decried the split ting of the empire vote.
