Springfield, Mass, and Hartford,
Conn.
This mighty air armada was
preceded by dash of the Ninth
Observation Squadron of 38
planes over New Hampshire,
Maine and Vermont and into New
York State and by a special 49,
plane combat squadron maneuver
over Dorchester Bay. The Ninth
Observation Squadron swung
through New Hampshire and

Albert Marco, Jailed Vice
Baron, Bore Enmity for
Accused Man, At Is Learned

LOS ANGELES, Calf, May
25 Q.N.S0 The name of Albert
Marco, the former so-called vice
baron of Los Angeles. came to
the fore here today as investi-
gators probed another phase OF
the Staying here last week of
Charles H. Crawford, prominent
politician, and Herbert Spencer,
veteran n newspaperman and
cruSading magazine editor.
About two years ago Marco
was tried on a charge of shoot
ing two men in a cafe brawl. He
was prosecuted by David Clark,
former deputy district attorney,
and now held in Jail in connec.
ton with the double Staying.
Invited to Party
The jury which tried the
Marco case failed to agree. Be-
tween Marcos first and second
trial, Clark. it was reported. was
invited to a party" by persons
he believed to be his friends.
Reports had it that there were
two women present at the party.
One of the women was said to
have been particularly attentive
to Clark. During the course of
the party a flashlight photo
graph was said to have been
taken.
Back of this incident, according
to a theory advanced by investi-
gators, is something that may
have a direct bearing on the
Staying of the two men.
Went After Photo
Investigators believe that Clark
may have gone to Crawford'S If
flee in an effort to get this photo
graph-one that Marco hoped,
according to the Investigators
theory, to hold over Clark's head
during the second trial. The
opinion also was advanced that
Clark's candidacy for municipal
judge was threatened by this
same photograph.
Marco was convicted in his
second trial and was sent to
San Quentin prison on two
counts of assault with deadly
weapon. He is still serving mis-
term.
Investigators believed that the
former deputy district attorney
went to Crawford's office last
Wednesday afternoon in the hore
of getting this photograph.

Shires to Languish In Minors Again
What-a-Man Arthur Resigned
to Another Year at MilWau-
kee First Base

Milwaukee, Sept. 20. - B - Art
Shires, the colorful first basenan Of
the Milwaukee Brewers, is resigned to
q fate which seems to decree that he
must languish another year In the
minors. No one In the majors Is
clamoring for him In very loud tone
Of voice and Art fears that. this sea-
son at least, he has been overlooked.
Shires, probably the original what-a-
man, was eased out OF the Chicago
White Sox for assorted misbehaviors,
and a years penance in the American
Association was supposed to be good
for his cocky spirit. And now, indi-
cations are, there will be two years Of
penance around first base In MIL
Waukee.
Determined to regain the goodwill
Of major league moguls Shires did be-
have In Milwaukee-pretty well.
II admit" said he, that lifted q
stein or two on occasions, but I was
always out there the next day to play
and produce. I thought I was enti-
tied to another shot In the big show,
and I was disappointed when no one
| put in bid for me-"
But he'll be no sulking wall flower.
"All that IS past and forgotten" he
observed. If I'm not drafted, and
don't expect to be, I'll come back here
and play just as hard as I did this
year. I'll show 'em. I'm young, only
a, and I'll be back up there yet"
Shires made an impressive record
with Milwaukee. He was batting
close to 400 all season.
