attempt to abduct a 12-yearold girl

despite a widespread search, and police
today, abandoning hope of finding him
alive, began hunting for an unidentified
man in gray sedan" who threatened
the lad several months ago.
Lacking any other clew, the police
inclined to the theory that the man,
who also frightened a 14-year-old girl,
was mentally unbalanced, and that ne
possibly abducted Ebert.
The 12-year-old girl, Geraldine Clan
sky, was badly frightened but escaped
harm in last nights incident, when she
ran away from two men in dark sedan
who tried to entice her into the car, she
said, by offering her candy.
Geraldine gave police the license
number of the auto.
An account of the activities of the
man in the gray sedan" was given po-
lice by John Bohdan, 13, one Of the
Holleron boys playmates.
John said the man grabbed the
smaller boy one day and t.ied to make
him get in an automobile.
John, however, pulled Ebert away and
escaped up a railroad embankment
Later, Johns 14-year-old sister Anna
was chased by the same man, he said
but she also escaped.

has it been dangerous to change a

shown itself incapable? The danger lies
in continuing such an administration,
not in changing it. Democratic
success instead of imperiling the coun-
try will save the country"
The Governor departed from his pre-

omitted much of it because Of time
limitations for radio broadcasting.
At one point he attacked Henry Ford.
