Police Say united States May

Documents Returned

Fear that misuse Of papers
stolen from the automobile
of Herbert Feis, economic ad-
visor of the State Department,
might result in embarrassment
to the United States Govern
ment caused the Washington
police to send a national broad
cast Of the theft today.
Feis' car. he told police, was
parked in front of his home in
the 1900 block Twenty-ninth st.
N. W. The theft was committed
between l a. m. and 8 a. M.
today, he said.
In addition to his operators
permit, registration card, official
parking card and State Depart
ment Identification card, he said
the thieves took other valuable
papers.
Broadcast Nationwide
The police decline to admit
that they have been given
detailed descriptions of the
valuable papers" which have
disappeared. They apparently are
impressed, however, with their
value and the admission that
improper use of them, or their
possession by wrong persons,
might cause embarrassment to
the Federal Government, as the
radio lookout was broadcast to
all police departments in the
country.
The lookout sent out by the
police read:

when he advocated abandonment

international finance.
That was in January "a, 1882,
during agitation which swept
many nations and brought many
of them, notably England, to
silver as a basis of currency.
Particularly Significant
This feature of Feis's activities
makes the disappearance of his

BY BRUCE CATION

IN Dictator" George Slocombe
Il presents a fictionized portrait of
dictator which is so lifelike that
1T spoils a good novel.
The first two-thirds Of the book
can be nothing but a study of Mus
solini. I do not know how much
fiction is mingled with fact here.
but as you read you feel that you
are getting a better understanding
of the italian leader than you ever
had before.
Mr.. Slocombe begins with the
pre-war years, when his hero-he
is called Hannibal" in the book
was homeless anarchist hiding
from the police.
Then he traces his development
through the years when he swung
to the other extreme of political
thought, follows him up through
his triumph, and shows him at last
as the successful dictator.
Then, abruptly, the key changes.
There is a counter evolution,
brought about chiefly because Han
nibal shelves his mistress and mar
ries the kings daughter.
Hannibal is chased out, and for
years he wanders the earth again,
becoming a revolutionary labor
leader in South America, Europe and
the United States.
At the last he returns to his ma
tive country, leads a new revolt,
and once more puts himself on top
of the heap,
All this is intensely, thrillingly
dramatic-but the transition Is too
abrupt. You feel that you're read
ing biography of Musolini, and
suddenly you find you're reading a
gorgeous romantic novel, and It's
too sudden. Aside from that,
though, it's fine book.
It's published by the Houghton-
Mifflin Company, and costs $3.50.

AS the time for the convention
draws nigh, a closer scrutiny of the
two candidates is developing and it
is realized that certain forces
friendly to the Republican nominee,
Senator James E. Watson, because
they desire the reelection of Presi-

They work on the theory that being
younger than Van Mugs, and there

wise, he will be- easiest to defeat.
Support of opposition party organs
have not proved an asset in past
