 CLUES UNCOVERED
(By The Associated Press)


 Bremerton, Wash, April 3--All clues believed to be important in obtaining the identity of the slay- CTS of six persons in Bremerton are being studied while Jack B'lieder of Seattle, brother of one of the victims, remained un- shaken in his belief that robbery was the motive.
 One of the slayers was un- doubtedly wounded in the battle, Luke May said, after examining the blood stains in determining that some of them came from a person other than the victims. Sheriff D. l.. Blankenship called en all physicians in Bremerton and in Seattle to report their at tendance on any persons with un- explained wounds. Finger prints 1T the house would identify them, he said
 Meanwhile the Seattle under world is the subject of search Gu reports that the bartender and one of. the victims. and-salso both Mir and Mrs. Flieder had had al. tercations with Fred Balcom there..
 Jack Flieder, who had been at vaano of tha n,.,,,,a ,a;d 1hat he believed the robbers were known to his brother. When his brother Frank came home Thurs day night, they rang the bell. and when Frank went to the door he recognized at least one of them. He knew they were after his money. They forced their way in and fired shots to intimi- date the guests and members of the party then tied everyone up al tho point of pistol and taped their mouths
 Chenevert, former prize fight assgr@@heeame44filriou broke his bonds and began to light. In the struggle one of the members was killed. The robbers, knowing that everyone in the house knew their identity, proceeded to s!a- nghter the entire party.
 z Luke May described the crim, as that of fiend. probably large man with others of great strength, who was infuriated by bis lust for blood.
 A blOod-soaked coat turned out to belong to a navy yard worker who explained he had been in a bad fight.

LIQUOR WASHES OUT STATE
LINES
LINES

With the issuing OF an Older by
the Post Office Department directed
TO publishers, notifying all concern
ed that 1t is now legal TO advertise
and solicit orders for intoxicating IL
ouors through the mail, the last
promise made to the dry states mas
been broken. At the time of the
campaign for repeal of the Eighteen
til Amendment one of the solemn
promises made by the vets was that
dry states should be protected
against liquor. The speed with
which that promise has been broken
sets a new low for political pledges.
Fortunately the drys Were never
deceived by such promises they
knew what has now been demon
strated, namely, that with the con-
troll of liquor turned over to indi-
yidual states any adequate curb on
the liquor interests campaign would
be impossible. 1t should how be
clear to many citizens who would
not call themselves drys that the
need for some kind Of federal con-
troll of the liquor business is imper-
alive. The avowed purpose OF the
vets, in campaigning for repeal OF
the Eighteenth Amendment, was to
assure real temperance. Certainly
that end cannot be attained by al
lowing full play for wet advertising
and propaganda in newspapers, mag
azines and over the air.
Past promises to protect dry
states from this vicious propaganda
are now seen in all their emptiness.
Even if the vets were honest in
their beliefs, as many of them were,
they would be powerless to stop the
food under present conditions. But
the promises still stand and the dry
states will be heard from. The need
for federal control of the liquor
traffic daily becomes more urgent.
And this urgency will increase until
that control is exercised over those
interests whose profits grow as tenn
perance is broken down.-Christian
Science Monitor.

CHILD HEALTH PROGRAM IN
AUGURATED

A child health study program
worked out by the United States
Children's Bureau and various state
health officers at the request of
Harry L. Hopkins, National Admin
istrator Of the Civil Works Admin
istration.
It contemplates the location and
study of under nourished children
of Maryland and will include. in adj
dition, the arranging for, and assist
ing in, medical examinations of
children, the follow-up visits to the
homes to instruct parents in health
and nutritional needs of children
and the arranging for the correction
Of physical defects resulting from
malnutrition.
DR.. ]. H. Mason Knox, Jr., direc-
tor of the division of child hygiene
Of the State Department of Health,
is in charge of the work. After a
consultation with the health officers
Of the 20 counties and Baltimore
City DR.. Knox announced the project
would require the services of 70 reg
istered nurses nine of whom would
be assigned to- Baltimore City. The
SIS nurses in the counties are to be
assigned according to the needs of
the various sections.
The work is now under way
throughout the State, with the ex-
ception Of a few counties. 1t is
hoped the full quota will be employ
ed in the near future as the project
is considered of vital Importance by
health officials. Mover before has
such a comprehensive program Of
child health study been made in
Maryland. Health authorities, be-
cause of the lack of funds, have
been unable to proceed along the
lines now contemplated.

ONE EYED CARS

Menace of "one-eyed" cars on the
highways is called to public atten-
ton by the Keystone Automobile
Club of Maryland, which asserts
that too many motorists are care
less of their lighting equipment.
Hazards of night driving are In
creased very appreciably by the
presence on the highways Of auto
mobiles and trucks showing only one
lighted headlamp," said Albert e.
Buckley, Manager Of the Club. "A
noticeable increase in one-eycd cars
in recent weeks has impelled US
again to appeal to motorists to give
more attention to this important
phase of driving.
maryland highway officers have
been lenient with drivers OF one
eyed cars. There has been no dis
position to penalize them for unex-
pected failure of lighting equipment
We are in agreement with this pol
icy, believing that every motorist
should have opportunity to correct
the condition when it is called to his
attention, rather than be forced to
submit to arrest or summons fol-
an offense unknowingly committed
but we also believe that motor
lists, on their part, should give full
est cooperation by being prepared
to substitute new bulb for one that
has failed. Every motorist should
carry spare bulbs as a matter OF
simple precaution and should make
the substitution as soon as he dis
covers the failure. No driver can
proceed very far on an unlighted
highway without becoming aware
that only one headlamp Is lighted"
