Police of the vice squad yester-

the premises, crowded with more
than so men, they went away
without their quarry, but carrying
to headquarters more than $100
without a claimant.
When the police entered the
premises the occupants left hur-
riedly. Entering through billiard

OVER
Washington
BY kenny ION
Federated Press

WASHINGTON - OPP - At
last a partial answer has been
found to the question universally
asked at the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt-which way now,
Mr.. Roosevelt? The partial an
swer seems to be, in simple
terms, to the right.
Three things lead to- the con-
clusion that the President in the
next four years will be more con-
sentative than previously. They
are his stand on neutrality and
Spain, the budget message, and
his annual message to- Congress.
AS was pointed out by mem
bers of the Progressive bloc in the
House during the debate on the
resolution barring the shipment
of arms to the government of
Spain, the embargo is an anti
neutral act. According to Rep.
Maury Maverick Cd. Tex.) the
