BR0VE KIDNAPPING
SOUGHT HERE
Federal Agents Examine
/ Register of Visitors at
!. Monastery.

Special agents OF the Federal Bu-
reau OF Investigation are examining
the visitors register at the Franciscan
Monastery here in quest of q clue to
the kidnapers of Harry Browe, De-
troit baby, missing since September D.
With the cooperation Of Monastery
officials, agents have pored over long
lists of names on the record of Wis
itors in the hope of finding the per-
son who scribbled note to the Browe
family on a torn post card bearing a
picture of the noted Catholic edif1ce.
Such post cards are sold to pilgrims
Whe visit the monastery. 1t was
said there today the cards are not on
sale elsewhere, SO far as is known.
The card previously had been sent
through the mail and an old post
mark torn of. Across the card, in q
womans hand, was scrawled a note
telling the baby's parents that their
child was safe and in hands OF a
person who craved to care for such
. child.
The monastery loaned to the F.
3. I. agents several registers contain
ing names of recent visitors to the
shrine. It is understood handwriting
experts Of the F. B. I. technical lab
oratory are searching for a signature
in q hand that matches that found
on the post card.
The agents visited the monastery
on September 16, it was said. F. B. L
officials declined to discuss the in
yestigation.
An average of 100 persons a day
visit the Brookland shrine. They
come from all parts of the country
The post card note was received by
Mr.. and Mrs. Browe on September IL
q week after their baby disappeared
from it's carriage in a Detroit park
A man and woman had talked with q
child pushing the carriage few mo-
ments earlier.

Fascists between two strong govern
ment forces to retard the march on
the capital.
Troops Of Col. Jose Asensio, con-
centrated at Santa Cruz Del Retamar,
held their frightened lines while other
columns, commanded by Gen. Julio
Mangada near Oropesa, assaulted the
insurgent rear guard 20 miles behind
Fascist field headquarters at Talavera
de la Reina, the ministry asserted.
In addition, communications be-
tween insurgent units in the Talavera
eector were destroyed by aerial attacks
from Socialist bombing planes, the
government declared.
Government claims were made in
heavily censored dispatches after the
war ministry had issued an official
bulletin on the progress Of the war,
which was described as most opti-
mistic.D
Heavy Casualties Inflicted.
Madrid military authorities declared
Gen. Mangada's troops descended
from Navalperal, on the southern
Vi tllC NIudodlA dlllh 2hOdAAOdAklop
to Oropesa to cut the Fascist lines
westward.
Surprised insurgents suffered heavy
casualties. the government claimed,
during bitter fighting between Oro-
pesa and Talavera.
Virtually the entire sector between
Talavera and Maqueda, an extensive
plateau, was reported to have suf-
fered from the effects Of the drastic
government measure.
Socialist commanders declared the
victorious rear attack, together with
rear guard reenforcements for govern
ment defenders, may Illustrate def
nitely Fascist military plans to reach
Toledo and Madrid.
(The pinching government move
nnent described by the war ministry
apparently would halt the advance
on the capital and force Gen. Fran
cisco Franco, Fascist southern COM
mander, to send troops back over the
route they have advanced.
Of the government claims are true,
The insurgent southern army, with its
auxiliary columns moving south and
north of the main line OF march,
might have to recapture previously
occupied territory between Talavera
and Caceres, generally military head
quarters for the southern insurgents)
Rebel Reverses Claimed.
In addition to the Talavera victo-
ries, the war ministry reported these
developments:
Defeat of a rebel column marching
from Gijon to the assistance Of be-
sieged Fascists at Oviedo.

insurgent gunboat. the Canarias, at

Subsequent letters disclosed that Col.
Johnston of the Ohio Nai..s.lal Guard
Cavalry Reserve was specializing in
defense" advice to industrial concerns
and that the Lake Erie Co. attempted
to keep in good" with him for the
sake of business obtainable.
In numerous cases, letters revealed,
companies purchasing gas or similar
equipment desired to keep 1t . COM
plete secret.
A colorful account Of business prac-
tices Of the National Corporations
Service and its affiliate, Allied Corpo-
rations Service, was given yesterday by
lawson and Kuhl, former employees.
1t was Kuhl who told the COM
mittee that strike-breaking street car
operatives furnished by the Allied
Corporations Service for duty In .
New Orleans traction strike pocketed
all receipts from passengers and later
split the total with their strike
breaking bosses and with McGufin
and other officials Of the strike-break-
ing company. The railroad company,
Kuhl explained cheerfully, didn't re-
ceive anything in the way of revenue,
but kept its cars operating.
In another case. Kuhl testified, a
president Of client company had his
office wired with = dictaphone and
then proceeded to attempt to bribe
employe representatives. His purpose,
Kuhl explained, was to trap the en-
ploye representatives and discredit
them with their fellow union men,
bers.
Both Lawson and Kuhl explained
that reports on under-cover investiga-
tions are always built up" all along
the line. The agent, for instance,
usually fakes them to begin with to
his home office and the latter, pos
sessed Of q greater degree Of artistry
and realization Of what the client
company expects. builds up the report
some more. Often. the report is
accompanied by recommendation that
guards" be hired to protect the COM
pany property.
Asked If any honest men were in
the business Of being stool pigeons or
strike breakers. Lawson said they were
few and far between"
There Is something wrong with
most Of them or they wouldn't be in
the business" he added. Anybody
who comes along Is hired"
Defines Trade Names"
Kuhl, whose sandy red hair and
fiery red face earned him the nick
name Of Red" frequently aroused
everybody at the hearing to laughter
as he described some of his ventures
with strike breaking 'gorillas." He
and Lawson combined to clarity the
following trade names" for the COM
mittee:
Fink-A strikebreaker.
Noble-A chief FINK, or boss OF
strike-breaking gang.
Hooker-An operative who inviegles
union men into acting as spies on
their fellows. and keeps them hooked"
by threatening to expose them to the
union.

ernment's defenses against the in
