NURSES TRACKED
 INTO. NEW RACKET

Boston, Oct. 26.-(UP)-Assistant Attorney General Maurice M. Gold man today investigated more than 100 Metropolitan Boston nurses registries involved in lone of the worst rackets I have ever encoun- tered"
 He said registries charged $5 to $25 as registration fee and then gave nurses only sufficient cases to make up the fee. Some registries, he said, maintain rooming houses and give occupants only enough cases to meet their rent.
 Goldman urged regulation of reg istries by municipal licensing.
 "Altough an employment office has to have 8 license to get jobs for laborers," he said, lone of these nursing registries can open up to- morrow morning and clip 1000 nurses for $5 each without so much as taking out 8 license"

MIDGET RACE
DRIVERS SET
FOR EV E N T s

Peace among drivers on the midg-
ct speedway was shattered today
when Fred Salmen and Hardin
Young, leading speedsters opened
verbal blasts in regard to the out
come of the main event at the
midget speedway Sunday afternoon.
Young, who won last weeks races
in easy style, started the fireworks
by loosing a crack about Salmens
inability to keep his car upright.
Salmen, leading point getter in this
years races, was up in arms in a
flash and began to cast reflections
on the Young tribe for centuries
back.
The speed demons finally quiet
ed, however, when Hobe Herrick
suggested the pair lay some money
on the outcome of next weeks
events. Neither driver was par
ticularly anxious to bet but each
vowed he would beat the other if
he had to run the wheels off his
tiny car
Midget officials predicted fans
would see the battle of the year
at the speedway when Young and
Salmen open their speedsters in an
attempt to outdo the other Sunday.
