ginning Thursday. by Leon G. Turrou
who broke" the case for the Federal

Mr.. Turrou, one of the ace in
vestigators for the F. B. l., worked
an average of more than 16 hours
every day for three and half months
on the spy ring investigation. After
the indictments had been secured, he
decided to resign and write a strictly
factual account of the rings activities
for two purposes:
First, to inform the people Of this
country of the methods used by the
spies and the scope of the conspiracy
so they may be on guard in the future.
and, second, to point out what he
regards the inadequacy of Americas S
intelligence services in combating
high-powered espionage within its
borders in the hope of creating a
public demand that these departments
be strengthened
Mr.. Turrou, who has been with the
F. B. I. for 10 years, lives with his

BENSON RETURNS
TO LEAD IN RACE
Governor Given 5,628.Vote
Margin Over Petersen
in Minnesota.
B' the Associated Press.

MINNEAPOLIS. June 2l.-Gov.
Elmer A. Benson. Minnesota. pushed
ahead of his challenger. Hjalmar Pc
terSen, for the Farmer-Labor nomina-
ton in Mondays primary election, as
additional returns were compiled to-
day. The lead had changed hands
frequently.
Gov. Benson had 5,628 lead on
the basis of 1859 of 3,739 precincts in
the State Mr. Petersen's margin,
built up with rural votes, was slashed
heavy when q batch of ballots came
in from Hennepin County tMinne-
apolis), Benson stronghold. The vote
with about half the precincts re-
ported was: Gov Benson, 49, 1895; Mr..
Petersen, 107.267.
The two Farmer-Labor candidates
polled $4,000 votes more than the four
Republican aspirants, lending credence
to the belief that thousands of Re-
publican voters had jumped the party
fence in move designed to eliminate
Gov. Benson from the general election
in November.
Overshadows Other Contests.
Despite l0,0O0-vote advantage piled
up by Gov. Benson in two-thirds of
the precincts in Minneapolis and, St.
Paul, considered his strongholds, Mr..
Petersen cut deeply into the lead of
his Farmer-Labor Convention indorsed
opponent as rural votes began to pour
in. Mr.. Petersen seemed to maintain
the margin in out-State precincts.
The Farmer-Labor race overshadowed
the Republican and Democratic con-
tests. Harold Stassen, Republican, and
Thomas Gallagher, Democrat. both
young lawyers, were leading their re-
spective fields.
In the Republican column, where
the total vote of the four candidates
was $1,000 in l,249 precincts, as COM
pared with 10000 for the Farmer
Labor candidates, the vote stood:
Mr.. Stassen, 1882; Martin Nelson,
1896; Mayor George Leach of Mime
apolis, 23,207; Harson Northrop, 1,439.
The Democratic vote for Governor,
in 1,249 precincts, was: Mr.. Gallagher
9,227; Fred Schliplin, 1857; Michael
Murray, 6,872; Victor Anderson, 3,465;
Charles Lethert, 2,l18, and Joel Ander-
son, 1872.
Christian Was Issue.
Although the national administra-
tion kept out of the campaign, Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently approved the
custer of Victor Christgau as State
w. P. A. administrator. Gov. Benson
had urged Mr.. Christgau's removal,
and Mr.. Petersen criticized the dis
charge.
Mr.. Petersen broke with Gov. Ben
son shortly after the latter's induction
into Office in 1887. Since then he re-
peatedly has attacked the Governor,
promising in his campaign to drive
the political racketeers from Capitol
Hill"
