\ NEW Broadway Limited soon
"A will be flashing over the rails
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad be-
tween New York and Chicago. Com
pletely streamlined, the new Broad
way will reduce the running time
between the two cities to 16 hours,
making new history for this famous
train.
Electric locomotives will pull the
train between New York and Har-
risburg, Pa, giving way to steam
engines between Harrisburg and
Chicago.
Thus one Of the best known trains
in the country goes completely mod
ern, including the luxurious and dis
tinctive dining car built by the Ed
ward G.. Budd Manufacturing Com
pany Of Philadelphia, builders OF
stainless steel rail equipment.
The dining car presents a spa
cious, club-like atmosphere. 1nti-
macy is achieved in the skilful COM
bination of lounge sections and for
NAL placing of tables next to wide
windows. Rich in color, comfortable
in seating arrangement and excel
lent in service, it climaxes the mod
ern design of this new train.

TRUCKERS FIND RELIEF
FROM RACKETEERING

Relief for Virginia truckers from
the racket which has gouged $1,000,-
900 annually out of them and similar
interests in six other states was def
initely seen last week in the indict-
ment of 76 men in New York City by
a Federal Grand Jury on charges of
racketeering.
Two indictments returned by a
special Federal grand jury named 8
officers and delegates and 81 men,
bers of Local No. 8O7 of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters,
Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers
of America and six other individuals.
Each of the defendants, if convict
ed, faces a possible sentence of Al
years Imprisonment and fines totaling
$4,000 each. They were charged with
violating the Federal anti-racketeer-
ing act of 1884, enforced for the first
time in New York State, and the Sher
man antitrust act.
The indictments alleged the defen-
dants, using force and threats of vio-
lence, extorted $1,OOO,OOO of more an
nually from the $100,0OO,O00 a year
business in the trucking of general
merchandise and perishable foodstuffs
Flying squadrons of union men, the
grand jury charged, met the trucks
of out-of-town shippers and truckers
at the city limits and compelled them
to pay $9.42 apiece for a local BOT
driver whether or not the driver was
used or needed.
In addition, the indictment alleg-
ed. "shakedowns" of from $1,000 to
100000 were demanded from ship
pers and truck owners for the privi-
lege of being allowed to operate with
out interference.
The complaints came from ship
ping and trucking companies in Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Caro-
lima and Virginia.
The indictments were returned to
Federal Judge Robert P. Patterson
after grand jury inquiry which be-
gan last March % under the direction
of John Harlan Amen, special assis-
tant to the U. S. Attorney General and
No. Federal racket-buster.
! Judge Patterson Immediately or.
dered the issuance of bench warrants
for all defendants. Amen, who has
obtained PIT racketeering convictions
in the past two years, indicated he
would ask for immediate trial to give
shippers prompt relief.
Many shippers and truckers, the
Indictment said, have been forced out
of business or have suffered heavy
losses as a result of the alleged ex-
tortions.
Those indicted include William Dev
cry, president of the union; Thomas
L. Hickey, secretary treasurer; Sam
kel Brennan, recording secretary;
John Flaherty, trustee; William Camp
bell. Austin Furey, Thomas Clarke
and Thomas Kehoe, delegates.
The six non-members of the union
are Michael Murtaugh, J. Noonan,
"Frankie Doe," Charles Horowitz, A.
Slacta and "John Doe" Amen said
they were reputed to be gangsters.

SEARCHING FOR THIEF
OF 800 MEMS SUITS

Search for burglars who broke in
to a Chestertown clothing store and
carried out 300 suits valued at ap-
proximately $4,000 was pressed by
Eastern Shore police last week. In
one of the boldest thefts in months,
the burglars broke into the store by
the light of a street lamp and ap-
parently loaded the loot into a truck
parked in front.
Carl Bordley, owner of the store,
said the suits were on the second
floor. Clark Davis, of Chestertown
discovered the theft and notified the
owner.

Old Charlie gulped. tried to speak.
"You-you mean that. Robert? You
mean all that you said?"
Mean it! Say, I was never more
serious in my life. Old mems home.

he's coming home. He wants to build

Old Charlie grinned and brushed 4
hand across his eyes. His vision was
. little misty. But his heart was
pounding. There sursed up inside Of
him once more the old-time feeling, an
almost forgotten desire to live and
work.

Robert declared hotly. you'll stay

I'm away at work. You'll live right in

Old Charlie laughed bitterly. That
sounds little like mockery, Robert.

r OBERTS eyes were suddenly filled
with pity and shame. 1t came to
him how during the past few weeks he
had neglected the old man, failed to
pay him the little attentions that old
age requires.
Haven't accomplished anything!"
he blurted. Why. Dad, what are you

WORRY about" Robert told him, and
Donald said: Good heavens, Dad,
we'll take care Of you. Don't for one
minute think you can begin all over
again now. It's about time you TOOK
things easy"
This was fine as far as it went. Old
Charlie did take things easy for a
while. He puttered around the place
and spent long hours Ginning With
old cronies.
The boys, Robert and Donald, saw
10 it that the old gentleman had ev-
erything he wanted in the way OF
necessities, but they were in business
Tor themselves and were having
hard time of it making both ENDS
meet They did the best they could
for the old man, and he appreciated
1t. But the feeling of independence
was lacking. He was dependent, and
the thought made him miserable.
When winter set in. and there was
no longer any "puttering" to be done,
old Charlie was forced to spend good
deal of time indoors. Hence he found
more time to consider his predicament
and allow his thought to drift back
over his past life.
The result wasn't satisfying He
grew morose, and began to feel that
he was in the way. useless, unimpor-
tant.
THEN Donalds business took him
= out OF town and Robert and the
old man were left alone in the house.
Shortly after this Robert announced
his intention to get married.
TT won't make any difference with
you" he told old Charlie. Both
Marie and I want you to live on here
with US. Well have a great time to-
gether, the three of us"
Old Charlie smiled, and felt more
miserable than ever. Roberts decision
TO get married had a double effect on
him. First, he was glad that Robert
didn't feel obliged to postpone his
wedding because Of the old man. On
the other hand, he was pretty well
Informed as to young Roberts finan-
cial standing. He knew that the youth
would have hard shedding for a while,
supporting wife and a father.
More and more old Charlie came to
realize that he was in the way. He
had failed In business. and now he
had to load himself down on his son.
It wasn't right.
Robert, whose mind was totally oc-
cupied with plans for the forthcom-
ing wedding and business matters,
failed to notice the change in his

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. II G.N.S0.
Martha Raye, wide-mouthed movie
and radio singer, today was a legal
pawn in two sensational damage
suits filed by her father, Peter F.
Reed. -
In the first action Reed asked
$3.50 900 damages from Peter Bau-
mann, Miss Raye's manager, al
leging Baumann had stolen the
love of Miss Raye's mother, May
belle Hooper Reed.
In the second action, Reed de-
manded $4,000 damages from
Baumann and Mrs. Reed, as well
as an accounting of all Martha's
film and radio earnings prior to
her twenty-first birthday last Au-
gust q.
Long before Mrs. Reed was
granted an interlocutory decree
of divorce from Reed last March
2, Reed alleged, Baumann broke
UP their home and finally induced
Mrs. Reed to live with him. They
even posed as Martha's parents,
Reed alleged.
In asking an accounting of Miss
Raye's income, Reed declared his
daughter had earned weekly sums
ranging from $3.50 to $4,000 for a
two-year period prior to her twen-
ty-first birthday. He claims a so

SOVIET AIRMEN.
SPEED RETURN
OF 4 EXPLORERS
Early Take-off From Ice
FIoe Planned

MOSCOW, Feb. II Q.N.S0.
Ending a desperate search for
Russia's icebound polar scientists,
three Soviet fliers prepared today
to take the explorers from their
perilous ice.floe camp and start
them on the first leg of the jour-
ney back to civilization and
safety.
The three airmen landed near
the scientists camp off the
Greenland coast and Immediately
flashed the news that the four
marooned men at last had been
reached. Return of the explorers,
who began their voluntary exile
on the ice at the North Pole
nearly nine months ago. to the
Irescuing Soviet icebreaker, was re-
ported a matter of hours.
SLAV STOICISM BROKEN
A plane from the ice.breaker
Murman, locked in the ice about
IL miles from the explorers camp,
landed on flat ice field near the
marooned men. A dramatic re-
union took place, after which the
party made plans to return to the
Murman.
Several bottles Of beer and a
few oranges were the first pres
ents given to the long-marooned
scientists.
Climbing over the jammed ice,
Pilot Vlasov of the rescue plane
dashed to Ivan Papanin, whose
radio reports have kept the world
informed Of the quartet's situation
and embraced him.
A wireless message from the
Murman said all four were in ex.
cellent health and good spirits.
SHIP PRESSES FORWARD
Although adjacent ice jams had
threatened to break up the ice
floe on which the four drifted
from the North Police to a point
off the southeastern coast OF
Greenland, Papanin informed
Captain Oestaltsev of the Muir.
man that they could hold out for
three months more.
Papanin urged the captain to
take no risks and not to hurry.
Oestaltsev was advised to take off
the, freight and scientific instru.
mentS first. .
Meanwhile, the Murman con.
tinued to press forward through
the packed ice toward the point
where the airplane landed.
