ROOSEVELT ACTS
TO AID CASH HUNT
Makes Special Request Of
Congress for $50, 900
for G-Men.

Congress had before 1t today q spe-
scial request from President Roosevelt
for an emergency appropriation Of
$50. 600 to enable the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation TO concentrate all
available facilities on solution Of the
Cash kidnapping case in Florida.
Chairman Adams Of Senate ap-
preparations subcommittee predicted
that the money would be appropriated
"as matter OF course"
The White House acted on recon-
mendation of the Budget Bureau after
1t was disclosed that lack Of funds had
forced the G-men to curtail procedure
usually followed in an intensive man
hunt for kidnapers. An organized
search by posses was called of last
week because the r. B. !. was not in a
financial position to continue direction
Of the hunt.
The $4,000 fund, with deficiency
appropriation approved by the House
Appropriations Committee yesterday,
will restore the bureau to full-time ac-
tivity. When the Cash case broke, half
of the force of $40 special agents was
on furlough, due to exhaustion of regu-
lar appropriations.
Bills To Be Redeemed.
Part Of the sum requested by the
President, it is understood, will be
used to redeem at double their face
value any of the ransom bills recovered
by citizens. The seriaY numbers of the
$4,000 paid in vain for the release of
James B. Cash. jr. were recorded by
the G-men.
The money also will go toward de-
fraying cost of maintaining at the
scene of the kidnapping a temporary
field office and laboratory. 1t is the
practice Of the bureau in such cases
to set up a special mobile laboratory
IN which immediate examination may
be made of suspected evidence by ex-
perts from the bureaus technical lab
oratory here.
1t Is expected the request for $50 900
will be inserted in the pending de-
ficiency bill, which already provides
$258,000 for the F. B. 1. OF this
amount 100000 is to meet a deficit
incurred as result of emergent ac-
tivities in the Levine, Fried and other
cases and $l50,0o0 is for construction
OF rifle range and barracks for fire.
arms training at Quantico, Va.
Reports Criticized.
In recommending the $3.50, 900 de-
ficiency item, the House Appropria-
tions Committee criticized reports
that Congress was responsible for the
financial troubles of the G-men. and
pointed out budget estimates always
had been granted or exceeded. Rec
ords Of hearings show, however, the
budget estimates almost invariably
have been far below the amount re-
quested by the F. B. r., and that the
committee was aware Of this when ap-
preparations were granted.
Even with the deficiency item. the
F. B. I. will be forced to deduct $65. 900
from next years appropriation to close
this years deficit This will leave the
bureau with less money for the next
fiscal year than 1t started out with this
year.

OLD TURK = Daily Short Story : By Todd Wright

Dad?"
His father met the appealing
eyes of the mother. mo, I guess
not, son; we'll just have some
more of that smoked ham, won't
we mother?"
Bobby ran around the table and
threw himself into his fathers lap,
Rugged him fiercely and then ran
out to the barn to assure Old Turk
that he had escaped his destiny.
The next day Bert jumped out
Of his car, evidently after a hasty
trip back from town, for the car
was steaming. Bobby" he cried,
running toward the barn, "Bobbyl''
The boy came running from be-
hind the barn, with Old Turk close
at his heels.
Lets see that bird" his father
cried. Eyes, sir, here's the band
on his leg. Didn't you ever see
that band, SOM"
But without waiting for an an
Swer he ran into the house, where
he grabbed his wife by the arms
and swung her around and around.
whats wrong with you, you
idior?" she laughed, happy because
he was.
Bobby and Old Turk have saved
the farm" he cried, sweeping
down on a chair and pulling her
into his lap.
THAT noble bird out there is the
last known male Of some certain
species, for which some big turkey
fancier had been searching for
years. He was found down in
Arkansas and was being trans
ported to this mans ranch in a
truck when he escaped several
miles west of here.
This fellow thinks that by cross
breeding him with another species
of turkey he will be able to pro-
duce larger and better birds than
ever before, and he has offered a
$500 reward for his return. I
heard about it in town today, just
after Old Simmons turned me
down again. I had thought
Thanksgiving might have softened
his heart, but now we'll have
plenty Of money to buy see and
we'll show 'em."
And Old Turk ate fine Thanks
giving dinner. Of choice kernels of
corn the next day, right in the
dining room with the Holmeses as
they Toasted on q lesser species Of
his noble race.

And nowadays Bobby didn't loaf

A GOOD HARVEST
The Pilgrim fathers were the
first to proclaim a day to offer
thanks for the mercieS of the
closing year. On September 6,
1920, a group Of English colonists
numbering about 100 men, women
and children, sailed from Plymouth
to settle in Massachusetts,. They
landed in Cape Cod Bay on De-
cember 81 of that year.
Near the close of the next year,
1921, Governor Bradford set
apart a day for Thanksgiving in
order to thank Providence for the
good harvest of the Pilgrims. The
day has been observed ever since,
and in New England it has long
ranked as the great annual festi-
val. Until we meet tomorrow in

Right now Mr.. Beckstrand is
just beginning three busy seasons.
One, the dyeing season, runs
through September, October and =
November, 1t is in these autumn
months that his customers have
heir white shoes dyed for the
new season, or any colored shoes
changed to suit new styles. Royal
and navy blue, wine, dark, med
ium and light brown, tan, light
and dark grey and green, are
among the colors on his dye
shelf. College girls can have their
slippers made gold and silver for
formal dancing parties at his
shop, too.
Last year he and his helper
dyed between 20 and 80 pairs of
hoes a night during the season.
Another season just starting is
that of installing cleats on foot
ball shoes-a big specially at the
shOp-and the third is the ham,
mering of taps on tap-dancing
slippers. The taps come in a wide
variety of shapes and sizes for
big and little tappers.
Still another service at the
place is the refinishing and re-
dressing of bags and purses.
Invisible soling-being >adver-
tised widely by metropolitan shoe
rebuilders now-haS been featur-
ed by the Beckstrand shop for
five years. It's quite a thing, re-
soling of shoes without the tin
lest stitch or nail being visible.
Mr.. Beckstrand says it's done with
cement and the soleS stay as we'll
as any arrayed with nails or
stitching.
Only the finest materials-K-L
feathers and Soldering rubber
heels-are used in the shop.
Mr.. Beckstrard's favorite hob
by is his fine Notwithstanding
his son Edward who used to as
sist him in the shop, graduated
from Manchester college in juno
and has a position as band dir
ector and history teacher in the
