Ely Postmaster Post
Untitled; Art Knutson
Returns as City Clerk
Clerk Assumes Position at
City Hall; Postmaster
Since June z.
MANY SEEK FED. JOB
No Clues to Whereabouts of
Former P. NJ. Missing
Since May %.

A. o. KnutsOn, named acting post
master after the disappearance Of Post
master Norman Brown, Tuesday morn
ing assumed his old position as city
clerk after having held the postmaster
ship since June Z, when the oath OF
Office was administered to him by In
spector Fleming.
Mr.. Knutson, rendered his resigna-
ton from the postmaStership two weeks
after he had been placed in charge of
the Ely Office and his resignation was
accepted by the department in time
TO allow him 10 assume the city clerk
ship from which he had obtained a
leave Of absence from the city council.
Up TO this writing, no inkling has
been received Of the possible successor
as postmaster. In the meantime, the
forces Of the Office, headed by Owney
Hegman who was assistant postmaster
under both Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Knut-
son, is in charge.
The recommendation of the appoint
ment of Mr.. KnutSon was made by
John P. Erickson, Democratic nation
al committeeman for Minnesota after
a conference was had in this city with
local men shortly after Postmaster
Browns Office was declared vacant by
reason of his absenting himself without
leave.
Committeeman Erickson came TO the
conclusion that Ely's city clerk would
be the proper man TO handle the affairs
of the Office in a business-like manner.
His recommendation was favorably
acted upon and the appointment be-
came effective at once.
Up to the present nothing has been
heard Of Postmaster Brown who sud-
denly staged disappearance act on
May q when he went to his home
complaining that he was not feeling
well, according to Mrs. Brown. A few
hours later, he got into his car presum-
ably 70 go 70 the bank to deposit the
daily receipts and has not been seen or
heard Of since.
An investigation of the affairs of the
Office was made by Inspectors II. j.
Fleming and Andrew Anderson. Fol-
lowing their report made to higher
authorities at St. Paul, warrant was
issued charging Brown with a shortage
of $500 in U. S. Savings Bonds.
Reports as to his whereabouts have
been flying about. These were simply

Flaws in the construction of the Com
munity Center which have caused con-
siderable concern to the city council
during past weeks have been outlined in
detail to the Miner by Ray HoefIer,
manager of the building.
Whether or not they are the fault
of the contractor, the architect, or of
the materials is a point yet to be de-
cided and one that is being pushed
vigorously by the council.
The contractor and architect on the
structure have been contacted by the
city council and as soon as they signify
their intention and set time for the
meeting of investigation the matter viii
be thoroughly gone into.
The most serious faults are in the
lobby on the main floor Here, there
is apparently settling of this entire
portion of the building The floor at
the edge Of the lobby in Railways is
cracked and there are cracks below the
first steps Of the Stairways leading to
the second floor.
Stone on the ceiling and walls at the
main entrance to the lobby is cracking.
The stone on the south wall behind
the stand, located there, is bullying out
and has drawn away from the frame
holding the glass front of the display
case set in the wall
Stone blocks at the top of the north
wall are jambing against those i'm
mediately below in several places,
cracking off the polished surface at the
point of contact. Apparently there is
a tremendous force exerted against the
top stone, with that below refusing to
give.
Several cracks and bulges can be
found in the lobby walls. There is a
diagonal crack across the southeast
corner of the wall in the library.
In room 132 off the northeast corner
of the lobby, several imperfectionS have
shown up. There is a long diagonal
crack across the south wall Of this
room. Along the base of the north wall
is a crack about six feet long and a
quarter Of an inch wide.
Some trouble has been experienced
with water seeping in between the glass

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Roger Babson in last weeks
syndicated story makes the
startling statement that the
family breadwinners of this
nation "have been sentenced
to work 100 days this year for
the public in order to meet
government spending" When
nearly a third of all the ma
tional income must go for taxes,
the thing is becoming serious
and a crisis is faced. Govern
ment spending and interference
with business is not only a tax
load of the well-to-do and has
become somewhat of a tragedy.

benes Sees Victory
For Democracy
Inevitable
Period of New Reaction
Against Authoritarian
Rule Predicted
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FIeSx.
DURHAM, N. c., April 22.-Dr.
Eduard Benes, former President of
Czecho- -Slovakia, predicted "an in
evitable and decisive victory" for the
principles of democracy In Europe
in an address prepared for delivery
here today.
DR.. Benes, a speaker on the pro-
gram Of Duke University's centen-
nial celebration, said the World War
with all its far-reaching conse-
quences, was a great step in the
progress of the characterization of
the world"
But" he added, to-day we must,
of course, admit that it was very
soon followed by a violent reaction.
This spread of all kinds of authori-
tartan regimes On the European con-
tinent is the most decisive and most
characteristic political phenomenon
of postwar Europe. -
Here and there, there may be
another democratic collapse, but on
the whole, the period of new reac-
ton of democracy against the au-
thoritarian regimes in Europe does
now approach.
To-day there is no more secret
about the real financial and eco
nomic situation of such regimes.
Economically and financially, the
relationships, in contrast with the
democratic states, use methods and
means which push them toward in
evitable downfall or violent social
and economic revolution"

Federal Judge Raps
'Third-Degree' Work
By Prosecutors
Ju!ist Also Traces
Other LeeoI Practices
To Be Frowned Upon
BY the Associated Press,

~ lDe ASSOClAteo FTeSD.
Judge John J. Parker, senior
Judge Of the United States Circuit
Courts Of Appeal, said yesterday the
use Of third degree" methods by
Government prosecutors was "un-
worthy Of the judicial system"
In an address before the Attorney
Generals Conference of United
States Attorneys, the Charlotte
IN. c. jurist said other practices
which must be frowned on were the
use of evidence obtained in viola
ton Of constitutional rights and
the "unconscionable" use Of techni-
calities to secure for the Govern
ment advantages (which the con-
sciences Of right-thinking men and
women would condemn"
The most important duty for
judges and prosecuting attorneys,
he said, Is to see that justice is done
IN the courts "and that it is done
IN such a way as to inspire the
confidence Of the public"
1t Is the duty Of the attorney for
the Government. he said, to see that
the Governments case is fairly pre-
sented, but with due regard to the
rights OF the opposing party.
Effective "streamlining" of pro-
cedure in the Wayne County Circuit
Court at Detroit was described for
the conference by Judge Ira w.
Jayne, presiding judge for that
county.
With the cooperation Of the bar,
he said. there has been a co-ordi-
mated, unified effort to apply execu-
tive power as adapted to require
ments OF the situation in the courts
affected.

Zoning Appeal Board against the
construction Of small, narrow houses
In A restricted residential areas in
the District. It was based on
houses now under construction on
Fern street between Blair road and

IA feet wide may be erected In resi-
Dental sections.
