engaged in bitter internal strug-
giles. The Republicans face
primary battle Monday night.
and then must meet the threat of
an Independent Republican ticket.
The Democrats are battling over
their town committee and even a
settlement of this dispute leaves
the party organization to face a
primary battle with Senator
George T. Culhane.
Failure Of the major parties to
settle their internal differences
will place the Socialists in an ex-
tremely strong position. They
could capitalize on this during the
campaign - campaign, Incl
dentally, IN which Jasper Nc
Levy will probably play an i'm
portant part. Jasper's lieutenants
will aid in campaign strategy, and
Jasper himself will be here more
than once to exhort the voters to
hock to his party's banner.

The Republican primary Mon

wake bitterness and personal
animOsity, whichever side Is vic
torious. Smoldering resentment
on the part of many toward the
party leadership came into the
open when the town committee
ignored Mayor Patrick M. Per-
RELIC and endorsed Judge Theo-
bald e. Conway for the mayor
atty nomination.
Feeling against Town Chair
man J. Warren Epson and
ether party heads has not been
limited to hackers of Mayor
Perriello. 1t has existed in many
quarters for long time, but the
primary fight has given 1t the

With all this in mind and with =: . the idea of offering c suggestion which may or may not have been thought Of, VIC wish to givo a few helpful hints.

Hiram Bingham for the latter's

Black and White Ball
Still a Possibility.
Leaving the younger set and re-
turning to the debutantes of today
there is a chance that Mrs. William
Laird Dunlop will be persuaded to
give her black and white ball after
all. At recent debutante party
Mrs. Dunlop, looking very fit and
rested, said she had almost decided
to rest on her laurels. but that the
more her friends talk about 1t the
more she thinks maybe she will give
another. Even the tacky party,
which has always been so popular
among the on-the-shelf post-debs,
may be resumed: But If the black
and white ball is given 1t probably
will come after all the Christmas
holiday parties are out of the way.
1t was suggested that this, at the
end of the debutante season, and
at the ball where every debutante
is honored, would be q good time
for the election-by the debs them
selves-of the debutante to be named
as the seasons outstanding in their
group. Already the argument over
this mythical title is raging vio-
lently-and, It's said. some of the
debutantes are becoming quite
touchy on the subject! Be that as
it may be. it sounds like good
suggestion-for who should be more
appropriate as judges of the out
standing debutante than a repre-
sentative group Of the debutantes
themselves?

F.B,l. CONTINUES
 ON KIDNAP HUNT
Slayer of Charles Mattson 2 Years Ago Object of
 Great Search

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 27.-(UP)-- Federal agents are quietly continu- ing their search for the kidnap- slayer of 10 year old Charles Fletcher Mattson, who was abducted from his Tacoma home three years ago ,to- night.
 The Federal Bureau Of Investiga- ton, proud Of it's record of solving i07 of the i0e Kidnapping cases since passage of the Lindbergh law in i032 has promised Dr. and Mrs. William W. MattSon that it will not give up until the man who stole and killed their child is convicted.
 Still unsolved also was the equally spectacular kidnap-slaying of Peter David Levine of New Rochelle, N. Y., on February 24, 1888.
 More than 23,000 suspects have been questioned In all parts of the world since Charles Madison was taken from his home on the evening of December 27, i036. Pencil sketches of the suspect as described by Charles brother, William, now 10; his sister, Muriel, now i7, and Virginia Chat field. c Seattle friend, are in the lobby of every post ofiice from Mex- leo to Canada The posters offer q ei0,000 reward for information lead- ing to the arrest and conviction Of the killer. '
 pr. Mattson remains hopeful of eventual solution Of the case. fEe has expressed implicit faith in the FDr and believes that aa the years move on chances become lncrea1inR- ly better for apprehension Of the Killer.
