DR.. WESTRICH IS
INVESTIGATED

New York, Aug. 2(UP)-The
state department and other branches
of the federal government are pre-
pairing complete files on DR.. Ger
hardt Alois Westrick, special Nazi
emissary to American business, it
was learned today following disclos-
ures that prominent industrialists
had been visitors to>his rented home
at Scarsdale, N. Y.
Material gathered in separate in
vestigations by the departments
eventually will be consolidated, it was
said.
District Attorney Thomas E. Dew
ey, meanwhile, prepared to step into
the case at the request of Carroll E.
Mealey, director of the state motor
vehicle bureau. Mealey revoked DR..
Westrick's license because the Ger

reau of change of address. Mealey
asked the district attorney to look
into reports DR.. Westrick had a
wooden leg and had falsely sworn he
was not disabled when he took out a

Paffney Fined 500
On Liquor Complaint
Prosecutor Galullo Scores Chapel Street Address as
Scene of Frequent Violations of Law

Number 20 Chapel street., the
scene of many raids by state police
and local vice squad officers, was
called a "sore trial and tribulation"
by Prosecuting Attorney Michael j.
Galullo in city court today where
Arthur Paffney, 40, of that address
was fined 500 and costs on charge
OF selling liquor without a permit.
Implying that the ''Paffney name
has become associated with liquor
in local circles to almost the same
extent as Haig g. Haig or Seagrams
Mr.. Galullo said that the frequent
violations, which have resulted in
the arrest of several members of the
family in the past, must come to an
end. He then demanded the maxi

mum penalty, which was granted by
Judge John L. Gaffney.
''The. Paffneys must realize that
they cannot continue these viola
tions," said the prosecutor. "Num-
Der 20 Chapel street is a sore trial
to the state ploice, the local police
and my Office"
Another Paffney, Frank, 26, of the
same address, was discharged on the
ground that there was insufficient
evidence that he kept liquor with in
tent to sell. Judge Gaffney called
the elder Paffney's violation "unfor-
giveable," however, in view of the
frequent warnings received by the
family.
Evidence for the arrest was OBJ
tanned by State Troopers Anton Mel
son and George Dunn, who testified
they drank several bers at 20 Chapel
street on May 20. The arerst was
made July %.
Frequently in the news last year
was Mary Paffney, of 20 Chapel
street, who was arrested at least two
times on liquor charges, and was
worned by the presiding judge.
On motion of Defense Attorney
Michael Ciano, Paffney today wa.

Mrs. housewife can purchase more
of these extra fresh snap beans for
less money right now than at any
other season. Restaurant chefs are
buying them in quantity lots and
featuring them on their daily menus
thereby making a hit with their
customers by dishing out large serv-

in wholesale quantities and preserv-
ing them for next winter. (Snap
beans have become almost as pop
ular with home Gamers in recent
years as tomatoes, peaches and
pears.) Stamp Plan cities in the
Northeast are offering snap beans
on their surplus food list just at
present. All of which goes to show
why snap beans are now at the top
of the list among food bargains.
Native Products
Some of the other fresh native
products which are almost as at

right now are cabbage, beets, car
rots, celery, summer squash and
sweet corn. All of thees are about

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, Sept 1e. The
Cleveland Indians, again enjoying
the slender security of a one-half
game lead over the Detroit Tigers,
conclude their 1910 business with the
Senators here today and can expect
Just as much fight as they got yes
terday.
Every game from here on is a po-
tential gold mine for the unhappy
but efficient Oscar Witt, but the
Senators have more than a passing
interest in their 10 remaining con-
tests, too.
Yesterdays double defeat from
the surging Indians, 3 to /, and 2
to /, cast serious shadow on the
Senators hope for a sixth-place
berth at the seasons close. Since
early in the spring that spot has
been reserved for the Senators and
they don't want to be denied that
paltr satisfaction for a season toll.
Leonard Will Pitch.
The st. Louis Browns now lead
Washington by IL games for the
dubious honor of ending sixth. To be
beaten out by the Browns would
represent fate worse than the
minors to Clark Grifith's hired
hands. Because of that and because
Of the intense rivalry between these
two clubs, you can look for another
killer diller on the Cleveland cam
pus today.
Dutch Leonard is going to do the
pitching against Al Smith and this
battle between veteran opponents of
the ghostly pitch should be worth
paying to see.
There perhaps have been no
sterner struggles this season than
the pair Of games lost to the Indians
yesterday. 1t was old-fashioned
baseball at it's very best, with the
accent on pitching and sparkling
work afield.
Ken Chase Is Wild.
Ken Chase blew the first game to
Johnny Allen through an old fault
OF his, wildness. The Indians filled
the bases in the second inning and
Chase then became a victim of his
own altruism. He walked three
more men before the CHASTITY chap
ter was done and each walk meant
run.
