official, once a trusted member OF
the Metropolitan Police Force, Maj.
Kelly refused to answer the CUES
ton directly but said:
"We1l leave no stone unturned in
the investigation"
Asked if that meant the police
would investigate the possibility that
the captain was a victim OF a plot,
the major said:
"of course. We investigate all
angles"
Police had not completed the
check of shortages in funds under
the control of Capt. Beall at noon
today, but indicated the final sum
would be around $4,000"
An investigation has been made as
to the possibility that the captain
may have had assistance IN the
placing of racing bets. but police
have come to the conclusion that
none of the members of the depart

Police officials pointed out that
Capt. Beall preferred to operate
strictly on his own.
Another late development in the
case was the indication today that
Capt. Bean had invented quiz

Theory Of Foul Play
In Disappearance Of
Capt. BeaI| Studied
Police Officers Refusal
To Answer Mysterious
Phone Call Revealed

Police today were exploring the
possibility that Capt. Lawrence
R. Beall, missing since Friday
night and wanted on embezzle-
ment charges, may have been the
victim of foul play in connection
with allegedly extensive race
horse gambling.
While no official comment could be
elected from officials concerning the
latest angles to their investigation of
the disappearance of the 46-year-old
property clerk, a loose fitting chain
of circumstances led to speculation
by police of the following significant
features of the case:
l. Capt. Beall received and refused
to answer mysterious telephone
call while working at his office
Friday night.
2. He is known to have been, &C
cording to police, "rabid race horse
bettor."
8. He was in debt.
Extension Number Asked.
The Friday night telephone call,
on which certain observers place
high Importance, had investigators
bafied today. The call came
through to the Municipal Center
telephone operator between 8 and
epm. ~
A voice asked for Capt. Beal's
extension number, instead OF asking
for the captain by name. The op-
orator rang the extension several
times on the insistence of the un-
known party and each time Capt.
Beall's receiver was disconnected,
breaking the call.
Finally the operator talked to
Capt. Bean on the telephone and
reminded him that man insisted
on speaking to him..
Capt. Beall said:
'I don't want to speak to any one.
No one knows I am here except my
WIFE,"
Investigation Pushed.
Commenting on this phase OF the
case, Maj. Edward j. Kelly, super
intendent of police, observed:
"It is odd that person, not know
ing Capt. Beau well, would call him
by the extension number instead of
by name"

Laundries and Cleaners
Must Use Old Equipment

Laundry and dry cleaning plants
probably will have to operate for
the duration without any new equip
ment.
The War Production Board made
It clear, in an announcement today
that materials for such equipment
must be allocated to war-essential
users, because of increased demands
from the armed services and NUM-
tions plants.
The chances are. said WPB, that
an application of plant merely
for expansion because Of 'udden
upsurge of business, not reinforced by
heavy defense considerations, will
be denied"
"Our approach to the situation
generally" it added, "is that there
will be no raw material available
for new laundry machinery until
the end of the war; that if existing
new and used equipment is judici-
ously allocated and carefully hus-
banded, there will be enough to &C
around; that two and three-shift
operations must be encouraged ir
lieu of new equipment: that the
operative and unfit operator

Warren Is Nominated
For Governor by
California COP
Running as Democrat
Also, He Trails Olson
By Small Margin
By the Associated Press.

B. the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-Earl
Warren, a leading figure among
California Republicans, won the
COP nomination for Governor and
also gave Gov. Culbert L. Olson a
hot battle for the Democratic nomi-
nation in yesterdays primary.
Mr.. Warren, running on both
tickets, polled an aggregate OF
nearly twice as many votes as Gov.
Olson, whose name appeared only
on the Democratic ballot.
Five Congress members, whose
voting records on defense and
foreign policy measures drew cam
paign fire from opponents, were
leading widely in their own party
contests for denomination and also
were outdistancing their opponents
in cross-party races.
Mr.. Warren, who termed the pri-
mary results eloquent evidence that
the people will not stand for
another four years of Olsonism," !"
polled 1859 votes in 7,759 out OF
14,438 precincts in the Democratic
race for Governor, while Gov. Olson
got 226,545.
Warren Predicts Victory.
On the Republican ticket Mr..
Warren drew 225,375 in 7,453 pre-
cincts. He asserted the results made
it appear reasonably certain that
he would be elected Governor In No
vember. He pledged support to
President Roosevelt in furthering
the war effort and said he would
clear California of pickering and
bungling" and would build an ade-
quate civilian defense.
Gov. Olson in a statement said
it appeared that 100000 Demo-
Gratis failed to vote in the primary
and predicted a Democratic victory
in the November election. He as
serted that conclusions based on
the totals would be misleading and
said polls had indicated 25 per cent
of the Republicans intended to
vote for him.
Representatives Rolph, Engle-
bright, Carter and Welch, Repub-
licans, and Tolan, Democrat, chair
man of the House Defense Migration
Committee, APPARENTLY were winning
their own party nominations. Each
had a lead also in the contests In
their oposition party races.

who defended his votes against the
fortifcation of Guam and against
renewal of reciprocal trade treaties

fire of controversy stirred up by said

with demands for congressional in
vestigation and investigation by the

These chains, having plenty of Incl
dents in their operating records which

Dies and His Kind of Thing

Dies and His Kind of Thing
The next congress is going to see
some pretty serious attempts by the
appeaser coalition of reactionary re-
publicans and democrats to nullify de-
mocracy in the United States, and to
put every obstacle its members can
think Of in the way of successful pros
ecution of the war. Every possible
opportunity will be taken to obstruct,
to distort, to raise false issues. We've
had plenty of previews and indications
of some of the ways this will be done.
Here are some that may have escaped
your attention.
(Note: The poll-tax filibuster, oil
and rubber and general rationing re-
volt, and other anti-war antics in
congress have to some extent
aroused the indignation of the peo-
pie and their organizations. By
their very brazenness the forces of
reaction are rousing forces of prog
ress With full consciousness of the
need for defeat of our enemies at

Axis; with constant hard work of
organizing for their defeat; they
can be licked. This letter will from

issues faced in this fight and what

Dies and Appropriations
George Rothwell Brown, Hearts po-
litical columnist, who is very close to

the obstructionist, anti-administration
tactics to be used. The idea is to
give a Dies list of government en-
ployees to the subcommittee of the
house appropriations committee; the
committees would then write into
every appropriation for government
departments condition that none of
the moneys so appropriated may be
paid for such and such individuals
With this obstructionist tao
tic, the poll-taxers hope, they will be
able to create such confusion that the
work of administration will be para
Iyzed. Hitler will love that

SHORTAGE OF
MECHANICS In
AGRICUL TURE

Already serious in some sections
and threatening in others, a shortage
OF mechanics trained to repair and
service farm equipment, tractors, and
farm trucks and cars, endangers the
nations huge Food for Freedom pro-
gram. Mechanics, like farm workers,
have been drafted, have enlisted, and
have moved into war industry where
their skill has brought them high-pay-
ing jobs.
These mechanics cannot be brought
back to their old jobs, any more than
farm workers can be returned to tina
farms Thus, the problem is dual
one-of fitting new men for these jobs
which are so essential to agriculture,
and of hating the flow of men from
garages, welding shops, and other
firms doing farm repair work.
The first part of the problem ap-
pears to have gained little recognition
in Washington. Thousands of men
are training as mechanics, but with
the intention Of stepping into high
paying jobs making planes, ships,
guns, ammunition and the other weap-
ons of war. There is a growing feel
ing among farm leaders in Washing
ton that the government should imme-

as do the mechanical military forces.
