Some of the letters. it was
learned, involve tax matters from
Washington and the nearby area
At least one anonymous telephone
call has been received by the SUBJ
committee regarding one Wash
ington case.
So far, very few of these leads
have been looked into since the
subcommittee. with a small staff

scandals elsewhere.
1t was indicated. however, that
any promising leads will be fully
explored and a field investigation

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The British
Association of Women With Large
Feet" reported today it is becom-
ing a power in the land under a
new name: "The Association of
Tall Women"
Long-stemmed ladies through
out the United Kingdom are join
ing up at the rate of so a week.
Dress manufacturers have has
tened to heed the association S
dictum that big girls can't wear
frocks styled for the average
dumpy doll Of five feet three.
Shoemakers who hitherto spe-
cialized in footwear for the feet
of police and postmen have hur-
ried into production with line
of outsized women's wear.
1--WE have even." the associa-
ton said in a statement to the
press, found a small man who
makes long beds for tall people !"
It was not always thus.
The association was founded two
years ago by a group of gangling
girls in Skipton. It languished for
a year and half. There was
something about the title women
with large feet" which did not
seem to appeal.
All this altered with the change
of name and the decision to admit
all women who are five feet eight
or taller, and never mind the
shoe size. There was a rush of
new members.
1T must be remembered" the
association explained, that tall
women have a slightly exagger-
Iated sense of dignity"

has worked wonders.
The association still has one

 Alias Nick BeaI' at 2Oth Century

One of movieland's most diabolic- ally fascinating men is holding audi ences spellbound at the 20th Century Theatre. He is portrayed by Ray Midland. who has the title role in Paramount's mystery thriller, Alias Nick Beal." Midland has made this devilish Beal a magnet to everyone who seeks thrilling and suspenseful entertainment. He is aided and abetted by tense dramatic situations and an unusual kind of excitement provided by the off-the- beaten path story. Gorgeous Audrey Totter and Thomas Mitchell are Milland's co-stars and the people who suffer most at his sinister hands.
 The films exciting action rises and ends in the shadowy mists of a lowly waterfront dive in major city. In between, three oddly con- trasted individuals weave the story together. The plot concerns the machinations of a wicked but ir- resistible man who infects with evil everyone who crosses his path.

It is Dr. Robert Phillips now, and his father, A. B. Phillips can vouch for Bob's graduation from Stanford and his receipt of a hard-earned M. D. degree.
 MT. and Mrs. Phillips and their daughter Kathleen Ann returned Thursday from a trip to Calif- ornia, main object of which was to be present at young Roberts graduation from Stanford's med ical college.
 With former governor George A. Parks as passenger, Phillips drove to California by the coast route to allow camera lobbyist Parks to take pictures of the ocean. But much fog and no sun resulted in no ocean pictures. Mrs. Phillips and Kathleen Ann were United Airline passengers from Seattle to San Francisco.
 The Phillips visited friends along the way, including MT. and Mrs. Jack Hilliard, former Alas kans in San Leandro. On their return to Seattle they were guests of MT. and Mrs J. 0. Moe, Mrs. Phillips parents.
 Young pr. Phillips is assistant resident physician at Bakersfield, Calf.

 NgiLIiOasS) Held ia Berlin

BERLIN, Aug. ', - R L Easl Berlin was jammed with Com munist youth today for a world peace festival whose main theme was hatred of the United States and loyalty to RuSsia's Prime Minister Stalin.
 The tone for the $10,000,000 celebration was set yesterday in fiery speeches at the opening Hitler-style rally by East Ger many's Communist President Will helm Pieck.
 About 80,000 blue-shirted young Communists crowded a sports ar ena in the Russian sector to hear him denounce the "American-Eng- lishe warmakers." Tn response, the youngsters roared lustily:
 Long live the Soviet Union, which gives the great example of peaceful construction to the peo- ples."
 Officials claimed that 100000 youths would take part ifi the show, but admitted that only 240,- 000 were on hand in the city yes terday. All but 10000 of these were from Russian-occupied East Ger many.
 The peace festival had to do do without Traude Eisenkold, beautiful 19-year old blonde, who had been slated to queen the pro- ceedings.
 After a big buildup as the ideal progressive woman," Traude fled to the west and told reporters:
 "I'd rather pound a typewrite, even scrub floors, in the west than be a Communist glamor girl in the east"

ordinary-looking men. The victims usually
got glimpse of the license numbers. 1t was
an exceedingly good imitation and the sheriff
admired Mr. Derringen's craftsmanship. He
found the man an interesting study - COM
petent man who had stepped over the
criminal line with no qualms, simply because
he couldn't resist bargain. And he seemed
to have one: profits high risks low.
Mr.. LAWRENCE DERRINcEN bore a strong
resemblance to the motors he manufactured.
He was compact, chunky, and put together
with great economy. His hair was as thin
as coat of paint. His features were good
but didn't occupy as much of the face as
usual, his eyebrows looked as if they stopped
at the minimum width. The self-satisfed
mouth was small, the teeth were white and
regular, but again, the small size.
In the matter of self-confdence he was again
like his motors i he had blind, mechanl-
cal self-ass,mance and he had clearly classified
the sheriff and Shull as couple of earnest
ruhe COPS, more to be placated then feared. 1t
was low opinion he was about to see verified

What did they have to contributed"
The big sheriff looked hurt. Il called them.
Talked to sergeant in the Hijacking Detail.
Told him, Sergeant, want to hear the MO
of about five of your top Chicago hijacking
outfits You know what MO is?"
follows: "A term they've been using to death
in radio crime stories, meaning criminals
modus operandi, supposed to help identify
him. A hifalutin' term for How the guy
works. which is useful to know unless he
works just like anybody else" He was sur
prised to hear his boss using it, but Shull was
going to hear good deal that surprised him.
Mr. Derringen said yes, he had heard the
term, why?
The sheriff looked cagey.
Because I'm going to describe the MO of
a certain mob" he said, land you see if any
Mr. Derringen looked blank.
mo reason you should know them," the
sheriff said kindly. Though they're GER
tainly not beginners. Now, most hijackers
work hit or miss. Truckload of liquor one
night, television sets the next. But the
Bogans-when they hit something good. they
work it like vein of coal. Wait. now. Didn't
some of your hijackers wear glasses?"
Il believe they did, one or two" MIR.
Derringen had been mildly proud of that
touch as adding yersimilitude.
''It was the Bogans who invented glasses,
as a disguise, mean. Item three: fake
accidents Weren't a couple of your trucks
stopped by fake accidents? Item four: Army

Derringen said he would be sure and ask.
Item five: organization. Everything goes
off like clockwork. Item six: no bloodshed.
Lemme see what else"
The sheriff consulted pad on his battered
desk. Shull would have sworn the last nota-
ton said, Get Elias shoes at rpr ship"
Tape, the sheriff said. ITO tie people up"
isn't that pretty standard?"
The sheriff was an expert, delighted at
layman's question. That's just it. The last
job the Bogans did, they didn't use tape.
Know what they used instead? Binder twine."
He leaned back looking as proud as if he had
invented binder twine, the Bogans, and pos
sibly the Mccormick reaper.
Mr. DERRNGEN had begun this session look
ing family amused at this hick cops pride in
his big-city connections, and the sheriffs
obvious delight in brushing elbows. even
vaguely, with big-time felons. But now MIR.
Derringen, too was looking shrewd, little
as if naive supplier had offered him copper
for the price of tin.
you sound as if you've got something"
Nothing open and shut, ;" the sheriff said
modestly. "It may not mean a thing. But
it's mighty interesting. Here's something else,
the Bogans' way of tying people up. They
cross mans wrists palms up tie his wrists,
and then his thumbs. Well, without your
thumbs, you're helpless. I think there's some
thing else" He consulted his pad again.
Behind Mr.. Derringen's back, Ed Shull had
ut his wrists together in the manner the
sheriff described, his thumbs tightly locked.
Now he fished in his shirt pocket for
cigarette, was able to get a match and light
it. The helpless man tipped his hat to the
sheriff The sheriff ignored him.
Lanterns" he said. THE Bogans flag
down victim with lanterns instead of flash
lights, looks more innocent. So there it is.
For man who had just built a structure
of few real points of similarity, all pretty
general. and several entirely speculative ones,
the sheriff looked extremely well satisfied.
Then he frowned portentously.
