Is Long Hatred for Father.
Mr.. Bolt said Maurice Fox had
hated his father for almost six
years. Bitter feeling developed, Mr..
Bolt said, when Mr.. Fox allowed
another one of his sons to build
"a house on one end of the Fox,
farm. Maurice resented this and
quarreled violently with his father
on several occasions until he final
ly was sent to the insane asylum.
Other neighbors said the sons
bitterness was accentuated when
his father leased the farm to-
Capt. O'Connor although, so far
as they knew, he had never quar-
relied with the pilot.
Capt. O'Connor had been al

Justice Department
Probes Aides Gifts
To Bosone Campaign
By George Beveridee

vestigating whether 1850 cam
paign contributions by two em-
ployes of Representative Reva
Beck Bosone, Democrat, of Utah,
were accepted in violation of Fed
eral law.
Disclosure of the inquiry was
made by Justice officials after
James P. McGranery, sworn in
yesterday as Attorney General,
was asked about the matter at
his first press conference. Mr..
McGranery said he knew nothing
about the BoSone case.
Mrs. BoSone said she was re-
lieved that an inquiry has started.
If the action hadn't been taken.
she said, she would have asked
the department to bring out all
the facts.
Signed Statement.
Mrs. BoSone said she signed al
public financial statement in June,
1850, which listed contributions oil
$400 from her secretary. Miss Vir-
ginia Rishel, and $3.50 from her
Stenographer, Miss Gayle Snow.
Until that time, she said. she had
no knowledge the contributions
had been made.
It was not until last week, Mrs.
BoSone said, that she learned the
contributions were questioned ast
a possible violation of the Cor
rupt Practices Act.
She said she had thought the
act was aimed at "kickbacks and
Shakedowns," and never con-
nected it with voluntary contri-
buttons, even from employees.
It was under terms of the Cor
rupt Practices Act that Represent
ative Brehm. Republican, of Ohio,
was convicted last year Of taking
contributions from a woman en-
ploye.
Conference Planned.
Meanwhile, the next move to-
ward conference between Mr..
McGranery and a House Subconl-
mittee investigating the Justice
Department apparently will be up
to the investigators:
Members of the House group,
headed by Representative Chelf,
Democrat, Of Kentucky said they
want to discuss troubles they had
getting to department files. Mr..
McGranery told reporters the files
would be turned over if the COM
mittee can give him good reasons
why it should have them.
Vanech Defended.
In another development, House
Majority Leader Mccormack ac-
cused subcommittee members of
attempting to smear Deputy At
torney General A. Devil Vanech.
The House investigators have
held closed hearings to question:
Mr.. Vanech about his legal quail
f1cations. The group released Sc
cret testimony showing Mr.. Van +
ech failed at least three bar ex-
aminationS before he passed the
Tennessee bar test in 1910. Ques-
tions centered on q requirement I
Of Tennessee law that non resi-
dents must certify they intend to
live annd practice law in the State.
In a House speech, Mr.. McCor-
mack said some people seem to
think its wrong for people without
extensive schooling to try to be-
come lawyers. He added:
"Sure, Mr.. Vanech took the bar
examination two or three times
and failed to pass. I'd like to
know when in America it has te-
come crime for anybody to rise
up without college education?
Reflections have been made on
Mr.. Vanech for taking the bar ex-
animation in Tennessee. That's
something for Tennessee to pass
on. An effort is being made to-
day to pull this man down. n.
think it is small stuff to try to in
jure and destroy a man under
these circumstances"

NelUs From, South
Comes to Us
Via Mrs. Hedly
June 2, 1862


Dear Mrs. Healy:
Ever since you started your col
umn several weeks ago have
wanted to write you note and tell
you how much we enjoy it. We have
really missed the Grove news dur
ing the past few years. AS you
may remember, l wrote it for five
or six years before we left the
Grove six years ago.
We are real Floridians now and
can't conceive of living any other
place. This country really grows on
you. 1t is very different from Mary
land. Instead of having those nice
green rolling hills and dairy farms
as you have in Montgomery County,
we have pretty fiat land with lots
OF scrub pine, oak and palmetto.
But then when you come across
ore of the lakes (of which they
arc thousands all over the state) or
river, or even cypress swamp with
water birds, wading cranes, ETC., it
is worth it. Then too, we are about
50 minutes from New Smyrna -
which has driving beach just like
the more popular Daytona. We
spent yesterday over there, went
fishing and grabbing, ate a picnic
lunch and just loafed around the
beach.
Our daughter Betty, who was a
good friend of Dotty Muir, Janet
Pray, the Crockett sisters, Helen
Jackson and Dolly Becraft, COM
pletes her first year at the Uni
versity of Florida this weekend.
She will be home for about ten
days and then plans to go to sum-
mer school to complete her last two
general courses, so she can go right
into her elementary education sub
jects in September.
Bobby is completing his fresh
man year at high school, and went
out for football during the past
season. He plans on football and
baseball both next year and is look
ing forward to the football train
irg which starts in August. He
also has several odd jobs which
help to build up the fund with which
he plans to buy jalopy this fall.

Recreation time is here again!
Monday morning (June 23) at
1000 am. Mothers may send
their darlings to the Auditorium
for activities under the direction OF
Miss Peggy Swami and her friend
Gera Lee Crockett. This super
vision will extend for 10 weeks.
For the benefit of those are not
familiar with the recreation set
up in the Grove, it is generally
accepted custom that contributions
are gratefully received because
there is no other way to finance
the activities. Those who wish to
send a check may make it payable
to the Grove Recreation Club in
care of Phillip X. Edwards, Trea-
surer. This is appreciated be-
cause it saves Individual volunteers
the time it takes to make personal
calls.
Parents are urged to teach their
children respect for the community
buildings and the grounds adjoin-
ing them. The townspeople them
selves pay for the upkeep of these
buildings from their taxes and each
person, man woman and child
should take a personal pride in
their appearance. In the past
damage has been done by breaking
windows, playing on the stage anC
swinging on the curtains ano
breaking up chairs and benches
No one would think of doing thai
in his own home and the sam;
