The President's sister, back from her club meeting in Hollywood, said the same thing about her husband. Brother-in-Law Leavitt also won sympathetic support from a famed father-in-law. Santa Monica's Chief of Police Clarence Webb, whose daughter Fay is the wife of Crooner Rudy Vallee, declared: "I don't believe Leavitt's a bootlegger. I believe his story.
