...done. Automobiles are needed, as well as a thorough knowledge of police operations and an acquaintance with back roads. Old storage plants make excellent hideaways, of which several are often necessary if the chase becomes hot. Such an organization can be formidable. The U. S. President himself set two Secret Service agents on guard over his grand-children-"Sistie" & "Buzzie" Dall and Sara Roosevelt-at Little Boars Head and Rye Beach, N. H. when an unparalleled "wave" of abductions, three major kidnappings and half a dozen attempted ones, burst violently into the news last week. Swindler. Three weeks...
...more than their legal quotas outside the state. This "hot oil," it was estimated, represented about one-fifth of the entire daily production of petroleum-enough to nullify any agreement between honest men to hold down output, stabilize prices. In violation of local proration regulations it was smuggled by secret pipe lines, shipped across state lines in regular tank cars. It was mixed with legitimately produced oil at refineries. Real enforcement of state quota laws required nothing less than guardsmen with fixed bayonets as Oklahoma and Texas discovered. Last week President Roosevelt stepped firmly into the "hot oil" situation. Under...
...Otto W. Lehman (former owner of The Fair department store). The names of the other 36 marked men were withheld by police. Politicians. Beer drenched and politics complicated another major kidnapping of the week. For four days the relatives of John J.

Uncles Edward & Daniel are the unchallenged bosses of Albany, control New York's most potent upstate Democratic machine. "Butch," 24, onetime school...

His F 1.3 lens is the fastest used, excepting only the cinema's F 1.4. His little Contax special cost him $225 (the lens alone $170), a telephoto attachment to catch long-distance candid shots $80 more. He has a right angle telescope-finder to snap people while they think he is snapping someone else...
Star witness was one William Harrison Haight Jr., 19-year-old student and R. O. T. C. member, who said he had been hired by the U. S. Secret Service to smell out Communism in the University. He had found none in classrooms, but could and did point his finger at 18 students who belonged to the Communistic John Reed Club and the National Student League. Spying on their meetings, he had discerned a trend toward violent revolution at some distant date. But, said he, members rarely mentioned that subject. Their chief interest seemed to be in abolishing...
