MEMPHIS, Tenn, November 12— Federal officers were checking clues last night in a search for bombers who slung llmnme two Government motor boats in liquor raids, wrecked them wlm dynamite and dashed up the river under cover of fog. Whatever the officers had learned they kept secret. Finiss Wilson, deputy Dmhihluon ad- ministrator here, said he accepted the bombing as a challenge from moon- shiners and rum runners, and “since they have asked for war, .hey will get plenty of it.” ‘The motor boats, No. 647, Treasury Department, and No. 3305, customs registry, were demolished. Nearby craft were damaged. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Busby, who live in a houseboat anchored nea:r the raiders, were stunned by the blast. Mrs. Bushy sald she heard a motor boat speeu up the river a few minutes befora the blast shook their home. One of the boats was a 32-foot cruiser, captured from rum runners and pressed into Government service. ‘The other was 26 feet. It was sold by the Government a few days ago. A Government motor boat and two others captured from rum runners were dynamited a year &go. “HAPPIEST” BABY WILL BE SELECTED Youngsters From 1 to 4 to Vie Daily at District Grocery So- ciety Food Show. A baby contest in which youngsters from 1 to 4 years of age will vie for the distinction of being the “happiest” baby will be a daily feature of the Dis- trict Grocery Society Food Show, which opens tomorrow in the Washington Au- ditorium for a 10-day run. Other contests of the exposition will be staged only once, but the baby com- petition will be a matinee event. The audience will be the judge, and as each tot-is introduced en the stage, the spectators will signify by applause their choice for first honors. A present of $2.50 in gold will be.given to each day's ‘winner. On the basis of previous years’ shows, between 40 amd 50 babies will be entered in each day's contest. Most of them will be laughing, but many will be cry- ing, if last year’s performances are a criterion, so some of the mothers prob- ably will follow the tactics they adopted in the former show: if baby cries one day, they'll enter him in the contest the following day—if he’s in a better humor. ‘The Auditorium doors will open daily, except tomorrow, at 2 p.m. and the baby contest will be each afternoon at 3 o'clock. The afternoon session will close at 5 o'clock, while the evening ex- position will continue from 7:30 to 10 o'clock. Tomorrow, opening day, there will be only the evening session.
