L THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. MARCH 6, 1932—PART ONE. PARTIES IN ILLINOIS INBITTER FIGHTS Democrats and Republicans in Contests for Leadership Within Factions. By the Associat CHICAGO, March 5—Bitter fac- tional fights within the ranks of both, major political parties flaming from old feuds and intensified by newer rival- ries, mark the Illinois primary cam- paign which goes into its final drive tomorrow Overshadowing the Demc bernatorial contest is the struggle for State organization leadership between Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chi National Committeeman M Igoe. Both were lieutenents of the late George E. Brennan, for many years | “boss” of the party in IMnois. On ms‘ death each sought to sueceed him Leadership at Stake. Igoe himself is a candidate for the| governorship, which carries with it a vast amount of State patronage in Cook County, Cermak’s stronghold, ‘while the | Chicago mayor is sponsoring Probate Judge Henry Horner for the office. With Brennan'’s place as undisputed leader of Illinois Democracy as the spoils for the victor, these rivais are waging a rough | and ready battle whose effects may be | felt in future national councils of the party ‘There are six other Democratic can- didates, including Bruce Campbell of East St. Louis. whose support is prin- cipally down-State Neither Melvin A. Traylor nor Sen- ator James Hamilton Lewis have thus far taken part in the controversy. Len Small Runs Again. Len Small, whose once powerful ma- chine was defeated by the Republican organization headed by the incumbent Governor, Louis L. Emmerson, is at- tempting & political comeback as the party's nominee for Governor. Opposing him is Omer Custer of Galesburg, who has the support of Emmerson. Two other former Emmerson adher- ents also are candidates, Attorney Gen- eral Oscar Carlstrom, who claims Em- merson had agreed to back him in this year's race, ond William Malone, who resigned as chairman of the State Tax Commission early in the present ad-| ministration, charging the Governor | prevented him from working out vari- ous_reforms. The primary election date is April 12. 336 CLOSED BANKS PUT ON AID ELIGIBLE LIST $279,000,000 Deposits Represented by Institutions Controller Com- mends to Finance Board. By the Associated Press. J.

Of British soldiers there are 150,000 whose bodies still are missing. The American Graves Registration Service has 1,250 names of missing still upon its rolls, In 1930, 27 bodies of American soldiers were recov- | ered and identified During 1930 about 10,000 Prench sol- dier dead were recovered, 45 per cent | being identified. There were approxi- | | mately 2,000 bodies of British soldiers found, of which about 20 per cent were identified. All have been removed to war cemeteries. Verdun, the Somme and the Meuse battle areas are now being searchd thoroughly by the French ministry of pensions, and frequently the war is | brought back vividly by the publication in the French press of pathetically mea- | ger getails by which identifications may | be effected A ring “in the form of a serpent,” or with the initials “B. P."; & button with peculiar marking, or the fragment of a letter on which names still can be de- ciphered—all these are carefully gath- ered together and held for reference. A typical description published re- cently read [ “A’body on which was found a silver medal wit hthe inscrpton ‘Vrgo Car- mel’ a 10-franc gold pece and a 5- franc silver piece.” Another read: | “A soldier with an identity disk on | which can be seen the last letters of a name—Y—and the first name Antoine, Class of 1907, recruited at Tulle.” Authorities of all of the armies which fought over the fields of France are co-operating in carrying on the work of identification.
