RACKET PROBERS POISED T0 STRIKE Job of Chief Investigator Unfilled, However, as Drive Nears. By the Associated Precs. NEW YORK, Juiy 27—~Gotham’s racket-smashing machine wus tuned tonight for what promised to become the city’s greatest crime hunt, but the job of chief investigator, spearhead for the assault on vice, gambling and extortion, was going begging. His choice limited among less than & dozen men and all of them in the Federal service, Thomas E. Dewey, 33- year-old prosecutor extraordinary, had been unable to persuade one to take the $7,500-a-year post for the sweep- ing probe to open Monday. $10,000 Salary Sought. He was determined to ask Mayor P. H. La Guardia and the budget di- rector to boost the pay to $10,000, hoping the extra compensation would attract the man he wants, probably from the Intelligence Unit of the Treasury’s Division of Internal Rev- enue. Known to be among Dewey’s first | choices were Elmer Irey, head of the unit in Washington; E. A. Palmer of Atlanta, Ga., who built up successfu! policy racket prosecutions here in 1931, and Frank Wilson, an agent whe helped to convict Al Capone in Chi- cago. All of them refused the $7,50. | Job. | Dewey built up his entire organiza tion with the objective of creatin; | absolute independence of politician some of whom may become the chie targets of his inquiry. He has avowe | himself uninterested in the “sma | fry” of New York's crime, but want to make this a “big shot” drive. Drive Opens Smoothly. Except for being balked in obtainin his chief investigator, Dewey’s prc liminary drive rolled along smoothly Headquarters were opened in | 1arge office building—where the norma | corridor trafic will be sufficiently heavy to prevent witnesses called to the office from being observed. Special | “tamper-proof” telephone lines anc | switchboards were installed. New York's Republican-Fusionist | mayor threw the weight of his office | behind the drive and the Police De- | partment created s picked squad of investigators—designated as “X men —to aid Dewey’s own corps of sleuths Requirements Lifted. ‘The State Civil Service Commission. acting on the district attorney’s re- quest, lifted all civil service require- ments for the investigation personne! | —to give Dewey a free hand in hiring | and dismissing. Supreme Court Justice Philip J. | McCook, designated by the Governor, | will convene an extraordinary term on Monday and impanel the grand jury which will probe the underworld, and particularly its alliance, if any exists, with politicians and office holders. | The grand jury, its tenure unlimited, | is expected to continue two years. _— PAINTING LOST 41 YEARS FOUND BY UNIVERSITY Creighton Officials Discover Art Work Stored in Attie—Will Rehang It By the Assoclated Press. OMAHA, Nebr., July 27—Creigh- ton University officials yesterday hung | in their law library & valuable paint- ing, given them in 1894, which was | found only a few days ago after it had been “lost” for 41 years In an attic. The painting is “Autumn” by Dwight Frederic Boyden, which in 1892, won second prize in an inter- national art exhibition at Munich, | Germany. It was purchased for | $3,500 and given to the university by a friend of the school. Members of the university faculty are attempting to trace the dono through the artist, now 72 years old who is thought to be living in Bos- ton, Mass. Herlow Holden, building superin tendent, discovered the painting r few days ago while storing othe articles in the attic. Boy Convicted GETS FIVE YEARS FOR KILLING SCHOOLMATE. Convicted of wvoluntary man- slaughter for killing his school- mate, freckle-faced 11-year-old George Snow (lower) was sentenced to serve five years In reform school. The youth was tried at Wartburg, Tenn, for fatally stabbing Johnnie Holt, 16. Young Snow said that | he stabbed his schoolmate after | the latter had thrown rocks at him, but Rosa Holt (upper), sister of the slain boy and the State’s only eye-witness, testified that George had attacked them from ambush. —A.
