Vandenberg, Republi- can, of Michigan, and Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher, frequently mentioned as Republican presiden- tial possibilities, were under one roof tonight, and the politically minded were skeptical of protestations that the occasions was purely social. That skepticism was enhanced by the fact that* it was George F. Getz of Chicago, treasurer of the Repub- lican National Committee, who brought them together at his Summer home, near here. There have been persistent rumors that Col. Knox has lined up some strong support, but Senator Vanden- berg has discouraged the friends who have offered quietly to attempt to round up delegates for him. Senator Vandenberg, who has been resting at the Getz Summer home since Congress adjourned, was host at an informal party tonight. Getz, Col. Knox and several prominent Michigan Republicans were among the guests. The Senator denied that the gath- described his meeting with Col. Knox | as no more than a reunion of two personal friends and former Grand Michigan politicians had no hopes that a formal announcement of plans would follow any conference held over the week end. They did predict, however, that a definite understanding between the two would be reached Chicago. Senator and Mrs. Vandenberg ex- pect to leave for a short European tour in about 10 days.

Grabbing the assailant suddenly by the arm, the agent gave a quick wrench that sent the gun-‘oler sprawling in one direction and his pistol skidding in another. “Not so bad,” commented a fourth man, who, incidentally, was attived like the struggling trio—in athletic shorts. “Try that over again, and put a little more twist into that right | arm—Ilike this.” i ‘Whereupon the jiu jitsu instructor of the F. B. I “Criminology College” proceeded to demonstrate on another agent the Oriental art of disarming and capturing a criminal.

CHICAGO, August 31.—Cheerful James Farley, ending his vacation Jaunt in Hawaii, listed two causes for his personal rejoicing today before he | boarded a home-bound train for New York. They were. in his own words: | 1. “No matter who the Republicans put up in 1936, Mr. Roosevelt will beat him. 2. “Reports for July and August indicate my department (he's Post- master General), may do as much as | $30,000,000 more business this fiscal year than last, and last year’s business was $41,000,000 over the year before.” With Mrs. Farley and Ambrose | O'Connell, his executive assistant, the | Postmaster tarried only a few hours | between trains here. He parried most questions on recent political develop- ments with a terse “no comment.” But he noticed “no swing” from Roosevelt. That's just “the bunk,” he said. “I have been in 18 or more States since leaving Washington and I find | the sentiment for President Roosevelt | the same as it always has been. | “The people know the President has | been working for them and the Post | Office Department business indicates clearly that business is on the mend | all over the country.” 400 SONS OF LEGION EXPECTED AT OUTING Samuel Davids of Squadron 13| Will Be in Charge of Trip Down Potomac.

In what is described as “one of the most satisfactory” months in its history, the corporation counsel's of- fice at Police Court secured 26 con- victions and 53 pleas of guilty to ma- jor traffic charges in jury court dur- ing August. The record was one not even approached in the past several years and was attributed largely to the de- sire on the part of juries and prose- cutors to co-operate with the Police Deparment in its drive against traf- fic offenses which have resulted in a steady increase in the traffic mortal- ity rate. While the number of convictions was considered unusually favorable, there having been only nine acquit- tals, the most pleasing record to offi- cials of the court were the 53 per- sons who changed their pleas to guilty. The charges allowed Judge Gus A. Schuldt to pronounce sen- “unlimited discretion” in spending the money for the advancement of human welfare. The will has been contested by a brother of Miss Hall. Meanwhile, Morgan casts about for a suitable place for the money, should the will be upheld. He is shown in his office. —A. P. Photo.

One of his closest friends and ad- | visers who on occasions has been au- thorized to issue press statements for Mr. Hoover said: “We regard the story as the usual fabrication—the product of an extraor- dinary alliance between some old guard elements and certain persons who are hoping Mr. Hoover will issue some such statement. “It amounts to only a rehash of previously discounted sad discredited stories on which Mr. Hoover declined to comment.” He said that without authorization he could not permit his name to be used and added “but all of Mr. Hoo- ver's real friends know there is no foundation for the Washington re- port.” | o ot tence without the time and expense jo( Jury trials. | During the month there were only | eight cases noMe prossed in jury court and in most of these the origi- nal charges were dropped in favor of a lesser charge to which the de- | fendants agreed to plead guilty, or in | which the Government felt that it idld not have a strong case on the more serious charge.
