ABANDONED BOY'S PAST REVEALED Taxi Driver Tells of Leaving Him on Doorstep—Fam- ily Boarded Child, - RY & Btaft Correspondent of The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., October 20— Detectives here today uncovered at least part of the strange past of = 3-year-oid boy who was abandoned on a doorstep Sunday with a note saying his mother was in a Washington hos- pital. Additional information was dis- closed by persons who recognized the child’s picture in the newspapers yes- terday afternoon. A taxi driver, Fred Broadbeck, volunteered the fact that he left the child on the doorstep. Other persons reported that the child had been boarding with Mr. and Mrs. John Fischer in an East Bal- timore suburb. The Fischers ex- plained the boy was brought to their home several weeks ago by a couple who sald they were Mr. and Mrs. Jos- eph Tlan. Mrs, Tlan said she knew Mrs, Fisch- er's daughter in New York and Tlan explained he was a traveling sales- man. The couple boarded the child at the Fischer home and paid the sum due every week. On Sunday, according to Fischer, Tian said his wife had gone to a Washington hospital to have a baby. Fischer said he would prefer not to | board the boy longer and Tlan ex- | plained he would make other arrange- | ments. He bundled up the boy's belongings and left with him. The taxi driver said & man gave him the child Sunday mother,” giving an address at 638 West Franklin street.

Kansas City has coined a new phrase, “ghost voters.” A ghost voter is & registered voter who does not live in the address given. His resi- dence today may even be a cemetery. The rolls here have been padded with thousands of ghost voters' names. A crusade to wipe the “ghosts” off the voting lists is under way. But while the crusade has resulted to date in the elimination of tens and twenties of names from the lists in various pre- cincts, it is doubtful that it will get or erroneous registrations off the books.

The Republicans now have only a single member of the Missouri dele- gation in the House, Dewey Short. The other 12 Representatives are all Democrats. The State has a Demo- cratic Governor and two Democratic Senators, and the State employes and officials from janitor to Governor are Democratic. Here again is a picture of tremendous odds against the Re- publicans. Only a real “hate” for Roosevelt and his New Deal could upset the Democrats here. ‘The Republicans are hopeful of picking up one congressional district, | the eleventh, and they have an out- side chance in the sixth district, de- pending probably on how strongly the Republican ticket runs in the State, | New Deal, among them the redoubt- able “Jim” Reed, who is storming up and down the country lashing Roose- | velt and his administration.

The Republican leaders continue to insist that Landon has s chance in Missourl, while the Democrats say that Roosevelt will carry the State by & quarter of a million votes. The Re- publicans figure they will get an even break in St. Louis. They , too, that Landon is strong in the rural districts of the State. It will all de- pend, they add, on what happens in Democratic Kansas City. If they can keep the Democratic lead here down to a minimum, they think they may have a chance. Kansas Oity gave Roosevelt a 78,000 lead over Hoover four years ago. Much interest centers in the guber- natorial race. And there the Repub- Mcans may have a real chance, de- pending probably on the dimensions of the Roosevelt vote. 1If Roosevelt sweeps the State he is likely to take the rest of the ticket along with him. Lioyd C. Stark of Louisiana, Mo, famous as the head of a great apple producing organization, is the Demo- cratic nominee for Governor, and against him the Republicans have nominated Jesse W. Barrett of St. Louis, former attorney general of the State. In the primary Stark won the Democratic nomination by 300,000 votes. He was opposed by William Hirth, a farm leader. Hirth made his issue the Pendergast machine, and after he was beaten came out for the Republican gubernatorial candidate. Hirth had 178,000 votes in the rural districts. If many of them follow his lead in the gubernatorial contest, Barrett may win. Furthermore, the boss issue is more effective in the gubernatorial campaign than in the presidential. It is a State issue. Holders of fraternal insurance pollclesi are up in arms, too, against the Dem- ocratic State administration, for the State Insurance Department has moved to require these fraternal or- ganizations to pay back taxes. This | may be an effective issue in the | smaller communities. Landon has powerful support from | daily newspapers both in Kansas City are generally | agreement. | in connection with similar steps by and St. Louis. The Kansas City Star and the Bt. Louis Post Dispatch are | both campaigning for him. The Post Dispatch dramatically switched to | Landon several weeks ago, declaring | that while it has always been Demo- | cratic and liberal in the past, it cannot stomach the Roosevelt New Deal, and the huge bureaucracy which Roose- velt is building up in Washington.

Paving the way for a resumption of trade talks between the United States and Italy, Fulvio Suvich, new Italian.

Under that principle, the signatories to agreements promise to give each other commercial advantages equal to the most favorable accorded any ather nation. Arrived Week Ago. On his arrival here a week ago, Suvich said one of his first tasks would be to initiate discussions to af- ford each side an opportunity to re- view Italo-American trade relations in the light of recent international monetary developments and to explore possible new avenues leading to an He expressed the belief that Italy's recent action in revaluing its currency Prance and other European nations | afforded s firm basis for & general im- | provement of his country’s commercial | 8-Weeks’ Course!
