the University of Illinois, mid Ju- jlius Klein, public relations con- any significant Midwestern sonli- ment on national issues, or any clear signs of approval or dlsap- proval of what the Eisenhower administration and Congress are doing. Various candidates have been bringing up such questions as farm and employment problems or Ihun dering against sending any Ameri cans to fight In Indochina. But voters seem to be more interester in local issues, and races involving city and county offices and seats in the state legislature. Republican are attracting the major claim to attention since none of the Democratic con tests Involves any statewide balloting. Sen.

Douglas has no challenger in the primary. Primary Opposition Within the Illinois congressional delegation, nine of the 16 Republican House members are bucking opposition but only one of the nine Democrats has any competition. All 25 incumbent congressmen look like fairly safe bets lo win renomination. That includes, of course, the committee chairmen, Harold H. Velde of the Un-American Activities Committee, Leo E.

Allen of the Rules Committee, Robert B. Chiperficld of Foreign Affairs and Chauncey VV. Reed of Judiciary. Plus Sid Simpson of the District of Columbia Committee, who has no opposition. Reed isn't particularly alarmed about a pair of GOP rivals.

Chiperfield and Allen have been up against somewhat sliffer competition. Velde has encountered a tough antagonist in one-armed Robert H. Allison, for 20 years a member ot the State Legislature. And among some clergymen in his district there is an undercurrent of resentment that his committee has questioned a number of ministers. Hope for Defeats Democrats probably would seize on defeats of any Republican congressmen, committee chairmen particularly, as a token of grass rools displeasure Hi the way the GOP has boon running Congress.

As tilings stand now, the Republicans have a paper thin majority in the House and none at all in dip Senate. So they are eager to pick off two or three House Democrats from Illinois in November and toss Douglas out of the Senate. The experts expect a light turnout Tuesday perhaps 1,600,000 ot 1,775,000, or roughly one out of three of some live million persons Who are registered. Among the GOP senatorial aspirants, none is a prominent na tional figure and some aren't even widely known within their own The olher contestants are Edgar M. Klbcrl, llerberl K.

The answer is that in the four years since he first cried "Red" he has built a formidable intelligence system.

It is based on a network of agents and informers, paid and unpaid, who dig up material from every corner of the United States, from confidential government files, even from foreign countries. He has demonstrated time and again that he can quickly lay his hands on long past the lives of men and women. His operation feeds on the skeleton the closet, specially the political skeleton, but al! kinds of skeletons interest him. He has two main sources of in. formation.

He employs a staff of agents, many of them former FBI men! who earn more working for him than they could for the government. He also hires, as he needs them, undercover operatives in foreign countries. Gets Amateur Aid In addition to these professionals. he "information" from a Jiost amateur tipsters and snoopers, anxious or disgruntled people he has never met. er names may be un-i known to him.

Gen. Brownell presents to a House Judiciary subcommittee a legislative program aimed at. do- slroying the Communist Party In America.

Police Record 49 Arrests In Three Days One of (he busiest periods for both the police department and the police magistrate's court is reflected in records of ihP last weekend which show a total of -19 arrests in three days. Police said they believed all records were broken when 25 cases were taken into police court before Magistrate Schreibcr Saturday forenoon. Of the 49 arrests. 30 were in traffic cases.

In the period from Friday morning to Saturday arrests were booked. 17 of which were for traffic violations. Saturday saw 18 more arrests, 7 in traffic cases; and Sunday. 8 arrests, 6 being in traffic cases. Police said 13 cases heard Saturday were on charges of speeding.

MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1934 Sen. Griswold Dies at Age 60 Heart Attack Ts Fatal to Rppubliran WASHINGTON Dwight P. Ori.wold (R-Neb). three times governor nf his state and former director of the American aid mission to Greece, died parly today affpr a heart attack. He was 60.

Death, attributed to a coronary occlusion, came shortly after midnight at the naval hospital at suburban Bethesda. Md. Mrs. Griswold was at the bedside. Griswold had been in the Senate since January 1953.

He was elected to fill out two years remaining in the term of the late Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry. No change in the political lineup of the Senate is likely. The governor of Nebraska, Robert C.

Crosby, is a Republican and presumably will appoint a Republican successor to serve until the November election. The Senate composition is now 46 Republicans, 48 Democrats and 1 Independent. Griswold. although active in Republican political life for a quarter of a century, was named to several high positions in the Democratic administration of former President Truman. He was plprlprl to thrpe terms as Npnraska governor in 1340, 1912 and 1944.

While serv. ing his third term, he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for the U. S. Senate, Report Robbery At Owl's Club Police were informed parly Sun! day of a robbery at tin- Owls' Club at L'27 Blair AVP. in which a sum al more than $200 was missing from a cash drawer which had been forced open behind the bar in HIP social room.
