Feb. 27—(UP)—The girls took over the city today in a leap year day manhunt for at least 300 bachelors. A police force of 50 glamour ’ girls, who would prefer to be housewives, began arresting uni married males at 6 a.m. and carting them off to the police station. The males were held in the bullpen until they got a hearing before a police magistrate, who was an unmarried firl willing to accept marriage proposals. To get out of jail the accused had to pay fines — such as a pair of nylon stockings, or a wrist watch, or a portable radio. The usual charge was “loitering on the road to matroimony.” The girls were having their fun in a revival of Aurora’s leap year day, the first in eight years. The event was moved ahead two days this year because Feb. 29 falls on Sunday. Durtng leap year day, Aurora’s unmarried young ladies hold all the irhportant city offices. Any bachelor is subject to arrest on sight. The police force this morning arrested more than 100 young men, who couldn’t produce a marriage certificate. Within two hours after the police court opened, 93 bachelors had been fined. In squad cars the female police force roamed the streets of this city of 47,00'0 persons. One squad guarded the railroad station to see that~ no bachelors fled from the city. The temporary chief of police said it was easy to spot a bachelor on the street. “We just arrest the ones who look happy,” she said. The policewomen wore dark skirts with regular police uniform coats and police caps. They carried billy clubs. And they were armed with a list of 300 “public enemies” —men who are eligible for marriage. Policewomen went into offices and homes and seized some of those on the list. Others were trapped in the street, in restaurants, and even in barbershops where they had sought to hide out. One. man was caught in a Turkish bath. As the ladies opened the city’s official business this morning they i strung clothes lines through the city hall and hung up stockings, slips, and lingerie. Panties, slips, and stockings flapped in the breeze on the city hall. 0 A few words from the heart truly said Are better than many just from the head. Count that day lost whose low descending sun Views from our hands no nirthy action done. O for a man to rise in me, That the man I am may cease to be. — Tennyson

Dillon Is Located In Massachusetts Chicago, Feb. 27 —JU P) — Paul Dillon, St. Louis attorney and politician sought for weeks for questioning in a congressional investigation of federal paroles granted four Capone hoodlums, has been located in Massachusetts, federal officials disclosed today. Mrs. Louis Campagna, wife of one of the four, testified at a congressional sub-committee hearing here Feb. 17 that she paid Dillon SIO,OOO for helping to get 'her husband paroled. She said she got a bill for “professional services” and paid him by cashier’s check. A federal grand jury here has been investigating the paroles to see if any irregularities were involved. They sought to subpena Dillon, but did not find him at his home and his office in St. Louis. Today federal officials disclosed that Dillon had been served with a subpena at Newton, Mass., and ordered to appear before the grand jury Monday. Efforts had been made to reach him not only at St. Louis but in I Mexico City, where he was understood to have visited recently. Dillon appeared before the subcommittee here last September. He testified that he went to Washington and appeared before the U. S. parole board on Campagna’s behalf. Dillon said he had managed the senatorial compaign for President Truman in the St. Louis area in 1934.
