TAMPA, Fla. Aug. 19 (U. P.)— Sam Ososcky, who admits he is a tramp, shuffled along until yesterday under the impression that his relatives in Czechoslovakia either had all died or forgotten him.

Yesterday a letter caught up with ‘him here. One of the relatives had died and left him $40,000.

‘MAD BUTCHER’ ELUDES POLICE
Officers Baffled in Search for Killer; Dentists Asked To Check Files.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 19 (U. P)— “The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run” was as far from capture today as at any time in fouryear reign of torso-murder terror. Police pursued unavailingly the most tantalizingly close clues yet —left with his 12th and 13th victims—whose severad heads even, unlike his custom, he had left near their bodies. They asked all Cleveland dentists to check their files against the description of two silver .crowns and a metal pivot found in the mouth of Victim No. 12, a woman, but admitted that it was a needle-in-a-haystack search. They waited for a report from Washington on a thumbprint from the same victim, but checking of Federal Bureau of Identification records there will require 10 days more, then may not identify her. They felt still that the “torso laboratory”—a dingy room perhaps or a squalid shack—might lie within the close boundaries of the City’s Central Market, to which they traced the fish box and cookie box into which parts of the last two victims were stuffed. But fingerprints found on both ~oxes were found to be even too dim for tracing. They found that the brown hair of a woman—discovered in a box on the City’s East Side—could not have been that of the woman victim. >
JURY |S SELECTED FOR EASTON TRIAL
MICHIGAN CITY, Aug. 19 (U. P).—A panel of 12 jurors "was selected today for the first-degree murder trial of Orelle Easton, 25-year-old North Dakota farm youth who is accused of slaying State Trooper Ray Dixon. Five days were spent choosing the jurors and 225 persons were e€xamined. Two alternates still must be selected before the trial can start. Six of the 12 named are farmers. : $ Officer Dixon was shot to death near La Porte last June when he approached a stalled automobile to offer -assistance.. Easton was captured the next day near Deselm, Ill. and his brother, Clarence, 27, was killed by the posse. Orelle claims his brother fired the shots at Officer Dixon. The State will demand the death penalty.
USE WOMEN’S VANITY
~ TO BAN SCANTY GARB
MONTICELLO, N. Y., Aug. 19 (U. P.).—Village officials tried psychology today to stop women from wearing scanty garb on Monticello’s main street. Placards, emblazoned with “only old women may wear shorts jon Broadway,” were tacked up along the street. Questioned about police enforcement, Mayor Luis de Hoyos replied: “If I know anything about women it won’t ever come to that.”

RFC Fires Adviser of George for Activity in Politics; O'Connor Takes Up President's ‘Gage’ in Radio Talk
_ NATIONAL POLITICS GEORGE'S adviser ousted from RFC Job.
TYDINGS may answer Roosevelt Sunday.
By THOMAS S. STOKES Times Special Writer
ATLANTA, Aug. 19 (U.P. —The Roosevelt-George feud grows hotter than the pavements of Peachtree St
a igians got excited all over again today as the New Deal political board of strategy hurled another thunderbolt—the firing of Edgar B. Dunlap, who is the real Warwick of Senator George's campaign for renomination, from his job as general counsel of the Atlanta office of the Reconstruction Finance Corp., a job he had held for five years. ; The announcement was made af Washington in a formal RFC statement which said: “The resignation of Edgar B. Dunlap as counsel for the loan agency of the RFC at Atlanta, Ga. has been requested by the directors because of his refusal to discontinue his political activities in the face of repeated requests made by the corporation in line with its policy to have its employees refrain from active participation aside from voting their convictions: in political campaigns.” : - This - thrust, not wholly unexpected, is designed: to warn other Federal officenolders who have been active for the proscribed Senator to shake loose from their allegiance and get behind the candidacy of the President’s chosen candidate, Lawrence Camp, U. 8S. District Attorney at Atlanta—or else. The Senator has had the support of a large part of the Federal machine in Georgia. ;
Jobholders Worried This bold stroke served notice of
to leave nothing undone in his attempt to defeat Senator George, The squeeze play is on in earnest. Other Federal jobholders read the news today and quivered in their boots. Many have become deeply involved in the George campaign. The third candidate, former Governor “Gene” Talmadge, enjoyed the spectacle from the sidelines, since he has no officeholders to worry about. For the move tightened the lines about the Senator whom he has sought to deride and ridicule - in this campaign. He has been paying little heed to Mr. Camp.
plainly political. He got his notice in a telegram, a perfunctory message notifying
rectors had asked for his resignation and notifying him that a suc-
Carolina; attached to the Washington office, had been named. He was asked to co-operate by making Mr. Hobbs acquainted with the duties of the office. Mr. Dunlap revealed, in a telegram in reply, that he had been called to Washington the day before and told he would have to cease his activities on behalf of Senator
ge. “You made no complaint of my work and expressly stated that if I ceased my activity for Senator

President Roosevelt's determination.
The ousting of Mr. Dunlap was.
‘| him that the RFC board of di-
cessor, William J. Hobbs of North:
George everything would be all
right,” he said. ol
He added that he had said he had as much right to participate in the
' campaign as had District Attorney
Camp, a Federal job holder, and said he would continue. He got a
+ telephone call from Washington on
his return here and was told that his resignation would be asked. He demanded that it be asked in writing. The telegram followed. He replied with his resignation. In a subsequent statement Mr. Dunlap emphasized his consistent support of the President and the New Deal and his activity on behalf of both—his support of the President in 1932 and 1936 as a delegate to ‘the national conventions; his chairmanship of Atlantaa’s homecoming celebration for the President in 1935; his chairmanship of the celebration this spring at Gainesville, Ga., his home. town, when Roosevelt Square was dedicated, and his chairmanship of the Georgia committee for the President’s birthday celebrations on behalf of Warm Springs Foundation, in which be said his committee had raised more than any other. Mr. Dunlap is a former state American Legion commander.
Maps George Strategy The effectiveness of his activity for Senator George is no secret here, nor is devotion to this task. While the George headquarters are in a
hotel, everybody knows that the real work is being done by Mr. Dunlap
in angther office. He spends most of

his time there rather than at his RFC office.
It is there that the strategy of the George campaign is hatched. He has built up an organization for the Senator all over the state —and it was started several months ago—which is said to be the best political organization ever developed in Georgia. He has a card-index system that rivals the one once maintained by the late Wayne B. Wheeler, one-time dry Czar in Washington, where his aids can press a button and bring up a list of all the schoolteachers in
-Augusta, Ga., or the ministers in
Americus, or the doctors in Valdosta, ete. . Incidentally he has built his political lists and. card-index system from that which he developed as chairman of the President's birthday celebrations.
Tydings May Answer Roosevelt Sunday
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (U. P).|
—Senator Tydings (D. Md.) read out of the Democratic Party by
President Roosevelt for “betraying” the New Deal, was reported ready today to make a counterattack. At Salisbury, Md., last night, in his first address since Mr. Roosevelt asked Maryland voters to defeat him, Senator Tydings did not mention the White House action. In an address at Baltimore tonight or in a-radio address Sunday he is expected to join two other objects of
the President’s party purge—Senae tor George (D. Ga.) and Chairman John J. O'Connor (D. N. Y.) of the House Rules Committee—and ace* cept the President’s challenge. o Rep. O'Connor “snatched up the: gage” last night in a radio address from New York. He accused the President of using “foreign” tactics which, he said, provided an “escaia< tor to dictatorship,” and issued the same protest aganist “one-man government” that had been made earlier this week by Senator George; In his address to Eastern Shore’ farmers and businessmen, Senator. Tydings said that he never would consent to be “a rubberstamp or a ventriloquist’s dummy.” That was the closest he came to an intra party controversy, but he ane nounced that Sunday he would dise cuss “some matters that have come . to your attention recently.” :
