No. 202. i'abductors killed H OISTELHURST TOTl By PAI L MAI.LON '(Copyright. tf34, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, D. C, NOT. 14. The first Inflationary result or the lection Is beginning to bo notlceab.e on the Inside. It Is an Inflation of the cranium, not of the dollar. Newsmen o b -served It Increas ingly as they made their rounds during the past week. They found a lot of new deal bureau crats in two-by-four Jobs appar ently Interpreted the election as a Tlctory for themselves personally. These two by fours are bursting the buttons off their vesta with expand ing confidence. They talked as mod estly as Huey-Long. The first consequences of this self Inflation were apparent In some hir ing, firing and transferring of per sonnel In some spots. In certain otl'.cr spots the last remaining civil service holdovers found the new atmosphere ao chilly that their knees are shak ing. There were some little signifi cant Incidents elsewhere. One experienced newsman observed mournfully. "It's going to be might) hard for anyone around Washington the next two years who does not hap pen to be for the new deal." Dental Work Furnishes Posi tive Key to Identification of Nashville 'Snatch' Victim, Say Officials The situation apparently la not jet general. So far It Is confined to the peanuts of the new deal and not the pecAns. At the White House and at the offices of some of the bigger men there Is an undertone of respectful awe for the new responsibilities voted upon them by the electorate, and Just a little private feeling of wondci whether , they will be able to do ail that the voters expect. These people remember what happened to Hoover after his unprecedented landslide of 1928. Opponents of the administration are Inwardly glad about the situation. They are confident Mr. Roosevelt wl'i never be able to keep his flock of 2x4s from getting him into trouble The strategist for a leading antl-nw deal organization explains It very well: "We can't beat Roosevelt, b t the new dealers can." NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Nov. 14. yp) A nude body found In a shallow grave on the outskirts of Nashville was Identified today as that of Dorothy Ann Distelhurst, six-year-old girl kid naped &s she was enroute home from kindergarten on September 19. The announcement of the Identifi cation was made by Attorney-Genet nl J. Carlton Loser, who said the child was murdered. Dr. Herman Spitz, pathologist, and Dr. Leonard P. Pcsgue. dentist and orthodontist, examined the body and Joined the attorney-general in -tne announcement that the identifica tion was positive. Skull Crushed. "The child was murdered," Loser said. "Her akull at the left side was crushed by a hammer or other blunt Instrument. A gag was found In hr mouth, possibly used as a gag to prevent an outcry." The girl's father, A. E. Distelhurst. who had been In New York In an attempt to contact the kidnapers and pay over the $5,000 demanded for the child's return, left New York this morning by plane, after being noti fied of the discovery of the bodv. He had not been advised of the Iden tification made by the prosecuting attorney and the doctors. "The Identification was established definitely by the filling in the second upper right baby molar," Dr. Poue said. He had filled Dorothy Anns tooth ehortly before she disappeared and said the filling In the tooth wax his work. Identity Positive. .. The body was found on the ho&p.Ul grounds Ute yesterday, but the an nouncement of the Identification wm delayed until the physicians made tne examination which convinced them the body was that of the girl.( VANDERBILT CASE One transfer which apparently hd an election Inspiration was that of Marrlner Eccles to the chairmanship of federal reserve. There can be 10 doubt but that the choice of Eccles was tentatively made backstage week. If not months, ago. However It was not announced until a weel; after the election. They may have wished to keep the bankers quiet un til after they had voted, or else thsy had some hesitancy about whethei they could get away with It before till? vote of confidence rolled in. Eccles will be the kind of ffderai reserve board chairman that Presi dent Roosevelt himself would be If the law let him hold both Jobs. The appointment means the administra tion now has about nil the ccntnl bank It nerds. Only three things re main to be done: the isolation of Gov ernor Harrison of the New York fed eral reserve or his conversion to the new deal: passage of two amend ments by congress, giving the board power '.o veto selection of governors and to strengthen board control ovei credit. A certain Influential Democratic senator Is fuming about PWA delays. His complaint Is that It required ex actly a year and a half to get a little over one million dollars for a town project In hl state. The mayor of the town made Innumerable trips to Washington, but could not cut through the red tape. During the year and a half the town had to fel persons who would have been em ployed on the project. The senator la going to try to open up the next public works appropria tion bill and will unquestionably suc ceed. Most of his brother senators have suffered similar experiences. The trouble Is they will probably open It too wide. Incldenally, the PWA has a new alibi. It Is the court. Con- rf.mnatlnns have been delayed for weeks and months by legal Involve menu, the PWA says. Ickes may pro pose an expropriation law. for ewift acquisition of desirable properties. The best stories are always the ones that are not true. There Is the one about Agriculture Secretary Wallace publishing company being sued for violation of the anti-trust law after all Mr. Wallace haa done against '.he truate. The only thing wrong with the widespread rumor la that Mr Wallace no longer has an Interest In Wallaces Parmer, against which the suit has been filed by the Indiana Parmers' Guide Publishing Company. The case Is now before the suprems court. Attorney General Cummins Is !.o longer a member of the law firm of Cummtngs At Lorkwood of Stamford.
