WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 — <U>) — The federal government smashed into a widely flung ring of narcotic smugglers tonight, uncovering a blood-spattered trail of political intrigue and assassination stretching to Central America.
Commissioner H. J. Anslinger of the federal narcotics bureau announced 13 men were arrested in New Orleans with $75,000 worth of heroin in their possession. Tonight coast guard cutters churned the Gulf of Mexico seeking two fast boats on which remnants of the gang were in flight.
The smugglers had intended to sell the heroin in this country, Anslinger said, and use the money to buy arms and ammunitions to be sent to the Central American republics of Honduras.
Tomorrow the 13 prisoners will be taken before the U. S. commissioner at New Orleans, along with the packages of heroin, and arraigned on a charge of violating the federal narcotics act.
The exact date that the heroin reached New Orleans is unknown, but the federal agents have found out how it was brought in. A device resembling a toy balloon was used, Anslinger said.
Lost and Found Office Offers Choice Lockers

Berglund asks that all students who have lost articles call at the Information office for them, as he has many articles there which have not been called for.

Help us to protect life and limb.
R. B. von KleinSmid,
President
reinforcements came up to help “dunk” him.
Thus ended episode one.
With miscellaneous brawls going on all around him, while he was regaining his breath. Bud saw Squire Bob Wood very carefully keeping as far away from the pool as possible, while at the same time shoving peagreeners among the goldfish. •
Wishing most generously to share his dampness with his “superior” he rushed up and before Wood could do anything he found himself spouting water a la whale.
Thus ended episode two.
With episodes one and two in mind thc sophomores (nine by actual count) leaped upon First Year Man Colegrove and bore him, resisting with all his strength, toward the pool’s rim once more. They were successful tn giving him another ducking but Bud pulled into the water with him Sophomores No. 1, 2. 3. 4, 5, 6, 7. 8. and 9.
Thus endeth episode three.
No football player of mighty pro portions is Colegrove. Yet he, single-handed. dragged as many sophomores into the Duck Pond as all the second year men were able to gather up from the frosh class.
Thus endeth chapter two.
