Putting fly in ointment of "McNutt-for -president" boom. Washington, D.C., April 21. If he continues the pace he is setting to date, Rep. Albert J. Engel, Republican of Michigan, appears certain to throw the "monkey wrench" into the gears of the "McNutt-for-President" boom which got underway during the past winter. Rep.

The proposed palaces are to cost $500,000 and $250,000 respectively. Rep.
