Mole Firsters Gleeful At Tracy's Un-Molelike Plight

"Tracy deserves it--dat bum," came a fighting communique (No. 87) from the Adams House headquarters of the Mole First Committee, when it learned early yesterday that Dick Tracy, funny-paper minion of the law and enemy of their beloved hero, was in a hole deep beneath the ground, unable to dig himself out.

"If the Mole were in that fix, he would have no trouble digging his way out," the communique continued. "We're expecting him to dig his way out of prison any afternoon now."

Usually well-informed sources close to the Committee indicated last night that the Mole's supporters all over the country have been putting pressure on Chester Gould, creator of "Dick Tracy" to destroy his hero "like an earthworm" and make the Mole the central figure of his comic strip.
