Proof That Crops Are
HELPED by Radio Waves

Radio makes crops grow at double
speed in experiments announced by
DR.. Fritz Hildebrandt, Berlin physi-
cist, says an Associated Press report.
In field of poor fertility he treat
ed seeds Of beans, sunflowers, rad
ishes, melons and tomatoes with
short radio waves ranging from half
a millimeter to 80 centimeters. The
seeds were exposed TO the waves for
Is minutes.
Radishes, he says, rlpened in two
weeks, compared with untreated see'l
which failed to show dubious root
formation even after four weeks.
The ripening period of tomatoes was
reduced from seven or eight months
to three.
Untreated kohlrabi seed showed no
bulb formation whatever, but treated
seed produced substantial kohlrabi'
Doctor Hildebrandt says similar re-
suits were obtained with other vege-
tables and plants.

BANDIT CAPTIVE
FEARED FOR LIFE
American Believes kidnapping
Was Motivated by Desire
for Revenge.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VERA CRUZ, April 1S.-Leonard B.
Cassidy, American citizen, who was kid
mapped by Mexicans near the village of
Ell Hule, Oaxaca, Tuesday morning
feared during the 80 hours he was a
captive that a fate more terrible than
that of unpaid ransom victim was to be
his lot.
Cassidy. who arrived here last night,
said that the men who captured him, he
believed, were motivated with desire for
a gruesome revenge for labor difficulties
they had had with him as manager of
the Transcontinental Fruit Co. in that
section
Cassidy was worn out and completely
exhausted from his experience. He I'M
derstood that six men had been arrested
by Gen. Gonzalez at a place near Es-
peranza and that one of them had been
executed. The other five were held as
intellectual authors of the crime. An
other report said all had been sum-
marily executed.
Cassidy said he was talking on his
telephone Tuesday morning when SIX
men appeared, one Snatch1ng MS pistol
while the other five beat him and seized
the telephone. They led him into the
rough country, where after several hours
pursuing, federal troops captured the
leader, Ell Llengo.
When the others heard of Ell Llengo's
capture they became frightened, and
released Cassidy.
Cassidy said that three men stayed
with him during the daylight hours and
two with him at night.
At one time during his stay with his
abductors Cassidy thought they were
going to kill him and he asked that one
be sent for a priest so that he might
confess before he died. The leader
answered him grimly that they were not
going to kill him.

will be the final one devoted to spe-
cial program. The speakers are Frederic
William Vile of the editorial Statf OF
The Evening Star and political analyst
of the Columbia Broadcasting System,
who recently returned from the London
naval conference and will discuss its
problems, and Alfred H. Haag, head OF
the international shipping department
of the Georgetown University School

her experiences in Russia, Richard
Washburn Child, former Ambassador to
Italy, and DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j.,
vice president of Georgetown Univer-
sity and regent of the School of Foreign
Service.
Endorses Hoover Program.
A hearty Endorsement of the work of
President Hoover toward bringing about
a reduction in naval ornaments of the
world coupled with demand that
America remain "unshackled" by afil-
iation with the World Court, was voiced
by Mr. Child.
In referring to the results of the
London Naval Conference. the former
envoy said that "a gain has been made
to the credit of this administration"
He added however, ut Is unintelli-
gent not to recognize that parity with
another naval power cannot be more
than a pretense when superior mer-
chant marine can be converted into
ships of war"
Mr.. Child named the Bremen and the
Europa as potentially unbeatable. u
The London gain, he said, was "an
honest gift of the world" of willingness
to seek for the removal OF. the burdens
of armament" He urged recognition of
at least partial victory in London.
There is no reason to delay tonight
| in renewing assurances of our tribute to
one who worked with zeal and earnest
ness for great end-the President

He quoted President Hoover as say

work for peace without commitments
to use coercion and to enforce settle
mentS"
But Child warned: 1--WE may not only
commit ourselves in advance to use

Nations" using coercion OF political
