KIDNAP VICTIM
SERIOUSLY ILL
Bookie Car Is Suffering
From MiStreatment.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
LAKE GENEVA, Wis, Aug. 29.-
John j. Lynch, wealthy publisher
or racing information, was report
ed seriously i'll today as the result
of mistreatment by kidnapers who
held him almost a week for ransom.
After Lynch returned to his $125,-
900 estate early Thursday he re-
ported he had been treated well by
the kidnapers, but today it was said
he still was unable to see we'll and
that he apparently was suffering
from several broken ribs.
Lynch had planned to confer Fri
day with Detective Pat Roche re-
garding a fight to the finish against
gangs which have preyed for
months upon rich men of the
gambling fraternity. He was I'M
able to do so because of his con-
dition.
At the Lynch home, denials were
repeated that any ransom was paid
for his release, but his wealthy
friends in Chicago made statements
which left little doubt that $4,000
was given the kidnapers.
Roche predicted Friday night
that within two days he would ar
rest the seven men who kidnapped
Lynch and that within week he
would have the men in prison.

SCALE PROGRAM

Two Bad Blows by
Administration.
By scripps-HOtoard Newspaper alliance

By Scripps-Hotcdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Hoover's policy of opposition to
wage cuts received two bad blows
this week within his own admins
tration.
The first was a speech delivered
by Postmaster General Brown in
Los Angeles suggesting cuts in pos
tai pay as an alternative to higher
postal rates. The second was pub
LEGATION in western papers of the
fact that the forest service has cut
the pay of its fire fighters this sea-
son.
Several weeks ago when Secretary
Of Commerce Lamont justified wage
cuts in letter to member of
congress, the President denied that
the policy he announced in 1929 had
been modified.
At that time he called industrial
leaders to Washington and obtained
from them promises that wages
would be maintained at existing
levels.
Limited to Salaries
More recently, when United States
Steel was said to be about to cut
wages, the fact that it limited cuts
to salary groups was hailed as an
administration victory.
Fire fighters in far western states
are receiving 80 cents an hour this
year instead of 35 cents an hour,
and have been throughout the fire
season. Roy Headley, assistant for
ester in charge of operations, said
today that the cut was agreed upon
jointly by officials of the three
western divisions, state fire fighting
agencies and cooperating agencies.
1.-THE problem has been an ex-
tremely difficult one," said Headley.
Short, Emergency Job
Fire fighting is a short, emer-
gency job, and we usually recruit
our fighters from men who have no
other work. There is tendency for
men with no other jobs to congre-
gate in Spokane and MiSSoula in
the hope of being sent out to fight
fires.
1--WE always have to be on guard
against the tendency to set fires, or
to spread them, in order that work
may be available and this year, the
tendency is more pronounced than
ever before.
I'm addition, wages in numbering
and other industries in the forest
fire zones are far below their past
levels, and we had to take that into
consideration too.
Fire fighting is hard work, and
a dollar an hour would not be too
much if we :ould pay it, and could
do so withol { danger to our forests"
A number of western newspapers
have protested editorially against
the cut and have called it inconsis-
tent with the Presidents economic
policy.

OKLAHOMA CITY, August S.--The
close Of four days OF martial law in
Oklahoma oil fields found Gov. w. H.
Murray's shutdown edict in full force
tonight, with approximately 5000 wells
choked down, but the goal Of 81 bar
rel oil still unattained.
More Guardsmen were withdrawn
from the fields today, as little physical
opposition to the order materialized,
and interest of oil men turned toward
Austin, Tex, where the legislature was
struggling with proposals designed to
regulate the flush pools OF East Texas.
Texas Hits Record.

East Texas production, which for the
week ended August reached a record
for any field In the country, Is the con-

age, East Texas production OF 654236
barrels, the famed gushers at Oklahoma
City we're throbbing under closed valves.
The only company that attempted to
contest the shutdown order near the
week end was the Champlin Refining
Co., military authorities reported. When
the company tried to keep one Of its
wells open National Guardsnen forced
workmen to close the producer.
Announcement was made during the
day by O. @. Peppers, in charge OF the
purchasing division Of the Champlin
Co, tina this concern had interests in
East Texas that would allow 1t to oper-
ate It's refinery indefinitely Meantime,
the company has purchased enough
crude to allow It to operate steadily for
90 days, Peppers stated He attacked
what he called Gov. Murray's misuse

Railroads Repaired.
A dispatch from Mineola, Tex, late
today stated that in expectation Of

fields to Oklahoma refineries the Inter-
national and Greater Northern and
