And now the twentieth
amendment will be added to
the constitution providing that
thirty-siX states of the Union
ratify it through their legisla-
lures. The twentieth amend
ment is destined to cure the
Lame duck" evil and should
be promptly ratified. The
amendment would do away
with the lame duck" session
of congress and move the time
of taking office by both con-
gress and the president to early
in January instead of March
4 as at present.
Lame ducks" are character
lied in this instance as con-
gressmen who have been
turned down by their consti-
tuents and yet have the power
to make laws and transact
business before their successors
qualify four months after cleo
ton. During these four months
many strange and wonderous
doings are performed on the
part of outgoing congressman
in retaliation for being re-
pudiated. A weapon in the
hands of the lame duck" is
the fillibuster, organized to
thwart measures from being
passed unless so constituted as
TO discredit the incoming con-
gress. The session is the relict
of the stage-coach and horse
drawn vehicle history of our
country.

.L|NDBERCH DECLARES WAS D0UBLE-CROSSED
 BY CHILD KIDNAPPERs

NEW YORK, April II, (P)-Col. Chas. A. Lindbergh announced Sat- urday night through the police he had paid the $5O,OOO ransom to the kidnappers of his son, who were properly identified to us" but that the child was not left at the des- tined place.
 Efforts are now being made to trace the recipients of the money through the numbers on the bills.
 Norfolk men said the ransom had nothing to do with their ne- gotiations.
 Following the alleged double crossing" of Colonel Lindbergh by the abductors of his son, he auth orized Colonel Swartzkopf, of the New Jersey police, to make the an- nouncement that the $5O,OOO ran- som had been paid to the kidnap- pers who were properly identified but that the whereabouts of the child was not made known to him.
 They waited several days for the kidnappers to bring the child to the announced destination and all though every opportunity was giv- en them to return the child safely, the baby has not yet been returned.
 It is indicated that when Colonel Lindbergh turned over the serial numbers of the currency to the Treasury Department at Washing ton he intends to secure the CO., operation of the police and other agencies in an effort to trace the recipients of the serialized bills, provided that the child is not re- turned.
 He said his only ambition is to have the child returned.

CHICAGO CANCsTERs
 PUT 0N HEAD SH0W''

CHICAGO, April 11.-While cele- brating the first anniversary of his taking over the mayoralty chair of Chicago, Mayor Cermak was again slapped in the face Sunday when a group of gangsters, allegedly from Chicago, drove to a nearby farmers home and told him they were going to put on show. The gangsters then showed a man, who had been their prisoner, from the car and filled him full of lead. The man died instantly.
 The farmer reported the affair to the police but wished his name withheld as he feared the conse- quences. There have been many men taken for ride in the vicinity of Chicago as we'll as elsewhere but it is believed that this affair was one of the first public executions on the part of gangsters.

 NARROW ESCAPE: FROM DEATH CLEANING GUN

While cleaning 30-40 Krag rifle Sunday afternoon about 4:15 o'clock, which he thought was un- loaded, George Guest accidently shot himself in the left breast, the bullet shattering his left arm as it emerged.

A younger bro- ther, Allen, and the sister, Edith, were at home at the time, Edith at work in the kitchen while Allen was studying his lessons. The fla ther, Robert Guest, who recently underwent a major operation, is still convalescing in the hospital and, not having fully recovered his strength, was not notified of his sons injury Sunday.
 Hearing the shot, Allen and Edith rushed up the stairs and there saw their brother lying on the floor. They immediately notified neigh bors and authorities and within five minutes Dr. Haverstock was rendering first aid in the home; within 10 minutes from the time he was injured, George was on the operating table.

NEW VIOLENT ATTACK 0N THE AMERICAN
 DOLLAR IN FRANCE

LONDON, Eng. April II, A new and more violent attack on the American dollar was launched in Paris. AS a result the dollar sag ged to $2532 in France, below the gold point in late trading. The newspaper LOrdre, owned by French steel interests, contended that a large American bank had ceased payments. The article was false and brazen compared to re- cent other underhand attacks on the dollar. The Paris branch of the bank in question appealed to the United States embassy. The attention of Premier Tardieau was called to the article. The newspa- per also published rumors that three large New York banks were in difficulties.
 At New York, bankers attributed the latest attack on the dollar to operations of a powerful group of international spectators intent on driving the United States off the gold standard to serve their own selfish motives. As a result of the attack over $7,OOO,O00 in gold was arranged for export Friday as the French franc rose to the level where it would be profitable to buy dollars and ship the proceeds to Europe in gold money.

BABY K|DNAPPERs ARE HUNTED WITH
 RENEWED v|GOR
LINDY WAS TO GET BABY BACK ON TRIP TO MARTINS
 VINEYARD

HOPEWELL, N. J., April 11.-A virtual declaration of war has been issued against the kidnappers of the Lindbergh child as they failed to keep faith with Colonel Lind bergh even after he had paid them the ransom money and had given the abductors every chance and plenty of time in which to return the child.
 It was revealed Sunday that the visit of Colonel Lindbergh the other day by plane to the Martins Vineyard country was for the pur- pose of receiving the child from the abductors but the abductors were not there and neither was the child.
 The abductors are said to have been in contact with Lindbergh since the ransom money was paid and it was declared that the ab- ductors had stated they were con- vinced of Lindy's good faith and that they wanted the money paid them in bills to be exchanged for gold, which could not be traced.
 This trade, however, appears inn possible and the hunt for the per- petrators of the crime has been started with renewed vigor.
 Lindbergh apparently wants the criminals arrested at all costs.
 A former gangster, who is al- legged to have muScled in on the New Jersey liquor racket, has been taken into custody and is being investigated, Rumor has it that, this gangster could have been the brains of the Kidnapping gang and that the kidnappers could have taken the child from the Lind bergh home to one of his hideouts and from here transferred it to a boat in Rum Row.
 The Treasury Department has released the serial numbers on the bills paid by Lindbergh to the ab- ductors of the baby and the hunt for the recipients of this currency IS now underway.
 The publication of the United States Treasury Department of the complete list of the numbers on the bills paid to the kidnappers by Lindbergh is considered to have placed the Colonel in a strategic position in the hunt for the child.
 The list has been sent to bankers who have been asked to be on the lookout for this currency and it is believed that the kidnappers will be afraid to use this money.
 Lindbergh announced Sunday night that the persons to whom the money was paid were positively identified as the kidnappers by means of mark on the ransom note which was left the night the 1 child was taken from the Lind bergh nursery. It is the belief that | the general means of Identification was cryptic symbol used as a sig nature on the ransom note and 1 which has never been disclosed to 5he public.
