Police Are Unable to Find
CIeW; Father Denies
Deal Made.

By United Press
NILES, O., March 5.-Parental
hope held out stoutly today against
increasing fears of authorities that
Jimmy Dejute Jr., 12-year-old
schoolboy who was kidnapped
Wednesday by two men, had been
killed by his abductors.
AS the third day of search started
without having exposed any known
word from the boys captors, police
became more alarmed by fears he
has been put to death. Whisperings
of a "black hand" plot rumbled in
the investigation.
In contrast to this feeling of
alarm was the attitude of the boys
father and other members of his
family who consistently have ex-
pressed the conviction Jimmy would
be returned home safely. Even his
mother, who at first was stricken
by despair that she would never see
her boy alive, has become more
hopeful.
Denies Deal Made
This optimism has led freely to
the opinion the father has been
negotiating with the kidnapers and
has Iessened the intensity of the
search. But he firmly has denied
any dealings while refusing to dis
cusS fully his plans and hopes.
Neighbors Friday night reported
Dejute, a wealthy contractor, had
told them he expected word from
the abductors during the night,
but insofar as could be learned, he
received none.
Authorities planned to intensity
the search today, aided by federal
and state authorities.
Department of justice operatives
were ordered by Edgar Hoover, head
of the bureau of investigation, to
extend full resources of the de-
partment" to police in tracking
down the criminals.
At Columbus, Governor George
White offered the aid of state
agencies, and in a statement, urged
adjoining states, principally Penn
sylvania and West Virginia, to CO.
operate.
Fled to Pennsylvania
Convinced that the kidnapers fed
with the boy to Pennsylvania, Po-
lice Chief Nicholas planned to push
the hunt in that direction. Penn
sylvania state police were seeking
information of a suspect, residing
near Mercer, who was described
through photographs by eye
witnesses as strongly resembling
one of the abductorS.
Sergeant E. c. Bergas of Mercer
reported to Chief Nicholas that the
suspect is notorious in that section.
He formerly resided here.

Jimmy's mother, was epitomized i'll

The burro, dependable and indis-

the mining days of the old west,
has come back into its own here.
The sad looking, rather ridiculous
appearing relic of the past, has
been conscriped to haul mail and

HOOVER SEEKS
EASIER LOANS
FOR BUSINESS
Presidents Next Move viii
Be to AIIay Fears Of
TimorouS Bankers.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent

tCopyrlgnC. 1852. DIV united PreSSb
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Presi-
dent Hoover is going after the
bankers next.
The bulk of emergency legislation
has been enacted. Treasury plans
for baby bonds" to entice boarded
money from hiding are ready for
announcement.
Mr.. Hoover believes the govern
ment's next big job is to soothe the
nerves of frightened bankers.
He accepts without reservation
the public charge Of Senator Carter
Glass Dem, Va.) that the bankers
are the worst hoarders of all.
That accusation is predicated on
the fact that while many banks
were failing in the last two years,
the majority of them have been
liquid in the fullest sense of the
word.
They have called loans and re-
fused to make new ones in order to
accumulate cash reserves against
the possibility of runs.
Merchants Complaining
White House secretaries are del
uged with letters from merchants
throughout the United States COM
planning that bankers are refusing
to extend credit regardless Of how
good the collateral may be. Many
of those letters have reached Mr..
Hoover'S desk.
White House opinion is that the
bankers are panic stricken and
must be treasured.
The administration is not expect
ing that vast numbers of persons
will buy the 2 per cent baby
bonds soon to be offered. They
merely are the basis upon which
Colonel Frank Knox, publisher CT
the Chicago Daily News, will con-
duct for Mr.. Hoover an anti-hoard-
ing campaign.
The interest rate was placed at
2 per cent with the deliberate pur-
pose of making a savings account
in a bank more attractive than the
bonds.
Hoarding Seen Dwindling
The bonds are to afford shelter
only for the most timorous, who
fail to regain confidence through
enactment Of the Glass-Steagall
bill to expand federal reserve cur
rency and credit, and the S2,OO0,-
100000 reconstruction finance cor
poration project.
Mr.. Hoover believes the people al
ready are reacting fayorably to these
measures, that they are returning
their money to the banks. His
purpose now is to persuade bank
ers that their fears are without
foundation and that they should
release the accommodating cash re-
serves into the loan channels which
create trade.
Two emergency measures await
congressional action. One would
create a permanent organization
for relief of depositors of closed
bank. The other would create a
system of home loan discount. The
former has an excellent chance to
be enacted.

by JANE ABBOTT

SYNOPSIS: 4 quick, hot quar- rel-and Kitty Frew is left alone to wait for her husband, Gar, to return home. Fear Overtakes her when he does not arrive. The main trouble lies in her efforts to make Gar settle down and be practical, while he wants to have a good time. They have been married only a short time, but already she has learned that she docsn't fit into his crowd. The cool and hammered girls and the swift-paced boys are very diff ferent from the young people of her small home town. Even though she tries to learn new points of view, Gar finds Kitty stiff and prim before his old friends. His mothers leased dis approval to the marriage makes Kitty uncomfortable and strength ems Mrs. FrcW's determination to maintain control over Gar. Still waiting for Gar, Kitty goes into the hall to find shabby stranger there.

Mrs. Frew has been very sweet to you, hasn't she?"
 eOh, yes. She's been darling. Lots of mothers, caring for Gar as she does, might not have forgiven me. T can understand that now. But she's been very nice about it."
 Shes allowed you to sit on the edge of he rthrone. But she's let you see that hers is a prior claim on Gar, hasn't she?"
 T won't listen to you if you talk like that" Kitty answered spirit edly.
 David patted her hand. Don't then. But I'd like to see you stand square on your two little feet, as long as you've walked into this thing. Now let's talk about you. I want to know about Bridgewater. Did you live by any chance in a nice friendly old house with picket fence around it?"
 Why, I did-a very old house, and very old fence and both need repairing most frightfully."
 f''-a nice big kitchen, that smells very pleasantly of baking and a family room with-good, old, hon. orable things in it?"
 Laughing, she admitted to the good old possessions of her fathers home. to their honorable shabb,- ness.
 II like place like that" David said, slowly. A place that seems to put arms around you when you walk into it. I've got one-out on a by-road in the country"
 "I'd love to see it, Kitty said softly. She bent a tender glance on David's head. There had been a lonely note in his voice that made her sorry for him.
 And presently with an eagerness
