GRIP Of COLD
BEING BROKEN
Normal Temperatures Again
Felt After Freezing Wave From
Northern Country.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. II. U.Pj
Winters icy blasts Withdrew
from California today and normal
temperatures accompanied by sea-
sonal rains covered most of the
state.
Weather bureau officials attrib-
uted California's unusual cold tenn
peratures-the coolest on record
TO tremendous flow of cold. air
sweeping down from Alaska and
northern Canada.
This caused strong, high winds
which extended two to three miles
above the earth," weather bureau
officials said. California is subject
to such cold air movements from
the north, but seldom before have
they been SO intense as during the
past week.
There is no way of explaining
the phenomena and there are nc
indications that such conditions
will continue or that the remainder
of the winter will be abnormally
cold.
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. II. itU.P)
With the reluctance of a drown
ing person to let go, King Winter
today was giving ground over the
Pacific northwest in the battle OF
pressures-high and low.
After IL days of freezing wealth
er caused by high pressure areas
sweeping down from the north
bringing north and east winds, the
mercury was gradually climbing as
low pressure area, and its attend
ant south winds, crowded upon the
icy stage.
Snow and rain accompanied ris-
ing temperatures.
The chill of Sub-zero tempera-
lures CONCEALED the nation today
as fresh Arctic blasts were predict
ed after a brief respite from the
severe cold.
The constant cold weather which
has been unabated in many areas
for nearly 10 days increased dis
tress already acute due to unem-
ployment.
Four scantily clad men dropped
unconscious in Chicago streets ano
died of exposure. Firemen who
answered 1875 alarms in little
more than "a hours worked with
extreme difficulty. Their booteo
feet froze in the pavement as they
piled hose lines.
Sub-zero weather in the south
west endangered food supplies Of
Indians on Oklahoma reservations
Senator Elmer Thomas sought fed
eral permission to allow the In
dians to revert to their native food
supply by killing buffalo and elk
in the Wichita game preserve.
In Quebec, Canada, where the
temperature dropped to low OF
Al below zero, Premier Tascherau
denied statements that 10000 per-
sons in the GaSpe region faced
starvation. He said suffering ex-
listed in Gaspe as in other districts
but declared the province was act
ing to relieve distress.
Virtually all parts of the coun-
try with the exception of Florida
were affected by the cold. Phoe-
nix, Arizona, had the first snow in
25 years. Frosts were reported in
Los Angeles suburbs. The central
great plains area had tempera-
lures ranging to 20 below zero
Gulf ports reported temperatures
below freezing as did Texas points

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO, March 16 A).-In
this city early last November, after an
interview with Col. Robert Isham Ran
dolph, then president Of the Chicago
Association of Commerce, telling of the
organization and operation of the ia
nous Secret SIX" that had aided in
getting evidence upon which the Gov
ernment sentenced "Al" Capone, a lead
ing crime investigator said:
But it is not merely the crimes grow
ing out Of bootlegging and racketeering
that provide the great menace to the
every reason to believe the reign of ter
ror OF kidnapping gangs is spreading. No
city is safe"
Six weeks later Kansas City was
shaken by the kidnapping of Mrs. Nell
Donnelly. And now the Lindbergh case
has aroused the United States.
How can the kidnapers' challenge be
met? What is the country going to
do?
Frank J. Loesch, 7s-year-old presi-
dent of the Chicago Crime Commission,
a member of the Wickersnam Commis-
sion appointed to study law enforce
ment, recently returned from Washing
ton, where he conferred with congress
sional committeeman on the Patterson
Cochran bills that would make kidnap-
ing Federal offense.
Mr.. Loesch advocated action by pri-
vate citizens In cooperation with police
and Government agents. He would set
up a sort of super-secret six, Nation
wide, with the stamping out of kidnap-
ings as its principal objective.
Duty Of the Government.
Col. Randolph, while still active head
Of the Secret Six" and while indorsing
the purpose of the Patterson-Coch
bills, does not believe the Federal Gov
eminent should require the services OF
any organization of private citizens and
secret committees in its war on crime.
We cannot transcend the functions
Of Government without getting into dire
trouble" Col. Randolph said.
I don't believe any plan for ma
tional anti-crime association Of citizens
would be either popular or practicable.
Too many Of our Congressman would
feel 1t would tend to take governmental
powers from the States.
But hope all States will give en-
phatic support to Federal law making
kidnapping punishable by death. Thus
lar understand only Missouri and Illi-
nois have laws fixing the death penalty
for kidnapers.
1T would be great aid to all crime
detection organizations if we got more
cooperation from the Government.
Too often there are localities In certain
States in which the underworld works
with State and county peace officers.
We even know Of sheriffs on the pay roll
OF gangsters. What aid do you suppose
our investigators get in such localities? ?''

JAPANESE PREMIER
IS HOME MINISTER
Inukai Takes Over Portfolio
of Resigned Member of
Cabinet.

By the Associated Press
TOXIC, March 16.-Premier Tsuyoshi
1nukai temporarily assumed the port
folio OF home minister is his cabinet
today following the resignation of Home
Minister Tokugoro Nakahaski yesterday.
The appointment of Kisaburo Suzuki,
minister of justice, to the home minis
ter's post, which was forecast yesterday,
was blocked by opposition in the cab
met
The assumption Of the portfolio by
the premier was intended to prevent
smoldering antagonisns within the
Seiyukai party from breaking out into
actual conflict, at least until the special
session Of Parliament, which Is soon to
open, closes.
In political circles the consensus was,
however, that the matter was merely
postponed. A reshuf1ing Of the cabinet
was considered likely to follow the short
parliamentary session, with the posi-
bility Of renewal of the movement for
a national cabinet, including the strong
est leaders of all parties, to lead the
empire through critical period in
domestic and international affairs.
In spite of the huge parliamentary
majority the Seiyukai Won in the Feb
ruary elections, its weaknesses crop out
whenever high offices are to be filled
and its numerical strength in the House
of Representatives has intensified rather
than healed the breaches which lave
persisted since the death of its former
president, Baron Tanaka, in September,
1929.
The choice Of Premier Inukai last
December was generally regarded as a
compromise because the party's strong
est men, such as Suzuki and Takejiro
Tokonani, were unable to compose their
rivalries.

Tombs Prisoner Quizzed.
A story told by Charles Oliver, In
mate of the Tombs Prison in New YORK
| CITY. led to a hasty investigation last
night, but at its conclusion police were
far from excited. They were inclined
to speculate on the effect confinement
has on the imagination. .-
Oliver, who is also known as Fltz
gerald, told authorities that one VIII
liam Gleason proposed to him late II
1880, while they were both In the Hud'
son County Penitentiary, that they klo.
nap the Lindbergh infant and give II
to Mrs. Catherine Danusek to mind.
Gleason, confronting Oliver in Jersey
CITY. denied the story. Mrs. Danusek
described as Gleason's landlady, Was
questioned at length, but police indi-
Gated they merely wanted to find out
what she knew of the two men. Shs
was released.
Gleason was described by police as
friendly to followers of Owney Madden
former New York gangster. Oliver, de-
scribed as Chicago man with record,
was the prisoner interviewed mystic
riously In the Ton1bs last week by
Morris Rosner, undercover man In the
Lindbergh case.
Berg Is Eliminated.
Joseph Fishman, deputy commission
er of corrections of New York, ex-
pressed the belief divers story was i'm
portant enough to be taken seriously.
Elimination of Frank H. Berg jr.,
from consideration was announced by
COL H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of
the State police Berg was arrested,
but freed In 1925 after Max Phillips,
collar magnate, said an attempt had
been made to lure him aboard Berg S

Police checked and eliminated a tip
from John Vannerman, now in PasSaic
County Jail, that he heard three men
plotting the kidnapping in Yonkers
N. Y, restaurant. Other clues came
! to naught.
| Detectives, it was learned, have now
reached the conclusion that no woman
