NEW YORK, March 25 GN.S0
Even while the world hunts few
erishly for the kidnapped Lind
bergh infant, and equally famous
American child. Seven-year-old
Paulina Longworth, was the sub
ject of threatening letter.
A note demanding money was
received in Washington by her
mother, Mrs. Alice Longworth,
widow of the late, Nicholas Long
worth, Speaker of the House Of
Representatives, and daughter of
the late President Theodore
Roosevelt
Talented Lady"
The individuality of this second
famous child and the story of
how Mrs. Longworth, with all the
world open to her, chooses to
spend most of her time in the
nursery, are set forth in an ar
ticle entitled "Alice Sit-By-the-
Fire" appearing today in the
magazine Good Housekeeping. !"
Pretty little Paulina has an air
of dignity and independence. She
is a champion shopper. She can
ride a horse, an inheritance from
her trough rider" grandfather.
She loves to play monkey" with
her mother.
And she is an Unsuitable reader.

TAX PROGRAM
EXPECTED
MONDAY 4
"WiII Balance Budget" Says
Crisp; Special LeVies
May Be Reduced

With the manufacturers
excise tax defeated, t h e
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today decided to recon-
mend several hundred million
dollars in special excise taxes
to make up the loss.
Called into session by Acting
Chairman Crisp CD, of Georgia,
the committee named a sub
committee which will frame the
new program by Monday.
Reductions Expected
The special tax proposals may
range from 100000, 900 to $780,
900, 900. With defeat of the
manufacturers tax, which origi-
nally was expected to raise $685.
600, 900 annually, the committee
will propose reduction Of some
of the special taxes remaining
in the bill.
The subcommittee is composed
of Representatives Ragon cd,
Of Arkansas; Vinson CD, Of
Kentucky; Garfield CD, of In
diana; Hawley (R0, of Oregon,
and Treadway (RO, of Massachu-
sets Crisp said:
"We will report a program
to balance the budget"

Crisp passed over Representative
Doughton Cd of North Carolina,
one of the leaders of the oppoSi-
ton to the bill. Doughton
yesterday refused Crisp'S offer to
surrender leadership on the bill
to him.
Calls Levy Unfair
The committee will recommend
a reduction of a proposed tax of
four cents gallon on lubricating
Oil as a result of the sales tax
defeat. Crisp said the levy would
be unfair under the circum.
stances.
AS the House resumed the tax
IlgnC today, Representative Cullen
Cd of New York, prepared to
make a fight for a tax on 2.75
beer. The House also was ex-
pected to reach a vote on the
foreign oil excise tax before

the manufacturers sales tax was
made public today by Representa-
tive LaGuardia (R.) of New York,
leader of the opposition.
The LaGuardia plan, approved
by some members of the opposi-
ton forces, calls for $685., 900, 900
in special levieS to help raise the
81 ,096, 100000 needed to balance
the budget.

NURSES HUNT
LEADS To
BODY
Young Woman Patti mt FIees
Sanitarium in Paiamas;
Sister of Missionary

The body of Miss Marjorie
G. Van Dyne, 80, of II West
Kirke St., Chevy Chase, Md,
was found today in Sligo
Creek, not far from the Sligo
bridge which recently col
lapsed.
She was a patient at the
Washington Sanitarium, at
Takoma Park, and apparently
slipped away from the insti-
tuition about 5 o'clock this
morning, while the night nure
was out of her room for a
few minutes. She was being
treated for nervous disorder.
Miss Van Dyne threw coat
over her pajamas and evidently
walked down the hill to the
creek, where she fell or lay down
in the water. An inquest will
be held today,
Attendant Finds Body
DR.. Daniel H. Kress, of the
sanitarium staff, who was in
charge of Miss Van Dyne's treat
ment, was notified of her dis
appearance a few minutes after
she had gone, and the entire
staff was sent on hunt for
her.
More than two hours elapsed,
however. before the body was
found. It was discovered by one
Of the male attendants.
DR.. KreSs said there we're no
marks on the body. He will issue
a certificate of suicide.
Miss Van Dyne is survived by
her mother and a sister, the lat
ter a missionary, who returned
to Chevy Chase only yesterday
and who had not seen Miss Van
Dyne since her arrival.
Father In Tragedy
Miss Van Dyne's father met
a tragic death during the World
War.
He disappeared mysteriously
from an ocean liner while return
ing to this country from France,
where he had served as Amer
lean consul.
1t was believed he jumped to
his death through a stateroom
portfolio as the result of a
nervous breakdown caused by
overwork during the stress of war
times,

GANG CHIEF:
ENTITLED
LIQUOR
RUNNER .
Informant Says FIeisher Had
Baby Aboard and Asked
Him for Compass
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
Copyright. 1882, International
News Service)

NEW YORK, March 25
(LN.S.). - Harry Fleischer,
reputed leader of "the Purple
Gang" of Detroit, who is being
hunted in connection with the
Lindbergh kidnapping mystery,
was positively identified from
a photograph today as one of
three men seen aboard a cabin
cruiser in which was a crying
baby on the day after the
crime.
The cruiser was plowing aim.
lessly 80 miles off Scotland Light,
which stands about five miles
off Sandy Hook.
The identification was made in
the office of international News
Service by a rum runner who
had brought his own craft up
close to the cabin cruiser, which
had hailed him. One of the men
aboard the cruiser said they had
broken their compass and offered
$l00 for the rum runners COM
pass.
Baby Cries Heard
A baby, inside the cabin, cried
loudly as the spokesman of the
cruiser was talking with the rum
runner. The infants cries threw
the spokesman into the greatest
excitement and, slamming down
the hatch so the baby could not
be seen, he ordered the rum
runner to
"shove Off-and beat it
quick!"
Not only did the rum-runner
identify Fleischer, but he also
picked out from the photographs
another man whom Col. H. Nor
man Schwarzkopf, head of the
New Jersay state police, is also
seeking for questioning in the
Lindbergh baby kidnapping. This
other man was seen on an ocean
going schooner an hour before
the rum-runner came in contact
with the cabin cruiser that con-
tained the baby and the three
men.
Norfolk Clue Fits In
The cruiser, when the rum.
runner left it, was drifting in a
Southerly direction. This informa.
ton dovetails significantly with
the latest police clue, namely,
that the baby is aboard a boat
somewhere in Chesapeake Bay,
near Norfolk, Va, in the hands Of
kidnapers who are reported to be
willing to turn the infant over to
representatives Of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh. The informant said:
81 am 100 per cent positive of
the Identification of both men,"
Before he was shown the photo
graphs, he insisted he would not
make any Identification unless
he was absolutely sure.
The rum runner who made
the identificationS pointed out
that there is a back road leading
almost from Hopewell, N. j., the
Lindbergh home, to Atlantic
Highland, N. j., which highway
is seldom Travelled, except by boot
leggers. He made it clear it
would have been easy for the
kidnapers to have taken the
baby by automobile to a boat

NOTE.
TYPEWRITER
LOCATED
Machine Found in Downtown
Office; Police Act in Case
With Great Secrecy
PICTURES ON PAGE 81.

1t was authoritatively
learned today that a type
writer on which notes were
written to Mrs. Alice Roose-
welt Longworth and Sir Will
mott Lewis, threatening the
kidnapping of Willmott Lewis,
jr., and Paulina Longworth,
has been located in a down.
town office building.
This phase of the case was
guarded with the utmost
secrecy by police and Inspec-
tor Frank s. W. Burke would
neither confirm nor deny it.
It was also learned today that
a direct telephone wire had been
installed at this office building,
awaiting the arrival OF the
author of the threatening notes.
Worry over the threatened kid
naping of her son has left Lady
Lewis in a nervous state border
ing on collapse.
Sir Willmott said:
Lady Lewis has been wrought.
up to q high pitch of nervous
ness because of these threats.
It is only natural that she is
worried, the same as any mother
would be. 1t is quite possible
she will never fully recover from
it until our son has grown up.
There will probably always be a
constant fear of a recurrence of
such a case as this"
Two carefully laid traps failed
to enmeSh the extortionists, but
police were hopeful the promised
note might furnish clue that
would result in arrests.
Others Get Notes
While police are interested prin-
cipally in the threatening notes
received by the Lewis and Long
worth families, they admitted to-
day a number of other persons
here have received such letters.
Ben Lyon and his wife, Bebe
Daniels, movie stars; Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford, superin-
tendent of police, and Edward l..
Hillyer, vice president of the
Union Trust Company, are among
those threatened.
No particular significance was
attached to the notes received by
the movie stars and Mr.. Hillyer,

A YOU have only seen the beginning of it.
Our estimable Representatives in Congress as
sembled are going to fix things so that the coun-
try will experience REAL depression from
now on
They are going to increase the confiscatory
provisions of the income taxes.
Mr.. Hoover has been urging the people not to
hoard.
The public has been besought to spend money
as freely as they can possibly afford.
Those with money have been advised if they
have some repairing or building to do to do it
NOW and so relieve unemployment.
They have been told if they need any clothing
or furnishings or comforts or luxuries of any
kind, to buy them NOW and stimulate trade.
We have been asked to turn in the old auto
mobile and buy new one
we nave been urged to patronlze the shops
and the theaters, to keep money in circulation
and to maintain employment to the best of our
means.
MOST of us have tried to do this, but we can
AVA not do it any longer. We have got to save
every dollar from now on for the income tax
collector, and for the fines and interest and as
sessments and I'M Justices which he will impose.
We have got to cut down on the butcher and
the baker and the candlestick maker.
We will have to use the old automobile and
wear the old suits.
We will have to relinquish those pretty things
selves and the family.
We will have to get along with the old house
and postpone the painting job for another year
or two.
We will have to patch up the old furniture and
dispense with all luxuries and even comforts.
We will have to give up some amusements md
abandon that trip or vacation we had been in
tending to take with the "folks," and we will
have TO SAVE EVERY DOLLAR TO GIVE
TO THE GOVERNMENT.
CONGRESS has made saving not only habit
~ but a necessity.
Congress has made boarding COMPULSORY.
Smart boys, those radical Congressman of
ours!
They are going to have the country lift itself
right out of it's troubles by it's bootstraps.
Clever chaps, those disciples of Lenin and
Stain in the Government at Washington.
They are going to tax the country into pros
perity.
They are going to make the country wealthy
by stopping the spending of money
They are going to improve business by de-
creasing business.
They are going to relieve unemployment by
relieving those. that are now employed of their
jobs.
They are going to give all the money to the
Government, so that the only people who will
have any jobs will be Government employees.
If after the tax collectors turn your pockets
inside out, nobody has any money to build with,
how are the building trades going to keep en-
ployed?
IF NOBODY has any money left to spend at the
shops how are the clerks and salespeople to
keep employed?

Following is the explanation Of
Ripley's Believe 1t or Not" which
appeared in Saturdays Times.
The Man Who Defeated Ger
many-General Sir John Mon
ash, commander of the Australian
forces, has been established as
the true conqueror of both Hin
denburg and Ludendorff, through
a verdict of the parliamentary
court of inquiry in the German
reichstag after the war. The
Germany leaders testified that
Germany's BLACK Day" was Aug.
s, when the Australians, COM
manded by Sir John, broke the
German lines near Peronne, driv-
ing a hole twelve miles wide into
the German front.
In Hindenburg's "Out of MY
Life" and Ludendorff's MY War
Memories" both reiterate that it
was that break through" which
decided the war and finally caused
them to abandon all hopes of VIC
tory. "On Aug. 8, even the kaiser
realized that the fate of the Ger
man nation had been decided and
the war could no longer be won"
For the proud military caste Of
Germany, it was a bitter pill to
swallow, when they realized that
the author of Germany's Black
Day" was Sir John Monash, a.
Melbourne business man, and a
non-profesSional soldier.
