State does not extend beyond the State
boundaries.
Witnesses Inundated.
A part OF the program of the kid
naping racketeer Is to intimidate wit
neSSeS by threats against the witness
himself or against his family. The re-
suit Is that witnesses will refuse TO go
to another State to testify, for fear they
will arouse the wrath of the cruel
racketeer who will visit his vengeance
upon such witness or his loved ones.
This situation emphasizes the impor-
lance of the Government. both State
and National, exercising all OF its pow
ers to suppress these outrageous crimes
The kidnapping of Col. and Mrs. Lind
berghs baby has forcefully accentuated
the necessity of using all Of the powers
of the Government in combating these
crimes.
The bill which introduced. denounc-
ing kidnapping as Federal offense, was
referred to the Committee on Judiciary
in the Senate, and Senator Norris,
chairman. promptly appointed a sub
committee consisting of Senators Wat
erman Of Colorado. Schall Of Minnesota
and Nicely of West Virginia, to consider
the bill.
Passage Recommended.
The subcommittee has recommended
the passage of the bill to the Judiciary
Committee I do not think that there
is any serious opposition to this needful
legislation 1t is my opinion that the
only reason the bill has not been rec
commended to the Senate by the Judi
ciary Committee for favorable action is
that the Judiciary Committee has been
exceptionally busy during the present
session with the anti-injunction legis-
lation and other matters of much i'm
portance.
A companion bill to the one I in
PRODUCED in the Senate was introduced
in the House by Representative John j
Cochran of Missouri and full hearings
have been held by the committee. 1t
is my understanding that the commit
tee will make favorable recommended
ton to the House of Representatives
and am hopeful that the bill speedily
will pass Congress and become law.
The very passage Of such bill by
the Federal Government, giving juris-
diction to Federal Courts of this heinous
crime, will have a deterrent effect upon
the criminals engaged in the racket.

Challenge N. Y.
In Sub Campaign

BY simultaneously accepting the
challenge Of the Detroit district to
fulfill its quota in the Daily Worker
Sub Drive, and sending out a similar
challenge to the New York District,
Chicago during the past few days
has taken its place among the most
active districts in the campaign.
The challenge to New York, sent
by Comrade Polar, Chicago Daily
Worker representative, through the
business Office Of the Daily, urges an
immediate contest to see which dis
trict can most quickly fulfill its
complete bundle-order and sub quo
tas. 1t states, among other things,
that Chicago is. oiling its sub drive
machinery to achieve its $50 yearly
subscriptions and 1000 new bundle
orders.
The letter of challenge also dis
closes the facts that a new concen-
tration drive will shortly be begun
in the South Side of Chicago, with
special emphasis placed on news
stand sales and subs.
So far the New York District has
failed to reply to the Chicago chal-
lenge. Efforts on the part of diff
ferent sections continue as before,
with no energetic pickup in the
tempo of the drive. Word of the
acceptance of Chicago's challenge is
expected any minute, together with
a noticeable increase in activity
throughout the New York District.
