Highway Commissioners
Are Fearful of Fate in
Special Session.

Fearful Of their fate at the hands
of the legislators at the special seS-
sion called for July 7, state high
way commissioners have called a
halt on the monthly hearings on
new road projects.
For some time it has been the
commission policy to hold open
house for state delegations the third
Wednesday of each month.
These will be abandoned until
after the legislature meets, it was
announced by Ralph Simpson, as
siStant state highway director.
Decision to cancel further public
hearings was made by commission
ers at their meeting Friday after
noon.
1t is expected the legislature will
take huge slices of state highway
department funds and divert them
for road usage in local communities.
Recommendation that this be
done has come from the citizens
committee for special session legis-
lation, the joint senate and house
committees, and even has been
written into the Republican state
platform.
William Cosgrove, assistant audi
tor of state and a Democrat, an
nounced recently that he is pre-
pairing a bill which will take half
of the Accent gasoline tax for local
use. Only 1 cent now is diverted,
the other 3 cents going for high
way department use. The budget
this year was estimated at approx
mately $24,OOO,O00, which is the
largest in the departments history.
Commissioners took no action Fri

Youth Kidnapped, Bound to
Railroad Tracks.

By United Press
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., June
11.-A New York bound Pennsylva-
MIA railroad train came to sud-
den stop in Highland Park today,
only a few feet from the spot
where Michael Haleluk, II, was
struggling to free himself from
ropes that held him to the tracks.
The youth had attempted to free
himself since late Friday night,
when three bandits robbed the j. j.
Newberry store, where he was en-
ployed, kidnapped him and carried
him to the tracks, bound hand and
foot.
It tugged on the ropes until I
got one hand free" the youth said.
ANY second I feared a train would
come at me. Then when I was al
most free, I saw the train ap-
preaching"
But from a distance Motorman
Harry Bartlett discerned the figure
of the youth. He damned on the
brakes in time.

hands.
I'm sure poor Violet knew moth
ing about the matter" the mother
said, referring to the fact that hel
daughter had been under suspicion
in the Lindbergh kidnapping. "She
never mentioned any boy friends in
any of her letters. She was one OF
the incest girls you could meet any
where and she would have given me
her last shilling if I needed it."
Violet's sister Emily, who went
to America with her three years
ago, and who returned in April for
a visit with her parents, was at
the home of a married sister in
Sourbridge, Worcestershire, and re-
fused to see callers. Her father
sent word for her to return to the
family home at once,
At Stroubridge, Emily secluded

Instead of playing with dolls, she
had for pets the ponies at the park

And how she tackled the job of
making a success of the concession!
Long hours and hard work? Yes,
but, as Gladys remarked today:
This is life. I wouldn't give my
