bills affecting Northern Virginia's re-
lations with the Federal Government
were passed this afternoon by the
House of Delegates. One was the
boundary line bill and the other the
port Of authority bill.
The port of authority bill provides
for the appointment Of q port authority
for Alexandria, Arlington County and
the District OF Columbia and is COM
panion bill to one already introduced
in the Federal Congress.
1t provides that the Governor shall
officially appoint the Arlington County
and Alexandria members Of the port
authority, who would serve with the
District OF Columbia members. The
authority would be permitted to ad-
vertise the advantages of the ports of
the three localities and make such rules
and regulations as are essential to their
proper operation.
The boundary line bill was introduced
in an effort to effect an agreement be-
tween the Federal Government and
Arlington County with respect to the
ownership of and political jurisdiction
of a portion of Arlington County lying
near the Virginia end of the Highway
Bridge. The bill authorizes the Gov
ernor to appoint one member, who

pointed by the first two.

NILES, Ohio, March 5.-Twelve-
year-old James De Jute, jr., was safe
at home tonight and his two alleged
abductors were in jail.
Trembling and afraid, but still keep
ing up his boyish courage, Jimmie was
found unharmed today hidden in a
secret tunnel in an abandoned gam
bling resort and liquor storehouse near
Youngstown. He was rescued just rs
hours after two men spirited him away
from a Niles street while on his way
to school Wednesday.
Authorities said the two men ar
rested with him, John De Marco, 80,
and Dowell Hargraves, 27, both of
Youngstown, admitted they were the
kidnapers. De Marco was taken to
the city jail at Warren and Hargraves
to the county jail there. They were
ordered held for investigation while Of
ficers questioned them.
The happy ending to the kidnapping,
which occurred only few hours after
the theft of the Lindbergh baby, over

reputed to be one of the wealthieSt
men in Niles, and his wife.

only about money"

TRENTON, N. j., March S.
Master minds of criminal investi-
cation from IL States and the Dis
trict of Columbia gathered today
around a conference table in the
office of Gov. A. Harry Moore in
the State House, smoked big cigars
as detectives sometimes do, and
worked out program for tracking
down the kidnapers of Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, jr.
1t was a conference without
precedent in the history of Ameri-
can criminology. Department of
Justice operatives, secret service
agents, private detectives and
celebrated police criminal inveSti-
gators who have cracked" some
of the country's major crimes in
the last decade were gathered to-
gether for the first time with but
one objective-solution of the mys-
terious abduction of the Lindbergh
baby.
Out of the epoch making session
will come a centralized and Sys-
tematic Nationwide search for
the famous child-a man-hunt
without a parallel.
Two Main Objectiyes.
The program, adopted at the close of
a two-hour review of the known details
Of the kidnapping. has two main objec-
tives. First and foremost Is the return
OF the baby to its parents alive. Secon-
dairy in Importance, the investigators
placed the capture of the abductors.
Headquarters of the New Jersey State
police in Trenton, viii serve as the CEN
tral investigating burean. 1t will be
the clearing house for clues, informa-
tion and publicity on developments In
the investigation.
Police officials of each of the II
States and the District pledged their
cooperation in adhering to the pro-
gram. The Department Of Justice will
use its entire resources in aiding the
hunt. The famous Burns and Pinker-
ton private detective agencies also
promised assistance.

Hope was expressed that Gov Moore
would pave the way for carrying out
such plan by naming a person, in
whom the kidnapers most likely would
nave confidence, to act as an agent for
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh in
the negotiations.
No promise of immunity from arrest
can legally be made, it was pointed out,
SO some medium of making a contact

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 6
(Sunday) In a third dramatic
appeal to kidnapers of their baby
son, Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh early today named two
men labeled underworld charac-
ters by New York newspapers to
act as "go-betweens" in negotiat-
ing the child's return.
A signed plea from the Lind
berghs said they authorized
"Salvy" Spitale and Irving Bitz
to deal with the abductors if they
"are unwilling to deal direct with
US"
The Lindbergh statement, as
sent to State police headquarters
in Trenton from here, said:
'If the kidnaperS of our child
are unwilling to deal direct We
fully authorize 'Salvy' Spitale and
Irving Bitz to act as our go-be-
tween. We also will follow any
other method suggested by the
kidnapers that we can be sure
will bring the return of our child.
CHARLES A. LINDBERGH.
CANINE LINDBERGH."
Records Are Revealed.
Available newspaper files showed that
Salvatore Spitale had figured in the
police investigation of the shooting OF
she late Jack LEGS" Diamond in the
Hotel Monticello, in New York, October
u, 1890. Spitale's name also was pro-
dected into the investigation OF the slay-
ang of Diamond last December in Al
bany, but he was not arrested In eltner
case.
Police arrested Spitale, known to the
underworld as beer baron" for homl-
eide, in 1928, in New York, but he SUD-
sequently was discharged.
irving Bitz was convicted in 1926 OF
violating the Harrison narcotic act and
sentenced to year and day In Fed
eral prison.
A radio appeal and signed state
ment emphasizing their only interest
was the immediate and safe return OF
their 20-month-old son had been is
sued previously by the Lindberghs and
Their latest statement was taken to
indicate they had had no communica-
ton with the kidnapers, who left be-
hind a ransom note demanding S50,000
when the child was seized Tuesday
night.
A report that Spitale was in secret
conference with police at New York
headquarters was neither confirmed nor
denied by officials there.

Henry (Red) Johnson, Englewood, n

until 11:30 tonight, at which time lt
was said an expected development had

Two possible links in the case were

basis for OBTAINING Johnson, friend

One of these clues was milk bottle

used by New Jersey dairy, found in
Johnson's green coupe in which he said
he arrived at brothers home in West

The other was the disclosure that the
