TROOPS SEARCH
FOR LOST BABY
20-Months -0Id Boy Feared
Victim of Degenerate;
Gone Five Days.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
MINNEAPOLIS, July IA A hag-
gard, young father searched with
national guardsmen today for his
son, Leslie Delano, 20 months old,
missing five days and feared kid
mapped.
1he child disappeared while play
ing at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Ray Delano, Columbia
Heights, a suburb.
Guardsmen in airplanes scanned
the swamplands on theN outskirts of
the suburb with field glasses, but
police gave up the theory that the
baby might have wandered away.
Their questioning of witnesses re-
vealed theories that the child had
been abducted by degenerate or
had been taken away dead by a
hit-and-run driver.
Delano walked head down be-
tween the two officers of the militia.
Mrs. DENIAL was reported in bed.
The usual flood of queries came
from police officers of Minnesota,
the Dakotas and Wisconsin, and
told of strangers seen with chill
dren answering the description of
Leslie.
Questioning of 13-year-old Leo
Manthey, a neighbor, continued as
police sought further details of his
story that he saw the child more
than a block from its home and
heard Mrs. Delano calling him.
Leo's story indicated the baby
was in the neighborhood one hour
after its mother last had seen it
in its sand box at the side Of the
house.
No ransom notes have been re-
ceived.
Today's hunt was the fifth organ
lied search. Previously, Boy Scouts
and police had conducted building
by-building searches of the suburb.

Relief Tied to Home Loans
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Sal Writer


WASHINGTON, July 14.-The
fate Of relief legislation today is
bound up with that of a bill pro-
viding for more loan banks and
currency expansion.
Republicans are determined that
the home loan bill shall be adopted
before adjournment, and when it
appeared for time that the house
would not act on it, the senate de-
layed appointment of relief con-
ferees.
Later, agreements were reached
sending both bills to conference to-
day, and quick action is promised
on both Of them. They may go to
the White House today.
The only other measure standing
in the way of adjournment is the
Norbeck farm relief bill to give
bounties to growers of wheat, cot
ton and hogs, passed by the senate
Wednesday. Western and southern
house members are trying to get a
promise that this measure will be
acted on before adjournment.
Relief conferees meeting this
morning have three principal
points of controversy to clear up
between the new bills passed in the
senate and the house.
The most important of these pro-
vides that hereafter all loans made
by the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration shall be reported monthly
to congress.
The provision was inserted in the
house bill when Speaker John N.
Garner broke a tie vote by favoring
it, Later Senator Robert M. La
Toilette (Rep., Wis., pointed out in
the senate that many members of
that body thought it also was in
the bill they passed, and urged SEN
ate conferees to approve it.
Several senate conferees are

81 United Press
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Con-
gressional leaders believed today
that adjournment of congress for
the summer would be possible by
Friday night, at the latest.
The s2.122,0 100000 relief bill did
not make as rapid progress as had
been anticipated. Conferees were
unable to agree during the morn
ing, but it semed probable that the
measure would be put in final form
and acted upon by the senate later
in the day.
Possibility still existed that the
home loan bank bill might be
shelVed.
The Norbeck farm relief bill also
faced an uncertain fate. Speaker
Garner said he had been informed
that President Hoover would veto
the bill if it were sent to him, so
1t may be killed in the house.

SLUMP LAID TO FAILURE
OF ECONOMIC SYSTEM
British Labor Party Official De-
clares War Debt Problem
Is Secondary Issue.

The present depression represents the
failure of the present economic system
and cannot be cured by any conven-
tional political remedy, A. Fenner
Brockway, chairman Of the Independ-
ent Labor party of Great Britain, said
at a dinner meeting held at the Ma
tional Press Club Tuesday night by a
group of national organizations with
headquarters in Washington.
The supreme task confronting the
present generation Of Americans, Mr..
Brockway declared is to build new
economic system before the present sys-
TEN goes down to chaos" The present
crisis, he said, is no mere temporary de-
preston which will be followed in the
normal course Of events by recovery
and renewed prosperity. 1t is, he said,
the failure of the present economic
system when confronted by the results
OF the mechanical revolution In in
dustry."
The problem Of the war debts, Brock
way declared, is insignificant in COM
parison with the fundamental causes of
the economic crisis. He pointed to the
present hunger march as merely por-
tent of what will happen II present
economic problems are not faced with
courage and intelligence.

lient points in the Bureau OF the
Budget estimates for the Office OF

chases by the National Capital Park

well as the new warehouse, In the
Southwest, and other structures.
