Congress Planning
To Strengthen Law

Washington, May 13-tP)-Deep-
ly shaken at the tragedy of the
Lindbergh baby's end, the nations
legislators strove Friday to throw
a barrier of stern federal law in
the way of future kidnapers.
Laws to facilitate apprehensions
of abductors and to multiply the
penalties that society may exact
for the crime, were drawn when
first the child was taken from his
home but were kept from enact
ment lest they frighten the kid
napers into committing the MUIR
der which apparently had taken
place.
With this motive gone, and in
the same breath with which they
joined high and low in expressing
grief, the congressman declared
they would see the laws passed.

afternoon Allen left the truck and
went into the brush.
Mortified at what he saw, Allen
ran back to the road and called Or
vile Wilson. When Wilson viewed
the body he said:
"What are you going to do?"
Allen said:
81 am going to notify the state
police"
The police found the shallow grave
on a slight slope. The body had
been concealed with leaves, dirt and
brush. The child's form lay face
down and the depression in which it
rested was so slight as to indicate
efforts to conceal it had been very
hurried
County Physician Charles Mitchell

the news had affected Mr.. and Mrs
Lindbergh and what plans they may
have made toward bringing the alb
ductor-killer to justice were not an
swered.
No announcement was made of
burial plans.
The report of the autopsy, per-
formed by DR.. Mitchell, county physi-
clan, was gruesome in detail. In
addition to the lower left leg, other
parts Of the body were missing due,
presumably, to decomposition, hast
ened by exposure. The left hand and
right forearm were gone, as were
some abdominal organs. The con-
clusion reached by the physician,
however, was without equivocation,
He said:
Diagnosis of the cause of death
is fractured skull due to external
violence"
Expressions of sympathy came
from every corner of the world; from
Paris to which Lindbergh, then the
"lone eagle" flew from New York
in a SINGLE uninterrupted flight;
from Washington where his feat
later was given official acclaim Of
the American people; and from ia
pan and China to which he flew with
his wife as passenger.

fact that in the hour when the world

bOTHDEMOCRAT|C
And REPUBLICAN
GROUPS TROUBLED
Former Worrying About candi-
date and Prohibition is
Bothering Latter

Washington, May 13.-(AP)-The
preconvention curtain-raiser to the
1882 campaign is ending, as it be.
gan, with the Republicans still ar.
guing what to do about prohibition
and the Democrats still disputing
what to do about candidate.
Recent developments appear ia
have deepened, if anything, the bit
terness of feeling within the parties
on these two prime questions. The
present mood of the contending fac
lions foreshadows that neither Of
the June conventions can be called
exactly a lovefeast.
Governor Roosevelt continues to
press strongly for the Democratic
nomination and so do his rivals. The
Ohio primary has stiffened the hopes
of wet Republicans and the resis-
lance of dry Republicans. And so
it goes, just a month and a day be-
fore the big two-act convention be-
gins in Chicago.
Taking into account the normal
expectancy of both sides, the DEM
ocratic no-man's-land of disputed
delegate strength is growing very
narrow. Neither the Roosevelt camp
nor the opposition, when they get
right down to counting noses, claims
any great margin Of safety. 1t
comes down to a comparatively few
delegations, most of them temper
arily pledged to favorite sons.
In actual figures, Roosevelt re-
mains so far ahead no one else is in
the same class. Of instructed,
pledged and claimed delegates chosen
to date, he has $50; James Hamilton
Lewis So; White 81; Alfred E.
Smith 46; John N. Garner A; James
A. Reed SO; Murray %; Richie 16.
On the Republican side. President
Hoover continues to pile up delegate
strength long after he has passed
the number needed to nominate, but
life as a candidate is not all roses
for him, at that. The pressure on
him to approve this or that prohibi-
ton plank grows more and more in
sistent as the convention date ap-
proaches.
It still is the plan Of most party
leaders not to 60 as far toward
modification as the Democrats do,
even though some concession may be
necessary.

Efforts at definite Identification

baby's birth was called in early Fri

earlier Identification.
Neither parent had viewed the
body up to an early hour Friday, so
far as could be learned; however, an
