According to the report, one OF the
outstanding contributions to the relief
work was the service given by the
railroads. In addition to free trans
portation Of donated supplies, the va
rious lines reduced the freight rates by
SO percent on the national organiza-
tons bulk purchases, such as seed
potatoes and garden seed. 1t was esti-
mated that the total contribution made
by the railroads in reduced freight
rates and free hauling privileges,
reached approximately one million dol
lars.
With the exception Of donated sup
plies and limited number of bulk
purchases of flour and beans, which
were distributed in the remote Sec
tons early in the winter as precau-
tionary measure, all foodstuff were
purchased locally the report points out.
Food orders were issued seml-month-
ly or monthly by most chapters and the
organizations usual disaster policy OF
requiring beneficiaries to select their
own merchants, was followed through
out the emergency BY this method the
morale Of the communities was
strengthened because local store-keep-
ers were able to turn over their stocks
and meet their obligations, from the
Red Cross business they received.
ITO meet the needs Of drought VIC
Tins until they were able to provide
for themselves" says the official re-
port, in conclusion, THE national or
ganization furnished beneficiaries with
a day supply at the final issue OF
food orders. These supplies were not
exhausted until the early vegetables,
springing from Red Gross garden seed,

cilities had been reopened and the
stricken sections were looking ahead
to better days
In a combined drought fund appeal
and Red Cross membership campaign

suit that Montana now stands first and
North Dakota second among all the

NAZIS ISSUE APPEAL
FOR HITLER ELECTION
Call for Day of Reckoning Against
What Is Described as Mis-
rule of Republic.

BY the Associated Press.
MUNICH, Germany, March 2.-Adolf
Hitler's National Socialist headquarters
issued an election appeal today lauding
Hitler as Germany's savior and calling
for day of reckoning against what it
described as the "misrule of the re-
public"
Accusing the government Of having
suppressed the "Naz liberation move
ment," it asked the voters to mete out
punishment in the election on March
13. Strong terms were used in the doc
ument. The Social Democrats were
branded as "traitorous knaveS" and the
Catholic Centrists were called "hypo-
critics" and grave-diggers of the Ger
man people"
The Jews, the statement said, were
pseudo Democrats, inciting Germans
against each other with poisonous
press, to profit by their discord." With
out specifying names, the opposition
was called money bag patriots, fun
keys, henchmen of opportunists and
proflteers.
Young Germany will arise on election
day, the statement predicted, on the
second anniversary of the signing OF
the Young plan by President Won Hin

.LUNAT|C'S SCHEME
SEEN IN KIDNAPPING
Head of "Secret Six" Says
No Big-Time Criminal
Would Attempt 1t.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 2.-Col. Robert
Isham Randolph, head of Chicago's IA
nous Secret Six" said today he was
convinced that the kidnaping Of Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, Sd, was the act
of an insane person.
Two years of running down k1dnap-
ers from coast to coast have convinced
him, Col Randolph said, that mo or
ganized gang of kidnapers ever would
attempt such crime" There is nothing
for authorities to do in the case, he
added, until ransom demands are made
or other clues uncovered.
There are lots of kidnapping gangs
with enough facilities to carry out the
job Col. Randolph said, but none OF
them is brainless enough to try II.
They know that the whole country
would be looking for them-and That
the man who few the Atlantic alone
wouldn't be an easy victim.
"Organized kidnapers are looking for
easy victims-not for children whose
fathers are world heroes. They Prey
largely on gamblers, bootleggers, and
other criminals whose personal affairs
prevent them from calling the law to
their aid
The fact that no extortion demands
were made before the kidnapping also in
dicate the Lindbergh baby abduction is
the work of a demented person, Col.
Randolph said.
All that could possibly be done for
the present to get the child back safely
apparently has already been done" Col.
Randolph said. Highways are being
guarded and persons with knowledge OF
the Lindbergh home undoubtedly are
being investigated
He expressed belief that the child
soon will be returned, pointing out that
the resources of the entire Nation can
readily be devoted to the case.
If it appears that any of the gangs
which the Secret Six" has traced is
responsible, Randolph said, then the
facilities and agents of that organiza-
ton will be available Immediately to aid
in the search.
This case certainly is an argument
for the bill now before Congress making
kidnapping Federal offense and death
the penalty" Col. Randolph added.

Similar Bill Pending,
Another bill is before Congress trans

1t was introduced by Representative
Cochran of Missouri and hearings were
held on it last week by the House
Judiciary Committee. Chairman Sum-
