By United Press
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, March
Ernest G. Liebold, Henry Fords
missing" secretary, slept in a hotel
room guarded by a state trooper and
a "do not disturb" sign this morning,
as official and private agencies
called off a far flung search for him
instituted after he disappeared Mon
day.
Associates and friends in the Ford
organization believed Liebold had
suffered a nervous breakdown as a
result of his arduous labor in acting
as Ford's fiscal agent in the motor
manufacturers efforts to reorganize
two Detroit banks.
81 just had to get away" Liebold
explained Tuesday night. "In the
incessant grind of the last two
weeks, I have gotten only one and
one half hours sleep a night. You
can't appreciate what that means.
1 simply had to get away"
Liebold was discovered in the
hotel here, registered under the
name of w. S. Sampson. He had
been asleep for a few hours but had
gotten up to turn on the parking
lights of his car. A state trooper
recognized him.
He telephoned Ford, and then
talked to his wife.
When he awakens today he is ex-
pected to return to Detroit.
Liebold explained he left the
Dearborn laboratories of the Ford
Motor Company Monday to drive
to summer hotel in Greenbush,
Mich, to rest.
He found the hotel closed, but
was so tired he stopped along the
road and slept few hours in the
car. He then drove on to Traverse
City, arriving Tuesday morning.

itary espionage.
A ten-year prison sentence is pro-
vided for "distorting and communi-
eating to any foreign power any

garding government secrets entail a
ten-year sentence.

Amendment Provides Taxes
for Plants Owned by
MUNICIPALITIES.

Again using the fsyorite method
Of the administration to hurry
through controversial bills, the In
diana senate today suspended the
rules and passed the bill affecting
municipal ownership Of public util-
tiles The vote was 35 to 0.
Amendment making publicly
owned plants liable to state and
county taxes was adopted after
sharp debate.
Late Tuesday the senate adopted
an amendment offered by Senator
Harry M. Williams Dem, Ft.
Wayne to exempt the plants from
all taxation.
Overnight. a swing in sentiment
gave enough strength to administra-
ton senators, led by Senator An

strike out the Williams amendment
and replace the taxation section Of

Called Utility Move

This move to place all publicly
owned utilities and not from the
people," charged Williams. you
are adding to the burdens Of con-
sumers.
There is no more reason to tax
publicly plants than there is
to tax schools, public parks, and all
other property operated for the pub
lie interest"
Ketchum replied that utility
plants were not comparable TO other
kinds Of public property, and that,
despite taxation for state and
county purposes, publicly owned
plants could give service cheaper
than is being done by privately
owned utilities.
Amendment Held Unfair
Senator Walter Vermillion Dem,
Anderson, declared the movement
to tax all publicly owned plants was
to discourage further acquisitions of
plants by municipalities, and that
Ketchum's amendment was both
unfair and unnecessary"
Mayors of cities with municipal
plants and the Municipal Rights
League of Indiana fought to make
additional major changes or kill the
bill
One objective Of these groups
was to strike out sections which
vitiate the ia nous Martins
vile decision" of local unit rate
making. Another section, they claim,
would permit utilities to keep cases
in courts while rates remain at high
levels.
Stops Federal Appeals
Senator Jacob Weiss contends
that opponents are overlooking the
major factor Of benefit, which is
the definition of what is the rate
base, excluding such intangible
items as going value" and "natu-
raj resources"
Weiss succeeded Tuesday in
having his amendment, providing
for state court appeals, adopted
and he asserts that this will stop
the practice of taking rate APP
peals to federal courts, because
it provides an adequate remedy at
law in all such equity cases.
Federal court decisions and those
of the United States supreme court
have formed the perfect alibi" for
failure of the public service COM
mission to reduce rates, Weiss
pointed out.
