and had photostatic copies of it sent
to experts at the state house in Bos-
ton.
In it the commissioner believed he
had the first tangible clue of the
search that began just an hour behind
the kidnapping of Margaret Tuesday
afternoon. Then, suddenly early
Thursday state police turned their
attention to other angles OF the
search.
The road gangs story met almost
as sudden death.
State officers, however, seemed con-
yinced that Margaret and her kid
napers were hidden somewhere on
Cape Cod. They felt certain that
some one of the sandy beaches that
stretched for miles along both sides
of the cape held the secret to the
child's whereabouts.
Needham, who was on the scene
taking personal charge of the inves-
tigation, ordered 80 additional state
troopers to the hunt.
Meanwhile, Neil c. McMath, the
girls father, issued statement from
the family home assuring the kid
napers of immunity and any reason
able sum of money for the safe return
Of his daughter. A 48-hour truce was
declared by police to permit the alb
ductors to make safe contact with
McMath. But early Thursday there
was no indication that any attempt
had been made by the kidnapers to
communicate with the child's parents

LEGION COMMANDER
hits DOUGLAS FOR
FRENZ|ED SLASHES
Charges RooseveIt's Aides Have
Gone Beyond Promises
BY Spokesman

Indianapolis, May 4.-(R)-LouiS
johnson, national commander of the
American Legion, Thursday assailed
what he termed "frenzied application
of the economy knife in cutting We
terans' benefits, and urged the legion
executive committee to adopt a four
point permanent policy on national
legislation affecting veterans.
He told the committee In annual
session at national headquarters here
that those to whom President Roose-
welt has entrusted administration OF
the economy act have gone far be-
yond what his spokesman in congress
promised would be the extreme limit
Of the burden to be imposed upon the
veterans"
AS a policy which he said he dared
hope the legion might follow honor
ably and with an assurance of united
public support in the future the
commander suggested:
Equal treatment for veterans, wi
dows and orphans of all wars; per-
manent classification of benefits;
adequate provision for all veterans
with war service connected disabili-
ties without regard to their financial
status, and recognition that incapa-
citated veterans without means OF
support are wards of the federal gov
eminent and not Of local public OF
private charity.
Commander Johnson said many OF
the organizations suggestions re-
garding the economy act regulations
had been disregarded, and charged
Lewis w. Douglas, director of the
budget, and his advisers with "wanton
recklessness" in extending the new
law beyond all reasonable and hui
name bounds"

Saws 3O-HOur Week
Would Hurt Industry

Washington, May 4.-(P-Robert
P. Lamont, president Of the Amert-
can Iron and Steel Institute, told the
house labor committee Thursday that
application of the proposed 30-hour
work week to the steel industry would
'in many cases lead to the closing
of plants and consequent unemploy-
ment."
Lamont was secretary of commerce
under President Hoover.
"The iron and steel industry IS
anxious to cooperate with the gov
eminent in any sound plan to In
crease employment and purchasing
power" he said, "and I believe In
this emergency it can be effectively
done by government board or coun-
Gil appointed by the president, sup
ported by small group Of industrial
leaders-also appointed by the presi-
dent-and working through industry
as now organized"
Further, Lamont asserted, the 30
hour bills proposed would not no
ticeably increase employment or buy
ing power in the steel industry but
would increase costs and selling
prices to an extent that would dry
up markets, encourage imports Of
iron and steel and the use Of substi-
tute materials.

Tokyo, May 4.-LP)-Viscount Kuki-
jiro Ishii left Thursday for his con-
ferences with President Roosevelt to
defend Japan's role as a primary
defender of the peace of the orient"
and to urge American recognition Of
Manchukuo.
The 67-year-old statesman also is
prepared to defend the Japanese con-
quest of Manchuria and establishment
Of the Manchukuo government.
Accompanying the viscount are Eigo
Kukai, vice governor Of the Bank Of
Japan, and seven advisers and secre-
taries. They went by train to Yoko-
hama, whence, they sailed for the
United States.
Before leaving, Viscount 1shii told
a representative of the Associated
Press that his role at the white house
talks and later at the world economic
conference in London would be pri-
marily political.
Probably the first and most vital
task he will have in. Washington,
Ishii said, will be to learn from
President Roosevelt Just how far and
tn what directions the idea of con-
sultative pact to employ the Kellogg
BRAND peace treaty developed in the
presidents talks with Prime minister
Macdonald Of Great Britain and
former Premier Herriot of France.
In view Of special conditions in the
orient" where Japan considers her

China and Russia, they said, the mat

PETITIONS FOR NEW
BEER PLAN CIRCULATE

Two sets of petitions, one for ini-
tiation of a new beer law. and the
other urging Governor William LANCER
to call q special election to vote on
the proposal, were placed IN circula-
ton here Thursday.
The proposed beer law, providing
for sale of the beverage by any legi-
innate business establishment, would
repeal the beer act enacted by the re-
cent legislature. The legislative act
provides for sale through municipal
~ controlled liquor stores.
A. G. Sundfor, Fargo, president OF
the newly organized Association for
Legalizing Sale of Beer, and nine 9TH
ers who comprise the organization's
executive committee, are listed on the
beer petitions as the committee OF
petitioners.
The other petition is addressed tc
Governor William LANCER asking him
to call special statewide election
"at the earliest day possible for thu
purpose of providing quick and eff.
fective means by which the voters
of the state may express their wishe!
with reference to the enactment Of
the initiated law proposed by the Or
ganization for Legalizing the Sale OF
Beer in North Dakota"
I'VE believe" the petition says
1.-THE interest aroused, and the in
crease of revenue that will come tc
the state from the passage Of this
act, will justify the expense Of a spe-
cial election"

h|DWESTERNER IS
VIRTUALLY CHOSEN
FARM PLAN CHER
George Peek Of Moline, ILL.,, Ap-
pears Man to Admins
trate New Program

Washington, May 4.-P)-George
Peek of Moline, ILL.,, virtually has been
decided on as chief administrator OF
the sweeping farm measure now near
final passage by congress.
Peek, a farm equipment manufac-
turer and long student of agricul-
tural problems, participated in thu
white house conference Wednesda,
night on application OF the bill design
ed to raise the price of farm COM
modities.
AS chief administrator, tremendous
responsibility would devolve upon
Peek in executing policies decided or
in an attempt to lift farm prices.
In addition, his position, If he Is
named, as now seems certain, will put
upon him the burden Of handling such
details as the calling of commodity
councils and other steps preliminary
to application of the measures ex-
tensive discretions.
Plans for putting the measure into
operation were proceeding rapidly
Thursday while a committee of sena-
tors and representatives conferred at
the capitol seeking to reconcile diff
ferences between the farm bills pass
ed by the senate and house. Belief
was expressed the bill would become
law next week.
Peek was Republican until 1928.
In that year he supported Alfred E.
Smith and worked in the middle-west-
ern farm belt. He also supported
President Roosevelt last year. A prime
factor in his break with the Repub-
lican party was the attitude of Presi-
dents Coolidge and Hoover toward
the McNary- Haugen bill.
For weeks the prospective appointee
has been working with Secretary Wal
lace and other agriculture depart
ment officials to get things in shape
for quick application of the massive
bill. President Roosevelt is ready to
sign it as soon as it reaches him.
The first steps to be taken after the
bill becomes law have yet to be de-
cided.
Differences of opinion on admins
tration remain to be threshed out. The
president apparently told those who
will have the administration of the
bill to agree among themselves be-
fore they present specific plans for his
approval.
Peek, so, was chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee Of ~ farm leaders
which sought to unite farm organiza-
lions in support of a common legis-
lative program from 1924 to 1928.
During the war he served on the
was industries board. He consistently
has advocated that markets abroad
for American farm products are ex-
hausted and that the government
should make a determined drive par
ticularly in the Orient for expansion
OF its market for wheat, cotton, pork
and beef.

Copies of the bill were not available
at the capitol. final draft having lust
been sent to the printing office.
The presidents text follows:
Are Main Arteries
ITO the congress
"The steam railways still constitute
the main arteries of commerce in the
United States
AT this time, however, available
traffic is not sufficient profitably to
utilize existing railway facilities and
the supplementary facilities provided
by new forms of transportation.
"Our broad problem Is so to coordi-
nate all agencies OF transportation as
tb maintain adequate service.
| Il am not yet ready to submit to
the congress comprehensive plan for
permanent legislation.
Il do believe, however that three
emergency steps can and should be
taken at this special session of the
congress
"First, recommend the repeal Of
the recapture provisions OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission act.
"The commission has pointed out
that existing provisions are unwOrk-
able and impracticable.
Second, railway holding companies
should be placed definitely under the
regulation and control of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in like
manner as the railways themselves.
| Would Name Coordination
Third, as temporary emergency
measure, suggest the creation Of a
federal coordinator Of transportation
who, working with groups OF railroads.
will be able to encourage, promote or
require action on the part Of carriers,
in order to avoid duplication of serv-
ice, prevent waste, and encourage ft-
nancal reorganizations.
"Such coordinator should also, III
carrying out this policy, render useful
service in maintaining railroad em-
ployment at fair wage.
1.-THE experience gained during the
balance Of this year will greatly assist
the government and the carriers in
preparation for more permanent and
more comprehensive national trans
portation policy at the regular session
of the congress In 1894.
