WAR STARTED
ON K|DNAPERS
Federal Government To Take
Action In All Cases In Effort
To End Menace.

WASHINGTON, July ID. U.P)-
The federal government today be-
gan a war to the end against kid
napers.
Agents of the department of JUS
tice throughout the country-more
feared by the underworld than
probably any other law enforcement
officers-were directed to Jump
into kidnapping cases as soon as they
break-regardless of whether vio-
lation of federal law was apparent
at the outset"
Members of any family victim
lied by eXtortionists we're urged to
get in touch Immediately with
headquarters of the department IS
bureau of investigation here or
with its regional offices. The bu-
reau promised to work with the
utmost secrecy and to devote its
first efforts to getting victims
back alive and well.
Joseph Keena, grim Tipped and
Steely eyed former cavalry officer
and member of the Cleveland crime
commission, is directing the battle
to stamp out kidnapings. As spe-
cial assistant to Attorney General
Cummings, he is charged with COM
batting all racketeering. But he
feels the kidnapping crisis is so acute
that he must devote all time to it.
"The racketeers nave challenged
us, - he said. 1--WE accept. The
federal government is equipped to
run these fellows down and Jail
them, and that's what we re going
to do. We we got to have help and
that help must come from the
people. -
Outlines Rules
Keenan, then outlined these rules
which he urged should be followed
by families from which a person
has been kidnapped:
81. Let the bureau of investiga-
ton know about the kidnapping
right away. Don't write, but tele-
phone or telegraph us. There S no
sense in giving the kidnapers one
or two days start on us.
90. Rest assured that we will
guard your secret jealously We
are going to try to establish COW
enant of secrecy with every family
that is victimized by kidnapers.
"3 If you have any advance
knowledge of the kidnapping, give
us that, too BY that I mean if
you receive threatening letters, get
in touch with federal agent
quickly.
4. Remember we are just as an
xious as you are to get the victim
back alive and we'll. That's our
first consideration. After that we
tackle the job of running down the
kidnapers.
"5. Save every scrap of evidence
you have. If the kidnapers leave
clues, don U disturb them.
go. Don't talk to friends about
the kidnapping

Placing Milk Industry On Licen-
Sc Basis Seen As Warning To
Other Bakers.
By United Press

The Roosevelt recovery program
was pushed forward on many fronts
today.
The administration put heavy
pressure on the steel industry to
submit its code of wages and hours,
following presentation of codes for
the oil, coal, construction and suit
and cloak industries, Wall Street
influences we're reported in some
quarters to be holding back the
steel code.
The public works administration
allocated $115,513,610 for federal
and municipal construction work.
This makes $753,513,610 assigned so
far from the $3,300,000,OOO fund
through which it is hoped to Gre
ate 100000 jobs by fall.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
proceeded with arrangements to
put the milk industry under license
in order to enforce fair price agree
ments. He is exercising for the first
time the drastic provision of the
recovery act which gives the gov
ernment power to drive recalcitrant
concerns out of business.
Dallace conferred with textile
manufacturers regarding the cot
ton processing tax, indicating the
cotton acreage curtailment program
will be put into effect.

administration IS order putting the
milk industry on license basis was
taken as general warning today
that the administration is ready to
use strong measures against buSi-
nesseS that balk at the terms of the
| national recovery program.
The recovery administration
hoped the avalanche OF industrial
codes showered down in the last "a
hours would speed up a number of
tagging industries, particularly the
great basic steel industry.
Continued delay in presentation
of the steel code brought sugges-
tionS from some aides of General
Hugh S. johnson, MIRA adminis-
traitor. that banking influence in
New York may be responsible Be-
lief is growing in some government
quarters that big business in some
instances is concerned over the
long-range implications of the gov
ernment's industrial experiment
and is heSitant to commit itself
without long deliberation.
Submission of oil, coal, construc-
tion and wearing apparel codes
within the last "a hours was ex-
pected by MIRA officials to have
an encouraging effect in bringing
other industries forward But it
was pointed out that in the coal
code neither the Rockefeller nor
the Mellon interests were repre-
sented. Less than one-fifth of the
industry is covered.
The steel code has been sent back
for revision at least three times by

(SpeciaD-This fellow Roosevelt
can close the banks; he can tell
industry how much to pay and
how many hours to work; he
can hold back the sun; he can
evaporate the water; but when
he demands that a postmaster

carrying dictatorship too far.
When he takes the poStmasterS
out of politics, he is monkeying
with the very fundamentals of
American political parties. How
is the army going to fight If

 M WET COLUMN

MOUNTPELIER, Vt., Sept. 6. - Vermont became the 25th state to vote for repeal of the prohi- bition amendment when voters of that state cast an almost 2 to 1 vote yesterday in favor of rati- ficatiOn.
 Vermont has long been a rock bound prohibition stronghold b u showed little hesitancy in joining the parade of states favoring re- peal and continued the line of con- Secutive states to record against prohibition.
 The vote in metropolitan areas ran considerably higher than to 1 and aided materially in giving a statewide wet sentiment as the rural sections showed considerable dry strength.
 Complete returns for Tuesdays special repeal election from PAS towns and cities gave 41,279 for re- peal and 2O,572 against repeal.
 Vermont was considered as the most doubtful state yet to act.
 At least two of the States 14 counties, Lanoille and Orleans, vot- ed for retention.
 Rural votes are still creeping in for counting but they are not of a sufficient number to have any effect on the outcome.
