Future TO Bring
Glass Houses,
Bug Proof

BOSTON, Nov. IS G.N.SO.
In the near future, people may
live in glass houses, and can
throw stones, too, for the
houses will be shock proof.
This was the prediction which
today had been made by DIR.
Alexander Silverman, of the
chemistry faculty Of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, address
ing the American Chemical So
ciety.
The glass houses would be
easy to wash from the outside
and inside, vermin proof, with
no plaster required. Color eff
fects would be obtained by
controlled lighting and special
colors of glass. Vacuum bricks
would make the house nearly
shock proof as we'll as resistant
to heat and cold. and heating
and cooling would be simply
through air-conditioning.

MILLIONAIRE
TEST|F|ES
At TRIAL
Says Woman Led Him Into the
House Where He Was
Held a Prisoner

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 10
U.N.S)-A woman was an actual
accomplice in his kidnapping, Will
liam Hamm jr., told a jury in
Federal Court today.
Hamm, testifying against Roger
Touhy and three associates
charged with his kidnapping last
June, told the jury that the
woman-whom he mentioned Fri
day as having been in the house
took his arm and led him up the
stairs to room on the second
floor Of the house.
The house, the Government
says, is in southern Wisconsin. It
has not been located.
Took Him By Arm
Asked by the district attorney
what part the woman played in
the kidnapping, Hamm said
I'VE stopped outside a house.
1t was some time after mid
night. Two men took me out Of
the car and guided me to the
house. The woman met us at
the door.
"She took me by the arm and
led me up the stairs to the sec.
Ond floor. The two men walked
behind u.s."
During the four days Hamm
was held prisoner he did not have
any further contact with the
woman. He never spoke to her,
he said.
Describes the Auto
Hamm partially identified the
automobile in which Touhy and
his three associates were cap
tured last July 10, as the car in
which Hamm himself was kid
mapped in st. Paul a month earlier.
Resuming the witness stand
after his sensational testimony Of
Friday, in which he identified
Edward McFadden, one Of the
four defendants, as the man who
pushed him into the kidnap car,
the wealthy young brewer gave
the jury a description of the car
that fitted the Touhy automobile
now held by the Government in
q local garage.
The witness refused, however,
TO identify positively photo
graph Of the Touhy car.
Defense Objects
Shown the photograph by Dis
trict Attorney George F. Sullivan
and asked if it was representa-
ton Of the kidnaper's car, he
said:
II didn't see the car from
that angle, Of course saw it
from the side, as I was being
pushed in, and from the inside.
The kidnaperS' car was q black
sedan with wire wheels and a
windshield divided vertically
down the middle. This car has
those same features"
Hamm'S testimony regarding the
automobile was given over con-
tinuouS objection by William
Scott Stewart, of Chicago. chief
Of defense counsel. Stewart
argued that Hamm was being
asked leading questions that
would indicate to the jurors the
Touhy car and the kidnapers' car
were identical.
Caught After Crash
Hamm'S testimony regarding
the automobile in which he was
:, "snatched" may prove q major
point in the Governments case.
Describing the car, Hamm,
. cooler and surer witness than he
was Friday, said:
"The upholstery was whip
cord. 1t was blush grey in
color"
This description further fits the
car that Touhy and his three CO
defendants crashed into a tele-
phone pole at Elkhart. Wis,
!. where they were captured by an
unarmed policeman. The car was
filled with revolvers and parapher-
malta used for binding and TAPPING,
