Public Airing of Attacks on

Believed to Be Near

Conflict within the ranks Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins.
tration over the presence Of DR..
Clyde L. King, Of Philadelphia, as
Federal milk administrator is rap
idly reaching point at which the
controversy may be aired publicly.
It is an open secret that certain
factions among officials Of the
farm agency believe that DR.. King
should be removed, if only on the
found that charges against him
for allegedly favoring the Milk
Trust" have brought the entire Or
ganization under suspicion.
Outsiders have long been taking
pot shots at the milk administra-
tor, among them being Represen-
tative Charles N. Crosby CD OF
Pennsylvania, energetic opponent
of the dairy "trust." Within the
farm administration, it is reported
that the matter has been carried
to as high an authority as the
Secretary of Agriculture himself.
While George N. Peek, head OF
the farm agency, recently ind1-
Gated that DR.. King would not be
dismissed, he admitted that he
had received complaints against
him. Basis Of the dissatisfaction
is the charge that DR.. King has
played into the hands of the
trust" either Intentionally or un-
Intentionally, by allowing the
base and surplus" plan to be in
corporated in many local milk
marketing agreements.
On the other hand, friends Of
the milk administrator point out
that, although DR.. King is head Of
the dairy section, h. is only one Of
many officials, including Peek and
Secretary Wallace, who must pass
on milk codes before they can be
put into operation,

Police revealed these threats as
they began their second days search

pioneer Colorado family and delved
into circumstances of the previous
demands. Chief of Police Albert T.
Clark. who a year ago solved the
Benjamin P. Bower kidnapping case

baker. was optimistic.
Claude K. Boettcher father Of the
victim. was impatient.
We're just where we were last
night" he exclaimed in evaporation.
Boettcher, police said, feared abb
duction. He, with several other Dem
yer businessmen, was named for alb
duction or death in a series of threats
made here two years ago by a man or
men who identified themselves as
"ChiSix."
Clark said he did not know the
men who carried out the actual kid
mapping but intimated he knew the
leaders of the plot. Investigation
continued of men and women with
criminal records here and a search
went on in other cities for men with
police records who were reported to
have been here recently.

the case will be cleared up soon car
ried with 1t the enigmatic assertion
that 1.-The ransom has not been paid
yet" He refused to enlarge upon It.
Both the elder Boettcher and Clark
said they had not heard from the ex-
tortionists since the men took Boet-
tcher away from his home at 1850
p. m. Sunday, despite the fulfillment
OF the ransom note instructions to
insert a personal ad in a Denver
newspaper, giving code message
which meant the family was willing
