WHALES FACE DETERMINATION.
 EXPERT SAYS
More Careful Use of the Mammals Urged By
 Federal Bureau Head

Washington-As in the case of the pig, where leather, food and gelatine manufacturers use "every- thing but the squeal." the great whales of the Arctic and Antarctic should be used in industry, says Dr Lewis Radcliffe, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries.
 Determination of the whale is threatened, pr Radcliffe declares, for two reasons: The treaty of the League of Nations designed to have this 1,000-year old industry has not been santioned by a sufficient number of countries to make it ef- fective and many whales are kill ed solely for oil.
 "Aside from the extraction of the oil, we safely may conclude that not more than 10 per cent of the other available products of the whale fisheries of the world now is utilized" Radcliffe said. "Be- cause of the urge for speed in fill- ing the oil tanks of the factory ships penetrating the Ross Sea during the short open season of 8 few weeks, and because of the present lack of storage space. fire hazards and other difficulties, the incentive to save other products at present price levels is small.
 Since whales feed on marine life. there is available to them @ greater variety of mineral ele- ments than is available to land animals, Radcliffe declares, and whale meat should therefore be of great value to the farmer in feeding his cattle, hogs and chick ems.

League Playing
 For High Stakes
Settlement of Paraguay-Bolvia Dispute Might Bring
 Argentina Back to Geneva

in dispelling an age-old tradition that the Monroe Doctrine, and not the league, is the supreme legal authority in South America.
 Pray for Good Luck
 Flushed with its initial success in quickly bringing an end to hos tilities between Colombia and Peru over the Leticia corridor, league officials are praying for a period of good luck" in their negotia- tions with Bolivia and Paraguay Not only will a successful outcome hasten the return of Argentina to Geneva, but 1t also will strength en the leagues growing prestige in South America. they believe.
 The stakes ere high and the odds are against the league, bu, Geneva is optimistic. For the first time since the beginning of the Chaco conflict the leadership oi the game rests in Geneva and moi in Washington.
 The league virtually took over the dispute on May 10 when Para guay formally declared war upon Bolivia. If league members can avoid 1t there will be no return to previous methods of Kegotia- tions, characterized by confusion of authority and mixture of cross purposes.
 They admit the Chaco problem presents more involved and deli. cate differences than the Leticia affair. The leagues universal au- thority and freedom from national prejudices makes settlement probable, however.

Welfare List in
 State Decreasing

in direct relief also Is easing the burden that in Connecticut the in- dividual cities and towns had to carry without aid from the state.
 In Hartford more than 700 men have been taken off the public welfare rolls since May. There are now 3,744 families receiving aid, but the outlook is for further steady reduction of this figure.
 New Britain, one of the hard est hit cities in the state, reported that approximately 500 families have been droppel from the rolls since May. Tn the last week 143 heads of families obtained work. The number of families obtaining relief now Is down to 2,116.
 The pickup in industrial condi- tions in the Waterbury area has resulted in 330 men finding work in the period since June, with the welfare department able to reduce the number of families 1t cares for by that figure. There are still 3.015 families receiving aid, how ever. The Mutual Aid. which pro- vided part time work on odd jobs for some 2,500 men, reports a much improved outlook, with near ly half the men formerly on their lists now at steady work. In New Haven there are about 2,800 fam files still receiving city charity. but since May approximately 1000 men have reported finding employ ment. enabling the city to reduce It's aid work by more than a fourth.
 The same trend is reported a. Stamford. Bridgeport. Norwalk and in the mill centers, with the pos sible exception of Willimantic, where strike has thrown more than 800 men and women out of work. The mills have been closed indefinitely and some workers are operated leaving for other mill centers.

There were blood stains on her stockings, so I took them off. went back to the car. drove to orange (eight miles distant) and bought her some new ones. Then I drove back to the woods and put the new stockings on mother. Then I car ried her Is feet and covered her with grass and brush.
 A few hours later Mrs. Compton appeared at her home in Water town, about 100 miles east of here. Her husband noted that she was extraordinarily nervous and ques- toned her, but she parried ms queries.
 Finally he inquired where her HOtHcE WdSs IlCk otAe ot this question made him insis- tent. Suddenly he espied revolver upder her arm.
 Then she told him what she had done, and how she had planned to kill him, also, and herself.
 Together they went at once to watertown police headquarters. Mrs. Compton was hysterical and her husband was near collapse. The husband repeated the story of the killing, and police started with them immediately for this town.
 When the party reached here. Police Chief John Plunkett Of Orange, Sergeant Francis O'Con- nell, Patrolman Howard Reed, and State Detective Albert Dacey ao- companied them to the Warwick woods. Chief Plunkett foun dthe body, bearing five bullet wounds, partly concealed by a blanket of grass. Medical Examiner $. J. Ten Broeck viewed the body.
 Mrs. Compton was wild-eyed and highly emotional when the party returned to police headquarters here. She talked incoherently and authorities were unable to get her to tell why she killed her mother. No charge was lodged against her imn1 cd lately.

 The duty of these troops" will be, first. to make block can- vases of merchants and other employers and make census of compliance with the blanket code; second, to make census of the unemployed, catalog them by trades and study expanding industries with an effort to get the unemployed absorbed.
 Huge Selling" Task
 The other chief task of the To- cal committees will be the edu- cation of small business men and consumers. The MIRA esti- mates that about 80 per cent of business men belong to no trade associations and that most of them will have to be "sold." There are about 5,000,000 employ CTS in the United States and the campaigners will be after nearly all of them.
 Above the local committees will bespecial regional and state recov- cry boards.
 Among ambitious plans under consideration is one through which

the 17,000 automobile dealers would try to canvas more than 20,000,000 automobile owners in an attempt to get MIRA stickers on every motor car.
 Organizers of the great drive insist that they will avoid "bally- hoo" and spectacular stunts. They promise to make no appeal to mass hysteria and say that they will appeal conservatively to "self- interest" rather than to any spirit of sacrifice.

Speeches will be along this line: "In the general dehationary pro- cess profits were narrowed by de- ciining business. Wages shrank and knocked down consuming power. That hit the retailer and damaged the manufacturer. Un- employment rose enormously. Then landlords found their proprety val- ues going down and all investments tumbled in value. The way to re- store prosperity Is by spreading employment and raising wages, which cant be done unless every body does it."

 Cures for Kidnapping came from various experts who participated in a United Press symposium.

 Chicago, July 28-(UP)-A se. cret police with a spy in every gang was the solution to the kid- nap menace suggested to-day by Patrick Terrence Roche, whose name has long been a terror to gangdom.
 Roche, who has fought crim- inals 20 years as policeman. fed eral agent and chief investigator for the Cook county states attor- ney, is the only man to gather evi- dence in Chicago which drew Q life sentence for a kidnaper who pleaded guilty. That was during his service under States Attorney John A. Swanson who was suc- ceeded at the last election by Thomas J. Courtney.
 "Kidnaping is 6 national prob- lem," Roche said to-day. "It re- quires nationwide alertness If we are to stamp 1t out.
 "War-time measures should be used. During the war, the gov. ernment had agents in all the sub versive groups operating in this country. We can do the same now --learn the Identities and plans of kidnapers and save lives and for. tunes"
 The tall nemesis of several kid- naping gangs ran fingers through jet-colored hair and reminisced. At 45, Roche looks like a man of 35. He speaks with a pronounced Irish brogue.
