BOXER MISSION
 IN US. STOPPED
Chinese Exchange Stu- dents to Be Educated
 at Tsing Hua

Peiping, China, (UP)-The mis- sion in Washington assigned to the task of directing the activities of Chinese students in the United States is to be closed. Hencetcrth the work will be done by the Chi nese legation.
 In past years large numbers of Chinese students supported by re- turned Boxer indemnity payments have studied in the United States. But their number Is dwindlsng rapidly. Boxer funds are now used to support Tsing Hu a uni versity in Peiping. This has been developed into afirst class insti- tuition and after 20 years it has been decided to suspend the activ- ities of it's Washington mission.
 It is expected that next year no more than 40 students will study under Tsing Hua university or Boxer fund auspices in the United States. Latest reports in- dicate that from 40 to 50 Chinese students now in America will re- turn to China during the coming summer, either because of adverse financial conditions or because they will find adequate facilities for continuing their studies at the Tsing Hua university in Peipin8.

 New York.-If America finally says "Come home-all is forgiven" to John Barleycorn, the country will scarcely recognize the prodi- gal.
 What used to be called "the H. uuor traffic" will be more like the Bpirits-purveying enterprises. It will beail decked out with hold ing companies, stock issues, sub sfdiaries, scientific merchandising, and all the fancy clothes that big business put on during the twen- ties. Though only half the needed states have ratified repeal, the set- up in the liquor industry is al- ready a far different thing than 1t ever was in 1918.
 Consultations, congratulations, dissolution of old companies. for nation of new ones, new plans for selling andsdistributing, all figure in the frantic rush of the industry to prevent being caught flat footed by repeal.
 THE RUSH TO "STORE UP"
 That's a real danger. For a na- ton which used to consume be- tween 60,000,000 and S0,000,000 gallons of whiskey a year would probably greet repeal with only a couple of months supply. This deficiency can't be supplied over night. Bottled in bond" means that a whiskey has aged at least four years. Blended whiskey, how ever, can be bottled at any age, and distillers believe they can build up an adequate stock of this type of liquor in from twelve to eigh- teen months.
 But the distillers are doing their best to follow the advice of Major A. V. Dalrymple, federal prohibit ton administrator. Dalrymple admits that prohibition is doomed, and urges that American distillers get busy so the country will not find itself entirely dependent on the Canadian and European stocks of whiskey which are eagerly wait ing for the word "Go". "Use the grain that is bursting our ware houses and that we can't sell," Dalrymple advises. "Store the liquor in bonded warehouses and be ready to supply the American demand with good American whis- key" So the distillers are fran tically scrambling to do That.
 National Distillers Products Corp, for instance. bids fair to develop into liquor organization like nothing ever seen before pro- hibition. It is a $25,0O0,O0O cor poration founded in 1924. and it Is headed by the social-registerite Seton Porter. Through a subsi- diary, American Medicinal Spirits Co, 1t has been quietly getting a

 Other distillers are making heroic efforts to prepare for the homecoming. The Schenley Dig tillers Corp, for example, recently sold nearly $3,000,000 of new stock to finance new warehouses and other facilities. The stock was sold before listing at SIS a share. Immediately after listing it opened at $34 and has touched SAT.

Youth As Reports Say Gang
ReSentS "D0ubIe- Cross"

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 3 UN.S).
Presence of armed guards at the
O'Connell summer camp in the
Heidelberg Mountains led to re-
ports today that threats have been
made against John ]. O'Connell,
jr., the 24-year-old National Guard
lieutenant who was released by
kidnaperS Sunday after his rela-
tives had paid $4,000 ransom.
Young O'Connell, now in Sc
clusion at the camp, has given the
district attorney additional in
formation concerning his captors.
This, together with the fact that
the kidnapers now know they have
been given marked money, is be-
lieved to have aroused the gangs
ire.
Dan O'Connell, uncle, who di.
rected the dealings with the kid
napers, was incommunicado at the
camp which he owns.
Louis Snyder, Albany attorney,
who accompanied Nanny StreWl,
the ex-convfct "go-between," to
New York City when $4,000 was
turned over to the kidnapers,
is nettled by the policy of silence
adopted by Daniel P. O'Connell,
uncle of the kidnap victim.
'In a False Light"
The fact that Dan O'Connell Is
leaving him strictly alone-even
though he played such an i'm
portant role in the final ransom
negotiations-has disturbed At
torney Snyder. He said this
silent treatment is placing him
in false light.
Strewl, meanwhile, has been
taken in hand by District At
torney John T. Delaney, who is
working in close harmony with
Dan O'Connell. No one outside
of Delaney and a few police Of
ficials knows Strewl's exact
whereabouts. He has been "de-
tanned" for several days.
Police Well Armed
Two policemen, armed with
sawed-off shotguns, challenged
every person who attempted to
enter Dan O'Connell's place.
Snyder expressed the opinion
the authorities should have no
difficulty in "placing the crime
within an area of five miles"
He said:
"There is no doubt in my
mind that a New York or q o.
New Jersey mob with Albany
connections committed this
crime and they certainly were
not nOviceS." ..

"It appears that from the
time Of the arrival of Druggan

sought to gain exemptions and
privileges through influence or
otherwise. Some of his requests
have been communicated to the

invariably denied.
