BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 13-John Factor
disclosed today that $50, 900 was paid
in SIS and $40 bills to his kidnapers
as the price of his freedom.
It suffered unbelievable tortures,
Factor said, which it is impossible for
me to describe or for you to believe"
Awakening from a 12-hour sleep,
after IL days a prisoner of kidnapping
band, he refreshed himself and shaved
off the long growth OF beard that gave
evidence of his captivity.
Factor asserted there must have been
20 men in the gang that seized him
the morning Of July l, as he motored
home from a night club. He said he
was struck in the face, bound, threat
ened with machine guns and driven
near hysteria by the brutality and
threats of his captors.
There were so many men in the
gang, and because my eyes were taped
tightly from the start" Factor said,
that I would not be able to identify
the kidnapers."
Their voices were those Of intelligent
men. All could see was section OF
a hardwood floor
"I was held on the second floor Of g
farm house, which I believe was about
one and one-half miles from La
Grange" GaGrange is the suburb
where Factor was released early today. }

THE ransom was arranged in nego-

paid in broad daylight outside of Chi

It was reported the s50,0O0 was a
down payment, and that a smaller
amount would be paid later.
Ransom Sealed Down.
Factor told the story of the kidnapping
to a reporter selected by others to &c
to Factors room. He greeted the re-
porter while lying in bed, dressed in
lavender-st striped pajamas, and appear

His son Jerome, also a victim OF kid
napers two months ago, was in the
room as was a younger son, Alvin.

OPPOSITION RISES
TO POSTAL PLAN
Mcclellan Predicts Defeat of
Presidents Proposal Cut
ting Congress- Patronage.

President Roosevelt's move to place
all postmasters under civil service fell
with a thud today on Democrats IN
Congress who realized suddenly that
about $4,000 jobs thus would be taken
out of the political patronage category.
Senator McKellar Of Tennessee,
chairman Of the Post Office Committee,
and ranking Democrat on the Civil
Service Committee, predicted Congress
would reject bill such as the Presi-
dent recommended to require that all
first, second and third class postmasters
be under civil service.
These appointments are now and
have been for years appointed by the
President on recommendation Of Sena-
tors and Representatives. Only fourth
class postmasters are at present re-
quired to stand civil service examina-
tions.
Letter to Fariey.
The Presidents intention was made
known yesterday in letter to Post
master General Farley which accom-
panied an executive order revising the
conditions under which the so-called
presidential postmasters" are to be
chosen.
The move surprised House Democrats,
but many Of those in the city, refused
to comment pending study Of the order
It is the members Of the House who
control the postmaster patronage, Sena-
tors reserving the right to recommend
appointments only in their home cities
Senator McKellar said he was in
clined to the view that the larger post.
masterships should not be under civil
service"
McKellar Sees Opposition.
This step has been proposed several
times in the past" he added. In view
of the past attitude by Congress, !
would be inclined to believe it would
oppose passage Of a bill placing these
under civil service"
The Tennesseean said there were
arguments for and against such a
move, but he believed the opposition
had the upper hand.
One Democratic Senator, who refused
to allow his name to be used, thought
possibly there was "a niger IN the
wood pile" in the action, but was not
prepared to say what it was.
The postmasterS are nominated by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate. The principal changes in the
requirements raise the age limit Tor
appointees from IS to 66 years, and
cuts the necessary period of residence
in the office area from two years to

 With the British pound rising to S4.85, within one cent of it's dollar value when both units were on the gold basis, some economists believe the attainment of the old parity will be a logical point for decision on whether to seek approximate stabilization or a further dollar depreciation.
 Although the Administration has emphasized it has no desire for a depreciation race some officials con- cede such competitive depreciation is still possibility.
