Resources in Hunt for
AbduCtorS.
By United Press


ST. PAUL, Feb. 10.-Adolph Brem-
er, a powerful banker and friend Of
President Roosevelt, today added hi:
influence and resources to the fed
eral department of justice agents
hunt for a band Of men which
kidnapped his son Edward.
Mr.. Bremen furnished the fedora
men with a complete list of seria
numbers copied from the bills with
which 100000 ransom was paid fol
his sons release, the United Press
learned.
During the twenty-five days which
elapsed between the seizure of the
younger Mr.. Bremen and his return
ample opportunity was provided fol
preparation of this list. The bills
we're not marked, however, since the
abductors had warned they would
not accept marked money.
The kidnapped man was suffering
from nervous shock as the result of
injuries and privations suffered as
a result of the abduction. He suf-
fered a severe beating about the
head when first seized. His leg was
injured when the abductors closed
an automobile door on it.
During his captivity he was forced
to remain sitting on a chair for
long periods of time. Sometimes
meals were skipped. AS result Of
these hardships, Mr.. Bremer's
physical condition has forced fed
eral agents to allow him consider
able rest.

shortly after o'clock walked along
the aisle outside the cell tier in
which Giberson was supposed to be
confined and, to my establishment,
saw him standing in the shadows
outside the bars. He had his hat

Rollings told Sheriff Hattery that
he passed the convict and continued

Tells CWA Foreman
Half an hour after Giberson
nonchalantly walked out of jail,
RollingS walked over to the court
house, across the yard from the
prison, according to Sheriff Hattery,
and approached Frank Caylor, CWA
foreman.
I'm going to have to come clean
and tell you something" Rollings
is alleged to have remarked before
telling Mr.. Caylor of Giberson's
escape.
Sheriff Hattery was in Sheridan
when the escape was made known.
State policemen Loyal Hall and
Frank Zirkle discovered the bar
sawed off in the door of the Jail.
Several hours after the escape,
state police and Sheriff Hattery dis
covered an inmate who had seen the
car in which Giberson is said to
have escaped, drawn up on the
south side of the jail.
Sheriff Hattery withheld the
prisoners name. He said the man
had known of Giberson's plans and
had been threatened with his life
if he told of the escape.

TuuWeII Explanation

GARY, Ind, June IL QN.SO.
DR.. William A. Writ, president
of the Gary school board, today
unleashed a scathing denuncia-
ton of Prof. Rexford Guy Tug
wells explanation of his stand
on the Constitution before a
Senate hearing yesterday.
Concerning DR.. TugWell's repu-
diation of the Soviet idea OF
blue print planning" DR.. Writ
said:
"In my estimation, DIR. Tug
wells explanation is merely the
usual explanation of radicals
who, when placed in similar
positions, invariably deny any
serious import in their state
ments and affirm they were
only Joking"
DR.. Writ recently defended
himself before a congressional
committee after charging that
the brain truSters" were plan
ming to throw the Government
into the throes of Communism.
Quotes From Book
The educator declared:
81 do not consider any part
of DR.. Tugwell's statement,
which is too long to quote,
either scientific or detached
"Within the last four months,
DIR. TugweIl has reiterated his
theories in his recent book,
Our Economic Society," This
book is advertised by its author
and publishers as the factual
background and theoretical
framework for the New DEAL"
DR.. Writ quoted paragraphs
from the book to prove his con-
tention that DR.. Tugwell favors
economic planning. In one in
stance, he said DR.. Tugwell wrote;
Russia has shown that plan
ming is practicable"
Concluding his statement, DR.
Writ said:
"After all, are not the acts
Of men just as significant as
their excuses"

BILL PASSED
BY HOUSE
"CIean-up" Slated to Follow
Enactment; Row on Floor
PreCedeS Vote
BY ROGER HAWTHORNE

Ignoring a stern warning that
the District would become "a
dumping ground for worthless in
surance," the House today passed
the Harlan insurance bill by a
standing vote of ia to l.
The lone vote in opposition to
the measure was that of Repre-
sentative Charles V. Truax D.) of
Ohio, who successfully conducted
a one-man filibuster late yester-
day. but who was hooted down
amid catcalls and laughter today.
Cleanup Provided
AS passed by the House, the bill
authorizes the District superin-
tendent of insurance to clean up"
irresponsible life insurance firms
here, to take over assets of defunct
underwriters, and to act on behalf
of cheated policyholders, three
functions denied him under ex-
listing law.
Final vote on the bill was pre-
coded by a spirited tiff between
Mr.. TruaX and Representative
Claude A Fuller CD of Arkansas.
The Ohioan'S anger was aroused
70 white-hot pitch when Mr..
Fuller, in decrying a brief speech
made by Mr.. Truax in opposition
to the bill, declared that Mr..
Truax' opposition was an indica-
ton in itself the bill was a good
one and that bills opposed by him
invariably passed.
Jumping to his feet, arms fly
ing, Mr.. TruaX secured the floor
on a point of personal privilege
and demanded that the Speaker
have Mr.. Fuller's remarks stricken
from the record.
Amendment Adopted
The Speaker declined to do this,
amid applause from the House,
and a moment later the chamber
approved an amendment which
would permit Federal employees
associations to handle group in
Surance and then passed the bill.
Enactment of the measure re-
fleets considerable credit upon
Representative Byron B. Harlan
3D. of Ohio, author and cham
pion of the bill, friends Of the
legislation declare.
AS chairman of the special
committee in charge Of the bill
he has waged a one-man, three
year fight, securing support Of
the House Rules Committee and
of the majority party practically
alone.

PRESIDENT ACTS
FOR HOUSING
BY International News Service

By International News Service
President Roosevelt today per-
sonally interviewed in the bitter
House fight over the Administra-
TONS housing bill.
The President, it was revealed at
a session of the Rules Committee,
asked that the bill be speedily
paSsed-and also expressed dissat-
isfaction with the decision of the
House Banking Committee.
The Rules Committee paved
the way for speedy action by
permitting the measure to be
called up with three hours of de-
bate allowed. It likely will reach
final passage tomorrow.
Representative O'Connor CD
of New York, member of the
Rules Committee, assaulted the
Banking Committee for its re-
vision of the bill. He asserted
that it was revised to prevent
low-cost housing and slum clear
ance in the big metropolitan
centerS.
The original Administration
bill, Representative Luce (R.) of
Massachusetts, asserted, was mis-
represented to us by two young
men who presumed to speak for
