FACTOR UNSHAKEN

Prosecutors Protect Kidnap
Victim From Quiz on Al.
legged Misdeeds.
BY the Associated 4 Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 27.-Protected
by prosecutors from questions about his
own alleged misdeeds. John Factor re-
afiirmed from the witness stand today
under cross-examination his identifica-
tion Of three Touhy gangsters As the
men who kidnapped him for $4,000
ransom.
From every conceivable angle, De-
fense Attorney William Scott Stewart
attacked his testimony. bringing forth
that Factor saw his abductors in dim
light, his eyes blurred from days Of be-
ing blindfolded. But Factor grimly re-
peated. II saw them. and I'd know
them anywhere. any time, always"

Factor, Roger, Touhy, Gustav Gloomy

Kator, gazed sullenly at the witness and

Quizzed on Gang Friends.

Stewart tried a dozen lines Of ques-
t1oning to bring out that Factor hoped
by assisting in the present prosecution
he might aid his own legal battle
against removal to, England to face
charges OF a $7,00O,000 stock fraud. He
also referred to Factors acquaintance
with Murray Humphreys, Sam Hunt
and other Capone gangsters, apparently
in trying to prove his contention that
Capone leaders instigated the kidnapping
charges against the Touhys in order to
remove them from, racket gambling
and vice competition.
He also questioned Factor about the
st. Paul trial of the Touhy gang, in
which Touhy and three others were ac-
quilted recently in the 100000 kid
naping Of William Hamm, jr, million
aire brewer.
Sought Justice"
Assistant States Attorney wilbert
Crowley later brought out that Factor
went to st. Paul on a Government SUBJ
poena. Factor told Stewart that he de-
sired to see the Touhys convicted there
In order that Justice might be done y
Stewards questions about the Capone
gang came in connection with the kid
naping last April of the stock plunRer's
20-year-old son. Jerome.
Factor said he paid no ransom fol
Jerome's release and that he does not
accuse Touhy and his friends of kid
mapping the youth.
Questions by the defense attorney
into Factors business and personal in
tegrlty included whether action had
been started against him for operating
IN Florida real estate in 1925. Obiec-
tions stopped the witness from an
swering them.

With her was her travelling COM

under the name of Miss j. Rogers.
The actress declined to make any
comment on the divorce action or her
plans for the immediate future.
How long will it be before your
legal business in Merida is trans
acted?" she was asked.
"Business?" the actress inquired.
II don't know what you are talking
about"
When told that the question con-
cerned the divorce action. her lips
drew taut, her eyes flashed and she
said she didn't know anything about
any divorce"
Then, with emphasis, the film star
said: We'll not discuss that matter

cynical of her intelligence, refused to
have her parents around and insisted
she was extravagant. Miss Bruce
asked $3.50 month for the support
of their infant daughter and $92.31 a

Married in 1882, the screen couple
separated several months ago, at
which time Miss Bruce said divorce

GENERAL STRIKE THREATENED
Unions in San Francisco and Port
land to Vote on Walkout.

SAN FRANCISCO, July II R.-
The menace of a general strike hung
over Portland, Oakland and San
Francisco today as the President
Labor Disputes Board sought to break
the deadlock between embattled long
shoremen Of the Western seaooaro
and their employers.
In the face Of a threatened walkout
of San Francisco and Oakland team
sters unless some real progress is re-
ported by tomorrow, the board made
an apparently unsuccessful effort last
night to induce both sides to submit
their dispute to arbitration. Thomas
B. Plant head of the Waterfront En-
ployers Association was called as a
witness before the board today.
Control of hiring halls apparently
remains the focal point In the long
dispute which began May 8 with the
walkout of 10000 longshoremen ano
has since spread to all allied maritime
crafts on the coast, involving l5,O0I
more men.
Many unions in the San Francisco
Bay region we're reported planning tc
vote at once on the question of sup
porting a general strike, with Monday
tentatively suggested as the date fol
the walkout.
All unions in Portland, Ore, were
asked to ballot Immediately upon the
question of participation in a genera
strike
Fifty men, said by police to oe
striking stevedores, attacked and in
jured eight non-union colored mer
late last night as they arrived in Oak
land from San Francisco to go tc

Organization of Bottled Liquor

A petition that the sale of bottled

of midnight, filed by the Exclusive
Retail Liquor Dealers Association, was
disapproved today by George w Of
futt, chairman of the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board.
Upon recommendation of the A. B.
G. Board, the Commissioners recently
extended the closing hours from 10
pm. to midnight Offutt said the
change was made In the interest OF
better enforcement
The association is a new organiza
ton of liquor licensees who deal only
in the Sale of bottled liquor. 1t has
approximately 110 members.
District officials were somewhat sur
prised that a request for shortening
the hours for sale Of liquor should
come from the business itself. The
A B. c. Board said it had received no
such request from dry organizations.
Manuel j. Davis. attorney for the
new association, said his group found
there was little business in the sale
Of bottled liquor late at night and
would be willing 10 have sale stopped
as early as pm.

A conflict OF view has arisen be-
tween the N r A and the Justice
Department which concerns the con-
stitutional rights Of every business
man who flies the Blue Eagle today or
every farmer who has voluntarily
agreed to accept control of his acre

II the Justice Department is right,
then those who voluntarily signed the
Presidents unemployment agreement
last year. or those who have accepted
without reservation the codes which
were substituted for these agreements,
have lost their constitutional rights
The FedeEal Government may thus
control commerce within State, fix

LEE HIRED TO AID
NAzEU. s. TRADE
Opposed Reich Propaganda
Here, However, He Tells
ProberS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July ll.-German in
dustry pays Ivy L. Lee, New York
public relations counsellor, and his
son, James Lee, salaries totaling $58,-
900 annually for advice on improving
German American relations, the Con-
gressional Subcommittee on Un-
American Activities revealed today
Disclosing the gist of a deposition
previously taken from Lee, who as
publicity man for the Standard Oil
Co. of New York has "humsnized"
John D. Rockefeller, the committee
said that:
Lee receives s25 600 from the I. @.
Chemical Co. Of Germany for his ad-
visory services.
Son Gets 5000 Yearly.
His son. James, as Lees contact
man in Berlin, gets a salary Of $685.
900 a year.
In his deposition, the committee
stated, Lee testified that he had con-
ferred with high German officials,
including Hitler, concerning German
American relations.
He had advised directors of the
I. G. Co., which is the German dye
trust, that spreading German propa-
ganda in America was futile; that the
only way in which friendly relations
between the United States and Ger
many could be cemented was for Ger
man authorities to make authorized
statements.
tacfi6ad hA had
with the German government and
did not correspond directly with it.
Last January, he had protested to
Vice Chancellor Won Papen against
Nazi propaganda in America, Lee said
and had further told Minister Goeb-
bels that ANY Nazi propaganda in
the United States would be ill-ad-
viSed."
Il met Hitler in the ordinary way
like any tourist" Lees deposition con-
tinued. Il told him wanted to un-
derstand more about his policies. He
made quite a speech. We didn't dis
cuss my contract with the 1. G."
Regarding his advisory position
with the chemical company, Lees
deposition said:
i was employed solely in an ad-
visory capacity to inform them as to
reactions Of Americans to activities in
Germany. I never gave out any state
ment under my name. nor did dis
tribute any propaganda"
First Payment in May, 1888.
In announcing the text of Lees
dHnnciflnT7 tha
In May, 1888. he received a first
payment of $4,000 from the German
f1rm, and at the time
of the payment, Mr.. Lee decided to
enter the item in his books as a re-
ceipt from the Swiss I. c., although
he never represented the Swiss I. G
or advised it in any way, according
to the deposition
An additional cash payment of
Sl4,450 was given Lee last April by
the American l. G.. the committee
states, adding:
Mr. Lee deposited this payment in
his personal account and entered the
item in his books as a receipt from
the German l. G., and at the same
time the Swiss l. G. account was
changed to German l. G."
A balance Of $6,500 remained to be
paid on Lees $4,000 contract, the
committee stated.
The committee feels" the an
nouncement of the deposition con-
t1nued that Mr. Lee should be Ques-
toned as to whether this money was
paid, and if so, where, how and when
and by whom, and as to what he did
with the money. and how it was
entered in his books"

ACREAGE TO BE SAME.
U. S. to Stand on Present Reduction
Program for Time.

CCopyright, 1884, by the Associated PressD
The law of weather averages and a
generous carryover from the Nation s
granary probably will enable the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton to leave its acreage production
unchanged for next year.
This was made clear by high Agri-
culture Department officials today
after they had studied figures of the
Crop Reporting Board that showed an
estimated production for 1884 lower
than any in the past 30 years.
The output of all wheat was es-
timated at 483, 1862 900 bushels, a cut
of $4,000 900 bushels during June. and
approximately half of the normal
production of $50, 1853, 900 bushels.
Other Nations Watched.
Secretary Wallace announced Mon
day the present reduction of is per
cent under the average 1882 pro-
duction WOULD be continued through
next year unless it develops before
planting begins that other nations do
not intend to live up to the inter-
national wheat agreement In that
event he intimated, the United States
would expand production and 60 into
the export business on a subsidized
basis
The administration in drafting next
years program holds TO the belief
that normal weather will prevail after
TWO unprecedented years of drought
They expect nature to boost wheat
production above the $4,000 000-
bushel level of domestic consumption
1t was also believed that If wheat
prices 60 up. fewer farmers will cut
acreage.
Oficials pointed out that even
though this years wheat production
should fall below the estimated figure
the present carryover would assure a
net surplus on July !. 1925. of ap-
proximately $4,000 900 bushels.
Other Crops Affected.
Drought damage reflected in the
wheat curtaiment held true for
other crops, corn production being es-
timated at 2,ll3.l37. 900 bushels, or
7lS per cent Of normal; oats at
567, ,S39 600 bushels. or 40 per cent of

ganization are granted by employers,
truck drivers will vote TO walk cut at

ond meeting. attended by representa-
tives of theiI crafts, is scheduled FOR

decided upon.
