AMERICAN YOUTH
 CONGRESS OPENS
Communists Even Invaded This SessiOn-Leaders
 Try to Clean Up

New York, Aug 16.-(UP)-The first American youth congress be- gan it's second session today by "purging' an excess of communist delegates whose tactics kept the opening meeting in a constant up- roar.
 "They ganged up on us by the cutest little trick" said Miss Viola lima, comedy founder of the con- gress and it's chairman. What they did," chimed in Miss Laura Stern, one of the directors of the Central Bureau for Young Amer ica," twas to pass the word out town. They were entitled to so many delegates but they sent their people down to the central bureau, telling them to wear their best clothes so they wouldn't look like communists" "So when they came" took up Miss lima, i've gave them credentials as unaffiliat- ed delegates. But once inside the hall, they became affiliated. They began shouting that we were dic- tators. So I got up and told them to pipe down."
 As result of this strategy the communists have what Miss lima and her associates describe as 'il- legal majority" A group of 60 delegates voted in an early morn ing meeting to refuse admittance to persons obtaining credentials ir- regularly. This, would encompass a good portion of the communist delegation.

OUEBEC'S BILLS
 AID CELEBRATION
Historic Tones Lend Color to Cartier Quadri=
 centennial

Montreal-(UP)-As much part of French Canadian life in this goth century as they were in the days of the French domination of Canada, Quebec's historic bells are lending an authentic tone to the pageants of early days which are featuring the Cartier quadrl- centennial and other celebrations under way here this summer.
 For the bells in the towers or Montreals more than 200 churches give voice to the recollection or French colonial days in Quebec as they sing out over the cocoph- any of modern automobile horns fire sirens and police whistles, bridging centuries with the same haunting carillons that rang in the ears of the gallant Cartier when ne sailed from St Malo, France, Tn April of 1884, seeking a northwest passage to Cathay.
 Montreal is a bell town, as Amer ican tourists who have heard the matin and angelus roll up the sides os Mount Royal can testify.
 Granddaddy of Montreals bra zeh songsters is Le Gros Bourdoh' Aloot in the spire of Notre Dame church, it is one of the great bells of the world. For long it was the mightiest bell of the western hem isphere, but that honor has latter ly passed to newly cast bells ln the United States.
 Weighing 24,7S0 pounds, Mont reals deep-throated bell Is mute except on state occasions. Some say this Michael of Montreal rocks and tortures the whole west bell tower of Notre Dame in sounding it's infrequent summons, but thls is more fanciful than true.
 : The oldest bell in Montreal re- calls some of the most vivid hours of Canada's history. It does not hang in u church, but in the Cha teau de Ramesay museum here, and is known as the Louisburg bell from Nova Scotia. It was blessed in France and hung in the steeple of the church at Louisville in 1724. Upon equalization of that town it was carried to Halifax to hang for many years in St John chapel at Three Mile House. Tn 1895 a subscription was raised III Montreal for it's purchase and la ter 1t was presented to this muse um.

vert attention of police and the press, the kidnapers might attempt to contact Hugh Labatt or an all ternative Intermediary.
 Mrs Labatt Bearing Up
 Mrs Labatt, the kidnapped mans wife, who neared a state of collapse when first told of the abduction was reported showing great con trol" today. Her husbands heart is weak and 1t was feared a severe shock might kill him.
 She and her three children, John 6. Mary 4, and Arthur 4months old, were at the home of Hugh Labatt.
 A heavy guard was placed about the home and no one was allowed to approach. Fears were felt that the kidnapers might attempt to re- taliate on the family because police were notified of the abduction.
 Efforts to Find Him
 Toronto, Ont, Aug 16.-(UP)- Canada's first Kidnapping case ap- parently sped toward a climax to- day through series of swift but guarded movements in which the full strength of Dominion police forces combined with private ne- gotiators for release of John $. Labatt.
 The wealthy brewer is held by gang, believed to be United States racketeers, for $150,000 ransom.
 A break in the Kidnapping ap- peared near, although there was little definite information from the headquarters set up in a hotel by Hugh Labatt, who has the ransom money ready, and police officials, who sent their forces into the in vestigation after first efforts to contact the abductors had failed.
