Mrs Harry Payne Whitney, the last of long series of witnesses from the older generation of Van- derbilts who are trying to keep Gloria from her mother, appeared triumphant as she left the witness chair. Throughout her testimony, Mrs Vanderbilt, widow of the late Reginald Vanderbilt and sister-in- law of Mrs Whitney, remained in court to "hear the worst.
 Suffered Collapse
 When her own side opened, with Lady Furness, her sister, taking up the defense of Mrs Vanderbilt's morals and manners, she suffered slight collapse and left the room.
 Gloria, the daughter, is believed to have told Justice Carew she would prefer to remain with her aunt on the extensive Long Island she has a pony, play mates and other perquisites of rich little girls-than to return to q life in which, her aunt and grand mother insist, she was neglected.
 Justice Carew's court is closed to the press and public. The spicy testimony of two Of Mrs Vanderbilt's former servants re- garding night life in France caused the justice to bar the doors ana threaten attorneys with contempt proceedings if they revealed any further testimony.
 Justice Carew announced he had asked counsel to hurry proceed ings so that he might conclude the case by November 5, and request ed that both sides agree to night sessions

Control Contracts of A. A. A. Being Checked By
 Kentucky Force

Lexington, Ky (UP) - Offices have been set up here and an office force of more than 50 persons assembled to check control contracts of the Agricultural Ad- justmef1t Administration. prepare tory to mailing $6,000,000 in checks to tobacco growers of Ken lucky, Kansas. Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Missouri, Tennessee, Vir- ginia and North Carolina.
 G. V. Whitton field representa- tive of the comptro1ler's office, supervised the work, aided by R. E. .O'Hara, Washington, auditor for the work; J. E. Buckley, Wash ington, personal officer, and J. E. Hutson, chief of the, A.A.A. tobac- co section.
 Hutson, who drove here with his family from Charleston, w. Va, had made tour of various sec tions of the burley belt and said he saw possibility that the 1884 markets might open in November.
 Hutson revealed widespread grower sentiment for continuation of the tobacco control program.
 The checks. which Whitton est- mated could be in the mails with in 50 days, are benefit payments and rental payments, and go to farmers participating in the con trol program of A.A.A. The branch, established here to expe- dite the issuance of the checks, will send out payments to approx imately 160,000 growers in the area.

votes for congressman. The house
 consequently passed the Patman
 Bonus Bill overwhelming in de-
 ference to the demands of veteran
 voters.
 When the measure reached the senate, pressure from the White House was brought to bear. The bill languished in pigeon hole of the finance committee until the last hectic days of the session. Then it was brought to the floor
 and defeated.
 Leaders knew that MT Roose- velt's veto hung over their heads. May Be Fewer Bonus Votes This year the bonus is not near ly so important a political issue. With elections over and legisla- tors safely in their seats for an- other term, there are expected to be fewer bonus votes merely for
 the sake of political e~pediency. Those who do vote for the cash
 payment will be those who believe sincerely that it should be paid. Temper of the new congress cannot be gauged accurately yet. but ob- servers believe that the 74th ses- sion will not be as favorable to- ward 1t as was the 73rd. Leaders of the bonus block,
 nonetheless, intend to make val

 Informed of Condon's identlfica- ton of his client, James M. raw cett, defense counsel, commented:
 sWell, heard that. It's only rumor. I've heard rumors the other way. The defendant stated some time ago that he had never seen "Jafsie' in his life"
 The defense, 1t was believed, undoubtedly will attempt to recall at the trial that Dr Condon failed to positively identify Hauptman when the confronted him after the arrest five weeks ago. However, it was learned recently that at the time Dr Condon decided to keep his own counsel until Lindbergh himself had had an opportunity to see the suspect. Subsequently, Lindbergh recognized Haupt- mann's voice as that of man who shouted, they doctorr to Jafsie from behind a cemetery wall.

REPEAL MIXED
 GAS AND AUTOS
Pennsylvania Starts Cam- paign Against IntOxi-
 cated Drivers

Harrisburg, Pa. (UP) ).-Pennsyl- vania highway patrolmen have an- swered the increased tendency of automobile drivers to mix driving and drinking with increased arrests and license revocations since re- peal of the 18th amendment.
 The state department of revenue, who holds the tasks of enforcing the motor laws on the states high ways, reported that withdrawals of drivers licenses resulting from all charges in which an element of intoxication figured. have increased more than 60 per cent this year.
 Revocations, which reflect the county court action on which they are based, have increased 25 per cent, and suspensions of drivers for indefinite periods have increased nearly 400 per cent.
 Leon D. Metzger, secretary of revenue, termed these figures a barometer showing the rising sen- timent and more rigorous action against persons who persist in the dangerous practice of com bining drinking and driving.
 '"The sharp rise in the number of revocations resulting from con- victions on charges of driving while under the influence of liquor indicated offenders are finding the courts firmly enlisted in the gen- eral campaign to curb drunken drivers" he said. "Juries are be- coming les stolerant in dealing with the menace of drivers with dulled faculties and cars built for speed and quick thinking"

DETROIT COED
 | CLAIMED SHE HAD

Mary Elsie Wafer Was Re- leased When No Ran-
 som Was in Sight

St Louis, october 2e = (UP)- Vincent Wafer, father of Mary Elsie Wafer, 21. missing Detroit coed who claimed she. had been Kidnapped, arrived by plane today for a reunion with his daughter. Miss Wafer was taken from a Chi- cago bus last night by police. She said she had been Kidnapped Mon- day eveninng from the campus of Wayne University by three men and a woman. Officials of the bus company had notified police here that the driver of the bus telephoned from Champaign, III, saying he had the abducted" girl aboard. He said an automobile had followed the bus from Chicago where Miss Wafer had become a passenger. MT Wafer and an un- cle of the girl, Harry J. New, caught plane from Detroit soon after the girl called her home from police headquarters. She said she apparently had been the mistaken victim of the kidnapers. adding that it was a Tong story and can someone come for me-"
 Mary Elsie told police she was taken by the kidnapers from the lobby of the Child Federation building about p. m., Monday, and held captive in vacant house that night, driven to Chicago, then put on the bus for St Louis. Miss Wafer said she was treated well all the time she was captive. Dur ing the night spent in the Detroit house, the man Miss Wafer de- scribed as the ringleader, asked if her parents could raise $50,000. Answering negatively, Miss Wafer said she added that it was doubt full if they could raise $5.000.
 The man slammed the door, Miss Wafer related, and she heard him say. 'Leave it up to a jane and she'll boob it for you every time." He apparently referred to the strange woman who began the conversation with Miss Wafer in the campus building before the men forced the coed into a wait ing automobile. Department of Justice agents here have been asked to question the girl to de- termine if a federal statute has been violated.

 Canker worms are those small, green or blackish measuring worms with stripes lengthwise Of fhe body that stripped the trees of foliage last spring. In the south Western part of the state their number was legion and many per sons viewed the results Of thelr work with consternation.
 The trees leafed out again but were weakened by the eHort. Tn the case of elms, subject as they are to attack by beetles after the canker worms leave, the injury nav be serious. In fact, contin- ned infestation of any trees season after season may be very harmIul, according to Dr Britton.

 Senator Henrik Shipstead, far mer-labor, Minn., is possible cas- ualty. If democrats can pick up four seats they will possess the coveted two-third majority al- though it would not be New Deal control by that margin. Among the democratic membership are several senators whose support of adminis- tration policy in uncertain.
 Robinson Is Doubt
 Senator Arthur Robinson, R., Ind, is in a close and uncertain race against Sherman Minton, dem ocrat. The only democratic sena- tor in trouble is Joseph c. O'Ma- honey, who was named last session to a Wyoming vacancy. New Deal headquarters has ordered outside speaking talent to aid him against Vincent Carter, republican candi- date.
 Campaign guessers believe the republicans may gain from 10 to 20 house seats-perhaps more among Iowa, Illinois, Michigan. h. diana, Nebraska, California, New Jersey and South Dakota. There appears to be in the minds of many voters a distinction be- tween the New Deal national ad- ministration and the New Deal state candidates, reports and opin. ions from Nebraska, for instance indicate a coolness toward state democratic candidates but a pref erence for the Roosevelt admins tration. Iowa reflects a somewhat similar situation in which enthusi- asm for the New Deal is less evi- dent in support of local candidates than for the national administra-

 The Legionnaires voted 9S7 to 183 for immediate payment at the concluding session of their annual convention yesterday. The vote was considered an order to the Ligion's Washington lobby to work for fulfillment of the organiza- tion's will.

 we could have got cash when this law was enacted. We pre- ferred the 20-year-endowment and congress gave us that. Let's not welsh on it at this late date. The convention approved reso- lutions affirming its political neu- trality," opposing clemency for Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, war time draft dodgers, urging it's members to fight for "clean nov ies" and supporting the constitu- tional amendment to prohibit child labor. It also favored the denial of political rights to the commun- ist party in every state of the Union and opposed the granting of federal farm and home loans to non- citizens.
