He said:
'Many merchants who have

Under More Than the Code
Small merchants are particu-

of them deal in several COM

under a different code. Mr.. Shaw
explained:
"SOme business men sell coal

call for different work hours.
1t is hard to decide how to
classify them, as in the winter
they sell one commodity, in
the summer another"

ARCADIA, Cal, May 10 O.N.S.)
Two armed and masked men early
today kidnapped William F.. Gettle,
At, retired millionaire oil man and
former chain store executive, from
his newly purchased $3.50, 900 es'
tate in the foothills near here.
A midnight swimming party had
Dust broken up and Mr.. Gettle,
with q friend, James P. Wolf,
wealthy furniture man, were in
a summer house near the pool
when the two abductors entered
and seized them.
Mr.. Gettle was taken away in
an automobile.
Mr.. Wolf was tied to a tree,
from which he escaped and sound
ed the alarm.
Near Movie Colony
The scene of the kidnapping is
10 miles from Pasadena, home Of
numerous wealthy persons, and Is
miles from Beverly Hills, where a
majority of the movie stars have
their homes.
The Gettle kidnapping was the
first important one in the vicinity
of the movie colony, where many
stars for a long time have had
their homes guarded.
Only yesterday, Loretta Turn
bull. internationally famous speed
boat champion, reported that she
had received a kidnap warning
note at her home in the adjoining
city of Monrovia, and that she
had armed herself.
Friends and relatives assembled
at the Gettle home as police threw
out a dragnet over all highways
leading from the palatial six-acre
Gettle home to await a note or
telephone call from the abductorS
so that negotiatins for possible
ransom might be started without
delay.
Ransom Ready
Summoned from nearby Azusa,
Walter Girden, Mr.. Gettle'S
brother-in-law, said that he was
"ready to deal with the kid
naperS."
Federal Department of Justice
agents entered the case few
hours after Mr.. Gettle was re-
ported kidnapped.
While they were being marched
at. pistols points from the sum-
mer house toward the wall, Mr..
Wolf said that he dropped his
wallet containing $3.50.
Mr.. Gettle said to the kidnap-
ers, according to Mr.. Wolf.
"I'Il give you all the money
] have on me and go in the
house for more if you won't take
me away"
'cNot Enough"
Mr.. Wolf said that the kidnap-
ers laughed and replied:
"That won't be enough. This
is q kidnapping"
Mr.. Wolf said that he was com.
manded not to try to break his
bonds and give the alarm for at
least an hour.
Mr.. Gettle recently retired as
executive of a chain store group,
and was understood to have be-
come affiliated with a firm of
brokers. Only a short time ago
he purchased the estate from
which he vas abducted.
The party he gave last night
was in celebration Of the compile
ton of a magnificent new swim
ming pool set in the trees near the
summer house at the rear Of the
estate, some Cstance from the
mansion.
Heavy wires are set on stand
ards atop the wall that encircled
the estate.
The kidnapers used a>ssep-lad-
der to get over the wall into the
grounds.
The gardener said that he had
noticed the ladder against an
orange tree for a week and
thought that it had been placed
there by workmen on the estHte.
Mr.. Gettle has wife and our
children. Mrs. Gettle collapsed
after the Kidnapping and was ull-
der the care of a physician.

BEARISH NEWS
CARRIES GRAIN
FUTURES DOWN
All Months FractionaIly
Lower; Cotton Prices
Turn Weak.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. II. - Routine
news contained a slightly bearish
tinge and selling orders collected at
the opening Of the Board of Trade
today with grain prices off fraction
ally.
Wheat futures were q to z cent
lower, corn was off Il to y cent,
and oats were x cent lower.
Stocks were irregular in narrow
limits and furnished no buying in
centive, while cotton fell off in a
weak market.
Many traders were of the opinion
that outside interest in grain mar
ketS still was too small to expect
any sensational advance in prices.
but that commercial conditions
were sufficiently encouraging to give
the market firm undertone.
Reports on flour trade suggested
that the improvement was greater
than the trade generally appre-
ciated, which, in view of much re-
duced stocks and small movement
from the country, should be Of much
help to the market.

Washington would not permit de-
flation which was then urgently
necessary. In 1929-'32 the COM
mercial bankers who dominated the
Reserve System were too frightened
to initiate boldly. The result of both
errors was disastrous mismanage-
ment.
We have one organ of govern
ment in the United States which
is reasonably independent of poll
tics and of the contagion of popu-
lar moods. That is the supreme
court. AS we go forward to set up
permanently an agency to manage
the dollar, it is something like the
court that we have to contemplate,
a body Of distinguished men to
control the bank of issue, absolutely
withdrawn from money making of
any kind, out Of the reach OF par
tisan politics, and with prestige so
great that they can act without
fear or favor.
Such agencies are not to be Gre
ated out of hand. They must grow
and earn their reputation. Perhaps
it can be done. For it is what
needs to be done.
