CHEMISTS first established that the covers
~ had been cleaned at some time with
commercial cleaner. Next they gave them a
bath of benZidene solution. a substance SO
sensitive to the presence of blood that it will
show its presence even in dilution of part in

darkened area appearing on the CLOTH
The invisible blood was then extracted and
tested to determine whether it was human or
animal. 1t was human
All human blood belongs to one of four groups
and further examination showed that the blood
in the seat belonged to group 1. The missing
victims blood type was unknown, SO that of
his parents tested Theirs belonged to
groups l and 2, respectively
Heredity of blood types more or less follows
the Mendelian laws; thus it seemed likely that
the blood of the victim belongs to group l or 2.
In sense these findings were not positive evil
dence that the victim had been in the car, but
they did establish the possibility.
In another kidnapping case the kidnaper. on
delivery of his charge after ransom had been
paid discarded the cap he had used as a dis

cap that, under the microscope, revealed char
acteristics that were of value in hunting the
criminal All people have hairs of different
colors but they usually follow a certain range
This one was light brown undyed, and its
oil-bulb was large and full probably indicating
a well-fed person who had not reached middle
age On the hair were traces of special hair
dressing and of alkai dust such as is collected
by a person riding through the Southwest.
Here again the findings were not conclusive

The microscope gave more concrete findings
in another case handled by the Department Of
Justice. A soldier accused of having mur-
dered his wife, staging an automobile accident
to hide his act When he was arrested his face
was covered with scratches, which, he insisted.

TO AGREE
ON wheat PROGRAM
SET FOR THURSDAY
international Group Will At
tempt to Increase and
Stabilize Prices

London, April 4.-(R)-The first in
ternational efforts In history to jack
up wheat prices and then stabilize
them will reach q climax Thursday.
Gathering In Rome, world wheat
experts will ponder new measures to
save from failure the wheat pact
drawn at London in August, 1888.
On the eve Of the conference, auth
oritative opinion Is that q united front
by the big four" wheat nations
Australia, Argentina, the United
States and Canada-will be essential
IL the meeting Is to be success.
Minimum prices for wheat and
wheat flour, strict control Of ship
ments from all countries and legisla-
tive measures to increase consumption
are outstanding recovery problems to
be considered.
It is believed by some that Canada
the worlds greatest wheat export
er-at last is ready to give whole
hearted support to the United States
In implementing the August wheat
pact.
The world wheat commission failed
to act on similar proposals In Lon
don January 20. largely because Can
ada was not ready to make further
commitments. She was just starting
to arrange for acreage reduction un-
der terms Of the August agreement,
which, due to her late season. could
not be carried out until April and May.
The United States, however, was able
to complete q 15-per cent reduction
In winter and spring sowing.
The situation also Is different in
Canada because the dominion gov
ernment was required to win support
Of the provincial governments. Can
ada Is going ahead now with . mark
citing control board being ret up to
allocate deliveries from producing Sec
tions.

insult awaited Wednesday efforts by
newly acquired British lawyers to de.
lay his extradition to the United

The aged fugitive sent one Of his
warders out Wednesday for a bag Of
peanuts. Then. while hundreds Of
curious pedestrians gazed up at his
little room, he walked up and down
before the window eating the goo
bers."
insult was in good health and ap-
peared less depressed after talking
with the lawyers trying to find some
loophole in the Turkish government
ruling that he must be handed over
to the United States for trial on lar
ceny and fraud charges.
His immediate interest was centered
on obtaining q small valise from his
chartered Greek freighter, the Maio-
tbs. lying In Istanbu harbor. The
valise was reported to contain i'm
portant documents.

Of the decision of the Turkish minis

sped final efforts to save insult from
extradition with hopes OF at least de-
laying the final action of handing In

There still was no indication Is ia
when insult will be extradited. An
