Los Angeles Jury Recommends
Extreme Penalty For Pair In
Torture Case.

LOS ANGELES, March / U.P(-
California kidnap-bandits We're de-
,ivered a stunning blow today by a
Les Angeles jury of seven men and
five women returning death PEN
atty verdict against two accused
torture robbers.
Invoking for the first time the
new California law fixing kidnapping
as a capital crime, the jury decreed
that Harry Brooks and William
Tanner should die on the gallowS
for forcing a local attorney at pis-
tol point TO walk into his home and
submit TO robbery and torture.
Death sentence on Tanner was con-
tingent on him being found sane
at a hearing. scheduled some time
today.
Less than five hours were re-
quired by the jury to find Brooks
and Tanner guilty of robbing Henry
Bodkin. the attorney. of Sl,700.
Local authorities hailed the yer-
dict as a smashing victory over
crimes Of violence.
1T is one of the most far reach
ing in California criminal juriSpru-
dence." District Attorney Buron
Fits remarked.
1--WE will continue to prosecute
under this statute in the hope that
succeeding blows OF this nature will
help stamp out crimes OF violence. y
This is one of the most effect
i've and valuable legal steps ever
taken in California to deter kid
naping,' commented police chief
James E. Davis.
According to trial testimony, Bod
kin and his wife were held up by
three bandits as they left their
home for a party last December l6.
They were forced back into the
house. After robbing the attorney,
the bandits applied lighted papers
to the soles of his bare feet in an
effort to force him to reveal the
hiding place of S350.000 they be-
lieved he was concealing.
James Hill. third defendant,
turned state s evidence and is await
ing sentence from one to 10 years
on a robbery charge.
Interpreting the law, Superior
Judge Charles w. Fricke told the
Jury that the mere coercion of a
person from one place to another
in this case from the garage to the
house-conStituted kidnapping under
the statute.
Brooks, reputed former bootleg
ger. will be sentenced next Monday.

War Secretary Denounces Plan
To Have Branch Separate
From Army And Navy.
BY HOBART c. MONTEE

! WASHINGTON, March I. = AM
erica IS proud aviation development
was thrown into new controversy
today by a frank statement by
/ George II. Dern, secretary of war.
roundly denouncing proposals to
create an independent aerial corps.
outside the confines of either army
or navy.
Dern S statement was made as
aviation and the army already were
subject OF no less than four inde-
pendent disputes and inquiries.
These we're:
Pending congressional investiga-
tion of army procurement methods
with especial reference to evasionS
OF the law in bids for aircraft man
ufacture.
Senate airmail committee investi-
cation of contract air mail flying
Criticism OF army aviation ability
in connection with its handling of
the air mail service.

investigation Of army contractors re-
lationS with the war department.
Dern S statement was made in
communication TO Rep. j. j. Nc
Swain (DemD South Carolina,
chairman of the house military af-
fairs committee whose request for
authority and funds to investigate
the army procurement situation was
expected to be acted on today
Dern Informed McSwain that the
unified air corps plan under con-
Sideration by the house committee
would be so diSruptive of the army S
military effectiveness that he would
prefer to have no increase in the
strength of the army air corps than
see the plan adopted.
He said the war department ex-
pressed its view on reorganization
of the army air corps in asking for
1000 additional airplanes.
Now, Dern said, two completely
different proposals had been intro
duced. One for creation of a sep
arate air force. the other for con-
truction of an air force of 5000
planes. The first bills he said,
would provide an air force SO far
beyond any sane estimate of our
defensive needs. and so costly, that
its passage could be construed by
the world only as evidence eithec
of ardent militariSm, or immediate
war
The other while as unsound as
the former, has the additional defect
of being built through a process OF
tearing down other vital elements
OF the balanced framework of de-
fense."
but to an unremitting, though
distorted publicity he added
many Americans are predisposed
to the belief that the airplane will
dominate future war, and that the
possession of a powerful air force,
alone, will make our country safe
such a belief is romantic. -
