on Sea Trip.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 30.-The World
Telegram says kidnapping threats
against his children caused E. L. Cord,
motor and aviation msgnate, TO de-
eide upon a long cruise aboard his
yacht Virginia.
The yacht, loaded with provisions
for year, the newspaper says, sailed
yesterday for England, where Cord,
his wife and four children are re-
ported to have lived under guard the
last two months.
Last March, however, when reports
of kidnapping threats against two sons
by a former marriage were first pub
lished, he denied them vigorously.
At that time the boys, Charles and
Bill, students at the Culver Undiana>
Military Academy, were met by two
motor cycle policemen upon their
arrival at Pasadena, Calf, en- route
to their home in Beverly Hills.
Blamed misunderstanding.
Cord explained the presence of the
police was due to misunderstanding
arising from casual conversation he
had with the baggage man at the
Pasadena Station. in which he asked
whether there was a policeman on
duty there
The employment of two guards at
his Beverly Hills estate was ascribed
by him at that time to a Gesire to
keep out providers who had scaled his
high fence.
The World Telegram says nu-
merous threats have been received
by Cord in the last year. but he paid
no attention to them until the recent

report; that the utility people had
access to the mimeograph accounts
and distributed their own analyses OF

asked her whether she had ever been
treated for mental disease"
You know that is not true and
