member. Dockweiler and Justice S.
Wordell took the lead in California in
the campaign to send Roosevelt dele
cation to the Chicago convention.
Dockweiler's Endorsement of Johnson s
candidacy was made public by Repre-
sentative McGrath, Democrat, who
recently announced his own support of
Senator johnson, a progressive Re-
publican.
Service Is Recalled.
Dockweiler's letter to McGrath fol-
lows, in part:
II have been. am now and will con-
tinue to be for Senator Johnson for re-
election as United States Senator. He
did more than any other individual or
group of individuals to turn California
to Roosevelt in 1882. He is more Of a
real Democrat than many bearing the
label. I cannot conceive of any re-
sponsible Democrat in California Offer
ing himself as senatorial candidate in
opposition to Senator Johnson"
The Roosevelt administration, through
Postmaster General Farley. Democratic
national chairman has put its stamp
Of approval on the johnson candidacy
for the Senate next Fall and appar-
emily is aiding in the campaign to keep
Democratic opposition to johnson to a
minimum. The denomination and re-
election of Senator johnson has been
threatened by the regular and Hoover
Republicans in California.
California House Support.
California has II Democratic men,
bers of the House and nine Republican
members. Practically all of the Demo-
cratic members have come out with in
dorsements Of Senator johnson for re-
election.
The one fly in the ointment so far
has been Representative John H. Hoep-
pei, Democrat, of Arcadia, Calf. Hoep-
pei represents the 18th district. He has
been urged by friends in California to
get into the race for the Senate him
self on the Democratic ticket 1t is
believed, however, that Hoeppel will
support Senator Johnson if his name
goes on the ballot. His reluctance to
indorse Senator johnson so far has
been due to an objection to indorsing
q Republican for election. Hoeppel
served 20 years in the Army as an
enlisted man and during the World
War was commissioned as first lieu
tenant in the aviation corps. He has
been prominent in veterans organiza-
tions.

The abductors thrust a typewriter
note into the hands Of Mrs. Boettcher,
an expectant mother, and sped away.
Negotiations were begun at once to
meet the demands of the captors.
Don't notify police" said the note
handed to Mrs. Boettcher. Follow in
structions. Remember the Lindbergh
baby would be alive if ransom had been
paid. Notify us through a want ad
saying ready to come home, please
write"
Days of anxious waiting followed

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February IA five-vol-
ume history of tire retailing, as con-
tanned in advertisements of Sears, Roe
buck g. Co. was presented yesterday in
the Federal Trade Commissions in
ouiry into charges of violation of anti
trust laws against the Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co.
The volumes we're part Of mass OF
evidence assembled by the Government
during two years of investigation into
the trade practices of the rubber in
dustry.
Through them, p B. Morehouse
counsel for the commission, said he
hoped to show that, by permitting il
legal price discrimination and payment
of bonuses. the Goodyear Co. had in
terfered with fair competition.
Tire Counsel Objects.
The introduction of the advertise
ments was blocked temporarily by OBJ
lection from Spencer Gordon, counsel
for Goodyear. who protested the photo
static copies of the evidence had been
marked by counsel for the commission
with a red pencil
He contended the publication of the
underscored advertisements would be
unfair to his client.
Examiner John w. Bennett finally
ruled the photostatic copies could be
used only for the interrogation Of wit
nesses for the present.
D. M Nelson, vice president in charge
OF merchandising of the Sears COM
pany testified the first-line brand Of
tires sold under the Sears trade mark
was equal in quality, in his opinion, to
any first-line tire.
Under further questioning. he ad-
mitted he had the Goodyear product in
mind, as well as that of other COM
panies.
Promised Tire Stock.
In previous hearings. conducted at
Akron, Ohio, copies of contracts had
been introduced to show that in return
for q 1O-year contract, the Goodyear
company had promised the Sears COM
pany $4,000 shares of Goodyear stock
and 100000 with which to buy $4,000
more shares.
Fred Morgan of Kansas City. former
manager of special brands tire sales
for the Goodyear company. testified
that although he was in charge of the
tire sales department at the time the
bonus contract was made, he had no
knowledge of it.
Protest by Goodyear counsel against
the similarity of questions asked by
Morehouse concerning the Sears ad-
vertisements, brought a comment from
Morehouse The first 500 questions
will be the hardest"
A record of the total tire sales Of
Sears during the past years was in
troduced by Morehouse.

Whole-hearted cooperation in the
prosecution of Verne Sankey arrested
yesterday in Chicago, was promised last
night by Haskell Bohn, who in June,
1882, was the desperado's captive for
a week before being ransomed for
$4,000
L sure am glad they caught him."
said Bohn, 22-year-old son of a re-
frigerator manufacturer. Il don't think
1 could identify him except by his
voice, though. But we'll do our utter
most and then some to help"
Despite Sankey's denial that he was
implicated in the Bremen case. Police
Chief Thomas Dahill said possibly
some of Sankey's mob is in on the
Bremen snatch"

Moulden said the Senator did not
get in a heavy blow with his cane.
When he struck me he said, Get
the hell out Of here"
The newspaper man said the Long
group Immediately was whisked away
in the automobile. Moulden Is slightly
over feet tall and weighs 120 pounds.
The Senator apparently had been
playing a game of hide-and-seek with
the reporters. Queries at his rooms
elected the information this morning
the Senator was "out."
On Capitol Hill at 9 o'clock this
morning the Senator's secretary de-
clared he came to work there at am,
and would be busy there most of the
day.
Mayor Walmsley arrived by airplane
yesterday, fighting mad over charges
which Senator Long hurled at him in
the recent New Orleans mayorality
campaign. Walmsley registered at the
Mayf1ower Hotel by choice, he said, since
the Senator resides there.
Walmsley pointed out, however he Is
here to see P. w. A. and c. w. A.
officials about the recovery program in
New Orleans, rather than to seek Sena-
tor Long out and make him swallow
those words"
Said the 6-foot mayor, who also is
the holder Of II athletic letters from
Tulane University:
Il don't intend to place myself in
the position of a mayor laying in wait
for Senator, but if I see him I am
going to beat him up"
Assurance Reported.
This assurance was given newspaper
men last night, on the mayors arrival
at the Mayf1ower, and repeated today.
The self-styled ''Kingflsh of Louis
lana" told the Associated Press, We'll,
here's hoping Walnlsley doesn't run into
me-
The fstic challenge is "old stuff" the
Senator said The Senator's friends
declared this morning that Walmsley
had repeated the challenge time and
again during the recent mayoralty race,
but made no move to make good.
Fine" laughed Walmsley today,
that's fine but Huey Long
knows I'm a man Of action rather than
of words.
During the campaign in New Or
leans the Senator had seven body
guards. I've been told he has a body
guard here
We'll. I don't care, so long as the
fight is fair. My only weapons and my
only bodyguards are my two fists.
I'm staying until Saturday night. I
understand the Senator is often about
the hotel. I'm not going to the dining
room tonight Just to meet Senator
Long, but all the same, I'm going TO
eat there!"

The Blue Eagle. most publi-
cized bird in America, is soon to
have an offspring that may be-
come more widely known than
the original
With a majority Of industries
already under codes or about to
enter that state, the N. r. A. is

bird to be displayed by all manu-
featuring code signers
The new eagle will be more
original than the old, in that
each manufacturer will be given
registration number for his
bird Each insignia reproduced
on labels or displayed elsewhere
thus will identify the displayee
by number.
Such a method is to be fol-
lowed as one means of inspiring
code compliance The bird and

LONDON, February P).-Three
curity for all and the Reich's return to
Geneva conferences-were put forward
in a British government memorandum
published last night as essentials of any
disarmament pact.
Actuated by a spirit Of trying fairly
to meet essential claims on all sides, "
Great Britain accordingly proposed a
number of amendments to its draft
convention of last March.
The document was dispatched to the
German, Italian and French govern
ments on Monday.

Britain thus swung in with Chancel-
lor Hitler's often-repeated plea for
arms equality and Frances just as in
sistent demand for security because 1t
said:
THE object of his majesty's gov
eminent in formulating these pro-
posals and presenting them for consid-

the claims or needs of others, but to

circumstances a general agreement
could and should now be reached"
Admitting that diplomatic CONVEX
sations which have been taking place
since November make it appear that
this method cannot in itself produce
a unanimous result" the communica-
tion was said to have been presented
"in order to indicate the lines of COM
promise" which should generally be
acceptable
Reconciliation Is Vital.
The reconciliation of French and
German viewpoints in the disarmament
deadlock was recognized as another es-
sential.
The note added that Great Britain
has long recognized that in an inter-
national agreement based on an ad-
mitted principle of equality of rights
a situation must be reached in which
arms Of . kind permitted in one state
cannot continue to be denied to an

It was suggested to the hotel manage
ment that the orchestra strike up the
"Toreador Song" from Carmen should
the political enemies meet over their
soup.
AS a matter of fact, chance all but
brought the embattled pair together
shortly before noon today in the May
flower lobby
Senator Long decended on the ele-
vator from his rooms, accompanied by
four well set-up friends, just minutes
after Walmsley went up on the elevator
from the main floor.
The five men walked swiftly toward
an entrance with one newspaper re-
porter in pursuit. Have you a state
ment. SENATOR" cried the reporter
The Senator turned in some annoy
ance and pushed the reporter away with
his cane. Then he ana his friends en-
tered an automobile bearing Louisiana
tags and drove away, presumably for
the Capitol.

II sought to interview Senator Long
after he had emerged from the entrance
to the hotel" said the reporter, Ray
Moulden of the Washington News, ''and
had climbed to a big black limousine
with Louisiana license tag on it.
Il tried to ask him some questions
me over the right shoulder with load
ed walking cane. 1t had big knob
on the end of it. and he struck me
with that" Moulden told the Associ-
ated Press.
He then showed me with his open
hand down into the snow. Three big
husky bodyguards he had with him in
the back seat laughed. The Senator
then banged the door. and it barely
