A sound recovery program, Mr.

Take Stand.

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-NIrs. Gloria

the long strain Of a court trial in
volving the future Of her lO-year-
old daughter Gloria-and Gloria's
$4,000. COMPLAINED to continue the

into court, with fourteen doctors in
attendance.
Mrs. Vanderbilt. who left the
hearing before Justice John F.
Carew yesterday after what was de-
SCrlbed as a heart attack. was pre-
pared to go on the witness stand to
refute charges that she was not a
good mother.
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, the
last Of a long series of witnesses
from the older generation of VAN
derblltS who are trying to keep
little Gloria from her mother, APP
peared triumphant as she left the
witness chair. Throughout her testi-
mony, Mrs. Vanderbilt, widow of the
late Reginald Vanderbilt and sister
in-law of Mrs Whitney, remained in
court to hear the worst"
When her own side opened, with
Lady Furness. her sister. taking up
the defense of Mrs. Vanderbilt's
morals and manners, she suffered
a slight collapse and left the room.
Gloria, the daughter, is believed
to have told Justice Carew she
would prefer to remain with her
aunt on the extensive Long Island
estate-where she has a pony, play
mates and other perqUisities of rich
little girls-than to return to a life
in which, her aunt and grandmother
insist. she was neglected.

testimony of two of Mrs. Wander

KIDNAPPING FAXED BY
TEACHER, POLICE SAY
Young Woman Found in Dressing
Room of Theater.
By United Press


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 26.-Vir-
ginia Switzer, 26-year-old school
teacher, whose supposed kidnapping
had south Mississippi and Louisiana
wildly excited yesterday and last
night, described the abductors down
even to their watch charms for the
benefit of police today.
When she finished, Detective Cap
tain Harry Griegson said: This
is the most outrageous hoax in all
my experience as a policeman"
Miss SWitzer was found in the
womenS dressing room Of a Canal
street theater last night. Her
hands were loosely bound and a gag
was so loosely tied into her mouth
that it fell out at touch. She said
her two kidnapers and their woman
companion brought her bound and
gagged not only into that theater
but one equally crowded, across the
street.

Nor has the apartment house Gus

she was held there until We told

We've been honest when show
ing the apartment but it didn't
seem to make any difference to the
people who looked at it."
Mrs. johnson added that apart
ment-hunters were more interested
in the kitchenette'S appurtenances
and equipment than in the kidnap-
ing lair.
Her husband said the apartment
had been redecorated.
Il think we've got it rented" he
added.

place would you?" Mrs. Johnson
asked The Times reporter.
Given an indefinite reply, she
assured the reporter that the apart

NRA and the agricultural adjust
ment administration.
The first, he declared, was under
taken on the false assumption that
an artificial rise in prices would be
beneficial in itself.
Government spending - provided
the money does not come from
taxes or from the transfer Of saw
ings to the government in the form
of loans, but is new money manu-
featured by the government through
the medium of bank credit - does
create purchasing power and arti-
fetal business activity, Mr.. Mills
said.
But, he added, this purchasing
power and activity can continue
only as long as the government con-
tinues to spend.
NRA Put Under Fire
The NRA has retarded rather
than promoted recovery, Mr.. Mills
charged.
He said that the idea had been to
create new purchasing power, but
that, with competition suspended
and the government encouraging
price fixing, costs and prices had
risen faster than purchasing power.
The G. o. P. leader dealt less
harshly with the AAA, saying that
the results of the agricultural pro-
gram were hard to appraise in view
of the drought, and admitting that
the farmers must have benefited
from the government payments"
But, he added a moment later, even
this benefit is temporary.
The strength of this republic lies
not so much in the virtue of its
rulers as in the common sense of its
people," Mr.. Mills said in conclu-
sion.
Common Sense" His Plea
THE time has come to apply some
Of that common sense.
I'VE must make it our business to
