ALICE is BACK,
We ARE HAPPY
FAMILY SAYS
Brother-in-LaW EIated Over
Return of Mrs.
StoiI.
BY WILLIAM STOLL
Brother-in-Law of Mrs. Alice Ston
As Told to the United Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 16.--The
most horrible experience in the his
tory of our family came to a happy
end tonight when Alice was brought
back home, safe and sound.
You can not understand the re-
lief it has brought to all of us, es-
pecially my brother, Berry, who has
been almost crazy with grief and
worry. For days we did not know
whether she was dead or alive.
When she was returned tonight,
about 9:25. she was in good health
and do not believe she is suffering
under a great nervous strain. OF
course she suffered, knowing the
anxiety of her husband and rela-
tives
She was not mistreated by her
kidnapers, she said.
She appeared to us to be in good
physical condition, considering the
ordeal through which she just has
passed.
Our hopes were running high
throughout today because of iufor-
nation which had been provided us
and because of certain contacts we
had made, but we had no real in
formation that she would be re-
turned tonight. In fact, we did not
know until she was found whether
she was actually alive.
In our JOY tonight, of course, we
haven't thought of the search for
the actual kidnaper, who has been
identified to me as one T. H. Robin
son Jr.

While waiting for the kidnaping's
end and Mrs. StollS return to her

tim, and with Mrs. NJ. E. Clegg, the
pastors mother, assuring them that
everything would come out all right.

The federal agents sought to
reach behind the kidnapping veil and
reveal the events that led up to
Mrs. Stolrs appearance yesterday
afternoon in the frame parsonage of
Mr.. Clegg, from where she was
transported home.
Agents scurried in and out of Off
ces of the bureau of investigation OF

ment. It was pointed out TO the
Soviets that this was no longer a
credit in the ordinary commercial
sense but an outright loan.
Public Opinion Is Obstacle.
When the State Department renewed
negotiations with the Soviet Ambss-
sador last Wednesday night Troyanov-
sky was found in an adamant mood.
He insisted that the United States
grant Russia, before any other mat
ters are discussed, an outright loan of
some $100. 0.0oo, 900.
1t was pointed out to him that
neither American public opinion nor
the Congress would agree to approve
a loan to foreign country today,
even If it we're disguised as an open
credit. The United States Govern
ment is ready. Troyanovsky was in
formed, to guarantee the American
exporters through the Soviet American
Bank any reasonable credits over a
period OF years, but to place at the
disposal of the Soviet government
even a small amount of money to be
disposed of by Moscow in any way it
wanted was an impossibility.
The State Department does not in
tend to renew negotiations until the
Soviet government offers some sugges-
ton which may form the basis of new
discussions.

A complete outline of conditions In
Russia as they exist now was given at
a Joint meeting of the Kiwanis and
Rotary Clubs of Arlington County
Yesterday by DIR. Tracey e. Strevey,
professor of history at the Milwaukee
branch Of the University Of Wisconsin.
Although Russia Is better of now
than Is years ago. DR.. Strevey said,
she can hardly expect to reach the
height of Western civilization in less
than so years. He exploded the theory
that everyone in Russia is on an equal
basis, declaring that some are allowed
to own big cars and have bank ac-
counts while others have hardly
enough to eat.
Referring particularly to Russia.
Germany and the Balkan countries,
Prof. Strevey asserted that Europe is
better prepared for war now than in
1914.
