Giants Hurt By
Loss of Parmalee

Philadelphia, April 27.-(UP)-
Manager Bill Terry Of the New
York Giants admitted before leav-
ing for Boston that pitcher Leroy
Parmelee's operation for appendi-
citis sis a great blow to our club"
Terry said he had been count
ing on Parmelee to win from Is to
20 games this season, but now he
probably will be out of the game
for several weeks, at least.
The manager is uncertain about
q pitching replacement. How
ever, writer's with the club believe
he will not try to obtain an out
side finger. Instead, he is expect
ed to depend upon one of the
other moundsmen to come through,
probably Johnny Salveson.

four" pitchers of the world cham
pion New York Giants who UNDER

YOUTH HELD
BY K|DNAP PERS

NEW YORK, Oct. II. U.P)-
Warned by kidnapers not to CO.
operate with police, the family of
Louis Esposito, %, held for $4,000
ransom, today dismissed authorities
seeking to help release the youth.
Esposito, son of a wealthy Bronx
wholesale junk dealer, disappeared
Monday night. His abandoned car
was found near the home of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, Lindbergh
prisoner.
Despite the family's refusal to
cooperate, police continued on the
case. 1t was understood a depart
ment of justice agent had been as
signed to assist.
A friend of the family said he
was sure the father had offered
$4,000 for Louis safe return. The
fathers wealth was said to be tied
up in real estate and $1,000 was all
he could obtain in cash.
Police learned that shortly after
9 o. M, Monday, young Esposito' Is
married sister answered telephone
call. She shrieked and tainted
when a voice informed her that
Louis had been kidnapped and that
'fyou won't see him again unless
you pay us $4,000. And don It
talk to the cops.'

HAUPTMANN CASE
TAKES new TURN
Defense May Use Lindbergh
Words to Disprove Murder
Charge.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
FLEMINGTON, N. j.. November 5
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's new
defense battery set up its guns today
with indications that it would use Col
Charles A. Lindbergh's words as am
munition in an attempt to prove
Hauptmann did not kill the flyers in
fant son.
An authoritative source disclosed
that Lindbergh's testimony in the
hoax" trial of John Hughes Curtis
shipbuilder of Norfolk, Va, will be
used in an effort to show that a
gang" not a lone man, kidnapped
Charles Lindbergh, jr., and took
S50,000 ransom after the baby was
dead.
At the trial Lindbergh told of two
persons near the scene of ransom
payment besides the recipient and
said he had come to the conclusion
that the mysterious John" who got
the money was one of a gang.
A lengthy and confidential" con-
ference with his new client was
planned today by Edward J. Reilly,
veteran Brooklyn attorney who on
Friday was named defense counsel,
succeeding James M Fawcett.
Reilly also planned to confer with
Lloyd Fisher, counsel for Curtis. who
has been retained as his New Jersey
associate. First. however, he planned
to see Attorney General David T
WilentZ to obtain permission to visit
Hauptmann in his cell

A device called the "shoal fatho-
meter" which measures the depth of
shallow water as accurately as foot
rule, is sciences newest aid to sailors
and navigators.
The "fathometer," according to the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, measures
by a sound so shrill that 1t cannot
be heard.
The new device Is expected to be
an important aid to ships navigating
in shoal water and In making charts
of shallow water areas. 1t Is an
adaptation and improvement of the
deep water fathometer, used by the
Coast Survey In charting coastal
waters and by ships generally for
about nine years.
Device Exceptionally Accurate.
The "shoal fathometer," like the
deep water type, measures depth by
sound to travel from ships keel to
the sea bottom and to echo back to
the ship again.
The new device, however, Is much
more accurate and sensitive than the
old, for 1t measures almost unbe-
lievably brief time intervals, as short
as few thousandths of a second.
with an accuracy Of four one-hundred
thouSandths of second.
Sound travels 4,800 feet per second
in sea water. Therefore. to measure
depth Of II feet under a vessels
keel the sound would have to travel
only a total Of "a feet-from ship to
bottom and back-and the time
elapsed would be only five one-thou-
sandths of a second. The shoal
fathometer measures this short time
accurately and translates it into a
flashing point of light on a dial which
shows the navigator at once how
much water he has under his keel
within one inch of perfect accuracy
Supersedes Lead" Method.
1t also works 80 fast that the depth
of water can be measured every 10
inches along the bottom, giving a
