of county commissioners to join

The proposition is that Hender-

The new class together with

The Fascist militia could sup

it possible for the ransom nego-

expect to go to work in earnest.
! Fear for the boys safety in
creased with the passing of the
deadline set by the kidnapers at
five days from Friday, when the
boy was abducted.
The parents of the nine-year-old
boy are torn between fear that
their son had been killed and hope
that the abductors were merely

safe means of collecting the ran
som.
The note was delivered last Fri

home and signed "Egoist." 1t said
the money must be paid in five
days, which period ended yester-
