KIDNAPPED PAIR
IRKS SHERIFF
Both Victims of Abduc-
ton Holding Up Probe,
Says Gallup Officer.

By United Press
GALLUP, N. M, May 4.-Author-
tiles by intimation today accused
Robert Minor, Communist leader,
and David Levinson, labor attorney,
of obstructing the investigation into
their own kidnapping.
Sheriff D. w. Roberts, who
thought the kidnapping a hoax while
Mr.. Minor and Mr.. Levinson were
returning to civilization after being
abandoned in the desert by their
abductors, said peace officials had
not been permitted to interview
either of the men.
I'VE hope to learn enough about
the case today so that definite link
in the kidnapping might be estab-
lished," he said.
Authorities were turned away
from Mr. Minor and Mr.. Levinson
on the plea that they were resting,
Sheriff Roberts said.
The kidnapped men returned here
surrounded by a police guard pro-
vided by Gov. Clyde Tingley. Their
heads were swathed in bandageS and
each carried a pistol. They declared
they would not be inundated by
masked men and were here for "a
finish fight"
Mr.. Levinson and Mr.. Minor to-
day began work on the defense OF
10 laborers charged with murder in
connection with the Staying of Sher-
if NJ. R. Carmichael during riot
of the unemployed April 4. They
worked with pistols in their laps, the
four state troopers provided by Gov.
Tingley at their backs.

You Can Bet Here!

It's so tough to lay bet in Indi-
annapolis today on the annual Ken
lucky Derby that the boOkmakerS
either are betting among themselves.
or going to Louisville to see the race
and play the mutuel machines.
Of course, if Chief Mike Morris
sey thinks he has made it impossible
to lay a bet in Indianapolis, he is
mistaken, because at least one
downtown spot will be in operation
and does not expect a visit from
Lieut.. Thomas Mccormick and mis-
vice squad.
The ma ority of the city boOkieS
decided it wouldn't be worth while
to send out agents on commission
basis and do their usual phone
business. Therefore it's a holiday
for them and many of them are in
Louisville or headed south this
morning.
For 10 days there have been re-
peated reports that the word
would be passed around to operate
for Derby Day in order to give the
bookieS a break. However, the
word" was not forthcoming, so the
hordeS of Speculative-minded per-
sons who ordinarily wouldn't try to
make bet except on Derby Day
are going to find it hard going.
OF course, if you have a friend
who knows the right phone number
he will lay your bet for you. A
great number of these once-a-year
betters are sending 81 to the track
with a friend who can afford "a
take the trip.
The high hat downtown resort
operators of which spent S27OO in
furnishing the joint and then were
allowed to remain open only a few
weeks, will be dark. However, an
other downtown place not so eX-
pensively QUILTED viii be open, it
was reported.
At least one resort outside the
CITY limits will be operating with
loudspeaker service for patrons and
if YOU care 10 drive out there, you
can hear the call of: AT the quar-
ter. Nellie Flag, Commonwealth and
Roman Soldier with Plat Eye and
Omaha running fourth and fifth.
Two dollars probably will get you
IS. if you can pick the winner.
Two other county resorts are ex-
pected to open today for the Derby
play and to operate from now on.
The feeling among the majority
of the bookies is that it may be just
as well that they're not operating
because the race is more wide open
than usual. Ordinarily, the Derby
play is very lucrative, because it at
tracts such a large number OF
wagerers who are not habitual play
ers. Then the pookies have the
gamble that the public favorite Will
be upset.
This year, however, there are at
lease seven horses believed by the
smart players to have a chance.

Harry Sawyer Trapped With Wife

BIZ United Press

DD CNltCH FTeSS
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The JUS
tice department revealed this after
noon the arrest of Harry Sawyer,
one of the principal members of the
shattered Karpis-Barker gang which
splotched the nation with murders,
kidnapings and other crimes.
Bureau of Investigation officials
disclosed only meager facts about
the seizure of Sawyer and his wife
in Pass Christian, Miss, last night.
He was taken to New Orleans for
questioning and arraignment.
Director j. Edgar Hoover, how
ever, said that while he hardly re-
garded Sawyer as master mind"
he most certainly was one of the
principal members of the gang"

resulting in the death of 81 persons
and injury to scores, also were re-
ported massing in various sections
of Cavite Province.
Constabulary headquarters here
said no reports of the notifications
had been received, but admitted
belief that an attack on a truck
near Ipo, Bulacan province, in
which one man was killed and an
other wounded, may signal further
disturbances.
Preparations to preserve peace,
meantime, were going forward on
many fronts.
The conStabulary, city police,
vigilantes and the Department of
Interior announced all provinces
known to be concentration points
of SakdaliSta ,evolutionists will be
patrolled heavily until after the
May IA plebiscite.
Intelligence units of the Philip
pines Constabulary disclosed that a
miscarriage of plans of Sakdalista
party leaders set off the bloody
uprising prematurely.
Moving swiftly to clean up ring
leaders of the guerilla outbreaks in
more than a dozen scattered towns
and villages, the constabulary dis
covered that Benigno Ramos, fugi-
tive Sakdalista chieftain, ordered
postponement of the instruction,
but his orders arrived after the re-
bellion already had broken out.

CHURCHILL DOWNS. LOUIS
WILLIE, KY, May A cold driz-
zling rain, which threatened to turn
the track for the siXty-first running
of the Kentucky Derby into a rib
bon of mud, greeted the thousands
of early arrivals today at Churchill
Downs.
The rain, which started shortly
after breakfast time, COMPOUNDED the
experts for they had blandly pre-
dicted clear day and a lightning
fast track.
Their forecast seemed to have
only a fighting chance for fulfill
ment at noon. No amount of sky
gazing revealed a single break in
the low, leaden clouds.
The mile oval of the Downs,
which dried out with astonishing
rapidity yesterday, was only frac-
ton of a second slow at daybreak
today when the early morning
breezers were clicked. But as it
appears now that it will come up
mud"
Today in Bad Shape
Shortly after 1 p m. track veter-
sibility that c. V. Whitney's Today
would not go to the post. He has
a swollen right knee, the result of
an infection IN his right hook.
The veterinarians have been in
constant attendance at the Whit
ney stable in an effort to keep the
son of Whichone-Afternoon in rae
ing shape.
It was also learned that Jockey
C. Landolt would have the leg up
on Hal Price Headley's gigantic
colt, Whopper, in the absence of G.
Haines who left for New York late
yesterday.
Field Is Cut to 20
The field, which was cut to 20 by
the early withdrawal of j. G. Flani-
CANS Chance View and j. S. Riley's
Color Bearer, was expected to be
further reduced by post time, which
is scheduled for about $40 Qndian-
apolis time).
AS in other fixed events, Ken
lucky Derby hopefuls are permitted
to wait until As minutes before the
bugle to make up their minds def
nitely. Weather conditions are ex-
pected to control the number of
scratches.
If the rain should stop by mid
afternoon the track still would have
a chance of being fast when the
field goes to the parade, for it is
recognized as the fast drying strip
in the country.
The vanguard of the 10000 crowd
which is expected to watch the run
ming of the race began to trek to
the Downs early.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., has disposed OF
one-fourth of his known S250,OOO,-
coo holdings in oil companies OF the
Standard Oil group within the last
eight months, it was revealed today
in reports to the securities and eX-
change commission.
Rockefellers holdings in three
key Standard Oil companies were
depleted in that time by SIT .019600
at current market rates, largely
through gifts to charitable and SCI
entific organizations His largest
gift-2 100000 shares in the So
Vacuum Oil company - was
made June 20, nine days after Pre-
sident Roosevelt asked congress for
higher taxes on estates and gifts
The securities and exchange
commission requires reports on in
dividual securities holdings that
amount to 10 per cent or more of
the stock Of any given company.
Rockefeller holds-or held, before
his most recent gifts-10 per cent
or more of the stock of Socony-
Vacuum. Standard Oil company of
New Jersey, and Standard Oil COM
pany of California.
The Rockefeller wealth has been
ysriously estimated at from $780,
100000 to $1,30o,0000O0. For years,
Rockefeller, who is 81, has been
pumping the family wealth into

Treasury officials stimated that

had been made in one gift. Under
