KIDNAPPING IS
CHARGED MAN
La Feria Resident to Be
Returned to Valley In
Girls Disappearance

Chief Deputy Sheriff viii Cabler
left Thursday for Big Lake, Raglan
county. to return Clyde Vincent, q
here on . warrant charging him with
kidnapping a 14-year-old La Feria
girl. The warrant for Vincent's ar
rest was sworn cut before Justice

girls father. a farmer who resides
near La Feria.
Under state law, the penalty for
kidnapping Is from five to Is years or
q fine not TO exceed $1,000.
According to the story told in
vestigating officers, the man, VINO
had not lived in the Valley very long,
and school girl disappeared from Ia
Feria on June 10th and their trail
was picked up thaJugh q postcard
the girl mailed to ner parents stat
ing that she was "all right" and urg-
ing them mot TO worry"
Officers will attempt TO prove that
Vincent took the girl 70 Oklahoma,
Arkansas. Louisiana and back into
Texas before being arrested at Big
Lake.
The girls father and brother
came here wednesday for a confer
ence with Deputy Cabler after no
tice had been received Of Vincents
arrest in Big Lake. The family was
greatly relieved and asked that the
young girl be brought back by De-
putty Cabler. The father said the
family had spent all OF its money in
an effort TO locate the missing pair.
Officers indicate that the charges
against Vincent probably will be
changed but they have not decided
on what charges will be filed. There
Is q possibility. they say. that the
federal government might step into
the case because Of its interstate
angles.

Ambitious Plans

The crushing misfortune which 50
Unexpectedly disrupted the expedi-
ton climaxed almost a year Of pre-
paration. Plans for the attempt were
started Immediately after the flight
last July ended IN near disaster over
central Nebraska.
The flight Friday was to have been
the most ambitious undertaking
Of its kind rel attempted. The BAL
loon, made OF approximately 2 %
acres Of rubberized cotton fabric.
was the largest every built. The nine
foot gondola also was Of record
size. Captain Anderson was conf
dent the craft would break the Off
cial record Of 116 miles, with pros
poets Of reaching a height OF IA
miles.
Just what caused the mammoth
bag to rip at the 18th hour will not
be determined until the invcstiga-
ton Is completed. Plans called for
inspection Of the fabric sometime
Friday. A heavy dew covered the
grass at the flight base. and officials
decided TO wait until il evaporated
before unrolling the balloon.
Captain Stevens said he would
make an Official report 10 the War
Department Sc washington and
Geographic Society officials indi-
Gated they also would report through
their Washington headquarters.
What stunned US regarding the
accident" Capt. Stevens said. "was
that everything had gone so smooth
~ and extra precautions had been
taken to make the balloon as strong
as possible. Special efforts were
made to have the top strong. and IL
was probably three times as strong

NO PATRONAGE
FOR LOUISIANA
This Is Farley's Retalia,
ton Against Longs
Opposition

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (UP)
The ''imps of hell" prodded Sen.
Huey P. Long, d., La, last night
with their three-pronged pitch
forks.
Then they poured some brim-
stone into the Kingfish's wounds
and waited results. expectantly.
In q speech on the senate floor,
Long called James A. Farley, the
chief imp in administration attacks
upon L0uisiana's affairs. So the
postmaster general obliged by
leading the cOuntcr-offensive.
Most of what Farley said about
Long isn't to be printed. The rest,
though, is pointed as any imp's
spear.
Chief Imp Farley thinks Huey
P. Long talks too much. He thinks
Huey isn't very important. He's
goin= to ignore Huey. He intends
to give Huey not one small speck
of patronage.
And if that doesn't turn the
trick, the imps viii figure out
something else with which to re-
press the irrepressible Long. All
this developed at a press confer
ence in the Grand Centralesque
offices of the p. NJ. e.
i reporter representing New
Orleans newspaper asked how
about the Louisiana appoint
mcnts? What was going to hap
pen 10 them?
That's where the two impS ap-
piled the birthstone. They said
there aren't going to be any ap-
pointments for Louisiana.
Meanwhile the senate banking
committee took cognizance OF
Longs charges regarding man
agement of Hole loans IN LOUIS
lana by appointing a sub-commlt-
tee headed by Senator Robert j..
Democrat, Ohio, to lnVes-
tigate irregularities IN dlSourSe-
mGrCS.
Long also figured in the news
when the District Of Columbia su-
preme court rebuffed him again
in mis- fight to evade trial OF a
100000 libel suit filed by Cen
eral Samuel T. Ansell, former
Judge advocate general of the
army. Justice Daniel w. ODono-
ghue yesterday dismissed Longs
motion for a more specific state
nent of Ansell's suit.

mixed another stiff drink. He
drank it and poured more into
his glass. He wanted TO forget
AIMS eyes. They had been
frightened, appealing rather than

What was the matter with the

what lots of girls would con-
slider a lark? What had being
good brought Ann? Only that
stuffy place in . book store and
the companionship of an old
WORKOUT couple whose lives, he

had.
Being good had brought Ann

cheap brown coat and q funny
little hat she had probably pick
ed up in q basement, to the point
where she slopped about in the
cold rain wearing ugly galoshes
when she could be riding around
