HEALTH MENACE
IN RELIEF DENIED
Hopkins Declares That
Properly Devised Nutrition
Policies Are Maintained.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Properly devised relief nutrition
policies have maintained the health
level of the millions of persons on the
F. E. R. A. rolls at a point compar-
able to the rest of the Nation, Ad-
ministrator Hopkins declared today
His statement, in which he said
that public health authorities had
found such condition to be a fact,
was in rebuttal to recent rumors that
the future health of those on relief
/ has been threatened by use of i'm
proper foods.
Advised on Diets.
Diets prepared by 800 home econ
omists advising relief families, he
added, meet all known nutritional
requirements with slight margin of
safety"
Hopkins acknowledged that con-
sumption of the more expensive
types of food had been reduced to
attain minimum COSTS" but said the
diet experts had lived on their selec-
tions long enough to prove that the
foods can be combined into satisfying
meals if the meals are carefully
planned and skillfully cooked"
Opinion Of Hopkins.
Health authorities, Hopkins said,
refused to be complacent over the
fact that the consequences OF the de-
preston have not been evident al
ready in terms of higher death rate
and an increase in tuberculosis and
malnutrition diseases
But he expressed belief that better
balanced diet - whose importance
hundreds of families had learned
at the same time they were shown
inexpensive ways of providing it
would be of lasting benefit on their
health.

ROBES KIDNAPPING
PROBE is PRESSED
Government Puts Ace Abduction
Investigator in Charge

BY the Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz.. June e-An ace
investigator of kidnapping has taken
over the task of battering down the
walls surrounding one of the Federal
Governments most battling cases
the desert abduction of little June
Robes.
Determined to solve the kidnapping
puzzle long after the little girl was
returned safely to her parents. the
Government has opened a Bureau of
Investigation field Office here with
Chapman Fletcher in charge
This development and the post
ponement of Oscar H. Robson's trial
on a charge of mailing one of the
ransom notes led to immediate specu-
lation on the apparent reluctance of
the Government to push the trial
despite the recent statement of J.
Edgar Hoover. department director.
that the case has been solved"
Chief among the speculations were
that:
l. The Government is afraid of its
case against Robson.
2. Confident it can establish through
experts that Robson wrote the ran
som notes, Government attorneys
hesitate to present the case to a jury
until some one has been arrested for
the actual abduction.
3. Developments, perhaps new ar
rests, are expected before the next
court term.

NEW YORK, June 8.-Department
of Justice agents prepared to enter
the case today as police abruptly dis
carded their theory that 5-year-old
John Raul was drowned in the East
River and concentrated on abduction
clues.
A well-dressed woman who was seen
leading a boy answering Johns de-
scription away from the neighborhood
where he lived Thursday night was
sought by detectives.
They also tried to trace the owner
of a gruff voice who telephoned the
missing boys mother last night and
said:
Don't worry Your child is safe.
God bless you
A Federal agent interviewed the
father during the day but Rhea
Whitley, in charge of the local De-
partment of Justice agents. said his
men were not yet taking an active
part.
The boy was last seen in a play
ground between fashionable Sutton
place and the East River. and his
father has expressed the belief that
he may have been seized by kid
napers who enormously supposed him
I to be a member of one of the wealthy
\families in the neighborhood.
