agents. who arrived by airplane during
the night, officers conducted q house
toulouse search at Butte in the hopes
of locating a possible hideout of the
32-year-old bank robber. 1t was in
that city that police recovered 15,155
of the kidnap ransom money from q
motor car Mahan abandoned Sunday.
Early today agents returned to
Butte from Dillon, Mont, after check
ing reports that q man resembling
Mahan had been seen there yesterday.
They we're unable to find a trace of
the man.
The search in Southeastern WASH
ington was prompted by reports that
had been seen at Dayton and later at
Pasco.
Guards Placed on Roads.
California, Nevada and Arizona Of
ficers joined forces in seeking to trap
a green motor car. containing the two
men and woman. 1t was seen yester-
Gay 40 Eailes below Las Vegas, New.
Sheriff Emmett Shay of San Ber-
nardino County, Calf, who swore in
additional men early today, said
guards had been posted on as many
roads as possible In the area bounded
by Needles on the south, Boulder City
on the north, the Colorado River on
the east and Nipton, Calf, on the
west.
Harmon NJ valley, 24-year-old ex-
convict, and his blond wife, taken
into custody here, awaited appearance
in Federal Court for an order remov-
ing them to Washington.
The two, alleged to have confessed
participation in the plot and to have
implicated Mahan, were named yes
terday in Federal charges of mail
fraud conspiracy filed at Tacoma A
similar charge was fled against Ma
mailing an extortion letter. The lat
ter charge stamped him as the man
suspected OF posting the ransom note
to the wealthy parents Of the kid
naped boy.
Hideout Is Found.
The first major break in the case
since the Valleys were taken into Gus
tody came yesterday with discovery
of the house at Spokane, Wash, where
the kidnap victim had been held for
eight days while negotiations were
under way for his release.
Federal agents swarmed through
the house, seeking evidence and fin
gerprints, and last night little George
was taken to the hideout.
Hanging to the coattails of agents,
the little fellow was unloaded before
the poorly kept residence in a FASH
ionable South Hil district OF Spokane.
The curlysheaded youngster was
rushed into the house where the of1i-
GERS carefully went over the rooms
behind drawn window shades.
When the officers emerged from the
house George hid his face in the coat
tails Of an ofieer, apparently having
been instructed to do so to avoid
photographers.
The house had been rented last
April 10 by r. L. Prescott, real
estate operator, to two men, one of
whom tossed q 500 bill on the
counter. Prescott declined to identify
pictures of Mahan or Valley as the
men

reduction to 10 cents of loans on

recommends benefit payments on a

on gross income rather than price per
pound; sale of cotton on net weight
basis. at sR9 ~
Cotton Committees Urged.
The new blue book also advocates q
foreign trade policy to remove as
many barriers as possible; encourage
ment for stabilization Of currencies;
quick action on the Japanese imports
report from the Tariff Commission;
several permanent cotton committees
to be established within the govern
ment to study and help cotton.
The book was presented privately

what to do about it. But it Is more
than mere off-hand secret recon-
mendation from business committee.

Even diplomats have to smile when
they think of the latest of Hitler's
moves. He turned q honeymoon into
a diplomatic threat. The honeymoon
was not his, but that of his first lieu
tenant, Gen. Goering.
The general was sent of TO lead his
bride in the same direction which may
some day be taken by the great Ger
man air force which he built up. The
honeymoon party included two secre-
taries of aviation and confidential OIL
cials from several ministries, as well
as Prince Philip of Hesse. brother
in-law Of the King of Bulgaria. Incl
dentally, the bride also went along.
The honeymoon party visited all the
countries which Germany is trying to
win over.

Hoover Talk Discounted.
There continues to be much gossip
about Mr.. Hoover's being the power
behind the grass roots" convention:
about the Hoover crowd getting back
into the party saddle; about Mr..
Hoover himself as a candidate next
year.
These popular gossip notions are
not shared by the Republican long
rangers viewing the situation from
Washington. AS nearly all of them
see it, Mr.. Hoover is a titular loader
without a substantial personal follow
ing; a good liaiSon man who can talk
to every Republican leader about prin-
ciples, but who cannot count on their
support for the next Republican NOM
ination; an acting leader pending the
selection of another. AS far as Re-
publicans in Washington are con-
cerned, there isn't any strictly Hoover
crowd"

A new gold-embossed idea has been

Committee for Economic Recovery"
This is the committee of business men
who have been cooperating un-

recall that the committee submitted
an extensive recovery plan several
weeks ago in a lavishiy prepared,
leather bound blue book, on which the
name Of each New-Deal recipient was
embossed in gold.

mond with the ten of spades. Lead another spade and ruff the last diamond.
 Now you pick up the last trump, lead the ace of clubs, and follow with the queen of clubs. West will have to return heart. This is a double dummy play and can be made only when you see all the hands.
 The safest way to play the hand Is for a squeeze. Win the first diamond with the ace, cash the king, and lead a trump. Then take the club finesse. West will get out of his hand by returning a club.
 You now run the hand down until you have only the ace of spades an dthe queen and seven of hearts. Dummy will have the ace and eight of hearts and the ten of diamonds.
 This forces West to bear down to the King and jack of hearts and the jack of diamonds. You now lead the ace of spades and West Is hopelessly squeezed.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem


 Today's hand is not difficult, but it is rather unusual. It was sent to me by Earl Bryan of Lakewood, o. It is unusual in the fact that the hand can be mace in two different ways. You can make the hand by means of a squeeze or an end play.
 West is justified in making two heart non-vulnerable overcall. North's bid, however, of two spades is just a little optimistic. Also South's bid of five spades is quite optomistic. believe 1t would be better to make a con structive overcall of three dia- monds, hoping thereby to direct club or a heart lead.
 Of course, after the five spade bid, North was Justified in going to six, due to the fact that he has the ace, of hearts.
 The Play
 Now, if West were kind enough to open the jack of hearts, the hand could be made easily by, al- lowing the trick to ride up to the queen. But at most tables, the queen of diamonds was opened.
 If you are playing hte hand for an end play, you will win with the ace ow diamonds and cash the king. Enter the dummy by play ing a small spade. and ruff dia-
