AS today marked the end Of the
weeks time" the family hoped
that they might establish the con"
tact that would mean the eventual
return Of their child.
Proceedings Secret
Although Balcom denied that
a second note had been received,
it was considered likely that he
refused to admit knowledge of
the matter in an effort to keep
the proceedings as secret as
possible in the hope that it would
tend to convince the kidnapers
they might return the child.
It was also said that this
second ransom note which was
reported to have been received
yesterday had instructions for
secrecy and that federal officials
had not been permitted to see
the miSsive.
It also was stated that the sig.
nature of the little kidnap victim
was scrawled on the envelope Of
the second note.
According to the report which
was gaining wide circulation, the
abductors in their second note,
ruled out Balloon and F. Rodman
Titcomb, uncle of the child and
an executive of the Weyerhaeuser
timber interests, as intermedi-
aries.
Additional information lending
weight to the theory that Alvin
"Old Creepy" Karpis and his
quick-trigger henchmen are the
kidnapers continued to pile up
here today.
A service station attendant told
International News Service that
two men in black Cadillac tour
ing car bearing California license
plates had driven into his station
for gasoline last Sunday and had
departed in great haste, without
waiting for him to wipe the cars

Harry Campbell, Karpis' first
lieutenant" is known to have pur-
chased such a car in California
late last year. The car never has
been located. though reports of its
appearance have caused intense
concentrations of Federal men
throughout northern California,
Washington and Oregon.

Luer was "snatched" from his

Haemophilia is the absence Of

reason haemophilia sufferers are

SHARE WEALTH
APOSTLES HOLD
CONFERENCE
10000 Jehovah's Witnesses
Study Ways to Bring About
Perfect Government

Ten thousand apostles Of q
"share-the-wealth" doctrine far
surprising the programs advanced
by Louisiana's famed Senator
Huey Long, were in convention
today at the Washington Audi
forum.
The delegates are members Of
Jehovah's witnesses and Com
panions, an organization founded
in 1878 by the late Charles T. Rus
sell in Philadelphia and embrace
ing a worldwide membership.
Urge Wealth Sharing
Made up Of Bible students and
not affiliated with any other re-
ligious group, the organization is
striving for the formation Of "a
perfect and equitable form Of Gov
eminent for all men throughout
the world" Their beliefs are
taken from the Scriptures and are
climaxed by a theory that when
the perfect government is formed.

earth.
The delegates believe, based on
the Biblical version Of the raising
of Lazarus from the dead, that
when the perfect government is
formed the dead will be resurrect-
ed by Christ when he returns to
rule. But the perfect government
will not be formed, according to
the organization theories, until
greed and selfishness are stamped
out and each person on earth
equally shares the earth's wealth,
land and other benefits.
There were no forecasts as to
how long it will take to achieve
this ideal.
Members Baptized
The outstanding figure at the
convention is Judge Joseph F.
Rutherford, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
president Of the organization. He
will deliver a public address at
8 p. m. Sunday dealing with ways
to obtain the perfect government.
The convention will adjourn
Monday. Baptism of new mem
bers of the organization is sched-
uled for Saturday.

which fashioned the sIave-Owning
policy of the United States. The
President is understood to believe
that the problems presented by
the Court need not necessarily be
remedied by another amendment
to the Constitution.
The President read from a pile
OF kilograms which he has re-
ceived in the last three days from
business men all over the country
imploring him to do something to
TeeStablish the MIRA codes.
Emergency Cited
The President discussed the fact
that the code which the Court had
under consideration was passed IN
an emergency and prevented un-
fair practiSes, but regardless OF
whatever the emergency was the
Court declares it unconstitutional
because the original NRA act did
not set forth the entire code clearly
in detail.
The President appeared some
what bitter over the fact that no
matter what the emergency, any
act of Congress had to be so COM
pletely constitutional that it might
take many lawyers many days or
weeks to write an act that would
meet with the Courts approval.
He called attention to the fact
that most of the legislation during
the World War conferred extraor-
binary powers on the Federal
Government and the President,
granting them unusual control
over both property and lives.
Much Of it was far more extraor-
binary than the MIRA legislation,
he holds.
Can Be Redrawn
However, the delegation Of
power to the President, which the
court found fault with, is not so
important in Mr.. Roosevelt's opin-
ion. It is evident that Mr.. Roose'
welt believes that a new MIRA act
can be written with improved Ian

while abroad, and added this belief
was shared by leading economists with
whom he talked.
