Special Agents Concentrated at Ia

Hoover would go no farther than
to confirm reports that his agents had
been ordered to make an investigation.
He regretted publicity had been given
the case at Tacoma. on the ground the
investigation might be hampered
There have been only two other

Edward F. Bremen have been cap

Alvin Karpis, No. on the bureaus
list of wanted public enemies, is the
sole key member of the Karpis-Barker

that the bureau may consider Karpis

IF the trouble at Howard Univer-

Senate Bonus Debate
Hits New Low for
Clear Thinking.
BY PAUL MALLON,

TINE Senate debate on the bonus
was about up to the level of
the top of the period at the
Il end of this sentence.
For instance, leading Re
publican inflationist made the best
bonus defense speech. His argument
ran this way: There is already plenty
of money outstanding, but no one can
get it, because it is in the banks.
Therefore, Congress should pass the
bonus and put 2,000,0 100000 more in
circulation. This 1000, 10000 would
wind up in the banks within 80 days.
thus doubling the excess reserves
situation which the speaker deplored) }
The star speech on the other
side wdS made by an anti -bonuStte
lUho pleaded long and loudly that
the President. not Congress, had
the responsibility for money policy
and that therefore Congress should
neuer interfere NTH the President
on money matters. Apparently he
forgot the section OF the Constitu-
ton which says that Congress has
the responsibility for firing the
Udlue of money, etc.
The whole discussion was further
proof that congressional debate is not
what it pretends to be. The speakers
first decide which side they are going
to be on and then seek pretexts TO
Justify themselves and their political
clients. They are not disintereSted
legislators, but attorneys for the
prosecution or defense.

VICTIM VOICES SYMPATHY.
Miss McElrOy Would Not Force

KANSAS CITY, May 25.-Two
years ago this coming Monday Walter
MCGEE and three other men kid
naped me and held me chained to a
basement wall until $4,000 ransom
was paid.
I was released after 29 hours. At
no time did I expect to be returned
alive.
1t appeared the best thing to hope
for was quick death.
My greatest fear was of being tor
tured so that I would be forced TO
ask those men for mercy for myself.
I preferred to laugh and joke with
them rather than TO cry. 1t seemed
the wiser course. I believed they
would kill me rather than turn me
loose as evidence. They knew they
were committing a capital offense
and that some day I might have to
testify against them.
Considering the tenseness Of the
situation, We got along very we'll
otherwise. 1 learned to know them
rather well, to conclude they we're

cowardly than vicious

was trying these men for what they

others were given prison sentences.
