 Extortion Threats

WASHINGTON, May 27.-J. Ed gar Hoover, Chief of the Federal experts now centering attention on the Kidnapping Of min e-year-old George Weyerhaeuser at Tacoma Washington, said the wave of kid nap threats and extortion letters by juveniles has become serious federal problem
 Hoover said in 32 cases during the last three years in which the agents of the Department Of Justice have closed in on some of the sus- poets lured by decoy ransom pack ages. they found youngsters under 21 years of age. Our men have ar rested 37 boys and girls not old enough to vote as they traced ex- tortion notes that threatened death and demands from ten to a quarter of a million dollars"
 Hoover said in some instances the notes were traced to sons and daughters or other members of the household to which the notes were addressed.
 ''In these cases I feel 1t is very desirable that the courts impose
 entences and not free them mere y with a lecture" Hoover said.

UNION TO ASK FOR FEDERAL
 ARBITRATION
Telegrams Will Be Sent To night Requesting Gov
 ernment Mediation

Two telegrams will pe sent to- night to Washington, D. c. Both messages will be sent by the union according to Union Secretary Heard One will be addressed to Anthony ] Dimond, Alaska Delegate to Con- gress, and the other will go to Frances Perkins, Secretary of La bor.
 They will urge the appointment of Federal Arbitration Board tc settle the walkout, which affects more than 900 employees here. The message, further, will say that the union will be willing to abide by the decision of the Board and will be willing, if the Federal author ities feel 1t necessary, to submit tc general vote among mine em- ployees to determine the policy and .eadership of their group.
 Poet Acceptable
 The announcement that the tele- grams would be sent followed a meeting of the Trustees of the union yesterday.
 We are hopeful that the Wash ington officials will see fit to ap- point an arbitration board or a mediator" Heard said. Tt would be satisfactory with us if c. l. Post, who now is attempting to settle the fishing industry tie-up in Cordova, was ordered here as mediator.
 Of course, an arbitration board would have to meet with the ap- proyal of mine officials before we would agree to abide by its de- cision. We are sure that our pro- posals are fair and are positive that the majority of men are be- hind us. Therefore, we welcome Federal arbitration"
 City Remains Quiet
 The unions request for Federal arbitration and possible test vote is believed by many to be the unions answer to the circulation of petitions by a group which is dissatisfied with the present union leadership. The petitions propose a mass meeting soon of all mine en- ployees for the purpose of re- ormation of the present union or establishment of new group.
 Heard said that the Trustees expressed hope last night that the neutral element in town would itand back of the union in it's at- tempt to have Federal arbitration Heard said he considered mer- chants and city officials as "neu- tral."
 Meanwhile, the city continued quiet over the week end. Meetings of the union membership were held both Saturday and last nights. Another session is called for T o'clock tonight. The decision to send the telegrams was reached at special Trustees meeting yester- day. Saturday nights general meet ing was featured by decision not to interfere with the circulation of the anti-union petitions.
