TAXICAB DRIVER HELPED KIDNAP
Harry Weiss Was PrOm- iSed Police Job for Aid-
 ing in Wendell Torture

New York, April 29.-UP)-A taxicab drivers confession that the promise of job on the New Jersey state police force induced him to participate in the Kidnapping of Paul |. Wendell, a by-product of the Lind bergh Kidnapping case, connected the crime closely today to high circles of Jersey politics.
 The confession came from Harry Weiss, 27, whose wife betrayed him to police in Youngstown, O., yester- day "to save him from being mur- dered to shut his mouth" A Brook lyn grand jury indicted him and four otherr men on charges of kid naping and assault last week.
 District Attorney William F. x. Geoghan announced after question ing Weiss from 10:15 o'clock last night until 1:30 a.. m. that he had made full admission of part in Kidnapping Wendell and named Ellis H. Parker, Jr., of Mt. Holly, N. J., as the brains" and finger man" of the crime.
 Son of Detective
 Parker, already indicted but un- captured, Is the son of the chief of detectives of Burlington County, N. J., and is an employe of the New Jersey Motor Fuel Tax Bureau. The senior Parker was Gov. Harold G. Hoffman's chief lieutenant in fight to save Bruno Richard Hauptmann from execution as murderer of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. Young Parker was detached for a period from normal duties of his state job to assist his father in the case.
 Wendel's kidnapers obtained a confession from him--by torture, he said-that 1t was he, not Haupt- mann, who kidnapped and killed the Lindbergh baby. The kidnapers delivered him, after he had signed the confession, to Ellis Parker Sr., in Mt. Holly. A subsequent grand jury investigation of murder charges filed against him in Mercer County, N. J., delayed Hauptman's execution three days.

New York, April 29-CUP)-A break of more than points in American Telephone plunged the utility average into new low ground for the year today and unsettled the whole stock market.
 Unloading in A. T. and T. ap- peared to come from small holders frightened by recent investigations into the company's business.
 World markets generally were down. The Amsterdam bouRse was depressed and there was consider able selling in London. Foreign exchange was steady in dollar terms except the Swiss franc. The latter also broke in London.
 Most commodities were lower. Grains declined with wheat off 5-8 to 1-8 cents a bushel. Cotton fut- ures were down about 50 cents a bale. Foreign issues led a decline in the Bond market.
 Further talk was heard about France leaving gold. Many traders sold stocks on that fear. Some turned to gold shares as a hedge against another upset in world cur rencies. Traders bid Dome Mines up more than 3 points to new high for the year and Mcintyre Porcupine also gained more than 3 points.
 Steel shares were weak. Most steel units reporting for the first quarter had highly disappointing earnings. Steel stocks lost 1 to more than 4 points with many at new lows for the year.
 Among the stocks making new high 1886 lows today were Amer ican Rolling Mill, Bethlehem Steel, National Steel, Republic Steel pre- ferred, Briggs, Consolidated Edison, Du Pont, Pennsylvania Railroad and Standard Brands.
 Heaviest losers, aside from Amer ican Telephone, were Allied Chem ical off 4; Case off 4; Borg Warner of 2; Deere off 1-2; Du Pont of 4 l-2; Standard of New Jersey off 2: Western Union off 3 5-8 and

 BallyhO0, Propaganda
 Tt is evident that the support of group of this character, espe- cially in convention such as that at Cleveland is bound to be, has much more possibilities than a group of support built up by bally- hoo and propaganda, and developed by methods which certainly will un- dergo investigation by the senate committee already set up for the purpose of scrutinizing election practices"
 What Knox Says ..
 Knox was quoted recently as hay ing said the republican contest lay between himself and Landon. There appeared tosbe working agreement between Knox and Landon support CTS in Ohio where "favorite son" slate of delegates pledged to Robert A. Taft, son of the late president, was so drawn that the two bona fide candidates would inherit about equally when the break came. That was coalition against Sen. William E. Borah who has entered the Ohio presidential primary against all corners.
 More Behind Knox
 Moses statement directed attcn- ton to the fact that there was con- sidcrably more behind the Knox than a desire for the presidency. Other republican lead- CTS in a position to know the facts recently have been saying private ly that Knox would appear In Cleve- land with much more delegate strength than most observers ex- pected. Among persons making that prediction is former President Hoover.
