ARREST OF TWO
IN DETROIT
HELD NEAR
New York Prosecutor
Ready to Take Case
Before Grand Jury

NEW YORK, April 20 U.N.SD.
An interstate political scandal Of
astonishing and far-reaching pro-
portions may result from the con-
fession Of Brooklyn man in the
kidnapping Of Paul H. Wendell, it
was predicted today.
With two Brooklyn detectives
in Detroit to pick up two other
men, District Attorney Geoghan,
of Brooklyn, indicated he was
ready to go before the grand jury
on the basis of statement made
last night by Martin SchloSs-
man, 80, admitting participation
in the Wendell abduction.
Schlossman was booked on a
charge of second degree kidnap-
ing after his alleged confession
brought back vivid recollectionS
of the dramatic. last minute eff
forts to save the life of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, executed
slayer of the Lindbergh baby.
Wendel's repudiated confession"
that he and not Hauptmann
committed the crime resulted in
a 72-hour reprieve for the Bronx
carpenter.
Samuel s. LeibowitZ, criminal
attorney, announced he had been
retained as counsel to defend
Schlossman.
Two Facing Arrest
In Detroit, the detectives hope
to arrest Murray Bleefield, 80. Of
Brooklyn, whose brother. David,
alias Jeff" is now an inmate OF
the Bordtentown IN. j. farm
prison. He was jailed as the car
Of the cleaning and dyeing racket
in Trenton. They also hope to
pick up Harry weiss. 30, Of Brook
lyn. District Attorney Geoghan
said Wendell had identified both
men from pictures as being among
his abductorS.
Schlossman's confession, sc
cording to the district attorney.
came after hours &C grilling, to
which his wife, Fay, and her
brother, Sydney Bleefield, also
were subjected. Sydney and Mrs.
Schlossman were released last
night, but were scheduled to hold
another conference with Geoghan
today.
Drove Kidnap Car
The gist of the Schlossman
confession, according to Geoghan,
was that Schlossman was the
man called Jack" who drove
the kidnap car which carried
Wendell from in front Of a Man
haitian hotel to his place Of tor
ture in the Sheepshead Bay Sec
ton of Brooklyn. In this move,
Geoghan added, he was aided by
another man.
Geoghan said he preferred
mot to answer" when asked if
Wendel's abduction had been
linked directly with any New Jer-
sey officials. He said, however.
there would soon "be corking
DEVELOPMENTS" When asked II
the crime had been tied up with
the delay in Hauptmann's exc
cution, he replied:
eft links up generally and
definitely with the whole
Lindbergh case. If the or
iginaI confession had been
true there would have been
no need for this investigation.
But the confession was forced
and false and not given vol
UNFAIRLY"
When asked if the investiga-
ton would involve Gov. Harold
Hoffman of New Jersey, Geoghan
said warily:
81 can't answer that. My
sole concern is in uncOvering
crimes in Kings county. /
have no intention of inviting
Governor Hoffman to appear
before the grand jury here.
I'm sure that if Governor
Hoffman knows anything about
the matter at all he would be
glad to come forward Of his
own vOlitiOn."

Editor, Toll Tower Topics I was very much inter- day night in which Dick Hyman, subbing for Walter Wnchel described the many obsolete and foolish laws that the states still allow to clutter their statute books One in particular caught my attention It was law passed by the state of Alabama doubtless many years ago. It is forbidden to tie an animal tor a shade tree growing in the street. That may sound sorta foolish today when there are no animals to be tied to trees in city or town streets and when there few streets in our towns today that boast trees to which an animal might be tied But years ago when towns were smaller and horses were common sights oftentimes tying horse or
 COW or even goat to tree would result in the tree being ruined The animal would eat the leaves 1t could reach 1t would also rip the bark off the tree There Is many small town today that probably could show you the signs of the hitchngpost era So you see the law wasn't so bad when 1t really needed Now of course, there is no real need for It, in community where such habits would be practiced Joe.,

Stirs Railway Opposition

Eastman was empowered to order railroads to consolidate facilttieS and otherwise cut out waste. Rather than be dlctatorial, he gave the inc dustry Q chance to effect these ends by itself.
 But he kept urging methods ot modernization, characterization, ana cheaper buying, and suggested soc iutionS for the problem of facilities made obsolete through buAes ana trucks.
 HIS idea was that the public shouldn't indefinitely carry the cost of outworn branch lines and ex- penslve. duplicate facilities. He was quite honest and blunt about it ana didn't mind criticizing huge salaries paid officials of insolvent roads.
 Railroad executives, under lead" ershIp of J. J. Pelley, decided they were "belng told how tO run their business" They didn't like to have their mistakes pointed out to stockholders.
 Behind them were New York bankers who, acting as railroad fiscal agents, fOresaw reduced profits. Railroad Iabor unions, their memberships hard hit by un- employment, made an agreement with operators to oppose continu' ance of the co-OrdlnatOr.
 And finally there were members of the I. 0. Q. itself, jealous of East. mans exalted prominence WHO joined iia the fight.
 Some time ago 1t became opvIs ous that it would be impossible m face of thB opposition to extenu Eastlnar,s term, even with his pow" ers shorn, At the end of the ses. sion Senator Burton Wheeler oa Montana tried to obtain vv.uay stay in which Eastman might nqul- date his ofilce.
 Policy and Chairman George liar. rison of the railway departinenE Vl the A. P. of L. blocked even that It appeared that Eastman had some reports on possible economies Co make which no one wanted the puD' lie to sec.
 S'prise for Van Sweringen
 The recent meeting between Sen. ator Wheeler, who is chairman Oa thte Senate committee Investigating railroad financing, and Oris F. van Sweringen, who made something oi a record as 6 wizard of raiiroad financing, was in the nature or . surprise party.
 The committee had been trying to dig into tho 'intricGcies of the 70. called ree-billion-dollar van sweringen railroad empire ana nsa met with what 1t considered oD- structive tactics when 1t askeo IoE 'i'1GeHoIUi'' TearinSs were called to put the heat on MT. Van Sweringen. He pleaded that he was Q very pusy man: he would send his lawyers on a Monday, but couldn't get to Wasn. ington himself until Tuesday, Tns committee agreed.
 The lawyers asked for . private session with Wheeler, which was granted. Wheeler was tough ana demanded that they sign on agree. ment to produce promptly Wnas the committee asked for. Tney said they would have to take time out to decide.
 Meanwhile, Wheeler held tne hearing room open, ,elI reedy 70 start.
 A couple of hours later the law" yers returned to report:
 "Mr. Van Swerlngen happens 70 be in town and would like to taik to you privately"
 It developed later that MT. van Sweringen had motored to Wasn- ington on Sunday.
 At first he emphatically refused to sign any agreement. WneeieE then announced that Van Swerin- gen would be called to the stand the next day, with yelled threat or contempt proceedings.
