TACOMA, Wash. May 8. (UP)
Capture of William Mahan, last of
the "cgoists" who kidnapped little
George Weycrhaeuser and held
him for 100000 ransom, almost
exactly year ago, was good news
in Tacoma where the crime &C.
Cured.
Arrest of the kidnap gang lead
er left the millionaire Weyer-
haeuscr timber family apparently
little interested. Mr.. and Mrs. j.
=. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., parents of
the child victim, refused to dis
cuss the case.
The kidnapping branded Mahan,
whose true name is Dainard,
small town bank robber, as des-
pcratc man. He escaped from po-
lice at Butte, Mont, last June,
abandoning his car containing
$4,000 ransom money. Mahan.
had been reported seen in almost
every part. of the nation. and in
Canada and Mexico. =
Mahan's two associates in the
kidnapping. Harmon Wiley and his
wife, Margaret, have served al
most year of long prison terms,
Valley, 26, was sentenced to as
years in Alcatraz federal peniten-
tiary. Margaret, Fl, is serving 20
years at the federal detention
farm at Milan. Mich. -.
Mahan and Valley seized George
Weyerhaeuser near Anne Wright
Seminary, Tacoma; just ), after
noon, Nav "a. 1885, according to
testimony in the trial Of Mrs Wa
ley. 90
They rushed him away in the
back of an old sedan to a pit in
the ground near Issaquah. Wash.
That night the boys father re-
ceived by a special delivery mes

signed graphically 'Egoist Egoist,
demanding 100000 in Federal
Reserve Bank notes of S5, $40
and $40 denominations. The same
night the boy was moved to an
other hole near Kanasket, Wash.
On Sunday night, May 26, Ma
han and the Valleys drove east
ward with George, crossed the
Idaho line near Spirit Lake, and
finally returned to rented house
at Spokane, Wash. They carried
the small victim in the rear trunk
of sedan, later seized at Butte.
Mahan returned to Seattle with
Margaret Valley, leaving Harmon
to guard the boy. He mailed a
second letter to Weyerhaeuser,
including a scrawled note from
George to establish its authentic
ity. After one attempted contact
failed, the timberman abandoned
a car, containing a leather bag
filled with greenbacks. on a coun-
try road midway between Seattle
and Tacoma.
The pair returned to Spokane,
and headed back for Seattle i'm
mediately. Early on the morning

WASHINGTON. May .. (Uf)'
Italian occupation of Adds Aba
ba, ending the four-day night
mare of bloody rioting through
which little band of fighting
Americans defended the U. S. le-
CATION there, has developed new
problems for the state depart
.ment.
Determination Of Americas at
titudc toward the Fascist con-
quest of the ancient Ethiopian
kingdom appeared a difficult and
complicated task in view of our
foreign policy against interfer-
ence by one state in the internal
affairs of another, or recognition
of territorial gains in violation of
treaties.
This delicate diplomatic situa-
ton came to the forefront as
suffering radio messages from
the Adds Ababa legations cmer-
gency transmitter told Of the
Italian urmy's restoration of or
DER in the pillaged city.
These messages eased immedi-
ate tension at the state depart
ment and caused officials to feel
for the first time in several days
that their representatives in the
riot-torn city were at least conf
paratively safe. =
The future status of u. S. Min
lister Engert and his staff in view
OF their being accredited to the
now non-existent government OF
Halle SelaSsie VISA one phase OF
the knotty problems in American
foreign policy presented by the
Italian conquest.
II was indicated that great
care and study will be exercised
before any official announcement
will be Forthcoming on the situa-
ton.
In cautious discussions of the
problems and international COM
plications likely to arise, officials

parent alternative of setting up
a puppet government there under
Italian tutelage similar to the
puppct state Of Manchukuo cstab-
lished in North China by the Jap
aneSe army. -.-
Either course would raise deli
cate questions to which the Unit
ed States would have to give con
siderable study before taking a
definite official position. ,
The United States repeatedly
has enunciated as a principle of
its foreign policy that no state has
a right to interfere in the inter
nal or external affairs of anoth-
er state. This government like
wise has declared it a principle of
it's foreign policy that territories
or special rights gained by force
of arms in violation of existing
treaties should not be recognized
by this government.
Both principles were written
into the Saavedra Lamas anti
war pact negotiated at the sew
cnth Pan-American conference at
Montevideo in 1888. This treaty
was signed by the United States
and nearly all of the Latin Amer
lean nations. Long before this,
however, the United States had
taken it's stand on the principle
of non-recognition of territory
gained by force. The principle was
laid down by former" Secretary of
State Henry L. 'Stimson in Janu-
airy, 1882, in connection. with
the SinoEJapanese conflict and
the subsequent establishment of
