C-Men Are Silent on Efficacy
Of Paying Kidnap Ransoms
HOOper's Men Believe Hands.Off Policy
Is Best-POint to Emotional Angle
in abduction Cases.

Justice Department official said.
Fear Of reprisal may have sealed
the lips Of some victims for all time"
Chairman Ashurst of the Senate
Judiciary Committee has introduced
a bill which would impose $4,000
fine or two years imprisonment on
persons paying kidnap ransoms.
Many Returned Safe.
Justice Department files disclosed
that many ransom payments have led
to safe return of the victims.
George Weyerhaeuser. 9-year-old
neighbor of Charles Mattson. was re-
turned unharmed on payment of
100000, Of which Federal agents
subsequently recovered $l57,000
Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll Of Louisville,
KY. was released safely when her
husband, Berry v. Stoll. paid her
abductor $4,000 in October. 1894.
Relatives Of Charles Boettcher Of
Denver, Colo, won his freedom for
100000 in February, 1882.
William A. Hamm. jr.. wealthy St.
Paul, Mimi, banker. paid his kid
napers 100000.
John Jake the Barber Factor told
Chicago police he paid $4,000 for his
own freedom.
August Luer of Alton, H., paid
$4,000 in July, 1898.
The slayers Of Brooke Hart asked
$4,000. They died before collecting 1t.
Karpis Gang Got s2eo,o0
The Karpis- Barker gang. Hamm's
kidnapers, levied 100000 against
relatives Of Edward G. Bremen Of st.
Paul in January, 1884, and got it.
Charles F. Urschel, Oklahoma City
oil man, won his release with 5000, 900
but Federal agents later recovered ap-
proximately $50, 900 when they trapped
the Bailey gang and George machine
Gum Kelly.
One Justice Department official has
advanced another argument against
outlawing ransom payments.
"It Is inconceivable that any jury
in the world would convict any one
of paying money to effect the safe
return of a loved one," he said.
Imagine the public's reaction if Col.
Lindbergh had been jailed or fined
for paying that S50,000 to those whom
he believed held his baby son."

Modern Music Is Interesting,
But Indefinite, Says Rose,,tl,al

Moriz Rosenthal, famous 74-year-
old pianist, of Vienna, and the last
outstanding pupil of Franz Liszt.
placed his huge black umbrella in q
corner of his suite at the Raleigh
Hotel yesterday. Removing his small
round hat and an overcoat with vel
vet lapels, he settled his short, stocky
figure into a comfortable chair and
discussed Liszt, modern music and
his own habits-which apparently are
devoid of temperament.
Modern music" he said, ''is in
terestlng but not definite.
"By that" he continued with q
strong accent Che is a native of Po-
land), IT mean in the past we thought
Of the development Of music along
with names Beethoven, Chopin,
Wagner. Brahms.
Now, We hear we moderns, which
may mean thousand, three thou
sand. six thousand individuals.
The old method was for the stu
dent to interest himself in compost
ton and to study the composer. Now,
they study technique and piano play
ing rather than composition"
Modern music, he believes, may de-
velop into something important but,
he added. the proof of the musician
is that he is interested in music it.
self.
Rosenthal recalled Liszt as capable
of the height Of sentiment, ariSto-
cratic, of lyrical and heroic feelings"
He first met the master when he
was only i3 and related proudly that
Liszt predicted then: Il see in this
boy a pianist who will soon be dis
covered" Later. he studied with
List for five seasons and enjoyed his
close friendship.
It was Liszt's custom, he said, to
teach his pupils In groups, when each
student was required to bring musical
compositions with him. From these,
Liszt would choose what appealed to
him and have the student play that
selection. During the one season he
had daily private lessons with Liszt,
the teacher spent much of the time
personally playing for his student, he
recalled.
OF himself, Rosenthal declared that
he has developed his own system for
mastering technical music.

The men who track down the Ma
tons kidnapers will say neither "yea"
nor may" about the efficacy of ram
som payments.
The MattSon kidnapping has raised
the question anew. About such pay
ments, however, J. Edgar Hoover,
head of the Federal Bureau Of In
vestigation, said only:
The bureaus first concern in all
kidnapping cases is the safe return OF
the kidnapped victim"
He added that the Justice Depart
ment would be inconsistent if it con-
doned ransom payments, it being il
legal to give aid to fugitive from
justice.
Nevertheless. under Hoover's direc-
ton Federal agents working on kid
nap cases have adopted hands-off
policy toward ransom negotiations.
They will neither aid nor interfere
in a ransom payment.
The murder of 1o-year-old Charles
Mattson near Everett, Wash, despite
repeated efforts by his father to pay
a $4,000 ransom, Is the first kid
mapping since Congress made abduc-
ton Federal offense in 1882 in which
q victim has been killed after Fed
eral agents entered the case.
Lindbergh Paid $4,000.
Charles A. Lindbergh. jr, was stolen
from the second floor of his home at
Hopewell, NJ j., March l. 1882, and
was found dead 10 weeks later. Only
part of the S50,000 Col. Lindbergh
paid for his sons return has been re-
covered. At that time kidnapping was
not a Federal offense, however, and
the Lindbergh case is not considered
a Justice Department case.
Brooke Hart, 22-year-old college
graduate Of San Jose, Calf. also
died at the hands Of kidnapers, but
his bound, bullet-riddled body was
tossed into San Mateo Bay long be-
fore Federal agents were asked to
enter the case. For his murder
Harold T. Thurmond, %, and John
M. Holmes, 29, were lynched by a
mob.

av the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 23.-James
A. Farley described today the sort OF
a lob he would like to have, If and
when he should leave the Roosevelt
cabinet.
The Postmaster General, in New
York for his usual week end OF work
at the headquarters OF the Democratic
National Committee, showed aside
nile of letters, dismissed two stenog-
raphers, moved over to window seat
looking down on the Grand Central
Station ramp, and said:
IT would want something more than
q selling job think I would be
GOOD salesman In fact I know
would But I would like an opportun-
ity to build up an equity in business,
so I would have something more than
Just salary for security for my FAM
) lily"
Will Leave Cabinet Some Time.
When Farley would leave the ad-
ministration-in one month, or three
months, or six months-waS all a
matter Of speculation. Farley has
never said when. That he would re-
turn to private business has been
known for some time.
The General" admitted he had re-
ceived some offers, which he declined
to discuss 1t was known, however,
that he could not have accepted these
offers and kept the chairmanships of
the Democratic National and New
York State Committees: and he has
never contemplated giving up the
chairmanships.
Privately, on several occasions Far
ley has said the only reason which
would prompt him to leave the Presi-
dents cabinet was the necessity OF
increasing his income.
Offered 100000 Position.
From friends, it was learned Far
lev was offered the position as head
OF the Distilled Spirits Institute, with
a salary in excess of 100000 a year.
end he turned it down. 1nasmuch as
the institute would be interested in
Federal and State legislation, Farley
believed the position was incompati-
BILE with his party posts.
This position subsequently was Of
fered to w. Forbes Morgan, treas
urer Of the Democratic National Com
mittee, and it was understood Nor
gan would accept soon. 1t was be-
lieved Morgan would soon resign his
committee post.
There was another factor, accord
ing to the Postmaster Generals close
associates, in his decision not to ac-
cept the liquor institute position-a
factor of political strategy pertaining
to the 1888 governorship campaign
in New York.
To have accepted. these associates
said, would have closed the door on
Farley for the nomination. Would
he seek the nomination? That was
another matter on which the national
chairman has maintained silence.

From the very beginning of

for the Nazis said it was incOn-

that old people might die under
