WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-J. Ed gar Hoover announces that Federal Agents have arrested Arnett Booth, of Huntington, West Virginia, on charges of demanding $50,000 for the release of Dr. James Seder, 79, former minister, kidnapped from his home on November 1.
 The Director of the FBI said Se- der was physically exhausted when found yesterday near an abandoned coal mine, seven miles outside of Wayne, West Virginia. He is today recovering in a hospital. Hoover said Booth admitted he participated in the abduction and the writing of the $5o000 ransom letter on Mo- vember 6.
 Confession duplicates
 Boothe's confession, Hoover said, implicated Orville Atkins and John Travis, both at large.
 Hoover said Seder was kidnapped by three men when he agreed to accompany them and assist in cash ing a check He was found only after a resident near farm where he was held captive for Il days, heard cries for help
 Seder was covered with scratches and bruises after being forced to climb steep 30-f0ot ravine to a farm house where he was held pris- oner.
 Hoover said Booth, who was a tenant of Seders, took the minister to farm hideout instead of going to cash a check.

Confusion;
 Just What Does 1t Mean?
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. With special term of Congress in the offing, all is confusion.
 Congress plans to balance the budget, yet the deficit is mountaing every day.
 The Administration wants to avoid new taxes on the eve of next years election campaigns, yet treasury experts debate a scheme to increase income taxes for people who make between $5,0O0 and $50,000 year.
 Retail business continues bright, but the stock market is jumping around like a skeleton on a tin roof.
 A long-awaited permanent re- lief program for the farmer is about to be sprung, but it would cost a couple hundred millions more than the present soil conser- vation program.
 Another law to protect labor against exploitation is ready for a vote in Congress, but some labor leaders doubt that it will give work CTS free hand to bargain collec- lively.
 What does it all mean?
 January Headlines
 Primarily, it means that events have conspired to put Congress on an uncomfortable spot-more un- comfortable, perhaps, than any it has known since it had to face the prohibition issue IT years ago.
 And all these puzzling events have occurred in a scant nine months.
 Last January the lawmakers met in the rosy after-glow of Roose- welt landslide. Gone was the depres- sion, and the first frenzy of the New Deal to stop the disaster and care for the destitute. Government had settled down to more or less steady undertone, the orderly con- fusion of any big business.
 The three big headlines of the month tell the serene story:
 ]. Depression Fades; Boom In Sight.
 2. President Predicts Bigger Budget.
 3. Democrats Organize Huge Ma jority.
 Then what?
 On February 5, the President pro- posed to extend the New Deal by enlarging the supreme court; in- come taxes failed to reach the op- timistic estimates of the treasury, and the budget went out of kilter in April; Senate Leader Joe T. Ro- binson died in July, and the Presi- dents own Democrats sabotaged his court plan; and to top it all off, the stock market nose-dived in Oc- tober
 Now look what's happened to the three big headlines of January: fCnptintIed on pAOe Fival

LOOK TO U. S.

DIV tOOOEIO, lNON. lA---fAIl dulllOl itative Japanese source declares that the United States, acting for itself, is still the ticket entry" to dis cuss Far Eastern peace.
 Japan, despite Tokyo's refusal to attend the Brussels conference on mediation, still looks to the United States to start real peace propos- als.
 Commercial Interests
 The Japanese source said that United States Ambassador Grew, in Tokyo, can always approach the Japanese Foreign Office and dis cuss the Chinese-Japanese conflict from the standpoint of heavy Amer ican interests involved.
 This statement bore out, in gen. eral way, the attitude of Japan and it was disclosed before the confer ence opened several days ago.
 Japan still insists that the Brus- selS conference might develop ways and means for peace but that the United States. through Ambassa- dors Grew to Japan, and Nelson, to China, because of American inter ests in both Japan and China, should make the first move from a commercial standpoint.
 Neither Great Britain nor other nations are entertained as peace ambassadors.

TAX BASE MAY BE BROADENED,
 IS REPORT NOW
Persons with Small In- comes, Probably to Be
 Kicked More
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Peo- pie who talk glibly about broaden ing the tax base" could well be re- minded that more than a year ago the tax base was broadened with one quick gesture to nick a billion dollars from the incomes of per- sons once described flippantly as of mo particular importance
 It was accomplished through the Social Security tax The income from that going into the old age and unemployment funds is esti- mated by treasury sources to be about a billion year at its pres ent level If the law is not amend ed the one per cent levy now in eff feet climbs on up ultimately to three per cent.
 At present the employer and the employe each pay a sum to the government equal to one per cent of the employees salary. So in ef- feet an item equal to two per cent of each employees salary pours in- to the treasury month by month.
 The top limit of the tax at present is $3U a year, or $60 a year when the employers share is included. The reason for that is that even if you make over $3,000 a year, you can not accumulate benefits based on more than $3,000 pay.
 Yet even so, this $50 year tax is decided more than the average wage earner has been paying to the government through the income tax. Of course if your income is $1,200 a year the Social Security tax is not $20, but is SIP And if the in come is $2,000 a year the tax is $2O.
