FOOL-PROOF ROADS
MUST BE FOOL FREE,
SAYS IT. g. OFFTCTAIS

The nations greatest safety cam
paign cannot achieve ultimate sue
cess until license and patrol meas
ures have culled out the habitual-
ly dangerous drivers, and until at
least as much attention is paid to
the education OF motor vehicle OPP
orators as is now paid to educating
firemen of stationery steam boil
ers.
These, in summary, are conclus-
ions of Americas highway experts
at the 22nd national convention of
the American Association Of State
Highway Officials, according to
Minnesota highway officials who
returned last week from the as
sembly in San Francisco.
Mr.. Rosenwald asserted on his
return that the entire trend of the
convention this year was toward
greater and greater emphasis of
the drastic need for education Of
motor vehicle drivers. This, speak
ers and study committees agreed,
the nationwide campaign to cut
down the appalling death and in
jury toll of the highways.
Traffic control devices, safety
engineering, better road design.
and all of the other mechanical
and engineering accomplishments
have contributed much toward
making the highways safe, Mr..
Rosenwald pointed out. But, he
said, even with continued improve
ment in this field, no feat of high
way construction or traffic control
can make any road safe so long as
a dangerous driver Is permitted to
careen down that road in an auto
mobile.
Not reasonable speed, but speed
in improper places and under i'm
proper conditions are responsible
for accidents, the convention con-
cluded.
Sessions of the convention
brought out that there are now
100000 motor vehicles in the
United States, with 100000 driv-
ers Last year there were 827 900
accidents in which $1,000 persons
lost their lives. This, Mr.. Rosen-
valid, said, emphasizes the vital i'm
pcrtance Of widespread public at
tention to the safety problem, and
those phases OF its solution that
cannot be reached by all the skill
of best engineers.

final REVIEW
OF KIDNAPPING
Believes Amateurs
Killed Child, He
Declares

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 16
(UP) DR.. w. w. Mattson
said today he believed the
men who kidnapped and kill
ed his son, Charles, were
amateurs and destroyed the child
because their prisoner learned too
much about them.
DR.. Mattson issued a final re-
view of the kidnapping case which
he handed to newspapermen at
his office.
II have no enemies. am sure,
who would p2rpetrate such a crime.
Neither did this man tell my son,
Billy, that he had money in my
house which he wanted to get
back. instead he told Billy that "a
home such as this should be good
for some money" and when Billy
replied that We did not keep our
money in the house but in the
bank he Immediately grabbed
Charles and said he was just as
good as money
Il am confident this man and
whoever his colleague is, are crooks
who have never previously handled
job of this magnitude and when
they had advanced to the stage
where they were ready to receive
the ransom. they found Charles
knew too much and they dared not
release him SO they destroyed him.
"As further proof of bungling, ]
am certain no intelligent criminal
would have picked me out for a
ransom as there are several men
of wealth In Tacoma who would
have been far better prospects than
l. In spite of the high hat story
in the press, am a man of very
limited means at the present time

kidnap- Staying.
A mill foreman told police he
heard the scream while on duty.
First believing it to be boys prank,
he said he failed to report it, but
when the manhunt closed in the
nearby territory he said he believ-
ed the cry might have come from
the abducted Tacoma schoolboy.
Police believed the scream may
have been the death cry of the boy,
who, an autopsy showed, first was
stabbed by his kidnaper then kill
ed by repeated blows of a heavy
weapon which crushed his skull.
1t was dug in blue clay which
matched that found under the
fingernails of the dead boy. Two
gunny sacks were found in the
floor of the pits. Boughs OF trees
were stretched across the top of
the hole.
Officers believed the pit may
have been Charles prison during
the days he was held captive and
apparently tortured by the beard
ed, hook -nosed man who entered
the Mattson's home on Puget Sound
shorefront Sunday night. Dec. 27

room.
Bloodstaincd clothing which may
have been worn by Charles were
sent to a laboratory today for ex-
animation. The clothing was found
in an abandoned shack not far from
where hunter stumbled on
Charles body Monday.
Federal agents studied the stains
to determine if the blood was that
of the brutally slain boy. The cloth
ing was expected to yield traces of
the queer blue clay the child had
dug under his fingernails in his
death agonies.
State troopers and G-men re-
manned on guard around the shack,
where the boy may have been hid
den and killed by the kidnaper.
