they declare will be a finish fight.
PicketS Unperturbed
The pickets seemed unperturbad
by the fact that the actors, meet

president of the Guild, had failed
to support them.
They we're encouraged, how
ever, by the militant attitude of
the extras and "bit" players at

Grim-faced and business bound,

this war has tended more and

The heaviest losses, amounting

by the attackers. They are moved
down by machine guns, and
against machine guns there have
been only three methods of fight.

First, by reckless, persistent in
fantry attack, wave after wave,
with no regard for losses-aiming
to lose nine out of 10 men so the
tenth man can get through to
kill the machine gunner; second,
by tanks, and third, by artillery.
Tanks Disappointment
Neither side has the man-power
to waste by the first method.
Tanks have proved a great disap-
pointment by reason of develop

3 Aides Plead Guilty
in Wendell Kidnap,
Torture Case

NEWARK, N. j., May 3 Q.N.SO.
For the first time in open court,
the name Of Governor Harold @.
Hoffman of New Jersey was linked
today with the Paul H. Wendell
kidnapping case as the Ellis Par
kers, father and son, went on trial
charged with abducting Wendell
and coercing him into a false con-
fesSion to the kidnapping of Baby

Governor Hoffman's name was
mentioned in only negative way
as the Government opened its
case against the New Jersey hawk
shaw and his son. Only short
time previously, three other de-
PENDANTS entered guilty pleas, leav-
ing the Parkers to stand trial
alone. Those who pleaded guilty
were Martin SchloSsman, Harry
Weiss and Murray Bleefeld, al
legged accompliceS of the Parkers,
To Explain Connection
Opening for the Government,
Prosecutor John j. Quinn told the
jurors he would explain Cover
nor Hoffman's connection" with
the case, adding that on the
jurors would lie the onus for de-
termining whether "a bill of goods
was sold to Hoffman by t he
ParkerS."
The prosecutor said he would
show that the elder Parker had
dominated the other defendants,
and even assured Bleefeld that
he, Parker, would replace ]. Ed
gar Hoover as head Of the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation.
He first outlined the Govern.
ment version of how Bleefeld was
taken to the Hotel Martinique and
thence to WendePS Manhattan
office and then called William

identify the younger Parker as
