helps the criminal to escape. That's the cold logic of the bill.
 The trouble is that cold logic con flicts with warm parent hearts When the child is stolen, the par ents will pay anything to get the child back. That applies almost equally to kidnapped adults. MT Hoover's G-Men are fearful that if an anti-ransom law should be enacted, parents would not go to police with their troubles and face a possible heavy fine or, under the Gray bill, 25 years imprisonment Instead they would tell the police nothing but would open negotiations directly with the kidnapers. That in effect, would be kidnapers par adise. No police, no chase, and even after the ransom was paid the parents could not tell police for fear of fine or jail.
 And another thing. What jury would convict parents on charge of paying ransom to get their chill dren back? Pick jury in New Jersey for instance, to send Lind bergh to jail. That brings up an- other point. The trail of ransom money follows the fugitive. It led to Hauptmann.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Rep- resentatives Joseph Gray of Penn sylvania, who probably abhors kid naping as much as the resst of us, has introduced bill that leaves J. Edgar Hooyer's kidnap hunters in quandary.
 The Gray bill would prohibit payment of ransom to kidnapers, and impose fine of $5,0O0 to $2Oo,- GOO on anyone who did.
 What about it?' we asked the Department of Justice Fine, if it would work, was the comment, but would it work? Certainly if the kidnaper had no chance of get ting ransom, he would take nobody's children or relatives. Moreover, when ransom is paid, the money

SECT PRESSES
CHARGE ON
ICKES

As an aftermath Of q suit filed
against Secretary Of Interior IckeS
yesterday in the District Court
at Philadelphia by Representatives
Of the Mennonite sect of Lancaster
County, Pa, four members Of the
sect, accompanied by an attorney
went to the office Of Attorney
General Cummings today in an
attempt to press criminal charges
against the school board Of East
Lampeter Township, Pa.
The trouble started several
weeks ago when the five men, said
to represent "a per cent OF the
taxpayers Of their town, arrived
in Washington to protest the con-
tinuance Of q school project for
which $56,250 had been supplied
by the Public Works Administra-
ton.
After q conference with Ickes
they returned home. After a cou-
pie Of weeks, they decided they
were being defrauded Of $4,000 on
the deal. In addition to getting
an Injunction against continu-
ance Of the project and suing the
Secretary, charging he forced un-
wanted money upon them-they
came to the conclusion that climi-
nal action against their school
board is in order. Thus the march
upon Cummings office.
They never reached the Attor-
ney General office, but were
closeted with Brien Mcmahon, as
SiStant Attorney General, for about
an hour.
A statement issued from Nc
Mahon'S office said that there was
nothing unusual about the case,
and that it would be handled a. q
routine matter"
