 of New Deal campaign against the Connecticut senator would be well comed by the party here, it is un- derstood, although none of the lead- CTS can commit themselves to such expression of their opinions.
 Generally, it is felt that possibility of any out-and-out New Dealer finding enough strength to oust Lon ergan is remote. But entry of any of the national New Deal staff into the Connecticut primaries indubi- tably would react to the betterment of Lonergan's position, it is agreed. The Democratic state committed, Governor Cross, Mayor Spellacy, Sen- ator Maloney and the chairman, J. Francis Smith, are unlikely to have much to say regarding candidates this early in the season. Neverthe- less, it is known that conferences are pending which will not be "un- friendly" to the Connecticut sena- tors plans for renomination.
 It is apparent that the party leaders feel the need of Lonergan on the ticket as compared with, say, Dr. Edward G. Dolan, of Manches- ter, outright New Dealer, or McNeil, possibly the strongest New Dealers mentioned so far in the preseason lineups. Dr. Dolan's position was

 Mrs. Cash Suspicious
 Mrs. w. P. Cash's suspicious were aroused next. She recalled that Mo- Call had been idling near her house one day after the Kidnapping, along with other members of the search ing party, when she had exclaimed that she was glad the windows of her apartment were strong"

 She remembered that Mccall had replied: Why, Mrs. Cash, I could get into your house in three min utes."
 w. P. Cash and his wife told Sheriff Coleman of their suspicious Last Tuesday, when Mccall returned from searching trip, the sheriff took him in custody. He brought him to Miami and questioned him. What information he obtained he did not say. He turned the prisoner over to G-men on Wednesday.
 Case Ready Some Time
 It was apparent that Hoover and his men had been ready to break the case for some time. When they summoned neWspapermen and an nounced the arrest, recovery of the body and the ransom money at :3C a. m. today, they had a life's story of Mccall typewriter and four pic lures of him available for each reporter.
 It was believed that they may have been withholding the infor- nation, possibly for days, while they pursued the investigation to learr If others were involved.
 Throughout the morning, G-mer worked at their same swift, secretivt pace. At a. m., a new prisoner was brought into FBI headquarter. here, shackled and accompanied by five of the federal agents. The body of Jimmy. seventh chile victim of kidnapesr since 1892 wher Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.. was ab. ducted and slain, was found above ground, Hoover said. It had beer tossed into palmetto clump ant from it's condition, the boy appar. ently died soon after he disappeared It lay half mile from the Cocoa. nut Palm road, one of the only highways traversing this wilderness called the Everglades.

Miami, Fla, June eUP)-FOl- lowing is the statement made early today by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of investig- ation, in announcing partial solu- tion of the Kidnapping of five-year- old Jimmy Cash:
 we have been able to recover the body of the little Cash boy.
 "The body is to be removed to Miami for appropriate examina- tion and autopsy. (The body was taken to Homestead, Fla, for a ccrcner's hearing this morning. Ed.)
 Tt was found West of Prince ton and South of CocOanut Palm Road, about one-half mile from Princeton ol: the CocOanut Palm Road and then through an almost impenetrable underbrush, back of a thicket of palmettoes, at 12:03 a. m. (EST) Thursday.
 "The child, five-and-a-half years old, was kidnapped at 10 p. m. May 2S, and the first ransom note was found shortly after 10 p. m. at the home of an uncle, Asbury Cash.
 "This note given the location of second note which was found at the cabin of a negro, John Eman- uel, who has nothing to do with the Kidnapping and is in no way connected with it.
 "This note made demand for $1O,0O0, to paid at midnight May 30, and in that note the route was set to be followed by Cash down Tallahassee Road to Moody Road to Allapattah Road to MOwry Road to Dixie Highway and back to Princeton-a route that would take 40 minutes to drive going 20

(Continued from Page D bill when the conference report reached the floor.
 Fix Minimum Wage
 General sentiment is that upon the grounds of constitutionality and upon the grounds of the fairness to all parties concerned, the only appropriate way of approaching this matter of fixing wages for the en- tire country, as diversified as it is, is to fix minimum wage at the figure we agreed upon-25 cents," Pepper said.
 An industries board consisting of representatives of the public, en- ployers, employees, representing all sections of the country, would have the power to fix wages between 25 cents and 40 cents according to what is fair and reasonable, taking into consideration the competitive fac tors, conditions in the industry, and fair living wage for the employees.
 ITO adopt any other course is to do as much harm as good and to influence detriment upon small units in an industry that are not able to meet at the same time as large units the minimum wage that might be fixed by law.
 We think that this is the only bill that is constitutional" Pepper continued. We think that the courts will not sustain fixing wages for all sizes of units within an in- austry as high as 40 cents per hour.
 Recognize Difference
 Pepper pointed out that under his plan, which will be offered to house and senate conferees today, the board for particular industry could recognize the difference in the sizes of various units of the indus try and also could recognize regional differentials.
 We think we are being friend of the bill to insist that it be placed upon 8 constitutional basis Pep per said.

not helped by two recent happen, ings; the first, his criticism of Con necticut Congressman who had votet against New Deal legislation; sec ond, the faint showing made by tn. New Deals sponsorship of the losing candidate in the Iowa election. Within few days developments are expected which may point the official sentiment of the state com- mittee on candidates of some now mentioned prominently for places on the fall ticket. Likely, Lonergan will not be mentioned. The leaders are believed to feel that their sup- port will not be needed and, because of the delicate situation here as re- spects New Deal support and "con- trary-minded," 1t probably will re- suit in letting Lonergan make his own commitments, unless he falls into tough going.

 When Constable Scoville found MT Rowland, state police and VOL unteers were searching the wooded area. Bloodhounds were employed, but the rains of Tuesday night made it difficult for them to follow the scent.
 MT. Rowland became lost after leaving his niece's home Monday to walk to the site of the new state home for mental defectives, which is under construction. He became confused in the woods. He spent Monday night in a rough bed of boughs and leaves. Tuesday he again attempted to find his way out of the woods, but became exhaust ed and remained in almost the same spot from Tuesday morning until he was found at 6 o'clock last night.
 In Waterbury MT. Rowland has been familiar figure for many years. His beard and invariable black apparel made him pic turesque figure. He is considered an authority on Waterbury history. He has done title-searching in many important real estate trans actions.

His attorney said it would be impossible to obtain a fair and impartial trial in Fairfield County where the investigation was widely publicized in the newspapers.
 States Attorney Lorin w. Willis opposed another motion to have Kemp, tried separately.
 He told the court "it is no secret" that Thomas N. Cooke, Greenwich, and Samuel H. Silberman, Stamford, twill protest most vigorously against their being brought to trial with Kemp"
 He added "all the indications are that there will be no necessity for any long drawn out trial in their cases"

 "A third note was found at Will son Cash's Filling Station at Mid night May 30, directing Cash to go over the same route at 4 a. m., May 31.
 Contact was made by Cash as he drove South on Tallahassee Road at 4:10 a. m., and the mol;ey contained in shoe box was placed at the corner of Sunset Drive and Tallahassee Road by a telegraph pole. The signal to pay was given by 8 flashlight in fruit grove. We have in custody Franklin Pierce Mccall.
 Mccall has made a full and complete statement admitting the writing of the ransom notes and obtaining of the money and we recovered all of the ransom money at 4 a. m., Wednesday, in a corner of an orchard owned by Charles Chambers on the South side of Sunset Drive between the Dixie Highway and Tallahasse Road.

12 G-Men, an autopsy surgeon, and state prosecutor, sped from Miami, FEBI office, dressed in khaki clothes and carrying spades and shovelS. It was understood that Mccall accom- panied them.
 Body Mile From Home
 A mile from the Cash boys home, half mile off road in lush, tangled Mangrove country, they they found the body. It was little more than a skeleton, identifiable only by the white and rose-colored pajamas that clung to it. The man. ner of death could not be establish ed, even after an autopsy. Dr. Thomas O. Otto, Miami surgeon who performed it, said there were no fractures or bruises. G-Men believed the boy had been smothered or choked.
 The body was taken to the funeral home of George w. Turner at Home stead, six miles south of Princeton. It had first been taken to the par ents home, but when informed of it's condition they refused to see it.
 G-men found the ransom money in an orchard belonging to Charles Chambers, mile from where the body lay. The shoe box in which Cash delivered the $1O00O in night tryst with the kidnapers on May 30, was found torn to bits and buried under a stone in front of the home of Joseph Hillard, McCall's father in-laW, Hoover announced.
 The place where the body was found was only a mile from the Princeton field headquarters of the 35 FBI men assigned to the case.
 All scenes involved in the crime, except the FBI headquarters at Miami, were enclosed within a tWo- mile area of the home of J. B. Cash whose child was the victim. He was snatched fro minis crib while his parents were away from home for an hour.
 At Filling Station
 Concerning Mccall, the evidence was:
 On the night of May 30, he ap- peared at the combined home and filling station of w. P. Cash, brother of the boys father. The Cash brothers live next door and both have filling stations.
 Mccall rapped on the door and asked w. P. Cash to open his of- flee to sell him three gallons of gasoline. Cash opened the door for him. As he stepped into the door way, Mccall stopped, seemed to pick up piece of paper. He handed it to Cash, saying: "Lood here, what's this?"
 It was the ransom note instruct ing the boys father the second time to bring $10,000 to a designated place

ready to announce further develop ments in the case, Hoover indicated he might meet with neWSpapermen again before noon. He gave no in- dication, however, of the nature of the developments which he may announce.
 Motion Is Filed
 Morley filed motion in the court of Circuit Judge Arthur A. Gomez here asking that a special grand jury be impanelled. Judge Gomez granted the motion at once. It is returnable Monday at 10 a. m. A panel of names was drawn. The jury will consist of IS men.
 Confessed To Writing
 Hoover, who led the party of G. Men into the desolate Mangrove SWamps at midnight to recover the body of the baby and the money, said that Mccall had confessed to writing the three ransom notes and collecting the ransom from the tow haired boys father, but had denied any part in the actual Kidnapping or murder
 Hoover said that others might be involved in the case.
 It was understood that four men wese being questioned this morning at FBI headquarters, on the 18th floor of the Biscayne building in the center of Miami, where Mccall was held prisoner.
 If Mccall actually had any part in the crime, it was apparently his first criminal act, and his bold and blundering tactics had trapped him. He had no police record. It was Mc- Call who found" the last of the three ransom notes. He had been among the first to join the vast army of volunteers who plodded through the countryside hunting the kidnapers and the body for week without success.
 He had even gone to members of the Cash family and talked to them about kidnapings, commenting on how easy it was for tine abductors to have broken into the house.
 Family Suspicious
 Members of the Cash family were the first to become suspicious of Mc- Call. They told the Sheriff, D. c. Coleman, of their suspicious and he intercepted Mccall last week when the latter returned home from an- other days search"
 After the sheriff had questioned the suspect, he turned him over to G-Men, who questioned him persist ently for several days before devel- oping the "break" in the case. Sher- if Coleman told the United Press Tt is my opinion that this was a one-man job."
 The "break" came shortly after Il o'clock (12 EDT) last night Hoover,
