GERMAN TRADE
DRIVE MAY Be.
TOPIC At Lima
u. S. Likely to Offer Lib
eral Credits to Pro-
mote Commerce
PEACE HELD CHIEF
CONFERENCE GOAL
BY HOBART c. MONTEE
United Press Staff Correspondent

BALBOA, C. T., Dec. l. (UP)
Nazi economic penetration in Lat
in America might be discussed at
the eighth Pan-Amercan confer
ence, it was indicated yesterday,
and the United States is expected
to offer its neighbors liberal cred
its to offset Germany's trade
drive.
Racial and religious persecu-
tions in the Reich also might be
considered informally at the par
ley, which opens December 9 in
Lima, Peru, it was disclosed with
arrival of the United States dele
CATION headed by Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, aboard the
Grace liner Santa Clara.
The economic committee will
deal with reports on German COM
merce with Latin American coun-
tries, but United States members
said they had made no study Of
the problem so far and that any
attempt to make plans would be
premature. ---.
It was learned, however, that
an effort pfobaBfy WILL be made
to extend liberal credits to Latin
America through the Export-lm-
port bank of Washington. The
bank was established to aid in fl
nancing and to facilitate exports
and imports and the exchange of
commodities between the United
States and foreign countries.
Secretary Hull was reported to
be approaching with extreme eau
ton the refugee problem and it's
related question of finding homes
in South America for those flee
ing or forced to leave Germany.
He has steadfastly refused during
the voyage to discuss his plans at
Lima and has emphasized that the
refugee problems were being han
died by the intergovernmental
committee in London, of which
the United States is member.
Latin American delegates aboard
the Santa Clara, including those
from Mexico, Colombia, Venezue-
la and Panama, believe, however,
there is little likelihood their
countries or the other republics
will receive unlimiated numbers
of refugees, although they admit
ted the possibility Of written
agreements for acceptance of
small quotas.
In statement issued when the
boat docked at Cristobal, the sec
retary of state said the United
States and the Latin American
were determined to fol-
low the "course leading to peace"

ALLEN STORE
WILL OCCUPY
BODYBUILDING
Believe Belk Stores May
Take Over Site Vacated
by Local Firm

The. I. w. Allen department
store, now located in the Hunter
building, will move to- new To-
cation in the Howe building. at
the corner of Fifth avenue and
Main street, by the first of the
year, and it is probable that the
Hunter building site will be occu-
pied by the Belk stores.
/. w. Allen, proprietor of the
Allen store, said today that he
would be in his new location by
the first of the year. His new
store will occupy the room in the
Howe building fronting on Main
street and Fifth avenue and the
room on Fifth avenue formerly
occupied by the Electric Service
company.
The two rooms will be made
into one store, Mr.. Allen said. The
floor in the Fifth avenue room
will be lowered to the same level
as that fronting on Main street,
and the entrance between the two
rooms on Fifth avenue will be
closed.
Mr.. Allen stated that the show
window in the site of the former
electrical concern would probably
be walled up, and that there would
be entrances from Main street and
Fifth avenue when the two rooms
were combined into one.
The Hunter building room, now
occupied by Mr.. Allen, has been
under lease to the Belk interests
for year or more. No definite
announcement has been made by
officials of this concern, but it was
reliably learned today that ar
rangements had been made by the
Belk company to make alterations
to this site.
The Electric Service company,
formerly occupying the Fifth ave-
nue. room of the Howe building,
has moved to ZIG Fourth avenue

William E. Brown, father of kid
naped Mary Brown, today sought
the aid of G-men in the hunt for
his abducted 18-year-old daughter,
who was forced into a truck last
night on the outskirts of Wash
ington.
Brown appealed personally to
national FBI headquarters after
expressing belief that the girl was
attacked and murdered.
Brown is an employe of the
Federal Bureau of Printing and
Engraving.
Volunteer fremcn, CCC men
and neighbors formed a posse to
search the neighborhood where
the girl was abducted.
Officers were provided their
first tangible clue by Lucy, the
victims 15-year-old sister, who
escaped abduction by fleeing
across fields when the men ac-
costed the two girls.
Two men resembling the de.
scription Of the abductors were
held by Washington, D. c., police
last night, pending further iden-
tification by the missing girls sis
ter. They were said to be driy-
ing truck similar to the one in
which Mary was whisked away
and were seized in Washington.
Mary Brown was walking
home with her sister, Lucy, from
a bus stop when two men in a
light-bodied. delivery truck stop

ness school in Washington.
On the verge of collapse when
she reached her isolated home,

said that as she eluded the grasp
Of one Of the men and started
across the fields, she could hear
Mary shouting for help.

Immediately notified state author
tiles who instructed officers to
watch all Maryland roads for

A similar order was issued to
Washington police.
Neighbors, mostly farmers,
searched nearby woods on the
theory that the two men might
have driven off the main road and
hidden until the alarm had quiet
ed.
At darkness, the posse was cut
ting through thick tangles of
brush, lighting their way with
torches and flashlights.
The girls father and her BROTH
er, William, 16, accompanied the
searchers. Both were said to be
armed.
Police did not believe that the
case involved kidnapping for ran

have been taken to a secluded
spot and possibly attacked. They
planned to question Lucy further
for a more detailed description Of
the men.
Yesterday afternoon was the
first time the girls had walked
home from Oxon Hill. Generally
they are met by their mother:
