N. H. Eagle, Akron district director

There might be some justification
OF such proposals if the Goodrich COM
pany were in severe financial straits
but examination of the company's past
financial statements indicates that the

Mr.. Graham estimated average
hourly rates now are sl.10 to s1.15 for
men and 10 to rs cents for women, and
asked that they be cut to 80 to 95
cents for men. go to IS cents for
women. The work week is 80 hours.
Otherwise" he said, production of
tires and mechanical goods in Good

with other Akron companies that have
already moved more than half their
production elsewhere.
In 1887 Goodrich paid to wage

POLICE DRAIN LAKE
FOR k|DNAP VICTIM
Mysterious Messages Send
Police on Hunt for Levine
Boys Body.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y, March s.
Uncertain whether hoax or terrible
truth confronted them. New York po-
lice turned to a Bronx lake today in
search Of the body Of 12-year-old Peter
Levine, missing since February "a and
believed to have been kidnapped.
Distracted by the possibility their
son was dead, Murray Levine. New
York attorney. and his wife waited at
home, praying the search would be
fruitless and Peter would be returned
for $4,000 ransom.
Search of the lake followed police
receipt Of three anonymous telephone
calls from widely separated parts Of
New York City even as Levine sought
anew to make contact with the sup
posed abductors.
Message Found in Snow.
Acting Capt. William j. Sullivan
said the message which sent the police
to Indian Lake in Crotona Park might
be hoax, but they would be investi-
gated nevertheless.
On the lake bank, drawn in the
snow, was a message:
Find Levine boy in middle of lake"
A crudely made arrow pointed
toward the lake, which is 800 feet long
and 800 feet wide.
Two emergency crews began grap-
pling. but after three hours the work
stopped. Workmen at dusk began
draining lake waters into a connecting
sewer.
Rabbi May Be Intermediary.
Meanwhile there was inactivity at
the Levine home, where ransom of
100000 was ready. Levine refused to
say whether Rabbi Abraham Nowak,
to whom the last ransom note was ad-
dressed, was serving as intermediary.
Both Federal and local officers ap-
parently have withdrawn from active
participation in the case at Levine's
request.
New York police took up their
search only after the mysterious caller,
whom they vainly tried to apprehend
after tracing his calls to Manhattan,
Brooklyn and the Bronx. had told a
police Official to 60 to the lake to find
the body.

ITEM VETO MOVE
LOST FOR SESSION
Plan to Give President More,
Power Sidetracked by
Conferees.

The move to give the President item
veto power over appropriation bills
was sidetracked for this session yes
terday, when House and Senate con-
ferees struck the proposal from the
$l,4so, 100000 independent Offices sup
ply bill.
The provision had been written into
the bill on the floor of the House, but
the Senate's action in eliminating it
10 days ago was sustained without
difficulty in conference. It would
have authorized the President to elm
mate all or part of any appropriation
item from any supply bill. effective
after submission to Congress for 60
days.
Separate resolutions to grant such
power by constitutional amendment
are under consideration in the Judi
ciary Committee, but are not likely to
reach enactment stage in this Con-
gress.
Differences Settled.
All differences in the independent
onces measure were settled except
three Senate amendments, which must
60 back to the House for separate votes
this week. They are:
The McKellar proposal to require
Senate confirmation of experts and
attorneys appointed to independent
agencies, except T. v. A.. If the
salary is more than $1,000.
The Norris amendment to add
$l0,000,000 to Che Rural Electrifi-
cation Administration.
The Gilbertsville Dam project,
costing about $4,000, 900, added to
the T. v. A. appropriation in the
Senate.
Civil Service Cut Restored.
The conferees restored 100000 of
q $l50.000 cut the Senate had made
in Civil Service Commission funds.
They also compromised by restoring
half of the S3,0O0000 cut the Senate
made in the House Owners Loan
Corp. authorization. This gives H. o.
L. c. s26.500,O0O.
The bill covers the annual require

USED CAR SALES

An indication of the size and
scope of the used car industry in
America is given by used car sales
of the Chevrolet dealers during the
present year and for more than three
years consecutively, according to
William E. Holler, general sales man
ager of the Chevrolet Motor Division.
June sales of used cars totaled
123,7O1," he said, land 1t was the
4Oth consecutive month that Chevro-
let dealers exceeded the one-hundred
thousand mark. 1t brought the 1888
total to 725,086 and the grand total
for forty months to 5,732,819."
1t has been estimated that the used
car business in the country has an
annual dollar turnover of approx
mately two billion dollars for a nor
NAL year. Statistics say that there
are more than 100000 motorists
who buy regularly in the used car
market.
can interesting picture OF this
market is obtained by examining the
figures of sale that Chevrolet dealers
send to the central Office" comment
ed Holler as he discussed the phases
of the gigastic used car business.
Nearly 700 used cars per average
hour were sold by company dealers
since March, 1885, when the present
record was started. That means
about IS per minute and 5512 per
day, more than $4,000 per week and
an average per month of 143,320.
"There are 9,400 Chevrolet dealers
in the United States and they en-
ploy an average of 10000 statesmen.
Since last year, when the used car
organization was started in the sales
been especially trained-before that
new car sellers also sold used cars.
The record the Chevrolet dealers and
statesmen have made in selling so
many used cars is a tribute to their
ability in merchandising and one Of
the great assets of the factories for
if used cars are not sold then new
carscannot be handled by dealers
and factories close"
A statistical expert figured that the
5,732,819 used cars sold by the
Chevrolet dealers during the last
forty months would reach $4,000
miles, bumper to bumper, or half
way around the world at the equator.
At $3.50 average per car, the total
dollar value would be>$1,250,000.000.

HONEYMOON SPOILED FOR
YOUNG COUPLE

The time-honored tag, and so

little bliss to a 20-year-old Camden,
N. ]. youth and his bride of II Tues

They eloped to Elkton Monday
night They were married. Ihen
Dominick LaMarra, of 500 Liberty
street, Camden, and his bride. the
former Maria A. Margiotta, of 302
Liberty street, retired to the home
of his uncle, Earl Hess, of Dover,
Del, to spend their wedding night.
That's about as far as the story
goes. The young couple were awak-
ened early Tuesday by Dover police,
who had instructions from the girls
parents to hold the two until they
arrived.
First inkling Mr.. and Mrs. Marco
Margiotta, the parents, had of the
wedding was upon the return of Dor
othy Scott, IS, and Joseph Sterick
both of Camden, who attended DOM
mick and Maria at the ceremony.
And the Margiottas were quite upset
when they learned that their daugh-
ter, a minor, had taken the matri-
monial plunge without their consent.
The new Mrs. LaMarra was back
with her parents Tuesday, leaving
the next move up to her husband.
Meanwhile, Maria consoled herself
with a marriage certificate decorated
with forget-me-nots, and ring-two
substitutes for a husband.

RALLY AT WEST
NOTTINGHAM

The Youths Temperance Council
of Maryland has just spent a very
interesting week at West Noting
ham Academy. A fine group of young
people made the most of the op
portunity to better prepare them
selves to live lives of service at a
time when such are very much need
ed. They put on some very good
programs which were enjoyed by
those who found time to attend
them. The storm ON Sunday evening
prevented many from enjoying the
Pearl Medal Contest, which was
participated in by six of the young
people. In spite of the storm which,
put out the lights in the church for
over an hour the Vesper Program
was carried thru and the extra time
spent singing hymns, which the
group proved their knowledge of,
and real interest in. When the lights
came on soon after eight they went
on with the Defamation Contest,
which was very much enjoyed by
those who braved the storm to at
tend it.
On Monday the weather again
proved inelement, but the w. G.. T.
U. Institute was held as planned,
with the following State and Ma
tional officers taking part; State
President, Bertha M. Tyson; Direc-
tor of Christian Citizenship, Mrs.
Philena Fenby; Director of Insti-
tutes, Mrs. Frazier; National Y. T.
c. Secretary, Miss Helen Byrnes;
and President of the New Jersey Y

tor of International Relations,
Bertha Balderston, had on exhibition
a group of Origional Peace Posters
made by High School Students from
all over the United States for the
Contest which was held in the
spring. This group was selected
from the 1900 posters made in A
states for this, the third contest of
its kind, sponsored directly by Miss
Nancy J. Babb, of Philadelphia.
Following the Institute the County
w. C. T. U. provided a picnic sup.
per for the Y. T. G. Group which,
had to be served inside, seemed to
be appreciated nome the less. About
eighty people enjoyed the repast
and then the Young People again
put on a splendid program includ-
ing a one act play which was very
true to life in its subject matter as
well as its presentation. Bartlett
Derr, State Y. T. C.. President.
whose ably led in the various ses-
sions, was reelected State President,

1t is reported that the War De

Edgewood Arsenal and remove them
either to some point in Pennsylvania
or Ohio.
The reason given is that the
plants in time of war would be ex-
posed to enemy raids from the air.
About 1900 persons are employed
at the two plants, many of whom
are local residents. There are also
about 1000 soldiers stationed there.
