WOULD ABOLISH
 DIVINE SERVICE
German Publication Be- lieves It Should Be Kept
 Out of Army, Navy

Berlin, March 9-(UP)-A de- mand for abolition of the Protestant and Catholic divine service in the army was made in today's issue of the weekly Das Schwarze Korps, an organ close to Heinrich Hemmler, head of the secret police. "Soldierly faith ought really to be free from any internationalism, whether of Roman or Oxford or any other va riety," the leading article in the weekly said. "Soldierly faith cannot be administered by a Pope who in case of war hopes and prays for the victory of the enemies.
 "Soldierly faith cannot be that of Superintendent Dibelius (Martil Dibelius, German theologian) who urges the faithful to refuse military service. Work in the army dealing with a soldiers duties toward God can be thought of only in complete freedom from confessional limi- tations."
 Mattcr or COntenL1On
 The army's religious and educa- tion orientation has been a matter of contention between the radical and conservative wings of the Nazi party. The article referred to Adolf Hitler's reichstag speech of Feb ruary 20 Itressing the solidarity of the army and party, adding that those who believe the army stands aloof from the great process of na- tional socialist life ought to realize they thereby basely insult it's mem- bers.
 "They ought to throw off the red and black spectacles (black in Ger man political symbolism means Catholic) in order to recognize that Hitler is the first worker and first soldier of the reich"
 Das Schwarze Krops suggested that soldiers who are practicing church members may attend serv- ices in their free time but depre- cated the idea of soldiers being led to church In formation by their officers.

LABOR MACHINE
 BADLY BEATEN
Seattle Elects Its Mayor Against Labor Forces,
 That Split in Primaries

Seattle, Wash. March 9--(UP)--. Arthur B. Langlie, who was elected mayor yesterday in what was de- scribed as a popular revolt against the city labor-political machine, said today that he would be i'm partial on labor questions. "T am not going to run crusade against labor he said, but 1t is up to labor to clean it's own house. How ever, labor will not be permitted to step on the toes of innocent per- sons in its various activities" Lang lie, 38, lawyer and city council man for three years, defeated Lieut.. Gov. Victor A. Meyers in yester- days election. Returns from the city's sos precincts gave him 79,997 votes, to Meyers 48,114.
 Labor Leader Beaten
 On June 6, Langlie will succeed Mayor John F. Doore, the ally oi Dave Buck who heads the powerful Teamsters' union and who domina- ted city politics for several years Beck's teamsters supported Dore for reelection in the primary two years ago, but his strong partisanship for the American Federation of La- bor, to which the teamsers belong, lost him the support of committee for industrial organization unions Dore was eliminated in the primary. Dore had been known as the "la- bor mayor" because of his close association with the Beck machine During his tenure, the northwest was swept by prolonged and bitter labor war and Seattle bore the brunt of numerous jurisdictional clashes between AZ. of l.. and C. 10. unions.

Father OF Abducted

Attorney Murray Levine Has Not Heard From Kid- napers-Official Belief Is That Boy Is Dead;

By JOSEPH l.. MYLER
Jnited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff C0rrespOndent)
 New Rochelle, N, Y, March g. (UP)-Murray Levine, whose 12- year-old son, Peter, was Kidnapped l3 days ago, admitted despondently today that efforts to deliver the $3O,000 ransom demanded by the boys abductors had failed thus far
 There has been no ransom pay ment," he told reporters who tele- phoned his home. Any report of that is incorrect"
 Levine's statement was interpret ed to mean that the kidnapers had not responded to his reiterated ap- peals, by press and radio. that they renew the contact made last week after the ransom note was received.
 The anxious father refused to an- swer any specific questions concern ing his efforts to get in touch with the abductors.
 Nothing New, He Said
 "There is nothing new" he said, and hung up.
 Unusual activity around the Levine home strengthened the belief that Levine,s attempts to contact the kidnapers were becoming increas- ingly desperate.
 From time to time men apparent ly living in the Levine home would emerge from the house, peer into automobiles parked in the vicinity, scan passing cars and return. It was believed the men, whose identi- ties were not learned were seeking some sign from the holders of the boy.
 Meanwhile. official belief that the boy might be dead and impatience over police delay in entering the case. was growing among Vest chester county and New Rochelle authorities.
 Keeps Constant Vigil
 Levine kept constant vigil beside two telephones in his home. Only his continued refusal to answer questions could be taken as any in- dication that a break might be im- minent.

court for settlement. Counsel for Kemp, Attorney John Keogh, chal- lenged the validity of the grand jury proceedings on grounds the jury was improperly drawn and that the states attorney should be ex- cluded from it's hearings.
 The court denied these contentious but upheld the motion restricting the field of questioning by the jurors.
 Kemp, Drien real estate broker and former Republican state repre- sentative, went into the jury room today with prepared statement out lining his position in the parkway negotiations and was understood to have limited his testimony to the statement.
 The Highway Department ap- praiser and State Highway Commis- sioner John A. Macdonald were the sole judges of prices paid for the 432 separate parcels of land purchased dor the $2O,000,0O0 super-highway through Faireld County. Macdonald testified at the beginning of the 1n- vestigation seven weeks ago.
 Followers of developments in the local extraordinary grand jury in- vestigatoin, which is yet in its embryonic stages, wondered today what effect; if any, the ruling by Judge Foster in Bridgeport superior court would bring about.
 Whether or not local witnesses will be forced to testify eff their testimony would tend to in- criminate or degrade him." is the paramount question.
 As yet, only scattering of ap- parently willing witnesses have been brought before the jury by sub poena. Only test case will de? eide whether or not local witnesses will be forced to testify almost against themselves.

 Authoritative quarters understand that in recent conversations be- tween the British government and the dominions strong pressure was brought to bear particularly by Australia and New Zealand, regard ing Premier Neville ClmberlainS conversations with Ribbentrop.

 Whether the jury quizzed Miss Cozza today with regard to the own ership, business, or connections with city officials enjoyed by the com pany, cannot be definitely stated.
