BY JOSEPH w. GREGG, Jr. United Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlted Press Staft COrreSpOndent)
 London, June 22. - (UP) - Countess Court Haugwitz- Reventlow, the former Bar bara Hutton, has taken "cer- tain precautions" to protect her young son from kidnap- ing, it was revealed today. A kidnap threat had been re- ported by the London Daily Mail. It was promptly denied by Scotland Yard, but w. M. Mitchell, lawyer for the heiress to the $4OO00,00O 5 and 10 Cent Store fortune, revealed that two years and three-months- old Lance, was being guarded carefully.
 T am sure that the press will appreciate that for legal reasons it is impossible for the countess to make any statement at the present time," Mitchell said. If, at later stage, she has anything to say, you may be sure the press will be in- formed"
 Report Exaggerated
 Mitchell said the countess had declared that the kidnap report was greatly exaggerated, but he admitted it was true that she had taken certain precautions"
 The lawyer met newspapermen at the gates of the imposing Haug- witz-Reventlow town residence, Winfield House, in Regents Park, where the countess was entertain ing number of friends.
 The main gate was locked and a man servant stood guard. Two other men attached to the household pa trolled the spacious grounds.
 All callers were required to show credentials. Trades men were told not to say anything of what they saw.
 Deliveries Intercepted
 Large parcels and bouquets of flowers for the countess were handed the gates and taken to the house by a footman.
 Hundreds of curious spectators drove or walked past and gazed at the fortress-like, three-story Georg- ian residence. Iron bars are placed across each window nightly to foil any intruder.
 Winfield house is secluded by trees and an iron fence surrounds the parklands and terraced gardens sweeping down to boating lake. It

tuition, the school. He placed special
emphasis around the fact that last
year, fifty percent of the local taxes
collected in the United States were
devoted to the schools of America,
stressing also the Importance of the
students taking advantage Of the
opportunities offered him by the
parent and taxpayer, who suffer
countless and often unappreciated
privations, in order to make possi-
BILE free and complete education.
The speaker compared an education
with a pyramid, stating the neces-
sity of building up block by block
the foundation upon which our whole
future rests, calling attention to the
fact that single block left out may
result in the destruction of our
ideals. In the words Of Mr.. Secrest,
Success is vision, without which
few succeed; if you visualize in ear.

steps, gaping door. Poor ex-
cuse of place. But at least
it offered shelter.
Inside-silence thick as dust.
Rickety rafters rat-eaten
floors. Some tattered paper
flowers in a broken jar. Some
crude and fated Stations of the
Cross. Across one end the
affairs shadowed bulk flaked
gilt, gnarled candles and a strip
of ragged lace. Poor shabby
place!
Weary, huddled by the altar
rail-half dozed. Outside, from
peak to peak, the thunder rolled.
The wind clawed, shrieking, at
the broken sill. Yet silence
closed around me slowly I
grew still.
Then something happened!
What? I yet can't tell. But
twas as though my fear and
sadness fell-away. And left me
wrapt in peace. Such peace!
Peace tall as mountains-with
a power so deep it seemed my
sick and anxious soul had fallen
asleep and waked-reborn!
Then, suddenly as it had come,
the storm had passed. The sun
shine trembled on the tangled
grass; a bird perched, singing,
on a broken stone and in
my heart, too, something sang
and shone. My hurt felt healed!
Only quiet hour in shabby
room where, doubtless, in the
past, dull men" had droned ..
yet, in that silence, I had lost
my pain :. my worried life had
been set on the trail again.
Was that the answer? Is that
what churches mean may
mean to anyone who'll wait and
take a place of healing for
the hearts deep ache o place
of comfort when we trip and
fail -. a service station on
the rocky trail?

PrO-Anti-Lynch Bill

A compromise on the lynch
bill is just what the Southern
reactionaries are looking for.
The widespread lynchings in
the South since adoption Of the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments have
proved that Federal legislation
is necessary to make those
amendments, freeing" the col
ored people, mean something
more than mere words.
If the Southerners think this
bill is aimed at them-well. 1t
is, and it should be. The fact
that the Southern States have
done nothing in all these years
to protect the colored people Is
proof that they will do nothing,
and that the United States Gov
ernment must step in. This
bill is not perfect, but it is a
step in the right direction and
should be passed.

assured that Admiral Land
will instill in this service much
Of the decorum and discipline
that abides throughout the
United States Navy. Perhaps it
will mean the lifting of the
morale that apparently has hit
a low ebb, due largely to the
Lack Of restraint Of certain labor
forces that have placed the
Government in several embar-
RAISING situations while our
vessels were in foreign waters.
Need I recall the Algic affair
in South American ports where
the captain of that ship charged
members Of the crew with con-
duct contrary to the accepted
code on the high seas? More
recently, of course. were the
charges hurled at the crew per-

CAIRO GARDENS
Our thoughts are of the cool,
lovely Persian gardens beside
the Nile. We have seen gardens
everywhere, but those in and
around Cairo linger longest in
our memory.
We like to think Of the holy
carpet that is woven each year
in Cairo for the pilgrimage to
Mecca. It's departure is marked
by a colorful ceremony in which
outriders escort the gilded palan-
quin in which it reposes. We like
to think Of the little apprentice

beg and cajole to be allowed to
work on the carpet. This is Cairo

people in public life are un-
fitted for the successful man
agement of property or business.
II the management takes
more Of the profits than it
should have. the government
takes it in the form Of taxes for
the public good. It is the in,

Of us are interested in, not the
property itself. We know that
no one can take property with
them when they die. So long
as the government can regulate

it sees fit why should we worry
about title or ownership?
