Southern Senators proposed today
that the wage-hour bill include as
slrance of freight rates for their sec
tion as low as those enjoyed by
Northern shippers, If no provision Is
made for sectional pay standards.
Industrialists IN the South long
have contended higher freight sates
offset any advantage they held ever
Eastern manufacturers by reason OF
lower wages.
The question of wage differentials Il
one OF the major problems confronting
the committee of Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes trying to compromise diff
ferences in the wage-hour bills passed
by the Senate and House.
While Southerners have demanded
such differentials, Senators Ellender,
Democrat, of Louisiana and Pepper,
Democrat, OF Florida were said by
other committee members to be agree
able to their elimination if workable
railroad rate clause could be written
into the bill. Senator Ellender and
Senator Pepper are the only Southern
Senator's on the committee.
Administrator Proposed.
Committee members said such a
clause might take the form of simple
provision that rates between two des-
tinations be the same, irrespective of
the direction in which the traffic
moved. Southerners said that at
present rates are higher, for instance
on freight shipped from some South
ern points to New York than they are
on similar shipments from New York
to the Southern points.
Chairman Mary T. Norton, Demo.
crat, of New Jersey of the House
Labor Committee, trying to meet criti.

cents an hour the second year. Aftel
that the increase might be made a

PRINCETON, Fla, June 4.-Wearied
grief-ridden James Bailey Cash. sr.
said today he was resigned to the
death of his only child, but convinced
the kidnap-slayers would be caught.
Mr.. Cash, shoulders bent by fatigue
and his eyes bloodshot from sleepless
nights, appeared briefly on the porch
of his home to express to reporters his
thanks to the 1000 persons who
hunted fruitlessly for the blond 5-year-
old boy snatched from his bedroom
last Saturday.
Asked if he thought the case would
be solved, he said
Yes, think SO, as far as catching
the fellows who did it is concerned
Once we catch them, We will be
able to find out what they did with
the boy"
Expects Break Soon.
"I expect a break within the next
week or 10 days he said, but declined
to amplify the statement.
The stricken father said Mrs. Cash
was under a physicians care, but was
"some better" Like himself, she has
abandoned hope for her blue-eyed
sons life.
With the battling case entering
routine phases of investigation, most
of the 1000 persons who tramped in
vain over 100 square miles of terri
tory bordering the Everglades returned
to their homes.
Throngs CT curious idlers about the
home of tow-headed "Skeegie"
dwindled and life here slipped back
slowly into its normal pace.
The feet of boats which cruised
along the coast and through canals
dispersed. Divers who sought clues
at the bottom of creeks and water
filled quarries turned to other tasks.
Federal Agents Busy.
But the squad of Federal agents
headed by j. Edgar Hoover worked
diligently on every lead, mindful Of
the fact almost a week had passed
since the Cash boy was stolen from
his bed last Saturday night.
One group planned today to finish
a survey of the Cape Sable area, on
the extreme southern tip of the penin-
sula, and then move westward along
the Tamiami Trail.
Agents continued to question a num-
ber of persons - Mr. Hoover called
them voluntary witnesses''-at Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation head
quarters in Miami. Mr.. Hoover said
no one had been charged with the
crime.
The Miami Herald said among those
still remaining at the headquarters
were M. F. BraXton, unemployed
Princeton carpenter; Ray Rayburn,
Mr.. Braxtons son-in-law, and a Red
lands youth who formerly was en-
ployed by James B. Cash. sr., at his
filling station and general store here.
Investigators were hopeful the kid
napers soon would spend a part of
the $4,000 cash delivered in a fruit
less effort to ransom the boy. Serial
numbers of the bills were broadcast.
Activity was not confined to Florida.
Federal agents joined State police in
searching Northwestern Indiana after
receiving a report a boy resembling
"Skeegie" was seen at Fowler, Ind.
Mr.. Hoover came to Princeton for
the first time last night, spending an
hour at field headquarters set up by
the F. B. I. He entered the Cash
home for a moment, but did not see
the parents.

In the evening, the Blues, feeling bad enough over the end of an imperfect day had to give their conquerors a flock of Chris Har- mons best turkey dinners and, fel- low workers, one does not know what real turkey dinner is until he had tussled with a Thanksgiving bird at the locally famous Baldwin street eaterie.

 Vincent Scully was the personal gastronomic guest of Johnny Fitz- maurice, while other pack it in champions included Matty Penikas who goes for blienes for dessert, Jer- ry Mooney. who likes corned beef in- stead of cranberry sauce with his turkey; Jimmy Barber, who got of the spaghetti standard when he won three points, George McNamara who can take care of two turkeys and never show 1t; and Primo Jamele, who had to pay for two dinners be- cause he was on the losing team but became so turkey conscious that he bought another one just for the fun of eating 1t.
 Winners and losers were distrib- uted as follows:
