When the bill was quickly checked
against the ransom list. he was in.
formed that it was part of the Ross
ransom money.
Disclaims kidnapping.
1T may be hot money, but I don't
know anything about that kidnapping,
Anders is quoted as exclaiming. He
admitted he had more money that
might be "hot," but asserted he had
gotten it in New Orleans from a man
whose identity he did not know.
In his car at the. track the agents
found about $4,000, mostly ransom
bills. He continued to deny knowl-
edge of the Ross case.
Director Hoover and Assistant nj.
rector Tolson arrived at Los Angeles
by plane after Anders had been oues-
toned at length without avail. When
Mr. Hoover walked in the room An
oers remarked: Il know who YOU
are-you're a big shot-but YOU an
noy me just as much as these agents
Of yours"
Mr.. Hoover decided to use "nsv-
chology" on the prisoner, against
Wnom mass of damaging evidence
was collecting. He ordered his men
70 cease the questioning He sent out
Tor a big steak dinner with all the
trimmings and let Anders eat It.
Then he told him he was going to
let him alone to think things over
and to sleep if he wished to. Anders
went to sleep and slept soundly all
night.
The next morning he told the
agent on guard to send for Mr..
Hoover.
I'm ready to tell the truth about
everything" he said.
Later he told his mother in Min
nesota that the G-men treated me
like perfect gentleman" Apparent
ly the psychology treatment had
worked.
His lengthy statement was taken
down by a stenographer, and he
signed each page after making oc-
casional revisions. On the basis of
disclosures made in the statement
Anders was taken at once by plane
to Minnesota, where he accompanied

Fly the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-Reports
were current today that AL Capone,
under observation in the hospital ward
at Alcatraz Island Federal Prison,
might be transferred to the Federal
Hospital for Insane Criminals at
Springfield, Mo.
The rumor persisted that the Chi
cago gangster, serving time for income
tax law violation. was suffering from
paresis, condition which brings
about destruction of the brain cells.
DR.. Edward 1witchell. consulting
psychiatrist for Alcatraz, who admitted
yesterday he had visited Capone on a
special call Sunday, observed:
Whether Capone has paress or
anybody else has it, it now is durable
condition. Malaria treatment in IA
vorable cases results in pretty rapid re-
sponse."
Basis of Reports.
Reports that Capone would be re-
moved to Springfield were based on
lack of facilities for the malaria treat
ment to be given at Alcatraz.
Warden James A. Johnston refused
to discuss the case other than to OBJ
serve that no orders for a transfer to
Springfield had been received
A spokesman for the Department of
Justice at Washington admitted the
Chicago gangster was under observa-
tion, but insisted staff physicians had
made no definite diagnosis. Prison
Bureau officials at Washington said
Capone would be treated at the Alca-
traz Hospital unless further examina-
ton disclosed a necessity for trans
fering him to an institution af1ording
more adequate facilities.
Treatment Required.
DR.. Twitchell said the type of
medical attention required would de-
pend on further treatment of the case,
presuming Capone is suffering from
paress."
He declined to say whether Capone
was afflicted with the malady.
"Paresis," he said, causes destruc-
ton of the brain cells 1t is entirely
different from the condition known
as stir crazy, which is a nervous
condition.
In the case of man with paresis,
confinement might hasten its progress
If the disease is discovered quick
ly enough, the malaria treatment is
effective. Treatment, of course, can
not restore brain cells which have al
ready been destroyed, but it can ar
rest the course OF the disease"
Federal Officials Silent.
Federal officials declined to COM
ment on reports from the prison that
Capone began to show evidence of
"blow-up" last week. The reports
were that he had refused to leave
his cell for meals: made and remade
his bed for hours; broke out into
song, and finally COL
lapsed.

The group also hopes to aid In re-
habilitation of other veterans.
$500 Americans in Spain.
1t. Tanz said there are still ap-
proximately, 5000 Americans fighting
in Spain. About 200 others, the ma.
Jority OF whom were wounded, have
returned to this country, he added.
The lieutenant said he felt that by
fighting the Fascist invasion in Spain
he could aid in blocking Fascist forces
in the United States and other coun-
tries.
L believed that if the Insurgents
were victorious in the Spanish war, it
would prove an incentive to Fascist
groups in this and other nations"
He said the Abraham Lincoln Brig.
ade is considered the crack unit Of the
entire international contingent. It is
model for discipline and stamina, he
said.

D. c. HIGHWAY AID
NEEDS PRESENTED.
Arguments Given by White
hurst, Cottre||, Keneipp
and Holloway.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Before the hearings which have
been in progress for three weeks on
the $476. 100000 bill authorizing Fed
eral aid for highway building were
closed today, the needs of the District
of Columbia were forcefully presented
by H. C. Whitehurst, director of high
ways; Robert Cottrell, secretary of
the Washington Board of Trade;
George Keneipp, manager of the Key
stone Automobile Club, and Shubert
Holloway Of the American Automobile
Association.
Under this BILL which covers the
fiscal years 1910 and 1941, the District
would share in the same proportion as
the States, and it is estimated would
receive 100000 to s75O,OOO each year.
Diversion Attacked.
The diversion of $765 900 from the
gasoline tax fund for street lighting
as provided in the District appropria-
tion bill for 1889 was assailed by the
District witnesses. Chairman Cart
wright of the Roads Committee, who is
sponsoring the Federal aid bill, and
Thomas H. Macdonald. chief of the
Bureau of Public Roads, have con-
tended this diversion imperils the
chances of the District sharing in the
Federal aid funds.
Secretary Cottrell told the commit
tee Washington would be the only
place in the United States or its pos
sessions not getting benefits under
the act. He argued that many States
get more in road-building assistance
from the Federal Government than
they pay into the gasoline tax, while
the District pays S2,l00,0O0 into the
gas-tax fund and would receive only
100000 or less under the bill
Mr.. Cottrell emphasized that the
District paid s23.O00,0O9 in Federal
taxes for the last fiscal year. which is
more than "a States, so Federal high
way aid to the District of Columbia
would not be donation"
Cites Benefits to States.
He stressed the point that what the
District would receive if included in
the pending bill would not reduce to
any degree worth considering the
amount available to any other State"
He explained that "the Federal Gov
ernment pays about 13 per cent as its
share to the District budget (s5,00O,-
000) while large number of States
whose payments to the Federal Gov
ernment are much less get much larger
benefits. The District pays for most
OF the Federal Governments paving
in the Capital, he pointed out.
None of the Federal Governments
payment toward support of the Capt.
tai City goes for road building or
maintenance, he emphasized, because
the streets are supported entirely out
OF the gasoline tax fund Congress
has seen fit to include Puerto Rico and
Hawaii in the highway Federal aid
and there is special act pending to
also extend these benefits to Alaska.

Lincoln Brigader Predicts
Ultimate Loyalist Victory
Says Euer, Those Behind
Francois Lines
Against Him.

A 3l-year-old New York attorney
who gave up his law practice to fight
in war-torn Spain expressed conf
dence today that the Loyalist forces
ultimately will be victorious.
Looking more like a college student
than veteran Of a years service with
the defenders of the Spanish Loyalist
government, 1t. Alfred Tanz told
interviewers that press dispatches
haven't carried true picture of what
the Spanish people feel toward the
insurgents.
Il don't think there's any question
but that the Loyalists will win," he
said. How long will it take? Well,
not even the best military minds could
answer that question"
1t. TanZ returned to the United
States about two months ago after
serving with the Abraham Lincoln
Brigade, composed OF American VOL
unteers fighting for the loyalists.
After being relieved of his duties, he
said he spent some time travelling in
Spain before returning.
Says Franco Support Lacking.
Il would say that 999 out of every
1000 citizens of Spain are ready to
lay down their lives for the loyalist
cause" he declared. Not even those
In Frances territory are behind him."
It. Tanz is in Washington to attend
meetings at the Raleigh Hotel Satur-
day and Sunday at which a perma-
nent organization of veterans of the
Abraham Lincoln Brigade will be
formed. Sixty veterans of the brigade
are expected to attend the conferences.
The purpose of the organization will
be to aid the loyalist cause by sending
speakers all over the country ito ex-
plain what is happening in Spain. :"

D. c. COMPENSATION ACT
EXEMPTION IS APPROVED

Members Of Congress don't like the
idea Of being held personally liable
Tor injuries to their own employees, as
is the case under the new District
Compensation Act, so the House Dis
trict Committee lost no time today in
approving a bill that would exempt
them
Action was taken at the request Of
Representative Hobbs, Democrat, OF
Alabama, who explained the Judiciary
Committee Of the House has another
measure under consideration that
would make the Federal Government
bear the compensation burden OF
congressional employees.

then stopped off in Washington for
q visit. He said he registered at
small hotel in the downtown section,
the exact location of which he did not
know. For three days he wandered
around the city, swapping pictures as
mementoes Of the visit.
Did you take one of our inspection
tours through the Department Of JUS
tice?" Director Hoover inquired.
mo" Anders replied, but I guess
I've got one coming to me now"
Anders said he went on to Miami,
Fla, where he played the races at
Tropical Park. He declared he won
$1,000 there.
He moved on to New Orleans, to
Pecos, Tex, and finally to Los Angeles,
where he decided to try his luck at
the races again.
He bet on some races with good
results on Thursday. January Is.
That afternoon the Federal Reserve
Bank in Los Angeles reported to the
r. B. I. that Ross ransom money had
been received from the Santa Anita
yace track.
Mr.. Hoover ordered q dozen agents
TO prepare a trap at the track the
next day. Since there were several
hundred betting windows to watch,
track authorities were enlisted to aid
in the plan. It was agreed that when
any one rendered a Chicago Federal
Reserve Bank note-which was the
type Of bills used chiefly in preparing
the ransom bundle-the man at the
window would make a gesture with
his hand as signal. It was pointed
out 1t would take too long to attempt
an immediate check of the serial
numbers.
Anders bought ticket on the third
race, handing over one of the counters
q $40 note Of the Chicago Federal Re-
serve Bank. The counter man sig
nailed the G-men, who quietly walked
up to Anders, identified themselves as
Federal officers and announced their
desire to question Anders about the
bill he had Just passed.
Anders made no effort to resist.

At the first hideout was found a
copy Of a news magazine containing
an expression of Mr.. Hoover's critical
attitude toward parole abuses. Mr..
