BOY STOLE, TOOK / HIS OWN LIFE
Writes Father of Act, as Parent Is Arrested for
 Bank Theft

Dallas, Tex, April 25-(UP)- Wayne Ponder, 12, having learned his ethical lessons well, wrote a note to his father confessing that he had stolen small sums of money from him and asking forgiveness. Then he killed himself.
 A few hours later, the father, Walter w. Ponder, 34, was ar raigned before a United States commissioner and pleaded guilty to stealing money from the bank which employed him as a teller.
 The wife and mother was killed year ago in an automobile acci- dent and Ponder was accustomed to walking the streets at night, grieving and breeding. When po- lice found him, they handed him his sons suicide note and the war rant calling for his arrest.
 The tragedy occurred Sunday night but it was not revealed until yesterday when Ponder was re- leased from jail temporarily so he could go to an undertaker's parlor and look at his sons body.
 The federal warrant charged em- bezzlement of $1,750. The total of the sons peculations was unknown, but, since it was taken to buy con- fections and gee-gaws was believed to be less than $10. He killed him. self with his .22 caliber rifle.
 Bank officials said that the money embedded had been returned and expressed reluctance to prose- cute Ponder.

Three Strong Organiza- tions in Alsace Are Shut Down By Police
BY JEAN KNITTED


 United Press Staff Correspondent) Strasbourg, France, April 25.--
 (UP)-The French government act ed today to suppress the three most active autonomous organizations in
 Alsace but failed to touch fourth movement led by Joseph Bilger,
 known as ''the Green Shirted Fueh- rer."
 The organizations dissolved on charges of being against French na- tional interests were the Jungmann- schaft, the Bund Erwin Won Stein-
 bach and the Elsa Effischer Volks-
 bildungverein. The German-speak- ing Alsatian leaders of these groups are Dr. Joseph Bickler and Hans Spieser.
 Police Orders Wind Up
 Police ordered them to wind up the affairs of the organizations, re- turn all membership fees and dis continue propaganda pointed toward tearing Alsace away from France. The fourth organization in the territory that France recovered from Germany after the World war is the peasant cooperative movement, founded in 1888 by Bilger, who is only g. years old but who claims to
 have 10000 peasant followers. Bilger strongly defended himself
 against charges that he was anti
 nationalist and said he sought only
 to improve the condition of the
 peasants.

DIR. LEISERSON
 FOR LABOR BOARD
Mediation Board Chairman Slated for Position Held
 By Donald Smith

Washington, April 25-(UP)-In- formed sources said today that President Roosevelt, acting in the midst of congressional conflict over the Wagner Labor Act, has decided to appoint Dr. William M. Leiser- son, national mediation board chairman, as a member of the Na- tional Labor Relations board.
 Leiserson, the sources said, will be nominated to succeed Donald Wakefield Smith, NLRB member who has been attacked by the American Federation of Labor and who is continuing his service on the board under an interim ap- pointment which never has been sent to the senate.
 Smiths foes in the senate claimed sufficient votes to prevent his con- firmation if he ever were formally nominated.
 Leiserson, 56 years old, has had long experience in industrial rela- tionS and as a labor economist. He has been chairman of the media ton board, which handles railway and airline disputes, since 1884. Prior to that he was secretary of the NRA's National Labor board and chairman of the Petroleum Labor Policy board.
 He served as chief of the labor department division of labor ad- ministration in 1913 and 1919 and from 1919 through 1926 he was the chairman of the mems clothing in- dustrieS boards of arbitration in Rochester, N. r., New York, Balti- more and Chicago.

Hitler, Won Ribbentrop Are Too Busy Elsewhere to
 Receive Henderson
HITLER NOT TO TONE
 DOWN HIS SPEECH
President Roosevelt Is Ready With Olive Branch
 If Hitler Talks Peace
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS


 United Press Foreign News Editor)
 Great Britain's new peace gestureaalith a mailed fist got a cold reception today in Nazi Germany. The govern ment of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sought to sway Adolf Hitler toward a constructive attitude in his speech Friday replying to President Roosevelt's peace message by a double-bar- reled maneuver.
 Sir Neville Henderson, the British ambassador, was sent back to Ber- lin to tell the Nazis that Britain was still eager to work peacefully toward Germany,s legitimate de- nnands in Europe, but that she was also ready to fight if necessary and to that end had decided in principle to introduce national conscription.
 Henderson was expected to see Hitler, but the Nazi Fuehrer was busy working on his speech. The am- bassador made a date to see Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib bentrop today. Then, it turned out, the foreign minister also was busy. Henderson inquired as to when he might see Ribbentrop, but it devel- oped that the foreign minister was out of town and might not be back until late tonight and that he would be very busy.
 May Not See Anybody
 In well-informed Nazi sources it was said that it appeared that un- fortunate circumstances might make it difficult for Henderson to see any, body except minor foreign office officials before Friday.
