kidnapped in New York by two thugs
who kept him prisoner in his own

filling station when they stopped to
fill the steaming radiator with water
Mr.. Reiter gave police the fol-

Philadelphia filling station.
While one of his captors was fill

a revolver from the second ano

the weapon failed to fire. The thug
smashed Mr.. Reiter's face with his
fists and the manufacturer jumped
out OF the car.
The man who had been filling
the radiator scooped up the re-
volver, jumped into the car and sped
away. The entire incident took
place so swiftly, William Bailey, the
attendant, did not realize what had
happened until Mr.. Reiter strug-
gled to his feet.
After treatment for leg and face
wounds, MI. Re!ter told police he

At 36th street and Madison ave-
nue., in the heart of Manhattan, he
stopped for a red light. Opening the
doors on both sides, the thugs, armed
with revolvers, forced him into the
middle of the front seat, warning
This is kidnapping and if you
do anything to attract attention we
will kill YOU"
One of the men then took Mr.
Refers watch and a diamond ring
and 5000 from his wallet. He kept
revolver hard against Mr. Reiter'
ribs and asked if he had any money
at home. Mr.. Reiter said mo" but
the kidnapers retorted. you're going
there, just the same"
At his apartment building, the
driver stayed in the car, while the
other pocketed his revolver and took
him through the lobby and up the
automatic elevator to the apart
ment. He ransacked the place, TAX
ing all the jewelry he could find.
The man then filled three suit
cases with clothing, and marched
Mr.. Reiter down to the car, forcing
the abducted man to carry two of
bags.
The men put Mr.. Reiter in the
back seat and drove through the
Holland Tunnel and even stopped
for gasoline 80 miles north of Phila-
delphia, but Mr.. Reiter was unable
to call for help or try to escape

In reply to a demand for expiana-

Saturday, Mr.. Attlee said Britain
had mandatory duty to maintain

tolerate lawlessness and disorder.
Mr.. Attlee's questioner, Laborite S.

initiate debate tonight on the
British action in the Holy Land.

said the United States Government

to try to put the onus on another

Mr.. Attiee's remarks whether he

cations throughout the country"
The Jewish agency, he added. had
been warned repeatedly of the grav-
ity of the development of disorders.

absence of business men who daily

1t. Bright's report was believed
here to be the first ever made on

He was able to notice the smell
