THE MICHIGAN DAILY Law Strikies At Kidnapers, But Two Still Held Missouri To Hang McGee And Plans To Ask Same PeN~alty For Brother (By Associated Press) The law pointed today of a ten- strike against kidnaping-the first death sentence in an abduction case -but two victims of kidnapers still were missing, with aiuthorities ap- parently at a dead end. Three weeks ago today the young National Guard lieutenant, John J. O'Connell, Jr., of Albany, N. Y., was abducted. He is still unaccount- ed for. The other man still unre- turned is Charles F. Urschel, wealthy Oklahoma City oil man. His wife was reported today near collapse, all efforts at negotiation for his re- lease having been unsuccessful. The ransom demand in the case of O'Connell was originally a quar- ter of a million dollars. Subsequent negotiations may have reduced it, but members of the young man's family have not been communicative, and authorities confess themselves balked. On the heels of the imposition of the death sentence upon Walter Mc- Gee for the kidnaping of Mary Mc- Elroy in Kansas City, the prosecu- tion announced it would seek the same extreme penalty for McGees brother, George, and for Clarence Click, held in the same kidnaping case.. Federal agencies have shown in- creasing energy in tlje pursuit of kid- napers. At Leominster, Mass., today postal inspectors and men from the district attorney's office inquired in- to threats to kidnap executives of the Wachusett shirt factory and mem- bers of their families. The writers of the letters demanded a wage in- crease for employes. Police have been th~reatened. Joseph B. Geenan, assistant United States attorney general, said: "Gang-.: sters and kidnapers throughout the nation may expect the full force of the government in vigorously, per- isteitly and relentlessly prosecut- ingthe violation of every federal law, and in co-operating with state au- thorities, seeking the maximum pen- alty in each case." Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, U. S. M. C., retired, urged modified mar- tial law, which. he thought would end kidnaping within a month. By such a plan, he said,. "we'd soon see the end of the rats who live on ran- som money." Allen Praises Work Of U.S. Conservation Army Few people, according to Prof. Shirley W. Allen of the School of Forestry and Conservation, realize the scale upon which the Civilian Conservation Corps has been organ- ized, moved, and equipped, nor the strain which has been put on the military establishment and to some extent upon the Navy personnel. "The increase in the productive capacity of wild lands in Michigan, through the work of these 11,000 men under skilled supervision, is almost inconceivable," Professor Allen de- clares, "and all of this is over and above the rehabilitation of the men themselves, for whom the movement was largely conceived," he continued. The morale of the men and the total volume of work accomplished is high, he states. iovie Actors Will Not Work With New Help HOLLYWOOD, July 28.-OP)-The second strike in the history of Holly- wood's movie making was shuttled to New. York City today for settlement. Meanwhile a half dozen film stars were reported by Harold V. Smith, head of the, sound men's local, to be refusing tokwork with technicians hired to take the place of men who. walked off the job at the start of the week following a disagreeement over wages and hours of work. He listed Mae West, the Marx brothers, Nancy Carroll, and John Stahl as among players and produc- ers refusing to work with the non- union technical men. Ifis report was without confirmation from those he named or from the studios. Patrick Casey, labor representative of, the producers, announced he had told Richard J. Green, representative of the International Allianc'e of The- ater Stage Employees, the whole mat- ter "would have to be referred back to the international labor union heads in New YorY and to the labor com- mittee of producers in New York."

The Ford Motor Co. has not signed. The Ford company is not a member of the N. A. C. C. and was not rep- resented at the meetings this week of the N. A. C. C. directors. The com- pany was, however, represented at the preliminary meetings. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administitor, who was present when the code was agreed to, said he had talked with Edsel B. Ford on the telephone with respect to the code, but had not talked with Henry Ford. He said the Fords had not signed, but had not refused to sign. Officials of the Ford Motor Co. said there would be no statement from the company "until we have seen the full code." The Ford company represents 24 per cent of the entire industry. The 06 per cent of the N. A. C.C. mem- bership, therefore, represents 72.96 per cent of the entire industry which has agreed to the cde. . Gen. Johnson, who arrived here Thursday afternoon by airplane from Washington, conferred this morning with Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of General Motors Corp., and Alvan Macauley, president of the N. A.C. C. and of the Packard Motor Car Co., in Sloan's office in the General Motors building.- Later he appeared before the board of directors of the N. A. C. C., leavming that meeting at 11:30 a.m. to permit the directors to discuss the code. He was called back 45 minutese later. He emerged almost immedi- ately with a big file of papers under his arm.e "Did you get a code?" he was asked. "Sure we got a code," he replied.] "That's what I came here for. Thirty- five hours a week. That's the work-j ing week I wanted." Gen. Johnson left at once for his1 quarters in the Book-Cadillac Hotel. He left for Cleveland by airplane in mid-afternoon. "I am very happy that we got the code through," he said. "My only regret is that Henry Fordj has not signed it. Up to now, every code that has been presented to us; has been signed 100 per cent by the industry involvd." Electric Power Demand,' Production Increase 12% Electric power demand and pro- duction showed a 12 per cent increase1 in Michigan for June, compared with the same month last year. Reports from public utilities of the State to the Utilities Information Bureau here indicate the July demand for power "has remained firm. Power demand in May showed a five per cent increase over May, 1932, this being the first month since Oc- tober, 1929, to show an ihcrease over the same month in the previous year. "The gains in production," the bureau report said, "are due to the increased demand for industrial power." Pledges Flood Office Of Hugh S.

Director Yost recalled some of Hammond's best games - in 1903, when, after Ohio State held a 6 to 5 lead at half time, Hammond ran wild in the second half and the final score read: Michigan 31; Ohio State 6. An- other was the Chicago game of 1903,( the game in which ,Hammond faced his old teammate at Hyde Park High,, Walter Eckersall, for the first time. On that day Chicago hoped, Fraud Charged In Repeal Vote In Tennessee NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 28-P)--- Anti-repealists, attributing Tennes- see's vote against the Eighteenth Amendment to election irregularities, have asked officers of the United Prohibition Forces to "lay before the proper authorities" any evidence of fraud they may have that "those guilty may be exposed, and, if pos- sible, punished." The action was directed at a mass meeting of anti-repealists. A state- ment of findings in reference to the Tennessee repeal referendum of July 20, when a repeal- majority of ap- proximately 6,000 votes was recorded, said: "Without attributing to the leaders of the iepeal movement or to the many respected citizens who in sin- cerity voted against the Eighteenth Amendment any purpose or effort to win the election by unfair or illegal means, we are convinced neverthe- less, from trustworthy evidence that the majority would have been against repeal had the provisions of the election law been honestly com- plied with at all polling places." special, roast young poark.loin 40c in fact expected 'to halt the rush of the Champions of the West. But the Wolverine steamroller started into action at the outset, rolled over for a touchdown, and from that time on made it only a question of the size of the score. The game was delayed an hour while 200 students and work- ingmen cleared the field of six inches of snow, and had to be called with 15 minutes of playing. time not yet elapsed. -Michigan had a long mar- gin, 28 to 0, when the officials decid- ed to call it a day. Hammond kicked three goals after touchdowns that day, and two field goals. The accuracy of his toe was displayed in booting one of the field goals, the position being so far toward the side of the field that a further step backward would. have put him out of bounds. In that same year, he made the touchdown and kicked the goal afterward that gave Michigan a 6 to 6 tie with Minnesota. The result made both teams claim- ants to the Western Conference championship. As has been the case with many stars of football who have known nothing less than victory, Hammond finished his career in defeat. It was that Chicago game in 1905, won by the Maroons Under Stagg, 2-0. Mich- igan had run up 495 points, and held its opponents scoreless duxrng all the preceding games of the season.

WASHINGTON, July 28.- Both fines and prisona sente mspoi e y t e N to a nces ar povided by theNationial nu1 r Recovery Act for violations of ce of cmpetition. There is a fine of $500 for ea1, violation of the terms of a co: approved and promulgated by Ti . ?resident. No provision is made un, der this section for imprisonmen '3ut each day that the offense coi- inues is regarded as a separate vic lation. Also, violation of any standard se 'y a code is considered a breach o she Federal Trade Commission Aci punishable like any violation of thr anti-trust statutes.

Americans Are Eyeing Fukien, JapsAre Told, TOKIO, July 28.-(/P) - Japanese consuls in Foochow and other parts of China informed the foreign office today of various rumors that Ameri- cans are seeking a foothold in Fu- kien, a maritime province in south- east China proper. A foreign office spokesman said the consuls are investigating the reports especially because "Japan is very sensitive" regarding the possibility of, foreign influence being established in Fukien, opposite Japan's colony of Formosa, which might be menaced thereby. He added that his office placed little 'credence in the rumors and until they are confirmed no action is contemplated. Vernacular newspapers published assertions that the United States navy made a deal to acquire a naval base at Tungshan island, and it was rumored that American capitalists are planning to invest in Fukien rail- ways. The spokesman declared China undertook in Sino-Japanese treaties in 1895 and 1905 never to give up any portion of the Fukien coast to a third power. Non-Japanese authorities recalled similar rumors implying foreign threats against Japan and numerous spy scares flourish nearly evrey sum- mer when the army and navy are preparing their budgets. ALL KEYED UP NEW YORK -( )-Michael Mon- gello, says police, would walk into a busy office, tip his hat to the sten- agraphers and with a "good day" walk out. Everybody thought he was a repair man. Detectives found 14 typewriters in his room. Ike said he needed the typewriters for correspondence. NEW YORK, July 28.-(AP)-Nine- teen years ago today certain officials dipped, their pens in ink and wrote the headlines for today's newspaper. The ink, flowing in tiny streams on parchment, gushed to a mighty torrent on the front pages of the world-heralding the outbreak of the World war. The headlines, black as woe, told of Austria-Hungary declaring war on Servia on July 28, 1914, of Rus- sia ordering a mobilization the next day; then of the others jumping in. Today that ink still splashes on page one. A count shows that of all the headlines on front pages of New York morning dailies today 70 per cent deal with subjects which have been traced-directly or indi- rectly, in whole or in part, by one savant or another-back to the World war. "Chicago indicts Al Capone and 23 in war on rackets." How many times has the world been told that the war bred lawlessness, which fost- ered rackets? "Gov. Lehman acts to put state behind NRA drive." How many men have pointed to the World war as the cause of the severity of the de pression? "Spain to recognize Soviet iuw sia." The traces of war ink on ha are plain: Would the Czar still e o1 his throne if ink hadn't trickled ,j his pen to parchment 19 years ago "Kidnaper doomed to death." t that, too, as some would contend a result of war-spawned crime? "O'Ryan is chosen by fusion grou to run for mayor." That's Maj. (+n. John F. O'Ryan of the 27th divisio, which helped smash the Hinden.uiha line. "World economic parley end<' Would it ever have had to be,n, except for the World war? Some say, that, though the fid ing has ceased, the World war -t goes on. Certainly the mailed ±.t is still penning headlines, not ud on page one, but right through t the financial section. "Not all of them, though. One headline today says: "Vast continent sank below : eons ago." It sank, yet life went on. Perhapm a philosopher could draw a le c from that. TIGHT SPOT FOR GEORGE BECKLEY, W.
