Rooseve1h Set To Begin War OnrKidnaping HYDE PARK, N. Y., Aug. 1.-P)- President Roosevelt opened a spe- cial inquiry into means of battling the kidnaping racket in a conference today with Raymond Moley, inti- mate adviser and assistant Secretary of State. The Moley conference follows closely the organization of an en- larged bureau of investigation in the Department of Justice. Mr. Roose- velt'is determined to give full Fed- eral co-operation to the states in the drive against stealing ii human lives. Also, there is indication he will suggest shortly tongovernorsof the states a uniform method of attack against this newest of rackets which is flourishing at an alarming rate. Observers here were inclined to place double significance on the M'oley visit. He has been at odds with. Secretary Cordell Hull over State Departmentpolicies,Hand per- sistent rumors have prevailed that Moley is to be given a new assign- ment. Getting down to business again today, despite the terrific heat, the President signed the wool textile code providing a 40-hour week and minimum wages of $14 in the North and $13 in the South. It is expected, to put 27,000 additional employes to work. The code becomes effective Aug. 14. Every importance was attached to the anti-kidnaping conference by the President. He is known to favor and be organizing a supper-police force-a sort of national Scotland Yard-to go to work with state and local authorities against kidnaping." There is some speculation here over whether Moley may be given the special assignment of drafting the new Federal legislation desired to aid the Government in fighting kidnaping, and that he also will be asked to work out with the state governments the uniform system which the President wants to en- able a united attack on the racket. In' all likelihood, such an assign- ment probably would'transfer Mole to the Department of Justice, but Mr. Moley and the White House very, recently insisted he would continue as assistant secretary of state with offices close to Mr. Hull. Former Law Professor Here Dies In Palo Alto A former member of the law fac- ulty of the University, and retired chief justice of the supreme court of the Philippine Islands, E. Finley Johnson, 73 years old, died Monday at his home in Palo Alto, Cal. The death was attributed to an unex- pected stroke. After his graduation from the Uni- versity Law School in 1891, the jur- ist served on the faculty of the legal department, first as an instructor and later as an assistant professor and finally as a full professor. From 1920 until 1921.he served as chief Two Gangsters Are Killed By Poliee, Mobs CHICAGO, Aug. 1 .-)-Bullets, -fired by police in one instance and' by gangdom enemies in the other- brought death today to two men once notorious in the underworld. Eddie Maciejewski, one-time com- panion of "Wee Willie" Doody on vicious killing sprees and a former member of Joe Saltis' beer gang, was killed as he. completed a petty $20 robbery in a beer tavern. Four policemen shot him down, but his two companions escaped. Sneak killers who shot him in the. back as he idled on a street in sub- urban Cicero accounted for the death of Tony Marino, protege of Al Capone. Marino was lolling before a ga- rage when four men crept in through the rear door of the building, made their way to the front and fired into his back and head. Police said Marino, whose alias was Dominic Russo, met Capone while the gang leader was sojourn- ing in a Philadelphia jail for carry- ing a concealed weapon. The two returned to Chicago together, and Capone placed Marino in charge of his enterprises in Cicero and other western suburbs. A woman welfare worker from a relief station nearby saw the kill- ing. She said the assassins fled in two automobiles. The most recent arrest of Marino was last May when his automobile struck and killed Sally Sirus, 19, in Cicero. He lost a leg as a result of the accident. High Schools Of State Preset Varied Problems, Congdon Says Ti I2 s Observations of a high school visi- tor run the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous, Dr. Wray H. Cong- doh., assistant director of the bureau of -co-operation with educational in- stitutions, said recently in a School of Education conference. '"The University does not send out high school inspectors throughout the State, but school visitors," he explained. "In one school the visitor finds a superintendent who has seen better times, faced with a depleted income, an increased enrollment to be handl- ed by a decreased staff, a board of trustees hardly co-operative because of a bewildered ;community domin- ated by a radical minority out to protect profits, and yet this superin- tendent appears happy," Dr. Cong- don stated. "Urged on by curiosity, the visitor learns that the superintendent and his- wifeare managing to give a lit- tle money for food and clothing to two members of the graduating class who would otherwise have had to drop out of school-that approxi- mates the sublime." Continuing, Dr. Congdon told of another school in which girls of 12 or 13 years are seen replete in high- heeled satin slippers, silk dresses, carmined lips and finger nails, and expensive hair waves, and boys of the same age carry gold-platted pen and pencil sets and brief cases. "That approximates the ridiculous," he said. "The average high school teacher observed is in serious need of much more thorough cultural and acad-j Congdon continued. "It is sometimes pitiable to see the prestige of the. teacher all but shattered because a student from a home of culture, or another, is able to denude the peda-, gogue of his false pretenses of cul- ture." These cases should only be consid- ered as arguments for more acad- emic and cultural training, he point- ed out. Concluding, Dr. Congdon stated, that in practically every community. in the State it has been observed that rich and poor alike are very deeply beholden to their teacher, for the manner in which they have contributed to relief of every kind during the period of depression. Four Communists Are Beheaded In Germany, ALTOONA, Germany. Aug.1-()- Four Communists were beheaded to- day after being convicted of killing Nazi demonstrators on July 17, 1932. One of the worst affrays in Ger- many last summer, when the Nazis were fighting to gain power, occurred, in Altoona, a city near Hamburg on July 17. About 6,000 Nazis were fired on from housetops and attics. Pandemonium swept the Nazi line of march and police guards also drew fire. The Communists swarmed from the houses and -tried to erect barri- cades and it was more .than an hour before order was restored. At least 12 per'sons were slain and about 50 NEW YORK, Aug.. 1. -(P)-The draw for the Wightman Cup, tennis matches between the United tates and Great Britain, to be played Fri- day and Saturday at- Forest Hills, was made today and the burden of American victory placed on a new- comer to international competition. Alice Marble, of Sacramento, Calif. She was named with Mirs. Helen Wills Moody, a veteran of -nine of the 10 Wightman Cup teams, and Helen Jacobs, United States champion, to play singles against the British and also to pair in doubles with Mrs. Moody. Miss Jacobs and Sarah Pal- frey, National doubles champions, will handle the other doubles assign- ment. With Mrs. Moody and Miss Jacobs favored to win three of the four points needed for the seventh Ameri- can triumph in the series it appears to be up to Miss Marble on the basis of recent play, to either win or help to win the other point. LAWYER? A BLACK ONE NEWPORT, Ky., Aug. 1.-(AP)-Au- brey Barbour, an attorney, told Judge A. M. Caldwell "unofficially you probably'won't believe me, but .never- theless this excuse for tardiness is an honest one." He said he was driving his automo- bile to court when a tire blew' out. He hailed a cab, but a tire blew out on it, too. So he called another cab, and just as he put a foot on the run- ning board, a tire went flat. And he tripped and lost the rubber heel of a shoe on the way. Hunter, Okla., received a tank car of water by rail to
