Black, conservative i ■ Atlanta. Ga., banker, and Roosevelt ! appointee as governor of the Fed- I ! eral Reserve Board. Adolph Caspar Miller, one-time i adviser of President Hoover and a ! member of the Federal Reserve ’ Board since its formation in 1914. ■ His term expired August 9. E. G.

President Roosevelt has made no ■ move yet to fill the vacancies to be | ' caused by the impending resigna- ’ ■ tions. although Miller’s term has ; expired and Governor Black and ’ FDIC Director Bennett have both , sought to resign for many months.

Byrd was forced to spend ha'f the time in his sleeping bag. both because of his weakness and because he was afraid to use his stove for sufficiently long periods to keep his little hut heat-] ed. It was found that he was too ] weak to crank longer than a few minutes the emergency wireless generator he used to communicate with tlie base, and this accounted for fragmentary reports from him. It appeared also that his wireless receiving set had been out of order for a long time, and he bad i been expecting tlie tractor for many days before it arrived.

ASK AID FROM ALL OFFICERS OF THE NATION Help Is Sought After Kidnapers Fail To Establish Contact HOLD BREWER FOR $150,000 RANSOM Toronto. Onlnrio, Aug. 15. _<U.R) -Aid of nil dominion enforcement agencies, including the Koval Can a<l i.a n mounted police was asked todav to seek the kidnapers iof John S. Ixiball, millionj aire Ontario brewer, held for . $150,000 ransom. The call went out after the kidnapers failed to contact Hugh Dalbatt, brother of the abducted brewer, at his 'room in the Royal York hotel as provided in the i ransom note. It was the first time that such I action, mobilizing all police forces I —federal, provincial and local — I! had been taken in Canadian his- ■ I tory. The move was indicative of a ' decision on the part of police j authorities to track down the kid- ' napers rather than wait for a conI tact from them, because of the . poor health of the abducted brewer and failure to communicate with his brother this morning. The deadline hour set by the kidnapers in a first ransom note ' passed without incident as Hugh 1 1 Labatt, wealthy brother of the i brewer, waited patiently at a . designated hotel, reportedly preI pared to hand over the large sum of money to the gangsters. 1 “Not a word has been received ’ since I left London yesterday,” the . brother, outwardly nervous and broken up over the kidnaping, • told the United Press. ’ “You know about as much as ’ we do about the case,” he added. '! Hugh Labat* spent the entire night and morning in his room at the Royal York hotel where the kidnapers had told him to await ' further communications at 10:00 a. m. (EDT) today. “All we can do is sit and wait ’ ] and hope," he said. Asked to be shown a copy of ; the ransom note which was found j in the kidnaped man’s automobile, which was abandoned in front of St. Joseph's hospital at London, yesterday mornirg, detective sergeant Frank Crowe, of the Toronto police, who was in the room with Labatt, interceded. “We can't show you that," he replied tersely. “After all, we must have some clues to go on.” Labatt hoped that the kidnapers would attempt to contact him later in the day or at least send some ’ (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO) —o HITLER NAMED BY HINDENBDRG Late President Os Germany Bequeathed His Post To Chancellor Berlin, Aug. 15 —(U.R)—The late President Paul von Hindenburg specifically bequeathed his post to Adolf Hitler, it was disclosed today.
