The Halloween parly, which was to have been sponsored by the league at the home of Mr. and Mrs Karl Krudop on Wednesday night of this week, has been postponed one week ASK CAPTORS RELEASE ROSS * ——— ■ ■ - Mrs. Charles S. Ross Implores Kidnapers Free Husband Chicago, Oct. 18 —(UP) — Mrs. Charles 8. Ross implored kidnapers today to release her aged husband. She threatened to stir a vigorous manhunt unless her appeal is answered by 8 A. M. tomorrow. Stricken and frostrated, che dictated from her bed an appeal and ultfmatlum which said, in substance: 1. The kidnaipers' demands have i been met, 2. Roas needs medical attention and “due to the long absence, I be- j lieve tluxte responsible are unable to deliver my husband at this time." i 3. Federal, and police officers have withdrawn to permit negotiations, but will be ordered to act vigorously unless Robs is returned by 8 a. m. Ross, retired greetings card manufacturer, was kidnaped Sept. 25. IT a specific ransom demand has been made, it has been kept secret. H< possessed, police estimated, about $250,000. He was 72, suffering from a heart ailment such as might prove fatal under sudden strain. Mrs. Ross’ ’statement, issued through her atkwney voluntarily and apparently without knowledge of police or G-men, was considered | open to two interprr-tetfons: Either Mrs. Ross pa’d a ransom I and w T as “double-crosaed;’’ or the; statement < attained a code message, perhaps rome ptvarrsrjred sequecne of words, concerning further ransom or return negotiantions. Her attorney. Edmund Cummings Jr., Told reporters: “I cannot amplify the statement. You are free to , place any interpretation you wish upon it.” Issue of the appeal brought no ■ apparent change in actions of ape- , daily detailed officers of the state's attorney's office or tederel bureau of Identification. State's attorneys' officers mean- , time continued draining water from , a brickyard clay pit. believing a body, possibly Ross’, might be found 1 in it. A brickyard official said he | believed a body was in the water. Rosk went to a Sycamore, ill., | . hotel, Sept. 25, for dinner with his former secretary, Miss Florence Freihage, 44. who had been re-, i porting to him periodically cn progress of the greeting card business in which he still held a financial interest. A car followed them out of sycamore. Ross stopped to. let it pass but it drew ahead and stopped. Three men stepped out, one armed. The armed man said: “The boss says this is a kidnaping." He took Miss Freihage's and Ross’ money, and then asked Miss Freihage if she thought “He's good ,'or a quarter million." Miss Freihage told him Ross did not have that much money, and he was ill. The abductors drove off with Ross in their own car. — o DEATH CLAIMS ON I INI EL> I- Kv>M PaGil ONti. and at the church at 2 o’clock. The Rev L. M Pierce, of LaGrange, formerly pastor of the Mt.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, OCTOBER IS. 1937.

Son Comforts Accused Mother One of the dramatic scenes which ensued at the opening of the trial of Mrs Anna Hahn in Cincinnati, 0., for the poison murder of Jacob Wagner. 78, was when her son, Oscar, 12, threw his arms around her and comforted her. The blonde comely German woman, suspected in eight other poison cases, has steadfastly maintained her innocence.

Dalhover, under regular procedure, would have been arraigned today in Marion county criminal I court on a new Indictment charging him with the slaying of Richard Rivers, Indianapolis police ser- : geant. o BLOWOUT PROOF TIRES ARE USED Goodyear Tire Exhibition To Be Shown Here Wednesday Watching a speeding automobile come roaring down the highway — hearing a tire blow zeut—awaiting for the car to crash in the ditch— I breathing a sign of relief when | nothing happens, and the driver 1 brings the car to a safe stop. j I That will be the experience of Decatur residents on October 2Cth, ac-! cording to Glen Oswalt, local man-! ager for The Goodyear Tile and Rubber Co. The demonstration, which will be ' conducted East «f Country Chib on State Road 527 according to Mr. | Oswa’t, will conclusively prove that | blowouts need cause no damage whatever. They will show, he says, ■ i that asp eding car may be brought to a safe st.-p after a blowout with the driver in complete control at all times, instead of crashing inttx tli> ditch or oncoming traffic. Secret of the demonstration is the fact that the cars will be mounted on Goodyear tdfeGuard tubes, j Mr. Oswalt said. The Life Guard tube is in reality a tire within a | tube. An outer oonventional tube | contains an "inner tire," iboth being Joined at the base. A single tiny ; ; vent al'ows air to pass from the i outer tube to the inner tire, and I when a blowout occurs, air escapees I instantly from the outer tube, hut can escape from the inner tire only , through the tiny vent. This meantthat, the outside casing drops about ; ! an inch to ride on the inner tire, while the driver brings the car to a safe stop without a swerve. Huge railway spikes mounted on a flat plate which is laid in the' path of the onrushing car provides ; one means of blowing out tires. ! dynamite caps that rip castings Wide open protides another. "Motorists of this ttty, as well as every other section of the country, are becoming more and more safety conscious, Mr Oswalt said. “LifeGuard tubes have proved them I selves to be one of the greatest I contributions to highway safety in a decade, have prevented many an accident that might pessibly have resu'ted in injury or death." advt. o Dog-Racing Plant Razed Arlington.

MILK STRIKE IN DEADLOCK Settlement Os Indianapolis Strike Appears Far Removed Indianapolis, Oct. 18 — (U.R) — Settlement ot the city’s milk strike which has resulted in suspension of deliveries for 11 days, appeared far removed today following a I stormy conference between union I officials and representatives of the I Indianapolis milk council. 1 Thomas R. Hutson, state labor ' commissioner, in whose office the latest parley was conducted, announced after an hour's discussion: “They remain deadlocked." The council, which ordered suspension of deliveries to homes, drug stores, groceries and other business establishments, presented a new wage scale which officials of the milk wagon drivers’ and dairy employes' union rejected. I Union officials said the proposed j scale would in many instances mean reductions in pay for their ; members. The union seeks a minimum wage of $25 a week for I inside men and S3O a week for drivers. Hutson said no discussion of a , I closed shop or preferential shop. I | issues which heretofore have stale | mated attempts to arbitrate the I dispute, was held at the confer- | ence. Strikes are in progress at three city dairies, the Capitol Dairies. Inc.; Weber Milk company and I the Furnas Ice Cream company. Milk council officials suspended deliveries by 23 other dairies be- ; cause of "threats of violence" arising from the three walkouts. Meantime. strikes continued, among truck drivers, loaders and ' i other helpers at 16 city furniture I : stores and among employes of the; : Beech Grove bus lines. 0 Gates Denies Letter Urging G.O.P. Cleanup i Indianapolis, Oct. 18. - (U.R) Ralph E. Gates, Columbia City, 4th district Republican chairman and , leader of the majority group of the G. O. P. state committee, denied ' today that his group sponsored an i anonymous letter urging a “clean ■up” of the state organization. The letter, reportedly mailed from Fort Wayne and signed “Republican workers," was sent to all party county chairmen, vice-chair-men and workers throughout the ' state. o I Plans Completed * For Fire School I>afayette.

Violence Grows Jerusalem. Oct. 18— (U.R) -Vio-1 lence increased throughout Pales-1 tine today while neutral observers voiced the opinion that peace hetwee”. Jews and Arabs under present conditions was impossible. Military authorities of this British mandate took stern measures to suppress terrorism, but to no. apparent avail. General A. P. Wavell. commander of the Ib.OOti British troops in Palestine, ordered the homes of Arab terrorists burned, following > the destruction of Kalandia airj port, near Lydda. with an estimat-] | ed loss of $50,00b. Sixty persons were arrested for I breaking the 24-hotir curfew which I amounts to virtual martial law. The newest violence was the bombing of the Jewish orthodox quarter ot' Jerusalem. Two bombs were thrown, both of them strik- ■ ing a building. The damage was , slight. • I The Jews seized a Bedouin wlxjm they accused of the bombing, apd turned him over to the police. Two IlgJian-speaking officers who deserted from the French foreign legion in Syria were arrested near Acre, and charged with re-1 ' spousibility for terrorist acts and

I hold-ups in North Palestine. The continued violence was be-1 I lleved to have been caused, at least partly, by a manifesto of Haj El Husscini, the grand mufti of Jeru-) i salem, spiritual leader of more I than 800,000 Alpbs. This manifesto, drawn up before | , he fled the country, called upon his 'Arabs to “continue the fight for inevitable liberation from oppression despite the great British forces and Jewish influence." Scattered violence and attacks on Jews were reported in all parts or the holy land. o 1,400 CHINESE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 2—Any "token” withdrawal ot j volunteers should be proportionate to the number of men in the re-1 spectlve armies. 3 France will not consider withdrawal of less than 5,000 men sufficient to warrant negotiations [on granting limited belligerent I rights to the nationalists and loyalists. 4—Nothing must interfere with the early dispaten or neutral missions to lioth sides to ascertain the exact number of foreign volun-| I teers in Spain and to arrange and , supervise their gradual withdraw-1 al Final returns from provincial i elections showed today that the j popular front government, as pre--1 dieted, had won a victory that strengthened its position as regards foreign affairs.
