Death for Abductor i t i ’V' John Henry Seadlund Apparently unruffled when he appeared in court at Chicago, above, and heard himself sentenced to death in the electric chair for the abduction-slaying of Chiles Ross, elderly millionaire. John Henry Seadlund was reported to have said, "I don’t give a damn!" i gation.” Bridges, who is co-author with Sen. William King. D. Utah, of a . I resolution for a senate investiga- ( * tion of the TVA. said that he fear’ed that with Dr. Morgan s succes- ] : sor, Harcourt A. Morgan, and Di- , rector David E Lilienthal. in possession of TVA records, “many of I the things of which Dr. Morgan | complained may be covered up or whitewashed." Immediate action on some reso- ‘ lution was probable. Late yester- . 1 day the senate audit and control i committee reported one by Sen ( George W. Norris. Ind . Neb., proposing the appropriation of $50,000 ; for an inquiry of TVA by five senators. Norris planned to call it up today if the reorganization bill is I passed. Congressional leaders are com- | mitted to a joint house and senate i investigation. Senate majority I leader Alben W. Barkley said that |he would introduce a resolution : 1 calling for five members from each house, possibly as an amendment to the Norris' resolution. Among the subjects on which I the Norris resolution would require I investigation are: Whether the TVA is carrying out the act with reasonable economy and efficiency; whether the work has been handicapped by the internal fight among board members: whether any member of the board has given aid to private i ’ power companies: and whether public interests have been jeoparj dized. | House leaders, who have withheld moves for an investigation pending President Roosevelt s ac- | tion. asserted that the lower chamber would participate in whatever investigation is held. “I'll tell you this much.” said house majority leader Sam Rayburn.

TWO ARRAIGNED FOR EXTORTION Two Men Held In Extortion Plot From Murray Levine New Rochelle. N. Y.. March 24— lU.R.' Werner Fred Luch. 23-yeur-old German-born chauffeur, and Edward John Penn, ix-year-old high school student, were arraigni ed today on charges of attempting to extort money from Murray Le- ' vine, father of kidnaped Peter Levine. Both waived examination and were taken to the county jail at 1 East View to await grand jury action. They were accused of, attempting to send a note to Levine demanding the $30,000 ransom which he offered to pay for return of his 12-year-old son. missI Ing since Feb. 24. City Judge Thomas N. Fasso refused bail, asserting that their crime was "almost as atrocious and abominable as the original kidnap- ' ing.” District Attorney Walter A. Ferris said he would present the case ’ to the Westchester county grand jury at 10 a. m. tomorrow. Luck's wife. Mary, and Penn's 1 aunt. Mrs. John Davidson, were in the courtroom. Both had denied the prisoners had anything to do with the actual kidnaping. Lieut. George Keifenberger, in charge of New Rochelle detectives, said Luck and Penn were not con-1 nected with the kidnaping “so far as I know" but added that their l possession of shoulder-length black hoods, padlocks, chains and weapons. found at the time of the arrests, indicated they had "planned to kidnap someone." Police Captain Thomas V Kiernan said he believed the two had been "in some way connected with" j the kidnaping. o TAKE PROFITS TAX (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) favor of the elimination. Harrison said that IS members of the committee favored the 18 per cent rate; one voted for an 18’i per cent rate; and one for a 17 per cent rate. Harrison said that the credit system for small corporations devised by the senate committee would be of more benefit to them than the “notch" system used in the house bill. The committee chairman said that estimates given by the treasury were “cold" in that they made no provision for a pick-up in business as is anticipated by spoil sors of the tax revision o CHAMBERLAIN TELLS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) isting commitments, without referring directly to France or Czechoslovakia. “We are bound by certain treaty obligations which entail on us the necessity of fighting if occasion arises,” he explained. - The prime minister admitted that his original belief in the League of Nations as an instrument for preserving peace had been “profoundly shattered," adding that "we tried to impose on the league a task beyond its powers to fulfill." “I did not cease to believe,” he declared, “in. the possibility that the league might be so revived and strengthened as to serve as an effective instrument for the preservation of peace . . . that is not the position today.” He then expressed hope that the | league might be so reformed as to “become a most effective guarantee of peace.” "May I not hope,” Chamberlain said, “that the honorable members opposite will agree with me that . the best thing we could do for the league would be to nurse it back to heath, not only because its original aims were right, but because if only we could make it wider and strong enough to fulfill the funci tions for which it was originally designed, it may yet become the surest and most effective guarantee for the peace of the world.” Britain, he declared, would make no new military commitments towards Czechoslovakia. The prime minister emphasized j the necessity for extensive British rearmament. “If Britain is to make a substantial contribution towards es- ! tablishment of that peace which I i have described as its strongest interest," he said, “it must be strongly armed for defense and aero counter-offensive . . . “The size and strength of the forces we build up will be the measure of the contribution we make to collective action for peace, whatever form that action may take. “Until the day comes when the world establishes an international police fqrce, we must think first of the safety of this country and the safety of the people for whom wc are responsible.” “The problem for the government is how best to restore shaken confidence, maintain the rule of law in international affairs, and seek peaceful solution to questions j

Chamberlain said. “The British government has fully considered whether the United Kingdom should as a furher ' contribution toward preserving the peace of Europe, now undertake new, specific commitments in Europe. particularly Such a commitment in relation to Czechoslovakia.” • He then ruled out such commitments and said Britain's existing I commitments are primarily the defense of France and Belgium against unprovoked aggression. o “Miniature Tornado” Causes Slight Damage Newcastle.

EXTRA FAPE l

SYNOPSIS Jaxie Cameron, young Chicago columnist, travels west aboard the Big Chief, extra-fare train, in search of copy for "The Friendly Corner." • The staff photographer from her paper, the Star-Tribune, snaps her picture as she waves farewell from the observation platform. Inside Car 74X Jaxie identifies a bride and groom and notices a girl she later finds is Clarice Cole, ex-waitress bound for Hollywood. Carrie Dade, a worn young mother with two small children, arouses Jaxie’s sympathy. But the most interesting passenger on the train, at least to Miss Cameron, is Kirby Elliott, tall and gray-eyed and humorous. As night falls these two remain talking on the observation platform. Mose is busy pacifying the demanding old woman who shares Section 6 with Elliot, and explaining matters to Jake Weatherby, gaunt mid-west farmer unused to luxury trains. An unassuming little man in khaki sits reading. Finally all the passengers are settled for the night. But Kirby Elliott lies awake, in upper 6, remembers Jaxie's brown eyes, her bronze hair, her husky-sweet voice. . . . The next morning, in the women's dressingroom, Marie Bortin, the bride, and Clarice Cole, are thrilled to meet a newspaper woman whose name is a household word in Chicago. Also present are the Misses Yates and Colbin, middle-aged school teachers on a holiday. While the train stops at Kansas City, Clarice meets up with the handsome man in number 3 who has, until then, remained aloof from the others. Here, too, Jake Weatherby’s wife, “Marthy,” boards the train, bringing with her the startling news that half a million in bonds had been stolen from a Chicago bank the previous day. The thief is believed to be on a westbound train.* Part of those stolen bonds belong to Marthy and Jake I After her breakfast Jaxie invites Kirby to share the table set up in her section, while she writes her daily column. Their interest in each other grows and they chat gaily, until Jaxie reminds her companion that they both have work to do. CHAPTER XII Jaxie poised her pencil above her pad and stared out the window across the sun-flooded prairies of green-and-brown checkerboard fields. She had told Kirby Elliott that he would not disturb her work. But she wondered, now that her impulsive hospitality had brought him to sit across the table, how she could possibly concentrate on the ideas that had been crowding her mind all night and morning for expression. The editorial room, with a dozen clacking typewriters, proof men rushing in and out, Alma Staitz reading copy over her shoulder and Tommy Ackerman swinging a leg over the corner of her desk while she added an inch to her copy—all that provided a vastly different atmosphere from the stimulating intimacy of her present situation with 1 Kirby Elliott With an effort, she projected her mind back into the office, superimposing upon that familiar background the ideas that tad been registering in her brain since her departure. Her thoughts were chaos: silhouettes of the city slipping into the night—deep blue eyes with a merry twinkle—head inclined toward her lips to catch her words above the clatter and roar—friendly lights of . familiar landmarks blinking a I cheery farewell—smooth black hair with the merest suggestion of wave at the ends—such a nice firm mouth , —lips that could be vehement or tender— Jaxie roused herself guiltily as the train suddenly clattered between the steel'beams of a bridge. She t stole a glance at her companion, but his forehead was puckered slightly ‘ in a frown over a printed blank on which he was writing. So absorbed 1 in his work that he probably was . not even conscious of her presence > j now, she thought. Men were queer, certainly. One moment they could

be so disturbed by a woman as to lose all reason; the next, they were so concentrated on business as to be oblivious to everything else. Was that why men could find a place in their lives for more than one woman? Was it, always, the interest of the moment that absorbed them? Was love, for men, a garment which they put on and took off, or changed, at will; while for a woman, it became the light of her soul, dominating and sanctifying it, unshakable as faith itself? Jaxie marveled at her own thoughts. Never before had she analyzed the pros and cons of love, masculine or feminine. The truth jeered at her, but she turned resolutely away, scorning it. It lurked, however, in the back of her mind ready to spring out, while she summoned a supreme effort and began to write rapidly. For an hour, the two worked without exchanging a glance or a word, as if each were unaware of the other. But Jaxie’s eye unconsciously watched the movements of Kirby’s hands as he worked. Strong hands they were, yet the immaculate hands of a well-groomed business man. They gripped his pen with determination and wrote rapidly. She made no attempt to see what he was writing, but she wondered. He had been interested in her work, but had offered no comment concerning his own, except that he had been obliged to take this train at the last moment. In view of the impression he had made upon her, curiosity was pardonable; but she would not question him until he introduced the subject. Finally, he collected his papers and leaned back in the corner of the seat. Jaxie looked up and smiled. "How goes it?” he asked, indicating her copy. “About as usual. But it’s not so easy as I expected. I believe that the more deeply things impress one the more difficult it is to put them into words.” “I don’t dispute that. I’m just beginning to suspect how that could be. Shall we take a walk for a change, or would you rather I’d leave you alone?” “I’d like the walk, of course.’’ She stood up and straightened her scarf and dress. As Kirby followed her into the aisle, Clarice Cole looked up and held his gaze fur a long second. Queer that she had not noticed him before, thought Clarice. Had he boarded the train at Kansas City? Interesting possibilty number two, was her mental notation. Jaxie walked to the end of the passage and reached out for the door handle, but Kirby’s hand shot out and swung the heavy steel door as if it had been a screen. His hand touched hers fleetingly and Jaxie had experienced a reaction of warning, as if her hand had touched an electric contact. In a daze, she walked across the swaying, lurching platform toward the dodr of the club car. Kirby’s nearness was intoxicating as he pushed it open. Her composure had returned when they reached the platform outside. A man rose and offered Jaxie his chair, there being none vacant. Kirby stood, braced against the railing beside her, lighted their cigarettes, exhaled smoke with a deep breath of satisfaction. The breeze was exhilarating. It whipped around the corner under the awning and caught Jaxie’s chestnut-brown curls with a capricious force. But that only made her the more adorable, thought Kirby, bringing his gaze from a distant contemplation of the horizon back to her eager, upturned face. Imagine how some girls looked when the wind took liberties with their hair) But instead of playing havoc with her appearance, the breeze became a fascinating part of her—provocative, intoxicating. His consternation over being compelled to take an upper berth flashed through his mind. What a streak of luck it had proved to be. Fate just had to be generous and make a grand slam once in awhile, and how grateful he was that she had selected him to favor on this deal.* • • • Clarice was glad that, riding forward, she faced the length of the
