KIDNAPERS FAIL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) could not he learned. Levine Lad Dead New Rochelle, N. Y., May 31 <U.R>—G-men found a striking similarity today in the kidnaping and murder of Peter Levine and that of Charles Mattson, Tacoma, Wash. 17 months ago. Evidence of sadism in the case of Peter Levine, 12. whose headless body was washed ashore Sunday night from Long Island Sound, increased this resemblance. Charles Matson, 10, was mutilated by a sadist. The fathers of both hoys were professional men of moderate means, one a surgeon, the other a lawyer. Each had difficulty raising the ransom demanded, which also was similar—s2B,ooo for the Mattson boy; $30,000 for Peter Levine. In neither case, apparently, did the kidnaper try to collect the money although it was waiting for him. Instead in each case he killed the boy fiendishly and left the body to be discovered by chance. The homes of the boys, although separated by a continent, were close to ocean ports, where a kidnaper with access to ships might have been. There was a common boldness in ■ the snatching of Charles from the ■ home of his parents Dec. 27, 1936, j while his brother, sister and playmates looked on, and the seizing of Peter from the street as he walked home from school last Feb. 24. Charles, son of Dr. W. W. [ Mattson, was found dead in a thicket near Everett, Wash., Jan. 11, 1937. o TWO DAYS TO FILE EXPENSE All Candidates Must File Campaign Expenses Thursday Only two more days remain for , candidates to file a list of campaign expenses during the recent primary.

ORGANIZATION I PLAN DROPPED To Abandon Reorganization Bill Plans For This Session Washington, May 31 (U.R) ~Newdeal congressional leaders have decided to abandon the government's reorganization Dili for this session and push on to a June II adjournment, usually informed senators said today. Adjournment continued to de-1 pend, however, on adjustments of wage-hour and lending-spending bill disputes. It is understood that opponents of the organization bill would not seriously protest an effort to vote in the senate at this session on the bill to give President Roosevelt six more $10,01)0 a year assistants. That bill, a part of the reorganization program, had passed the house. Tile house also has passed I and sent to the senate another parI tial reorganization bill which would

I establish a department of public welfare. The United Press was informed that bill might be con- | sidered dead for this session. | Formal announcement of the dei eision will probably be made tomorrow or Thursday.

EXTRA SESSION CALL PLANNED Gov. Townsend May Call Special Session For June 21 Indianapolis, May 31.—KU.R>—Gov. M. Clifford Townsend said today that ho will summon the Indiana legislature Into special session to appropriate funds for an $8,1)00,000 state building program as soon as congress enacts President Roosevelt's work relief program. A possible date for convening of the session was set us June 21. The work relief bill is pending in congress now and was expected to pass this week. Under Townsend's program, the legislature would appropriate $4,400,000 for the building program and an additional $3,600,000 would be obtained from the public works administration as a grant. The governor said that there is sufficient money in the state general fund to finance the program. Although the federal funds have not been appropriated. Townsend appeared confident that Indiana would encounter no difficulty in obtaining the grants once the work relief bill was pushed through congress. Largest unit in the building program would be a new state office building, estimated to cost about $3,000,000. It would be 15-stories high and new ground would be purchased adjacent to the present statehouse annex. The program contemplates expenditure of $2,300,000 for an addition to the Museatatuck colony for the mentally defective and $1,250,000 for additions to the four state hospitals for the mentally ill, to be divided as follows: $500,000 at the Central State hospital in Indianapolis, $400,000 at Logansport, $200,000 at Madison and $150,000 at Evansville. A new tuberculosis hospital in southern Indiana, to cost $500,000, would be constructed and another $500,000 would be spent for repairs and additions to the state fair grounds. Townsend indicated that he would attempt to limit the special session to consideration of the appropriation measure. There are no other problems o fan emergency nature facing the state now, he de--1 dared. The appropriation bill could be passed by both houses within one ' week without suspending the rules. 1 It could be enacted even more ; quickly under suspension of the ■ rules. There was considerable discuss- | ion, however, that the legislators, I once they were in session might I decide to take up other matters | before adjourning. The governor I cannot restrict the special session I to any one subject in Indiana. Some legislative leaders hinted they might attempt to amend the ! liquor control act to eliminate the j port of entry system which has been subject to numerous attacks. If the session is convened June 21, it will be only one week before , the Republican state nominating ■ cotfvention is called to order here. The Republican platform was ex- | pected to assail the Democratic I liquor control law.
