Is certain to be carried over Into I the 1940 presidential election. Lehman s statement, closely followed by the announcement of Attorney General .Jnhn J Bennett, Jr., that he would seek the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.' dropped like a bombshell into Republican. Democratic and American labor party headquarters, where' strategy for the 19.38 and 1940 cam-1 paigns already had been partly drawn. This politically important home! state of President Roosevelt will' elect two senators next fall, and it! was considered certain here that the Democratic nominees would be Lehman and Sen. Robert F. Wagner. Administration spokesmen in Washington were silent, but Lehman s move provoked great interest. The big question was what attitude the president would take.! The question assumed considerable political flavor, especially among j leaders of the right and left wing elements of the Democratic party who recently have engaged in battle over alleged "reprisals" by the administration against legislators who opposed the president's court ’ reorganization bill. Lehman is considered to have helped kill the hill by denouncing it in a letter to Wagner when the controversy was at its height. o — DEATH TOLL OF WRECK NOW 44 Additional Bodies Os Train Wreck Victims Are Recovered Miles City, Mont., June 22 —(UP) I —The death toll of the wreck of the | transcontinental Milwaukee limited | stood at 44 today and salvage crews i cvpect it to go higher when they j finish removing broken coaches from the bed ot Custer Creek, 26 miles east of here. Forty-three bodies had been re- 1 covered and the body of one man [ known to have perished was miss- 1 ing. Six of the victims were taken! from the silt-filled interior of a[ sleeping car yesterday. Two more bodies were recovered at Fallon, 25! miles down the turbulent Rangel I creek. Another was found at Glendive, 50 miles downstream, and a third, caried 108 miles, was recovered at Sidney. Officials believed there were at I least 14 more bodies in a submerg-j cd sleeper which is yet to be raised from the creek bed. A coroner's jury failed to fix] blame for the disaster, one of the worst in railroad annals. Custer creek, a raging torrent Sunday morning when the wreck occurred, ran at a depth of eight inches today. Crews constructed al dam above the submerged sleeper, which had settled in the mud, and i three large pumps sucked remaining water from the creek bottom. o ■ F. 1). K.

KIDNAP THREAT ! ON RICH LAD Son Os Former Barbara Hutton Threatened With Kidnaping London, June 22.—i(11.R) —Count- ! ess Court Haugwitz-Reventlow, the former Barbara Hutton, has taken “certain precautions” to protect | her young son from kidnaping, it was revealed today. A kidnap threat had been reported by the London Dally Mail. ! It was promptly denied by Scot- . land Yard, but W. M. Mitchell, lawyer for the heiress to the S4O,-1 000,000 5-and-lO cent store fortune,' revealed that two years and three months old Lance was being guarded carefully. “I am sure that the press will appreciate that for legal reasons it is impossible for the countess to make any statement at the present time,” Mitchell said. “If, at a later stage, she has anything to I say you may be sure the press will be informed.” Mitchell said the countess had declared that the kidnap report was greatly exaggerated. But he admitted it was true that she had taken “certain precautions.” The lawyer met newspapermen | at the gates of the imposing Haug- ] witz-Reventlow, tow-n residence Winfield House, in Regent's Park, t where the countess was entertain-

LAND PRICES STILL RISING Indiana Farm Real Estate Prices Continue Steady Increase laifayetto, Ind.. June 22.—<U.R> Indiana farm real estate prices continued u five-year uninterrupted rise during 1957. reaching 73 per cent of the pre war level on March 1, 1938, Dr. E. L. Butz, Purdue university rural economist, reported today at a meeting of rural leaders. "This represents a rise of three pointH during 1937 and a rise of 20 points from the low of 53 In March, 19395,” he said. “Although fa r m commodity 1 prices have declined seriously since last fall, there still remains i a number of moderately 'bullish' factors on the horizon of the farm ) real estate market.” i Major 'bullish' factors listed by s Dr. Butz were: ) 1. Farm cash income remains at 1 a reasonably high level and will 3 ultimately be reflected in higher real estate prices. 2. Farm credit remains available at all time low interest rates. | 3. Real estate taxes are con- ] siderably lower than several years ' ago. 4. There is Increased eompetij tion for land for investment pur- ► poses.
