DETROIT ‘RADIO PRIEST’ VOICES BONUS APPEAL Nation Needs ‘Revaluing of Dollar,’ Father Coughlin Tells Committee. CALLS FOR INFLATION Gold Standard Is Attacked in Plea for Payment to Ex-Soldiers. It'/ t nilril press WASHINGTON, April 12.—Father Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit's radio priest," pleaded (or a "revaluing of the dollar” when he appeared .today before the house ways and means committee in support of legislation for cash payment of a soldiers’ bonus. Coughlin testified as advocates of the bonus renewed their drive in the face of warnings from Democratic leaders in senate and house. Estimating that 8.000,000 American workers are jobless and 8.000,000 more on part-time work, Coughlin asked for "revaluing of the dolllar." "This undoubtedly willl throw us off the gold standard, ’ he said. "But we can use the soldiers’ bonus to get down off this unjustified standard." The priest attacked the "disease of concentrated wealth," and advocated a cheaper dollar and "inflation" of currency. "The revaluation of the dollar will come eventually," he said. "Let it come legally." Indorses Patman Bill The priest strongly indorsed the Patman bill, which provides for issuance of more than $2,000,000,000 in new’ currency. “The payment of the soldiers’ bonus will be good in itself,” he added, "if it will inflate the American dollar. "This will sound like heresy to Ihe interests of vested wealth, because it will mean that bonds will not increase automatically in value.” "Gentlemen,"he cried, "w’e have given the economic system its last blood transfusion with this Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Soon w’e will have a corpse on our hands. "Remember the Jeffersonian doctrine that human rights take precedent over property rights." Represents 1,500,000 Coughlin said he represented the 1,500,000 people who had written him letters indorsing the soldiers’ bonus. "The men who attended the legion convention at Detroit and who voted against the bonus,” he said, "were the ones who had train fare. The ones who didn’t come are are ones who needed the bonus. “This bill w’ould put $2,000,000,000 into channels of trade and commerce. It would buy food and clothing. "Remember, our granaries are filled while millions are unfed; we have great stores of clothing w’hile children shiver; our boats are rustling while the nation clamors for food.” Senator Thomas (Dem., Okla.) followed Coughlin with a plea for the bonus. ■‘l will take no time to discuss conditions,” he said. "You know’ ihem as well as I do.”

See Bonus Eefeat Conferences have been held among Democratic and Republican members of congress on the subject of the bonus, and as a result high sources opposed to payment held (he view today that it eventually would be lost. It vas not explained by these sources whether they expected its defeat in congress or whether they believed it would be vetoed by the President and his veto sustained. The administration has been informed that the movement for the bonus has lost considerable in momentum. It views the bonus as a menace to balancing the budget. Meanwhile, officials are being encouraged bv the co-ordinated efforts of a number of government financial and business agencies to pull the country from the mire of depression. The President has received a number of inquiries lately about possibility of further economic conferences. He is represented as feeling. however, that the established agencies of the government are working effectively to overcome business obstacles. 0 Mob Stevens’ Defender By United rrcts GREENSBORO, N. C.. April 12. A meeting of 3,000 North Carolina World war veterans ended Monday night in an attempt to mob a speaker who sought to defend the opposition of Henry L. Stevens Jr., national commander of the American Legion, to the soldier bonus. A veteran from Warsaw, N. C., Stevens’ home town, arose to defend his fellow townsman. Several other veterans attempted to pull him from the speakers' platform. At least two pistols and a bottle were brandished in a threatening manner, police who rescued the veteran said. The identity of the speaker was unknown. He was removed to safety by police and the meeting adjourned. Speakers were interrupted during the meeting by shouts against "Andrew Mellon, the big banker,’’ and Commander Stevens’ action in opposing immediate cash payment of the adjusted service compensation certificates. A resolution approving payment of the bonus was adopted by a unanimous vote.

Next Door Neighbors in Wife Trade Still Pals By United Press POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y., April 12.—The Malcolm E. Parrotts and the G. Minard Smiths of the fashionable Ferris Lane section of Poughkeepsie have been close friends for years. The Parrotts lived at 102 Ferris lane for a long time with the Smiths at 104, next door. The four were members of the Dutchess Country Golf Club and played together in family foursomes. They decided that if Mr. Parrott only were married to Mrs. Smith and Mr. Smith were the husband of Mrs. Parrott, their happiness would be complete. Mrs. Parrott and Mrs. Smith obtained Mexican divorces from their husbands last week. Today they were on their honeymoons—separately—w’ith Mr. Smith and Mr. Parrott respectively. The ceremonies were performed at the Methodist parsonage at Sharon, Conn. Parrott is president of one of Poughkeepsie’s largest automobile agencies. Smith is sales manager of a lumber company. i They will continue to live next door to each other and their former wives.

NEW BEER BATTLE BREAKS IN HOUSE Representative O’Connor Launches Move to Force Bill On to Floor for Sale of Legalized Brew. By I. ni.ti rl Press WASHINGTON, April 12.—The battle for beer broke out afresh in the house today when Representative O’Connor (Dem., N. Y.) placed a petition on the Speaker’s desking asking for the discharge of the ways and means committee from further consideration of his bill. The O’Connor-Hull bill would legalize beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol by weight. Discharge of the committee would speed up debate in the house, O'Connor said. He made public a letter from labor’s national committee for modification of the Volstead act signed by Matthew Woll, president, asserting that "there is no other legislation which would produce such beneficial results.”

The letter, addressed to members of the house, asked each member to “affix your signature to this petition to bring about such beneficial results.’’ O'Connor said he hoped to bring the bill to a vote by May 9. The New York Democrat announced to the house that the petition was awaiting signatures and immediately a dozen congressmen moved down to the Speaker’s rostum to sign. Representative Stafford (Rep., Wis.), was the first member to affix his name to the document which may force the first house vote on legalized beer since adoption of the eighteenth amendment. He was followed closely by Representatives Boland (Dem.. Pa.), Beck (Rep., Pa.), leader of the Republican anti-prohibitionist bloc, (Dem., N. Y.), and others. There was no such wild stampede as marked the filing of the BeckLinthicum referendum petition several weeks ago. In announcing the petition, which required 145 signatures to force a record vote, O'Connor urged the house to remember that passage of the bill would mean an additional $500,000,000 in revenue from a 3 cent a pint tax.

WAR INSURANCE IN TANGLED CONDITION

BY TALCOTT POWELL Veterans’ renewable term insurance—better known as war risk insurance—originally was provided to forestall the pension evils that developed after other wars. It has been so tangled by subsequent acts of congress that the United States today has liabilities of more than $1,000,000,000 in excess of premiums received. When the original war risk insurance act was passed Oct. 6, 1917, it represented the joint efforts of a distinguished group of statesmen, social scientists, and insurance experts. William Gibbs McAdoo, Newton D. Baker and Federal Judge Julian Mack were among the most active in its preparation. Based upon state experience with workmen’s compensation, the law contained three simple provisions. They were: That the United States would insure its soldiers at peacetime rates against the hazards of war, and pay them or their families for total disability or death; that the government would support, during the war, the dependents of enlisted men by allotting them a portion of the man's army pay, and adding certain sums to what the soldier paid himself: that disabled veterans were to be rehabiliated through vocational training and rducation. Thar was all the government :

HOPES SOAR AS WHEAT CLIMBS Traders Believe Gains Hint Advent of Better Times. By United Press CHICAGO, April 12.—Zooming upward, a roaring wheat market today flashed hope to a disheartened nation that the rising prices may betoken, as.they have before, the advent of better times. Sensational gains in the price of the grain that is the bulwark of America’s agriculture were marked up in the face of continued depression in stocks. For days in the nation’s grain centers reports of drought-aided winds that covered southwestern wheat fields with inches of dust were disregarded as commodity traders watched the constant decline of security values. Finally the news of great damage was emphasized as serious by official crop surveys and with the added i incentive of the long-pressed prices, quotations shot up. •After the government’s report | after the close of markets Friday, wheat recovered a 3-cent loss Saturday and climbed about 6 cents up today. May wheat opened today at 59 V 2 cents; July (old) at 62 3 4, and September (old) at. 65.

originally proposed to do for the exsoldiers. This simple idea has become so complicated by subsequent congressional acts that the whole insurance feature oi veterans’ relief is a fantastic crazy quilt of patchwork legislation. A feature of the original insurance idea was to permit veterans who wished, to convert their wartime insurance into the ordinary forms of life insurance, at premiums below those of private insurance companies. While much of the war-time insurance was allowed to lapse, a number of thrifty veterans did con(Turn to Page 10)

Child Labor Is Menace During Depression Time Child labor was an almost forgotten social problem during the boom years. But now it has become an economic menace. In nearly every section of the country, thousands of minors under the age of eighteen are holding down jobs that could be filled by adults. In addition, there are amazing conditions under which American children still are allowed to work. From every standpoint—health, education, wages, compensation for injuries, and hours of labor —surprisingly few advances have been made since child labor first was branded as "our national disgrace.” Just what are these conditions, and what is this richest of countries going to do about them? You’ll find the answers in a series of three articles beginning Wednesday in The Times.

ANDES PEAKS RAIN RUIN ON VAST REGION Ashes, Volcanic Dust and Gas Spouted Over Area 1,000 Miles Across. ERUPTION IS SUBSIDING Terror Spread Over South Half of Continent by Choking Showers. By United Prsss BUENOS AIRES, April 12.—Volcanoes in the Andes spread a curtain of ashes, gas and volcanic dust quietly and steadily for a distance of 1,000 miles across the plunging many towns into darkness, terrifying residents endangered by gases and threatening serious loss of life, property, crops and livestock. Officials of the Red Cross at Mendoza, Argentine city near the Chilean frontier, prepared to dispatch oxygen tanks to the town of Malargue, where the air was so full of gas and dust that breathing was difficult. Town authorities reported that fiissures had appeared in the earth and that the population was fleeing. Several towns on the border appealed to the ministry of interior for help. Martin Gil, local meteorologist, predicted that volcanic activity would continue and that the ashes might emerge so hot that they would convert rain and mist into boiling water. Ashes Fall in Streets At Buenos Aires, thirty-six hours from Chile and about 800 miles from the Pacific coast airline, showers of volcanic ashes fell in the streets. Residents covered their faces with handkerchiefs, protected their clothing with umbrellas, and scurried to their homes. The ashes were carried even farther to the east, falling in Montevideo, capital of Uruguay, and presumably traveled on out over the Atlantic. The gray blanket was reported to be about sixteen inches deep at the town of Malargue. Most railway trains were delayed because the locomotive wheels could not grip the rails, covered with ash. Tons of Ashes Fall A consensus of scientists fixed 3,000 tons as the weight of ashes scattered in Buenos Aires alone. Mail airplane pilots who crossed the Andes in the fog said the ash clouds made better speed than their planes. When the clouds reached ! here, they set taxicab drivers and i motorists looking for their goggles, I pedestrians hurrying home, and truck farmers covering up their gardens. The town of Malargue, apparently in the region worst affected, is about 200 miles north of Mendoza and near the Chilean frontier. The town is about 190 miles southeast of Santiago. San Rafael is half way between Malargue and Mendoza.

Eruption Is Subsiding BY R.'A. FUSONI United Press Staff Correspondent SANTIAGO, Chile. April 12.—The heaving Andes, with half a dozen volcanic peaks that for two days spouted smoke and ashes, spreading terror over a vast area of the southern part of the continent, subsided today. The fear of resultant earthquakes, coming after the prelude of one of the most remarkable volcanic demonstrations on record, remained to keep the population of Southern Chile and western Argentina uneasy, however. The rain of ashes and cinders that spread from the Pacific to the Atlantic over a distance of 1,000 miles, covering some towns to a depth of more than a foot with the fine ashen rain, had ceased entirely in the center of the affected region and the skies were clearing. The United Press communicated today with the entire affected zone and was advised that the eruptions had ceased almost everywhere. Residents of the town of Talco, destroyed by the earthquake of December, 1928, when 400 lives were lost, said the fires in the Andes, which had glowed above the peaks in a terrifying demonstration, apparently had ceased. The fine covering of ashes, which had spread everywhere, covered the ground and buildings like drifting snow as patrols started into the mountains to determine extent of the damage. Streams of water were poured into the streets and fields here to wash away the volcanic deposits. Investigation was started to determine damage to crops and fruit, menace to future growth and to cattle if the rains do not clear the ground.

PERMIT STATE STUDENTS TO MAKE HARLAN PROBE

Anderson College Group Inspects Conditions of Kentucky Strikers. Bit Timm Speeinl ANDERSON, Ind., April 12.—The first student group permitted to remain in Harlan, Ky., strife-tom mining town, was from Anderson college, it was said here today. The group, headed by Forest C. Weir, instructor in sociology, included four students Frederick Schminke and Miss Helen Percy, both of Anderson; Miss Elsie Manthie, Kansas City, Mo., and James Matthews, Ravenna, O. Weir stated the trip to Kentucky was not a college venture, but a personal one, and the students volunteered to go. He was impressed, he said, by a situation in the mining country as a result of which every stranger is deemed a Communist until proved otherwise. Traveling by automobile, the Anderson delegation was eyed suspiciously everywhere and when the car stopped, crowds would gather about it, Weir stated. Not Propagandizing On entering the trouble zone, Weir said he made it plain to every one with whom he came in contact, that the group was not bent on propagandizing, but merely wished to obtained information from mine owners, workers and law enforcement officials. Mine owners were disposed to place some of the blame for the situation on the business depression which caused them to lose contracts, according to Weir. They also asserted, as did officials, that organization of the miners was by the National Miners’ union, which is declared to be communistic, Weir said. Typical of the clashing viewpoints, according to Weir, was the slaying nearly a year ago of a deputy sheriff at Evarts, Ky. Officials assert that three miners detached themselves from a group and slipped behind a coal car. The deputy was slain, they charge, when he walked around the car to investigate. Charge Brutal Treatment The workers, however, declare, Weir said, the shooting followed brutal treatment of an aged Negro, and that Jess Burnett, later acquitted of the murder, left the group rather than become involved in trouble. He was pursued by officers. one of whom fired upon him, and he returned the fire, resulting in the killing, it- was said. Burnet asserts he was taking a gun to a store in an effort to trade it for bread. He had been idle for a long period. He asserts, his fellowworkers say. that after receiving compensation for an injury to a foot suffered while working, he was discharged and declares that this is the practice in the Harlan region. Much bitterness exists against company-operated stores, where it has been charged repeatedly that prices higher than those elsewhere are exacted from miners, Weir stated. Brought Pay Envelope The Anderson group brought back an exhibit in the form of a pay envelope showing the miner who presented it earned $175.59 in a month, but there were deduction of $154.23, so that he received only $21.36 in money. Deductions include fees of $1 a month for school purposes: $2 for a doctor, regardless of whether medical service is obtained; 50 cents burial fee; $7.50 a month rent for a house owned by the mine operator, and $2 a month'for coal the year around. The Anderson delegation spent the week-end in the mining region, arriving home at noon Monday. ADVANCE FAIR PROJECT Board of Agriculture to Open Bids Monday on I. U. Building. E. J.

CHILD'S SLAYER ADMITS GUILT Fingerprint Traps Killer of Whiting Girl, 12. By United Pre* WHITING, Ind., April 12.—Police said today that, confronted by a fingerprint found on the bed in which Alberta Knight, 12, was strangled to death, Glenn Donald Shustrom, 23, signed a. confession that he attacked the girl and then killed her by twisting a wire around her throat. Police Chief Clay Collins said the development was unexpected, as Shustrom. an oil refiner, who lived across the street from the rooming house of Mrs. Cynthia Knight, where the girl died, had not been under suspicion. Collins said the confession was obtained after fingerprint experts found Shustrom’s fingerprints coincided with one found on the bed. The prints were made when Shustrom was questioned about a party he attended at the rooming house the night before the girl’s body was discovered. Police quoted the confession as saying Shustrom attended the party with Jack Gibson, a roomer. They had several drinks and then retired in Gibson’s room. Shustrom rose at 6 a. m., police said, and went to the girl’s room. She was slain when she recognized her attacker, police asserted. Charges of murder were prepared for filing against Shustrom today. The prisoner was taken to Hammond jail. Hourly Temperatures 6a. m 33 10 a. m 36 7 a. m 34 11 a. m 36 Ba. m 34 12 (noon).. 36 9 a. m 35 1 p. m 38

Toss $50,000 Over Cemetery Wall in Paymen t of Ransom

By United Pre* r EV) / Y ORK, April 12.—When $50,000 was tossed over a cemetery wall to ransom Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., another bizarre chapter was added to the story of the kidnaping of the world’s most famous baby. Dr. John F. Condon, the “Jafsie” of the want ad columns, played the leading role in the nocturnal climax to his three weeks’ negotiations with the kidnapers. He hurled the bundle of currency to three men who lurked behind the wall, while Colone! Lindbergh waited a block away. The transfer took place at St. ——— 1

Raymond’s cemetery in the extreme eastern section of the Bronx, on Saturday night, April 2. But leading up to this a plot rivaling a mystery story thriller was enacted. On March 10, after the announcement in the want-ad column said “money is ready. Jafsie,” Condon received a telephone call saying that his message had been seen and he would receive another call on Saturday night, two days later. On the appointed evening, a taxicab driver arrived and gave Condon an envelope. The note therein was signed by the same complicated

IN a few minutes he saw a man waving a handkerchief behind the picket fence of the cemetery. Condon approached the signaler. The two had spoken only a few words before a cemetery watchman approached. The stranger vaulted the fence and disappeared. Shortly afterward he appeared again. The two men retreated to Van Courtland park. Condon begged to be taken to the baby, but was told the child was on a boat, and that it would take six hours to reach it.

The kidnaper agreed to send some object that positively would establish that he and his associates held the baby. One day later a note came calling for $50,000 ransom, saying that eight hours after the money was paid. Colonel Lindbergh would be told where to find the baby. The terms finally were agreed upon by Colonel Lindbergh and Condon. j

JAFSIE FAILS TO RENEW CONTACT WITH KIDNAPERS Desperate Efforts Are Being: Made to Open New Avenues Leading to Restoration of Lindy’s Stolen Baby. NORFOLK TRIO STILL AT WORK Police Fear Gang* Negotiating With Virginia Men Are “Chisellers”; Higher Ransom Demand Soon Expected. BY BATES RANEY United Press Staff Corresnondent HOPEWELL, N. J., April 12.—Desperate efforts to reestablish contacts or open new avenues leading to restoration of the kidnaped Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. were made today, but vainly. The kidnapers, apparently frightened at the fact that the United States treasury was on the trail of the ransom they took from the baby’s father without restoring the child, manifestly were ‘‘lying low.”

Milked Dry By United Press CHICAGO. April 12.—Terming his death a protest against the "alimony racket,” Garfield J. Schieferstein, 50, once weathy real estate operator, committed suicide by inhaling carbon monoxide from his automobile. Schieferstein had paid $32,500 alimony to his wife in thirteen years under separate maintenance decree. "I leave this world,” he wrote in a farewell letter, "because I have been ruined by my wife and laws and courts that make the racket of alimony possible. "I am in a position w’here I can not meet my obligations, even though I live like a hermit in one of my vacant fiats with but a bed and a as my only furniture. “I had the grief and my wife had the gravy. Goodbye, world, you are too much for me.”

HURLED TO PAVEMENT WHEN AUTOS COLLIDE Mrs. Olive Morris, 31, Is Injured Seriously in Traffic Crash. Tossed to the pavement when two autos collided today at East and Walnut streets, Mrs. Olive Morris, 31, of 337 Lincoln street, was injured seriously and is in city hospital. Two other occupants of the car w'hich Mrs. Morris was driving were cut and bruised. They are Doris Bryant, 28, of Beech Grove, and Lillian Schmeiter, 33. of 1414 Bridge street.

symbol which characterized the original ransom note left in the baby’s crib. It instructed Condon to a spot near by where the would find another note under a rock. Under this stone, Condon found a message which directed him to go to 233d street and Jerome avenue, signed with the same symbol. A1 Reich, the former pugilist and aid of Condon, drove to the designated address. The car was parked in the shadow of the Woodlawn cemetery wall. Condon paced the sidewalk.

Then, several days after the time had expired for the baby’s return, Condon inserted this message in a New York newspaper: “What is wrong? Have you crossed me? Better directions, please.” The message continued to appear for several days. It was in t morning newspaper today.

Colonel Lindbergh and his associates, aided still by Dr. J. F. Condon—the “Jafsie” of t?he kidnap advertisements in New York papers sought some way of getting to the kfdnapers again, but their efforts to mid-day were unavailing. It still was insisted that the men with whom Condon dealt were the real kidnapers, and there was still a theory that one of the gang had double-crossed the others; or that the whole gang was regarding the $50,000 payment as an installment prior to making higher demands. The aged Condon, distressed at the tragic upshot of his work, was endeavoring to renew the broken threads, but in many quarters, there was doubt that this task would be easy. . Norfolk Men Hopeful While Norfolk, Va., reports still indicated that the trio of negotiators there were hopeful of a productive contact in the kidnaping, there was still no reason to believe that the party with whom they axe dealing is other than a “chiseller.” There have been a number of these, wanting payment in advance of "delivery” of the infant, and there is a strong suspicion that the Norfolk case simply is another of these instances. The Lindberghs are known to thoroughly believe that John H. Curtis and his associates are sincere, but the negotiators thus far have been unable to produce the child through their contact. The 70-year-oid Fordham university lecturer, whose "Jafsie” messages in New York newspapers are credited with establishing contact with the kidnapers, retains the confidence of Colonel Lindbergh, it was revealed today after two mysterious trips by Dr. Condon. Carries Two Suitcases Condon's secret errands were considered significant because on his first trip from his Bronx home h carried two suitcases. Either one of these, it was pointed out, would afford ample room for $50,000 in currency of S2O, $lO and $5 denominations, the same as made up the ransom money. When Condon returned after being absent about an hour and a half he did not have the suitcases. Shortly after his return he departed on a second mission, as mysterious as the first. On the first trip. Condon t*>ed a chauffeur-driven car bearing a New Jersey license, the same as carried by a machine officially connected with the Lindbergh search. On the next trip he entered a small coupe, believed to belong :o A1 Reich, a former pugilist associated w r ith Condon in his negotiations. Refuses to Give Report Condon returned from his second trip Monday night with the two suitcases. He refused to give any report on his activities. Reich explained that Condon had "been in conference in New York,” but declined to say with whom. "Has Condon been in touch with the kidnapers since Colonel Lindbergh's statement last Saturday intimating he had been doublecrossed?” Reich was asked. “I don’t know,” he answered; “but I don’t think so.” State, county and police officials still maintained every possible way to speed return of the baby, the latest move being by the acting prosecutor of Hunterdon county. This official, Johnson V. Aller, announced that the Lindbergh case would not be presented to the grand jury which meets today. This was in denial of earlier reports that the case would be submitted. Hunt Woman With Money The first excitement caused by the posting by the treasury department of the serial numbers on the ransom money occurred Monday night at Greenwich, Conn. A'woman was reported to have proffered one of the S2O bills in a bake shop on West Putnam road. When the proprietor of the shop, after comparing the serial number of the bill with a list of the currency printed ! in a newspaper, remarked it was a part of the ransom money, the cus- | tomer was said to have snatched I the bill and fled. Westchester county highways were patrolled for a large green sedan, in which the woman rode away, i Later some doubt was expressed if > the bill actually was one in the < Lindbergh ransom senes.
