EKINS I filled Pres* SlafT ( orrrspondent PEIPING. April 17.—Japanese fi.rplanes dropped five bombs near American Methodist mission property at Changli. the Changli railroad station master reported to Peiping headquarters today. Hundreds of wounded Chinese poured in here from the 250-square-mile triangle in China proper, newly occupied by Japanese and Manchoukuo troops, as Colonel Walter S. Drysdale, United States military attache, received disquieting reports that bombs had fallen within 200 yards of the Fifteenth United States infantry camp at Chinwangtao. Nelson T. Johnson, United States minister to China, today advised Frank R. Lockhart, consul-general here, that he was responsible for safeguarding Americans in the war zone. He empowered Lockhart to advise evacuation if the danger warranted. Expect Peiping Attack Chinese military authorities reported Japanese airplanes had dropped bombs within fifty miles of Peiping, Chinese troops were hastily entrenching themselves along the south bank of the Luan river, believing the Japanese were preparing to push their drive farther into China proper by attacking the ma jor cities of Peiping and Tientsin. Foreign officials expressed the greatest anxiety for foreigners within the Chinese triangle occupied by the Japanese after heavy fighting. A Chinese military communique said Japanese airplanes dropped thirty bombs at Shih Hsia, fifty miles north, and that a leader and ten workers of the Red Swastika Association (Chinese Red Cross' were killed. The Chinese claimed they had shot down a Japanese airplane in the immediate vicinity. 4,000 Chinese Slain Chinese losses in fighting along the great wall and the retreat to the Luan river were believed to have been disastrous.

Bob Carev, 28. 19.12 A. A. A. national racing champion, was injured fatally Sunday. A resident of Anderson. Ind., Carey was one of the most glamorous of present-day racing figures and his death came virtually on the o\p of his departure for Indianapolis. where he was ranked a favorite to win the 500-mile Memorial day race. The tragpdv occurred as Carey was making his qualification run for the 100-lap race which was to feature the Easter Sunday sweep- ; stakes later in the day. His car thundered into “death curve” at 100 miles an hour. There his foot throttle jammed and a steering knuckle crystallized, “freezing” the entire steering system. The careening car smashed through the 1 upper rail and plunged forty feet, turning over once uefore it landed upside down. Carey was rushed to a hospital, but died a few minutes after he arrived there. Star of the Season In the afternoon. Babe Stapp drove to a seemingly hollow victory in the race Carey was expected to wdn. Carey had been the outstanding star of the Pacific coast's racing season this winter, and Sunday's race was the lasi, event on the program. He had expected to leave later in the w?eek for Indianapolis with his family. A. A. A. racing champion of 1932, Carey w'as to have piloted car No. 1 in the Indianapolis race, the emblem of the champion. Rocketed to Fame Bob Carey made his name as one of Indiana’s greatest racing drivers of all time in one year on the “big time” circuits of the nation. Champion of 1932, Carey stormed his way to the heights with a spectacular series of daring races starting with the Indianapolis event last May 30. ' A popular dirt track driver for many years, Carey made his first appearance in the 1932 500-mile race here and drove to fourth place, with more than 100,000 fans breathlessly cheering a closing seventy-mile | spurt that dwarfed every other performance on the speedway. Drives at Terrific Speed Leading the race from the 130mile mark to the 240-mile post. Carey's car skidded into a wall and he was forced to the pits while A. A. A. officias conducted a lengthy probe to determine if his car w f as fit to proceed. When he was allowed to go ahead, he had dropped completely out of the “first ten.” The Indianapolis Speedway then received its baptism of “Carey-driving.” In ninth place at the 300-mile mark, the Anderson boy was driving at a terrific speed. At 400 miles he had made up many miles on the leaders and was in seventh place. The leaders averaging 104 rnies an hour. Carey was driving at 110. At 425 miles, he was fifth and at 450 he was fourth. The race ended with Carey in that position, only six minutes behind the winner, Fred Frame. Neck Broken in Crash A lover of speed all his life, 28-year-old Bob Carey creened into a telegraph pole twelve years ago at Anderson. The crash broke both his legs, but he determined to be a race driver and two years later made his racing debut. He won many events and in 1928 missed death by inches at the Winchester. Ind., race track. His neck was broken in a crash, but he drove several races without knowing of his injury and later was forced to wear a brace for several months. He worked his way to the Pacific : coast championship and last year I came to Indianapolis, an "unI known.” to vie for the highest hon- ! ors. After the race here, he drove with such success that, despite his loss here, he won the A. A. A. championship with points to spare.

RUTH JUDD MAY GO ON STAND Tried to Kill Her Mother, Says Parent as Hearing Is Resumed. By f tiited rrrss FLORENCE, Ariz., April 17. Winnie Ruth Judd, under sentence to hang Friday for the murder of Agnes Ann Leroi. recently tried to kill her mother, Mrs. Carrie McKinnell. the latter testified today at a sanity hearing through which Mrs. Judd's attorneys hope to save her from the gallows. “I haven’t visted my daughter for three weeks,” said Mrs. McKinnel, who is white haired and careworn. “Not since the night she tried to kill herself and me. I couldn't hold her and I had to call matrons and guards to help me.” Court resumed today with a tilt between state and defense attorneys over whether two state psychiatrists, Dr. Paul Bowers and Dr. Joseph Catton, would be permitted to question Mrs. Judd privately. The court ruled for the state and Mrs. Judd laughed and clapped her hands. Anger flashed across her face when a matron grabbed them She has exhibited intense hate for the alienists who testified for the state at her original trial. Mrs. Judd's counsel said it was probable he would place Mrs. Judd on the witness stand. Mrs. Judd frequently pushed back her blond hair. When she wasn’t doing this, or clapping her hands, she wound her handkerchief around her left hand, a habit defense alienists claim is a symptom of insanity.

SOVIET SABOTAGE TRIAL IS NEAR END Mercy for Britons Advised in Prosecution Plea. By I nited Press MOSCOW, April 17.—Death for six Russian prisoners but mercy for the Englishmen was suggested by Prosecutor Andrew Vishinsky today as Moscow's famous sabotage trial neared its end. Vishinsky, although he made no specific recommendations for punishment in his final argument, exonerated one of the six Englishmen, A. W. Gregory. “All of these men are guilty except A. W.

lAKE FACTOR NEGOTIATING TO FREE SON 19-Year-Old Northwestern University Youth Held for $50,000 Ransom. BARBER S&T TO PAY But He Can’t Raise Full Sum, Asserts Man Who Made Millions. BY ROBERT T. LOUGH RAN Unilrd Pres* Staff Corrfspondrnt (CoDvrißht, 1933. by United Press) CHICAGO. April 17.—A pitiful plea for the return of his kidnaped son was dispatched to the Chicago underworld today by John (Jake the Barber) Factor. Torn by anguish and fear for the safety of 19-year-old Jerome Factor, Northwestern university student, the man who reputedly made millions in stock and land deals here and abroad, announced today that: “I'll pay any reasonable fee if they will only ask something I can raise. I have no $50,000.” The original note from the kidnapers demanded $50,000, and there were subsequent reports that he received a second note demanding even more money. This, however. Factor told the United Press today, he never received. Picture of Desperation Factor, whose meteoric rise from a bootblack to a dapper financial wizard left its imprint on three continents, was a picture of desperation in his luxurious Morrison hotel suite today. He confirmed a United Press story that he was negotiating with the kidnapers when he said, “I am doing certain things today which can't be made known yet. If they were published now they might end disastrously.” “So far we have been unable to establish a go-between,” said Factor, “but my friends aie working on that and we believe we will be successful.” He said he would call on the police only as a last resort if his own negotiations fail. Factor admitted that he had securities enough to make him moderately Well’ off. These, he said he was unable to convert into cash at the moment. Doesn't Know Kidnapers Asked whether he had any idea who held his son, Factor replied: “No. I feel sure that the Capone gang had nothing to do with it. but I have no definite ideas who it was.” While Factor directed negotiations from the downtown hotel, his first wife, Mrs. Leonard Marcus, Jerome’s mother, was in a critical condition in the north side apartment in front of which the boy was kidnaped last Wednesday night by four men in an automobile. Three doctors, in attendance, said Mrs. Marcus had suffered a complete breakdown. Faced Supreme Court Hearing Factor reputedly had made millions in British and South African dealings, and was to have started in Washington today a fight to escape extradition to England, where he is wanted to face conspiracy charges. A ransoth demanded, carefully penned on manila paper, was received by yejung Factor’s mother at her north side home Friday. News of the abduction was disclosed the next day. The ransom demand read: “Mr. Jacob Factor: If you want your son Jerome home, you will do as you are told. Get $50,000 in old money and small denominations. Have it ready on short notice. Do not notify police or we will send him home in pieces. Be sure to follow instructions on a minute's notice. Do you want your son or your money?” Shortly after reception of the note, Jerome was permitted to call his father. He pleaded that the ransom be paid. Motive Not Clear A motive for the kidnaping was not definitely clear. Although there was ample reason to believe that the kidnapers seized Jerome because of his father's wealth, it was recalled that years ago Factor obtained a $50,000 "stake” from Jack (Legs) Diamond. It was on this money that Factor started his London operations, buying a conservative financial paper which he converted into a confidential stock advice paper. Diamond was shot down by gangsters before the money was repaid. Factor said he was in Washington last week preparing for the supreme court hearing. Hotel attaches said he was there throughout the entire week.

Nazis Torture Prisoners, Charge of Czech Author Captives Slugged. Tongues Twisted Out of Place by Guards, Noted Writer, Given Liberty, Says. Here is one of the first actual prisoner's accounts of the Nazi furore sweeping Germany by a responsible journalist who himself was swept into ihc net. Egon Irwin Kisch, Czech writer, was one of the Berlin intellectuals rounded up by the Nazis and taken to prison. He talked with the bruised and beaten men who filled the prison. He saw. He listened. Since K.iseh is not a German, when he was released and reached Prague, his home, he felt no restraint in telling his story. Here is what an imprisoned journalist saw and heard when he fell into the Nazi net, as told in an exclusive interview with an NEA Service correspondent. By XEA Service PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, April 17.—An appalling story of brutality by Nazis in the Hitler terror drive in Germany was bared here today by Egon Erwin Kisch. internationally known Czech writer, freed from a German prison in Spandau. Kisch. one of the victims of the Nazi roundup of intellectuals, just had returned to his home here.

Kisch denies absolutely the statement of Herr Herman Goering, Prussian police chief and Nazi leader. to the assembled foreign press correspondents in Berlin that the outrages against Jews, Socialists, and other opponents of the Hitler movement, were sporadic outbursts of isolated bodies of young Nazi enthusiasts, in which, according to Goering, the responsible members of the government had no part. Not being a German and hence having no fear of being barred from Germany, Kisch was one of few refugees willing to discuss their experie”"~s. “When I was arrested in Berlin,” says Kisch, “I was taken to police headquarters and held in a room to which had been brought sixty-two prisoners from Nazi barracks. “Many of these men told me they had been prisoners in the storm troop barracks for five days, where they had been tortured. “I saw men with broken noses, their arms, legs and backs covered with wounds and bruises. Most terrible. however, were those whose tongues had been injured. There were several of these. “In some way their captors had pulled or otherwise so hurt their tongues that they were bruised and so swollen that the victims were unable to speak. “We were held for hours in a very large room. One of the men under arrest was Lehmann Russbilt. a prominent member of the League of Human Rights in Germany. “A door opened and Admiral Lewetzow. the police president, stalked into the room.

Key Witness in Jackson Case Tries to End Life

Tormented by fears of retribution, Milo Stockberger, 38. of 511 North New Jersey street, state’s key witness in the Lafayette A. Jackson murder case, unsuccessfully attempted suicide by gas Sunday. “They're going to get me—that’s all I can think of,” Stockberger told Radio Patrolmen Charles Doty and Henry O'Hara after the police emergency crew and a fire department rescue squad revived him. Stockberger refused to say who he meant by “they.” Officers assumed he referred to friends of Charles Vernon Witt and Louis T. Hamilton, both of whom are sentenced to death for first degree murder of Jackson, head of the Standard Grocery Company, in a holdup of the company's store at 425 East Washington street, May 27, 1931. Stockberger was a roomer at the home of Mrs. Ruth Fishback at the North New Jersey street address, and was found by Mrs. Fishback when she returned home from church. He had taken ten amytal tablets and turned on two jets of the gas stove in the kitchen. Mrs. Fishback told police she called to Stockberger, before going

LIFE INSURANCE DRIVE OPENED Financial Independence Week Breakfast Begins Campaign Here. Indianapolis today was on the way to becoming "insurance conscious,” as a host of life insurance agents, each armed with a prospect list, formally opened Financial Independence week. Eight hundred life insurance company representatives attended a breakfast at 7 today in the Columbia Club, marking the start of the six-day drive to acquaint the public with benefits obtainable from ife insurance. E. A. Crane, president of Indianapolis Association of Life Underwriters and campaign general chairman, pi'esided at the breakfast. Speakers included Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, Harry E. McClain, new state insurance commissioner, and Louis F. Borinstein, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce president. “What we need today is confidence in the future, and energy,” Sullivan told the group. "Life insurance has been tested severely in the last three and one-half years, and it has saved the day for many homes throughout the United States. “We all are working to the same end—to sell something, to stop the gambling craze and the desire to get a, million dollars for nothing, and to get three square meals a day for our families.” The mayor spoke of the modernization campaign sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and urged the insurance men to assist in it, (Turn to Page Twelve) SCOTTSBORO ATTACK TRIALS POSTPONED Cases of Remaining Negroes Delayed Indefinitely by Judge. By i nited Press DECATUR. Ala., April 17.—Trial of the remaining Negroes in the Scottsboro assault case was postponed indefinitely today by Judge James E. Horton.

Judge Horton announced the postponement shortly after formally sentencing Patterson to be put to death June 16.

to church, asking him if he wanted to get up. He replied no, she said, so she left as did other roomers. Stockberger left a letter addressed to Ruby Wilson, another roomer at the house, but she refused to let police read it or tell its contents. A surprise state witness in the trial of Witt, Stockberger exploded a defense alibi at the Jackson trial at Lebanon in 1932, testifying that Witt and Hamilton came to the North New Jersey street address after the slaying. The defense had sought to show Witt and Hamilton were in lola, Kan., the day Jackson was slain. Stockberger's information to police led to the arrest of Witt, who was wounded, and Hamilton was arrested w’hen he returned here presumably to "get even” with Stockberger for giving information to police. Twice married, Stockberger is a defendant in a divorce action pending in superior court. It was brought out at the Jackson trial that Stockberger s first wufe, Naomi, later was married to Witt. Detectives intend to question Stockberger when he recovers sufficiently to talk coherently, on the identity of the persons he intimated have threatened him.

ing- of the world.” Aboard the liner, Herriot found awaiting him a cheering message from President Roosevelt, and he dispatched immediately a hearty reply. Then he held an impromptu reception in his luxurious suite for forty members of the French chamber of deputies who had journeyed from Paris to bid him farewell, and for thousands of Le Havre townspeople who offered tneir good wishes. Will Meet MacDonald As the lie de France sailed Ifc was learned that Herriot had arranged to meet Premier MacDonald in Washington April 25, but to avoid the appearance of threepower conferences, which President Roosevelt desires to avoid, Herriot did not plan to see MacDonald and the American President together. Herriot occupied a suite yielded to him by Walter E. Edge, former American ambassador to Paris, and Mrs. Edge, who were returning home aboard the lie de France. A distinguished delegation of French journalists accompanied the Herriot party. Herriot considers himself on this journey as the messenger of France’s readiness for full and whole-hearted co-operation with President Roosevelt in revitalizing the world economic pattern, the United Press learned in obtaining the first authoritative outline of the French position. Adjust Tariffs France will adjust her tariffs in accordance with the adjustments of other nations. She will encourage any move toward a universal return to the gold standard. She will reiterate her desire for disarmament, provided there are guarantees of security. But on the question of war debts, she will remain adamant, insisting there must be drastic revision of the international debt structure. Herriot told the United Press that the world's three leading democracies—France. Great Britain and the United States—should unite “to study these grave economic and political questions.” Herriot has been authorized to give France's position on the five major causes cited ov economists for the world-wide depression. He will tell Mr. Roosevelt these things: War Debts—France wants a general rewriting of the American and British debt claims in consideration of her sacrifices at Lausanne on German reparations. Monetary policy—France will encourage American initiative in seeking to bring Great Britain and other countries back to the gold standard. Tariffs—France is willing to enter into bilateral tariff adjustment agreements, either an agreement affecting her entire tariff policy n one sweeping gesture, or a series of agreements on individual items of exports and imports. Disarmament—Herriot will explain fully the French plan already presented at Geneva which France thinks is the most practical solution. It calls for progressive disarmament regulated by a schedule of security guarantee. European peace—Herriot will discuss the French “peace club” plan based both on the Mussolini and MacDonald plans, but declaring that any tinkering with present boundary treaties or the present setup of territory would be dangerous to peace. France will support Mr. Roosevelt's desire for an early convening of the world economic conference. Herriot will have nothing to say about France’s debt payments, because Premier Edouard Daladier made it clear that the government woud take no action on the payment question until his return. MacDonald Maps Plan H'j i iiited Praia BOARD S. S BERENGARIA, AT SEA, April 17.—Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald met in his cabin today with the experts accompanying him to Washington, and started mapping a program for his talks with President Roosevelt.
