CAPITAL SPIKES INFLATION TALK Liberty Loan Refinancing, White House Denials Offset Rumor. By United Press WASHINGTON. Otc. 13.—New assurances of a conservative financial and monetary program came from the Roosevelt administration today as an answer to revived rumors of impending currency inflation. The bold stroke of Henry Morgenthau Jr., secretary of the treasury, in calling for redemption on April 15 next of $1,870,000,000 of fourth Liberty loan 4‘i per cent bonds as an initial step to replace them with lower interest-bearing securities, went far to spike the reports. The White House indicated simultaneously that no immediate change was contemplated in the gold content of the dollar, and that no immediate new monetary moves were contemplated. The new steps toward refunding of high interest-bearing securities was interpreted in many quarters as a “sound" money step by the administration, as such a move admittedly could not be accomplished in the face of currency inflation threats. Under the latest refunding program. the treasury has called for redemption April 15 next in cash $1,870,000,000 of the current outstanding $3,148,000,000 in fourth Liberty loan 4' i per cent bonds. Prior to April 15 one or more new security issues bearing a lower rate of interest will be offered to the holders of the called bonds, so that the called bonds will not have to be met with cash. Two previous refunding operations of portions of the huge fourth Liberty loan issue were used by the treasury officials as precedents for the current attempt. It was estimated that $33,000,000 annually in interest rharges was saved in the two previous conversions and savings of at least $15,000,000 were contemplated for the current conversion.

LABOR LEADER | FLAYS RECORD OF Lit ARTHUR Senator an Opportunist, Anderson Unions Told by MacPherson. MINTON IS APPROVED — Democrat Will Stand by Roosevelt, He Says; Lauds President. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer ANDERSON, Oct. : Arthur R. Robinson’s love for labor is about as sincere as that of a bridegroom at a shotgun wedding, Clarence T. MacPherson, Anderson, vice-president of the Indiana Federation of Laobr, asserted here last night. Speaking at a joint labor meeting in Central Labor Union hall here, Mr. MacPherson’s address virtually was an indorsement by Indiana labor of Sherman Minton, Democratic nominee for the United States senate. Mr. MacPherson spoke on “Senator Robinson vs. Labor,” and like that great Democratic leader, A1 Smith, Mr. MacPherson “looked at the record.” Frequent bursts of applause greeted references to President Franklin D. Roosevelt as ‘‘the greatest friend labor ever had” and the description of Mr. Minton as “one who will stand squarely and sincerely behind the President.” Roosevelt Record Lauded “As vice-president of the Indiana Federation of Labor, duly elected and qualified to speak for my constituents,” Mr. MacPherson said, “I rise to protest against the indorsement of any labor record other than that which has been written so fairly and squarely by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the men who support his policies. "Most particularly,” the labor leader continued, “I do not want it i to be written beside my name that I am a member of organized labor who is so ungrateful as to cast a vote for a man who has stood bitterly against the President’s great recovery program. “I refer to Senator Arthur R. Robinson.” Mr. MacPherson then traced the benefits of the recovery program to organized labor, a program that put 5,000,000 people to work, abolished child labor, shortened hours and generally improved the workers’ conditions. Recalls Robinson Record "We have seen minimum wage rules formed into codes,” he asserted. "We have seen the purchasing power of American workmen increased more than $400,000,000. We have seen countless families whose small homes have been saved by federal refinancing and whose children have been spared from starvation thanks to emergency food distribution.” \ Mr. MacPherson literally took apart Senator Robinson’s labor record in the last session of congress. "I ask you,” he challenged, “when in the nine years history of Senator Robinson's service in the (Turn to Page Three) N E WENgTaNDL AS H E D BY SEVERE BLIZZARD Parts of Maine Knee-Deep in Snow; Potato Yield Threatened.

FLOYD ELUDES ROADPATROLS Pretty Boy Believed Nearing Old Hideout; Pal May Be Injured. By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 13. Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd was still a step ahead of the law today. His favorite tactics of doubling in his tracks apparently had enabled him to elude roving highway patrols in central Missouri and he was believed nearer his goal—the Cookson hills of Oklahoma. Either Adam Richetti or an unidentified man, companions of the notorious bank robber and killer, was believed wounded. C. F. Blanchard, a salesman, told officers Floyd forced him to push his stalled automobile near Mexico, Mo., yesterday, and that one of two men in the rear seat groaned constantly. Later in the day, Floyd secured towels, soap and water at a farmhouse near Moberly, Mo., to “treat a friend of mine who hurt his hand.’’ He has not been seen since. Officers believed they had wounded one of the trio in a gun battle near Mclntire, la., Thursday when Floyd was sighted for the first time in several months. Later the same day he was seen at Leroy, la., and again at Princeton. Mo. He drove successfully through a cordon of state highway patrols and county officers in northern Missouri before he was seen by Mr. Blanchard. An airplane was employed in Missouri as police of tha southwest and middle west maintained watch over highways. Oklahoma officers were guarding all approaches to the Cookson hills. lowa officers patrolled the Missouri-lowa line. Other states to the south of Missouri watched their lines throughout the night. Floyd and Richetti have been identified by the government as two of the three men who killed four officers and a federal prisoner in the Union Station massacre here on June 17. 1933.

MYSTERY PLANE VISIT BELIEVED KIDNAP CONTACT Aircraft Swoops Over Stoll Estate While Telephones Are Disconnected; $50,000 Ransom Paid, Is Belief. FORMER EMPLOYE IS NEW SUSPECT! Discharged Worker for Oil Firm Hunted by; Police; Frantic Family Anxious to Rescue Victim. By Times Special LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 13. — Fifty armed men under the personal direction of Dunlap Wakefield. Louisville safety director, today began a thorough search of the heavilywooded country around the home of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll. The fifty were members of the Louisville and Jefferson county police departments and of the American Legion. It was believed the search was prompted by fear that Mrs. Stoll might be dead and that her body might be in the woods. BY HAROLD LA POET Timrs Staff Writer LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 13.—A discharged employe of the Stoll Refiining Company is under suspicion as the brutal kidnaper of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, 26-year-old Louisville society woman, The Indianapolis Times learned today. This man, of Germanic extraction, was discharged recently by Berry V. Stoll, millionaire husband of the missing woman, or one of his assistants, and now is living in a small town near the Ohio border. He is said to have made threats at the time of his discharge.

These came to light when investigators began to work on a “tip” that Berry Stoll had the reputation among some of being a harsh employer. Meanwhile, after two days and three nights of abysmal silence, it appeared that the kidnaper might either have contacted or attempted to contact the family directly last night. This belief sprang from the mysterious actions of an airplane flying over the Stoll home shortly before 3 this morning and from the fact that all telephones in the Harrod's Crck exchange, which serve the luxurious Stoll home, were disconnected for outgoing calls for the approximately 10-minute period in which the plane was in evidence. The plane droned in circles over the sixten-acre estate, near the Ohio river, and then roared away to the southeast without any visible signal. Members of the Stoll household refused to answer their telephone after the plane’s visit and telephone company officials would not admit any connection betwen the “trouble” at the Harrod's Creek exchange and the plane’s visit. Frantic Appeal Made Yesterday and last night, there had been fearful silence, following a frantic appeal for the keeping of pledges made. Two days had passed since Mrs. Stoll was carried, pajama-clad, from her home in Louisville's fashionable Upper River road colony. Members of the family disavowed all connection with any search which might be under way for the kidnaper, putting the safety of Mrs. Stoll above all else. For a whole day, federal and local investigators were silent, officially “off” the case to allow freedom for the family's contact efforts. They came and went, however, appraising clews filtering in from all over the middle west. From Charleston, W. Va., came word of the arrest of a suspect, Walter Childress, in whose Kentuckylicensed car strands of blond hair were found. “Nothing New,” Is Report After their apparently futile day, Harold Nathan, tired, weary chief of the department of justice investigators on the scene, met newspaper men to report the “progress” of the day. “Let’s make it as brief as possible.” he said. “There isn’t anything new. This ease is just as much a mystery as it was yesterday, if ft was a mystery yesterday. We have no word indicating whether Mrs. Stoll is dead or alive and we know nothing of any negotiations of the alleged kidnapers with the family.” Mr. Nathan parried questions of newspaper men and revealed little that was new, but did make it clear that whatever activities his men were undertaking were entirely independent of family assistance and control. He emphasized, in this connection, that the federal investigators would do nothing which would hamper efforts of the family to contact the kidnaper. Finger prints taken from the telephone box tom from the wall of the Stoll home by the kidnaper had been sent to Washington, but no valuable information concerning them had been received here, he said. War department Beruilon records *

were being examined to determine whether the prints matched those of war time soldiers who served with the missing woman’s husband at Ft. Benjamin Harrison near Indianapolis. Distinct finger prints also were reported to have been found on the piece of paper-wrapped gas pipe with which the kidnaper twice slugged Mrs. Stoll before dragging her from the house. As the kidnaped woman’s family sat crouched beside silent telephones, police authorities were thought to lean toward the conclusion that the abduction of Mrs. Stoll may not have been a ransom kidnaping, but a crime of revenge. In addition to the chance that it was the work of a former Stoll employe, there is the fact that William S. Speed, wealthy father of Mrs. Stoll, was a director of the defunct ational Bank of Kentucky, one of the first important banking houses in the country to collapse in the Hoover panic. A receiver's suit pends against bank directors, in which Mr. Speed’s counsel is Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war. Communications Kept Open Leading citizens of Louisville declare Mr. Speed was blameless in the bank failure but suggest that a depositor, deranged by losses incurred in the closure, maw have sought to wreak vengeance upon the Kentucky caiptalist and philanthropist by this attack upon his family. There also was support for a theory that Mrs. Stoll may have been the victim of an abnormal person when a person close to the family declared the kidnaper’s last words before dragging the semi-conscious Mrs. Stoll from her home were: “I'm going to take you to a field.” While Mr. Nathan last night declared We had no knowledge of the existence of a reported ransom note, said to demand $50,000 for the safe return of Mrs. Stoll, her family waited and hoped for word that would mean that she stil lived and would come home to them. All channels of communication were kept open for contact. Radio broarcasts throughout the night repeated this statement. Issued yesterday afternoon: Fear for Victim's Life “We have carefully followed instructions, met all ransome requirements and are awaiting fulfillment of promises. The parties may act freely without fear or rstraint,” said Berry V. Stoll. This was interpreted locally mean the ransom had been delivered either to the kidnaper or to an intermediary, probably the latter. And. in the background, was the haunting, persistent dread that Mrs. Stoll might be dead from the blows inflicted by her kidnaper and, perhaps, from further mitreatment.
