The Mattson family apparently has been counseled to do nothing that might antagonize the kidnaper, a gun-wielding, bearded man who may be a drug addict. Mrs. Matt- | ron refused a suggestion that she broadcast an appeal from a Portland radio station. The apparent fnactivity of officers and the unguarded Matison home were other | indications that the kidnaper was to | be given several days in which to | deal unmolested with Dr. Mattson. | Fear was expressed that unless the | pbductor purchases clothing for Charles, or keeps him indoors, the thild may suffer from exposure.

LONDON FOG FOLLOWS WINDSOR TO AUSTRIA
By United Press ENZESFELD, Austria, Dec. 29.— People of Enzesfeld complained jokingly today that the Duke of Windsor had brought British weather along with him to Austria. Normally it is clear, dry and sunny at this season. But since Christmas a fog has blanketed the countryside. The Duke himself was a victim of the fog yesterday. He reached Vienna, on his first visit there, in an hour, but it took three for the return trip and it was necessary for the police escort car to precede his instead of following it. The Duke gave to the Baroness Eugene De Rothschild, his hostess, a bunch of roses which a girl admirer insisted he accept as he left a Vienna turkish bath establishment.
400 BASKETS PASSED BY SALVATION ARMY
More than 400 dinner baskets containing food for 2050 needy persons were distributed by local Salvation Army workers before Christmas, Maj. P. L. DeBevoise, announced today. The organization also distributed toys, clothing, candy and fruit through its five community centers. Approximately 2200 boxes of candy were given inmates at Pendleton Reformatory.

FIGHTS FOR BAN ON PICKETING
Terre Haute Plans Appeal of Judge’s Decision Invalidating Law.
By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Dec. 29.— Attorneys for the city and the Terre Haute Merchants Association today mapped an appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court from a decision yesterday by Circuit Court Judge John W. Gerdink invalidating the city’s ordinance prohibiting picketing. Labor leaders interpreted the ruling as a distinct victory and planned their defense.
Convicted in City Court
The disputed ordinance Was passed by the council last July 9. It was tested when a picket, Frank Lentz, was arrested during a walk=out of clerks at Root's Department Store in a wage and labor disagree-
ment. Lentz was parading in front of the store carrying a sign on his shoulders saying the management was unfair to organized labor. City Judge Joseph P. Duffy disqualified himself in the case and named Attorney George W. Scott as special judge. Scott convicted and fined Lentz, who filed a demurrer in the Circuit Court, on which Judge Gerdik acted yesterday in holding the ordinance unconstitutional, The ordinances states: “Whoever shall watch, beset or picket the premises of another or any approach thereto for the purpose of inducing others to refrain from entering such premises, or from patronizing, transacting business with or negotiating with the owner or occupant of such premises, shall upon conviction thereof be fined in any sum not less than $50

A tank car, first believed to have contained naphtha, was pulled to a safer place by a switch engine. Later, it was reported the car contained muriatic acid. | Fire Tower Used
Twenty-eight cans of Fomit, a new record, were used by Company | 13 in an effort to smother the oil | flames. Later, the fire tower, which | hurls approximately 28 tons of | water in 10 minutes, was brought | into action to flood the basement. | It was reported that approxi= | mately 30 500-gallon tanks and | many barrels of oil were stored in | the basement. Many of them eXe | Mr. Marlowe said a new labora= tory and other equipment had been | installed recently and were not covered by insurance. The oil supply and plant were covered, he said.
Children Are Terrified
George Brunnemer, 818 S. West | st, and his family were eating dine | ner in an upstairs room when the | first explosion occurred. A son was knocked from his chair. The rest of the family fled into the street. Arthur Roberts, 50, of 810 S. West« | st, his face and hands covered with soap suds, raced from his house when he heard the explosion and | turned in an alarm. | Children of the | were terrified. «you'd be scared, too, if your | house felt like it was going to turn | over any minute,” was the way most | of the persons in the neighborhood | put it.

1 thousand people rushed to the scene, but were kept at a distance by police and firemen. | Many remained until the last piece of equipment had left. Gordon Hartley, 22, of 1639 Hoef-gen-st, injured when his car was | struck by a fire truck en route to the scene, was reported in good condition at City Hospital today. He was arrested on a charge of failure to give fire avparatus the | right of way. The accident occurred | at Morris and West-sts.
$300, to which may ot exceeds
nor more than be added imprisonment n ing six months.”
«picketing Lawful”
Judge Gerdink in his decision cite ed the Legislature's labor laws passed in 1933, which says: «peaceful picketing is lawful and
not prohibitive.” Then the court added: “Then this ordinance . . . is against posi= tive legislative law or the general law of our state. The court fur= ther feels that it was the intent of the Legislature in the passage of the acts of 1933 to give the workmen of our state an opportunity to peace= fully picket, for the act specifically provides that no injunction nor re= straining order can issue where | there is no fraud or violence. Con= | sequently, it is the decision of the | court that said ordinance is une | constitutional and void.”
