with leaders apparently hopeful of winding up the session before June 18 and perhaps by the end of next week. Reorganization has been a topic of White House discussion in the recent meetings of Congressional leaders and several weeks ago the President expressed his wish for its enactment. However, it was indicated that the leaders desired to recanvass their strength. Their report probably will be based on that survey.

Wheeler Asks Data On U. S. Gold Policy

WASHINGTON, May 31 (U. PJ). —Senator Wheeler (D. Mont.) demanded in the Senate today that | Congress be given details of the operations of the two billion dollar monetary stabilization fund created when the dollar was devalued. Wheeler combined criticism of the secrecy surrounding operations of the vast fund with support of the contention of Senator Logan (D. Ky.) that the nation's economic problems never can be solved without monetary change. Senator Logan said it was “‘as useless as trying to tack a shingle on a fog bank” to attempt recovery through appropriations such as thosg in the pending $3,247,000,000 lending spending bill, upon which the Senate resumed debate after a holiday recess.

Two Fights Loom

With Administration leaders driving for final action on the measure bv Thursday or Friday, debate was resumed under a limitation restricting speaking time to half an hour for each Senator. Major fights are scheduled on two amendments, but even their advecates admit privately that there is little chance of their adoption. One is on Administration power policy. On the motion of Senator Hale (R. Me.) the Senate Appropriations Committee wrote into the bill a provision banning the use of public works funds to help municipalities build power plants that would compete with private utilities. Senate Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky) will move to strike it out. Although a group in the Senate seeks a compromise between unhampered continuance of present

Miss Cecilia Earhart, a second cousin of the lost Amelia Earhart Putnam, was in Methodist Hospital today recovering from injuries received in a plane crash as she took off from Hoosier Airport vesterday to fly back to her home in

Toledo, O. The light monoplane in which she and Earl Adams, also of Toledo, were flying crashed in a vacant lot in the 1800 block on Goodlet Ave. They had been attending the Speedway Race with Mrs. Adams and Roy McKinstrey, both of Toledo. Mr. McKinstrey was following Miss Earhart's ship in another of the same model. The accident occurred a few minutes after the planes had taken off from Hoosier Airport. Miss Earhart, a student pilot, said she had circled the field once and was heading into the wind when the motor died.

‘Sent Me Back To Hitler —So Youth Drowns

NEW YORK, May 31 (U. P.).— A letter found in the pocket of Albert Heinz, whose body was recovered from the Hudson River, revealed today that he probably was drowned while trying to swim from a ship on which he was being deported to Germany. He had been placed aboard a liner at Miami, consigned to Germany after his arrest on an assault charge. The ship came here en route to Europe. The young seaman’s letter addressed to Lou Annice Summers, Miami, read: “Dear Honey: They are taking me away from you, from America and from all the happiness which you have given me. . . . They will send me back to Germany but I never will get there. I have not given up hope to make you happy. I will make a success in this country or die, ... If I die you will read it in the newspapers. If I am alive you will hear from me. . , . Do not tell anybody when you get mail from me. I am fighting for my life and your happiness. . ..

He explained that if a person had

a piece of property assessed at $2500 on which he owed $2000, he could get a $1000 deduction in the assessment,

If the total indebtedness on the

same property was only $800, the de-

said, however, if the property was

assessed at $1000 and the owner

owed $1000, he could get a deduction of only half that amount, he said.

A property owner having several

pieces of property, located in various counties, could get a total deduc-

said. He could not get separate deductions of $1000 each in each county. he said.

will be considered by the School Board tonight. The resolution calls for the amendment of a previous application for 45 per cent of $450,000 for construction of Howe High School in Irvington, which was built without Federal funds, Officials previously had planned to construct the classroom building with board funds exclusively. Mr. Good said he amended the application to cover the Tech building to take advantage of a prior claim. Meanwhile, the Board awaited action on an application for 45 per cent of $260,000 for the construction of an auditorium at Broad Ripple High School. Appointments of teachers for next year also will be made tonight.

FATHER MAKES KIDNAP CONTACT

Waits in Florida Home for Return of Blond Son, 5.

the body of Peter Levine was found. After hours of frantic efforts make contact with the abductors, Mr. Cash kept a secret rendezvous with them and announced at 3:45 a.m. “I have made a contact. I will receive a telephone call which will tell me where to pick up Skeegie. 1 expect to have the boy back by 12 o'clock. It's just a matter of waiting.” G-Men were active in the kidnaping, but were believed remaining in the background to permit the kidnapers to return the boy safely. Mr. Cash, a prosperous but not wealthy owner of a chain of gasoline filling stations, said that he had contacted the Kkidnapers between 3 and 3:45 (Indianapolis Time), after an earlier attempt to negotiate with them had failed, In a daring delivery of a new note at 2 a. m, the abductors said that there “were too many people around, try again at 5 o'clock.”

Note Daringly Delivered

The last note was thrown onto the rear porch of the Cash home shortly after the first attempt at a contact failed. To attract the attention of those inside the house, the messenger smashed a window. As Mr. Cash rushed to the rear of the house, he heard someone running through the underbrush. Mr. Cash's main establishment is here—a combination general store and gasoline filling station. Saturday night, Mrs. Cash put her baby to bed in the adjoining apartment house and went downstairs to help her husband count the day's receipts. When the Cashes returned, they found the child gone. A hole had been cut in a locked screen door so that a hand could be insertea to raise the hook. They were about to call police when Mr. Cash's brother, W. P. Cash, telephoned. He had found a note, printed crudely in pencil, directing him to go, if he wished information concerning his nephew, to an address in the Princeton Negro section. The Cash brothers and Mrs. Cash went to the address which was that of an empty shack. On the doorstep, they found another note. Printed in the same way on the same Kind of paper, it informed the parents that if they wished to see their baby alive they were to say nothing about the kidnaping to anyone, particularly to authorities and newspapers, and were to pay $10,- |

000 in 5, 10, 20 and 50 dollar bills. | i

On the back of the note was a| rude map of the Redland citrus district of which Princeton is a center. This map showed roads and directed Mr. Cash, when he got the ransom money ready, to take a zig-zag drive over them, signaling with his headlights at five carefully designated places. Mr. Cash owns filling stations in Miami, Princeton and Homestead. He is a native Floridan, typifies the rural businessman, and, despite the prosperity of his business enter-

290 Lives Lost in U. S. Over Holidays

By United Press The nation was more cautious in its celebration of the Memorial Day week-end this year than it was in 1937, a United Press survey of vio[lent deaths showed today. Reports from the 48 states and [the District of Columbia listed 290 deaths by violence in this year's first three-day holiday week-end. Less than half—138—occurred in traffic accidents, although motor clubs reported highway traffic heavy. The other 152 died in shootings, drowning, floods and other forms of violence, Approximately 500 persons died violently during the holiday weekend a year ago, about two-thirds of them in automobile accidents. Safety campaigns sponsored by official and civic groups and the newspapers were credited with the decrease this year, Pennsylvania reported the greatest number of violent deaths—nine traffic fatalities and 23 from miscellaneous causes—a total of 32. Illinois counted 26 dead, 14 in automobile crashes and 12 from other causes. Ohio had 23, all but three of them in traffic mishaps. The worst tragedy of the holiday occurred yesterday at Manchester, Ky. A Negro mother and eight of

{ her children were drowned when

their home was washed away by flood waters of Tobey Creek which went over its banks after a cloudburst in the Cumberland Mountains. The water swept down through the valley and carried away five homes. Authorities reported only five of the bodies were recovered. At Indianapolis, a spectator at the 500-mile Memorial Day race was killed when a wheel flew from a racing car and struck him.

maining Japanese planes fled east. They claimed that all of the Chinese fleet returned safely to the air base guarding the provisional capital. The raid was the first on Hankow since April 29 when Japanese planes suffered the worst aerial defeat of the war. Chinese military authorities said the engagements April 29 and today probably were among the largest mass aerial battles in history.

Japs Seek to Save Trapped Soldiers

SHANGHAI, May 31 (U. P).— Japanese reinforcements rushed to the Kaifeng area today to the relief of 10,000 comrades reported trapped by victorious Chinese legions between the Lunghai Railroad and the Yellow River. Chinese field guns pounded away al the Japamese, holed up in half a dozen mud-walled towns north of Langfeng, in an effort to wipe them out before the reinforcements arrived. The trapped Japanese, said to represent three divisions under Lieut, Gen. Kenji Doihara, Japan's “Lawrence of Manchuria,” had had only one outlet, through Chenliu-

kKow on the east, but even at thar point Chinese guerrillas reportedly Lad bottled them up, From Japanese reports, Gen. Doi- | hara's position was in doubt, A Japanese Army spokesman in Peiping admitted that his situation was pracarious, but here in Shang-

| hai another Japanese representative

asserted that it was “excellent” defensively and that he was withstanding all Chinese efforts to drive his troops into the river. The Japanese claimed that the Chinese were withdrawing from the Lanfeng sector because of heavy pressure from Japanese troops drivng up from the south. The Chinese denied the assertion and claimed that Chinese reinforcements were rushing from the south and east of Lanfeng to meet the Japanese moving westward from Kweiteh. The Chinese said that their lines between Kweiteh and Yanfeng were heavily fortified, adequate to meet the new Japanese threat, While the Chinese claimed further strategic successes on the Lunghai front, both north and south of the Yellow River, the Japanese asserted that the .Chinese counterattacks against their strong defensive positions were “suicidal.” A Japanese spokesman claimed that 1,500,000 Chinese troops in the sector between Kaifeng and Chengchow were in danger of being outflanked as a result of Japanese occupation of Poheng, in Anhwei Province. He said that many bodies of Chinese Central Army troops were found on the battlefields north of Lanfeng, indicating that Gen. Chiang was throwing his best available units against Gen. Doihara's forces.
