Egypt Declares Martial Law

There was no light yet

Berlin to Rome. ‘

Warfare between the British and Italians in the Near East was still on a minor scale but martial law was declared for Egypt and a general tightening of Egyptian defenses was in progress. Egypt is not yet at war with Italy

They claimed that 20 per

of balances, the City can absorb a large part of the anticipated deficit resulting from. the error. The remainder, or a large part of it, Mr. Book said, could be wiped out by delaying payment of bills several months into 1942 and paying them then through budget savings in that year. Albert Walsman, Adjustment Board chairman, minimized the probable deficit, estimating it would not exceed $350,000 because of budget balances at the end of this year. Mr. Book sought from Mayor Sullivan a pledge that the City's 1942 tax rate would not exceed the $1.26 requested for next year, but the Mayor declined to commit himself other than to promise to “continue operating economically.” “We can’t estimate conditions in 1942 this far in advance,” he explained." While agreeing not to force any cuts on the City, Adjustment Board members asked ‘officials to go over the budget with them item by item in the hope the City officials would be able to suggest some cuts which would bring the budget more in line with the prospective revenue. A start was made on Safety Board rerequests. Board Member Evans Woolen said he felt the City officials should he permitted to make the cuts themselves because they can do it “more intelligently than this board.”

world.” He called for further action to protect the American way of life ‘against any form of aggression which may endanger it.”

“With much of the world at war,” ‘TI am confident that the million members of the Legion will play their full part in keeping the war: away from our shores and in preventing it from imperiling our ireedom, our institutions, our America.”

The Edward H. Monahan Post's national champion band of Sioux City, Iowa, and the national champion drum and bugle corps of Hackensack, N. J. played "as the 1500 official delegates, and many alternates congregated in Boston arena for a joint session with auxiliary delegates. National Commander Raymond J. Kelly, in the keynote address, told the delegates theirs was an allimportant role “in crystallizing the will and opinion of our fellow citizens to the end that America may be united in a common effort for the cornmon good.” “The need is pressing,” he said in a preamble to his annual report. “The responsibility is heavy. I believe 1 not unduly pessimistic when I predict that the next 12 months are all important in determining the future not only of the American Legion, but of the American people.”

The welcoming address of Gov-

ernor Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts praised his comrade Legionnaires for their “determination to keep the heritage of liberty which the minute men and our comrades have bequeathed us.’ J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, enlisted the nation’s 1,060,000 Legionnaires as aids to his G-Men in a counter -ofensiye against Fifth Columnists. Addressing the convention, Mr. Hoover asserted: “The spy, the saboteur, and the subverter must be met and conquered. You can be of valuable assistance at this time by reporting directly to the FBI'acts which you believe inimical to the national defense. These facts can then be evaluated by trained investigators.” The Legionnaires were warned by H. W. Prentis Jr., president of the National Association of Manufacturers, that “creeping collectivism” is imperiling American freedom. The Most Rev. Francis J. Spellman, Catholic Archbishop of New York, told 30,000 persons at Esplanade services last night that the only “road to peace, the high-road to democracy,” in the “road back w Christ and his teachings.” Addressing Legionnaires at Holy Cross Cathedral, William Cardinal O’Connell, - Archbishop of Boston, called on Legionnaires to ‘speak out” and “in God’s name, banish war hysierip.”

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent HILLSBOROUGH, Cal.,, Sept. 23. —Three-year-old Marc de Tristan Jr., rescued unharmed from a Kkidnaper by two woodsmen in the Sierra foothills, romped across the. estate of his nobleman father again today, bringing to a happy ending one of the most spectacular abduc-

‘| tions since the Lindbergh case.

Faces Life Term

For his elaborately plotted "and boldly executed crime, the kidnaper got no $100,000, but he got a black eye, a gashed head, a bruised body, and he faces almost certain imprisonment for life. The lumbermen ef Eldorado County manhandled him when they found him and the child

‘lin an automobile on a dead- end

road yesterday. Muhlenbroich was blubbering when G-Men arrived at the hamlet of River Pine, 125 miles east of here, to handcuff hind and rush him to prison in a city they refused to name. Count de Tristan, who received his child in San Francisco late. last night, rolled into the gravel drive of his estate to the cheers of his neighbors, who had waited hours ior the return of the golden-haired baby. The countess, daughter of one of the West's great families, rushed down the front steps, held her sleepy baby to her breast and smothered him with kisses while photograpners’ ‘flash bulbs boomed and weary officers grinned.

‘Here He Comes,’ She Cries

As ‘the countess ran from the house, she was heard to cry: “Here he comes.” The countess seized the baby in her arms and closed her eyes. Then the count took the boy and dashed into the house, his wife at his side. Little Marc worf a blue sweater over his red and white sunsuit and someone had encased his chubby legs in a pair of men’s red Wool socks. Once inside, he was taken upsiais to his nurse, and then to the doctor who had been summoned. He was given a glass of water which he sipped slowly, and then a little sup] He wasn’t very bungry. That was because he had vow) given a good deal of fruit juice by his captor. His diet,obviously had been planned -ahead of time and consisted largely of canned fruits {and vegetables which the kidnaper had stored in his car. Then the countess held a press conference in the library. Tiny, and obviously near the breaking point, she sat on a sofa. A cigaret trembled in her hand and several times she closed her eyes whilé she sought to control her voice. “I was so afraid,” she said, “that it wasn't really Marc when they told us he had been found. I could not believe it until I saw him. | Too many things had happened since 10 a.m. yesterday for Muhlenbroich to think about toys. His automobile went over a 40-foot embankment. .

While a. score of vacationists watched, Wetzel and Wood handed the baby over to the motherly Mrs. Breitenbach and started their captive walking toward a vacant cabin. The Kkidnaper tried a break for freedom. The 220-pound Wetzel, a former football player, knocked him down with a sledge-hammer blow of his fist. Blood gushed from the kidnaper's skull.
