INDIANAPOLIS, June 3—Federal authorities attributed yesterday to Donald W. Maple, 21-year-old Tipton County farmer, authorship of two extortion notes sent to John S. Mitchell, Windfall, Ind., bank director and business man. The notes demanded $50,000, threating death or kidnaping un-

Maple, clad in overalls, a blue shirt anil a cap, came before United States Commissioner, Howard S. Young for a preliminary hearing. He denied writing the notes, but, after state-
father’s farm. He said he picked up the package to examine it as he returned. In support of their belief that Maple was the author of the notes, tile officers compared the spelling and chirography with dictation given the young man. They said that in the dictation and the notes the word "want” was spelled "wount” and ’’eement abutment” was spelled “neament hutment.” Maple's 19-year-old wife and infant son were with him when he appeared before the commissioner.

DAVIS PLEADS GUILTY AS PREMER KIDNAPER ST. PAUL, Minn., June 3—Glad, he said to “get it off his chest,” Volney Davis, known to Department of Justice agents as one of the slipperiest and toughest members of the Barker-Karpis mob, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap Edward G, Bremer for $200,000 yesterday. “It’s no use trying to beat these G guys,” said Davis after pleading before Federal Judge M. M. Joyce. He will be sentenced Friday, with life imprisonment the possible penalty. He was accused of being one of the St. Paul banker’s actual kidnapers. "They had it on me,” Davis added. "The minute they read that indictment I could see they knew as much about this kidnaping as I did” Details brought out by the government in the trial of Arthur "Doc” Barker, Davis said, had a lot to do with his decision to plead guilty. "I could see they had the straight stuff — almost exactly as it was pulled. I’m glad it's over with. I'll take the book (life imprisonment) and be done with the thing.” , Federal officials said they were convinced Davis had no connection with tb^ kidnaping of 9-yonr-old George Weyerhaeuser in Tacoma Wash.

SELECT GUFFY BILL AS BEST NRA WEDGE
WASHINGTON, June 4, (UPl _ Congresisonal liberals have selected the Guffy bituminous coal recovery bill as the most promising wedge plan to overcome the supreme court s destruction of NRA codes. The end of NRA brought a strike call to 450.000 bituminous coal miners. The Guffey bill is advanced with support of labor and many coal operators. Senator Robert F. Wagner D., N. Y., whose judicial record was excellent in his own state, is of the opinion that the court will not be able to invalidate in the Guffey bill, the labor provisions which were stricken in the Schechter NKA rase
last week.
Wagner says the Guffey bill is protected by a previous supreme court decision, the Coronado coal case, in whicli the supreme court sustained a mine owners’ injunction against strikers. The court held in that instance that the stoppage of coal mining would utilmateiy interfere with interstate commerce and, therefore, fell within federal jurisdiction. It was the Coronado case to which President Roosevelt referred last week in his extraordinary press conference discussion of the NRA decision. The court’s NRA opinion put coal mining, by inference, in the interstate classification of commerce and, therefore, protected it against federal intervention. Mr. Roosevelt remarked in effect that when the mine owners wanted coal mining to be interstate as in the Coronado case, the court so found hut if the mine workers sought to prove that point the shoe seemed to be on the other foot. With the Coronado decision to guide its course, the Guffey bill is expected to be passed by congress and signed by Mr. Roosevelt. It would create a special code for the bituminous coal industry. A hill has been introduced in house and senate to perform the same service for the construction industry. There are 22 major American Industries. It would be possible to enact special legislation for all of tnem That probably would get around the court’s objection to unlimited delegation of undefined power which was point No. 1 in outlawing NRA. The Guffey bill will be sufficient explicit Whether the court would be guide! by the NKA precedent or the NBA decision in deciding the validity llf the bill as to interstate commerce cannot be known until a case is r re ' sented for decision. There is no pm cedure whereby the court may render advisory opinions to congress or the
president.
The bill would create a nine-man commission to control the bituminou* industry. An editorial research ana
lysis of the bill explains:
"Wages, hours, and working i nn d'tions are to be fixed by collective bargaining which is guaranteed in the bill. A tax of 25 per cent of t « selling price of the coal is levi'd 1 '^ all producers, but 99 per cent of t tax is refunded to those operator* who subscribe to the code mUC along the lines of the AAA cotton r»” strictlon program. Subscriber* the code are released from the *< I
of federal anti-trust laws." The bill would provide
