Roche was aided by Lynch, who volunteered to make every effort to identify his former captors and prose: cute them when they were captured. volunteering to depart from the usual custom of remaining silent after be- ing kidnaped was a signal that power- ful gambling groups were organizing to fight to the finish professional kid- nap gangs which have located in Chi- cago to prey on wealthy gamblers. The Herald and Examiner said that Roche was seeking Leon Mongoven, tor years an associate of “Bugs” Moran and generally believed to have died a gangsters’ death 18 months ago, as a leader of the kidnap gang. Mongoven, the Herald said, was seen by highway police near Kankakee, Ill, a few hours before the kidnapers released Lynch. By North Dakota Man St. Paul, Aug. 28.—(P)—C. C. Tal- © bott, North Dakota Farmers Union president, said here Friday Henry » Ford is “robbing” farmers, his best customers, of a market by proposing that his employes raise their food- stuffs. “If Ford thinks he is helping solve the present economic problem by rob- ’ bing the farmers of one of their markets he is badly mistaken”, said the Jamestown resident. “Farmers feel Ford is directly at- tacking them and deeply resent it. How are they going to continue to buy cars if backyard gardeners de- prive them of their only source of income?” He said he believed curtailing farm income would affect the economic situation more than could be offset by the benefit his workers would receive.

LOAN IS IMMINENT New York, Aug. 28.—(P)—Negotia- tions for a Franco-American credit to Great Britain were described Fri- day as having made substantial pro- gress. Estimates of the amount by financial writers ranged from $200,- 000,000 to a possible maximum of $500,000,000. Information came from J. P. Mor- gan and company that discussions had been held both here and in Paris, and that French and American bank- ing interests would participate equal- ly in a credit to the new national emergency government. Presumptions of experts were that the credit would be used by the Bank of England to protect sterling ex- change if necessary, but the possi- bility was recognized that in view of recent improvement in sterling the British government might decide it needed no credit. The credit would be for one year. British treasury bills in proportion to amounts borrowed would be issued to bankers participating in the credit. These bills having 60 or 90 days to run, could be sold at a discount, similar to the treasury bills used in the United States financing. As the bills mature new bills could be issued, keeping the credit revolving. ing to Rev. C. Roemmich, pastor, who also has charge of churches at Zap id Beulah. Air Derby Leaders
