All old officers were re-elected to the enlarged controlling body as the annual convention closed Friday night after deliv- ering a burning criticism of 8. Olay Williams, new member of the NRA board. Approving an en- largement of the executive council by the largest roll call majority of the —_ convention, the delegates unanimously elected John L. | Green Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers and sponsor of the expansion, as one of their seven new vice presidents. Efght vice presidents and three ex- officio members comprised the old administrative body. Describing the 54th convention as one of the most important in the history of the A. F. of L., President Green closed the meeting with the observation it had transacted more business than any previous conven- tion in the last ten years. Williams Said Hostile The resolution criticizing the ap- Pointment of Williams to the NRA board charged he is “opposed to trade unions and to collective bargaining as set forth in sections 7A and B in -|the NRA.” It asks President Roose- velt to make an impartial investiga- tion of Williams’ “hostile attitude” toward labor. Although reaffirming its previous stand against company unions, the convention declined to adopt a reso- lution protesting the use of the com- pany union of the Kohler Manufac- turing company of Kohler, Wis., as an agency for collective bargaining. Pointing out a majority of the Kohler employes had voted for the .!company union, Joh Frey, secretary of the resolutions committee, said: “We cannot participate in elections, and then challenge the result unless we can show that the election was unfair.” Frank Morrison, Washington, vet- eran secretary, was re-elected with a standing room of approval. A mem- ber of the typographical union, has served as secretary of the A. P. L, for 40 years. HORSE'S TAIL WORTHLESS » Pa.

When the president left Annapolis late Friday night for a week-end outing on the yacht Sequoia, Secre- tary Morgenthau and Gov. George L. Harrison of the New York federal reserve bank went with him. This was taken as @ new indication that the president is paying close atten- tion to the monetary situation. Apparently the administration’s attitude continues to be that only future developments can make clear raise prices and values to the point Mr. Roosevelt desires.

STOLL Authorities Comb Area Near Home on Belief Body May Be Found ILL WHEN CARRIED AWAY Authorities Cooperate in Keep- ing Lines Clear for Any Contacts Louisville, Ky., Oct. 13.—(#)—Fear that Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll might have been killed by the kidnaper who stole her from her home Wednesday was indicated Saturday by a sudden rush of city and county police and federal agents to search the entire area around the 16-acre Stoll estate on the fashionable Lime Kiln Lane near here. Belief that the woman's body might be found was expressed by one po- liceman as he dashed up in the sud- den convergence of about 50 officers in striking contrast to the withdraw- al of all guards a short time before Friday's announcement that the ran- som demands had been met. Search Abandoned House Dunlap Wakefield, Louisville direc- tor of safety, who led one party, con- centrated upon a long-abandoned house a few miles southward of the Stoll home. He searched it intensive- ly from cellar to attic, poking under its partly-fallen in floors, but his only answer toa question, prompted by the policemen’s remark, as to whetber he was looking for Mrs. Stoll’s body, the $50,000 ransom or the kidnaper him- self, was: “I can’t say, except that we are overlooking no clues.” Wakefield, accompanied by Forrest A. Taylor, president of the Louisville board of aldermen, poked into an old rotting corn crib on the place and in- to the hollow stump of a dead tree. The officers were divided into four parties, some of them including about 35 ex-service men, and they combed the woods and brush southward of the Stoll estate. The kidnaper’s note found last Wednesday on the bed on the second floor of the Stoll home, a lengthy and ; carefully typed document covering several pages, was filled with ; abuse of the Stoll family. It threat- ened harm to other members of the family besides pretty Alice Speed Stoll who the man took with him after ‘striking her on the head with an iron pipe. Mrs. Stoll, according to her maid, Ann Woolet, gave up and said “Let’s go, then,” after the kidnaper had tivesiened “if Berry comes, J’ kill im.” The note, which in its original form had demanded $30,000, had been changed by the kidnaper before it was left, the original sum scratched out and the amount made to read $50,000. Young Stoll said at the time the note kept referring to C. C. Stoll, his father, and that he believed the writer was some one who knew the family. The text of the note was never made public, officials giving the impression it contained much detail as to how the ransom was to be paid. Activities Kept Secret What basis there might be for the family’s hopeful attitude was not dis- closed. If a contact had been made with the kidnaper, it had been done in strict secrecy. Considerable excitement prevailed at Harrod’s Creek, near the Stoll jestate in the early morning hours when a plane was observed twice fly- ing over the estate. Coupled with the fact that there was a small floodlight on one side of the house, just above an upstairs window, this led to specu- lation that some kind of contact was being made by the kidnaper. A check of possibilities, however, turned up the probability that it was the regu- {lar mail plane, coming in and taking off again from Bowman field, a few miles away. Consideration for the safety of Mrs. Stoll remained the primary interest of everyone working in the case Satur- day. Arrangements were carefully made to guard against any move which might cause the kidnaper to fear making contact with the family. All interviews were forbidden to members of the family and the serv- ants. At the urgent request of the Stoll family and that of Mrs. Stoll’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William 8. Speed, they have been left in complete isolation. A newsreel cameraman who got into the estate was arrested be- fore he succeeded in making pictures there. Taken immediately before County Judge Ben F. Ewing, he was released on his promise not to enter the premises again. Mrs. Stoll’s maid, Mrs. Ann Woolet, the only person except the principals who witnessed the abduction, and her husband, Fowler Woolet, caretaker of the Stoll estate, hav- living quarters there, and have been carefully kept away from interviewers. Conflicting accounts of what occurred during the hour and a half the kidnaper was sup- posed to have been in the house have been attributed to the maid.
