A statement issued last night by the Joint Committee on Unemployment said that ministers and religious leaders over the country had been asked to organize | meetings to urge enactment of a bill (Copyright, 1932 Bill Fixing Death Penalty; Likely to Pass House Committee. By the Associated Press The gangster's fear of “whiskers,” as | he calls “Uncle Sam,” will be inten- sified by a death penalty for the kid- naper if Chairman Sumners of the House Judiciary Committee has his way Sumners forecast yesterday that the Cochran bill forbidding transportation of abduction vietims across State lines as a deral weapon against the “kid- naping racket.” had a very good chance for a favorable report from his group. He added that he would work to keep the death penalty provision in the measure. It's war,” Sumners said, of the Midwest kidnaping terrorism described before his committee in sessions partly secret, by Chicago and St. Louis police and vigilantes. The Grisly narrative had included instances of tortures of little children, third-degree methods of the most nerve- shattering sort applied to prominent business men, and taun and t rifying letters to mothers to intensify anxicty and extort large sums. $150,000 Ransoms Cited. Ransoms as high $150.000 W cited. Leading Midwest citizens were pictured as living in dread and going about in automobiles locked and ferti- fied against attack with sawed-off shot- guns and pistols ready t> A police chief told of a “kidnaping circuit” run by a kidnaping syndicate, principally bank robbers turning to human victims as easier and bigger money. “Buster” Brown of St. Louis, alleged *“brains” of a Nation-wide kidnaping system, now under arrest in New York, was mentioned. On Chairman Sumners, a Texas Democrat strongly in favor of States rights, the tale made such a profound impression that he said with regard to the proposed Federal control: “I would like to see it worked out | without increasing Federal responsibility. | But I recognize there is a very solid basis, entirely consistent with our theory | of Government, on which this claim | could rest. | “If 1 could feel sure we could work | out a Federal assistance plan, without | Joss of that fine spirit of citizenry to combat the evil—a spirit shown here by_these men of St. Louis and Chicago | ~—I would heartily favor the law.” | Shows Strong Feeling. Sumners referred to: Robert Isham Randolph, head of Chicago's “secret s5ix,”" and Sergt. Leroy Steffens, Chicago, and a St. Louis group, including Walter Weisenburger, Chamber of Commerce president; Police Chief Gerk and former Representative Cleveland A. Newton, head of the St. Louis citizens’ anti- gangster group. | Usually very calm of manner, Sumners spoke with strong feeling on the cruelties of the kidnapers. “The test of a system is whether it will work, and in the countries where | the death penalty applies to such crimes as abduction for ransom and murder, | similar to the La Follette-Costigan re- lief measure recently defeated in the Senate. ‘The statement said among those writ- ing ministers, priests and rabbis urging such actéon were Rev. John A. Ryan of Catholic University, Rabbi Stephen | S. Wise of New York, Edward L. Israel of Baltimore, Bishop Francis J. Mc- Connell and Dr. John Dewey. HOLSE WET BLOC LACKS 18 NAMES Petition to Discharge Com- mittee Considerina Repeal Gets 127 Signatures. The wet drive in the House to ob- tain 145 signatures to a petition to dis- | charge the Judiciary Committee from | further consideration of a resolution proposing repeal of the eighteenth | amendment last night had crept up to or short just 18 to force a vote S on a motion to discharge the committee. Wet leaders continued to express their confidence that they would have the | necessary 145 signatures. Admittedly, however, the drive had slowed up con- | siderably. A number of wet members | | of the House have been absent and are expected to sign up as soon as they | return, ‘The proposed vote in the House on | resubmission of the eighteenth amend- | ment is not awaited with any degree | of pleasure, however, by & number of | the members who hail from districts | which have been close or in which | either a dry or a wet minority holds | the balance of power. | The avowed purpose of the wets is ‘m turn the spotlight on these members and compel them to declare themselves wet or dry before the coming nomina- tions and elections are held. Speaker Garner may find an oppor- tunity to declare his attitude on the eighteenth amendment in connection | with this present effort to discharge the Judiciary Committee from consid- eration of the resubmission resolution. If a sufficient number of signatures is obtained to the petition, the question | will arise in the House as to whether | the committee should be discharged. | The Speaker has, of course, the right to vote on this question and to speak on it if he desires to do so. Other Speakers have left the chair to champion various causes irom the floor in the past and have voted. The late Champ Clark took the floor in opposition to President Woodrow Wil- son on the Panama Canal tolls question, | and the late Speaker Longworth at- tacked the Republican administration | when a cruiser fight was up in the House Dispatches from Texas quote Speaker | Garner as saying he would not discuss | prohibition or other subjects which are | not before the House for consideration.

By the Associated Press. ‘The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals yester- day termed the latest attack of Repre- sentative Tinkham of Massachusetts on Bishop James Cannon, jr., “bluster and bluff evidently based upon the pre- sumption that the American people are utter fools.” In its weekly Clip Sheet the board re- viewed the Tinkham-Cannon contro- versy over the churchman's anti-Smith activities in 1928 and applauded a Di trict of Columbia court for sustaining ann owing out his indictment under the Federal cor- rupt practices act. After Tinkham accused Cannon of violating the law, the Clip Sheet recalled, Cannon challenged him to waive con- gressional immunity and sued for libel The Representative recently ‘dared Bishop Cannon to proceed with his ac- tion for damages,” 5 o ges,” the Clip Sheet Immunity Plea Charged. “And yet only a short time before,” it said, “Mr. Tinkham, through his at- torneys, had appeared in court and ;L\érxxl\:ls' pleaded that the atrocious al- ations * * ' were protecte the privilege of congresional munity, and this plea was made despite the fact that Mr. Tinkham, in the most spec- tacular way, had definitely d aside hl.; ('ongr(‘sslc;nal immunity n_connection with the indi the board said the bLskmep ng;m&?; hounded with detectives, had his corre- ;px:n]den%e taken, his flles ransacked, oved ones_involve ln'?_hhlslllle endangfl'ed‘.’" R e cleric's enemies tried to discredit him with his 1928 followers, continued the clipsheet; to destrey his health, so that “he would be unable to give at- tention to public matters in the event that Mr. (John J.) Raskob's candidate, Gov. Smith, is once again nominated” and “by consequence to injure (Bishop Canpon’s) church.” his | Will Arrive in Paris March 8 to Participate in Inter- national Sessions. By Cable to The Star. i PARIS, France, February 27.—Silas H. Strawn of Chicago arrives in Paris | March 8 to participate in the thirty- seventh council meeting of the Inter- national Chamber of Commerce, of which he is vice president for the United States. The chamber has always been & quiet worker, preparing the way for agreements, smoothing out trade chan- nels. The coming meeting will give the business men an oppoctunity to do something. Reparations, war debts, foreign exchange control and import quotas will be discussed Foreign exchange control has placed | all business in politics in the eountries exercising such control. with the result that the volume of trade has decreased | in startling proportions, almost vanish- ing in some countries, such as Austria and Hungary. Report to Be Made. A council committee will render a re- port on exchange regulations. The Lausanne Conference, slated for June, will be the most important subject on the agenda, as reparations are con- sidered the factor most disturbing to trade. In discussing quotas, the Cham- ber of Commerce will have an oppor- tunity of ascertaining whether the theory still holds good that what is ‘ng\antagrmls for one is beneficial for all. Mr. Strawn will see that France and | Germany get together through an Eco- | nomic Committee to give preferential treatment to Germany on 23 items ‘whlm the United States exported to | France, as enamel ware, elecrical goods, machine tools, taps, brushes, nonfer- rous metals, flexible metal tubing, | kitchen machines, carpenter’s tools, inting equipment, precision instru- ANCHOR BAR | Smith for President,” added the board. | ford, England. summoned himself to | court for having a chimney on fire and | - ° Cites “Only Offense.” “Apparently, Bishop Cannon's only offense was that he opposed Gov.
