SAVE RICH WIDOW - FROM EXTORTION Beaumont, Tex., Police Hold| Suspect—Believe Plot Frustrated. By the Associated Press. BEAUMONT, Tex., May 20—Police believe they have frustrated the efforts of extortio! who forced negotiations with Mrs. J. W. Garth, weaithy widow, for $5000 in_gold into the personal columns of a Beaumont newspaper. A man whom police declined to name was arrested for questioning at a spot wh a suitcase, purportedly contain- ing $5,000 in $20 gold pleces, was drop- ped from a motor car, according to written directions to the widow. That followed the appearance of an inconspicuous item in & newspaper May | 14, which read: | ““Everything OX. My son will de- liver suit case. Mrs. G.” { | Mrs. Garth had received several notes | threatening harm to her home and | made no admissions. SUSPECT CONFESSES. | it o Jobless Salesman Admits Effort to| Extort $6,000. KANSAS CITY, May 20 m.—mm{ employed rug salesman, confessed h was the man who attempted to extort | $6,000 from a wealthy rug dealer by | threatening to duplicate the kidnaping and slaying of the Lindbergh baby. “If you don’t give it to me I am| going to kidnap little Hal Negbaur,” a man said in a telephone conversa- tion with a member of the family of Harold K. Negbaur, sr., “and the same thing will happen to him that happened to the Lindbergh baby.” That was Tuesday. Yesterday Og- | born, who once sold rugs to Negbaur's firm, was arrested in the country club Plaza district. Police said he appeared, according to pre-arranged plans, to collect the money. Ogborn, who was to be taken before the Jackson County prosecutor today, | told police he has a wife and daughter living in Lafayette, Ind. FLYER OUTTALKS COURT Former Abyssinian Aviator Pleads for Suspended Sentence. LOS ANGELES. May 21 (#).—A fine of $100 or 50 days in jail was imposed yesterday on Col Hubert Julian, for- mer commander in chief of the Royal Abyssinian Alr Force, but a judge who listened to his impressive appeal sus- pended the sentence. Julian, said to have destroyed the Abyssinian air force by cracking up in the solitary plane, was arrested on | a charge of disturbing the peace pre- ferred by Jack Powell, colored aviator. Powell said he and Julian formed an aviation corporation to gather funds for a flight across the Atlantic, but after two fist fights the corporation was dissolved. Detroit City Manager Named.

BY FREDEBI(}TUJAM WILE. In accordance with custom, ambes- sadors and ministers of foreign states | represented at Washington will be in- | vited as guests of honor to attend Gutl | the Republican and Democratic na- tional conventions at Chicago in June. Reserved seats on the platform, where otherwise only party dignitaries are placed, will be at the diplomatic en- voys' disposal. But if the emissaries of European, Asiatic, NOrth and South American and African countries expect to see the | ruling polisical organizations of the United States go through the motions of adopting & new and more generous policy toward “abroad,” disappoint- ment will be their lot. Soundings in competent quarters indicate that both parties will register distinctly nation- alist notes, as far as foreign affairs ?rl;: ionter;!d!.h “America First” will be eyno arply struck by Repub- licans and Democrats alike. v International Questions. ‘The international questions on which the 1932 party platforms will touch include debts (and possibly repara- tions), disarmament, tariffs, immigra- tion, the gold standard and, though nominally a domestic issue, prohibi- tion. The most ardent wet in America has not a liver interest in the liquor question than countries like France, Itely, Germany and Spain, all wine- producing nations, who crave the day when the importation of light wines will again be legal in the United States. Voices may be raised at both the Re- publican and Democratic conclaves in favor of revising, reducing or canceling the war debts. Senator Borah's may be heard on behalf of outright cancel- lation in exchange for outright cancel- lation of Gefman reparations by Eu- rope. But few other leaders in either camp believe that the parties would dream of going to the country this year on a cancellation progr: of any kind. It is possible that both parties will in- dicate their views on the debts by omitting all reference to them in their platforms. That would be notice to Europe that Uncle Sam considers them undel ble. America’s unflagging faith in disarmament is sure to be empha- sized, with possible slaps at the failure of the Geneva Conference. Court Approval Expected. American adherence to the World Court, under the safeguarding reserva- tions adopted by the Senate, is elrtud to be advocated by both the Republican and Democratic platforms. The Republicans will, it goes without saying, reaffirm their uncompromising aliegiance to the protective tariff, high and undiluted, as typified by the Haw- ley-Smoot law. The Democrats will give the foreign envoys at Chicago per- haps their one and only thrill—a proc- lamation of that party’s intention to re- vise the tariff downwards if and when it otbains full power to do so at Wash- ington. Their position will be a practi- cal reaffirmation of the program recent- ly vetoed by President Hoover. The Democrats will contend that the mounting tariff rates of nearly all the rest of the world, together with our own, constitute a primary obstacle to the return of prosperity both here and abroad. They will also renew the pro- 1 contained in their late congres- sional tariff bill, under which the Presi- dent would initiate s movement for an international economic conference “with a view to lowering excessive tariff duties and eliminating discriminatory and unfair trade practices and other economic barriers affecting interna- tional trade; preventing retallatory tariff measures and economic wars and promoting fair, equal and friendly trade md commercial relations between na- ns.” No Change on Immigration. Foreign countries suffering from the effects of overpopulation and unem- ployment, which expect any early let- down in the American immigration bars, will derive little comfort from the forthcoming American party platforms. Both the elephant and the donkey will favor maintsining the existing embargo. Despite rumblings about imminent or eventual abandonment of the gold standard by the United States, the po- litical parties are prepering to signai their loyalty to it. “Sound money,” by which since the time immemorial the American mgle have come to under- stand the gold standard, will be glori- fied as the Republic’s indispensible sheet-anchor in times like these. The party planks may be expected to decry the evils of inflation, as represented by such_projects as the Goldsborough bill, | but Europe is to learn that the politi- cal power wielders of this country are as faithful to “sound money” as to any of the country's existing institutions. The only concession in this field may be party declarations recommending the advisability of an international sil- ver conference. (Copyright, 1932.) Lodge to Attend Services.
