Adoption of a strong set of resolu- nomic commission, and members of the secretariat, the commission’s revised agenda was officially issued.

Second—Co-ordination of production and marketing. under which will come questions of wheat and other food- stuffs, sugar and wine; raw material, coal, cotton, wool and timber, and in- dusirial and agricultural agreements or cartels. ‘Third—Measures other than customs duties and prohibitions directly or in- directly affecting international trade Under this heading come subsidies, di- rect or indirect, and also shipping sub- sidies, export bonuses, marks of origin and veterinary and psychopathological questions (concerning diseases of plants or eaused by vegetable organisms).

I also saw the car at the curb with its windows shattered by gunfire and the figure of Nash, his head lolled back over the back of the front seat of the car and very bloody.’ Vetterli, who received a alight wound as bullets tore through his clothing, said the firing sounded as though it came from four sub-machine guns, but added that he could not be certain of the number of assailants. “Just as we started to get in Caffrey’s car in front of the station, they opened up on us with sub-machine guns,” Vet- terli seid. “I don't know how many ma- chine guns were opened up on us, but there was more than one. It sounded iike four to me but I don’t know posi- tively. = ’;l I know is that they were hidden behind cars and opened up on us. They killed Nash first.

With a license number as the chief clue, the United States Bureau of In- vestigation today mobilized all available agents in search for the murderers of Special Agent Raymond J. Caffrey of the bureau and two city detectives, al- though there is no Federal law against killing & Federal officer. The astounding fact that the Kansas City killers committed no Federal offense when they mowed down two Government investigators with machine guns today recalled futile efforts of the Department of Justice in the past to obtain legislation to correct this con- dition. Government officials said it is a Federal crime to assault a Govern- ment officer, but not to kill him. Lackey Well-Known Here. Prancis J. Lackey, a special agent of the bureau, who was shot three times in the back, is well known here He is a graduate of George Washing- ton University and married Miss Caro- line West of Alexandria, Va. formerly employed at the Department of Jus- tice. Lackey attained prominence in the investigation of the death of Vir- ginia McPherson at the Park Lane Apartments several years ago. Bureau of Investigation officlals were | preparing & press statement describing the capture of Frank Nash yesterday at Hot Springs, Ark. when word came of the shooting at Kansas City. Nash was described as “one of the most no- torious fugitives from justice,” a con- federate of the Capone gangsters, Thomas Holden and Francis L. Keat- irg, who were sought widely as possible auflueu the Lindbergh kidnaping. olden and Keating were captured by Federal agents last July on a golf course at Kansas City and returned to Leavenworth penitentiary, from which - t] had escaped. is pair with Nash' were said by the Depart- ment of Justice to have been the out- side conspirators in the famous prison break at Leavenworth in December, 1931, when Warden Tom White was kidnaped and later released, seriously wounded. The trio were accused of shipping :5:““ into the prison inh a batrel of shoe grease. According to an official report made to J. Edgar Hoover, director of the United States Bureau of Investiga- tion, Nash was arrested by two Fed- eral agents in a resort at Hot Sgflnl’l. At the time Nash, who is bald, was wearing & heavy wig and had had his nose made over by plastic surgery. The agenits snatched the wig from his head ip making the arrest. Secret Arrest Sought. Knowing him to be a dangerous criminal, with powerful gang connec- tions, the Federal officer sought to keep his arrest a secret until after he had bezn lodged safely behind the bars at Leavenworth. ey feared just the sort of attack as occurred today, and had made careful arrangements to frustrate any attempt to effect release of the prisoner at Kansas City or en route, justice officials said. The underworld ‘“grapevine” tele- graph appears to have functioned per- fectly, however, with the fatal develop- ments at the railroad station. e Government officets had obtained the assistance of city police in “covering” the arrival of Nash and his captors, but the cordon of officers was helpless against the barrage of machine gun bullets, Justice authorities were advised. Most of the department’s official in- formaticn came by telephone shortly after the shooting from Reed E. Vet- terli, agent in charge of the Kanhsas City field office of the Bureau of In- vestigation. Vetterli miraculously es- caped being hit by the rain of bullets. Frank Smith. another Federal agent, who had accompanied Nash from Hot Springs, also escaped injury. U. 8. Law to Be Demanded. | 'The murder of Caffrey, one of the bureau’s crack investigators, is expected to revive agitation for a Federal law against killing of Government law of- ficers. There were demands for such a law after the murder of Special Agent Bhanahan in St. Louis by Martin Dur- kin, notorious “sheik” bandit and killer, who is now paving for his erime in At- lanta Penitentiary. Durkin was con- victed under a State law, however. Nash had been playing hide and seek from the law for many years. He had extraordinary success in evading pun- ishment or in receiving leniency, records show. | Convicted of murder in 1913, Nash | was paroled a few months atter incar- | ceration. 1In 1920 he served but a short | part of a 25-year sentence in the Okla- | homa State Penitentiary for burglary. | In 1924 he was received at Leavenworth | to serve a 25-year term for assaulting | 2 mall custodlan in a train robkery. | Nash escaped from Leavenworth Oc- tober 19, 1930, and had been hunted widely since.

NOME, Alaska, June 17.—8ince Jim- mie Mattern took off Wednesday after- noon at Khabarovsk, Siberia, to cross the North Pacific in his globe-girdling flight, no word has come from him, but Alaska airmen today said that was not unusual in flying in the Far North. They reviewed the perils of the long 2,500-mile flight, much of it over water, but they also pointed to the difficulty of communications had he made a forced landing anywhere along the Asiatic coast, in the Aleutians, or on the shores fringing the Bering Sea. With the Century of Progress re- ported by him to have been in “fine shape” before taking off, mechanical trouble was not feared. Ice forming on the wings was his greatest menace.
