TEXAS TAX COLLECTOR ROBBED OF $11,000 Official at Borger, Cleared in Slaying, Says He ‘Was Bound by Bandits. By the Associated Press. BORGER, Tex, March 30.—Ar- thur Huey, Hutchinson County tax collector, reported today two men robbed him of nearly $11,000 in county funds on a lonely lane near Panhandle, Tex, after repeatedly threatening him with death. Huey, who recently was acquitted of slaying Ace Borger, founder of the picturesque oil boom town that bears his name, reported the loss to Carson County officers after freeing himself | of rope and tape bonds with which he said his captors bound him. The money was being taken to Pan- handle because there is no bank in Borger, and represented automobile | license tax collections. . Collector of Customs Quits.

L Recently | RECIPROCAL TRADE POLICY AID SOUGHT Wallace Holds Alternative More Regimentation of U. S. Life. BY THEODORE C. WALLEN. Henry A, Wallace, Secretary of Ag- riculture, told the Nation by radio last night that the New Deal's reciprocal trade experiment could not continue without a larger degree of public sup- port. The alternative, he warned, would be a turn to regimentation ot American emonomic life and activities which would make measures like the Agricultural Adjustment Administra- tion seem insignificant. ‘The division in the administration over the efficacy of reciprocal trade agreements in the face of current world conditions was reflected by Sec- retary Wallace in a bitter arraign- ment of forces retarding the progress of the policy, which was authorized by Congress in June, 1934. More Restriction Urged. This difference has left Secretary Wallace, Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, and Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce, holding the line for the toternationalist thesis of recovery against those who believe a large de- gree of self-containment is the only safe practical course under existing circumstances. Secretary Wallace said that, while it was to be expected that the tra- ditional champions of high tariff would range themselves against the reciprocal irade policy, “it has, how- ever, been something of a surprise to me to find advocates of continued, or tven more scvere, trade restriction among some impartial students whose intellectyal ~ integrity cannot be doubted.” Moley and Beard Outstanding. Prof. Raymond Moley, original head brain truster, and Prof. Charles A. Beard, economist and historian, have been outstanding in the group which prefers emphasis on domestic meas- ures. Althougih this thought seems to prevail in the administration, it is not antagonistic to the reciprocal trade policy. Rather it is indulgent of the internationalist experiment. However, it is concentrating on poli~ cies contemplating economic isolation while permitting Mr. Wallace and Mr. Hull to proceed with their negotia- tions as best they can. For the first time publicly, Mr. Wallace seemed to point to this fact in his address last night. “We can, of course, exclude all goods evcn re- motely competitive,” he said. “The trend seems to be in that direction. . . . But if we refuse to import more goods, or insist upon still further elimination of imports, we ougnt at least to be prepared to face the con- sequences.” He said it would “make permanent the retirement of from 40 to 100 million acres of crop land in an economic and social readjustment of the most far-reaching kind.” STRACHEY’S PROFIT IS SET AT $15,000 Publicity Over Deportation Ef- forts Aided Tour, Vigilance Head Says. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 30.—Harry Jung, head of the American Vigilance Asso- ciation, tonight asserted the publicity attending the Government's efforts to deport Evelyn John St. Loe Strachey had resulted only in the enrichment of the British economist and organi- zations that arranged his lectures. Jung estimated Strachey carried about $15,500 when he sailed for home last midnight. . “It is unfortunate that the De- partment of Labor did not act more quickly toward deporting Strachey,” Jung said. “The notoriety resulted in an increased sale of all his books and the magazines controlled by the Communist party.” Jung declared the Briton received $250 for each of his 55 lectures. To this $13,750 he added the $1,000 fee he claimed the author realized for his debate in New York. By the Associated Press. ‘Whether after a challenge by the Federal Gov- ernment as to his right to remawn here, could ever return to the United | States is a_matter of doubt. Labor officials said last night that if Strachey ever sought to return to America it would be up to the State Department to determine whether a visa should be granted.

KIDNAPER'S DEATH SENTENCE UPHELD Missouri Supreme Court Denies Appeal and Dates Execution. By the Associated Press. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 30. —The Nation's first death sentence for kidnaping was upheld by the Mis- souri Supreme Court today when it denied the appeal of Walter H. Mc- Gee and set May 10 as his execution day. McGee, leader of a gang which kid- naped Miss Mary McElroy for $30,000 ransom nearly two years ago, alter- nately raged and wept in his Kansas City Jail cell when told of the decision. Miss McElroy, brunette 26-year-old daughter of H. F. McElroy, city man- ager of Kansas City, said she “would rather not comment at this time,”~but her sympathy for McGee and his brother, George, serving a life term | in connection with the kidnaping, has | been expressed many times. The McGees, although they crossed a State line with their fair prisoner, were tried under Missouri statute which carries the death penalty for | kidnaping. Judge H. F. McElroy, father of the victim, also declined to comment on the court’s decision. TWO KILLED AT BORDER SOFIA, Bulgaria, March 30 (P).— Two Bulgarian peasants were killed and three were wounded today by a Bulgarian patrol on the Rumanian border near Balbunar. The peasants, who entered Rumania illegally, were returned to the border by Rumanian guards, who fired into the air to scare them. Nearby Bul- garian guards shot into the runming groups, believing them to be smug- glers. Bulgaria is demanding an inquiry into the incident. oldest established dealer.
