Here is some comment, pro and con, on President Roosevelt's declara- tion calling on the country to decide whether the Federal Government or the 48 States should have jurisdic- tion over what he regards as social and economi¢ problems of national STIR UP LEADERS scope: Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, | commenting on hints that a constitu- | tional revision might be sought, said Congress now has “ample authority to do all the things we ought to do.” Josephus Daniels, Ambassador to Mexico—"I believe we ought to have a constitutional convention to ex- | amine that instrument, reform it to | meet the conditions of 1935.” Senator Dickinson, Republican, of | Jowa—"The New Deal should follow the Constitution and not the Consti- tution the New Deal Secretary Wallace—"It is a question whether the Federal Government can use its powers to correct grave social and economic injustices.” Senator Fletcher, Democrat. of Flor- fda—"There has been enough tam- pering with the Constitution.” Voter Held Secondary. | Representative Boland, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, expressing doubt as to ! the power of the Supreme Court to void acts of Congress, said the Consti- tution’s framers intended to make the | voter supreme. “But the voter has no direct power over the Supreme Court.” Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis- souri—1 had assumed the question of Federal and State Governments had been settled 160 years.” Senator Vanderberg, Republican, of Michigan—"1 don't think President Roosevelt has any thought of emulat- ing Mussolini, Hitler or Stalin, but his utterance, as I have heard it, is exactly what these men would say about the American picture if they were called upon to diagnose it.” Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho— *The public welfare comes first; if the Constitution gets in the way, it must yield.” MeNary Urges Voluntary Action, Senator McNary, Republican, of Oregon—"I don't take his gloomy aspect. -Of course, the Supreme Court decision has defined the limitation in which Congress can work, but with those limits a structure voluntary in character can be erected that will be very helpful to industry and labor. This should be done at once.” Representative O'Connor, Democrat, of New York—“The course for Con- gress is to enact law extending N. R. A. for interstate businesses and to au- thorize States to make compacts on regulation of businesses within State borders."” Jouett Shouse, president American Liberty League—“The President has renounced the Democratic party's tra- ditional theory of States' rights.” Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas—“The President has not re- nounced the Democratic par: theory of States’ rights at all.

Bremer at St. Paul, Minn., with the Weyerhaeuser abduction. Many witnesses said they had seen members of the Karpis gang in Ta- coma at various times during the past year and even during the week end at the Weyerhgeuser abduction. Details of the “snatch,” which was well planned, were related oy the youngster on nis speedy race o his home and parents. He verified 'he deductions of private investigators when he said he walked past Annie Wright Seminary w0 the Tacoma Tennis Club grounds on the day of his abduction, and “climbed a flight of steps” to a curbing. Two men were waiting there They were standing near an auto- mobile, the boy said. One wore a brown suit and one was the man whom George came to know as “Alvin.” -“Come over here, son, can you tell me where Stadium Way is?” he was asked, as he neared the men. “I don't know,” George said he re- plied. “Why so shy?” one of the men countered as George approached. Grabbed By Both. Both men then grabbed him, he said, and hustied him into a sedan, while one of them clapped his hand over the boy's mouth. In the automobile, which started up at once, George was blindfolded and covered with blankets, he said. During the eight-day period he was held captive, he said the kidnapers used two automobiles, a “tan sedan and a big, gray Buick.” - He said he saw six men of the gang while he was in the kidnapers hands. When he was led into the “hide- out house” near Issaquah for his long stay he was blindfolded, and when he was led out early today he also was blindfolded, he said. He was taken for a “little ride” before his release in a forest-iined road.

Unofticial speculation has centered | suspicion on Alvin Karpis, so-called , Public Enemy No. 1, 8 leader of the | gang which kidnaped Edward C. Bremer, St. Paul banker, for $200,000. Other remnants of the Karpis-Barker band and the Bailey-Kelly gang that | kidnaped Charles Urschel, Oklahoma | mililonaire, for $200.000 have been mentioned as possible suspects.

Assigned to the Tacoma case are some of the bureau's veteran investi- gators of such crimes as the Bremer and Urschel kidnapings and the Dil- linger ralds. They are in constant . touch with Hoover’s headquarters here | by telephone and telegraph. It was learned also that Federal operatives here already have prepared |a list of the serial numbers of the | ransom bills.

If all of the $200,000 demanded was paid as specified, the serial list would contain the numbers of 5.000 $20 bills, 5000 $10 bills and 10,000 | $5 bills, as designated in the ransom note. The serial numbers list was de- | scribed as bulky, with about 10 pages | of printed material.
