The victims were Mrs. Lu- eille Parks, 32, of Baltimore; Lillian Bachan, 20, of 3035 Bladensburg road northeast, and Robert H. Talley, 18, of 1812 N street.

OF FRANK CHARGED Wisconsin University Alum- nus Speaks to Regents in Hearing at Madison, | By the Associated Press. X MADISON, Wis, January T— George Harry Adams, University of | Wisconsin alumnus, charged the Board of Regents was “star-chambering” a public hearing today to force Dr. | | Glenn Frank's retirement from the | | university presidency. Student disturbances brought a | threat of the appointment of a ser- | geant at arms to preserve order. Harold M. Wilkie, regents’ board chairman and a leader of the faction | seeking the president’s ouster, opened the second day of the unprecedented hearing by allotting four supporters of Frank one-half hour of speaking time. Given Eight Minutes to Talk. As Adams arose, Wilkie warned he had just eight minutes to talk. Adams retorted he would speak as| long as he pleased. “Be true to your- self and put aside personal prejudices,” he told the regent. *Star-chambering | these proceedings will do you no good.” | Wilkie rapped the gavel 8 minutes later, but Adams continued to speak. The president’s office again was | crowded with interested partisans as on the opening session yesterday. Students who surrounded the office | | and watched through the windows | began hooting, whistling and cheering. After several shouted “sit down” Adams resumed his seat. Board Closely Divided. Regent Kenneth Downs said if there were any further disturbances he would | ask for the appointment of a sergeant at arms. Frank’s defenders faced a Regent's | ment toward the president. A vote | to delay the hearing, which Frank re- | | quested, was defeated, 8 to 7, yesterday. | George 1. Haight of Chicago read an | alumni directors’ resolution asking that Frank be given ample time to respond to the charges, that political considerations be eliminated and that records of the regents be examined to determine whether the president had acted contrary to their decisions. Whole Nation Watches. “The whole State—indeed, the whole country—is looking upon us here. The 70,000 alumni are alertly waiting. They are expecting fair consideration. “No one of us can fail to be grate- ful to him for having done so much to make this institution known at home and abroad * * *,” he said. “If there is now danger of political interfer- ence and consequent freedom of in- struction, every loyal alumnus, every believer in this university or in any university should rise up in protest.” Earlier President Frank called upon the board of regents to look at his record. Holds Charges Inaccurate. He contended an analysis of univer- sity accomplishments since he became president 11 years ago would support his contention that inefficiency charges lodged by Wilkie were inaccurate. He promised to offer the analysis today at the second session of his “trial” by the regents. Regent George Mead charged yes- terday that Gov. Philip La Follette instituted the ouster movement. Gov. La “Follette's Progressive party ap- pointees control the 15-member board. Terms Proceedings Peity. “These proceedings are small, petty and meaningless, Mead cried. “We should hang our heads in shame that they are permitted.” He asserted that at a meeting of the regents early last year Wilkie an- nounced La Follette had told him *the time had come when the regents must get rid of President Frank.” Summed up, the charges by Wilkie and Gates were as follows: That Frank no longer has the con- fidence of his faculty and State offi- cials; the university has made no progress under him; Frank has not lived up to the prestige the university gave him; he spent much of his time on outside interests; he permitted the State to pay unreasonable household expenses of his family and that he dodged responsibility in acute admin- istrative problems. FORMER ENVOY’S WIFE -ASKS $10,000 DAMAGES Mme. Lillian Simopoulas, wife of the former Greek Minister to the United States, filed sult in District Court today for $10,000 against Pack- ard Washington Motor Car Co., al- leging she received severe injuries by a fall through a trap door in the concern’s salesroom two years ago. Mme. Simopoulas’ address was given as London, England.

Secretary Wallace outlined today a 10-point program for keeping Amer- ica’s 30,000,000 farmers on a par with business and industry. “Agriculture is no longer the for- gotten industry of the United States,” | he said, citing a four-year rise in esti- mated farm income from $5,500,000,~ 000 to $9,000,000.000. The farmer's income has returned to its pre-war parity with urban in- comes, Wallace said, declaring he will seek to maintain that relationship. His program: 1. Free opportunity for farmers to organize. 2. Fair and stable income for the farmer, on an equal with city incomes. 3. Supplies of farm goods adjusted to adequate home needs and foreign | demand. Peace in Foreign Policy. 4. Foreign policies to encourage | peace with other countries and an | expanding market abroad for Ameri- can farm products. 5. Conservation of the soil and other | natural resources. | 6. Turning below-standard land to | non-farm uses. 7. Crop insurance, to cushion the shock ‘of drought, flood, frost and plague, combined with the every-nor- mal granary. 8. Better opportunities for the man with the hoe to own his land, and increased security for tenants and | owner-operators. 9. A higher standard of living for the poorer farmers. 10. Industrial policies to insure | abundance for wage earnersand farm- ers alike. Only two dangers threaten the farmer's future, farm experts said— a European war or another drought. Drought again would strain credit and relief resources in some regions, | they predicted. A war abroad, they said, might plug up the outlets for much domestic cot- ton and tobacco now sold in foreign markets, as the Spanish conflict al- ready has blocked the market for cer- tain tobacco-producing regions. World War Blamed. Wallace and other leaders also claim the World War, with its demands for expanded farm production, piled up the huge crop surpluses that con- tributed to the agricultural depres- sion of recént years. A plan for the Government to in- sure farm crops is on the President’s desk. The insurance would start only in wheat in 1938, but administration leaders say Conrmlu may include cot- ton and corn. The President has indicated he would press for aid to the nearly 3,000,000 tenant farmers, varying from Southern cotton sharecroppers to renters of fertile corn belt acres. Some Congressmen have plans to set up a Government corporation to supply land and credit for de- serving tenants, but Secretary Wal- lace favors improvement of landlord- tenant agreements. The soil conservation act, passed by Congress after the Supreme Court voided the original A. A. A., is dis- tributing $470,000,000 in benefit pay- ments to farmers who participated last year. Payments of $500,000,000 are planned for this year. Secretary Wallace and farm lead- ers have said that crop control fea- tures of the original A. A. A. should be incorporated in the Federal farm program, because short crops and high prices one year may cause overpro- duction the next. To accomplish this farm groups have suggested that if a constitu- tional amendment is planned to as- sure Federal power over wages and hours for labor, it also should include power over agriculture. The present soil conservation act provides for shifting crop control to “little A. A. A’s” in the 48 States after 1937, but, since only six States have set up this machinery, leaders EE C:lx‘:zxrm may abandon or delay shift, A long-time national program for aiding drought victims is indicated by the President’s Great Plains Com- mission. Members have advocated re- turn of many plowed acres to grass and trees, water-conserving projects and financial aids to drought victims.

C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1937, ENTRY DEADLINE Parents Cruel, Police Say February 23 Is Last Date to|* List Paintings in Corcoran Exhibition. American artists were notified by the Corcoran Gallery of Art today that February 23 has been set as the deadline for entry cards covering pro- posed exhibits in the Pifteenth Bien- nial Exhibition of ' Contemporary American Oil Paintings, to be held here from Msrch 28 to May 9, in- cluaive, % In a formal prospectus sent to artists in all parts of the country the gallery announced the exhibition will be con- fined, as in the past, to “original oll paintings, by living American artists, not before publicly exhibited in Wash- ington.” Pictures must be suitadly framed and not more than three pic- tures by one artist may be submitted. Every effort will be made, the gal- lery stated, to promote the sales of exhibits and no commission will be charged for these services by the gal- lery. From the 14 previous exhibitions 334 paintings have been sold, netting more than $500.000 for American artists. The exhibitions are outstanc- ing events in the realm of American art. Clark Awards Provided. A trust fund established by the late Senator W. A. Clark of Montana pro- vides the “W. A. Clark Prize Awards,” totaling $5,000, to be distributed at the show by judgment of a distinguished jury of artists. Expenses of the bien- nial exhibitions are met from a fund provided by Senator Clark's widow. Surplus income from both of these en- dowments may be used for acquisition of works of art by American artists. Thus, the biennial exhibitions are financed entirely by the Clark endow- ments. “In the organization of the fifteenth exhibition,” the prospectus stated, “it will be the effort of the gallery to maintain the same high standard as heretofore, and to make the exhibitlon | as representative gs possible. “The jury will not be limited as to | number of pictures which it may ac- cept, and every picture accepted by the jury will be shown in the exhibi- tion, but the jury reserves the right to nang not more than two pictures by any one artist.” The jury consists of William Glac- kens, New York, chairman; John Steuart Curry, Kansas and Connecti- cut; Daniel Garber, Pennsylvania; Richard Lahey, District of Columbia, and William M. Paxton, Massachusetts. Lahey is principal of the Corcoran | School of Art. Conditions Announced. The Clark prizes, it was announced, will be awarded by the jury, without | regard to subject, to the painters o(w the best four pictures by different artists included in the exhibition. No | painting will be considered for the prizes unless it had been completed | within two years of the opening of | the show, and no artist may receive | the same prize more than once, nor can he compete for a lower prize than one he has already received at a Cor- | coran show, | The gallery will have the option of purchasing within one week after the opening of the exhibition any or -u‘ of the prize pictures. First prize will | be $2,000 and the Corcoran gold | medal; second prize, $1,500 and the | Corcoran silver medal; third prize, $1,000 and the Corcoran bronze medal, | and fourth prize, $500 and the Cor- | coran honorable mention certificate. The last day for receiving works at | the New York agency of the Corcoran | Gallery (W. S. Budworth & Son) is March 2, and at the Corcoran Gallery | March 8. The jury will hold two meet- ings—one in New York City and the other at the gallery here. | 'KIDNAP WARRANTS FACE REED, GINGELL U. 8. Commissioner Here Acts to| Hold Pair and Kirby if Mur- der Charge Fails. Kidnaping warrants were issued by | United States Commissioner Need- ham C. Turnage yesterday against William Reed, Lawrence Gingell and | Joseph Kirby, suspects in the mur- ders of two men in nearby Mary- land and West Virginia. The trio are accused of stopping Willlam E. Brown, colored taxicab driver, in Washington late in No- vember and forcing him to drive them to Richmond, Va., where they left him after taking his money. It was said the warrants were is- sued at the request of the Depart- ment of Justice and were obtained merely as & means of holding the men on the kidnaping charge if the murder charges against the trio are not sus- tained in court. Gingell and Kirby are both in cus- | tody at Charleston, W. Va., but Reed is still at liberty and is being hunted Federal agents. Police accuse the trio of participa- tion in the slaying of Elwood Mat- thews, 68-year-old Montgomery Coun= ty farmer, on November 21 and the | robbery and fatal beating of W.

Kidnaping (Continued From First Page.) at the Mattson residence since De- | cember 27 was absent today to give the kidnaper an open road to the family. The kidnaper could do almost any- thing he chose without official inter- ference. This was obvious from rec- ords of the George Weyerhaeuser kid- naping here in 1935. Then Wn.shmg-‘ ton State patrolmen saw William | Mahan placing signal flags at the side | of a highway preparatory to receiving | the $200,000 ransom payment. They asked authority to arrest him, being | certain he was connected with the | kidnaping, but were told to ignore him, thus allowing the ransom pay- ment without interference. Similar latitude already has bven shown by officers in the Mattson case. " Reports from Shelton, Wash,, yester- | | suitable for a boy of Charles age were accepted by the Department of | | Justice, but not investigated. Officers here manifested “no lnur-‘; est” in “kidnap clues” from Spencer, Jowa; San Francisco and Las Vegas, | Nev. There was no indication early to- boy had not been returned. Belief the payment still pended was | d on a second voluntary state- ment to the press given Wednesday | by-Dr. Mattson. In it he asked news- | paper men to follow the example of | aw officers in allowing him free rein in his dealings with the kidnaper. | The doctor requested the watch be removed from his home, stories of | advertisements believed to be contact | efforts be stopped and his personal activities be left free of surveillance. Observers immediately pointed out | no such request would be necessary 1! the ransom had been paid. Newspaper men complied with the doctor’s plea almost immediately.

By telephone, Dr. Mattson ute- gorically denied the return, asserting: “There'’s no one by that name (Charles) here. I wish there were.” Dr. Mattson while delivering nis | prepared statement, obviously was suffering from great strain and s, peared to fear strongly for his son's safety. The statement was typewritten and nsigned. “In view of the lapse of time and cause of our desire to leave nothing | indone to effect the safe return of our ! son, my wife and I at this time request | that all members of the press in this vicinity make no further surveillance of any kind or nature whatsoever of u | bes ul | My movements at any hour of the day or night and that my home be not hed,” it stated, in part. “*+* * I feel certain, however, that | all parents at least will realize the terrible anxiety which my wife and I| are suffering and our desperate desire to see our son once more.” Officers of Utah and Nevada were stirred to activity by the report of a C.
