SLOAN'S $o61.311 TOPS PAY LIST S. E. C. Figures for 1936 Show Warner Baxter Best Paid Actor. By the Assoclated Press. Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chairman of General Motors Corp., ranked today as the highest paid executive in 1936 among corporations reporting to the SBecuritiee Commission. He was paid $561,311, including a $411,161 bonus. | From the available statistics, Pub- | lisher William Randolph Hearst was | Bloan’s chief salary competitor. The only Hearst salary listed is $500.000 from Hearst Consolidated Publications, Inc.. but securities offi- cials said he may have received other pay checks from the score of other corporations that make up his news- paper, magazine, real estate and min- ing empire. Among the few large corporations which do not have to report to the 8. E. C. is the Ford Motor Co., because 1ts securities are not traded on a na- tional securities exchange. Walter P. Chrysler, another manufacturer, drew $200,700 Chrysler Corp. $507.645 for Knudsen. General Motors made President Wil- liam S. Knudsen a contender for top honors with $507.645 and reported $353.755 for Vice President Charles F. Kettering Nicholas M. Schenck, president of Yoew's Inc. which controls Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, topped the Hollywood film colony last year with | $312,785. In other companies, actors usually drew more than executives, including: | ‘Warner Baxter, $284,384; Gary Cooper, $265.454; George Raft. $202.666. Kay | Francis, $227.500; Joe E. Brown, $201,- | 562; Leslie Howard, $185.000; Ronald Colmi $162,500, and Irene Dunne, | $102.777 Motion picture directors and pro-| ducers also stood high on the salary | nIist. Darryl F.

The Regans denied, however, mak- ing any telephone call puroporting to be a demand for $5,000 ransom. Mrs. Horst reported such a call to police shortly after the child was taken. The amazing circumstances which Crowley said the Regans related and which he said solved the “kidnaping” but left a baby mix-up to be investi- gated were these Donald was vorn to Mrs. Regan January 6. 1935, and Regan was thc father, but they were not then mar- ried. The attending physician, Dr John A.

Pay cuts, usually due to elimination | or reduction in bonuses, also appeared | on the list. Chairman Charles M Schwab of Bethlehem Steel, for in- | stance, was listed at $203,332 in 1935 and $180.000 in 1936 Among other industrialists in the $200,000 pay class were were: Walter 8.

Ewert was a chauffeur for Dr. Rose. In divulging the above Crowley add- ed his investigation indicated the baby then was given into the care of Mr. and Mrs. Horst and a birth certificate was filed purporting to show the Horsts | were the natural parents. Recently Ewert told Mrs. Regan the Horst's child was hers, Crowley said, and Mrs. Regan decided to take it “at the first opportunity.” Capt. Daniel Gilbert of the State's attorney's police said he had ordered his men to round up “everybody who had any connection whatever with the birth of this child.” ‘While Crowley said Mrs. Regan told him the child was born at Ewert's home a birth certificate for Donald Otto Horst asserted the boy was born to Mrs. Horst on January 4, 1935, at another residence, home of friends of the Horsts. Capt. Gilbert added another baf- fling phase to the case by declaring that “Horst was the victim of a fraud perpetrated by his wife.” Gilbert said that Horst was notified he was a father and found Mrs. Horst in bed with a child and was congratulated by friends. Capt. Gilbert said his investigators intended to question Dr. Rose, now vis- iting in Batavia, N. Y., as well as the Regans, the Horsts, the Ewerts and “all others concerned.” Launch Hunt for Ewert. lice launched a seven-State search for Ewert this morning on a theory he was a central figure in the case. Fed- eral agents joined them as “observers” in case & Federal law violation were involved. Crowley quoted the Regans as saying Ewert merely drove an automobile for them yesterday when the child was taken. The prosecutor added he believed Ewert was in Chicago and would be located soon for questioning. Crowley quoted Mrs. Regan as say- ing she realized “Mrs. Horst would not give up the baby willingly” but that she and her husband decided to take the child from the Horst home to avoid possible court action and with- out belief there would be “any such public outery.” Sobs, “No, It Is My Baby.” Mr. and Mrs. Horst were at their home when notified the child had been found. Policeman Michael Meltzer ac- companied them to Irving Park Sta- tion where the Regans’ story was told them. Sobbing, Mrs. Horst cried to Officer Metzer: “If it was their child (the Regans) why would they ask $5.000 for it? No, no, it is my baby.” In Crowley's office Mrs. Regan re-. iterated: “It is my baby and I've been search- —_— R Ren Search: Guaranteed Prompt Delivery Service on LUMBER MILLWORK and Bullding Materials When you need Lumber in oy guantity.

Thirty-two housebreakings and rob- beries in the last®24 hours, with a reported loss of $3,800, prompted Chief of Detectives Bernard W. Thompson today to point out that Washington needs at least 500 additional officers to police the city properly. “We cannot put more officers on these cases because we are under- manned,” Thompson declared. “We need about 500 more men to adequate- ly police the city.” The inspector said, however, that the recent increase in crime is al- most wholly of a petty nature and “nothing to be alarmed about.” The largest theft was ceported by Thomas Giles, colored, who said a burglar entered his home at 1632 Tenth street and stole jewelry valued at $900 and $300 in postal savings certificates. Lawrence Peak told police that an intruder ransacked his apartment at 1627 Sixteenth street, making off with jewelry and clothing valued at $900. The loot included diamond rings and platinum and diamond brooches Taxi Driver Held Up. A colored bandit held up Edward H. Shoemaker, 41, a taxicab driver, in| the first block of Florida avenue and | took $4. Shoemaker, who lives at 919 B street northeast, said the man| hired his cab at North Capitol and P streets and directed him to Florida avenue, where he drew a gun and forced him to turn into an alley.
