= PITCHER ALLEGES HE WAS KIDNAPED Rhem Says Men Forced Him to Drink in Captivity New York, Sept. (UP)—Pres dent John A. Hevdler of the Nation. al league was asked today to in vestigate immediateiyta story told | by a Flint Rhem, St. Louis Cardin- al pitcher, to the effect that he had been abducted by “armed men” and forced to drink and remain intox- icated for 24 hours. Rhem, who was to have pitched | for, the Cardinals in the current ali- | important series with the Brooklyn Robins, left the Alamac hotel where the club is staying Monday night. | He returned last night, apparently suffering from the effects of alco- | hol, and told a rambling story of how he had been kidnaped and held prisoner and plied with with liquor. Gabby Street, manager of the Cards, was inclined to doubt Rhem's story and disposed to minimize the incident. Rhem was put to bed and ! Xept incommunicado this morning. Because of the possibility that he, had been telling the truth and in view of the extreme closeness of the National League pennant race and Rhem's importance to the Car- dinals, demand was made to Pr dent Heydler that he investigate. The National league president | was disposed to await Rhem's re- covery and to talk with him before launching any further investigation. ASSEMBLY DECIDEY TO INVITE STATES, Way Lelt Open for America to Conler on Plan Geneva, Sept. 17 (P)—The assem- bly of the League of Nations today left open a way in which the United | States may confer and collaborate with the Geneva body on a plan for | a federation of European states such | as originally suggested by Aristide | Briand, I'rench foreign minister. The assembly, as was previously agreed, sent M. Briand’s memoran- dum of May 17, in which he broach- | 2d the idea of a European federation, to a special committee of representa- | tives of the European states and | members of the league for further | study and report to the assembly next year. Consent Unanimous This action was taken by unani- mous consent, the resolution order- | ing it being presented by M. Briand. | This resolution was changed over | night o as to suggest to the commit- | tee which may be formed eventually that it may avail itself of collabora- tion of any nation, including non- members of \ the league and non- European members. This of course was considered as opening the possibility later of an in- | vitation to the United States to have a representative on the com- mittee which finally takes M. Bri- and’s memorandum under advise- ment. The assembly of the league today declined to declare China eligible for reelection immediately to the council of the league. Of 48 .valid vote: cast 27 favored giving Nanking the right to reenter the council this year | but to change the rule a two-thirds majority of those voting was re-| quired. | The assembly then elected Guate- | mala, Norway and the Irish Tree State to the three council s cated by Cuba, Canada and and. | Portugal's candidacy, launched only | yesterday, failed { Middletown Cautious as | Paralysis Causes Deaths | Middletown, Sept. 17 School health authorities unusual vigilance today as of two deaths from infantile alysis here within 24 hours.

The boy, with his unusual man- nerisms and keen theatrical value, puts in an act much as any charr ing kid would. His directors have not endeavored to give him a ve- hicle filled with witty lines, an adult could say only with difficulty, but have allowed him to walk out on the stage and talk his own little talk just likes he wants to and just he will. It is needless to say packed audience holds breathlessly on his every line.
