Hoover Never In Better Health; ~ Weight Stays ‘Washington, Oct. 15 (UP)—Presi- dent Hoover has never in his life been in better health than he is now, his physician and associates agreed today. Throughout the summer the presi- dent's weight has remained station- ary at 187 or 188 pounds, according 1o his secretary. George Akerson, who denied published reports that Mr. Hoover recently lost 15 pounds, or that his health was even slight- 1y impaired. Lost When He Arrived The executive did lose some weight when he first came to the ‘White House, but it was to the bene- fit of his general health, it was said. Never before has Mr. Hoover been restrained to a regular diet and regular exercise. Now he arises each day at 6:45 a. m. and retires usually about 11 p. m. He has been induced to guard against a large ap- petite. He used to nibble nuts and cherries during meals. Now nuts are barred, but he still eats cherries at meal times. On the White House lawn, at 7 2. m. each day, Sundays excepted, there is & meeting of the “medicine ball cabinet.” The group which joins the executive in tossing the ball about for 15 minutes usually includes his physician, Capt. Joel T. Boone, Lawrence Richey, executive secretary, Secretary of Interlor Wil- bur, Assistant Secretary of Treasury ‘Walter Hope, Assistant Secretary of Navy Jahncke and sometimes Attor- ney General Mitchell. Cooling System Helped Capt. Boone believes the presi- dent has maintained his weight dur- ing the hot summer months because of his week-end visits to the presi- dential camp and the fact that the nhew cooling system has been in op- eration in the White House execu- tive offices.

BLOODHOUNDS LEAD KIDNAPERS’ CHASE Young Married Woman Returns t0 Stockton Alter Abduction Greenville, Mo., Oct. 15 (UP)— Bloodhounds led posses through the Ozark Hills today hunting the man who kidnaped Mrs. Alma McKinley, 24-year-old expectant mother, forced her to flee toward the mountains with him and releas- ed her only when his automobile was wrecked and capture seemed near. Unharmed excgpt for the shock and fatigue, Mrs. McKinley walked into Btockton, Mo., 26 miles from here, last night after she had been freed and warned that death await- ed her wealthy father, herself and family if the search continued. The young woman's return, how- ever, touched off a wider hunt than the one conducted through south- east and central Missouri yesterday. Threats of violence were heard as the posses took the trail. Bloodhounds were taken to‘the spot near Jericho Springs where the kidnaper's automobile was wrecked and the posses converged, spurred to their task by a $2,000 reward of- fered by Benton Wilson, millionaire father of Mrs. McKinley. Released Yesterday Mrs. McKinley sald she was re- leased early yesterday and walked into Stockton where she. telephoned her father. Suffering from fright and fatigue from the long over the rough Ozark Hills, Mrs. McKinley related her experiences last night in the Wilsén home where she and her mother were surprised by the armed kidnaper Monday night and the younger woman forc- ed into her own automobile. “I saw only one of the men all | the time I was away,” she said. “He talked about meeting some other men in the hills near Stockton. I was lost and don't know exactly where we were. Threatened Her /'The kidnaper threatened me only once. He said he would kill me and mur- der my father if I told anyone | where we went or attempted | identify him. “Forcing me to drive my own car, |the kidnaper first took me to Ar- cola. Then he took the wheel and drove west into the hills. Near Jericho Springs he hit a stump and wrecked the car.

Finally he re- leased me with the threats.” Officers heading the posses were convinced that the kidnaper belong- ed to the same band that recently abducted Samuel Katz, wealthy Kansas City druggist, and forced him to pay $100,000 for fis releasc. The officers said they belleved tho plan of the kidnapers was to holl Mrs. McKinley far back in the hills and extort a high ransom from her father, who made his millions in Oklahoma oil and retired to Green- fleld. i Overnight News 1 By {he Awmociated Press.
