Psalm 64 : 1,2. : .-' OUR NEW BANK The city of La Grande now has but one bank the new First National, formed by. merging the assets of the two former banks, the United States National and the La Grande National. And this new bank, with a capitalization of $125,000 and a surplus of $25,000, is infinitely stronger and safer than either of the former institutions. All the business men and well informed citizens of the community are unanimous in the opinion that this merger was the very best thing that could have been done under the circumstances, and that it is a long step towai'ds the building of greater confidence in the future of La Grande and the Grande Ronde valley.: The immediate cause of the sudden decision to merge the assets 'of the1 two '. banks , into a new institution was the action, late Saturday afternoon, of the bank examiners in demanding, that each of these banks charge off from their books certain lanre amounts evitably accumulated, though not because of any laxity or carelessness in nankin tr nractice. , Aneiunawniental. reason for tnnvaa h fnnt- h.,f rlnrncu.n products, and decreased incomes in nearly all lines of busi ness, have made it impossible for numerous borrowers of money to repay their loans at maturity, thus leaving the banks holding these frozen assets. Most of these assets are perfectly sure, the loans having been made to the most honest and enterprising men of the valley. But in order to protect the bank depositors and strengthen the economic condition of the entire city and county, the' new bank was organized, taking ;over the selected assets of the two former houses, and backed by a fresh supply of ready cash canital.

DAY BY DAY EDUCATION A Columbia university professor of philosophy the other day admitted the grave fallacy in the popular idea that the education of children, and of young people can provide a guarantee for capable, intellectual adult life. It is a mistake to suppose that the childhood learning can prepare an individual to cope with the problems of mature life. The reason that so many persons fail to face nnd conquer the trials and troubles that come with maturity is because they stopped learning when they left school. Genuine education is something more than public school nnd college training. .

The most valuable work that schools can do is to teach young people how to teach themselves, and to inspire them with the desire to go on learning throughout their lives. Any adult can Warn something every day and some thing really worth while from hooks, newspapers, maga zines, and from the ordinary social and intellectual inter course with his fellow men. learning that is confined to adolescence leaves an attitude toward life that is sadly dis torted.

DKATII PENALTY BILL DKl.AYKD WASHINGTON, Mar. 7 Iff) The son ate- judiciary com(mlttce postponed action today on a bill to make Inter state kidnaping a federal , offonse punishablo by death, believing that to act on It now would endanger safe return of tl Lindbergh baby. For more than an hour, the com mittee discussed tho Lindbergh case and tho pending bill by Senator Pat terson, Republican, Missouri, and con cluded tlidt to pass on It now would frighten Jdic kidnapers, add to the agitation nnd publicity and work against the child's safe return. By I-'niuel.s .lamlrcnu HOPEWELL, N. J.,.Mar. 7 Cap tain J. J, Lamb or the state police announced today that no demand for ransom has over been made for the kidnaped Lindbergh baby and that neither the Lindberghs nor the police have ever had any communication from the kidnapers. This statement was in direct con tradiction of information given out by investigating forces at the Lind bergh estate last week that a note had been pinned to the nursery win dow sill demanding ransom and threatening harm to tho baby If the text of the note was made public. It was reported that this note de manded $50,000 for the baby's re turn but this was never officially confirmed. Capt. Ijmb made his announcement today at the morning press confer ence nt which he replied to a long list of prepared questions. Answers Given Tho full list of 21 questions and answers follows: Will tho police say officially wheth er or not there was a demand for ransom in tho noto left by tho kid napers? Tho family and police both deny there was a note left demanding ran som. Will tho police reveal the contents of the note? Police know of no note or con tents, v How milch ransom was demanded? Same answer as number one. Did any noto instruct Colonel Lindbergh to announce Spltale and Bt us as intermediaries four days af ter the kidnaping? No. What token, if any, did the kid napers leave to Identify their later communications to Colonel Lindbergh from fake messages? None. 4 ' "He Who Fears Possessions Is FALK'S have the utmost confi dence in La Grandeand its farming community. . We also have faith that we will survive any difficulties that mo mentarily effect us. ' Have the police or Colonel Lind bergh received any messages they bc llcvo are from the kidnapers? None. Believe Baby Is Alive Do the state police or Colonel Lindbergh believe the baby is dead or alive? We believe the baby Is alive. Was Johansen Junge (husband of seamstress in the home of Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh's mother) released after being ques tioned In Newark lost night? Yes. Was tho milk bottle found in Johnson's car the property of tho company which furnished milk for the Lindbergh baby? Henry John son, friend of Junge and suitor of Betty Gow;, the Lindbergh, baby's nurse, was still being questioned in Newark today). I can't tell you anything about the milk bottle as investigators have not reported as yet. Will Johnson bo released under bond or will he be detained fur ther? That depends on the outcome of his questioning. Has the report on the questioning of Johnson been received by the state police at the Lindbergh home? No, not as yet. What are the orders to the state police If the kidnapers, after nego Mating satisfactorily with, Colonel Lindbergh, attempt to bring the baby . to the Lindbergh home? j Do everything possible to help them deliver the child, Has Col. Lindbergh asked the state police not to Interfere with the nego- baby to the house? Has anyone made this request? (A) Col. Lindbergh has made no such request. (B) No. No Disagreement .What is the basis for the disagree ment between the police and Col Lindborgh as to tho method of pro cedure in this case? Thcro is absolutely no disagree- mcnt between Col. Lindbergh and the police, Was the time at which the baby was put to bed on tho night of the kidnaping his regular hour for going to bed? Yes. Will you tell tho movements of Betty Gow (the nurse) from the time she put the baby to bed until the kidnaping was discovered? Her movements were the usual movements. Is it true that polico are working on tho tip that Johnson, when ar rested, was on his way to Saco, Me., whero a relative of his, Mrs. Howard Plnkham. has a baby farm? Tho Investigators assigned to that angle of the caso have not reported as yet. No New Clues Aro there any new clues on tho ladder? Nono. If tho Lindbergh baby was ill why did Betty Gow leavo it from 7:30 to to 10 p. m.? Tho baby was not very ill. It had a slight cold. When will Colonel Lindbergh, Capt. Lamb, or someone in authority grant n personal interview to clear many discrepancies in tho case? Thcro aro no discrepancies given out from hero. Did Col. Brcckcnrldge (attorney ond friend of Lindbergh) seo Spitale last night? Colonel Breckenridge did not leave the house last night. In accordance with procedure in sisted on by police, reporters had to submit their questions and were not allowed to ask for more definite an swers than the police chose to give. For' that reason several of today's answers failed entirely to clear up matters which oro still a mystery. Typical of this was the answer as to Betty Gow's movements between the time she put the baby to bed and the time the kidnaping was discovered. Tho polico gave answers to all ques tions but til many Instances the an swers didn't answer anything. Complete Information on the prog ress of the hunt for tho child was becoming more difficult to obtain because of an apparent lack of full details on the part of state polico in wnose cnarge the hunt is pre- sumed to be. Although no man In recent years has been the recipient of as much spontaneous publicity as Col. Lind bergh, he never has courted It, nor has he cared for it. Under the pres ent circumstances he has followed a policy of leaving all dealings with tive press to the state police, except i for the appeals for tho return of his child which have been made over the Joint signatures of Mrs. Lindbergh and himself. Independent Action Taken The brief announcement Saturday, over the Lindbergh signatures that "Salvy" Spitale and Irving Bitz hod authority to act as go-betweens in negotiations for the baby's return, apparently was an action taken In- Not to Lose His Hard to Beat" dependent of the authorities, for tho latter professed ignorance of the ac tion. N. Spltale and Bitz have been looked upon as gang allies In the past. Uhey were named by Jack (Legs) Diamond in a statement to a newspaper man. (which was published posthumously) as the men who shot him down in tho Monticello hotel (New York) at tack that nearly cost him. his life. Spltale was questioned late last year in connection with Diamond's mur der, but was not held. Newspapers today theorized on the significance of the Lindberghs' ac tion In naming gangsters as co-be-tweens. Some of them saw in tho an nouncement an indication that Col. Lindbergh had heard directly from the abductors and that the naming of Spltale and Bitz was the result of such communication. Tells of Communication This morning's New York Amerl can said a communication "accepted as a valid message from the child's captors," had reached the Lindberghs and that it gave assurances that "the baby Is alivb and safe." However, early today Captain J. J. Lamb of tho state polico was asked: "Has any communication purport' ing to come from the kidnapers and stating that the baby is. 'alive and weir been received?" His reply was: "No such, messages have been re ceived by. this department." Asked concerning any developments, Captain Lamb replied: "There, is nothing new." No comment of any kind was forth coming from the Lindbergh estate h'dvo ' secluau"ThemsolWsfrom fhtcr"- vlewers throughout the days of search. A statement given by Spltale and Bitz to the New York Daily News today said: "Wo were asked by a representative of Col. Lindbergh to act for him in tho hope that tho kidnapers would get in touch with us. We had no ulterior motives in sacrificing our selves because sacrifice it is to aid the Lindberghs. We hope for no personal profit whatsoever. "Further, we have not been In com- mnnlnnl.lnn with t.hn Irlrinnnnro nnr have they been in communication! with us." , Spltale added: "As the father of two children I told the representative of the Lind bergh family that I was concerned with only one thing to recover the child, alive and in good health. My only thought is that as a man of my word, my promise that I'll play ball with the kidnapers Insures them of a square deal." Tho -naming of Spltale and Bitz did not close tho door to any other method of communication tho kid napers might prefer. "We will follow any other method suggested by tho kidnapers that we can be suro will bring the return of our child," the statement of the Lindberghs said. Selection n Mystery How the Lindberghs happened to select Spltale and Bitz as go-be t weens remained a mystery. The general belief hero Is that the Lind berghs felt the kidnapers would be more willing to doal with someone they believed would have the gang viewpoint, than with lawyers or the Lindborgh family itself. Commissioner Mulrooney of the New York City police said he had no knowledge of the selection of Spltale and Bitz until it was published by the newspapers late Saturday night. Spltale has been arrested once, ac cording to police records, but has never been convicted of a crime. Bite's record shows a feloyn convic tion. Thu flics of both men have been removed from the police rec ords without explanation. Spltale spent Sunday visiting num erous hangouts where outlaws are known to gather, and In passing the word to his allies to be on the watch for any word of the kidnaping. Ii this was a professional Job." ho said, 'I think I will be able to obtain the baby's release. If ama teurs did it, I am not so sure. They might not', be willing to trust me." Johnson Detained Henry (Red) Johnson, the sailor friend of Miss Betty Gow, nursemaid to the stolen baby, was still detains early today. He was arrested in Hart ford, Conn.i late last week when po lice found his automobile and a milk bottle in it. He has been questioned at great length since that time, both by Connecticut and New Jersey au thorities. Today he was held by newars ponce, mere was no Indica tion that he had made any statements involving either himself or Miss Gow. in tno Kidnaping. A statement by Johansen Junge. husband of a seamstress employed at tho home of Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow (Mrs. Lindbergh's mother) In Engle wood, tended to remove Johnson from suspicion as a participant in the kidnaping. Junge said he and John son wens to the Morrow home last Tuesday night the night of the kid SLoe satisfaction begins with a , Proper Fit- ENNA JETTICK SHOES FOR WOMEN fit perfectly Even the so-called "hard-to -fit" foot is easy to fit, from our range of 177 different Sizes and Widths VAAAA to EEE - Sizes 1 to 1 2 naping about 9 o'clock, ond that Johnson telephoned Miss Gow from there. When she told him she could not seo him that night, Johnson took Junge for a ride in his newly pur- chflrtccl ffUtomobire.'Thoy drove around Engiewood.'-'Junge Bald," "until midi night. :, Tho abduction occurred sometime between 8:30 and 10 p. m. When Capt. Lamb of the state po lice was asked today what the re sult of the questioning of Johnson had been, he replied: "Tho questioning Is not completed as yet." Tho general advice of those in au thority as well as of well wishers has been that the return of the baby Is of such transcendent importance that any thought of arrest and con viction of tho kidnapers is not now a matter of consideration. The Lind berghs themselves have followed this reasoning from the outset, and have indicated their willingness to meet the kidnapers' terms, whatever they may be. In the absence of definite word that any communication had been received from the kidnapers, some authorities today were considering the possibility that ransom was not tho object of tho kidnaping. The hiB tory of previous kidnaplngs has been that the abductors Invariably com municated with tho parents Immedi ately. The absence of direct and! re liable word from them within six days was seen by some as pointing to tho possibility that the abduction was motivated solely by a desire to possess the baby and not to obtain ransom. Such a theory, however, was pred icated upon the absence of definite knowledge. It was realized that the kidnapers may have communicated with Col. Lindbergh and that both ho and the state polico have with held that information in the interest of the baby's safety.
