By FRANK JENKINS
PRESIDENT HOOVER direct the
law enforcement agencies and the
secret service of the federal govern
ment to set out upon a hunt for
the murderers of the Lindbergh baby,
which Is "never to be relaxed until
those criminals are Implacably
brought to Justice."
Let us all say amen to those or
ders. THe Lindbergh baby case has stir
red deeply the emotions not only
of the people of this country, but
of people all over the world. We
thrill with sympathy when we think
of the bereaved parents, and are
tremble with anger when we think of
the murderers.
But let us not forget the suffer
ings of this most famous father and
mother In the world are no more
acute than the sufferings of the low
liest parents whose baby might have
been taken from them.
, Human suffering la human suffer
ing, no matter whether it occurs In
high places or low.
BUT let us turn from this harrow
ing subject. Nothing is to be
gained In this world by becoming
morbid.
Have Su seen Crater Lake. In thta
early spring season of a year of ex
ceptional snowfall?
If not, you have missed something
tremendously worth while.
THE snow begins low down, many
miles from the rim of the blue
lake that has aroused the admiration
and the awe of every person who has
seen it.
From a depth of a few Inches
where it begins, it Increases steadily.
Soon, as one drives along, it reaches
a level with the eyes. A little later
It has mounted to the top of the car.
At the rim of the lake, it is twice
the height of an automobile.
THE lake Itself is a blue Jewel in a
setting of pure white; radlcall)
different in appearance from the
summer season, when its setting is
in tawny yellows and browns. Its
air of mystery Is greatly heightened
by the deep snow that surrounds it.
Many will see this wonder of the
West this summer, but for those who
visit it In the unusual conditions of
this spring a great treat la in store.
A DEALER In electric refrigerators
said yesterday to this writer:
"There la much talk of lack of
money, but in spite of all this talk
cash sales of electric refrigerators
this year are running much higher
.than at any time in the past. That
ia to say, more people are paying
all cash and fewer are buying on
terms."
That la'a healthy sign. During the
flush years following the war, people
all over the world were far too ready
to go into debt.
That is one of the things wrong
with business now.
HERE is another Interesting side
light: This dealer advertised In the news
papers the other day a slightly used
electric refrigerator at a low price, a
number of ordinary ice boxes at an
exceedingly low price and a diamond
ring at a considerable reduction in
price.
He received one inquiry about the
electric' refrigerator, two about the
ice boxes and SEVEN about the dia
mond ring.
A CIRCUS showed In Southern
Oregon during the past week.
It attendance waa good.
The advance agent made thla state
ment: "Every since we atarted out
this spring, we have been running
about 35 per cent ahead of last year
in attendance."
ONE other good sign:
Earl Carroll's "Vanities" Is show
Ing on the Pacific Coast. It Is a big
road show, carrying with It a very
large cast one of the first of It
kind to visit this area In many years.
Advance sale of seats, as theae
worda are written, is aa large as any
ever held in this region.
MONEY, of course, REALLY IS less
plentiful thla year than In oth
er years that have gone before. But
it ISN'T totally lacking. These straws
in the wind that have been here
mentioned prove that.

HOPEWELL. N. J., May 14. (AP)
Pages of Intriguing details. Indica
tive of even more important Informa
tion beneath the shield of police se
crecy, came to light tonight in the
relentless pursuit of the Lindbergh
baby killers.
An outline of the two months' ne
gotiations carried on along the At
lantic seaboard with a five-man
gang by John Hughes Curtis became
public even as another inter medliary.
the aged Or. John P. Condon, as
serted the child's "kidnaper" was
known to him and would be caught.
Then spoke up the police In the
person of Col. H. Norman Schwarz
kopf:
Police Doubtful
"As has been shown in Dr. Con
don's own statement he only saw one
member of the gang and the descrip
tion given of this man does not co
incide sufficiently closely to any of
these described by Mr. Curtis to cause
us to draw any conclusions."
Dr. Condon paid a (50,000 ransom
for Col. Charles A, Lindbergh to a
man in the dusk of a Bronx (New
York city) cemetery on April 2. Cur
tis and two Norfolk, Va associates
began their negotiations on March 9
and continued them until Thursday
night when the body of the child
was found.

YARNS EXPLODE;
Five days before the primary elec
tion, there is a decided trend to
apathy among the voters of Jackson
county, and according to Assessor
J. B. Coleman, a keen observer of
local political affairs, "there Is less
Interest now than a month ago." It
Is an election without a leading can
didate for any office on the Re
publican or Democratic tickets and
partisanship la at low ebb.
In the past 10 das, according to
the clerk and other officials, voters
particularly from the rural districts,
have come to the courthouse to
investigate wild campaign charges
for themselves and report back to
their neighbors. Some of the charges
were such fantastic fabrications that
a reaction has set In against their
purveyors. The voters have stopped
'believing anything sensational." AH
aspirants for office claim that "a
drift has set In" for them the past
week. On the other hand, the curb
stone and cigar store prophets are
not wagering their cash, because no
Job-hunter looms as a cinch.
The only certainty is that within
the next five days, the fur and can
ards will fly, for a grand finale
Thursday. The first canard of the
campaign was born In the Ashland
section Friday, and made good head
way.
The Democratic warhorses are cen
tering their energy in their own
race for sheriff and county Judge.
In the later contest they are build
ing high hopes on the Republicans
nominating a weak candidate in
crowded field, which will enhance
their chances of victory In the fall,
due to the Republican , party fuss.
There Is all kinds of political
maneuvering going on by bell-wether
politicians, with schemes to "win it
they lose." One captain has four
candidates for county Judge in the
race, and if none of the lot wins.
Is reported as not adverse to running
independent himself, "to save the
farmers, county and taxpayers.'
There are 17.328 voters registered
i in the county and the prediction is
freely made that close to 10.000 oi
I these will not get to the poll. This
i la based on the fact that never have
50 per cent of the voters exercised
I their ballot rights In a primary,
t In the last general election primary
less thsn 15 per cent voted.
Assessor Coleman also reports that
hit observations have led him to the
conclusion, "there is less talk among
the rank and file than two weeks
ago."
In the state office races, from con
gress to the legislature, only slight
interest Is being manifested.

PLOT TO KIDNAP
LINDBERGH ALSO
SKIPPERS BELIEF
NORFOLK, Va May 14. (AP)
The theory that the Lindbergh baby
kidnapers possibly may have been
maneuvering to kidnap Colonel Lind
bergh himself was advanced tonight
by Captain F. H. Lackman, pilot
of the yacht vainly used by John
Hughes Curtis for two weeks In an
effort to contact them.
Captain Lackman said he arrived
at this theory In trying to account
for the strange maneuvering of the
supposed kidnapers and their "come
on and hold-off" movements during
the lengthy negotiations.
He skippered his vessel, the yacht
Marcon, out to sea, eight times,
with Colonel Lindbergh and Curtis
aboard, but none of the trips re
sulted In a contact, he said.
Commenting on his theory, Cap
tain Lackman said he had nothing
tangible to base It on, but It had
occurred to him as a possible ex
planation for the behavior of the
kidnapers. f
Meanwhile police here guarded any
progress they were making In their
Investigation Into "certain clues" in
the Norfolk angle of the kidnaping
murder case of the Lindbergh baby.

WASHINGTON. May 14. (AP)
Spurred by a party warning from
Senator Walnh of Montana against
a deadlocked "convention, supporters
of Franklin D. Roosevelt are ready
for a renewed drive next week to
impress upon Democracy the com
manding lead of the New York gov
ernor for the presidential nomina

only a month off, are still having
their troubles over prohibition. The
selection today of Senator Reed as
the Pennsylvania delegation's repre

certain a strong attempt would be
made to Insert a moist plank in
the Republican platform. Reed, an
administration stalwart, came out
only Thursday for licensed sale of
liquor In government owned or gov

Walsh, in a letter to W. W. Mc

Democratic Speaker Says
President 'Done More to
Prevent Return of Con
fidence Than Anything'
WASHINGTON, May 14. ( AP)
Speaker darner today leaned back in
his chair, fingered the stub of a cigar
and accused President Hoover. of hav
ing "done more to prevent the re
turn of public confidence than any
other one thing."
The sllvery-halred Texan chose his
dally press conference aa the occas
ion for criticizing 'what he called
"the unending stream of statements
from the White House."
After saying ha did not yet want
to talk about his plans for relief leg
islation, the speaker set newspaper
men scribbling when he remarked:
Should Keep Sllrnt
"The president's statements have
done more to keep the people's minds
unsettled than any other one thing.
If he would refuse to Issue a state
ment for thirty daya, I would guar
antee that things would thaw out."
Someone asked whether he thought
the president was "campaigning."
"I don't say that, but I think It
does Indicate that he wants to keep
his name before the people," Gamer
said.
The Texan already has been pledged
the California votes for the presi
dential nomination .t the democratic
convention. Texas, too will support
him. Campaign headquarters hsve
been opened In Chicago, the conven
tion city, althougn tne speaker never
has said he would be a candidate.
Has Changed Mind
"The president says, and keeps say
ing, that confidence Is frozen," Oar
"r continued. "Something brought
that about. He started Issuing state
ments In 1929 to thaw things out.
"His statementa have been so con
trary ha has changes his mind so
many times that In my opinion the
people not only have lost confidence
In his Judgment but possibly In his
patriotism, except from a selfish
standpoint.
"He has done more In the last six
months to freeze public confidence
than all other forces put together.
If he would Just taks Cal's attitude
for thirty days and keep mum, things
would thaw out."
-Garner said the president could not
forget the days when he waa a "min
ing promoter selling atocks."
