WASHINGTON, D. O, MBy 15.
Even the administration Insiders here
Beyer understood why Al Smith bowed
himself so quietly
out of the na
tional, political
picture.
Flimsy excuses
were offered at
the time for ces
sation of his pic
turesque criticism
of certain admin
istration policies.
The most widely
advertised one
was that he dif
fered with hla
m a g a zlne pub
Paul Matlon
lisher about the air mall matter. That
Is what 8mlth would nave canea d
loney. Those who have talked with him
lcently have a new Idea about it.
They whisper that his attacks on
ht administration drew a strong per
sonal reaction on him. He did not
Blind abuse from a section of the
press and public. But when his closest
(rlends, and even members of his own
family, began to call him a sorehead,
he thought It was about time to with
hold his fire.
. An example of the ridicule heaped
upon him la told by one of his close
friends. ....
A pal called Smith's office on the
.i.nhnna one morning after Smith
i.- m.rf ft nt.ronfflv critical attack
n th administration money poucy.
Al'a secretary answered the phone, In
formed the caller' thatSmlth-was tied
up In a conference and asked If there
was any message She recognised the
nice of the caller. ....
"Yes," said the voice. "I do want
n lonvn message. Are you ready;
11 rtv" renllerl the woman, with
pencil poised.
"Well, tell him spplllhhhl"
That la a sound which has never
tu-en accurately reduced to language,
but Al no doubt recognized It as a
bronx cheer, or what Is commonly
called "the bird."
Politicians talk about that situa
tion whenever they gather and they
seem to agree that once again Al
Smith was too far ahead of his time.
just as he was four years too soon
In advocating repeal, he jumped Into
a critical role against the adminis
tration before any considerable num
ber of people was ready to follow him.
If he had held back until now, and
moderated hla words as some other
akeptlcs did, he would be riding the
same surfboard as, for Instance, Scn
(...., mux.
President Roosevelt had an Idea for
solving the war debt muddle a few
days ago, but congress romped all
over It in the cloakrooms and It now
will probably never see the light of
day.
The scheme called for new agree
ments. All Interest, past and future,
would be waived. The principal would
be paid in full.
It was based on the logical fact that
a debtor la lucky to get his principal
back these days, without expecting
any Interest.
A trial balloon waa sent up for the
White House Idea by Speaker Ralney.
He pointed to our successful settle
ment with Finland on that basis,
i Finland Is the only debtor paid up
to date). Ralney offered the plan as
a model for those, like Britain,
pnrtlBl default.
The shooting started at once.
-nrmionl riflemen figured that
the scheme would lop $10,000,000,000
off the debt. They are not willing to
give up a single cent. At heart, most
of them really want to force the
debtors into default. At any rate,
they would rather forco a default
than glvo in. ,
After a few days the administration
let It be known It was "highly un
likely" that the plan would officially
be offered.
The administration also quietly
sounded out the debtors on a plan
whereby they would make substantial
token payments on their June 15 In
stallment. The debtors were led to
believe that. In case they paid enough,
the administration might hold that
they were not in default.
Then the Johnson act would have
no application to them. That act bars
only defaulting nations from borrow
ing money In this country.
The result Is that one of the highest
administration war debt men asys
privately the situation Is miserable."
Whit he means is that we do not
expect to get a thin dime on the June
.15 installments.
With so many matters up In the atr,
no solid BiifM can be made about
adjournment of congress. Congres

telegram of congratulatlona to parents
Ariz., who was recovered from kidnap era
Gettle was here.
LOS ANGELES, May 15. (AP)
With a epeed that left an angry city
gasping, William F. Gettle was re
stored to his home today, the asserted
kidnapers of the "oil millionaire were
caught, not a cent of ransom was paid
and confessions were claimed from
three of the band within a few hours
after their arrest.
This almost unbelievable climax to
the most sensational kidnaping writ
ten Into police records here since Wil
liam Edward Hickman lured youthful
Marlon Parker Into an automobile
seven years ago, tore her body to
pieces and collected a $1500 ransom,
came at eventide yesterday.
Quick Climax In Case.
Where police had hoped only to re
turn the 47-year-old retired business
man possessor of a fortune estimated
af $3,600,000, to his wife and four
children, before catching his ab
ductors, they suddenly found them
selves In command of an entire case,
wrapped and ready for delivery to the
district attorney for prosecution.
Brilliant success, growing out of the
barest of clues, came after an Im
passe caused by a dramatic end to
preliminary ransom negotiations In
the early morning houra of Monday.
A few hours after Blayney Mat
thews, chief of the district attorney's
Investigators, had been frightened out
orwhat hethought; to' Ue'a trap of
hijackers attempting to steal $60,000
ransom money which he carried, Oapt.
Harry Seagar, police officer, came
upon the key that unlocked the case.
Victim Taped.
With the' swiftness of lightning, a
squad of officers raided a email house
In suburban La Crescents, found Get
tle, his face masked by court plaster,
his limbs helpless In tape, lying upon
a bed, and captured one man in the
house, another escaping out a rear
door. .
While these officers were delivering
Gettle from his bonds, other police
trapped a second man and two women
and a short time later, on a telephonic
tip, they caught the third man, vo
had escaped from the house.
As Gettie, with a police escort, was
sped to his home and the arms of an
anguished wife who could only say
"Thank Godl" for the safo return of
her husband, tight-lipped officers put
the men, Larry Kerrigan, Roy A. Wil
liams and James F. Kirk, under a fire
of examination that soon brought
from them confessions to the crime.
Actions Confessed.
Kerrigan described himself as Get
tie's guard and named Williams and

WHEN NERVE PAILS
TUCSON, Ariz., May 15. (p)
Colby 8. Farrar, Pima county un
dersheriff, said this afternoon
fragmentary remark made by
June Robles In a brief conversa
tion with Investigators had di
rected definite suspicion toward
two persons as members of the
kidnap gang which entombed the
little girl alive.
Farrar said he believed arrests
would be only a matter of hours.
TUCSON, Ariz., May 15. (AP)
Carlos O. Robles, assistant Pima
county attorney and uncle of 6-year-old
June, flatly denied today rumors
that the child's kidnapers had re
ceived $10,000 In ransom money be
fore the little girl waa released from
her desert prison.
"We absolutely did not pay cent.
of ransom money to anyone," de

President Hands Congress
Appropriation Request
Covering Activities Next "
Year in General Relief
WASHINGTON, May IS. (API
President Roosevelt pushed toward
congress today a 81.333,000.000 appro
priation request, designed to fund re
covery activities for next year within
the terms of his budget.
The principal Items wen for pub
lic works and general relief.
As he polished up an a -company-
lng message the prealdent waa repre
sented as hopeful for wide discre
tionary authority In spending the '
money. . .
The (1,333.000,000 would complete
the (3.166.000,000 recovery chest pro
posed by Mr. Roosevelt In his Janu- :
ary budget for the fiscal years at
1034 and 1938.
In his last budget message he atat- .
ed he expected the government ta
return to a pay-as-you-go basis dur
ing the fiscal year 1936.
Pointing to a pay-as-you-go basts
for the 1038 fiscal year, the presi
dent warned In his message today: :
"in my judgment an appropria
tion In excess of the above amount
would make more difficult, If not
Impossible, an. actual balance of th
budget In the fiscal year 1936, un
less, greatly Increased taxes are pro
vided. . "The present estimates should be
sufficient as a whole to take oars of
the emergencies of relief and of or
derly, .re-cmployment at ..least- -until -the
. early pari? of the calendar1 year
1938.. If at that time conditions
have . not Improved . as muoh as w( -hope
today, the next congress will b
In session and will have full oppor
tunity to act."
Simultaneously strong Intimations
came from high government souroes
today that the administration expects
the banka to do a greater share of
carrying the load and putting out
credit to carry the recovery drive
along.

Sunday, but they arc back ,
where they belong today. Don't
want to spoil 'em. If you brag ,
on 'em too much they will get ,
as swell-headed as tha father
and children.
Senate passed the bill to reg
ulate Wall Street. Tha govern
ment is going to put traffic
lights on it.
It's always been a hit-and-run
street. The red light tells
you you better stop and wait
before buying. The green light
tells you that you are a sucker
anyhow and you just as well
go ahead. The yellow light
means put up no inoro margins,
let 'em sell you out.
