LOUISVILLE, Ky Oct. 13. (AP) What appeared to be bloodstain on a nearby boat ho use pier and a myste riously torn telephone book were found late today shortly after Berry V. Stoll had broadcast another fran tlc plea to his wife's kidnaper. The spots on the pier were noticed by three youths while police and federal agents combed the brush and woods near the 16 -acre Stoll estate. That sudden move which began this morning had been Interpreted by at least one police participant as Indi cating the family feared Mrs. Stoll had met death from the kidnaper. The husband's latest appeal Indicated the same feeling. "In her present weakened condi tion, even a day may be too long," he declared. The 36-year-old society woman was 111 with a cold when slugged and forced from her home last Wednesday.

The Harrods Creek section of the book things are so unsettled now. The brain trusters lately have de eamped (all except Dr. Vlner). Their report have been handed upstairs to Mr. Ollphant, who la sitting upon them. And when Mr. Ollphant sits upon anything, It usually Is fairly " well flattened out. Hts bulk looms Just as large In the Inner treaeury scene as the money vaults themselves. His Influence Is almost equal to that i of Mr. Morgenthau and possibly sur- passes It occasionally. Mr. Morgen thau usually. follows hla advice. (OH phant la the man accredited on the Inside with having put over the silver policy.) This Is the reason why you have been reading so many conflicting re ports about what the government Is going to do on taxes. It explains why some have been predicting tax re vision In January, and others are denying It. On the basis of past experience Mr. Ollphant will undoubtedly win hands down, and there will be no tax re vision in January. The brain trustera will not let a peep out about what their reform recommendations were. Dr. Vlner warned them, at the start, to run If they saw a news man coming. "Go as far as you like In writing your re ports," Vlner told them confidenti ally. "If I do not agree, I will send them back, but If you atlll hold your view. I'll send up your report un changed." That was encouraging Some of the boys did cut loose In their reports and even went outside the field of taxation to suggest changes in banking and other prac tices. For Instance, they could see no sense In holding heavy reserres agRlnst time deposits.

Black inger prints were on the directory. The youths, K. J. Schwabenton, Cliff Langley and Dan Grey Jr., said that several times In the last two weeks they had seen an old. can opied boat at the seldom-used pier. The boathouse Is on the Ohio river near the Stoll estate. Investigators began efforts to determine whether the spots were bloodstains and try to learn the significance of the youths' find. Stoll's appeal late today followed hla announcement of yesterday that he had compiled with all the re quirements of the kidnaper who snatched Mrs. Stoll from their home last Wednesday and demanded 50,- 000 ransom. Today's announcement said: 'We are not In any way trying to catch or trap the party who carried my wife off, but, not having received any word from Alice, we fear that she may have been abandoned nad we have consented that she be looked for, as she Is 111, and In her present weakened condition, even a day may be too long. We pray that she win be released In a safe, warm place and we be notified lnAnediatcly how to reach her. We have compiled with everythign requested. (Signed) : "Berry V. Stoll."

OREGON BOWS TO WASHINGTON 16-6 The need for tax reform Is vital. Our system Is a nonsensical hodge podge and crury quilt of conflicts be tween the federal, state and local authorities. It Is true there are liter ally thousands of taxing bodies and many instance of duplication. In fact the only tax which Uncle Sam reserves exclusively Is the tax on im port. Breakdown of many state rev enue systems during the depression has heightened Interest in the prob lem. Even mere serious factors are the rising deficit and the flight of capital abroad. The United States Is the only major power which has not modernized Its taxing system. One shrewd obse.Ter has commented that a year of Brl taln'a taxee In the United States would Just about wipe out our deficit. A governmental expert who has Just returned from two months In Europe Is highly indignant at the news European newspapers are print ing about the United State.

( AP) An intensive search by police of the area around the Stoll country home today gave Indications of fear that Mrs. AHe Screed Stoll mignt have met death at the hands of the man who kidnaped her last Wednes day, leaving a $50,000 ransom de mand. The peace and quiet of the fashionable neighborhood, carefully arranged two days ago In order to allay any feara the kidnaper might hare of making contact, was sud denly broken by the roar of motors as squad cars rushed In, and an In tensive search was made. Asked whether the search was for the woman's body, for clues or for what, after a policeman had said the party might find the woman body. Dunlap Wakefield, Louisville director of safety, replied: "I can't say, ex cept that we are overlooking no clue.' Wakefield and others searched an abandoned house, poking under Its rotting floors and into Its cellar and attic, other officers swarmed through brush and woods and one said, "It's an all-dKy search: we'll keep at it till we find something." At a conference later officials said the "laps of time" since fhe Kid naping Wednesday had caused the decision that the search would be made. It was started nearly 20 hours af ter announcement that the kidnaper's requirement as to ransom had been met, and when there had been no reply from him o far as known and no Indication of Mrs. Stoll's rate. W. S. Kammerer, spokesman for the family, reiterated today that no con tact had been made, leaving the Im pression that all directions as to pay ment of the ransom had been given in the original kidnap note found on a bed In an upstairs room. Mrs. Stoll. who according to ner maid. Ann Woolet, resisted and or fered a check to the k'.dnaper, was struck on the head until blood came before she was taken from the house, and even then only cried "Let" go" when the man threatened to kill her husband.

Callng on the church to play an active role in the establishment of a new social order, the speaker said: "Those of us in the church have usually worked on the theory that If you made good the world Itself would also be good. But I believe we are beginning to recognize that not only must the Individual be made good but also the economic and social sys tem itself." (Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Press) PARIS, Oct. 13.
