"PXGE EIGHT CAPTURED BANDIT PLEADS GUILTY IN BREffi KIDNAP (Continued from Page One.) .W Important Highway Inter sections Guarded In Ef fort To Catch Tan Sedan Which Outsped Officers. PENDLETON, Ore., June 3 (AP Kidnapers of young George Weyer haeuser, If they are In this eastern Oregon district, will have to remain In hiding considerably longer If they hope to again traverse the main highways of the state without run ning amack Into the guns of a rig id and determined trap set by state police and deputies of Umatilla county. Although becoming increasingly convinced that the much-sought tan sednn of the Umatilla area aped from the district be!ore the drag net could be established, police were taking no chances today and impor tant intersections of the through highways were still heavily guarded. Officers Dlstantrd Tno sedan which eastern Oregon officers are so anxious to locate was clocked at over BO miles an hour when It paa&ed two deputy sheriffs on the Wallula cutoff east of Uma tilla last Saturday afternoon. It contained six men, the deputies said. It has not been reported seen since It pawed Cold Springs, between Umatilla and Wallula- and all Indi cations have pointed to the possi bility it turned off Into the craggy country after out-distancing the of ficers. It appeared Just 11 hours af ter young Wcyerhaeftuer was releas ed approximately 275 mllea north west. State police and deputies, occu pying live cars yesterday combed the hilly sagebrush area for signs of the oar for several hours without avail. No back-country resident could be found who had Been the machine. But police who know of the hinter land north of Umatilla county heavy wheat land admit there are "plenty of spots" In which a car and a half dozen men could hide out aafely for several weeks, even from a search by air. Sedan at I mat ilia The car was never seen to pass through Walla Walla or Pasco, nor thern points on the two main roads to which the sedan had access from the Wallula cutoff. Several residents of Umatilla declared the car passed through that city at more than 80 mtles an hour. Its starting point 1 stilt a mystery, a close check of all ferries east of The Dalles revealing no indication that the sedan had crossed from the Washington aide ol the Columbia. Sub-machine guns and automatic ttllea were carried in handy posi tion In all county and state offi cers' cars today as the stolid and determined vigil continued. Theories aa to the missing ma chine are rampant, but none seem more probable than that Ita tre mendous speed carried It farther north on main roads before the blockade waa started. One officer who declined to be quoted expressed the opinion the car waa a decoy of the real kidnap ers. Another attributed It quick disappearance to the um of rapidly drying paint used as a dtagulne. Some still profens to believe the ma chine la atlll in the hills. But the latter are in the minority. Other Happening Mtlfy Interest In the grim man-hunt in this section la intensified by mem oxiea of the kidnapers William Ed vard "The PVx" Hickman, whone capture took place near here waa effected by Sheriff Tom Clurdane and State Traffic Officer Buck Meu allen In 1927. But Indications are the present chase will not be aa suc cessful. Several things still remain to be cleared up. however, including the , mystery plane which panned over Pendleton a few minutes after the regularly-scheduled ship Saturday nlpiht. coming from the direction the car was last seen and heading en?t- A man who attempted to exchaiiRC a good suit of clothes for overalls )Mt week alfto la still In the minds of those interested In the chase here. But Interest primarily centers around the car. Where is it? If one of the most dopgiyt yet dlcournging man-hunts In the history of the northwest is succnw.fi;!, officers may vet find out.

(Associated Press Photo) ION A CURE IS CORVATXTS. Ore., June S. (AP) The possibilities of education aa a cure for unemployment were extolled by Dr. Daniel A. Poling, noted New York church leader and author. In hts address at the 66th annual com mencement at Oregon State college today. He concluded, too, that the Ameri can scheme of government Is the brat yet devised by man and contains with in Itself methods for its own perfec tion. A colorful ceremony with the tradi tional academic procession through tree-lined campus paths preceded the conferring of degrees on 377 gradu ates. No honorary degrees were con ferred this year, although four atu denta were given the degree of doctor of philosophy for the first time In the history of the college. "Education aa a cure for unemploy ment," he said, "comprehends not merely a symptom of a nattonal dis ease but Roes to the very root of In dustrial, social, cultural and moral causes." "If, as a national policy," he con tinued, "the average age for leaving school were raised to 17 years, then 2,145.1)50 young workers would be re moved from productive employment, and 652,753 persons would be removed from the unemployed and unattend ing school groups." Dr. Poling explained that If nil had an opportunity to continue through high school mora than four million more persons would be taken Trom the army of the unemployed, while If Junior colleges were the universal goal. It would affect more than eight million In addition to necessitating tncrenaed teaching staffs and greater demand for supplies and equipment." ELISSA'S ELOPEMENT WASHINGTON, June 8. (AP) J. P. T.
