FEDERAL COURTROOM, TACOMA.
Wash., July 11. (AP) ...Ine-year-old
George Weyerhaeuser testified in Mrs.
Margaret Thulln Waley's kidnap and
conspiracy trial today that while held
in the Spokane hideout house, "I put
my fingers all around th wall."
Qovrnment agents testified that
one of the waya they knew he had
been held there was the discovery of
one of George's thumb prints on a
closet wall.
The lad testified about leaving his
prints on the wall in answer to a di
rect question by U. 8. Attorney J.
Charles Dennis.
"While you were in the house the
closet did you mark anything on the
walls?" asked Dennis.
Puta Fingers on Wall
"Yes. I put my fingers all around
the wall." said George.
Government agents had testified
to finding his finger prints In the
closet. .
Dennis grasped a piece of timber
about six and a half let long, with
two chains and padlock fastened to
It. He carried the timber and clink
ing chains to tha witness stand.
The boy said he saw It In the first
hole.
"They chained me to It," he said
simply.
"Do you remember hearing a wom
an's voice In the Spokane house?"
George answered that he did. Ho
said "it seemed to come from the
back door."
sv.He told of being carried from place
to place tn a trunk on the back of
an automobile.
Woman Not Seen
The kidnap victim said from the
witness stand he did not see Mrs.
Margaret Thulln Waley during the
time the government charges she, her
husband and William Dalnatd held
him for $100,000 ransom.
United States District AUorney J.
Charles Dennis, after George and
seven succeeding witnesses testified,
informed the court he believed the
government would re.t its case ex
cept "possibly it might call several
witnesses to clarify one or two de
tails, after the noon recess."
John F. Dore, chief defense counsel,
was highly pleased by George's failure
to Identify Mrs. Waley, as one of the
kidnapers. Out of court, Dore said:
"George wrecked their claim about
their Idaho trip. In her purported
confession they have her saying that
George got out of the car at one place
and George said today they went to
Elk."
To .Move Acquittal
Dore said that aa soon as the gov
ernment rested he would move for a
d'rected verdict of acquittal on the
ground "they have failed to produce
enough evidence, particularly about
the trip Into Idaho.'
The government's charge against
Mrs. Waley of kidnaping and con
spiring to kidnap the Weyerhaeuser
boy Is based upon the allegation he
was transported In Interstate com
merce between Washington and Idaho.
During examination of George, Den
nis suddenly turned and stepped to
ward Mrs. Waley.
"George, you never saw this lady
here, during that trip?" Dennis asked,
pointing at Mrs. Waley.
"No," the little witness answered.

FEDERAL COURTROOM. TACOMA.
Wash.. July 11. JP The little bar
red receiving cell In Marshal A. J.
Chltty'a office suite was the scene of
ardent love-making all through the
noon recess of the George Weyer
haeuser kidnap trial today.
Reunited for the first time since
June 21 when Harmon M. Waley. 24.
pleaded guilty to the kidnap Indict
ment and was sentenced to 45 years
Imprisonment. Waley and his 19-year-old
wife Margaret, clung to each
other, hugging and kissing while
Deputy Marshal Lillian Holts sat out

They were apparently oblivious to
Mrs. Holtn. .
Mrs. Waley la on trial and her hus

here from McNeil Island federal
prison.
The Waley's gave each other an
ardent greeting tljla morning, when
they met to confer with Mrs. WayV
attorneys. Then she had to go into
court for the morning session of
hearing George Weyerhaeuser tell his
story of the 'snatch.
When she was returned to the lit

said she flew Into his arms, climbed
on his lap and they resumed the
love-making which Intrigued specta

two pits, fitted with chains, in which
he said he was kept; and views of
the Inside of the "hideout house"
where he was held In Spokane.
Before taking the witness stand.
George had sat at the counsel table
holding hands with Special Agent E.
J. Connelly of the department of
Justice, and playing an Impromptu
game of tug of war with a red lead
pencil aa the 'rope.'

When Mrs. Waley, on trial for kid
naping and conspiracy to kidnap him,
came Into the courtroom, flushed and
smiling happily after a reunion with
her husband In U. S. Marshal A. J.
Chitty's office, she looked once at
the lad and he avoided her gaze.
When she turned her htd and faced
the Judge, however, Oeorge began
darting quick glances at her.
Soon he turned around and faced
her with long slow glances, licking
his lips. She appeared oblivious of
his stares.
Suddenly Dennis arose and said
simply, "George."
The youngster hopped 'out of his
chair and aproached the bar, the
crowd leaning forward breathlessly.
Dennis put one arm around his
shoulders and Instructed him to raise
his right hand. When the oath was
administered, he answered It with
two quick little nods, a smile on his
babyish mouth and a low but clear
"yes."

BY AGITATION FOR
TEST
SALEM, July 11. (AJ) District
Attorney William H. Trlndle of Mar
lon county today refused to be a
party to court proceedings to test
the right of Governor Martin to hold
his executive position In the state.
In a formal opinion concerning the
request by certain citizens for the use
of his ofrice to institute the test suit.
Trlndle held among other things that
the courts were without Jurisdiction
to test the question, but that It was
up to the legislature to decide.
It was understood that the gV--er-nor's
Tight to hold his position was
to be contested on the grounds that
he was already receiving pay from
the federal government as a retired
army offlcor.
Governor Martin himself was not
concerned with the reports of at
tempts to Induce the district attor
ney to bring quo warranto proceed
ings to test the legality of his salary
as governor while drawing pay as a
retired officer of the United States
army.
"The people of Oregon elected me
to serve as governor with a full
knowledge that I was on the retired
list of officers of the army and as
such was and still am drawing my
retirement pay," the governor said.
"Never was there any secret made
of the fact that I was drawing this
retirement pay. In fact several at
tempts were made to make It an Is
sue In the campaign of last fall. I am
satisfied with the verdict of the peo
ple, but If there Is any question as
to the law In the matter I will wel
come any proceeding which may be
Instituted to determine the matter
conclusively."
The governor refused to be drawn
Into any discussion of the motives of
those who were beeklng to unseat him
through a resort to technicalities of
the law.
"I am assuming, he said, "that my
critics have reasonable grounds upon
which to presume that there is a
question as to my eligibility to hold
the office of governor while drawing
army retirement pay. If that Is true
It should be determined at once. I
neither wish to evade or avoid the
law."

Foreign Secretary Samuel
Hoare Pledges Efforts to
Secure Peace Amcrican
Cooperation Is Invited
LONDON. July 11. (ff) Sir Samuel
Hoare. British foreign secretary,
speaking before an Intent bouse of
commons, today decried Italy's sea
sons for warring upon Ethiopia,
pledged Britain to continue efforts
for pence, defended her past efforts
and. In passing. Indirectly Invited
Anglo-American cooperation In world
problems.
Even aa the foreign secretary de
livered his formal review of the na
tion's recent foreign policy, the Brit
ish government waa reported holding
up export licenses for arms and mu
nitions shipments to Ethiopia.
Assailing "wild statements" In the
Italian press concerning Britain' ef
forts to avert war In Africa, sir Sam
uel mid ,,hla government was con
cerned only with peaceful settlement
of the Italo-Ethlopian crisis lest war
have serious effects upon collective
peace systems and the League of Na
tions. CauM Insufficient.
He recognized Italy's need for over
seas expansion, though he declared
that need and Italy's complaints
against Ethiopia Insufficient cause
for war, and pledged that England
would not abandon "any reasonable"
chance which may ofrer Itself for
helping prevent a disastrous war."
Sir Samuel refused to divulge the
lines being adopted toward this end.
but he, nevertheless, assured the leg
islators that there waa no founda
tion for rumors that the government
had asked the French to Join a block
ade against Italy or that Great Brlt
alnwas preparing "some isolated form
of coercion."
Ho said Great Britain waa willing
to accept her full share of collective
responsive fidelity to the League of
Nations and lta principles.
"But when I say collective responsi
bility," the foreign secretary empha
sized, "I mean collective responsi
bility." Reviewing recent development In
Britain's foreign policy. Sir Samuel
said relations with the United States
were excellent and doubtless would
remain so. Without fiolng into ex
planations, he added these remark
No Offers Marie by V. 8.
"tt has sometimes been suggested,
however, that the United States made

There la no foundation for this criti
cism. We have refused no offer for
no offers have been made us.
"I need hardly add that, If offers
of cooperation are made us, they will
always find a friendly welcome."
While distinguished foreigners
packing the diplomatic galleries lis

ically: "While attaching full value to
Analo-Amerlcan cooperation, we must
not expect more from our American
friends than we are able to con
tribute." Well-informed sources said today
that the British government was
holding up granting of export li
censes for the shipment of muni

The statement was taken as an

McNary Advises PWA Re
striction On Spending Per
Man Lifted Makes Pos
sible Saving in Total Cost
SALEM. Ore., July 11. (AP) Word
from Senator Charles L. McNary last:
night that restrictions on the amount
of money spent per man In the con
struction of the state capltol would
be lifted in the proposed PWA grant
for the building, will now make fed
eral funds possible, state officials
here today declared.
It was previously stated by Gov
ernor Martin that should the re
strictions on the grant be placed as
It first proposed the building would
cost 83.000.000 Instead of the pro
posed 83.500.000. A study of the re
strictions today revealed the gover
nor a figures were more optlmlstto
than at first believed.
Restrictions on obalnlng money
would result in the capltol costing
3.8 times as great as under an effi
cient business proposal, and would
require the employment of 11 times
as many men as under normal con
ditions. The structure, in other
words, would cost 80.334,000, and re
quire employment of 3,700 men for
three years.
The survey made by a technical
expert at the capltol, whose name of
ficials withheld, shows construction
under the basis of 81.140 per man per
jea. urwuuna and impossible. Pre
suming the cost of the structure waa
83.500,000, 70 per cent would be re
quired for materials and 30 per cent
on labor.
The aurvey revealed the average
wage rate under normal times would
be 85 cents an hour. The govern
ment regulations could not permit
that wage and still provide the re
quire 1,560 hours per man per year.
In addition, the number -of men.
would have to be increased to pro
vide more funds with which to buy
materials. The report Indicates why
Qovornor Martin was reluctant in ap
plying for federal aid. With restric
tions removed, however, the building
can be constructed aa under normal
conditions, the governor said.

SANTA M0XICA, Cal., July

simweil up in the papers yester
day. Something we hadn't
heard of in bo long that it

he is, but he was a "useful fel

name, spelled b-u-d-g-e-t, pro
nounced budget.
