ordered a description of the baby
given .to all 6,000 Chicago police.
Detectives held various -theories
as to the motive for the abduc-
tion.
Ransome was out of the ques-
tion, because the father, Herman,
is a carnet repairman- of no
meins. Chief importance was
given to these alternatives:
1. That Qiane was taken by a
deranged woman with an ex-
aggerated mother complex—per-
haps some woman who had lovt
her own baby.
2: That the baby was seized by
a jenlous former sweetheart of
Lucas in revenge.
Whatever the motive, Capt.
Patrick O’Connell of the Town
Hall Police Station believed the
baby , would be returned as soon
as the kidnaper learned of the
search.

GENEVA,„Aug. 24 (UP).—The
threat of a major international
• clash in the Mediterranean arose
today after another mysterious
attack on a freighter—the 14th
within the last three weeks—
and Spain’s formal protest to the
League of Nations that Italy's
Navy was waging an open war
on Loyalist ships.
Great Britain’s first reaction
to the latest Mediterranean inci-
dent was to cancel the sailing of
the third destroyer Flotilla for
the Far East.
Britain will keep three Flotillas
in the Mediterranean to track
down "pirates” who have at-
conflagration.”

HELEN WILLS MOODY
IS GRANTED DIVORCE
Prior to the uncheon confer-
ence, the president scheduled a
15-minute visit with Rep. Mar-
vin Jones, D., Tex., Chairman of
the House Agriculture Com-
mittee.
One of the chief reasons for a
special session this November or
December would be considera-
tion of a erop surplus control law.
Oninlon persisted that the
president would summon the
.Senate and House into a special
session. One cabinet member and
congressman who have talked
with the president since adjourn-
ment left the White House ex-
pressing the "personal opinion”
that there will be a special ses-

Tax Money
(Continued from Page 1)
Harris County road plan—For,
13,900; against, 9,720.
Reports had been received from
59 counties, nearly all incomplete.
The welfare amendments do not
need enabling acts. Such acts
were passed to take effect if yes-
terday's election was favorable
to aid to blind adults and de-
pendent children. The appropria-
tions alone are needed to make
them effective.
Preliminary estimates made by
the welfare divjsjon of the State
Board of Control indicate $360,-
000 a year will be needed to pay
the maximum aid to adult blind.
The maximum is $15 a month.
It is estimated there are 36,000
dependent children. The existing
acts puts a limit of $1,500,-
000 a year on the expenditure
for that sort of aid.
Another $2,000,000 a year will
be asked as the State contribu-
tion to match teacher retirement
fund payment bv th teachers. It
is estimated 45,000 teachers can
participate by contributing to the
fund. It is possible that school
janitors and other employes of
school districts may also be held
eligible.
Chairman Claude Teer of the
•bard of Control said investiga-
tions indicate that $3,500,000 ad-
ditional appropriation will be
needed the first year and $2,-
Soo,ooo the following year for
old ago assistance on a very re-
stricted budget.
The board also supervises re-
lief but has approximately $400,-
oqb still avaiable to continue
distribution of surplus con-
modites and its other activities.
Adam Johnson, who has peen
head of relief is expected to head
the new welfare section of the
board of control which will also
supervise aid to blind and to chil-
dren.
Beside the foregoing requests
the board of control will ask the
legislature for $150,000 or $200,-
000 to begin operation of the new
West Texas hospital at Big
Spring.
The hospital is to be ready
for occupancy Sept. 1, 1938. The
next regula" session'of the legis-
lature will be in January 1939.
The board does not want to take
a chance that there may be no
special session after the Septem-
ber session this year so will ask-
money to open the hospital on its
completion. There is already need
for th 540 patient accommoda-
tions it will provide, Teer said.
Must Pay Offieais
Legislators will also face the
task of raising $640,000 already
due officials under ths salarx

Montague Welcomed
By Home-Town Folk
ELIZABETHTOWN, N. Y.,
Aug 24 (UP)—In the custody of
thiee New York officials, John
Montague, stocky Hollywood
mystery golfer, was returned to
this Adirondack Mountan village
of 600 persons today to face a
seven year old robbery charge.
A Japanese navy communique
asserted that four Japanese pur-
suit planes repulsed 27 Chinese
fighting planes over Pchan" at
the mouth of the Yangtze, not
far from the President Piera’s an-
chorage.
It was asserted that several
Chinese planes were shot down in
a 30 minute fight, while the Jap- 1
anese planes returned safely,. ।
It was disclosed today that Ja-
pan had sent one of her toughest
soldiers as commander in chief
of the (combined forces here—Gen-
Iwane UMatsui.
After paying tribute to the
courage of the Chinese soldiers,
he admitted that the Japanese had
lost more than 100 men in yes-
terday's landing operations and
added that the casualty list was •
not complete "because we landed
men at so many places and have
not yet received reports from all
units.”
Land Mines Effective
Most of the Japanese casualties —
he said, were caused by Chinese I
land mines which were exploded
while the Japanese were moving
into battle positions.
Gen. Matsui refused to say how •
many troops he had or to desig-
nate the units.
Asked in what circumstances . I
the Japanese would be willing to Au ,
stop their attack, he referred ▼
questioners to a Japanese embas-
sy spokesman who said that the
Chinese had not attempted any
negotiations since August 14 and
added that there could be no
peace until Chinese changed their
atitude and ceased “provocative"
acts. ,
