Charge Two Men
From Lindbergh
fr ? ? ? ?
Prisoners Arrested At
Roanoke Held For At
tempt To Extort'Sum
Of $50,000
Roanoke, Va., Feb.* 9.?Two men
were arrested today and charged with
attempting to extprt $50,0" 0 from
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh by threats
of kidnapping his second son.
Joe Bryant, 19, and Norman Har
vey, 26, both residents of Roanoke,
were taken into custody shortly after
they attempted to cash a $17,000
check which police operatives, pos
ing as representatives of the famous
flier, had planted in a stump.
The second threat to Col. Lind
bergh "was made public less than
twelve months from the night his
first son was spirited away from his
crib and murdered in the Sour!and
Hills of New Jersey.
- Bryant and Harvey denied knowl
edge of threatening letters sent to
Col. Lindbergh and asserted they
did not have correspondence with
Robert C. Johnson, chief of the
Roanoke police identification bureau, ;
who registered at a local hotel and
posed as a representative of Coi. '
Lindbergh, depositing letters in a
hollow stump.
Mrs. Harvey, apprehended by po
lice when Harvey sought to get m
an automobile she occupied, was held
tonight for questioning.
Police here refused to divulge the
texts of the letters sent to Colonel
Lindbergh, threatening his second
baby, but later made public two of
them. They said the letters were
turned over to New Jersey police by
the Colonel and were referred to
Roanoke police by Federal authori
ties.
Captain Schwarzkopf, of New Jer
sey police, fcho turned - the letters
over to postal authorities, said he felt
the case here had no connection with
the kidnapping and subsequent slay
ing of the first Lindbergh child.
The letters will be turned over
tn l Tnit^t Stat*"? authorities, with
whom the local officials have been ..
working. C. E. Gentry, who was as
sistant United States Attorney here
when the letters were received early
in December, requested the Roanoke
police investigation.
Chief Johnson, using the name of
"John J. Jones," carried on corre
spondence with writers of the extor
tion notes and arranged to deposit
extortion money in the stump. They
reached an agreement to reduce the
amount to $25,000 and still later to
$17,000. No deposit was made, how
ever.
For 144 hours one or the other of
two Roanoke officers watched the
stump to catch the extortionists, but
without success. They stopped watch
ing and deposited more letters, which
disappeared. The final arrangements
were to leave a check for $17,000
and wait for the extortionists to take
it to a bank to have It cashed
Today Bryant walked into the bank
with the check. The teller, W. M.
Skelton, warned by police, stepped
back to the vault and telephoned
the officers. He then began tying
? ? * ? - L.
up some receipts, mamng a remars
about the size of the "big bills" that
were requested
Officers in plain clothes were wait
ing when he returned to the window
?the city hall is only a block away.
The package was pushed through.
"Thank you," said Bryant, as he i
walked away, smiling.
Chief Johnson and Special Officer
Howard Ferguson followed Bryant
from the bank. A block away he
was joined by Harvey and when
Harvey saw Johnson, he began to
run. The two went in different
directions, but were soon captured,
Harvey as he sought to get into a
ear occupied by his wife, Ethel, and
a small child
Specimens of Bryant's handwrit
ing were taken at police headquar
- tedt and Johnson, who is a hand
writing expert, expressed the opinion
thai it was that of the man who
"You thought you were striking
a gold mine, didnt yon?" Police
SnpatiBtendent J. L. Mararog asked.
The youth admitted thia, assert
ing he showed the letter to Hanegr.

Greenville, Feb. 9.?J. H. Blount of
ins city, in commenting on the pro
x?sed sales tax now before the Gen
eral Assembly as the means of balanc
ng the budget, says:
"It is better to have an unbalanced
mdget than to single out one class
is a means of relieving all others,
rhis proposed general sales tax can*
lot be passed on to the customer and
will jpean bankruptcy for thousands
yf merchants who are now barely
ible to keep their doors open. As
evidence of the present financial
stress of the merchants of tills State,
here are thousands of stores hi the
3 ties and towns either vacant or
? a' ' '
>arely able to pay sufficient rent toj
:over taxes on the property . The I -
:hief source of revenue to our cities i
ind largely to our eounties is from J
he ad valorem tax on store property.
Seventy-seven towns and thirty-four
ounties are now in default and this
s largely due to the inability of the
>wners of business property to meet *
heir taxes. Property in towns and J
ities carry a double burden?the pay
nent of taxes to the county and to
he city . The chain stores are hav
ng their burdens, too. Many of them
ire going into bankruptcy because of
heir inability to carry on with their i*
eases. This throws the property w
iack to the owners and with abso- n
utely no income therefrom. The **
axes, insurance and repairs on this *
iroperty make a burden greater than ^
le can carry. It is unfair to tax the **
uerchants as a class and thereby re
ieve large corporate interests that 11
loid lands and property in this State, h
f it is necessary for us to have a
tales tax, it is much more desirable
o have one in the form of a selected hi
commodities tax on certain articles P1
vhich can be passed on to the con- ^
turner. Included in these articles h>
jot be the necessities of life. The ^
nerchants are willing to share their 03
>art of the burden, but it would be
grossly unfair to undertake to raise e;
he larger portion of the revenue h'
efficient to balance the budget
rom a gross sales tax. aj
The merchants of our state are '?
iependent for their success on in- C1
iustry and agriculture. With indus- 21
ry idle and the farmers getting very c'
ittle for their products, the. roer- ?
hants ure naturally seriously af- S1
lected and they are all in the same 0
:lass. The laborer is out of work
md the farmers are unable to meet "
?xpenses. If this burden is placed ?
ipon the merchants, it will mean
hat thousands of stores will close 11
vithin the next year. Especially will p
his be true of our border-line mer- &
:hants who will be forced to sell ?
heir merchandise higher than their a
:ompetitors across the line, or close ^
heir doors . The masses of the j ~
people of North Carolina are not I
soiifg to stand for a tax of this I
rind when there are corporations 'in
the state still making as much
noney as they ever did, and yet
ire not sharing this burden of tax
ition in the way in which they J
should. The people are alert to the
situation and are informed as they
tiave never been before, and the
- Liit ? n ; 1 A
lawmakers of tnis uenerai aw?ii
bly will have to give an accounting
to those who sent them there as jj
their representatives for the stand v
which they take in this crisis." ' j

t
Washington, Feb. 8.?Out of a busy
day of committee work on farm relief (
measures there emerged tonight the '
indication that no less than three sep
arate bills would be reported to the :
Senate by the middle of next week. (
While several details remained to
be worked out, a banking sub-corn- *
mittee struggling with the farm
mortgage problem reached virtual 1
agreement upon the Huil p'an
' which would use $500,000,006 of Ac-d
eral credit to postpone foreclosures :
for two years.
Members of the agriculture com- 1
mittee predicted that t\? Smith bill [
designed to cut down j 038 cotton ]
production by 3,500,000 ( >3 through '
an ingenious government cotton 1
pool plan would be reported favor- [
? ably on Saturday and the domestic 1
. allotment bill early next week. *
Senators backing the Smith and 1
Hull bills have hope of shoving them
> through to enactment at the present
? session as emergency measures, al- '
though realiring that time is grow- ,
ing short and that they have yet
to receive the approval of either
house.
Few, if any, believe, however, that '
the allotment plan, passed by the
1 House, will become a law this ses- 1
1 sion in view of the reported oppo
sition of President Hoover and the
! difficulty of over-riding a. veto.
Nevertheless, the agriculture com

Washington, Feb. 8.?-Elimination
>f more than two score instances in
vhich it found the government un
ustifiahly competing with private
>rivate business was recommended
? the House today by a special com
nittee.
The preliminary report by the com
nittee on government competition
pith private business said its nation
vide survey had delevoped "at least
!32 items of trade, industry, and per
nnnl onH THvfusainnf! lorvico
ly the governmental competition for
vhich redress is sought"
As a meaanre of relief, it proposed
changes ranging from a discontinue
ince of farm board stabilization
>perations to an increase in parcel
>ost rates.
.'The committee agreed unanimously
n.27 recommendations. Cox (D. Ga.)
lisapproved some of the farm board
iroposals as well as,one for the sale
if the inland waterways barge line.
Besides sale of the barge line, the
ommittee proposed:
Discontinuance of parcel post soli
itations by postmasters, and higher
?ates to pay the cost of the service.
Abolishment of army transport and
3anama railroad ship service.
Discontinuance of farm board stabi
ization operations; more close and
lireot supervision of agricultural co
iperatives; identical interest rates of
ederal loans to cooperatives and pri
vate middlemen and a limitation of

heir members.

is those outside reservations.
Cessation of the manufactures of

Limitation of prison production to
foods that are non competitive.
Use of private hospitals for veter
ms.
Discontinuance of Warehousing.
Numerous other minor activities al
so were protested.
As a whole the committee felt that
ts evidence "indicates that the
operations of the federal government
a the field of private enterprise
oave reached a magnitude which
hreatens to reduce private initia
tive, curtail the opportunities and
infringe upon the earning powers of
tax-paying undertakings while-stead

jf the Smith plan urged by Senators
Seorge, (D., Ga., and Connally (D.,
Texas.)
As presented by them in detail,
with the aid of Senator Smith (D.,
S. C.), its "sponsor and ranking mi
nority member of the committee, it
provides for assembling in a pool
ill the cotton controlled by the fed
eral farm board or other govern
ment agencies, as the first step.
The government then would Invite
cotton producers who are willing to
cut their 1933 production 30 per
tent to take an opt'on on an amount
of the pooled cotton equal to the
quantity which they agreed to forgo
planting.
This option would entitle the
farmer, in effect, to buy the cotton
at the present market price, wilhont
putting up any money, and then, cm
August 15, to sell, it, keeping the
difference expected to result from a
price rise as his profit.
Smiling broadly after the com
mittee meeting, Senator Smith said ,
he was confident the measure would
be reported favorably on Saturday ^

part of Western Senators in the com
mittee on the practicability of apply
