Organize World Police Force in Fight on Crime Illinois Consolidates Officers in At tack on Racketeering Cen ter Efforts. A worldwide organization "the international world police" was formed in Chicago Friday night to aid in eradicating criminals while police and federal authorities in the United States sought victims of two sensational kidnapings and a third abduction was reported. Folice conferees from over the world will elect officers for the new organization and leave details of the organization to committees. The or ganization's purpose is to co-ordinate police efforts over the world and "to expedite police information pertain ing to international crime and inter national criminals. Illinois organized its law enforc ing officers to begin a frontal attack on kidnaping racketeers. More than three hundred sheriffs, chiefs of po lice and state's attorneys approved a proposal of Governor Horner for unit ed action. Two Still Missing. Two men, Charles F. Urschel, Oklahoma City oil millionaire, and John J. O'Donnell, jr., of Albany, N. Y., apparently were still in the hands of their captors. In San Antonio, Tex., Adolph Galle, a parking lot operator, report ed to police he was released early Friday by kidnapers who held him captive and forced him to sign three bank checks. The new world police organization was formed at a meeting of Amer ican, Canadian and European police officials attending conference spon sored by Barron Collier, special de puty police commissioner of New York, the international police con ference and the International Asso ciation of Chiefs of police.

President Roosevelt is determined to throw the full force of government behind the war on armed crime. Aroused by the per sistent run of kidnapings, he wants a super-relief force of federal agent3 to assist local and state authorities. . Already a staff is at work in the department of justice. Millions ot dollars and more men are contem plated seriously by the administra tion to beat down the traffic In hu man life. Attorney General Cum mings is working out a legislative plan to give the federal government greater power. .He is ready with some details. An early conference with the chief executive is in pros pect. Effects of the federal attacks are in evidence in the rounding up of criminals in the midwest who have been identified in recent kidnapings. Mr. Roosevelt realizes that the con stitution virtually restricts police powers to the states but he has in mind a federal force which may be called into action at the request of state and local authorities. Tenant Farmers are to Share in Wheat Payments Won't Lose Allotment by Changing Farms This Fall, Accord ing to M. L. Wilson. Growers who planted or produced wheat for the 1933 crop will receive adjustment payments under the triple A wheat plan this year, even tho they are tenants and move this fall, according to M. L. Wilson, chief of the wheat production section of the agricultural adjustment administra tion in Washington. This statement was interpreted by the - "triple A" wheat plan ad ministrators at the Nebraska agri cultural college as a move by Wilson to stop the plans of a few landlords who are thinking of changing ten ants immediately in order to get all the benet payments for themselves. "The administration is beginning a three year wheat reduction plan,' Wilson continued. "The payment this fall is for the 1933 crop. Nature did the reducing this year. The wheat administration will help farmers in the next two yars to hold the gains made this year. "The problem is. fairly simple where tenants do not change on a rented farm. The landlord and ten ant agree to reduce their acreage and the payment is divided between them according to the share each gets of the crop. "The big problem arises when the tenant is moving from the farm this fall, as some are already planning. Here the payment for 1933 must be between the landlord and the tenant who farmed the land in 1933. Benefit Goes With Land. "Suppose a tenant has 320 acres of wheat in 1933. His share is two- thirds of the crop and his average an nual production is 3.200 bushels. The owner decides to change tenants in 1934. He and the new tenant agree to reduce the acreage to 256 acres in 1934, if that reduction is re quired. "Thetotal 1933 payment of about $450 will be divided between the owner and the 1933 tenant, with the tenant getting $300 and the landlord $150, paid in fall and spring install ments. "The allotment right is attached to the land and the owner must see that succeeding tenants fulfill the contract. The owner receives his shareshare each year, and the re mainder goes to the tenant who owns the crop on which payment is based. The tenant who farms the land for the 1934 crop will receive his share of such payments as are made on that crop." LEGION MEMBER SAYS THAT MEMBERS BACK ROOSEVELT Auburn, Neb., July 28. Robert M. Armstrong, department command er of the American Legion, issued a statement Friday saying that the members of the American Legion in Nebraska "are unanimously in sup port of the great constructive pro gram of the president" for economic recovery. He added "every classification ot business and labor is included in the ranks of members. The legion has devoted much time and energy to problems of unemployment and re lief. Thousands of members have been out of work and suffered busi ness reverses. "We recognize that the economic emergency today calls for the same lcyal and unselfish patriotic service and co-operation as in the war days of 1917 and 191S." GOD? IPaifftt We've signed, we've pledged! We'll co-operate in every way. ytfe're for You, Mr. President STORE HOURS Mon. to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm Saturday 8 am to 10 pm MEETING JUST EXPERIMENT New York. Senator James Couz ens returned from London and said the world economic conference was "obviously an experiment, and only the future will be able to determine what, if any, of the work will be of world benefit." "When I left," said the only re publican member of the American delegation, "I made the statement that, if nothing came out of the con ference, I would return a rabid iso lationist. While I am disappointed at the outcome, I am not willing to ad mit that the conference was a total failure, and therefore I am willing to contribute my efforts to a better international co-operation." The .Michigan multimillionaire said his visit to London might well be described as the education of James Couzens. "I learned," he said, "about international relations from them." No decision was made, the senator said, as to when the conference would reconvene, if it does. The action of the plenary session. Senator Couzens said, "indicates that it will be left to what the League of Nations calls a bureau, and what we generally call in this country a steering commit tee. Our country is represented on this bureau by Secretary of State Hull, who has faithfully attended all the meetings, and I am perfectly will ing to leave it to him to decide wheth er the conference is likely to meet again." SALEM LANDMARK BURNED Salem, Neb. Theola Salem land mark, a building occupied by the C. M. Downey hardware store and the Virgil Emmert blacksmith shop, was destroyed Thursday afternoon by a fire of undetermined origin which did damage amounting to several thousand dollars.

Nebraska farmers will probably make wide use of the trench silo again this fall in putting up rough age for winter use, says Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the Nebraska agricul tural college. "The best insurance for salvag ing damaged corn is the Eilo," Gram lich declares. "The trench offers something that is relatively new and easy to build at little cash outlay. Since there is a shortage of hay, livestock men will need the rough age to carry their stock thru the win ter months." Tho above ground silos used to be popular in Nebraska, many farmers have come to use the trench, that costs but little. It is estimated that over 2,000 of these were used dur ing the past year. All users have re ported satisfactory servcie. Usually farmers find it advisable to dig their trenches ten to twleve feet wide with the side walls sloping in slightly, with a narrower bottom. In depth they usually range from six to ten feet. One of the big advan tages of the trench is the case with which ensilage can be packed. Horses make good packers. A team driven back and forth does a good job of packing the ensilage. To Save Poor Corn. Gramlich says ensilage is a good livestock feed, even tho made from damaged crops. Cattle do well on it thru the winter months. In tests conducted at the college of agricul ture in Lincoln, steers have gained around 1 1-2 pounds per day upon a feed of ensilage supplemented with a little alfalfa hay. The college of agriculture animal husbandry head says there is at least one. field of corn on every farm which falls short of making a good crop. Usually it is worth more in the form of ensilage than in any other form. Late planted corn could well be used for ensilage, Gramlich says. Some Nebraska farmers also use cane to a good advantage as an en silage crop. They have found, how ever, that it should be well matured when cut. Sudan grass makes splen did ensilage and should be grown in rows in order to cut and handle effi ciently. Even atlas sorgo has been used with success by livestock pro ducers as an ensilage crop. The plant, developed at the Kansas ex perimental station, is fairly well adapted to southern and central Ne braska conditions. SLASHES COLLEGE BUDGETS Oklahoma City. Governor Murray slashed heavily into what he calls the "frills" of college education, direct ing major reductions in the budgets of the physical education, music and law branches of the University ol Oklahoma for the three fall months. "That's enough fiddlers," he observed, whacking the violin department from a requested $1,160 to $600. "This seems sufficient for holding ball games," he added, slicing the depart ment of physical education to $730. It had asked $1,363. Numerous well known members of the law school faculty were slashed to a maximum of $300 a month for the first quarter, while most of the athletic faculty will get a maximum of $150 a month. Ben G. Owen, di rector of athletics, was cut from $209 to $150 altho he gets an additional stepend from the Athletic associa tion. Hugh McDermott, basketball coach was cut from $332 to $150; John Jacobs, track coach, from $332 to $150; Paul Keen, wrestling coach, from $240 to $140, and Bruck Drake, instructor, from $240 to $140. ROOSEVELT SMOOTHES BUT Washington. Persistent reports of serious differences of opinion be tween Secretary Hull and Assistant Secretary Moley of the state depart ment while about Washington, but they bounced back Friday from the white house as it was stated unoffi cially but authoritatively that Moley will continue in his present post. President Roosevelt appears to have smoothed over the first serious rift in his official family. He has been in frequent consulta tion with Moley, his intimate adviser before entering the white .house, since the return of the assistant secretary from the London economic confer ence. He has yet to talk with Secre tary Hull, now en route home, but it ws confidently stated the present setup in ths state, department is ex pected to continue. "Happy Landings, Cowboy!"

Militant Mood Now is Spreading Over the Country Kidnapers, Bandits and Gunmen are Arousing Public President Calls for Action. Washington, July 28. On a dozen fronts the agencies of federal govern ment fought crime today. At Washington, at Albany, in the middle west and on the Pacific coast there were new evidences of determi nation to crush the kidnap breed. President Roosevelt let it be plain ly known he desires established a reliable force of federal agents to step in and check the growth of organized crime, especially kidnaping. Governors of states, meeting in San Francisco, added their voices to de mands for action. Federal Aid to Limit Attorney General Cummings assert ed today after a conference with President Roosevelt, that whatever money is needed will be spent by the government to beat down kidnaping rackets. - "The fight has to be won; we are going ahead to the limit," he avowed. It was revealed that organization of some kind of national police force is underconsideration a modified form of Scotland Yard. President Roosevelt assured police representatives of various nations of his support for organization of an in ternational bureau to combat crime. The men who called at the White House represented the International Criminal Police Division, the Inter national Association of Chiefs of Po lice and the International Police Conference. The group convenes In conference at Chicago tomorrow. Public's Wrath in Evidence In several parts of the country there were definite signs today that public indignation against criminals was having results. Roger Touhy and three men classified as members of his Chicago gang, are held at Mil waukee on charges growing out of the William Hamm, Jr., kidnaping in St. Paul. A former convict on trial in Kansas City for the kidnaping last May, of Mary McElroy, daughter of the city manager, has just been con victed and sentenced to be hung. At St. Louis, authorities told of a con fession that they hope will speed so lution of the kidnaping of August Luer. of Alton, 111., July 11. Elsewhere there was other evidence of public wrath against the recent successful forays of criminals. The director of the department of public safety of Indiana called for the orga nization of modern "minute men" in every community. These groups would spring Into action at first word of any crime and by the use of com munication systems, operating thru a central station, would draw a net tightly around the fleeing despera does. Fight Gunmen and Bandits Mayor Kelly, of Chicago, called on the police to rid the city of gunmen following the recent slaying of three officers. In Morrison, Tenn., citizens fought bank robbers, an evidence of public determination to drive out crime. One member of the posse was killed and iwp men were captured. - " Despite the attack on crime by these several agencies, acts of vio lence showed no 6igns of abating. Two men still are In the hands of kid napers Lieut. John J. O'Ccunell. Jr., of Albany, N. V., and Charles F. Urs chel, of Oklahoma City. The first has Omaha Dy Product 28th and M St. So.

The abductors of thclat ter have not, so far as has been an nounced, communicated any de mands. At Boston, Theodore C. Haffenref fer, head of one of New England's largest breweries, was cloHcly guard ed today from those who attempted to extort $15,000 under threat of death. The brewer was in seclusion at a South Hampton, N. H., summer home. AIMEE TO ALLOW DIVORCE Chicago. David L. Hutton, oue time singer of religious song grown stage conscious, apparently can ob tain his divorce from hl3 evangelist wife without opposition. Mrs. Aimeo Semple McPherson Hutton arrived here on her way to the west coast and her flock at Angelus temple, shook her golden head and sighed. Regarding the divorce action brought against her, she said: "1 could sue successfully on grounds of non-support but that is not a Biblo reason. You know the Bible is quite plain about grounds for divorce. So I am not inclined to fight the suit. David and I have been away from each other for six months but in all that time I had daily letters and cables protesting his love." Informed of David's introductory statement to his vaudeville audience at Los Angeles "You know I married an angel," Mrs. Hutton smiled. "And I thought he was an angel when I married him. I hope he doesn't be come a fallen angel." LOST RING LOST Diamond dinner ring. Finder please write or call J, co Journal office. $5.00 reward offered for its return. Jy24-2td DE VUGE PLAY SAFE!
