Federals Expect Break Case Wide Open
Within Forty-eight Hours, As Search
Weyerhaeuser Abduc tors Near End
(By The Associated Press)
TACOMA, June 5, — The appearance of one of the ran
som bills at Huntington, Oregon, and a Portland police tip,
suggesting that a former Northwest bootlegger be question
ed, spurred the Department of Justice federal investigators
on the trail of the Weyerhaeuser abductors.
The present indication from sources in the “know” said
that the federate hoped to break the case wide open by to
morrow evening.
Several federal agents made mysterious trips by auto
from headquarters here and returned again without showing
any visible signs of physical hardship or work. One agent
said yesterday “the case should be broken wide open with
in the next forty-eight hours.”
They indicated that the kidnapers were probably mem
bers of one of the most powerful Northwest gangs. The ran
som bill at Huntington was taken by the station agent there
for a train fare to Salt Lake City. The agent said that the
man was evidently very nervous. It was a twenty dollar
bill with numbers corresponding to the serial numbers ob
tained by the police.
It is believed that the man never left Oregon because he
never arrived at Salt Lake. He probably dropped off the
train somewhere in between.

ANNOUNCES SKELETON
FORM NEW NR A WITH
LIKENESS BLUE EAGLE
President Tells Newsmen He Approves Of
Warner Labor Bill, Following Confer
ences On Future Control Industry
(By The Associated Press')
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5,
Apparently determined to have the nation decide on
the business control issues raised by the United States Su
preme Court, President Roosevelt Tuesday, proposed a
fragmentary stopgap extension of the NRA.
Announcing that an agreement had been won from dem
ocratic congressional leaders on the proposal, the Presi
dent outlined his plans for a code-less “skeleton organiza
tion’Lthat would keep business statistics and require gov
ernment contractors to live up to the minimum wage and
maximum hour standards.
President Roosevelt emphasized throughout his round
table extraordinary conferences with his cabinet and sen
ate and house leaders, that this projected shadow of the old
Blue Eagle machine, would not seek to enforce working
conditions and fair trade practices which existed under the
code structure abolished by the court’s decision.
Indicating that the administration would seek to prove
conditions under the old NRA, were better than would have
existed without it, the President disclosed one of the duties
of the fragmentary NRA, would be to list in parallel com
parative columns, statistics on industrial operations with
and without codes.
To newsmen who jammed every inch of his office late in
the day, the President noted to them that the National Lab
or Relations Board, and subordinate boards for settling la
bor disputes, had been abolished by the decision ot the
court, and then quickly, he gave his inferential approval
to the Wagner Labor Disputes Bill.
