WASHINGTON, Mar. 3—(UP)
—A difference of opinion over
the manufacturers sales tax rate is
temporarily holding up agreement
in the House Ways and Means
Committee on the new
dollar revenue bill.
Members were divided today as
to whether the rate should be two
or two-and-q-quarter per cent.
The former was recommended by
the subcommittee which drafted,
this section of the bill, but some
question was raised about the abil- j
ity of this rate to produce as much
revenue as anticipated.
This question is very important,
for what the committee does not
raise by the income, inheritance,
gift, and .sales taxes it must make
up in special excise taxes, men-

Some weeks ago a distressed
mother communicated with Mr.
E. F. Crim of the First Nation-
al Bank stating that she would
like to find good homes for
her five little children because
she iould not provide the nec-
essities of Uto for them.
The case was a pitiable one
but the unselfish devotion to
the children on the part of the
mother was such that struck a
tender chord. When the case
became public here three of the
little tots were placed in good
homes In and near Henderson.
Now comes another message
asking tor homes tor Anna, age
4, and June, age 5. The mother
stated In the message that she
was 111 and had no funds.
These two little girls can
brighten up some home where
there are no little ones, or per-
haps even in some homes
where there are already chil-
dren, one or both of them
might be wanted.
Anyone who is Interested In
providing a home for one or

furnished all Information about
them.

Cigarettes and tobacco valued
at $200 were stolen from the "M”
System store on West St. some
time aftbr 9 o’clock Tuesday night.
The theft was not discovered until
yesterday afternoon when rain
started pouring through the sky
light, which had been left open by
tne burglars.
Two and one-half cases of cig-
arettes, or 125 cartons, were found
missing after a check-up yester-
day. One carton of smoking tobac-
co was also stolen.
According to James Montgom-
ery, manager of the store, the
burglars gained entrance through
the skylight, removing a trap
door. Exit was made through the
back door.
Officers have no clues as to the
identity of the thieves.
Stores in this immediate vicin-
ity have been burglarized several
times in recent months. Among
these was the theft several weeks
ago of articles valued at $400
from Robertson’s Drug Store, then
located on West St.

HOPEWELL, N. J., Mar. 3
(UP)—An "inside job"—that is,
one engineered by persons with
close knowledge of family habits
and customs—was credited by
many today, Including Mrs.
Dwight Morrow, grandmother of
the kidnaped Charles A. Lind,
bergh, Jr., with responsibility for
the child’s seizure.
It developed that the Lindberghs
have been only week-ending re-
cently at their Sourland Mountain
estate and that they were at the
place Tuesday contrary to custom.
This, it was felt, must have been
known to the persons who did the
kidnaping.
“How could they have

The need for legislation making
kidnaping punishable by death or
other drastic penalties was stress-
ed in newspaper editorials on the
kidnaping of baby Charles Augus-
tus Lindbergh, Jr.
The Washington, D. C. Post
urged the death penalty. It said:
“This atrocious crime empha-
sises the need for legislation
which will make punishable by
death ths use of federsl agencies
for committing the crimes of kid-
naping and murder.”

High Hopes for Return Today Frustrated and Situation Very Die*

HOPEWELL, N. J., Mar, 8 —
(UP)—Colonel Charles A, Lind-
bergh and his wife, tortured by
many anxious hours, waited vainly
today in their Sourland mountain
home for news leading to recovery
of their kidnaped baby, Charles A.,
Jr.
Governor A. Harry Moors visit-
ed their retreat this afternoon and
returned with word they had “not
heard from the kidnapers today.”
From within the home, the
United Press received similar word
of the discouraging situation.
“Nothing has happened,” it was
said definitely.
Thus, the high hopes of tho,
night that the baby would be back
soon, seemed frustrated, yet Lind-
bergh ahd his wife kept their
courage high.
There was a rumor the gover-
nor’s visit had been to discuss ln» <
munity for the kidnapers if they
would return the child unharmed
But Moore told the United Preu
at Trenton on his return from tho
Lindbergh estate, that this had not
been considered.
He and H. Norman Schwartx-
kopf of the state troopers had
come to give comfort and to of-
fer an additional aid in the state
and nation search now proceeding.
The governor annouheed a mic-
rophone and a trooper’s teletype
were being installed at the Lind-
bergh estate, to aid in fast broad-
casting. It wag conjectured Lind-
bergh might be planning to go on
the air with an appeal to the kid-
i.apers to take their ransom and
give back to the distraught par-
ents the son who was seized Tues-
day evening from his crib on ths
second floor.
The Lindberghs were calm but
nervous and plainly under almost
superhuman tension. ' ‘
The air above the Lindbergh '
home and the byways leading to
the house from the main road were
cleared with visitors and reporters
to give clear way for any agents
of the kidnapers to make their
