1 (rfj New fears Friday surrounded the search for Charles Mattson, 10-year-old kidnap victim, as the father. Dr. W. W. Mattson said he had received no direct word from the boy since his abduction Sunday night.

The fears replaced an attitude of confidence previously noted in members of the family, close friends and officers. Fearful opinions expressed in restaurants and on street corners were matched by dubious statements from persons close to actual developments. An official active from the start in the search for Charles was the most pessimistic. Offering no explanation, he asserted he believed the kidnaper never answered overtures begun by the Cowds in Happy Mood One of the murders was the most Rabbi Leo Frahm of Detroit opened Clarence Ituvman, 18. of Ijinsiag I.Mii'rnd cuts about the head in 'roIliMim Litttien truiks driven by Jack!

The official expressed the belief the kidnaper was an amateur rather than a "big time" gangster.

No professional kidnaper would ask a ransom so low-as $28,000, he pointed out, and no seasoned criminal would take the chance of seizing the boy before witnesses as this man did. William and Muriel Mattson and Virginia Chatfield all were present when Charles was seized and all three have asserted they could identify the kidnaper. An amateur, the official reasoned, would be much more likely to harm his captive than a professional would be, simply because he might not understand the severe punishment attached to such an act. A second official, refusing to comment on the outcome of the search, predicted the boy would not be returned in less than 48 hours no matter how well negotiations progressed. Like most of those giving information on the Mattson search, both these men refused to allow use of their names.

"I wanted to turn myself over to the Sioux City police. I guess that Is why they wanted to kilt Buker and me." Police Friday planned to scour the area around the 3 i-foot crater caused by the blast tn an effort to locate parts of Baker's body. The powder storehouse was owned by a GUoux Falls hardware company. Windows in virtually every farm residence near the powder house were broken, but the principal damage was caused in Sioux Falls where dozens of panes of glass in downtown stores were shattered. A glass company, called to make repairs, estimated the damage at $5,000.

The terrific blast knocked pictures from walls, rattled dishes, started chandeliers swinging and in other ways resembled an earthquake. Downtown celebrating crowds as well as residents in outlying districts rushed to the streets. In Dell Rapids, 30 miles some windows were broken by the force of the explosion. The blast also was felt In Pipestone, 51 miles away, and in Doon, 40 miles distant. i no.

From all sections of the state came reports of a record outpouring of people and cash to greet a prosperous new year. Many celebrated at hotels, night clubs, cafes and bars; other thousands attened midnight shows and church services; while tens of thousands gathered In small parties at private homes.

As the clock struck the midnight hour bedlam broke loose church bells rang, factory whistles shrieked, automobile horns tooted and thousands streamed into the streets with noise makers to shout "Happy New Year." Despite the terrific pace of the all night celebrations it was apparently a comparatively "safe" New Year's Eve on Michigan streets and highways. At least this is true if Detroit's record of but one traffic fatality from 6 p. m. to 6 a. m.

proves representative of the state as a whole. In Detroit police and crty officials pointed with pride to the safety drive which followed Detroit's 12 deaths reported for the same 12-hour period on Christmas Eve. As the new year started Michigan residents watched what developments the inauguration of Gov. Frank Murphy would bring. Interest centered for the day in Lansing as the Democrats virtually took over the state government.

For many the hilarity of the holiday pushed more serious matters into the background for the day and "firsts" attracted their interest. In Detroit, Mrs. Benjamin Blau entered claims as the first mother of the first baby born in 1937 as well as the first set of twins. She gave birth to twin girls the first arriving 12 seconds after midnight I s-tttw aamv www wxtmxminsvmiJytf yi taln 111. -up nem dealers have At uoir.itvnt three Important state was announced by iC.ov Frank Murphy in Detroit, early K'ntina4 ii r.fe la.

Both members of the commission had concluded before the girl's death that she was insane and they so testified at a coroner's inquest into her suicide. Extortion Case Dramatic Lacking some of the drama of the Giltner-Morgan case, but possessing more menacing possibilities was the Kramer extortion plot, solution of which sent three young men to prison. Early the year Max A.

Kramer, prominent Lansing business man. began receiving notes threatening hti life if he did not pay $5,000. Lansing police enlisted the aid of federal G-men to capture the extortionists but it remained for a routine arrest by state police following a holdup to trap the plotters and frustrate the addition of (Continued a Psf- Column SI liyhlaml 'Exiles I to an Assorted Press dispatch.
