The missionary said the Americans were slain, by the bandits, apparently with the object of embarrassing the Chinese, government in its relations with the -States. Their bodies, abandoned on a battlefield 15 miles from Tsingteh, were discovered by Chinese, who risked lives in for the family. A Chinese Christian Mr. Birch related, found Helen, crying and hungry, in a deserted house where she apparently had been abandoned by'her captors; Chinese harbored the infant irk a rice basket until it wa's 'possible' to -begin the. long trek to Wuhu.

Alfred Budd of New York City, six years ago was solved, according- to police, by the confession of Albert A. Fish, 65 year old New-York painter. The kidnaping- of the on June 4,. 1928 prompted a nation-wide search, to no avail. (Associated press Photo.) No Truth in Blood on HauptiAann Car Story TRENTON, N.

GEL'Smm ME DISCOVERED Skeleton of Victim of 65 Year Old Man Is Found By Police NEW YORK dug in the bleak earth today'- about the Westchester house where Grace Budd was slain, seeking to learn if Albert H. Fish any other victims.

One full day of digging turnea up virtually a complete skeleton of the little girl yesterday, as well as. the stained meat cleaver and saw that Fish confessed "he-used to butcher the 10 year old child after kidnap- June 3, 1928.

You cant do me any more WASHINGTON (S)--A secret plan in the possession of the United States Army, designed to mobilize industry in the event of another war, engaged the attention of the Senate Munitions Committee today. A contention has been made to the committee that under this plan industry already has arranged to forego any Inflated 'war profits. Members of the committee dispute this, and the investigators caUed an executive meeting for today to decide whether public disclosure of the plan's details would jeopardize national defense. Military strategists contend it would. There were indications that Secretary Dern had promised the committee complete access to the department's secret plans, but declined to accept responsibility for their disclosure.

Some foreign governments are said to have shown interest in this phase of the investigation on the possibility something of military value to them might come to light. Committee members say the Army plans would not take profits out of war but would make large profits for industrial organizations possible. The contention of investigators is that under these plans each major industrial plant knows what proportion of business it would receive, and that reserve officers, who in private Me are connected -syith manufacturing concerns, would be drawn into the army's to allot contracts in war-time. The committee expected to spend most of next week 'developing this phase. VIENNA The Austrian government was considering an immediate representation to Germany today concerning the shooting to death of two members of an austrian fron- tier patrol by alleged "Austrian Legion" men from An official announcement said the patrol was suddenly confronted by three men who opened fire without warning.

It was stated at the foreign office, however, that confusion still existed concerning the circumstances of the encounter. 1935 PLANS OF ROOSEVELT ARE BEING UNFOLDED ConfessedSlayerofGmceMd NEW DIFFICULTY IS DEVELOPING International Controversy Involves Italy and Ethiopia Pact Might Be Extended to Power Units A TALKING Several Confer With the Chief Executive As to Future Steps WASHINGTON (Pi) President Roosevel.t's plans and hopes for 1935 began to unfold in more detail today, topped by a disclosure that talks are in progress which, if successful, would extend the celebrated government business "peace pact" to much of the vast power industry.

The Protest said that on Nov. 23 water found in capital structure should be squeezed out and rates, reduced accordingly to yield a reasonable return on what was found to be fair capitalization.
