Urschel kidnaped trustee of the $23,000,000 Slick oil estate, are ready to "make a contact with the kidnapers our-J selves," a spokesman said today. A second tense night of waiting had brought no word from the abductors when E. H.

Kirkpatrick, "an employe of the Slick-Urschel offices at Tulsa, declared: "We will cooperate with the federal and other officials but we are ready to make a contact with the kidnapers ourselves. "Although we want to help the officers, our first interest, of course, is the welfare and return of Mr. Urschel. "If I could make a contact right now with the. kidnapers I would do it in spite of everything."

Order 99 Action Farm Act Head Warns Of Necessity for Changing Methods MUST HELP FARMER Can't Go on Permitting Dispossession of Farmer Peek Washington VP) George N. Peek, chief administrator of the farm act told representatives of the grain industry today to "put your house in order" or "the government will act" The farm administration is "greatly displeased" with the recent sharp fluctuations in the prices of wheat and other grains, he said, and is determined that a program of reform for the methods of marketing products is necessary. The industry is to be given "the first opportunity" to establish practices which would insure greater stability in prices, but if it fails, farm administrators are prepared to take prompt action before the next session of congress beginning in January. "I do not entertain the view that the present grain trade has any divine right to handle the farmers' products," Peek said.

"The institutions engaged in marketing exist and will continue to exist ust so long as they provide a useful service. "If they do not perform such ser vice then it will be necessary for farmers to find some other method for marketing their products. "This country cannot go on permitting farmers to be dispossessed of their farms and hopes through no fault of their own because of their inability to make the cost of production. Need "Square Deal" "My prediction is that unless the farmers of the country can be assured that they are going to get a square deal not two or three years hence but now and before congress reassembles, then events will happen which will make what we al- feady have seen, look like a pleasant "I want to emphasize to every one connected with the grain trades the necessity that you put your own house in order where it needs to be put in "We are not going to Undertake to superimpose something on the grain trades until after they have had an opportunity to work out their problems themselves. "If this is not done, promptly, I will make no promises." -Representatives of the grain' industry and commodity exchanges selected committees today to explore the possibilities of drafting a code of competition aimed to bring greater stability to grain prices.

The group ordered the committee to go to work this afternoon and to submit any proposals on which each was agreed for later consideration by the general conferences of the industry. The names of the members of the committee were not announced. Proposals Made It was reported that during the morning session of the conference these proposals for establishing more stable prices for grain were submitted with no final action taken on any of them: Permanent establishment of daily fluctuation limits. Limitation of individual holdings of futures to a maximum total. probably to 5,000,000 bushels.

Higher margin requirements for traders. The Chicago Board of Trade, where transactions represent about 85 per cent of those involving wheat each year, was represented by Peter B. Carey, president Meanwhile, Secretary Wallace, who did not attend the conference, said that a reprsentativeof the Chicago board Saturday informed him that it would limit fluctuations for wheat to 5 cents a bushel a day. An intensive investigation will be undertaken by administrators to determine the extent of recent operations by traders with large "long" and "short" accounts. Wallace disclosed over the week- end that it was ascertained that one operator was 13,000,000 bushels long on corn and several million bushels "long" on other grains, and that 17 brokers retained by this operator would have been forced to sell him out." today.

Wallace believed that this would have led to a sharp reduction in grain quotations. He said that many other operators had large futures accounts.

(3-Captain Mollison announced at noon that he and his wife will fly to New York tonight leaving Stratford in a borrowed Sikorsky amphibian plane at 5 o'clock p. for Floyd Bennett field. In a talk from the hospital just before noon both expressed regret at the crack-up which ended their transatlantic flight Dr. Isaac L. Harshbarger, who attended the Mollisons last night, vis ited the fliers again this morning accompanied by Dr.

D. C. Patterson, After a half hour visit they reported the patients were in "fine condition;" Dr. Harshbarger described Molli- son's injuries as the more serious. He said 30 stitches were necessary to close two wounds in his face, and head.

Mrs. Mollison's right hand was lacerated and both suffered nu merous superficial abrasions. They also suffered from shock and fatigue. They were much refreshed by their nine-hour sleep, he said. Their beds were pushed side by side and the air adventurers dis cussed new plans.

A friend, Ver non Stuart, of New York City, said they would issue a statement re garding the future. Their plane "Searfarer," in which they flew from Pendme, Wales, planning to start over the ocean again to Bagdad, and thence back to England, lay in swampy grass at the rim of the Bridgeport air port virtually a complete wreck.

Simultaneously the non-Nazi election board received complaints that voters had been intimidated and in -consequence declared the balloting invalid. About 400,000 elders and members of governing boards were chosen. They will name provincial synod delegates, who will select delegates to a national synod for nominating a Reichs Bishop, a post that has been in dispute for weeks.

Incomplete returns indicated electors, who apparently realized the futility of a resistance, had heeded Chancellor Hitler's admonition that "the church expects protection from the state, which in turn is entitled to expect allegiance from the church" and had resigned themr selves largely to fusion lists, making balloting superfluous. Nazi pressure on non-Nazi church members led to the adoption in several places of fusion lists, and in Berlin only 80 congregations voted. In many communities the Nazi German Christians claimed two third majorities.

At the jail door he found another man on guard and had to repeat the identi fication. The jailer discovered that four carloads of officers, including eight Chicago detectives and seven feder al men, had driven in from the east on Highway. 20. Two of the cars ap parently had gone ahead so the offi cers could surround the jail while the jailer went out to meet the oth ers.

The Chicago force took the jail over completely, forbidding the sheriff to answer the telephone in his own office. Deputies were instructed not to give out any information. "If any newspaper men come around asking questions," the chief federal, agent said, "tell them it's a nice day and we think Elkhorn is a swell town."

Tonight, President Roosevelt him self, in a talk beginning at 8:30 (Ap ple ton time), will discuss the plan and the progress of his general re covery efforts. That will be the first big move in the attempt to get public support behind the "blanket" agreements. Many employers already have promised informally to sign these compacts with President Roosevelt.

But these, of course, are individual agreements. They are to be followed by general pledges by whole indus-tries, to prevent unfair competition. Two of these general agreements called codes of fair competition underwent public scrutiny today. They were presented by the oil and wool industries. Hugh S.

Johnson, recovery chief, gave personal attention to the oil code, loaded with trouble. For Shorter Week He has acted already to dispel an apparently growing belief among some industrialists that a 40-hour work week would be short enough. A 40-hour week was in the cotton textile first submitted, first approved. Industries took that as a guide. Shipbuilders, for example, presented an elaborate case for 40 hours.

Johnson said 32 hours should be the shipbuilder's limit. He made clear that his only yardstick is: How much hour-reduction must each'industry adopt to re-employ all the idle men- it. can economically absorb? The "blanket" voluntary agree ment prescribes 35 hours maximum for factory and mechanical workers. The cotton textile industry was allowed 40 because national recovery administration experts figured the plants on that schedule could use every skilled operative and might need more. Lumbermen in a pending code asked 4Q to 48 hours; coat and suit men 40; electrical plants 36.

Like the shipment, these-may be asked to accept shorter hours vol-untarilyr If they do not, it will be up to Johnson to advise President Roosevelt what changes to make before promulgating their codes.
