TWO MILL SCHOOL TAX REDUCTION AIMOF BOARD Budget Most Be Cut $180, 000; Salaries Lowered The School Board is meeting this afternoon in executive session, hopeful of ironing the rough spots off the 1933 1934 budget and assuring a two mill reduction in school taxes: Some were of the opinion that the tax slash might reach 2Vj mills maybe three. But these seemed to be in the minority. The two mill reductions means that $180,000 must be clipped, pruned, sliced from last years budget. A greater reduction than that would seriously hinder the efficient operation of the school system, the majority of directors believe. Salaries of both teachers and board employes in excess of $1000 annually will be cut 10 per it has been definitely agreed.

It is said that directors have agreed to curtail somewhat the night school budget. Elimination of kindergartens is undecided. If the board reaches an aeree ment on budget and millage this aiternoon, action wm be taken at the regular meeting, Friday. WINS PAYMENT ON CONTRACT EVEN IF WORK STARTED FIRE The State must pay J. A.

Lanston, Corry contractor, $1415 due him on a painting job at the Edinboro State Teachers' College although a fire started while his workmen were burning off old paint. The Department of Public Instruction contended the $1000 damage resulting from the fire should be deducted from the balance due Lanston, but Harris C. Arnold, deputy attorney general, has ruled otherwise. In his ruling, Arnold stated it appeared the contractor took "every possible precaution to avoid damage by fire in the situation which he realized to be dangerous."

U. S. Program Business analysts of some of the corporations base cheerful anticipations on the belief that accumulated replacement needs are now so large that the demand must be filled just as soon as it seems cert tain that the recent upturn in general trade will continue. It is also pointed out that an extensive Federal program of public works should create calls for certain machinery. While the electrical equipment price structure Is still decidedly unsteady, and no immediate demand is anticipated, manufacturers feel the business improvement will finally reach them through long delayed purchases by railroads, utilities and large industrial establishments.

Various rallwav electrification projects, it Is said, may again be considered. The recent upturn in motor cars has raised the hopes of the machine tool trade which probably has been as severely deflated as any Industry. Now. with the demand for cars Increasing, it is honed that mechanical innovations will bring renewed activity.

The trial of Gaston B. Means, charged with conspiring to steal $35,000 from Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean, entered its second day today, with Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh on call as a witness. The Government intended first to ask Mrs.

McLean, distinguished society woman, to finish her story of how Means and Norman T. Whitaker. the "Fox." had promised to recover the kidnaped Lindbergh baby in exchange for the money. Whitaker is being tried with Means. Colonel Lindbergh, who with his wife, flew here yesterday from Columbus.

Ohio, will be called upon to establish the well known facts that his child was kidnaped and later found dead. The defense has insisted that such definite proof be furnished. Means already has been convicted and sentenced to fifteen years for swindling Mrs. McLean out of $104. 000.

The additional $35,000 was sought to replace the marked money Colonel Lindbergh had paid out in an attempt to get the cnuu DacK. Mrs. McLean came into court yesterday with a bagful of jewels, jewels which she had planned to pawn to obtain the $35,000. GIRL, 15, SAYS SHE ESCAPED KIDNAPERS WHEN ENGINE FAILED West Chester.

To the fail ure of an automobile engine 15 vear old Mary Jones says she owed her escape from two kidnapers. The girl, daughter of William Jones, a carpenter, is a high school sophomore. As she was leaving the public library yesterday, sne saia two men forced her at pistol point into a blue sedan.

'Mary left the library aoout 3.a p. the gin motner said, "two men were standing by a blue sedan Darked at the curb. One with a grey overcoat and brown cap pointed a pistol at her. "ine otner ieuow. in a Diue over coat and grey hat, threatened her, saying "if you make a souna, wen kill you.

BEGIN ROUNDUP OF DOGS WITHOUT TAGS Now comes the season of the year when county, city and town authorities start drives on unlicensed dogs. This warning was sent out today by the Department of Revenue. Owners of tagless dogs are advised to get busy, secure a license, save themselves added expense and perhaps the life of their pet.

"I would suggest that owners of unlicensed dogs immediately secure a license from their county treasurer," Secretary Leon D. Metzger said today. "By doing this they will save themselves trouble and expense. The owner of an unlicensed dog has three alternatives to follow. He must get a license, or dispose of his dog, or be prosecuted." The fee for a male dog is $1, for a female dog $2, and for a spayed dog $1, with an additional 10 cents paid to the county treasurer for his work in issuing and reporting i' licenses.

The fine and costs for having an unlicensed dog generally amount to $10. STUDIES VALUE OF RADI0JN SCHOOLS An effort to determine the value of radio in Pennsylvania public schools is being made by the Department of Public Instruction, State Superintendent James N. Rule said today. He indicated that at present radio is regarded as a help ful factor in education, but that the reaction of the classroom teacher Is a necessary part of a State pro gram for fuller development of the use of radio reception in the school room. Direct information from teachers, based on experience gained through personal contact with their pupils, will be most valuable to the Department in establishing a sound program for the State, he said.

Teachers using the radio in con nectlon with their school programs are asked to submit to the Depart ment information on a series of general points covering the extent of reception of national and local broadcasts, teacher opinion of the worth of broadcasts that have been used In the classroom, and the ex tent of participation in local broad cast program. Dr. Rule is a mem ber of the National Committee on Education by Radio. MAY NOT CHARGE EXTIUJSSUE FEE Agents appointed by the Department of Revenue to sell fishing and hunters' licenses direct to sportsmen are only authorized to do so at the same rate that is charged by county treasurers. The authorized rate is $1.60 for a resident fishing license, and $2 for a resident hunter's license.

These amounts must be re turned by the agents to the county treasurer from whom they receive their licenses. Secretary Leon D. Metzger said today that some agents have been charging a fee In excess of those authorized. The Department is endeavoring to end this practice, the Secretary aid. Sportsmen having knowledge of any agant charging an unauthorized additional fee for his own use are asked to Inform the Department at Harrisburg.

Agents found guilty will have their appointment revoked. When an alderman, justice of the peace, or a notary public takes an application for a 'lcenae ne may charge a fee of IS cents for getting the license for the applicant from the county treasurer. The IS cent fee. however, cannot be charged If such an official has accepted an appointment to act as agent for the Department 7ytMuii 191 1920 1930 16 MILLS INCREASE I90 30lrOo Herewith another of the charts prepared on data furnished by the Harrisburg Tax Reducers from their study of mounting school costs.

STRICKEN CITY IN NEED OF AID WHILE POLICE SEEK FIREBUG Ellsworth, May 9. The finances of cities of the state and sympathetic communities were made available today to relieve the distress and suffering caused by a $3, 000,000 fire which laid waste 172 homes and half of this city's business district. Hampered by financial stringency due to banking restrictions, warned of the danger of an impure water supply, its communications, power and lights systems almost paralyzed and faced with the problem of rehabilitation, this stricken community turned with hope to relief organizations for its immediate needs. Meanwhile, authorities pushed forward an intense but quiet investigation of a report that a pyro maniac was responsible for the inception or the conflagration which devastated an area two miles long and a half mile wide. $5,000,000 CUT MUSJ BE MADE (Continued From Page 1) viding funds for operation of the State government in the next bien nium, and which was rushed through the Legislature in a last minute compromise with the Governor.

Permits School Cuts The Senate House Conference Committee, which approved the final version of the $128,000,000 general appropriations measure, enabled the State to cut the appro priations fsr schools by adding these conditions to the $53,000,000 item: 'Provided, that this appropriation shall be so pro rated by the Department of Public Instruction that it will be spread over the biennium and the amounts due to school districts under existing laws shall be paid in the discretion of the department to accomplish this result; "Provided, that the SuDerintend ent of Public Instruction with the approval of the Governor, may make payments from this appropriation in advance of the due dates prescribed by law. to school districts which are financially handicapped, whenever he shall deem it necessary to make such advance payments to enable such districts to keep their public schools open." FEWER FWISHAT TEACHERCOLLEGES State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania will graduate fewer students this year than last, the State Department of Public Instruction announced today. Commencement exercises at twelve of the colleges will be held on May 29, and on May 30 at Mansfield and the Cheyney Training School for Teachers. Programs are to be conducted on economy lines In keeping with similar plans in effect at these institutions for the past several years. There will be a decrease of 5 per cent.

In the number to receive diplomas and certificates In all curricula at the State Teachers Colleges this year. Approximately 970 are to be graduated from four year courses, and 1460 will complete the two year curriculum, which is a decrease of about 13 per cent, from last year's total. The decrease In the number of graduates results partly from definite plan adopted by the State Teachers College presidents reducing the number of students by 10 per cent. The reduction also is due to operation of a plan by which only the best equipped and most deserving students are to continue their preparation to the graduation point.

Years ago, In the heyday of mining, red ash was sold at a premium cf $1 a ton. According to Kniley. the Susque hanna company recently decided to operate only those mines where coal is near the surface and consequently obtained at a minimum cost.

The Short Mountain Colliery through years of mining, has sunk to a level below sea level and pumps must be operated constantly to work the mine. Kniley says it has now oeen worked to 3300 feet in vertical depth. Offer to Take Over Mine Thus the mine has become one of the oldest and deepest in the State. The Susquehanna company already had begun dismantling the diggings when the business and professional men and miners of the district approached the company witn tne plan to take it over. A tentative plan has been agreed upon by which the mine is to be taken over on a lease with the new operators paying rental.

Details are now to be definitely decided upon, since the charter has been granted. The business men and miners alike will underwrite the prolect, Stock will be issued to each miner, many of whom have not worked for months, at $25 a share, to be nnid for from his earnings." Mr. Kniley said. The basic rate of nay will be the union wage and if a profit is made, all will share it equally. If a loss is suffered, miners must suffer with business men.

MARGARET1 McMATH TRIES TO FORGET (Continued From Page 1) tenor of her childish, ways as two men, charged with her abduction, languished in Barnstable jail. In a low, rambling house on a hill overlooking Wychmere Harbor, where the child was found aboard a yacht last Friday night, Neil C. McMath, the father, and his fam ily were trying to forget the sensational events of the past week in which their names were bruited across the country. Lieutenant Detective Ernest Bradford of the state police, in charge of the Cape Cod district was expected to return here to check certain angles or the case. He re fused to discuss his intentions but observers were puzzled by discrep ancies in the stories of the 10 year old girl and Kenneth Buck, 28, who with his brother Cyril, 4i, was held in connection with the case.

Kenneth was charged with kidnaping and his brother with extortion. $100,000 Bail Yesterday the Buck brothers were arraigned in Barnstable district court at Provincetown. They pleaded not qullty and were held in $100, 000 bail each. Their cases were con tinued until May 22. "Peggy" had said a Negro man or a man with a blackened lace had called for her at the Harwich cen ter school on the day she was ab ducted but Kenneth, although police said he admitted he blackened his face with burnt cork stoppers and then drove to the school to pick her up, told reporters while seated the dock ot the rrovincetown ais trict court, that a blackened face was not a part of his alleged ma chinations.

"Peggy" also said she believed the man who picked her up at the school house was a different person than the one who transported her from the Cranberry shack to the dingy, low cellar of the house. She said the voices were different. The alleged confession Indicated that only Kenneth was involved In these operations. Slips Noticed Chief E. E.

Hall of the local police asserted that the rehearsal by Kenneth of his actions during the kidnaping was not an exact' duplication. Kenneth, according to police, had confessed that when he took the child from a Cranberry shack, in which he had first hidden her, to the cellar in the house in which he kept her until he made his final contact, he took a route along the edge of a bog and jumped over a ditch with her in his arms. This happened in the dead of night, ac cording to the confession police re leased. Hall said it would have been ex tremely difficult for Buck, a small man, to hold the child in his arms and leap the ditch, four feet wide and about three feet deep. There were two logs laid across the ditch but in the reenactment in daylight, Buck slipped and fell as he at tempted to negotiate it alone.

One Other Person Kenneth at the court house, con tinually Intimated there was at least one other person involved in the crime, but when questioned further he refused to elucidate. He did say that he would tea the "whole story to his lawyer, but officials were little concerned with his assertions. Cyril had contended that he was innocent of any wrongdoing and that his sole Interest in the case was to return the child to her parents, Meanwhile, William Lee, associate of Neil McMath In the boat building business, had relinquished his position as contact man and started off In his automobile with his wife for Baltimore, before leaving he ob talned a permit to carry a pistol saying he was "taking precautions these days."

A fantastic story of how a 54 year old wealthy local manufacturing company executive allowed himself to be kidnaped for $25,000 ransom was unfolded today as the victim was safe at home again and his two alleged abductors were in jail.

The man. William Trevillian. vice president of the W. T. Raw lelgh Company, was found by authorities late last night bound and gagged in a cabin near Durand, 111., a few hours after being seized by two men as he left his office for the day.

Two men in the cabin with him were arrested as the kidnapers. They were: Inside Information William Stubbe. 27. Rock Grove. 111., and reported to be formerly of Monroe.

and La Verne Moore, 21, Freeport, upon whom officers said they found the ransom note threatening "hot irons on his hide" if the $25,000 was not forthcoming.
