The frantic parent! of nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, kidnaped heir to a timber domain, were reported signaling their willingness to reply to a reputed $200,000 ransom demand tonight as Federal agents and police trailed the abductors. Tacoma police began a hunt for a sedan in which two men and a boy were reported seen near where the young heir I vanished yesterday. It was described as bearing California license plates. While a sheet flapped significantly from the rear of the palatial Weyerhaeuser home overlooking Puget Sound, asserted details of a ransom note signed "The Egoist" and written on linen note paper "like a woman might use" i trickled through the army of close-mouthed investigatora. No authority would comment on whether the sheet, visible late today for a long distance over the Sound, might be a possible signal to the kidnapers.

Rumors to this effect spread as it was learned that the ransom note gave instructions for the parents, Mr. and Mrs. John P. Weyerhaeuser, to send an answer addressed to "Percy Minnie," through the advertising section of a Seattle newspaper. Previously the family apparently had started to comply but was reported to have refrained on the advice of Federal agents.

It was said the note demanded the $200,000 ransom in various denominations of "new and unmarked" bills.

Swinging Club Over Congress 2 of Their Measures, NRA and Wagner Bills, on Deck Domination bv Umn Proposed By Clifford A.

New Plan Is Drafted Originally, It had been Intended for the House to adopt a resolution extending the NRA for tltt months, but what House chiefs described a- "premature" newspaper publicity developed that such an extension would meet as much opposition as one for two years.

George LANSING, May 25 Budget balancing worries of Gov. Fitzgerald were largely erased by the Michigan Legislature in its final session after daybreak Saturday morning. Although the lawmakers appropriated more money than ever has Lpn spent before by a Michigan legislature, they provided the Governor also with well-sharpened shears which will permit him to trim the grants pro rata and keep them within the revenue. Fitzgerald hailed the "break probably unintentional on the part of mnst lawmakers as a life saver and aid he would not hesitate to use it after final scrutiny eliminates needless grants. He voiced the certainty that the new authority vested in him would avoid a special session for fiscal remedies.

Budget $9,000,000 Off Balance Final compilations produced a fiscal program which is $5,300,000 out of balance the first year and $3,700,000 the second year. Some painless adjustments' are within the power of the executive to make, however. The emergency fund was placed at jl.riOO.OOO. Fitzgerald believes that careful planning will hold actual expenditures to $500,000. A million and a half more was to wipe out overdrafts from the last hiennium's schedules, for the last six months of this fiscal year, ending June 30.

It ia not truly a charge against the biennlum for which this administration is providing and the Governor believes that it can he taken care of before the new year is entered. These measures reduce the first year's gap to about $3,000,000. An the hiennium's total to $6,000,000. The total now on the books Is $2 000 000 more than the 1933 Legis lature's new high for the first year ana more than $10,000,000 higher tor the second year. Teeth slipped Into Bill The new step In Michigan fiscal planning, making the executive his own official "finance director," a concession this Legislature once re-was provided for as an amendment to the Departmental Appropriation Bill, passed Just at dnwn Few knew the "teeth" flipped Into the bill to checkmate rceli less spending.

The amendment reads: "If the total appropriations made bv the Legislature for any fiscal year exreed the total revenue available, the Governor is hereby authorized to reduce, pro rata, all appro-ni made for such fiscal year." Not since the days of former Gov. ex J. Croesbeck, when the Highway Department's remote control of annual expenditures amounting to millions or more was brought under Administrative Board scrut-Iny, has such a legislative coup been accomplished. It is the Fitzgerald plan to ascertain Just what percentage of total appropriations Is unprovided for and slash all alike, including the $22,000,000 school aid grant, the big-Rest item of increase this year.
