ALLEN I WASHINGTON Brain Trust friends have been hearing hear-ing from Professor James Harvey Rogers. The mild, drawling little southerner, who skyrocketed into the headlines as the team mate of Professor George "Community Dollar" Warren, was hurriedly sent to China by the administration last spring at theVheight of the silver agitation on Capitol Hill. By rushing Rogers to the Orient to study what effect, if any, an increased price of silver would have on boosting Far Eastern trade, it was hoped the silver bloc would be appeased. But the scheme didn't work. Instead of being soothed, the sil-verites sil-verites increased their clamor. In the end the White House had to compromise with them on the silver purchase act. Meanwhile, Rogers, in China, began a painstaking, conscientious survey. ijc According to the letters his academic friends are now get- j ting from him, his findings are not very promising for the silverites and their pet argu- ment. j . Rogers writes that so far he hasn't been able to find anyone who thinks American silver price manipulation will have a beneficial effect on Oriental trade. In fact, he says a number of Far Eastern bankers believe silver activity will be detrimental. Rogers is due back in the U. S. A. soon. On the basis of what he has written, his friends predict that his official report will make interesting reading. That is provided it is made public. Such reports have a way of never seeing the light of day. NEW MAN President Roosevelt has shelved the "forgotten man."

Hayes, Speaking At Logan Convention Sounds Warning LOGAN, Utah, Aug. 17 (U.R) A vigorous attack against what he termed growing tendency ten-dency toward Communism in the United States, was voiced today by Edward A. Hayes, national commander of the American Legion. Speaking before the convention of the Utah department of the Legion, Hayes said there was a definite Communistic movement in this country, and declared it was "the responsibility of every citizen to see to the safety of our government and the preservation of our liberty."

"From California to New York, we have experienced admitted Communistic problems. In California Cali-fornia some time ago the American Ameri-can Legion clashed with a set of Communists. In Texas we find university students in a quarrel with the Legion because of propaganda pro-paganda inimical with the welfare of our government. . . . "... We found this same destructive menace in the University Univer-sity of Ohio. . . We had no diffi- I culting in tracing that movement to a certain leadership in New York. ..."

Eyring is the speaker. bandaged with adhesive tape, a system inaugurated by American gangsters and used in the kidnaping kid-naping of John J. O'Connell, Jr., in Albany last year. An official of the Labatt Brewery Brew-ery predicted capture of the abductors ab-ductors within 48 hours. A spokesman for the Labatt Brevery and police said that the kidnapers believed to be a New York City or Detroit gang were frightened and that no ransom was paid. A friend of Leet in Sarnia, Ont., previously reported payment of at least part of the $150,000 demanded. Labatt .appeared first at Toronto, Toron-to, near where he had been released, re-leased, in the opinion of police, and was brought to the home of his brother, Hugh, here. He was placed under a doctor's care and ordered yot to talk for 48 hours. "His condition is not critical, but he is greatly fatigued," J. C. Elliott, his lawyer, said. Police officials who seek the kidnapers in western Ontario and along the Michigan border, fretted fret-ted at the delay in getting information infor-mation from Labatt. They were said to be angered by reported promises which the family made to the abductors possibly a pledge to tell nothing for 24 or 48 hours, in order to give the gang a chance to escape. The police indicated a belief that information given them by a woman who said she saw the automobiles auto-mobiles of Labatt and of the kidnapers kid-napers when the brewer was seized seiz-ed on Tuesday, had frightened the gangsters. It was believed that the search by police on the basis of the woman's information led the kidnapers to abandon hope of collecting the ransom and to release re-lease the brewer. Whether the release was on a pledge of some sort extracted from the anxious Labatt family, was not known. A high official of the Labatt Brewers answered questions of newspapermen in behalf of the family, predicting the capture of the abductors. He said he believed be-lieved the various mysteries arising aris-ing from the case would be cleared up in 48 hours. Elliott said he did not know who had acted as intermediary in the last stages of the case. "I am not even sure that there was a late parley with the kidnapers. kidnap-ers. I have not been in rnnvprsa. tion with Labatt himself," he said. Elliott assured newspapermen that police would be given all details de-tails of the release as soon as physicians permitted Labatt to be interviewed.
