The commerce com-merce department in particular, covering the largest area of any building in the world, was referred refer-red to as "Hoover's Folly." But now the New Deal blesses Herbert for constructing these giar.t structures and wishes he had put up more. For the Roosevelt administration administra-tion has grown, expanded and openeci its cavernous maw for more and more- office space until it in w has gathered into it a total f 119 n.-w buildings since 1933.

In the wake of the wildest New Year's celebration since the depression de-pression began, the nation today watched the holiday's violent death toll pass the 200 mark.

The death list was about 100 beiow that of the Christmas Christ-mas holidays. Approximately three-fourths of the deaths occurred in automobile accidents. Added to these were a scattering of suicides, explosions fires and murders, many of them connected with wild New Year's parties. In Peoria, 111., a vengeful New Year's celebrator, ejected from a tavern for misconduct, returned and paid his grievance by raking the crowded bar with a gunfire volley.

DRUG ADDICT SOUGHT KIDNAP CASE Another Suspect Held For Investigation In Tacoma Crime BY WILLIS DUN WAY I'nJted Pre Staff Correspondent TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 2 (U.R) A known drug addict and car thief was sought by police today for questioning in the Mattson kidnaping case. He was described as a 37-year-old Tacoma musician, who last was seen entertaining entertain-ing in a tavern a week ago, the night before Charles Mattson, 10-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. William Wil-liam W. Mattson, was stolen from his home. The suspect's appearance was said to tally closely with a description descrip-tion given by three Children who were in the Mattson home at the time of the abduction. Another Suspect Held Meanwhile, detectives held another an-other suspect for investigation. Near Olympia, 30 miles from here, discovery of an abandoned campfire in the woods put police on the trail of a man and a boy said to have been seen going Into the brush. Dr. Mattson, still maintaining he has had no answers to the two classified advertisements inserted in-serted in the Seattle Times in attempting at-tempting to contact the kidnaper, assertedly will demand absolute proof that his captive son is alive before the $28,000 ransom will be paid. He feared a crank or rival criminal crim-inal might attempt to "hijack" the ransom demanded by the kidnaper, it was believed. In seeking the drug-addicted car thief, police were following a report by the terrorized children who witnessed the abduction that the kidnaper appeared to be under the influence of drugs or liquor. Age At Variance The only discrepancy tn the" suspect's description was his age, police admitted. The bearded gunman gun-man who flung a ransom note signed "Tim" on the floor of the Mattson home was thought to be (Continued on Page Six) HOLIDAYS FREE FROM ACCIDENTS Both Chief of Police Henry East and Sheriff E. G. Durnell pronounced pro-nounced themselves especially pleased with the manner in which Provoans greeted the advent of 1937. ""I was especially pleased with the way motorists handled their cars," Chief East explained. "On the slippery streets they went with great care, and not a serious accident occurred." "Everyone seemed to have a good time and yet they all were very careful of others, especially in driving," Sheriff DurneU stated. "Another thing that pleased me was the quietness with which the parties were conducted though everyone seemed to have a good time," the chief added. "I think the large number of ward, private, pri-vate, fraternal, and civic club parties part-ies helped a lot. They kept the people entertained well." With streets slippery in the extreme ex-treme due to the freshening snows, no serious accidents were reported. W. P. Anderson, 37, Salt Lake City, was cut and bruised about the head and face when in avoiding avoid-ing a horse-drawn wagon his car skidded on the highway and hit a car driven by Ralph Hundley, 16, Provo, at 1500 West Center. As his car slid on the icy street at Ninth West and First South late Friday Victor Hedquist, 7S3 North Second East, skidded into a trenCh. No injury was reported. Two charges of intoxication were made during the evening late Thursday, but no other arrests were made. Church observances were confined con-fined to the Church of the Immaculate Im-maculate Conception New Year's morning. Father Henry chose "Time and Life" as his opening theme for the new year.
