No Charge Yet In Kidnapping Case Probe
Tacoma detectives and federal agents probe a degenerate for the kidnap slaying of Charles Mattson. They have no identified suspect, though records from Tacoma authorities are being reviewed for clues. The 10 year old's body was found last Monday, 15 days after the abduction from his family's living room. A ransom demand of $28 000 and the missing outcome suggest a nonprofessional motive rather than profit. Federal agents decline comment. Further details expected as investigations continue.

Byrd Battles to End Government Agencies in RFC Vote
Senator Byrd of Virginia fought to curb government programs as the Senate approved a resolution extending the lending powers of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation until June 30, 1933. Byrd urged a 1 1/2 year extension to let his plan to abolish or merge agencies progress, but only he dissented as the measure passed. RFC chairman Jesse Jones said the agency would serve as a standby lender, with extensions covering related institutions and authorities. The RFC reported a profit well under one percent on repaid loans and warned farmers’ CCC loans may not recoup funds.

Just a Minute With Servings by Irvin Cobb
Santa Monica Calif Jan 15 Trance has lent a vast sum to Poland and Poland will use the money to increase its war strength. If Poland repudiates the debt a howl will go up from La Belle France that will ring around the world. It will remain evidence of soulless greed for Uncle Sam even to imply France might pay us something on account against the enormous amount she owes for borrowed money used to build up her army.
