an object floating about a half mile
south of the San Mateo-Ilayward
bridge. Crossing the bay and rowing
closer, they found the body and towed
, ^o" v
it ashore.
Two men, Thomas Harold Thurmond
and Jack Holmes, are held in ;
San Jose, charged with kidnaping and
slaying tho youth. In confessions
made public by officers they declared
they took Hart in his. motor car^out
ot San Jose, transferred him to another
car and drove onto the long
bridge. There, the confessions said.
Hart was struck on tho head and
stunned, his arms were wrapped to
his body with wire and he was
thrown into the bpy.
Charles O'Brien, chum of young
Hait, brought here by Sheriff William
J. Em'ig, of San Jose, positively
ident lied a gold collar clasp as having
belonged to the kidnaped youth.
"These gray trousers also are with- i
out' doubt part of the now" doublebriasUwi
suit which Brooke bought
just a few days before he was taken,'
young O'Brien declared. "lie was 1
wearing it that day because he was 1
going to have his picture taken."
O'Brien, who at one period of the 1
negot at ions for $-10,000 ransom had
been named as a go-between by the
elder Hart, could not identify a pearl
handled knife found in the clothing
nor a white shirt with fine maroon i
stripes. The shirt, a new product of
a na.ionally known manufacturer, i
however, was sold by the Hart store.

Will Free Lynchers
If Any Be Arrested
, Saevumento, Nov. 27.?Gov.- James
Hplph, Jr., said today the lynching
in San Jose last night of Thomas
Thurmond and John Holmes, confessed
kidnapers and slayers of
Brooke Hart, should result in fewer
kidnaping* throughout the country,
and that he would pardon any one
arrested for the lynching*.
"That was a tine lesson to tho
whole nation," Gov, Rolph said.
' There will he less kidnaping in the
country now. They made a good job
of it.
"If anyone is arrested for the good
job I'll pardon them all. I hope this
lesson will serve in every state .of
the Union/'
The governor postponed his trip to
Boise, Idaho, to attend a governors'
conference, not for the purpose of being
on hand to call out troops but
to prevent it.
"If I had gone away sbmeono would
have Called out the troops on me,"
the governor said, "and I promised in
Los Angeles I would not do that. ,
Why should I <;all out troops to protect
those two fellows?
"The people make the laws, don't
they?" he asked. "Well, if the people
have confidence Chat troops Will
not he called out to mow them down
when they seek to protect themselves
against kidnapers there is liable to
be swifter justice and fewer kidnap
M
ings.
"I don't think they will arrest anyone
for the lynchings," the governor
continued.
"With all the sorrow we have had
why should we add the sorrows of
kidnaping? It is about time the
people should have,, comfort in their
homes. This kidnaping business has
become so bad that mothers and
fathers are afraid to let their children
out of their homes.
"Look at the Lindbergh case. Kidnapers
have taken little children,
killed them and tjien jockeyed for
huge sums of money. Now they
have taken to kidnaping men and
women for the purpose of extracting
money from distracted relatives."
Now that the fate of Thurmond
and Holmes is settled, the governqr
plans to proceed to the Boise conference.
He is to fly from Sacramento
tonight, speak at the conference
tomorrow and return. Wednesday
night.

BUY NOT, EAT NOT
' By BOOTH TARKINGTON
Sometin" ? have to go against our training or go broke. Sometimes
what \ .;ave always believed to be u rule of virtuous conduct
proves fatal in practice. For instance, we have grown up in the belief,
fostered by our parents and teachers and enforced by our government,
that we have no right to take or use the property of another person
without his consent, but if the property in question happens to be a
blackjack that the other person is about to bring down on my head
I shall have a better chance of surviving if I perceive, in time, the
unwisdom of clinging unalterably to old convictions. That is, th'" *
are times of emergency when clinging to an old conviction v.il1
ruinous. Let us consider the present time-in its relation to our old c
viction in favor of thrift.
People of pioneer stock are often spoken of as the "backbone of the
country," and probably they are. Pioneers are thrifty or they don't survive.
If the wood pile is used too freely in the autumn it may not last
through the winter, and the Midland child learned thrift at its grandmother's
knee. Moreover, we've been taught for several generations
that it isn't what a man earns that counts and takes care of him in his
old age; it's what he saves. We've always believed that thrift is a
virtue, that spending is risky and that squandering is suicidal. o
demand thrift from <>ur government, vote against political candidates
pro\en unthrifty, and we investigate, and often relegate to private lite,
ofh< ials shown to be carelessly lavish with public funds. The value <?f
thrift, indeed, is one of our .-tronge-t convictions. No one doubts that
it is a right and useful conviction or that it would be dangeroii* > '
unsettle it; but here is the I niled States government coming I" us
now, a-king lis to buy, buy. buy, advi-ing us to spend our money rath T
than to save it. and generally appearing to set it-e!f strong I v in opp"-it:
01 to that old principle hi thriftine-s in which wc vvere trained, i h-TC
seems to !,<* a r -ntradiction somewhere.
Moreover, the government ask- us to spend at a time when we have
the least to spare, at a time when the Federal government il-e!'. as
v< d as our State, county and city governments, are taking heavily fro in
us in taxes and in that way lessening our power to spend. Worse
our government, through the N.R.A., asks us to spend at a moment
of great financial uncertainty in our lives, at a moment when we d vn t
know whether we re emerging fr-un the depression or going deeper into
it, and when wc aren t sure whether we're less afraid of the future than
vn were a year ago, or more so. The curious thing about the government
s exhortation to us to spend is that the exhorters know how we
feel nnd how we're situated; they know our old conviction in favor of
thrifiiness and thev agree with that conviction?and yet these same
exhorters ask us to buy, buy, buy!
that's the answer? Money is a means of trade. If you had a cord
of wood and no food, and your neighbor had a cellar full of potatoes
nnd no fuel, and if neither of you were willing to trade, he'd have ra*f
potatoes to eat but he'd free/e to drith, and you'd have heat enough
perhaps, hut you'd starve to death. Thrift is indeed a virtue;- but Uus
is a time of emergency during wlih !i it's necessary to buy goods sq,
that somebody'11 have money enough to pay us for what we fir'odure.
If it ? hard for us to get rich by wash in or one another's shirts, it s crr'
tainly impossible for us to make a liv'rvg by washing our own. ft seemi
wiser to live by spending than to perish by saving.
