VISIT CELLAR IDEN
TIFIED BY VICTIM
BROOKLYN, N. Y., April 20 (TP)
Martin Schlossman was booked by
Brooklyn police this morning with
the kidnaping of Paul Wendel. This
action followed the statement by Dis
trict Attorney William Oeoghan that
Schlossman had confessed Wendel’s
kidnaping.
Geoghan also let it be known that
two detectives left by airplane far
Detroit to seek two more men named
by Wendel as his kidnapers. Geog
han said the information he has se
cured in the ‘Wendel case links
with that of the Lindbergh-Haupt
mann case. He wouldn’t say how
it links—just now. Wendel was ar
rested and charged with the Lind
bergh murder just a few days before
the late Burno Hauptmann was to
have been executed. Ellis Parker
was instrumental in Introducing a
so-called “confession” from Wendel.
Parker, a rural detective, was prompt
ly implicated by Wendel. Wendel
said he was kldmpsd and tortured
into writing the document.
Schlossman entered the case when
Geoghan’s investigation took him to
Schlossman's cellar in Brooklyn.
Wendel said it corresponded with the
one in which he was kept prisoner
during his abductisn. Schlossman
began a long grilling at the hands
of detectives. Geoghan declined to
say how many more will be involved •
In the case. The King’s county dis
trict attorney said Schlosrman had
not involved anyone else. Then Geog
han booked his prisoner for the
Wendel kidnaping.
Geoghan said that Schossman was
working for someone ese when he
aided In the Wendel kidnaping. The
report that higher-ups, inkjed with
New York and New Jersey politics,
were responsible for the snatching
drew no comment from him.
Three Brsoklyn detectives who
flew to Detroit are searching for
Schlo sman's brother-in-law, Murray ‘
Bicefield, and a cab-driver named .
Harry Weiss. The pair are suspect
ed of having helped Schlossman kid
nap Wendel. A fourth man is be
lieved to be hunted in Brooklyn. 1

EDUCATORS PLAN
CAMPAIGN AGAINST
TAX AMENDMENT
TEACHERS OF GEORGIA
WILL WAGE FIGHT
SAYS VARNEDO
A program to bring about the de
feat of the 15 mills tax amendment
will be launched by the teachers and
■ether educators of Georgia, it was
announced by Ashton Varnedoe, pres
ident of the Chatham County Teach
ers Association, who was back in his
classroom at the high school this
morning, after attending the conven
tion of the Georgia Education Asso
ciation in Macon. *
The members of the association de
clared that chaos would be the re
sult of the proposed legislation ,Mr.
Varnedoe said, and they.are calling
on citizens throughout the state to
study this plan and the effect it
might have on the schools ,the asyl
ums, tlse health work, and all pub
lic activities of Goorgia.
“It is too dangerous to adopt such
a system without making more defi
nite plans for taking care of these
institutions,” Mr. Varnedoe reported,
quoting th eassociation. He added
that the stand of the educators is
that not enough money is now be
ing appropriated for these purposes
and that the 15 mill tax amendment
would bring about a chaos out of
which there would be no road.
The reports of Malcolm Bryan, who
has made a scholarly and unbiased
study, Mr. Varnedoe said, of this
situation, will be issued to the pub
lic shortly. Civic organizations, tax
payers associations, teachers, and all
others interested in the problem will
be given a copy.
A more extensive report of the ac
tion of the teachers will be made at
the meeting of the Chatham Asso
ciation, Wednesday at 4 o’clock at
the Richard Arnold Junior High.
