S. senate investigating committee; Major C. D. Vinet, aeronautics bureau chief, and Major Harold Bazley, WPA airport supervisor. representing the state.
The investigators have collected a mass of evidence.

Olficials Arrest
Supposed Slayer of
Charles Mattson
MEXICO CITV, March 28— (U.R)— Police tonight arrested a man said to be a Cuban gangster on suspicion that he was connected with the kidnap-slaylng of 10-year-old Charles Mattson in Tacoma, Wash.
The man was said to be known variously as Antonio Moreno and Alejandro Pompez.
Moreno was arrested this morning as he was about to climb into a Lincoln automobile ln the center of the city.
FLEES IN AUTO The car, which police believed to be bullet-proof and which bore a Chicago, 111., license, sped away as detectives attempted to arrest Its occupants.
It was believed that Moreno came tq Mexico about January 11- He was said to have posed as owner of a boxing arena ln the United States.
United States agents or detectives were said to have participated in the search for him. but this could not be confirmed immediately. ARREST ORDERED A report from the office of the prosecutor general of the republic said that in January it ordered Rafael Arredondo, sub-chief of Judicial police, and Enrique Lemus, agent No 40. to "immediately find and arrest Moreno, who Is a New York racketeer and kidnaper of the Mattson child.”
Basis for linking Moreno with the Mattson case was not revealed.
Arredondo and Lemus were said to have searched for Moreno in various parts of the republic. The gangster had a large bodyguard and was able to keep out of the agents' way. Once he used a private airplane to escape, according to reports.
GIBRALTAR. March 28 —(U.R)— General Oontalo Quelpo de Llano,
rebel commander on the southern Spanish front, charged tonight that 800 Americans have crossed the French frontier to Join the Loyalist armies.
Quelpo de Llano, broadcasting from the Insurgent radio station at Seville, described the volunteers only as "Americans" but other rebel leaders said he referred to ra-cruits from the United States. REPORT BELIEVED TRUE Although the rebel general’s figure of 800 was generally regarded here as an exaggerated one. some credence was attached to it ln view of dispatches from Port Vendres, France, that 13 Americans and five Canadians were arrested when the French coast guard vessel La Cer-bere seized a fishing smack attempting to smuggle five volunteers into Spain.
The group, in addition to the Americans and Canadians, included seven Irish. Roumanian, and Hungarian recruits bound for the Loyalist battlefronts.
PASSPORTS DISCOVERED All were described as carrying ] American passports, however.
One report described the leader of the group as Joe Ballet, who was born in Cleveland. Ohio, ln 1817. He said his followers were “vegetarians and non-drinkers."
The Americans and Canadians were said by French authorities to have arrived ln France aboard the liners Queen Mary and lie de France and to have gone from Le Havre and Cherbourg to Narbonne, thence by auto bus to the coast where they embarked on the Ashing smack.
