School Land Leasing Justified by
Need of Revenue, Holman Declares
PORTLAND, April 3 (AP)
Coming to the defense of the lens
ing of state school lands, Stnto
Treasurer Rnfus C. Holman. In n
statement to Ihe Associated Press,
declared the practice proper to se
cure revenue Tor the stnto school
fund.
The land was granted to the
state by the federal government
for the sole purpose of maintaining
a free public school system, he
snid, and through a "long and con
tinuous history of incompetent and
carelet mf ngement" much of the
land has been sold or exchanged
without a fair return to the state.
Other portions, he said, have been
used by private parties for per
sonal profit without payment.
While ft program of consolidat
ing the stnto holdings through ex
change with the federal govern
ment Is pending, lie related, he
proposed the state insist upon pay
ment r such lands as are used.
He defended the recent grant of
2f,3,:,V? arreg to former Senator
R. X. Stanficld, saying the bid

The architect's drawing above shows how the building owned
and, occupied by the Roseburg branch of the United States National

Commonwealth President (Manuel

The Filipino leader defended
the island's new military program
before the foreign police aasocla
tion, which had criticized the or
ganization developed under direc
tion of General Douglas MacAr
thur. Terming laughable an assertion
that tho program represented a
"covert conspiracy to keep the
United States in the Philippines,"
Quezon said it was "the best evi
dence that we are getting ready
to depend upon ourselves for our
protection and not upon the Unit
ed Slates."
"The charge that our national
defense plan Is intended to
strengthen the military power of
America in the western Pacific In
the event of war with Jnpan is
not only groundless but mischiev
ous,' he said.
Only destruction of the Japan

the transportation of Filiptnos in
an offensive.

"As one member of the state

FAST PRICE RISES
Government Will Protect
Business by Spread of
WPA Expenditures. '
WASHINGTON, April 3. (AP)
The administration proposed to
day the use of public .works-money
In controlling', nrkiesjj as; itslqtest
answer to possible 'dangers' in busi
ness recovery. ; .
Fiscal experts explained the gov
ernment might cut the hazard of
too rapid upswing of prices in the
duvablo goods industries by reduc
ing its purchases of such goods as
steel and copper. . , .
i -Instead, the monoy would he
spent on projects intended to in
crease tho demand for consumers'
goods.
President Roosevelt's declara
tion of this new policy followed a
series of action by high officials
against the potential perils of n
business boom.
Treasury officials previously had
been studying the Inflow of for
eign money into tho United States,
which Secretary Morgenthau call
ed "a source of worry." Tho fed
eral reserve board laid the ground
work for closer control of credit
by requiring member banks lo
keep more capital on hand.
Chairman Recto of the reserve
board recently ilbcWed "inflation
ary price levels" 'ould have disas
trous effects, and called for budget
balancing. Secretary Roper usked
business to take independent ac
tion to prevent unwarranted price
rises.
Instead of spending for perman
ent , projects requiring large
amounts of steel and other durable
goods, the president said, the gov
ernment should dredge rivers and
build earthen dams, spreading pur
chasing power for foodstuffs, cloth
ing and similar consumer articles.
Mr. Roosevelt's statement sent
stock prices tumbling $1 to $f,
with durable goods shares plung
ing downward.
Federal reserve board experts
have advocated using relief funds
as a balance wheel against com
modity price trends for some time.
Commerce department reports
showed heavy foreign buying as a
probably factor in durable goods
prlco increases, listing substantial
upturns In exports of both steel
and copper this year.

REGARDED CLOSED
Widow Continues Hunt for
Facts, However; Reward
of $25,000 Unpaid.
TRENTON, N. J., April 3. (AP)
A doctor stepped back from
Bruno Richard Hauptmann a year
ago tonight and said: "This man
Is dead." Tho ensuing year has
produced nothing official to chal
lenge the justice of tho sentence.
" In the records or Hunterdon
couniy tho case Is marked "clos
ed." The last echo of the Haupt
mann trial wns stilled a week ngo
when a perjury indlctmeu tngalnst
a defense witness was dismissed.
J n state police headquarters at
Trenton, the voluminous Lindobrgh
file is occasionally increased by
letters giving "tips" or "new evl
denre." All are checked out as
routine polico work, but nuuo has
stood up.
Tho $25,000 reward is still un
paid, but ono house of tho legisla
ture has already voted to appropri
ate the money.
Governor Harold G. Hoffman,
whose entrance into the caso cre
ated a furor when courts were
weighing Hauptmann's appeal, still
holds to his belief that the execu
tion did not solve the case. The
extent of his private investigations
is not known excopt for sporadic
rumors and reports of "new evi
dence." Mrs. Anna Hauptmann still con
tinues her senrch for facts which
she hopes will exonerate her bus;
hand and some private individuals
pursue the so far futile quest.
In Ihe opinion of tho men who
prosecuted Hauptmann, the last
word on the rpicstiou of his guilt
was said long ago when tho state's
highest court, denying Haupt
mann's appeal, held "tho verdict
is one to which tho evidence
Inescapably led."
