M. J. Kallock MILWAUKEE, April 6-(P-The Milwaukee Sentinel said tonight that a Milwaukee priest yester day came into the Lindbergh kid naping case with evidence which shatters the testimony or Bruno Richard Hauptmann and some of his principal alibi witnesses. The Sentinel said the priest, the Rev. Michal J. Kallock, pas tor of St. Joseph's church in Cu dahy, a suburb of Milwaukee, told a story which Indicated, the Sentinel said, "that the plot against the Lindbergh family was fostered many months before the kidnaping and that Bruno Haupt man knew every Inch of the grounds surrounding the Lind bergh estate." .The information Is now in the hands of the department of Jus tice, who have relayed it to New Jersey authorities for farther in vestigation, the SentinelvSaid. The Sentinel said that for five years prior to taking" up his pas torate here. Father Kallock was pastor of St. Michael's Catholic church on the outskirts of Tren ton, N. J. The high spots in Father Kal lock's story, the Sentinel said, were the following: "That Bruno Hauptmann fre quented a riding stable and road side rendezvous within several miles of the Lindbergh estate for many months prior to the kidnap ing. "That Hauptmann often rode alone in the woodlands about the riding stable and within a cou ple of miles of the Lindbergh home, and at ftImVJifa1rfeen coming from that section of the woods where, many months later, the infant's body was found." "That Hauptmann studied a set of plans of the Lindbergh estate in the office of an architect who had been bidding for the work on the Sourland Mountain estate of the aviator ace. "That Mrs. Greta Henckel, blonde Bronx manicurist, and El vert Carlstrom, New York car penter both of whom appeared as defense witnesses had been seen by him at the rendezvous and about the riding stable grounds." Father Kallock in telling his story, the Sentinel said, did not qualify it in any-way. The Sentinel - quoted Father Kallock: "I saw Hauptmann many times. I saw him sitting on the porch of the building. I saw him riding in the woods. I talked with him and one time he saddled a horse for me. I saw him looking over a set of plans for the Lindbergh home and when he noticed I was looking at the plans he covered them up." COLONIAL TRADING 1 RENO, Nev.

At almost the same time In the house, advocates of a central monetary authority, which would have full control over currency is suance, forced the reopening of house hanking committee hear ings on the omnibus banking bill. The senate bloc offered modi fications to the Patman new mon ey bonus bill wh'ch Its members contended would make the meas ure more acceptable to the admin istration. It also organized to de mand action on the wheeler bill for free coinage of silver. At the request of Representa tive Goldsborough (D-Md) and other house committee members Chairman Steagall (D-Ala) agreed to reopen the banking hearings Monday for testimony from Frank A. Vanderlip, New York flnan cier, and other witnesses. The bonus and ailver bills were made the rallying points for a new monetary drive after a series of conferences among senators favoring currency expansion. Four committees were set up to steer the group action on these and other legislative rroposals. Those participating in the con ferences included the men who have led Inflationary drives of the past two years, culminating in the Thomas inflation law of 1933 and the silver purchase act of 1934. There has been comparatively little activity hy the bloc as a group this session, however.

The king of kings, the conquer ing lion of Judah and the descen dant of the queen of Sheba summed up the Italy-Ethiopian frontier dispute to an interviewer thus: "We have tried to negotiate directly with Italy, or through an intermediary. Unfortunately Italy has declined arbitration and has not replied to our proposals. Therefore we have broken off ne gotiations and submitted the mat ter to Geneva." (The League of Nations an nounced receipt of WTiiopia's de mand for urgent treatment of the dispute, the Ethiopian note citing reports that thousands of Egyp tian workmen are being employed to build roads to the Ethiopian frontier of Italy's colonies).

A 9 p. m. bulletin said "tem perature 102, pulse 120, respira tion 28, somewhat uncomfortable but condition otherwise satisfac tory." Several of his organs were transferred from his left chest cavity to their proper position and a tear in his diaphragm the mus cular partition separating the chest front' the stomach, was closed. In some respects the operation was more serious than that per formed at the same hospital about a month ago on Alyce Jane Mc Henry, 10, of Omaha, Neb., who has since travelled far toward re covery. Jimmy's stomach had expanded to more than twice its . normal size and had intruded in the left chest cavity, although it was not upside-down, as in Alyce's case. The Intestines, appendix and spleen also had invaded the left chest, collapsing the lung. Enlargement of the stomach and attendant complications made necessary a larger opening through the ribs In Jimmy's left side and possibly increased the danger of subsequent complica tions.

J. Dickinson of Iowa, with a declar ation" that the "shortcomings of the 'new deal' recovery plans can no longer be charged to the 'brain trust'.". His direct arraignment of the president, delivered in this south ern state that deserted the demo cratic ranks to swing to Herbert Hoover in 1928, marked one of the few limes that foes of the new deal swune from attack upon that Htla tn Ti1ar resoonslbilitv for what they term is failure up on Mr. Roosevelt. Dickinson has been mentioned as a prospective republican candi date for president in 1936 and his address tonight was regarded as particularly significant in view of known efforts by republican cam paign strategists to have Mr. Roosevelt personally bear the brunt of party attack. Think President Has Lost Some Support Those in favor of such a course have argued that the president has lost some of his popularity and that in any event if a cam paign is to be effective it must be directed at President Roosevelt as the leader of the democratic party. Senator Dickinson tonight open ed with an assertion that under democratic administration "the sky is growing darker and no man knows what the weather will be tomorrow." Repeatedly he cited Roosevelt's enmnalfn statements to support the contention they are far dif ferent ffOm present administra tion policies.

High Italian quarters tonight expressed irrita tion with England and doubt of France in connection with tri power conference at Stresa which opens next Thursday. At Stresa foreign ministers of the three nations will consider -Germany's rearmament, European problems arising in its wake and the old problem of security against war. Italy's attitude can be summed up thus: 1. Annoyance with England be cause England apparently believes in a conciliatory attitude toward Germany, wants a general Euro pean accord and does not want an alliance. 2. Doubt of. France because France, believed here to be under England's Influence, is seemingly moving toward the Idea of a gen eral accord. 3. Belief that some definite stand, such as an alliance, must be taken by the three western powers without regard to any general pact. The Italian press agrees that Italy's program at Stresa, which Premier Mussolini is drafting in his "mountain of meditation" at Rocca Delle Carminade, Forli pro vince, will be: 1. An accord to uphold Aus tria's Independence, in whleh Ger many may or may not ' partici pate. 2.
