EVIDENCE SEEN
AGIST BRUNO
Priest Formerly in Jersey
Says Hauptmann Spent
Months in Region
Saw Him Studying Plans of
Lindbergh Estate Says
Rev. 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."

INFLATION BLOC
DO U SES ITSELF
FOR N El DRIVE
Cashing of Veteran Bonus,
Remonetizing Silver
to Be Advocated
Monetary Authority With
Power Over Currency
Sought in House
WASHINGTON, April 6-UP)-
The long dormant senate inflation
bloc roused itself today for a
drive to put more money in circu
lation by cashing the veterans'
bonus and remonetizing silver.
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.

opian soldiers, with no rattling of

Haile Selassie's answer to Italy's
concentration of troops in Africa.
The king of kings, the conquer

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

to build roads to the Ethiopian
frontier of Italy's colonies).

"Upside Down Stomach"
Operations, Claim
FALL RIVER, Mass., April 6.-(JP)-A
difficult and comparatively
rare operation was performed to
day at the Truesdale hospital on
Jimmy Neilson, 13-year old San
Jose, Cal., victim of a ruptured
diaphragm and the hospital to
night said that although "some
what uncomfortable" his condi
tion was "otherwise satisfactory."
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.

ON ROOSEVELT

Faults of Administration
Cannot All Be Laid to
Brain Trust, Held
Senator Dickinson of Iowa
First to Take Rap at
New Deal Chief
ROANOKE, Va., April
A direct attack upon President
Roosevelt was made tonight by a
republican leader, Senator L. 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

"Verily," Dickinson said, "can
didate Roosevelt is a total strang

Is $2,188,875. Of this $290,000
goes for - widows' and mothers'

which are being applied for now

was not as restricted in the pur

as was the federal loan made in
1934. A portion of the loan may

ROME, April 6. High Italian
quarters tonight expressed irrita

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

1. An accord to uphold Aus

Germany and Poland have re
