s statehouse affairs were
settling down to the anti-climax
which follows the accession of a
new administration, talk of a spe
cial session of the 38th legislative
assembly has been resumed at the
capital and given weight, or Gov
ernor Martin's admission -'yesterday
that such a gathering might
be necessary.
The immediate occasion for the
assembly would be amendment of
Oregon's old-age pension law,
with its present minimum of 70
years for all pension recipients.
This would be changed to a 65
year minimum provided for in the
social security act which passed
the -national; house during the
week. The U. S. senate hasn't done
its usual amputation job and un
til the measure is signed by the
president, Oregon doesn't know
precisely what will be asked of it
to obtain its pension match-money
from Uncle Sam. If a 65-year age
minimum is required, the neces
sary amendment would be made
quickly by a special session and
one would probably be called.

Relief Probe Report
Will be Released
This week will bring a report to
Governor Martin from his special
Investigating committee which has
been digging into state relief af
fairs' since the legislature ad
journed. The committee has con
cluded its non-publicized hearings
and has done some personal dig
ging around In the country relief
committees setups. While Sen
ator McCornack, chairman of the
probers, has kept very silent
about the findings of his investi
gators, from good sources it Is
known that no startling exposures
of relief administration expendi
tures or procedure are to be forth
coming. The bulk of the- com
plaints heard by the investigators
were from citizens on relief, who
protest that they have not re
ceived adequate provisions or
work to keep them. These com
plaints are far afield from the
talk of ; "graft" and mlllion-and-
one-half dollar steals which were
freely bruited about by such or
ators as Representative Warren
Erwin who "demanded" the in
vestigation in the closing days pf
the last session.
Some criticisms of the manner
In which, relief has been handled
will be in the committee's report
and there will be suggestions on
how relief administration can be
.Improved. Nothing will be brought
out calling for reorganization of
the relief setup In the state or the
removal of Elmer Goudy as ad
ministrator.7:

.: Rally Frowned on .
WASHINGTON, April 20.-(ff)-While
an extraordinary gathering
here of republican leaders today
sang a theme of spurring region
al meetings but steering away
from candidates, it was disclosed,
coincidentally, that an Incipient
presidential boom for Got. Alf
Langdon .of Kansas had altered
plans for holding a giant G. O. P.
meeting in Kansas City.
No word of this shift came from
the unusual party strategy .meet
ing that gathered around a cap-
itol luncheon - table. Present
among a score of prominent re
publicans were five men mention
ed as possible presidential can
didates. It was one of the largest
informal party rallies, since the
1932 convention.
In other quarters, however, It
was asserted the theme of steering
away trom candidates at this
stage of preparation for 1936 has
led to plans for shifting the pro
posed rally of midwestern repub
licans from Kansas City to either
St. Louis, Minneapolis, Indianap
olis or Chicago. ,
Present at today's meeting were
Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of
the republican national commit
tee; Senators McNary of Oregon,
the minority leader, Vandenberg
of Michigan, Dickinson of Iowa,
Borah of Idaho, and Capper of
Kansas; Representative Snell,
house minority leader, former
ice President Charles Curtis;
ormer Secretary of War Patrick
J. Hurley and others
tThe luncheon, tendered by Rep-
pesentativer Gtryer
Kansas to William Allen White,
Emporia editor, developed an ap
parent unity of purpose, but sev
eral speakers differed as to the
method of approach. .The Roose
velt administration also came- In
for criticism.
All agreed the regional meeting
idea was a sound one, including
Chairman Fletcher, who said the
fact that it sprang . from the
grass-roots' was a healthy sign
of a revival of party Interest.

Presence of Lindbergh in
Court Each Day One of
Issues Stressed
Immense Publicity, "Circus
Maximus" of Trial Said,
to Influence Jury
TRENTON, N; J.; April :2"0.-HP)
-Bruno Richard Hauptmann's
counsel charged today that Col
onel Charles A. Lindbergh's daily
presence at the Flemlngton trial
"unduly influenced" the Jury,
which saw in him "a bereaved
father for whose sorrow the world
demanded a sacrifice '.
The allegation was one of 143
"manifest errors" defense counsel
filed with the clerk of the court
of errors and appeals, the state's
highest tribunal, which on June
20 will hear Hauptmann's appeal
from conviction of the Lindbergh
baby kidnap-murder. Papers were,
seived also on Hunterdon County
Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck, jr.
Egbert Rosecrans, a member of
defense staff, announced he would
carry the appeal, if necessary, to
the United States supreme court
He cited the alleged violation of
Hauptmann's rights, guaranteed
by the sixth and 14th amend
ments, as grounds for such ac
tion.
The "assignments of errors" al
leged that Hauptmann's rights un
der the sixth amendment were
contravened because he was tried
in Hunterdon county and not
Mercer, "the district wherein the
crime was committed. '
Lindbergh's presence at the
trial, causing the jury to view him
a "the real prosecutor," was cit
ed as a violation of the "due pro
cess of law" guarantee of the 14 th
amendment.
In the same category were list
ed "biased and exaggerated news
paper reports and stories . . . be
fore the trial and which unduly
Inflamed the members of the jury
panel against this defendant" and
"the hysterical mob spirit with
which the jury was surrounded
during the entire conduct' of the
trial."
"And because," the arguments
continued, "the picture of a cir

sented to the jury during all of
