Everett Sanders, 'Best Sec
retary a President Ever
Had Returns to Politics
As Campaign Head
By Alexander R. George
WASHINGTON (AP) Directing the
republican forces In the big battle
of lB3a will be the log-cabin born
HooalR who for four years was Presi
dent Coolldgea "shock-absorber."
Aa chairman of the republican na
tlonal committee, Everett Sanders, nf
Indiana, comes back Into the center
of the political spotlight after four
years of relative obscurity to fulfill
predictions that he was headed for
high place in hla party.
Praise from Coolldpe
When Sanders, as secretary to
President Coolldge from 1925 to 1028,
was doing his "shock-absorbing" work
for the chief executive, observers said
he was destined to be an Important
figure In politics for years to come.
So well did he perform his Job, as
a buffer between the president, the
politicians and the public, that Mr.
Coolldge himself said "he was the
best secretary a president ever had."
When the president "chose not to
t
I j ' ' I'll
lllllli ni
run again" and the Hoover regime
came in, Sander returned to his law
practice. His selection now to head
the party In the coming campaign
Is described as a strategic alliance of
the Hoover and Coolldge political
forces.
Bom To Poverty
Selection of this former congress
man, schooled In Indiana and nation
al politics and familiar with presi
dential problems. Is regarded by party
politicians aa a happy choice.
He was formerly a law partner ol
the late Jamea W. Ooocl of Iowa, and
like Good he Is credited with expert
knowledge of political problems in
the middle west.
Born to poverty. Sanders taught
In a high school for 5S a month and
did Janitorial work at the school to
earn an additional 10 cents a day.
Later he waited on table while
studying law at the unlveralty of In
diana, was vice president of his law
class and played on the basketball
team.
He was a member of the house
from 1917 to 1915. and rated one of
the ablest parliamentarians In con
gress. In 1934 he almost won the ylce
presidency. Powerful O. O. P. lead
ers at the Cleveland convention had
selected him, the story goes, as a
running mate for President Coolldge.
But owing to an Indiana political
quarrel he failed to get the aupport
of the Hooaier delegation.

Fine Set of Bells
To Be Feature Of
Concert At Church
Swiss Bells and Swiss cheese are
known throughout the world, but
contrary to the common belief,
Swiss Belts are cast In England and
not In Switzerland. One of the
largest peals In America is featured
by the Hanna Concert company at
the First Christian church tonight.
nils set of bells, over 50 in number,
has been used extensively for con
cert work In Europe and America.
The bells range in weight from a
few ounces to several pounds and
have proven a sensation wherever
heard. They are used for quartet
selections only and for a wide va
riety of music adapted to their
peculiar quality of tone.
Earl Hanna Is an outstanding mem
ber of the company this season. His
genial personality and wide expe
rience have gained for him the repu
tation of an entertainer par ex
cellence. His accord lan solos are
always well received. He is equally
accomplished as a singer, pianist
and composer. Other members of
the group are Brown Hanna. director
of the organization. Le Roy Hay
and Victor Jacobs. The program Is
free, but a silver offering will be

ALLEGED HOAXER

nurse, and Mrs. Olive Wheatley, the
housekeeper. Both were at the Lind
bergh home In Hopewell when the
baby was stolen. Both were ques
tioned at the time by police. Ana
both were completely exonerated of
any Implication.
Curtis' story of the xianaping,
he told Lindbergh he learned it from
the kidnapers themselves, was as ioi
lows, according to Lindbergh's testl
mony today:
Baby Chloroformed
The kidnaping was staged by two
men, John and another known as Eric
or Nils, who came from Newark. After
conferring with the unnamed member
of the Lindbergh household wiey
chloroformed the baby, taking him I
from the house through the pantry
door downstairs. A green sedan was
parked a few hundred yards from the
house and the baby was taken away
in that, under care of a nurse called
Gretchen. With the baby lying in an
Improvised cradle In the car the kid
napers drove to Cape May, N. J.,
where they boarded the schooner.
Lindbergh said Curtis told him
that Gretchen wrote all the ransom
notes.
All during Lindbergh's testimony
Curtis sat at the defense table, his
head held high, listening Intently.
Curtis Had Fears
Shortly before he put out on the
boat, Cacholot, on May 9 In a new
effort to contact the kidnapers, Lind
bergh, continued, Curtis told him of
meeting "Hilda," one of the alleged
kidnap band, in a New York railroad
station.
"I feel I know too much for my
own good about the people I'm deal
ing with," Colonel Lindbergh quoted
Curtis as telling him on that occa
sion. Colonel Lindbergh aald on numer
ous occasions when Curtis told him
of contacts with the kidnapers and
Instructions they gave him, both Ed
mund Bruce of Elmlra, N. Y., and
Lieutenant George Richards, U. S. N.,
were present.
Bruce drove Curtis about on his re
puted contact trips. Richards, navy
filer, piloted Curtis on many of his
Journeys.
Had Faith in Servants
In telling of Curtis' remarks about
a member of the Lindbergh house
hold being implicated In the k.dnap
lng, Colonel Lindbergh expressed en
tire faith In his servants.
"We have only three servants and
have absolute faith in them," he tes
tified.
Prosecutor Anthony Hauck asked
Le)
. . a
Lindbergh what explanation Curtis
gave when efforts to make contact i
with the kidnapers repeatedly failed. !
He said Hilda explained her hus
band was In a difficult position but
would try to make contact," Lind
bergh replied. "Mr. Curtie said he
told her using his words if they
were 'gin plggllng' me to lay eo
and get out."
Tells Finding of Body
Lindbergh came to the point in his
story where he had to tell of the dis
covery of the baby's death. He spoke
in a steady voice.
"On May 13," he said. "Mr. Bruce
told me my son's body had been
found.' '
"Did you Identify the body?" the
prosecutor asked.
"Yes."
"How?"
"By the clothes and the feet.'1
Colonel Lindbergh said when the
baby was found dead Curtli told
him he would do everything possible
to bring the kidnapers to Justice.
On May 13, he said, Curtis repeat
ed substantially all his story of the
negotiations with the kidnapers.
Curtis Not Present
Colonel Lindbergh said .he was mak
ing the last effort to reach the kid
napers before it was learned the baby
was dead he was not accompanied on
the boat, Cacholot, by Curtis.
The prosecution completed Its di
rect examination of Colonel Lind
bergh at 11:6 a. m. (E. S. T.), and
cross examination began.
Before being turned over to the
defense Colonel Lindbergh testified
that after the baby's body was found
he promised Curtis to do everything
he could to give Curtis a chance to
buck up his story. Then on May 16
Curtis made the confession that all
his negotiations had been a hoax, a
confession he has since repudiated.
"He said he had hoped to sell his
story to a newspaper," Colonel Lind
bergh said, "but he could not give
reasons for everything he did. He
was embarrassed when he made toe
; statement."

a rate of $6.50 per acre In the

AT DIAMOND LAKE
AS FEAST E
DIAMOND LAKJfi. June 38, (Spl)
Fishing conditions have improved,
over those prevailing last week. War
dens at the state fish hatchery at
tributed poor fishing to the abund
ance of moaqultoe on the surface
of the lake. These peat are present
In hordes for about two weeks In
June each year. After which they
die and literally thousands float on
the surface of the lake for a short
time.
Fish opened at the hatchery show
ed that they had gorged themselves
on these Insects. And for that reas
on were not disposed to strike arti
ficial bait. However few went out
without getting at least one or two
fish.
Mosqultos have now practically
disappeared, and It la expected fish
ing will be normal this week.
The management expresses satis
faction over the rate at which reser
vations are being received for the
triple holiday over the Fourth of
July. In previous years the resort
has always been filled to capacity
on this date. And though there are
yet available, all types of cottages
and boats, it is believed the special
attractions planned by the manage
ment will draw the usual crowd In
spite of economic conditions. Reser
vations are being received both by
letter and phone.
A. J. Jaenlcke, entymologlst of the
U. S. forest service, from Portland,
completed bis survey of the pine
beetle menace In the lake area and
reported only seven infested trees.
These were cut and burned.
The lodge Is being repainted. Also
a new surface put on walks and
paths damaged during the winter.
Shrubbery killed by heavy snow will
be replaced as quickly as possible.
