OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1934. ' ZA .W.... , fj B) - (Continued from page one.) on It, the convict declared he bad torn off the signature. This waa corroborated by the ward en's daughter, Mlsa Amanda Thomas, the prison censor, who said ahe re membered the signature of "Bruno" and alo remembered seeing the name 'Hauptmann" on letters sent to Peullln. Convict's Tnle Doubted With interest shown In thia devel opment by federal agents, It waa , learned that paullin may be brought eaat to confront Hauptmann. i District Attorney Foley, however, paid little head to the convict's story. "It's a bust," he said. In Trenton, Major Charles H. ; Schoeffel, assistant superintendent of Jersey police, said the code mesige waa "never produced here and the in formation given to us was that it waa: unsigned." As the investigation was rushed in, an effort to apprehend any possible! accomplices. Including a mysterious woman who has figured in the cae from the start, police disclosed that Hauptmann had tried in vain to gain entrance to the safety deposit box of Isadore Flsch, a friend of Hauptmann who went to Germany two years ago and died there. ! Hauptmann said he found the 13.-i 750 in ransom billa discovered in his, garage, also the billa he passed. In 1 belongings of Flsch left at his home. 1 Dead Friend's Gold Police also disclosed that Flsch paid for his passage to Germany with some gold certificates. The ransom bll's were gold certificates. The safety deposit box incident was told to police by Louis Blltaer, an at torney retained by Flsch's relatives to clear up hla estate shortly after he died suddenly in Lelpslg. Blitzer said Hauptman came to him, asked for permission to look Into the box and waa denied such. While District Attorney Foley term ed Flsch only a "friend" of Haupt mann as far as he was concerned. Dr. John F. Conden, the "Jafsie" who as Intermediary paid over the ransom, urged officials to order Flsch'a body exhumed and an autopsy performed to determine If hla waa violent death. Flsch obtained hla passport for the German trip on May 12, 1933 the day the Lindbergh baby's body wis found in the Sourland mountain woods a few miles from the Hopewull borne. "Jafsie" told of "another man and a woman, who accompanied Fiach, to Germany. "Other Man" Quizzed The "other man" was established as Henry Uhllg. a friend. Both UhUg and Flsch were in the fur business. Uhllg waa detained for questioning last night, Foley disclosed, and re leased after saying he would stay nearby to give his cooperation when ever wanted. As with Flsch, Foley said as far as he knew, Uhllg was only a friend of Hauptmann and indicated he might not be further interested in him. Federal agents, however, indicated they were not through by any meana with the Flsch angle of the Investi gation, pursuing it both in this country and abroad. Although the Investigators have re frained from publicity linking the Plsch passage gold certificates with the ransom bills, it was known that several months ago agents were work ing on a clue that some of the ran som money was used in paying for someone's passage to Germany. It was learned that at the time It was discovered a passage to Germany was paid for with ransom bills, a de posit of almost 13,000 in ransom bills was located in a New York bank. Further, the deposit slip and the sig nature on the passage reserevatlon were compared for similarity. In announcing the arrival of Col onel Lindbergh next week, end after making the statement that hla extor tion case waa complete. District At torney Foley said every note received In the case "Including the one left on the window sill" had been identified by experts as of Hauptmnnn's writ ing. This was borne out in a letter to Schwarzkopf by Albert 8. Oeborn, noted handwriting expert retained frequently by Scotland yard. Prisoner Firm Foley waa asked whether he thought Hauptmann would break down and make a confession of the crime. "Not for the present," he answered. The charges of extortion against Hauptmann will be laid before the grand Jury Monday. Foley said, but the hearing would be delayed until the arrival of Lindbergh from the west coast. ROSEBURG. Ore..

(AP) The government, acting both at home and through diplomatic channels, to. night sought In the now cold activi ties of a slight, tubercular German Isadora Flsch a final answer to the Lindbergh kidnaping. The Justice department took over from both the state and labor de partments all data on both Plsch. who died In Germany last March. Rnd Henry Uhllg. a- close friend, ar rested today In New York. State department official Imposed strict censorship on any word re garding representations to Germany. A request waa known to have gone to the refh. however, that the act ivities of Plsch be Investigated. On the word of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, arrested suspect, that Plsch had given him the ransom bills before he left this country last November, the scientific criminal lab oratory of the Justice department In vestigated Into the night all records furnished by other federal agencies The possibility that Plsch, plagued by tuberculosis, might have been the master mind in the case, waa one of the speculations considered. Out wardly, at least, omciais aid not place great weight upon this theory. Although following all leads, the opinion was held In tire office of At torney General cummlngs that, while othera probably were Involved. Haupt mann still stood as "the key man In the case. Nevertheless, one ottt sall said: "There are a lot of things we have yet to learn." 10 VOTE ANEW ON MILL CODE PIE PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 23. (AP) The northwest group seeking elimi nation of price fixing from the NRA lumber code tonight counted Its first victory. Frank H. Ransom, Portland lumber man leading the campaign, saw the first victory in the call for the West Coast Lumbermen's association board of directors to meet here Tuesday and reconsider Its recent endorse ment of price fixing. The meeting, at which the 22 mem bers will be asked to cast a vote on this highly controversial subject, was called by F. T. Titcomb of Tacoma, vice-president of the board. Opponents of price fixing point to a lumber magazine's recent secret poll which Indicated more than 80 per cent of the mills were admittedly selling under code prices. Those at tacking price fixing wish to retain wage and hour regulations of the code. A petition asking Recovery Admin istrator Johnson to discontinue price fixing has been circulated among lumber mills. f OF FRIGHT DEATH ASTORIA, Ore., Sept. 22.

(VP) The farm administration today moved its corn loan level one step nearer the parity price by increasing from 45 to 55 cents per bushel the rate at which It will lend on this year's crop. Die loans, to be made by the com modity credit corporation under 100.000.000 grant from the recon struction finance corporation, will also apply on any old grain now undr seal which farmers wish to continue to hold. This development nullified the ex tension of present corn loans to January 1, 1B35, making it necessary for farmers to have corn now stored re-inspected and re-sealed before Oc tober 15 in order to extend their loans at the new rate.
