'BEANED' DIZZY ON
TODAY TO
By PAUL MALLON.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 5 Life's
most embarrassing moment for the
liver enthusiasts co-me the other d&y
when China walked In and protested
strongly against our silver policy.
Since then, the new deal advisers,
who are respon
sible for the ad
ministration ac
cepting this pol
icy, have been
Tery, very un
comfortable. They are suppos
ed to be search
ing for a rear
rangement In the
policy, which
may be announc
ed soon. If one
can be found.
administration may get some new sti
ver adviser.
A protest from China la not In lt
aelf a world -shaking development.
What makes It o bad la that the sil
ver boya always contended their pol
icy would restore the purchasing
power ol the Orient. Indeed, epeechea
have been made on the floor of the
United Statea senate that the whole
world depression was due to depreci
ation ot Oriental purchasing power,
brought on by lower silver prices.
Senatorial silver campalgnera In
elated that all you needed to do to
cure the depression throughout the
world waa to boost the price ol silver.
They were Just 10O per cent wrong.
... ritftmitea China's con
tention that the sliver policy la hurt
ing her. She .sn buy more with
higher silver values, but can sell less.
Her unfavorable trade balance drains
silver from her country.
, You can get a good squint at how
It works by looking at the last trade
ilcures. In August, we sold her a
third more than we did In August of
last year. But we bought from her
only half aa much aa we bought In
August. 1933.
That leavea her with an unfavor
able trade balance of about .2.500.000
with ua for the single month of Aug
ust. She can pay ua that excess only
by shipping ua silver.
Behind the current triumphant
American tour of thla Chinese gen
eral, Tsal Tlng-Kal. there seems to be
a somewhat Indefinite Idea that he
may soon become the ruler of China,
with or without a revolution.
The American Chinese are atrong
for him. Everywhere he goes, they
give him a big hand. He la the moat
popular Chinese since Sun Hat-Sen.
ut no one from the Chinese lega
tion or consular offices goes near him.
He saved Shanghai two years ago, but
he la still a rebel. The rich merchants
of southern China, however, like him.
They are supposed to be financing his
trip.
The Jupaneso laughed when Gen
eral Billy Mitchell announced we
could destroy Japan with a fleet of,
aay 40 dirigibles. That made It un
animous. The Howell committee, before
which Mitchell made his statement,
even tittered, Itself. So did the spec
tators, most of whom were technical
aviation expert.
Every time the brilliant air en
thusiast opens hi mouth a sensation
comes out, but no newspaper would
hire him as a cub reporter becauae he
has a habit of letting his enthusiasm
lead him Into exaggeration. A, for
instance, hi testimony about the
United States being five year behind
In military air development. Every
Impartial airman will tell you the
truth i that Europe 1 about two
yeara behind u.
If the European nation were not
behind us, they would not now be
buying plane from us.

Story of Cardinal Rout
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8. (AP) The
red badge of courage flared like a
beacon In the fighting hearts of the
St. Louis Cardinals tonight as they
accepted defeat and soberly reflect
ed the close escape of their star of
stars, Dizzy Dean.
Those Cardlnala had been nearly
clawed to pieces by the growling
Bengal Tiger, suffering their worst
licking In a month, yet. they were
crinntng and eupremely confident
thev would triumph In the end.
Frankle Prlsch, leader of the Card
inals, accepted the defeat with a
smile.
"What's there to say?" he asked.
"We simply got the hell beat out of
us. That's all there Is to It."
Dean, knocked unconscious when
Billy Rogell, Tiger shortstop, hit him
in the head with a vicious throw
when Dean came charging Into sec
ond base, will pitch for the Cardinals
tomorrow, according to Frlsch.
Dean was taken to a hospital by
Dr. Robert P. Hyland for an X-ray
examination merely as a precaution
ary measure. He said Dean was not
seriously Injured and showed no Ill
effects except a big headache.
After Dean had been carried ' ofl
the field, he was placed In bed In
the dressing room, his head packed
in Ice. Later he went to the hospital
with his wife for the examination.
You can't hurt me, hitting me In
the head." Dean said. "I never knew
I was hit until I woke up on the
ground. I didn't see the throw atu.
All I saw was a lot or stars ana
moons and cats and dogs."
"Sure, I'm gonna pitch tomorrow.
I've been dyln' to get at them Tig
ers again. I'll beat 'em. too."
The ball that hit Dean left no
mark on his forehead. It crashed
against the skull and bounced 50
feet In the air like a skyrocket.
One thing which I behind all this
aviation and battleship hoopla I that
the administration now la making up
Its budget for next year.
The airmen In the army and navy
naturally want to get all they can for
planes. The aea admiral want the
Hons ahare tor battleships: the plane
manufacturers, shipbuilders and dir
igible constructor are pushing on

eral Judge Edgar 8. Vaught aa he de
clared the federal courts stand aa a

argument of demurrers to the Indict
ment of Jack Klnnebrew, Oklahoma

Norman dealer, Judge Vaught scored
government attorneys for their con
tention that the retail sale of new
cars and the trade-In of old ones Is a
transaction of interstate commerce.
"If this la true," the Jurist said,
"then congress has the right to regu
late that sale price of the suit of

what price I shall pay or a merchant
shall charge for the shotgun shells 1
buy; and everything la Interstate

With Roosevelt policies the clear-

old guard republicans, lenders In both
parties are using verbal hammers In

As the campaign progresses on sJl

NEW YORK, Oct. 8. (AP) Bruno
Richard Hauptmann waa Identified
today by a former neighbor of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh a a man he
had seen emerging from underbrush
on the Lindbergh estate near Hope
well, N. J., a few weeks before the
aviator's Infant son waa kidnaped.
The testimony, given by Millard
Whlted of Lambertvllle, N. J., was
the first which has been disclosed
linking Hauptman to the scene of
the abduction.
Whlted picked the German car
penter, held on a charge of extort
ing the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom,
from a lineup of JO men at tho
Bronx county courthouse.
Then he told Captain J. J. Lamb
of the New Jersey state police he
was certain Hauptmann was the man
he had observed lurking tn the
bushes on two occasions. Whlted was
permitted to return home after Cap
tain Lamb said It would be unnec
essary to hold him as a material
witness. Lamb also went back to
Jersey, taking with him a panel
from Hauptmann's home on which
telephone numbers pertaining to the
case had been written.
Whlted, who formerly lived on
small farm near the Lindbergh es
tate, first told his story of seeing
a mysterious stranger to state police
on the night of the kidnaping, March
l, 1933.
When Hauptmann was arrested, the
farmer was sought Immediately. He
was located only two day a ago.
Simultaneously It waa announced
Colonel Lindbergh will be one of 23
witnesses before the Hunterdon
county grand Jury at Flemlngtoit,
N. J., Monday, when Hauptmann's
Indictment on kidnaping and nui
der charges will be asked.
Hauptmann was brought from his
cell In the Bronx county Jail to the
courthouse during the morning fc-r
visit with his wife. The prisoner's
wrists were shackled.
Four guards were present for the
15-mlnute meeting, at the end of
which Mrs. Hauptmann reaffirmed
her belief that her husband Is in
nocent.
"Not for a minute iave I douDv-
ed he was Innocent," she said. "I am
more firmly convinced than ever. Yoa
see, 2 have found out a tot of things
since they arrested him.
"If the police tell the truth, every
body will feel like I do, that Bruno
could not have done that horrible
thing."
Mrs. Hauptmann was asked If she
could remember what she and her
husband were doing on the night
of the kidnaping and on the night
when Dr. John F. Condon turned
over the 850.000 ransom money In a
Bronx cemetery.
If I could only remember th?e
yeara back, it would be such a help."
she exclaimed.
The district attorney reported h
was ready to absolve the late Isa
dora Fisch from complicity In Mis
extortion case. Hauptmann has as
serted Flsch gave him the ransom
money discovered In his garage.
