WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. Pol'.tl-
clana always think a long way ahead.
Already there has been talk, serious
talk, In the clois
tered Inner circle,
about who will be
President Roose
velt's running
mate In '36 and
who will be the
?rown prince in
o.
The only con
elusion about the
crown prince
phase Is that
there la now no

Deal big enough

to take over Mr.
Many names have
been discussed privately. Most of
them are unsatisfactory. None seems
to be a perfect choice.
There have been rumors that Mr.
Roosevelt was grooming Donald Rich-
berg to . be the heir apparent. These
are based solely on the obvious fact
that Mr. Richberg comes closer to
measuring up to the ' requirements
than most of the others. He might
be built up.
The main point at this moment Is
Mat several eligtbles (not Mr. Rich
berg) are beginning to hear their
names mentioned and are conducting
themselves accordingly.
Compliance With Wage and
Hour Provisions Will Be
Retained, Is View Child
Labor Ban . Is Continued
The big minds of New Deal politics
seem to accept it as a fact that Vice
President Garner will not be a can
dldate for re-election. He has said
as much in private. Sessions of con
gress are a great Inconvenience to his
fiahlng and hunting schedule.
Until recently, most of the boys
have believed that Mr. Garner would
ultimately be talked Into running
again. Now they seem to think a
younger man is needed, although Mr.
Garner is still spry enough to be In
charge of handling congress for Mr.
Roosevelt.
They have drawn a line around the
north central states and have con
cluded that Mr. Roosevelt's next, run
ning mate must come from that ter
ritory, preferably from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Kentucky. Missouri, Nebraska.
Iowa or Kansas. They say this ts the
area In which the administration now
Is weakest politically. They want a
man who will give It strength there.
Three names have entered Into
their casual discussion of possibilities,
Senator Barklcy of Kentucky, the
new Senator Burke of Nebraska, and
Senator Clark of Missouri.
NEW YORK, Dee. 13. (AP) Clay
Williams, chairman of the Industrial
recovery board, predicted today price-
fixing would be eliminated from the
new NRA.
Sketching for a business luncheon
meeting his Ideas on what the new
NRA would be. Williams foresaw that
it would continue:
1. Minimum wages and maximum
hours.
3. The ban on child labor.
3. The collective bargaining guar
antee. 4. Provisions against certain un
fair trade practices.
Full compliance with wage and
hour provisions, Williams said, would
largely eliminate the need for prlce
flxlng. ''I am not unaware of the Im
portance In which some groups still
hold the provisions of their codes
that were designed, inserted and
Insisted upon as necessary to their
chance of prosperity," he explained.
"And yet. I raise before you the
question whether the problem of
compliance with wage provisions and
the problem of price maintenance
provisions are In fact two separate
problems requiring two separate ans
wers or whether on the other hand
the two problems are not so closely
inter-related that the- answer to the
first automatically solves the second
for most Industries and businesses
as to great an extent as it can never
be solved In any other way."
He said "in many Instances the
enforcement of price-fixing provis
ions with fairness to all concerned
has been found to be all but impossible.-
The exact form of the new NRA
act. Williams said, "la not so Im
portant."
'The important thing Is that pub
lic opinion in this country has

The vague cable stories coming out
of Singapore lately about Japanese
spies have a very Interesting back
ground, If our diplomatic grapevine
advnecs are to be trtistcd.
You will not hear very much about
the spy situation because the British
governor, Sir Shenton Thomas, Is
supposed to have issued an nppcal to
British newsmen to go easy on it in
the Interests of the king and empire.
That appeal never falls to bring co
operation, which really is voluntary
censorship.
The grapevine says that the Brit
ish Intelligence police have raided
Japanese homes; summoned one
prominent Japanese resident Into
headquarters only to have him fall
dead on the floor; deported all sus
pected spies (mostly Japanese) Just
before naval maneuvers were to start,
and then conducted the Important
part of the maneuvers at night.
These maneuvers are supposed to
be the most spectacular yet under
taken at Singapore. The British have
a curtained $250,000,000 naval base
there which they are hastening to
completion. Ovir people hear that
more than 10.000 laborers are at work
on the project and that It will be
finished by the end of next year, in
stead of 1039. as originally planned
The base will have two airports,

will accommodate about 1000 fight

have a fortified underground section

FLEMINGTON. N. J., Dec. 13. (V,
Supreme Court Justice Thomas W
Trenchard today denied II defense
requests for particulars on the mur
der indictment against Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann, Lindbergh kldn&p
alaylng suspect, but directed the stay.
to fulfill the defense demand for tht
prosecution theory on how young
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.. met his
death.
In an hour-long hearing in the
presence of the defendant Haupt
mann, the Justice told the atato that
five days after the service of a de
fense request It might supply all the
information It can "with reasonable
certainty" give on lt theory of tie
cause of the young child's death.
The court declined to order vhc
state to specify whether it would pro
ceed against Hauptmann on t'.ie
theory that he murdered the child
with premeditation, or whether It
would contend that the baby was
killed In the commission of a felony
He likewise refused a request tc
have the prosecution state whether,
It would proceed against Hauptmann
aa a, criminal who perpetrated t.tv
crime single-handed, or as the mem
ber of a gang.
The defense met further reversal
In Its efforts to have Trenchard
order the ransom notes from the
kidnaper to Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh Impounded. State experts have
said the notea were written by Haupt
mann,
In refuting this request Trenchard
said he thought that Attorney Gen
eral David T. WUcntTS, chief of the
state's forces In the Hauptmann case,
would grant defense attorneys per
mission to examine the notes as
much as necessary.
Defense requests for Information
whether the state contended all the
ransom notes were written in the
same hand, and byHauptmann, were
held by Trenchard to "call for evi
dence, and that the state Is not re
quired to give."
