WASHINOTON, Dee. SB. Now that
Santa Claua haa gone. It may be per
mlaslble to dlscloM that th ChrHt-
maa eve greetings
x e h a n ged by
Messrs. Rlchberg
and Johnaon were
not exactly heav
enly. They were ln
liplred by exlgen
ciea of ordinary
political pollte
neaa among
brethren of the
new deal, and by
aomeone with a
telephone who
was able to tell
both boys what the exigencies of po
litical polltene&s In the new deal are.
But It la Just as well the greetings
were exchanged between Me&sra. Rlcb
berg and Johnson by telegraph.
Each one still knows what the other
thinks about him. If these thoughts
are ever faithfully reduced to writ
ing perhaps each can sue the other
for libel.
Paul MaJloo
What happened was that Mr. Rlch
berg has been hearing stories that
General Johnson la supposed to have
been telling off the record. These
verbal yarns are not the kind on
which libel suite are usually based.
They merely reflect personal opinion
of one man for another.
Mr. Rlchberg had no direct Infor
mation of what was In Johnson's
book. He did know that Johnson's
opinions were usually expressed in a
blue streak. If made a matter of
official record by publication, they
might be libelous.
He hoped to keep his warning confidential.

(By The Associated Press)
The Christmas holiday death toll
mounted grimly today when an au
tomobile waa struck by a train at a
crossing near Harvey, a Chicago sub
urb, killing seven persons.
The seven automobile occupants
were believed to have been workers
In the Illinois emergency relief sta
tion at Chicago Heights.
The crash brought the Christmas
holiday death list to at least 166 per
sons. 17 We In Train Wreck
A train wreck near Hamilton, Ont.,
resulted In the loss of at least 16
lives while fires, motor car accidents,
drownings, suicides and other trage
dies turned the day from Joy to sor
row for scores of families through
out the United 8tates.
As Is usual on holidays the heavy
traffic on highways caused most of
the fatalities, at least 115 of the
dead perishing In motor mishaps.
The auto death toll by states showed:
Indiana 3: Pennsylvania 6; Mis
souri 13; North Carolina 3; Louisiana
5; New York S: New Jersey 2; Ohio
6; Arkansas 10 (since Sunday); Mich
igan 14 (since Sunday); Texas 6;
Washington State 7; Idaho 3; Utah
3; Oklahoma 4; Georgia 3; Califor
nia 14; Illinois 2; Massachusetts 2;
and one each In Florida, Alabama,
Kansas, Maine, Connecticut and
Oregon.
Fires In Missouri and other sec
tions helped considerably to swell the
death toll. A mother and her three
children perished in flames at Sedal
la. Mo. Another mother and her three
children were burned to death at
Joplln. Mo. Chicago counted two
dead in fires. A 4-year-old girl was

Calling The Roll
In Lindbergh Case
There wore thres copies of his let
ter of warning against publication of
libel. The original went to the mag
azine editor, who. probably, did not
give it out. The aecond went to .he
publisher of Johnson's book. The
third was kept by Mr. Hlchberg under
lock and key.
One of the three copica fell Into
the hands of newspaper men, and
that Is the way the story got out. It
was the best possible kind of pub
licity for the Johnson book.
What General Johnson's friends
really believe Is that Mr. Rlchberg
got Johnson out of the NRA. They
aay that Is the basis for Johnson's
feeling.
In a way they are right. Mr. Rlch
berg found the NRA too confining
for himself and Johnson. Just be
fore President Roosevelt started on
his Hawaiian cruise last summer. He
thought the general's tactics were
detrimental to success of the NRA
A lot of people agreed with him.
It was shortly after Mr. Roosevelt's
return from Hawaii that Johnson
left. Of course, the Impetus of Mr.
Rlchberes Influence played a part In
Johnson's withdrawal.
Whether there la anything else la a
matter for argument, but no one will
care to start It, as no accusations
have been made, and probably none
will be.
The NRA Is showing occasional
a'.gne of being Just as hard-boiled as
ever.
The board has been somewhat care
ful about Imposing codes on recal
citrant big Industries which still have
no codes, but has shown three un
noticed flashes or fire lstely. The
main difference from the old days
appears to be, that the board is being
close-lipped about its crsck-down
blows and loud-mouthed about its
moderate atepa.
"i Thla la a reversal of the Johnsonian
technic, ue.
The picturesque genersl himself
could not hsve been more authorlta
iv. in the cotton garment code case.
When garment makers resisted the
89-hour week, the board adopted a
ruel banishing from the code author
ity any one who did net cooperate.
That effectively banished the code
authority Itself.

of secrecy, to tell New Jersey courts
what she knows of the Lindbergh
kidnaping.
Olad In tweed coat and brown
scarf, she paused on the deck of the
Cunard liner Aqultanla Just long
enough to say, "I can't say any
thing." let news photographers snap
her picture and was whisked away
in black limousine to the Morrow
estate Englewood, N. J.
Miss Oow was the last person to
leave the Aqultanla. Police surround
ed her, and it waa only after diffi
culty that reporters could get close
enough to shout questions into her
ear.
She declined to say whether ahe
would testify for or against Bruno
Hauptmann, Bronx carpenter charged
with murdering the 20 months' old
son of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh.
And so she was swallowed in the
same secrecy that surrounded her
departure from Scotland. She had

Thirdly, a hearing was ordered on

board noted that many factories were
moving to small towns. The board
suspected that code provision per

these steps would have been blown
