Political mechanicians who gauge public opin ion for the alert new deal have not been very well mtlsfied with the Vay the last few moves have gone over. You will never hear It from Uem directly, but It la true that the reaction to the proposal for limiting war profits was Just eo-so. It was a one - day sensa- tion which fail- ad to keep public Interest sustained. The thrust toward building pub lic power plant In New York was fiXd, but not exactly electrifying. The handling of the White Sulphur Springs business conference program was badly botched by everyone who touched It. That really U ths re&bon why the stock- market has been shrinking. Marketeers are frankly wondering If the new dealers have fccen soft-soaping them again with all the autumn talk about helping bUSi B'MS. For these reasons, the mechanicians re laying great hopes on the Presi dent's forthcoming message to con-gi-ess. They say President Roosevelt will pack a lot of meat in It. Some of It may be sharp to the business taste (budget, expenditures, social legislation), but generally It will be nutritious, and It will be fed In such a. wsy as to make It nutritious which Is Important. Shipbuilder's Story Would . Blast Claims of Accused State Ready for Trial With Startling Evidence NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 28. (AP) John Hughes Ourtls, of Norfolk, has notified the New Jersey police he Is prepared to testify Bruno Haupt- mann showed him some of the Lind bergh ransom money on one of his meetings with Kauptmann and others between the time the money had been paid by John P. (Jafsie) Con don and the finding of the Lind bergh baby's body, counsel for Curtis announced today. , Curtis Is prepared to swear he had direct personal contact with Haupt mann. his counsel said. Curtis. Norfolk. Va., shipbuilder, was convicted at Flemlngton of ob structing Justice in the Lindbergh investigation two years ago. TRENTON, N. J.. Dec. 28. ( AP) Mm. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, It was learned from an authoritative source today will be called as a witness for the prosecution In the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann which starts at Flemlngton next week. Hauptmann la eharged with the murder of Mrs. Lindbergh's Infant son. The authority from which it was learned Mrs. Lindbergh will testify said she will be "an Important state witness." The most daring rescue of the holi day season was effected when Chair man Eccles of Federal Reserve was taved from engaging In a controversy .with Senator Glass. Mr. Eccles was writing a reply"to Senator Glass on Christmas eve, News men were waiting eagerly. ' Word came that Mr. Eccles had It half written. Expectancy Increased. The body of Mr. Eccles could be seen visions 11 y drifting closer and closer to the Virginia buzsaw. Then came foe announcement that Mr. Eccles would make no formal reply. What happened was that certain influential insiders called Mr. Eccles on the. telephone In the ntck of time. They told him that people who haw lived in Washington longer than Mr. B.ccles unanimously agree that the easiest way to spoil a budding reserve board career Is to get In an argument with cactus -tone ued Carter. By JAMES Y. LAWRENCE (Associated Press Staff Writer) FLEMINGTON. N. Z?C. 28. TAP) The f.tate will' declare at Bruno Richard Huptmann'a trial, a prosecuting oficial disclosed today, that the Lindbergh kid nap -slaying suspect has had In his possession In the last two years 149,600 more than all his avowed sources of Income provided. The monev will be Identified by the state, this official said, as the bulk of the (50.000 ransom whldi Dr. Jrhn P. Condon, Lindbergh in termediary, paid In a Bronx ceme tery April 2, 1932. Efforts to trace the ransom notes were redoubled after Hauptmann's Glass usually knows whom he Is spanking before he puts out his pad dle, but thla time he hit the wrong fellow. The root of the trouble was that the Federal Reserve board handled Its press release inefflcter iy when It an nounced a cut from 3 to per cent In. bank Interest rates on deposits. It, linked Its legitimate action with a doubtful one" by the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation. The FRB had mple authority to order the cut by its own members, but the FDIC prob ably overstepped Itself when It ari-d to extend the order to banks outside the deposit insurance corporation. The question Is purely . technical. The FDIC obtained an opinion from legal counsel that Its order was legal, although laymen may not understand bow it could be. Glass knew all that. He merely tised the unimportant opportunity for an Indirect shot at the way the ad ministration has centralized banking tinder the FRB and FDIC. He will be shooting at that off and on from now on. 1 Mr. Roosevelt had an experience at Warm Springs some years ago which tnsy furnish an explanation why he la so eager to reduce interest rates. At least the memory of the experi ence Is vivid In his mind. He re lated it recently to a frWnd. A negro farmer near the President's Oeorgla farm approached him and ked for a loan of 200. The negro aid he needed the money to buy a mule team, seeds and farm imple ments. He contended that the bank levied such charges on him that the Interest would amount to 12 per cent. After investigating. Mr. Roosevelt advanced the loan at 4 per cent. It was all repaid. Oovernor Eccles take his Job so seriously that he has made a habit of studying each night for two hours on credit, finance, banking, taxation, no matter what time he get home.

(AP) Thirty seven editors of college dailies heard from the, president today how Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a, one-time Harvard editor, scored ft nine-minute "beat" against his opposition Yale paper.

'With the surprisingly large ex pansion of the December volume, the compilation of the final returns for 1934 doubtless will reveal an Increase In sales of 15 to 20 per cent over the 1933 figures. "While the possible trend of the industrial operations In 1935 may bo variously InterpreteC: there Is no un certainty regarding the boldness with which recovery has proceeded since the mid-summer lows. "For. ten consecutive weeks the Dun & Bradstreet business activity barometer has climbed upward steadily, and for the current period scored the sharpest upturn In many years. From 09.8 for the week preced ing It Jumped to 74.5. or a gain of 7 per cent, which carried it beyond the mid-summer peak to the highest lev el In three and a half years." LONDON, Dec. 28.

Attorney Donough In Portland, Informing the latter that Sollnsky had Just learned that an indictment had been Issued and giv ing Soltnsky's address. Newbury de clared today that the Sollnsky family has lived at the same address in Berkeley for 15 years, and he Is at a loss to explain the statement that the federal officials had been un able to locate the former park superintendent.

Incoming packages last year num bered 3.929 less than thla year, but showed a gradual uptrend In Christ mas business since 1932. the year fol lowing the mailing peak.

An exceptional feature of the Christmas business this year, post master DeSouza said, was the early mailing, which enabled the postof flco to distribute lncomtng mall and dispatch, outglng mall more rapidly. The public has. become educated as to the importance of early mailing and careful addressing, DeSoupa said. Despite this factor, there will be a great many Christmas cards which will not reach the addressee due to improper addresses. Another Interesting feature Is the fact that there were many more In sured packages mailed this year, due. DeSoura said, to the stress that the pos toff ice has placed on the value of Insurance.
