WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. How to
handle a bonus march Is one of the I
most Important hidden Questions of!
government. It has been since Mr.
Hoover tried to
ewe the boys out
.of Washington
three years ago
with a torch and
lot slightly
scorched himself.
Through Mr.
Hoover's experi
ence. Mr. Roose
velt found it was
no good that
way. but he only
toyed with the
problem when
he s e g r e gated
Paul Alilloo
the bonusites at forts outside town
last year whore they could be watch
ed. A more definite answer to It has
been found in what has been going
on under cover here during the last
few months,
The truth is there has been an un
organized bonus march on Washing
ton for several months. An official
authority estimates that veterans
have been drifting in here at a rate
of 150 to 300 a month for the past
year. Recently the influx began to
expand. The apparent reason was
that an unimportant left wing vet
erans group Issued a call for a
march Jan. 24.
The government has said nothing
about the matter and will say noth
ing, but the problem of handling
these people has worried everyone.
The transient relief agencies were
overflowing and the CCC rolls were
filled.
Finally the Hopkins outfit (FERA)
hit on a solution by setting up new
work camps on the Florida keys,
about fifty miles south of Key West,
and at two points in South Carolina.
King Tree and North Charleston. It
may be denied, but there are good
reasons for believing 1.051 veterans
have been shipped from here to these
three camps in five recent consign
ments. The next trainload of about
350 Is supposed to leave in January.
Most of the Incoming ex-service
men Jumped at the chance to go.
They have agreed to stay at these
camps for three months, are given
$30 a month, and board and lodging,
which is something of a bonus of
Itself.
The reason the government has
been so quiet about it is that It does
not want all the veterans In the
country tumbling down on Washing
ton. There Is not much money left
to continue Mr. Hopkins scooter
slide system of disposing of the bonus
army as it arrives.
But neither is there much reason
to carry on the ingenious program
any longer. Most of those who might
come here Jnnuary 24 ana ingmcn
congress have already come and
gone. Today they am out in the At
lantic ocean, building a causeway.
sprucing up the forests around King
Tree, or working in the navy yard at
Charleston, far, far away. They can
not come back until tne bonus issue
Is voted on and disposed of.
And yet some people say these new
dealers are dumb.
All the regular veterans' outfits
here are against the proposed march.
Including the American Legion and
the VFW. They realize a march would
lust about ruin the bonus cause. H
would give the opposition Jurt the
movement.
The left wingers arc led by one
Harold Hlckerson. who calls his out
fit the rank and lile committee.
Their opponents say they are radi
cals and the title of the committee
Is certainly auburn if nothing else.
Government, investigators say they
have learned that the response to
the marching calls Ins been disap
pointing. Possibly Mr. Hlckerson mis
addressed his Invitations. He should
have sent them down south.

PLEMINGTON. N. J.. Jan. 11. A
handwriting expert today declared j
that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was
the writer of the ransom note left
on the window sill near the empty
crib of the stolen and murdered
baby. Charles A. Lindbergh. Jr., and
of 13 other subsequent notes.
The testimony followed two other ;
blows struck by the state in its ;
drive to place the stolid German j
carpenter in New Jersey's electric
chnlr.
The other blows: A government.
Agent's testimony that the first gold
ransom note Irom the $50,000 paid
by Colonel Lindbergh came to light
In a bank near Hauptmann's place
of employment: the same agent's
word that he had no knowledge of
any ransom notes appearing in circu
lation after Hauptmann's arrest.
Meanwhile, two other developments
occurred away from the court.
A Bronx garage owner discovered
an old work sheet and announced
he remembered that Hauptmann
brought a dirty green sedan Into his
place twice, the first time to have
the fenders painted black, the sec
ond time to have the ear repaired,
the first appearance being on April
3. 1932. the day after John F. (Jafsle)
Condon says he paid Hauptmann
Lindbergh's ransom money.
Detective Arthur Johnson of the
New York police, it was learned,
sailed Tuesday from Le Havre aboard
the 8. 8. lie de France with three
unidentified companions who were
believed to be Commissioner Spaude
of the Llepslc police. Hanna Flsch.
sister of the dead Isador Flsch, and
former army corporal who trained
Hauptmann In the German army.
The handwriting expert, Albert 8.
Osborn. Sr.. testified:
"My opinion is that the ransom
notes were all written by the writer
of the various papers signed, 'Rich

Old Age Pensions, Unem

Public Health Aid On Pro
gram No Direct Grants
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. (AP) A
broad social security legislative pro-(
gram was outlined to congressional i
leaders today by President Roosevelt.!
providing for unemployment lnsur-!
ance. old age pensions and public
health aid.
Secretary Perkins, chairman of the
president's special committee on the
security program, explained direct
federal grants were Involved only In
providing funds to states which have
laws for care of the aged and Indi
gent. The plan also would set up a fed-
erally-sponsored old age pension sys
ltMn to controlled and supported
Dy 6iaie8
Likewise, the unemployment lnsur-
"-.ance program is to be administered
by states- under federal supervision.
No direct federal aid Is Involved
The secretary of labor said there
also was a "small covering up aid to
public health for states which pro
vide medical care."
The fourth point provides aid to
dependent children, Including the
crippled and those otherwise handi
capped.
The White House conference In
cluded Senator Wagner (D.. N. Y.)
and Representative Lewis (D., Md.).
the authors of unemployment Insur
ance legislation before the last ses
sion Speaker Byrns, Senator Van Nuys
(i.. ind) and Edward McGrady, as
sistant secretary of labor.
Miss Perkins explained that "the
federal government does not make
grants to Individuals under this pro
gram.' The direct aid to states for the
aged and indigent, she said. Is to take
care of this group until the old age
pension funds can be established.
President Roosevelt said today he
probably would submit the social se
curity program to congress In a spe
cial message next week an Senator
Wagner added he would Introduce the
legislation.

Had No Motive in Burn

Testimony Suspicious.
The case of State vs. High, In
which the defendants are charged
with unlawfully burning a barn with
Intention to Injure the Insurer, con
vened at 9:15 this morning at the
county courtrooms with opening re
marks stating the summary of the
defense case by Attorney William Mc
Allister. Last night the opening summary
of the case for the state was present
ed by Assistant District Attorney
George Ncilson.
In the first rebuttal by McAllis
ter this morning, he claimed that
the defendants had no possible mo
tive for the crime, stating that Geo.
High had no title to the barn, and
no enforceable Insurance policy cov
ering the property, and consequent
ly could have no motive tor burning
the barn with the Intent to collect
Insurance.
He further alleged that the value
of the barn was $25,000, and that
the insurance policies which were not
collectable, were made out to a man
named Miller, and not to High.

Attorney Roberts, also of the de
fense, followed these remarks with
an eloquent appeal to the Jury to

witness of the state (Joe Holland)
