AIDES The Weather Forecast: I'nKltlrd with rain to nlfht and Wrdnnday; wmrmer to nljht. Highest VetrdT lawest thli momlnit - " M M 1 J By PAUL MALL ON (Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. There Is no optimist anywhere like a public ity man. especially a government pub licity man. His mimeograph grinds out num bers aa big and round as chrys inth comma to measure the ac complishment of his aide. But they do not 4l ways smell as good as they look. A current ex ample la an an no u ncement ny PAUL M A LI, ON the federal housing administration. 1 estimating lta home modernization Jr)ve accomplishments at $205,000, 000. That figure gets the headlines and people generally accept the fact that the PHA drive caused 2 05. 000. 000 to be spent for home repairs and additions. IT you smell around a little you will rind that the direct FHA ac complishment was less than one slxtli of that. Only MO.OOO.OOO was advanced by banks to home owners under FHA insurance. A second $30,000,000 of the total amount was probably ad vanced earlier by the Home Owners Iioan corporation, another new deal Institution. Nobody knows for sure about that, because the FHA merely asked Its state, directors to send in estimates of the total modernization in their areas. As the HOLC contributed 130. 000.000 for modernization purposes, according to Its own figures, there can be little question that the FHA estimate includes the results of HOLC loans. But that Is only a aldeltne .argument. y - - The main point Is that $176,000, 000 of the $205,000,000 FHA work was not done by FHA. And at least $145. 000,000 was not done by the govern ment. It was merely privately fi nanced work done during the gov ernment drive. Much of it. of course, is work that would have been done whether there was a government drive or not. Yet in the last analysis, you can not blame the publicity man for claiming all loose credit. It has been a custom among government officials and others outside the government, long before the press agent was In vented. The new deal lawyers who have been burning midnight electricity during the past two weeks are ready now for any decision from the su preme court. They would be willing to help the court to make the de cision If the court needed any help. One of the: most Interesting thinj.s they have dug up in a convincing historical excuse for new deal de valuation. !n the fourteenth, fifteenth, six teenth, and right up to the nine teenth century, it was the legal cus tom for kings to cell In outstanding gold coins whenever the treasury ran low, and clip them. Tnat Is, they would actually cut out of the gold a fractional part, as much as one-fifth Jn many cases. The coins were then returned to the people minus a firth of their value. The king took the clipping. There has been a long dispute among economists as to where Mr. Morgenthau's $3,000,000,000 of book profit from gold came from. A majority assumes It comes from bondholders and property holders. That Is rather a nebulous explana tion, almost as nebulous as the Idea that Mr. Morgenthau Just squeezed the profit out of thin air for book keeping purposes. A more practical Interpretation Is that everyone paid for It. Every time dollar was spent after devaluation, you contributed to the gold prottt by the extent to which our dollar bought less goods than before devalu ation. The extent to which devalu ation Increased prices Is the exact amount you have contributed so far. If the J3.000.000.000 is taken to pay the bonus, or spent for any other purpose.' you will have contributed sevne more, to the extent to which the inflationary expenditure causes prices to rise further.

N. J.. Jan. 33. (AP The "kidnap ladder." which the state charges was- used by Bruno Richard Hauptmann to take the Lindbergh baby from Its nursery, was finally admitted as evidence today In tne trial of the German ex-convict for murder. "I feel constrained to admit this ladder In evidence." Justice Thomas W. Trenchard said. "It will be ad mitted." It was a major- victory for the state, which has sought to link Hauptmann with the ladder through wood used In making it and tools which they claim came from his tool chest. For the three weeks of the trial the defense has fought bitterly to keep the ladder out of evidence. . In Its final argument today Fred erick A. Pope carried the burden of argument. (Copyright, 1935. by the Associated Press) FI.EMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 22. (AP) Two more residents of the Souriand country surrounding the home of Colonel Charlea A. Lind bergh today Identified Bruno Haupt mann as a man lurking in that vi cinity before the kidnaping, and murder of the aviator's infant son. Millard Whlted, a logger with a farm next to the Lindbergh estate, testified In Hauptmann's trial that he saw him on two occasions within a fortnight of the crime, and Charles Rosslter of Maplewood, N. J test ified ha saw htm on a road near the Princeton airport, about 14 miles from Hopewell, four days before the baby was stolen from lta crib. Rosslter said he saw Sauptmann on the Hopewell road standing at the rear of Ills auto. Offered Help "I got out of my car," he said, "and walked to the rear of his car. I offered help, but he said he didn't need any help." Then, for from five to eight min utes, Rosslter testified, "I stood there looking him over." Rosslter remembered the Incident was on the Saturday before the kid naping. WhJted testified he saw Hauptmann on February 18, 1032. and between February 25 and 27, 1932. The baby waa kidnaped on March 1, 1932, Tuesday. One other Souriand resident. Amandus Hochmuth, 87, identified Hauptmann in the second week of the trial as a man he saw In an auto with a ladder turning into the road leading to the Lindbergh home on the forenoon of the day of the crime. The defense brought out the fact that a plaster cast had been made of a footprint which It claim ed would show Hauptmann was not the man who collected the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom In St Raymond's cemetery, the Bronx, on April 2, 1932. Edward J. Rellly, chief of the de fense staff, said he hoped to get the plaster cast Into court for com parison with Hauptmann's foot, and hoped as well to play a phonograph record which a witness said Dr. John F. (Jsfate) Condon made of his con versation with the man to whom he paid the ransom. A department of Justice agent, Thomas H. Slsk, said both were in Washington. Whlted testified, he knew every per son of the vicinity around his farm, which was separated from the Lind bergh estate by a ten-foot strip. "Did you see any strangers," the attorney general asked him. "Yes." "Did you see Bruno Richard Haupt mann?" "I did." Study F.crles Nomination WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. (AP) The nomination of Marriner S.

Jan. 22. (AP) Sinkaing. a huge northwestern territory nom inally belonging to China, waa Indi cated by statements In high official quarters today as the future scene of a contest between the expansion ist ambitions of two great Asiatic powers, Japan and Soviet Russia. A spokesman for the Japanese gov ernment said the Soviet's alleged economic and political penetration ot Slnklang "menaces the peace and stability of eastern Asia, which It Is Japan'a mission to maintain." This development was mentioned by Korl Hirota, foreign minister. In a formal address to the diet. To View With Concern Describing the recent retirement of Chinese communist armies from Klangsl province into Szechuan and Kwelchow provinces, Hirota states "In view of this fart, coupled with the reported Sovletlzatlon of Sln klang, the Japanese government will be obliged to watch with concern activities of the communist party and lta armlea In China." With Manchoukuo'a potentialities as a breeding ground for a possible Russo-Jspanese conflict considerably lessened as a result of the virtual completion of negotiations for the sale of the Chinese Eastern railway from Russia to Japan, Japanese Im perialists are finding new evidences of a "Red menace" against this coun try's Interest In Slnklang. The area of 550,000 square miles 1b rapidly falling under the domina tion of- the Soviet tike outer Mon golia, the foreign office spokesman said In amplifying Hlrota'a state ment. See Moscow Control "Our Information, which emanates from high Chinese officials, shows that the present leaders of Slnklang are under the control of Moscow,' he continued. "Further, we are informed that the retirement of Chinese communists Into Szechuan la purely a strategic retreat on orders carried to commun '.jt leaders In Klangsl by an Indian agent of the Moscow third Internat ionale named Rominats." "Chinese communists are hoping to find In Szechuan richer pastures and plentiful rice and salt, which they lark in Klangsl, and also close con nections with Soviets dominating Slnklang and outer Mongolia, across Kokorno and Momansland, where Chiang Kai Shek (generalissimo of the Nationalist government) has been unable to out communications.
