of the president's political master
minds would rather have a running
imate from a state which is not
democratic, but it is evident now
that they will not have their way.
Mr. Garner has now changed his
mind and wants to run.
Congressman Dies has no evidence
of censorship on which to base his
move for a congressional inquiry. He
la just fishing, or whitewashing . . .
Great Britain and the United States
are the only Important nations In the
world having a free press. The rest
are under government thumb or hel
. . . Ben Cohen, master legal mind
behind most of the New Deal finan
cial reform legislation, does not care
very much about taking Mr. Pecora'a
vacant job on the Securities and Ex
change commission. The White Houe
considers the appointment settled,
but Mr. Cohen does not. He can
make more money practicing law in
New York, but will eventually be pa
triotic and take the government Job.
Congressmen are childishly Jealous
about getting their names on New
Deal legislation. The bills are actu
ally ghost-written by experts who
never get any credit. 1 Most congress
. men, would not know how to.Jryrlta a,
' bill without the aid of the congres
sional drafting service, yet they will
fight to get their names on bills con
ceived and written by others ... It
is going to be hard next year for the
cabies. The budget proposes $5,000,-
000 for their eradication on sheep and
goats. Postmaster General Farley will
get more Jcbs out of that appropria
tion than he does out of his post
office department. It docs not re
quire the same mental acumen to
chase scabies aa to be a fourth class
postmaster.
The weather probably Is going to
be very bad next year. The govern
ment Is spending an additional
400.000 to find out about It. The
weather forecasting appropriation has
been boosted to 93,414.204 . . . State
Secretary Hull has a new talking Una
on foreign trade. He tells all callers
about the big negotiations with Can
ada and Italy. His reason la that
expected agreements with Brazil and
Colombia have not come through. A
financial disturbance in Brazil
holding up the one and South Amer
ican politics is holding up the other.
It is always better to hold out new
hopes than to try to explain delayed
ones . . . When Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau birred that foreign
movie on Mrs. Morgenthau 'a recom
mendation, without seeing It himself,
a few Impertinent people arose to ask
If it would not have been advisable
to let all wives see It to learn whether
It was decent enough for husbands . . .
It costs the government $35,000 a year
to care for the lepera in Ouam.
Postmaster General Parley was sup
posed to have cancelled those air mail
contracts last spring In order to save
money, but he does not appear to
v lave saved anything. The alr-mall
deficit, as cited In the budget, was
$9,531,000 for 1934, $ 1 1.323.000 for
1935 and $11,752,000 for 1936 (fiscal
years) . . . The supreme court Is
still perturbed on the inside about
the manner in which the Justice de

Deal Hard Blow
To Defense Hope
(Copyright. 1933. by the Associated Press)
FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 24. (AP) Bruno Richard Hauptmann, his
own witness today In his murder trial, declared he never left his home
on the night he la accused of collecting the $50,00 Lindbergh ransom
money.
Two other defense witnesses, who f -
were allowed to interrupt his testi
mony, failed to support his chief
alibi, by which the defense had hoped
to establish that he was In a Bronx
bakery the night Baby Charles A.
Lindbergh, Jr., was stolen from his
crib at Hopewell, N. J.
The last two questions of the court
put to Hauptmann by his own chief
counsel, Edward J. Rellly, follow:
"Never Left Home"
"Now, on April 2, 1932, after you
came home from work In the neigh
borhood of 6 o'clock, did you leave
your home that night?"
"No, sir," he said.
You were In the house all the
time?"
Dr. John F. fjafsle. Condon, Lind
bergh intermediary, testified In the
states' case that he paid the ransom
to Hauptmann in a Bronx graveyard
on the night of April 2, 1932.
Court adjourned at 4 :31 p. m.
Hauptmann's direct examination will
be resumed tomorrow.
The two witnesses who failed to
support his alibi for March 1, 1932.
were Mr. and Mrs. Christian Fred
erickson. Frederlckson Is the owner
of a bakery where Mrs. Hauptmann
was employed.
Couldn't Swear
Frederlckson said he knew only that
Hauptmann usually called for his
wife when she finished work at the
bakery, but said he could not swear,
nor remember, that he saw him on
the night of March 1, 1932.
Mrs. Frederlckson said she was off
on that night and not in the bakery.
Hauptmann went back on the stand
after this Interlude.
Just before the defendant took the
stand, for the first time, the defense
startled the listeners at the trial by
a sensational announcement it would
produce the man "who was last in
actual contact with the kidnaper."
and show that the kidnaper was not

FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 24. (AP)
The state rested its murder case
against Richard Bruno Hauptmann
shortly after noon today. -
It was indicated that Hauptmann
might take the atand in his own be
half in mtdafternoon. though a pos
sibility existed the defense would ask
for adjournment until tomorrow after
making Its opening statement.
The state was content to end its
evidence with the testimony of Ar
thur Koehler, government wood ex
pert, who testified that one rail of
the Lindbergh kidnap ladder came
from Hauptmann's attic and changed
his story In no way on cross exami
nation. Plane Was flnmo's
Also standing without alteration
by cross examination was the wood
expert's testimony that Hauptmann's
own plane was used In the fashioning
of the ladder and that other lumber
in the ladder came from a Bronx lum
ber yard where Hauptmann had pur
chased wood.
As Koehler left the stand Attorney
General David T. Wilentz conferred
briefly with his assistant prosecut
ors. "The state rests, your honor," he
announced.
Edward J. Rellly. chief of the de-1
fense staff, immediately pleaded to1
be allowed to cross examine one of!
the state's witnesses further. j
"The state has rested." wilentz pro-;
claimed; "you may call whom you
please."
To Recall Model
Rellly wanted to question Thomas
H. Slsk, a department of Justice
agent who testified for the state,

stand today to deny that he had any
connection with the Lindbergh baby
kidnaping for which he is being tried

STUDENT Wm
AT GRANTS PASS
A former Medford junior hlgl.
school boy. Horace Foster, and recent
ly a student In the Grants Pass high
school, committed suicide by hanging
himself from a rafter in a barn at his
home on Leonard road near the
northern city early Wednesday morn
ing. A coroner's Jury determined that
the cause of the act was despondency.
Though the boy evidently Jumped
from a beam on the end of the barn,
his neck was not broken, and death
came as a result of strangulation. The
body was found by R. H. Hart, owner
of the property where the Foster
family have been living for the past
three months.
It Is believed that the boy became
despondent after a scolding his step
mother had given him. in which she
had boxed his ears for calling her a
profane name, on the night before
the tragedy. Hart, on Wednesday
morning, started to search for the
boy, believing him to be sulking In
the hay mow. A search there failed
to disclose the whereabouts of the
boy, and Hart then looked In the

CANNOT ITEMIZE
RELIEF -PROGRAM
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. (AP) A
congress embroiled over the issue of
appropriating huge lump sums of
cash for presidential allocntlon was
told today by Mr. Roosevelt It was
"clearly Impossible at the moment"
to Itemize the $4,000,000,000 work re
lief program.
This newest White House opposi
tion to a determined effort In both
parties to say in detail huw the fund
should be spent was given In a spe
cial message transmitting to the cap
itol the report of the national re
sources board and the Mississippi
Valley committee of the public works
administration.
Of both reports, made public pre
viously, the president said:
"These documents constitute a re
markable foundation for what we
hope will be a policy of orderly de
velopment In every part of the Unit
ed States."
Then referring more directly to the
move for legislative allocation of the
mammoth public-project fund, the
president said:
"As I have already stated. It Is only
because of the current emergency of
unemployment and because of the
physical Impossibility of surveying
weighing and testing each and every(
project that a segregation of Items'
is clearly impossible at this time."

This information came direct from
the executive office. The executive,
through his secretary, stated he was
not concerned with the proposal. He
stated he had Informed advocates of
the plan to fight the matter out with
the legislature themselves, but with
out his support.
The bill Is almost identical with
that proposed by Governor Martin's
unofficial planning board several
weeks ago and returned to the board
for further study, revision and dras
tic eliminations to confine Its func

the recommendations of the interim
