No. 2W. B.T PALL MALLON (Copyright, 1035, by Paul Million WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 One busi ness which the new deal has in advertently restored to prosperity Is the legal busi ness. Tou could not drop a writ ot habeas corpus out of any down town building here these days without hitting one or more law yers on the head. The town la swarming with two classes of t'nem, one Inside the new deal, trying to legal PAUL MALLON ize it. and the other outside, trying to (.legalize it. No one. not even the Justice de partment, has charted the boom in the legal Industry, or has any defl nlte idea of the scope of it. J Without saying anything. Attorney General Cummings began to look Into the problem recently when he saw cases-mounting on federal court dockets faster than prohibition cases ever did. The unpublished result of his Inquiry showed that 27.804 civil and criminal cases Involving the va rious new deal agencies, (NRA. AAA, rwA. etc..) were pcnt"S tne end of December. If President Roosevelt Is the new deal quarterback, this court phase of . the legal boom has made Mr. Cummings a roving fullback. He has become the main secondary defense. To keep up with the onslaught, he Is quietly establishing a private new statistical system to keep tab month by month on how the new deal Is faring In the courts. In the past such figures were collected only at annual Intervals. The a'marlng figure for December represents an Increase In the past six months of 2000 criminal cases hut a slight decrease In civil cases, it does not. Include cases under federal bankruptcy laws,, .which si J ways average over 10.000 pending at a time. Thl Is the underlying reason why Mr. Roosevelt said In his NRA mes sage to ongTess that some quicker method of handling eniurcc ment cases should be found. A cease nH desist procedure Is what he h( In mind to replace criminal prosecutions. While the NRA cases represent the largest batch, no phase of the new deal la being omitted, even alcohol tax prosecutions. Tou may doubt It If you will, but S1.000 arrests have been made under this law since re peal and additional cases are piling up at the rate of several hundred weekly. One explanation ts that the deal la new and that this la the testing stsge. The courts furnish the legal testing ground. There have bern many sub rot rumors lately that the White House la growing cold to the holding com panlea bill. There Is nothing In them. The peculiar white House position on the bill la the same as It was on the stock market hill. The president will appear unconcerned about It publicly. but will push It hard pri vately. This technique permits him to avoid complications. Two separate clans of business lob hvlsts are assembling on the Q. T. for separate big pushes on congress, One is the utility group, which Is planning what appears to be a hope' less assault on the holding company bill. The other Is the air mall crowd, which Is exuding righteous Indigna tion over the latest trick played on them by the post office department. It seems they all agreed with Mr. Roosevelt to put air mall contracts under a revitalized interstate com merce commission which would make them non-polltlcal. Imagine their chagrin when the bill to do It waa proposed in congress a few days ago. carrying a provision authorizing the postmaster general to consolidate lines at any time and designate primary routes. By this consolidating and redesignating de vice, the unfoollsh Mr. Farley may take away lines from those who have and give them to those who have not.

(AP) Bruno Hauptmann's defense fund was richer today by more than 2000. the con tribution of thousands of wildly en thusiastic Germans who stormed a rally In his behalf. Their donation will be added to the 15.000 previously raised to ap peal the carpenter's conviction on a charge of killing the Lindbergh baby, who was stolen from his crib three years ago tomorrow. The little country court room where Hauptmann stood trial was no more Jammed to the point of auffocatlon than was the Yorkvllle Casino last night. Police estimated the crowd as high a 5000. with 3000 more milling outside. " v Wife Crowd Center Officers had to protect Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, wife of the condemned man, from women who pressed around her as she made her way to the plat form. Reinforcements had their hands full clearing a path so that she and Edward J. Reilly. defense attorney, could leave after the rally. My husband as well aa I have sym pathy for those who suffer,". Mrs. Hauptmann said. "We are aorry a crime like this has been committed because we- ourselves have a child which we love. "We beg God that the kidnaper of the Lindbergh baby will be found." Injustice Claimed "A great Injustice has been done." said Rellly. "The man who Is guilty should be hung, drawn and quartered. But that man Is not Bruno Richard Haupt mann.

STORAGE PLANT TO. L Medford Ice & Storage Will Have Facilities for 100, 000 Additional Boxes of Valley Fruit This Year At an approximate cost of $35,000, the Medford Ice and Cold Storage company has started work on the re modeling of the huge Ice storage room at their plant on South Fir street, to convert lt Into a four-story pre-cooling unit. The room, capable of holding 10.000 tons of tee. Is the largest of Its kind In the northwest, but due to the fact that refrigerator cars now carry more fruit with the same amount of Ice as In the pasta the call for Ice Is diminishing, while at the same time, more and more fruit shippers are calling for pre cooling. A few years ago, according to M. M. Morris, manager of the company, most of the local fruit was stored In the east. The method then used here waa to put the fruit Into a room where the temperature was held at 30 degrees, and after 18 days, the fruit temperature was down to the same level. With modern pre-cooling equip ment, the fruit Is now put Into s room where an Icy blast from huge fans dropa the temperature to the required 30 degrees In only 72 hours. Tho Medford company now has stor age space for approximately 600 cars of fruit, or will have when the new 100,000 box unit Is completed. This will be In about 00 days, Morris said. Thirty men will be busy on the pro ject until Its completion. One third of all the local fruit, Morris stated. Is now stored In local plants. This keeps that fruit In bet ter condition, and consequently brings a better price for the product on the eastern markets. Over half of the expense of pre-cooling Is for la bor In handling the fruit, he said, and this adds tremendously to the local payroll. With facilities for stor ing 1100 cars of fruit In this vicinity,' Instead of diverting the money to other sections, Medford people are directly benefited, he pointed out. In the company's storage rooms now are about 175 carloads of fruit. 80 carloads of which are apples. SLATED MARCH 25 PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 2J.
