Jg ------U- MEDFOED MAIL T By PAIL M.VLLOS Copyright, IMS, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, April 21. For the first time In the history of the new deal. It was outwitted the otjjer day on publicity. And the funny part about It waa that the Job waa done by the staid old Brooklnga Insti tute, an influen tial endowed re search body which ahuns publicity. There waa a fine to-do on the Inside when the Brookings report, criticizing the NRA severely, came out the PAUL MALLON same day that General Johnson woa hogging the news headline with a defense of the NRA. The truth seems to be that Brook ing waa the Innocent tool of some NHA foe. Credit for publication of Its report Is being given, Justly or un justly, to mild-mannered Senator King of Utah, who hatea the NRA even In his sleep. Senator King Is supposed to have heard that the re port was not to be released until later and asked for copies of It. Brookings obliged by sending him twenty-one rough page proofs. He knew what to do with them. He made them a part of the senate finance committee record. Thus they became available for newspaper publication. NRA coal tender Richberg waa completely off guard, and did not en Joy the Joke. Next day he is said to have summoned a responsible Brook ings official and, In his own quiet way. pointed out that such an eie tnosynary institution should not hiss the administration's act,, at least not right at the dramatic climax. Mr. Rtchberg also dropped a few choice words In the hearing of L. C. Marshall, an NRA board member, be cause Mr. Marshall is connected with Brookings and signed the Brookings report. This may hasten Marshall's departure from NIRB. The hard-hitting report rewired far more attention In the Washing ton upper strata than it did In the newspapers. It revived In senatorial minds the talk of scrapping the whole NRA Ides. Several business leaders were sit ting around talking over the out look frankly a few days ago. The way they figured it out. the essentials of the situation are these: The date to look forward to is the one when congress will adjourn (probably mid-summer), The Wash ington end of the business picture will then change automatically. Un certainties which now are supposed to be disturbing certain business men (NRA reorganization, bonus, bank bill, devaluation, holding company bill, etc.) will then have been dis pelled one way or another. The following ninety days, there fore, probably will tell the tale about fhe level-to be expected for this year 'a business. If anything outstanding ia to be accomplished, that is the time for It. Next year is an election year and buslnes is always more or less Jit tery at such times. It would not be surprising if the new deal put on a mid-summer busi ness drive with good chances of suc cess. A new high for frankness has been established by a certain large utility corporation. It wa required under the new deal law to file with the securities and exchange commission the prospectus of a proposed 70 ,000 .000 bond Issue. This prospectus not only listed the ordinary hazards of investment these days, but mentioned the new deal itself as one. Specifically. It pointed to the pw - posed utility holding company bill and the prospect of Inflation. . . I TT-. ,.... 14..

(AP) The pos sibility of a special session of the state legislature in the near future was admitted today by Governor Charles H. Martin who declared It "seemed Impossible to avoid It al though none would be called unless absolutely necessary." Several reasons were advanced by the executive for calling the 1935 assembly back for a maximum 20 day meeting, chief among them being the need for revision of the state laws to conform to the social secur ity law now before congress. In this act, payment of old age pensions would be required after the a lie of 65 years. Oregon's laws pro vides a 70-year age minimum before eligible to receive the state pension, the maximum of which Is 930, but the average was about $10 a month. The proposed movement of drouth victims to the Willamette valley may also require special legislation, the governor continued, as it may be necessary to set up an engineering force to meet requirements of the federal act, If and when. .following his appointment today of Hugh Earle. Eugene Democrat, to succeed A. H. Averlll as state Insur ance' commissioner, the governor was asked If he contemplated any other appointments. "Yes. I am contemplating other appointments, but I don't want to name these Democratic members of the legislature who are seeking posi tions. If I do it may give the con trol of the house to the Republi cans. "You mean by that that you an ticlpate a special session; otherwise before the next regular session all house members would have to face another election," he was asked. "It looks very much like we may have to call a special session, and In that cane I want to keep these members in the legislature." hej promptly responded. In discussing other appointments the governor stated he -may make a change In the Industrial accident commission before long. He did not mention any possibilities nor say whom he would remove, but it was expected T. Morris Dunne would be the one eliminated. An appointment to the state high way commission to succeed Carl Washburne of Eugene, who was urg ed to remain on the group for a short' time, will be made within sev eral weeks, Martin said. It was ex pected Dan Kellaher, state parole of ficer, would also be replaced shortly. In his press conference the gov ernor declared he would retain Judge Charles H. Carey as state Insurance commissioner, at least for some time, since he was in the midst of a hard Job "cleaning up the building and loan mess."

LINDY'S PRESENCE IN COURT JURY SAYS Hauptmann's Counsel Also Attack Press and Claim Court Instructions Ap proved by Prosecution Cite 143 Legal Errors TRENTON, N. J., Apll 20. (AP Bruno Richard Hauptmann's coun sel charged today that Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's daily presence at the Flemlngton trial "unduly In fluenced" the Jury, which saw in him "a bereaved father for whose sorrow the world demanded a sacri fice.' The allegation was one of 13 "manifest errors" defense counsel filed with the clerk of the court of errors and appeals, the state's high est tribunal, which on June 20 will hear Hauptmann's appeal from con viction or the Lindbergh baby kld-nap-murder. Pspers were served also on Hunterdon county Prosecutor An thony M. Hauck, Jr. Egbert Foeecrans, a member of the defense staff, announced he would carry the appeal, If necessary, to the United estates supreme court. He cited the alleged violation of Haupt mann's rights, guaranteed by the sixth and I4th amendments, as grounds for such action. The "assignments of errors" al leged that Hauptmann's rights undsr the sixth amendment were contra vened because he was tried In Hun terdon county and not Mercer, 'the district wherein the crime was com mitted." Lindbergh's presence at the trial, causing the Jury to 7lw him as "the resi prosecutor," was cited as a violation of the "due process of law" guarantee of the 14th amend ment. In the same category were listed "Diased and exaggerated newspaper : reports and stories ... before the i trial and which unduly inflamed the j members of the Jury panel against ! this defendant" and "the hysterical j mob spirit with which the Jury was I surrounded during the entire con-1 duct of theHrlal." "And because," the arguments con tinued, "the picture of a circus maximua which was dally presented to the Jury during all of the con duct of the trial and which deprived It of Its calm Judgment and reason and made a mockery of Justice." The three defense attornes, Rose crans, Frederick A. Pope and C. Lioyd Fisher, who signed the list or "errors," also charged the "Inflam matory summation" of the state's counsel "unduly Influenced" the Jury and the state's "varying theories" as to Hauptmann's guilt were "unsup ported by the evidence." 'The court In its charge to the Jury by Its queries and comments on evidence." counsel said, "portrayed emphatic approval of the state's theories and witnesses and thereby impaired a free and unbiased verdict. "The court in Its charge to the Jury waa argumentlve to a degree which made comments on evidence characteristically an act of advo cacy."

DENVER, Colo., April 30. (AP) The "send-a-dtme and redistribute wealth" fans told Postmaster J. O. Stevlc to keep his none to his own There was nothing else the post master could do. Business at his ISth street stsnd was so good every mall clerk In the house was over worked. Postal receipts Jumped $20. 000 In 13 dsys and were still climb Ing upward. Stevlc called In Hoy E. Ntrlson. postoffice inspector, but they admit ted they were stymied as housewives called newspapers wanting to know why the postal officials didn't mind thplr own business and deliver the 15.625 dimes apparently hundreds of women and many men, believe are due them from a chain letter plan. "You carry this thing through 12 turnovers and you have the astound ing result that the letter will go to 305.175.780 persona," said Nelson, who was called Into conference by Pos master J. O. Stevlc after the Denver postoffice was flooded with the ap peals. A little figuring showed me that if the chain carried through without brnnk only 3.911 persons of the 305,175.780 will receive the reward that la promised, a cash sum totaling 1, 562.50." Nelson snld. "The other 305.171,860 persons will receive noth ing." The chain letters first began ap pearing here about a week ago. They ask the receiver to place his name a list of names enclosed In the letter. The sender scratches off the top name, but sends a dime to the address given in the top place. The sender's name Is placed at the bot tom of the list and he Is asked to copy the letter and the list and to send it to five of his friends. When his name reaches the top of the lint, 15.625 ptrsons who have received letters are supposed to have sent him a dime each, or a totnl of 1.663.50 In rettirn for his dime. Nelson said the scheme was Illegal because It Is against the law to so licit money through the malls and furthermore that It eame under the classification nt a lottery. He had a hard time convincing housewives and buslnesse men who have participated, however. He added there might be fraud con nected with the scheme If fictitious names were placed In the list.
