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.

SPECIAL SESSION
LOOMS 10 REVISE
OLD AGEPENSION
State Law Must Conform to
Federal Security Act
Drouth Aid Plans Also to
Fore Governor Favors
20-Day Meet of Necessity
SALEM, April 30. (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." He declared Carey was
one of the most distinguished citi
zens In the state and had the ex-

LINDY'S PRESENCE

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." E

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.

BEVKRLY HILLS, Apr. 19
That was a great flight the
I'an-American made. They will
ilo some great work out there.
I have often wondered why
the army and navy don't make
that flight almost regularly. A
nicht or so aijo I went to listen
to Amelia Earhardt tell of
making it. Don't miss it. Her
personality equnln her flyinif
skill.
Huey has the greatest chance
he has had now. The govern
ment is spending too much. A
state, if it had the will and tli
leadership, could work itself
ont. So if he refused any
money, pitched in and did it,
then he would prove something.
It could he done.
