WASHINGTON. Aug. 30. Don't
mention It out loud, but about a
dozen congressmen took a trip down
nheflnneak b a V
last week - end
and gave vent to
their feelings.
What they said
about the new
deal would not
be lit to print
In the Congres
sional record, or
anywhere else.
. Speaker Byrns
was one of the
group. His re
marks will never
appear In print

President Roosevelt tilted his cig
arette to a 45-degree angle when
he signed the holding company
bill, and said:
"This Is the fattest bill I ier
signed."
None of the admiring congres
lonal group aald anything out
loud, but one who hd his fingers
crossed observed to himself that the
measure was fatter than the presi
dent knew.
The background on the soviet dif
ficulty Is this: Mr. Roosevelt would
have been very glad to get out of
Soviet recognition anyii
the route. Fundamentally he would
like to displease the Russians.
He is angry because they failed
to meet his good neighbor policy.
But there are limits to whut presi
dents can do.
The stock market has been going
down, some observers aay. on the
rumor that Chairman Kennedy of
the SEC might quit. Mr. Kennedy
wants to. He would have retired
months ago if he could have eased
himself out of his existing predica
ment (commonly called a Job.)
Lately hia friends in Wall street
have been telling him that he la out
of place, that he should retire.
Then ha. been no pressure from
the top to keep him. but he will be
keHis administration Is the only
one which la free from complaint.
Tha Democrats on Capitol Hill
believe Mr. Roosevelt Is the smartest
president they have ever seen. Even
the failure of the deficiency bm is
considered by them a victory. Floor
Leader Robinson encouraged, through
hla friends, a filibuster conducted
by Senator Long.
The admlnlatratlon had nothing
to lose. It will find funda to con
duct the affaire provided by the
bill, and will have the added ad
vantage of letting Long assume ma
jor responsibilities.
The president changes his mlno
every fifteen seconds about the west
.... i.m hi lntest Idea la to call
off the return v.slt through the
Panama canal ana come dik. uui
u p. ri tic northwest. He win
change hta mind again before the
ultimate decision.
The president misses Louis Howe.
Formerly the president's watchman
aat In the corner at all presidential
conferences, and told the president
whom to believe. Howe has not been
around during the last six months,
and the president suffers as a con
sequence.
The published figure on the pub
lic debt is S29.000.000.000. but It
really about $50,000,000,000, Senator
Olass has figured out. The obliga
tion of 810,000,000, assumed by the
government from this session ol
congress, coupled with the opera
tions of the Home Owners' Loan
corporation Bnd various other com
mitments, expands the obligation of
the government beyond published
dimensions.

MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, Cleveland,
O., Aug. 30. (AP) Benjamin O.
Howard of Chicago was the apparent
winner of the 910.000 Bendlx trophy
race from Los Angeles to Cleveland
today, by a margin of only 13'2 sec
onds ever Roscoe Turner, famed hold
er of the trancontlnental record.
Officials of the national air races
gave Howard' time for the 2.046
miles as 8:33:16.3. and said It was
approximately 13Va seconds faster
than Turner's time.
Only three other filers were still
believed en route at the time Howard
finished. They were Amelia Earhart.
Roy Hunt and Russell Thaw. The
famous woman pilot, flying a plane
much slower than the other racers,
had long since lost her chance to
equal Howard's time, and Thaw's
hopes of equalling Howard expired
not long after Turner landed. Hunt
and Thaw were unreported since
leaving the coast.
All the other contestants were re
ported forced out, one by death. Ce
cil A. Allen of Los Angeles was killed
In the crash of his plane shortly
after the takeoff of the race early
thla morning. '
Speaking Into an amplifier, Howard
said he would not go on to New York
in an attempt to set a new trans
continental record.
Howard took off from the Union
air terminal at Burbank, Ca'., at 6:07
a. m. (E. S. T.) Hla unotfl lal time
for the race distance was 8 hours, 33
minutes
Howard landed at Knnsas City at
10:46 a. m. (E. S. T.), took on 130
gallons of gasoline and departed at
10:53.
Although Howard was the first to
arrive here at the scene of the na
tional air races, there was no indi
cation whether he would win the
$10,000 air classic He arrived during
a drilling rain that was threatening
to force postponement of today's gen
eral program.
Hia time was 13 minutes slower
than the record set In 1932 by Jamea
O. Halzllp.
The Chicago filer pulled his white
racer to a atop directly front of the
airport and climbed out while a
small crowd of officials and photog
raphers thronged around him.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Aug. 30. ( AP)

Hauptmanrus Counsel Re
veals 'New Evidence' in
Appeal Fingerprint Con
firmation Sought.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30. (AP) Dr.
Erasmus M. Hudson, fingerprint ex
pert who figured prominently In the
Lindbergh kidnaping case, said to
day the fingerprints of the Lind
bergh baby could not be compared
with those of the body Identified as
that of the child because "tha hands
were missing from the body."
According to the autopsy, report
which Dr. Darles H. Mitchell, Mercer
county physician, handed New Jersey
state police the left hand and right
forearm were missing from the body
of the child which Colonel Charles
Lindbergh Identified as his son.
In California, where he Is Investi
gating "new evidence," C. Lloyd
Fisher, chief attorney for Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, condemned to
death for the kidnaping, said there
la a child on Long Island who
strongly resembles the Lindbergh
child as It possibly would appear now
and who "might be the missing Lind
bergh baby."
Dr. Hudson, who first came Into
the case at the request of police and
later testified for Hauptmann, said
he had developed and preserved the
Lindbergh baby's fingerprints from
toys and a high chair In the nurs
ery. "Enough fingerprints," he added,
"to determine definitely In the fut
ure whether any set of prints are the
same aa those left on the Lindbergh
baby's blocks, books and high chair."
Harold C. Kcyes, defense Investi
gator for Hauptmann, also disclosed
today the child on Long Island to
which Fisher referred was left with
a Catholic foundling Institute two
months after the kidnaping and Is
now being reared by a good family
in modest circumstances.
"The boy knows himself only aa
brother'," Kcyes said. "He is strik
ingly similar to Colonel Lindbergh,
and he has been frequently stopped
by strangers who exclaim There's
the Lindbergh baby. Once a police
man compelled the foster father to
show papers proving guardianship of
he child."

HELD MAIN ISSUES
Creel, In Luncheon Talk,
Favoi-s 'New Order' and
Social Security As Basis
National Life.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 30. (APt-
Ceorge Creel told the Commonwealth
club today the crux of political dis
cussions now la whether "recovery
shall go It alone, or be accompanied
by reform." The writer asserted in a
luncheon address:
"One school of political economic
thought believes a return to prosper
ity la all that we should hope tor and
work for. that thla pious aim meets
every possible human need and aspl
ration."
Another school, he said, Insists on
making such social and economic j
changes aa will not only restore pros- i
perlty but "build our national life on
a rock against which tno wind ana
rain and flood shall not prevail."
The conservatives, Creel declared,
"hold that the old order Is still usable
for another century or so. . . . they
still see nothing radically wrong in
the system that went to smash In
1D29.
"The progressives, on the other
hand, hold that what we witnessed In
1U20 waa the end of an era, and that
what we must have la a brand new
order. Quite frankly, I am a member
of that peculiar sect."
Business abuses. Creel argued, were
held In check up to about 1840 by
public opinion, which waa effective
against small firms.
Then corporate owneranip arose,
eliminating the close relation between
labor and management, while science
and Invention threw thousands, then
millions, out of work. These condi
tions. Creel reasoned, make tt neces
sary to scrap the traditional point of
view.
"The government that cannot care
for Its old and lta sick; that cannot
provide work for the strong; that
feeds Its young Into the hoppers of
Industry; and that leta the btack
ahadow of Insecurity rest on every
home, la not a government that can
endure or should endure."
About changing the constitution,
Creel said:
"The great men of the paat had no
doubt that the constitution was
meant to be a living thing, and not a
dead hand, and In a time of crisis
they acted In accord with the needa
of that crisis.
"Where was there warrant In the
constitution for the Louisiana pur
chase? Or for the purchase of Flor
ida. Alaska and the Oregon and Utah
territories; or for the Monroe Doc
trine ... or for the annexation of
Texas and Hawaii? Or for the emanci
pation proclamation?
"Coming down to the present,
where Is there specific warrant in the
constitution for the federal emergency
relief administration, the public
works administration ... or for the
millions loaned to banks, railroads,
corporations and life Insurance com
panies by the R. P. C?
