President Roosevelt has been looking the other way whenever anyone mention the bonus. However, his thoughts have pot gone unrtp orted to congress. A hoarse unof ficial whisper was radioed thru the house cloak room the other day. It conveyed the Idea that Mr. Roosevelt would veto any bonus bill carrying a - cash payment. .MALLON Alao, that he would algn nothing be yond a baby bond payment of about 750. Furthermore, the thought of more taxes was more repugnant to him than the Patman bill, which he vetoed last year. The whispering voice sounded very much like that of an eminent church man who had talked with Mr. Roose velt that day. At any rate. It was more than a good guess. The $50-a-plate cream of Washing ton society nearly curdled the other night. Ladles could not believe their eyes, even through their lorgnettes, when they noticed a waiter serve a bottle of wine to Mrs. Morris Shep pard and Mrs. Cordell Hull at the Jackson Day dinner. Mrs. Sheppard la the wife of the author of prohibi tion. Mrs. Hull la equally dry. It was noticed that neither drank, but finally a waiter come up to Mrs. Sheppard with $9 change. Somewhat indignantly, she declined It, saying ahe had not ordered the wine. All went home amazed at the mystery. If they ever find out that the well known actor-pollttcian. Eddie Dowl lng, paid $28 to a waiter to finance the practical Joke, Mr. Dowllng's act ing and politicking daya will be over. Note No spirits were served at the dinner, aside from Jackson's. He probably would not have liked that, but might have been consoled, by the faot that waiters could be Induced to bring spirits from the bar for a sir able tip. The moat conservative diplomatic authorities here have received a con fidential report that Japan has ship ped large quantities of gun-powder and percuhslon caps Into Its mandat ed islands In the Pacific. They would like to know the reason why, but dare not ask. Japan Is bound by the collapsing Washington naval treaty not to forti fy those Islands. The treaty has i year yet to run before Tokio's reuncl atton of It becomes effective. It U safe to say Mr. Rooeevelt did not refer to Mrs. Roosevelt when he made the Jackson Day reference to "some wisecracking columnist." The unreported fact la Mrs. Roose velt's writings for the past few years have failed to please her editors. They have tried to get her to pep up h er articles a nd to say some th t ng . AU wound tip by not renewing her contract. One mourned he could get tnythlng except material about chil dren In the public parks. Most people who come Into direct contact with the first lady are cap tured by he. charm. She la still a goddess to news women and even to her secretarial vnleta. The failure of her writings to reflect this personal magnetlam undoubtedly accounts for the wide public misconception of her efforts. Britain In tilting her nre at the neutrality bill, but secretly Hkea It. Unintentionally. It will 51 re her un challenged authority over the waves. Under It, the United States aban dons It traditional policy of freedom of the seas and the right of a neutral to trade with belligerents. Also, the president is authorised to withdraw protection of American nationals on the high seas. That really means the United States will condone a British block ad inywher. No othr fleet except ours la strong enough to challenge hers. The chairs of the nine supreme court Jus '.Ice hare been appraised at 38 as swond-hand material.

(Copyright, 1936. by the Associated Press) STATEHOUSE, Trenton, N. J., Jan. 11. (AP) The state court of par dona decided tonight that Bruno Richard Hauptmann must die for the Lindbergh baby murder. After an all-day session the court Issued a terse announcement that Hauptman's application for clemency "waa today denied." The decision ended all but the most forlorn of hopes for the Bronx carpenter to escape the electric chair next Friday night. Bruno "Cool" Hauptmann In the death house, re ceived the news "very coolly," the prison warden said. He told the war den: I have always told the truth. I can tell no other story." The prisoner "stood up very well" under the news. It was said by his attorneys. His only hope now lies either with Governor Harold G. Hoffman or the courts, and both hopes are desperate ones. The governor might delay the exe cution by a reprieve of not more than 90 days but even this power la doubted both by the governor and the attorney general. Governor Hoffman would make no comment tonight either concerning the possibility of a reprieve or the action taken by the court. Three Loopholes Hauptmann's chance for further delay through the courts lay In three directions: A habeas corpus action in federal court, an appeal for a new trial to Justice Thomas W. Trench ard, the aged jurist who sat on the bench during the Flemlngton trial at which Hauptmann was convicted: or a new request to the United States supreme court to review the proceed ings. This was rejected once. As soon as the court'st decision was announced, Lloyd Fisher, of defense counsel, started for the state prison to break the news to Hauptmann. The defense attitude was best voiced by the prisoner's wife, who said : I don't know anything about law, but I realize there can't be much left to fight with now; but we will go on to the ena 01 tne roaa. HIs Wife Sobs She went Immediately to the prison, sobbing convulsively outside as she she awaited admission. She was told, however, that she could not see her husband, as It was after visiting hours, aud that It would also be Impossible for her to see him tomorrow. She said she would go to New York and return next week. Under the traditional rules of the board of pardons, all members of the board, and all those who participated In the hearing, are bound to hold in confidence all proceedings of the board. Thla regulation effectively cloaked the events that took place In the chambers of the court of errors and appeals in the state house annex where the hearing took place. No New Evidence It had been Intimated prior to the hearing the defense would have new evidence of a nature sufficient to save the 39-year-old carpenter, but there was nothing to indicate any such evidence waa produced. The state, whose attorney general. David T. Wilenta, personally directed Hauptmann'a prosecution at Fleming ton, offered no formal opposition to the clemency plea, but it declined to Join In the request that he be granted mercy. Five of the eight members ot the court had previously passed upon the case, having sat as members of the state court of errors and appeals which denied hla apnlicatlon for a new trial. From the start Hauptmann has lost in every effort to escape punishment for the nation's most widely known crime. Arrested In New York when ransom bills were found In his pos session, he lost his effort to prevent extradition to New Jersey. He lost at Flemlngton: In his appeal to the court of errors and appeals; to the supreme court of the United States, now in hit appeal for clemency. Toll of the Auto PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 10.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. (AP) A seven-point program centered upon government-subsidizing soli conser vation was approved unanimously to night by farm lea-.icrs called to coun sel with the administration on a sub stitute for AAA. Authoritative sources said a bill secretly drafted two days ago in New Deal quarters would be quickly re vised to embody the legislative rcc ommendatlons of the 100 spokesmen for the nation's major farm organiza tions. In addition to soil conservation, the farm group called for retention of "valid" provisions of the adjust ment act whose processing taxes and benefit payments were outlawed Mon day by the supreme court; "further expansion" of foreign markets for surplus crops; and new taxes on pro cessors of livestock and dairy pro ducts. These planks were in the seven- point program: 1. Congress would empower tne secretary of agriculture to provtds for rental and withdrawal from com mercial production at equitable rates land necessary to promote soli conservation and to balance domes tic production with demand "at pro fitable nrices." Three methods for payment of cash to farmers were sug gested. . 3. Congress would appropriate "adequate funds" unofficially esti mated at about 9500.000,000 for thlti vear for the soil conservation and price adjustment program. 8, "Reasonable taxes" would be levied on processing of livestock and dairy products, the proceeds to bo used to "expand foreign and domes tic outlets." 4. Valid provisions of the AAA such as those authorizing marketing agreements would be "retained and strengthened." and a provision allo cating to the agriculture department 30 per cent of customs receipts ror expansion of farm markets would remain. 0. Marketing of commodities com ing under federal control would ue handled through farm cooperatives qualified under the Capper-Colstead act. 6. The. "American market" would be preserved for the "American farmer" and expansion of foreign markets would be promoted. 7. Final decision on the question of new taxes and similar issues was deferred for "continuing action and attention" by organized farm group. PROCESSING TAX WASHINGTON, Jan . 1 1 . ( UP) Ownership of approxlmtaely 1,300,- 00.000 (B) the amount of AAA processing taxes paid and due, hinged tonight on a supreme court decision expected Monday, The huge stake In the processing taxes virtually overshadowed possible decisions on validity of the TVA and the Bankhead cotton control act. The decision was awaited with In tense eagerness by the thre possible beneficiaries of the court's expected ruling: These were: The government which already has received and spent 1,000.000.000 of the huge total. Processors of AAA commodities who have paid 1,000.000.0000 to the gov ernment and tied up by court action another 2O0.000.000 which the gov- j ernment claimed. j Persons to whom processors passed on the processing tsxes. Interest In the court's action was heightened by a revelation that the expected decision virtually may close the door to recovery of processing taxes paid the government, while at the same time leaving the way open for those to whom the taxes were passed on to recover these amount from processors. In effect, this would mean thst proceMwrs who led the fight to In validate the AAA would lose rather than gain by the Invalidation of AAA whlrh the supreme court ordered. They would be unable to get their taxes back from the government and might have to pay huge sums to purchasers of their products In causes where they passed on tha tax. The exact situation should be clari fied by Monday If the court hands down its dec u ion in the rice pro Uninvited A suggestion mai ine Farmen Independence Council be repre sented at Secretary Wallace's farm conference waa made by Dan o.
