WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. 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.

Under It, the United States aban

CLEMENCY DENIED
LINDY JOT KILLER
BY
Bruno 'Cool' in Death House
Last Forlorn Hope
Rests With Governor
No New Evidence.
(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.

Farm Leaders Approve
Seven-Point Program
Foreign Trade, New
Process Tax Sought.
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
