WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. President
Roosevelt's best unofficial adviser
bellevta the New Deal will bank on
Nature rather
IXP- ,--"- tn . constitu
te. tlonal amend-
ment to change
the major I tyj
opinion of the'
supreme court.
He has consulted
life Insurance
charts and con
cludes that Mr.
R o o s e velt may
look forward to
appointing no
fewer than three
,'Hl MAI. ION new supreme
court Justices If he is re-elected for
a second term.
Republican Chairman Fletcher does
not know It, but many New Deal bu
reaus have been dramatizing skits
like "Liberty at the Crossroads" for
radio broadcasting. The federal hous
ing administration has been particu
larly active In that respect. It em
ploys actors. Their efforts are record
ed on transcription records which are
sent around to all broadcasting sta
tions, Including those owned by the
ohalns now refusing to handle Mr.
Fletcher's dramatisations.
Radio technicians believe the chain
broadcasters did Mr. Fletcher a favor
by declining to accept wholly politi
cal dramatics. As they see It, the
New Deal could out-dramatize the
opposition. If It ever got around to
that. They foresee greater technical
dramatic possibilities In Mr. Roose
velt playing Uncle Tom to the wolves.
Al Smith will not give out copies
of his Liberty league speech In ad--vance.
He Is writing It in note form
on the btcks Of envelopes. . " "
The league will have stenographers
take it down In five-minute relays. . .
There will be no formidable presi
dential movement for Al. Both he
and his friends are agreed that he
should put his foot down against any
such activity. He will make that
clear In his speech.
What Is behind the current federal
communications commission row Is
the fact that the son of a commis
sioner listened at the keyhole of
hotel room and overheard some fancy
remarks about the commission from
radio men. One thing he overheard
was a remark that one commissioner
could "be bought for two bits", or
something like that. He did not see
the smiles on the faces of some of
the radio men when they used those
big. long words disrespectfully de
scribing the commissioners.
Tou may accept It as a fact that
the new benefit payments to farmers
will not be financed by new Income
taxes, but through excise taxes, per
haps on farm implements . . . several
friends of George Creel (democratic
gubernatorial candidate In California
last time) have the idee, that he has
turned against the New Deal because
he is privately criticizing so many of
Its features. A competent authority
on that subject la certain that Creel
does not Intend to break publicly
with the administration.
Cabinet favorites at the White
House now are Morgenthau. Wallace
and Icttes, They frequently are In
cited to luncheons at the White
House. Morgenthau regularly every
Monday. Wallace and Ickes usually
come together. Roper brines In many
delegations to the executive offices.
He still Is the coordinator, cooperetor
and colluslonlst with business In a
way. Secretaries Dern. Swanson and
Perkins seldom come around.
During the first two weeks that
eorurresa was In session. It received
not a single specific recommendation
for legislation from the president,
aside from the budget. Such a situ
ation Is unprecedented. This eon
gresslonel session may rlvsl the old
lame duck session for Inactivity. Rep
resentative McGroarty of California,
who Introduced the Townsend plan
bill, has spilt with Dr. Townsend on
the question of a third party In Cali

advising Townsendltos to boycott the
state convention, but Dr. Townsend
Insist on going ahead. What demo
crat fear Is that a Townsend third
psrtv will take votes from Mr. Roose
velt.
The new btidget provides for 13

Measure Speeded.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. (API
After turning down by a decisive
margin a proposal to pay the sol
diers' bonus In new currency, the
senate late today deferred until Mon
day the virtually certain passage of
the coalition bill to discharge the
2.000,000.000 debt in cashable small
bonds.
A sudden change in plans by
Democratic leaders delayed the ac
tion Just aa It appeared that a
final vote was in sight. Another 15
minutes probably would have dis
posed of the Issue.
Just as Senator King (D., Utah)
arose to present the final amend
ment, to pay only the cash sur
render, or present value, of the ad-
tusted service certificates, Senator
Borah (R., Ida.) called attention to
the hour and remarked that since
the bill was to be passed anyway
nothing would be lost by putting off
a final vote.
Democratic leaders conferred hur
rledlv and the signal "no decision
today" waa given when Majority
Leader Robinson of Arkansas asked
for an open executive session to pass
on nominations, customary last-
minute business of a legislative day,
Packed galleries, sprinkled with
ex-soldlsrs In uniforms that betrayed
their age, saw the debate start at
noon then halt for another hark-
in back to World War policies, and
resume again, oniy to orna
issue to a third day for decision.
The new currency amendment pro
posed by Senator Thomaa (D., Okla.J
was rejected, 64 to 37. with many
senators who previously had favored
a similar method of payment In last
session's vetoed Patman bill. In
cluding Senator Borah, votlnj in
opposition.
Only three Republicans, 22 Demo
crats and the two farmer-labor mem
bers voted for the amendment. Nine
teen Republicans. 4 Democrats and
the progressive. LaPollette, answered
"No."
A viva voce vote shouted down
another proposal by Thomas to
make an outright appropriation of
2.237,000,000 to discharge the debt.
It appeared certain that the sen
ate bill would reach the house oy
Monday night. The bill already passed
by that branch, did not specify a
method of payment, but leaoera re
ported It likely that the senate
proposal would be accepted.
Senator Pope, Idaho Democrat,
was the only Pacific northwest sen
ator who voted for the new currency
amendment.

KIPLING MAY REST
WITH GREAT SONS
OF
British Poet and Story Teller
Passes Early Saturday
After Secluded Life.
LONDON. Jan. 18. (AP) Rudyard
Kipling. Great Brltalln's poet and
story teller of empire who died early
today, may be burled In Westminster
Abbey among the nation's greatest
sons.
Kipling's own wishes for his burial
place, frlenda said, probably will be
the only deciding factor. Through
out his life he shunned national
honors, refusing knighthood several
times, and thla attitude. It was point
ed out. may also have led him to
prefer burial In some quiet spot.
Final arrangements will be made to
morrow. .. , ' '. , ' ! ' ' 1 -J
The' British museum disclosed that
Kipling, shortly before nls death, gavS
It one manuscript of "Kim," probably
the greatest as well aa one of the
most popular of his longer works.
The poet, who has been called the
"favorite author of the Prllce of
Wales," asked the museum not to
make public announcement of the
gift until after hla death.
He stlpulted that one manuscript,
a bound volume, should not be used
"for purposes of collstlon or repro
duction." Another volume of manu
acrlpt poems was also presented to
the museum by Kipling.
The body wilt , be cremated, the
family has announced. It was taken
to a chapel from the hospital bed
where he underwent an emergency
operation Monday for a perforated
stomach ulcer. His American born
wife and their daughter were at the
bedside when he died.
Kipling, who waa 70. had lived In
seculslon for many years In the vil
lage of Burwash, Sussex.
Many tributes were paid to the
writer, whose tales and poems of
India made him one of the world'a
moat widely read authora of all time.

'Uncerainty' in Case Urged
As Motive Ellis Parker
Mildly Citicizes Courts
and Witnesses.
MT. HOLLY, N. J Jan. 18. ( AP)
Ellis Parker, chief of Burlington
county detectives, suggested today
that "because of the uncertainty that
prevails In this case," Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann'a sentence be com
muted to life imprisonment.
"Society would not be Injured," e
said In a statement, "and the ends
of Justice would be met."
Parker said Governor Hoffman's
motive In granting Hauptmann a 30
day reprieve waa "solely one of Jus
tice" because "down In his heart the
governor feels sure there la some
thing In this case."
"The star witnesses have since tes
tified to things or given statements
that wera entirely contrary to the
testimony at the trial," Parker said
"I am sure the governor, as well as
myself, have the highest regard for
the courts of our land and would not
say anything that would cast a re
flection upon them. The courts un
questionably did their duty aa they
aaw it and perhaps could do nothing
else. But If the courts were not ac
quainted with different things that
might have occurred that would
change the complexion of the whole
affair, they could, only render their
verdtoi -on what was presented to
them.
"I know there Is something wrong
In this case and It would be a shame
to have this man's life taken," he
said. "In my Judgment It will be a
smudge on the star that represents
the state of New Jersey In the Ameri
can flag."
The detective criticised an attor
ney, no longer connected with the
defense, for admitting the body
found near Hopewell was 'that of
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.
Parker also said many witnesses
who had Information that would have
been of asststtance to Hauptmann
were not called.
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 18. &
The critics of Gov. Harold Q. Hoff
man, openly skeptical of hla "new
evidence" In the Lindbergh case,
watchfully waited tonight for him to
show what he's got. '
"It's up to the governor to pro
duce," was the sentiment of those
who aided with Attorney General D
rid T. Wllents, In the belief thst the
chief executive "hasn't got a thing."
The attorney -general, who not only
says no new evidence has been pro
duced but also that the governor
lacked legal right to grant the 30
day reprieve which he extended to
Bruno Richard Hauptmann two days
ago, conferred during the day with
Ool. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head
of the state police.

DEPOSIT GAIN OF
BILLION DOLLARS
iirno
NEW YORK, Jan. 18. (AP) The
widening gap betwee.t rapidly rising
bank deposits and falling earnings
has been brought forcibly to Wail
street's attention by year-end state
ments of New York's largest com
mercial banks.
A compilation shows deposits gain
ed 17.3 per cent while earnings lost
31.8 per cent at the end of 1935 as
compared wlth the clostj .of-.Uia -pro-
vloua year.
Board chairmen and prrl dents of
the 10 largest banks were quick to
express their concern over the situa
tion. Many a stntcrfrnt to stockholders
of these Important Institutions this
year pointed out the situation was
chiefly the result of:
The sharply cut earning power of
money, due principally to the gov
ernment's easy money policy; com
mercial and Industrial loan volumes
that continue to scrape along at de
pression levels; IncreRaed taxes, and
the charges of the federal deposit In
surance corporation. '
The biggest banks In the country's
financial center, from the standpoint
of deposits, had combined deposits In
1035 of 89,460.401,700 against 18,000.-
891,000 the year before.
HIGH COURT EYES
NEW DEAL CASES
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. (AP)
The supreme court presumably
scrutinised a variety of new deal
litigation at its secret conference to
day, stirring speculation that It had
completed a final draft of its Tcn-
nensce valley act opinion.
The TV A ruling may determine
whether the government can sell
surplus electricity In competition
with private utilities. A brief session
for announcement of decisions will
be held Monday before the court
takes a two works' recess.
Those expecting the TV A ruling
Monday pointed to the speed with
which the court has disposed of
three other major cases. Two were
decided V18 days after oral argument
and the third In 34 days.

Sleep Britons Pray for
Recovery.
SANDRINQHAM, Eng., Jan. IB.
(AP) King Oeorge V, suffering from
a cardiac weakness and a bronchial
ailment, was sleeping peacefully at an
early hour this morning1.
The last official bulletin issued last
night said there had been no change
in his condition since an early even-
Ing announcement which stated that
"the cardiac weakness and embar
rassment of circulation has slightly .
Increased and glves cause for anx
iety."
A statement that there would be
no further bulletins during tha night,
barring a sudden change for the
worse, served somewhat to allay ap
prehension over the condition of the
70-year-old monarch, but there was
great anxiety throughout hla far
flung empire and the whole world.
As, members of tha king's family
gathered at Sandrlngham house, the
royal residence, a high source said a
crisis might be expected within 4fi
hours.
Bronchial catarrh, It was said, has
affected the sovereign's lungs and
nose, causing- hoarseness, feverish
ness has been caused, It was stated,
ness has been caued, It wa stated,
by a pulmonary lnflamation which
affected the lungs and heart.
All appeared quiet "ai the Sand
rlngham eBtate at 1:30 a. m. Tha
great Jubilee gates were wide open,'
but only doctors and servants were
allowed to enter.
The servants' quarters were ablaas
with light, and all were on duty, a
fact which waa not explained, but .
which waa taken to Indicate the ex
treme anxiety of officials for tha
safety of the king.
The London Sunday Dispatch de
clared a council of state will be ap
pointed tor the duration of tha king's
Illness, as was done when ha waa
believed In danger In 1930.
Tha announcement of no change In
1 hla majesty's condition was taken aa
an Indication he had failed to show
any signs of rallying.
When dusk fell across the Norfolk
countryside a group of s;tioua-,9yed
country folk, waiting at tha palace
gates, read with sinking hearts a lata
bulletin which told of a grave turn
In tha condition of their beloved
neighbor, "hla majesty, the squire."
The bulletin said:
"His majesty, the king, had soma '
hours of restful sleep.
"The cardiac weRknesa and em
barrassment of circulation has slight
ly Increased and give cause for anx
iety." "Embarrassment of circulation" waa
Interpreted to mean the heart action
was growing weaker.
One of England's greateat heart
specialists. Sir Maurice A. Cassidy,
was called to ttandriiighani today
from Loudon. Oxygen waa adminis
tered to the king last night but U
waa explained that thla la a modern
treatment for a catarrhal condition.
Men and women outside tha royal
residence knelt on a thick mantel of
snow to murmur prayers for the re
covery of the stricken monarch, the
small, bearded man with deep-set,
tired eyes whose reign of mora thaja
a quarter of a century has captured
the devotion of his 460,000,000 sub
jects. As lights of the residence twinkled
on, the slender figure of the Prince
of Walcif, the king's only bachelor
son and nett In Una of succession
to the throne, waa aeen passing ner
vously back and forth In front of
the upper window. He arrived from
London yesterday.
The Prtnceas Hoy a, the Countess of
Ha re wood, tho king's only daughter
