Hero Is Censored

The Times magazine of July a,
carries a story concerning "Her
Hero" advertisement which has been
grazing a number of billboards of the
county within the past few weeks. 1t
states in part:
Long and varied has been the
career of the best known U. S. bull
Bull Durham" He was born in
Durham, N. c., at the close of the
Civil War. But not until last month
had Bull Durham encountered Ro-
nance. Then suddenly $4,000 bill
boards throughout the land pro-
claimed the news. They showed him
pasted on the side of a barn. Before
the picture, big eyes ogling, tongue
hanging out in an expression of
lugubrious passion, stood a buxom
COW. This whimsy was captioned "Her
Hero"
Motorists grinned. Advertising men
thought it smart. But to the church
women of Willow Glen, California, it
was the epitome of bad taste, an af-
front to California womanhood. They
went before their town council and
demanded that Willow Glen's school
children should not see it on their way
to school. The council summoned for

Jefferson Rally Places
Hoover "On Sp0t'

Flaming criticism of President
Hoover, coupled with promises
that if the Democrats are re-
turned to power in November
they will lead the country out of
the economic moraSs in which
it is floundering, marked oratory
at a Jefferson rally today at
tended by most of the Demo
cratic presidential aspirants.
The Democratic guns started
firing at the White House at a
luncheon and the bombardment
will be continued this evening,
when AL Smith, Gov. Albert C
Ritchie, of Maryland; Ex-Gov.
James E. Cox, of Ohio, and
others swing into action at a
banquet before 1900 prominent
Democrats from all parts of the
country.
Leaders Open Fight
The noon-time speakers were
the party leaders in Congress.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Representative Rainey of Illinois,
and two women, Representative
Mary T. Norton of New Jersey
and former Gov. Nellie Tayloe
Ross of Wyoming.
One after another they opened
wide the floodgates of acrid
criticism of Hoover policies, past
and present, and one speaker,
Mrs. Norton, demanded the aboli-
ton of prohibition. The others
were silent on this issue.
Robinson sarcsStically referred
to Mr.. Hoover as The Miracle
Man" and recalled the promises
that had been made in his name
in the campaign of 1928. He pro-
voked laughter by quoting Senator
Borah in 1928 as solemnly assur-
ing the country that Hoover is
one of the marvels of the century
in his ability to deal with eco
nomic problems"

Mr.. Hoover himself, Robinson
asserted contributed to this propa-

contributions to the era of pros

'JAFS|E' PLACES
AD IN TIMES

The personal column of The
Washington Times is being used
today in what may be another
frantic effort to obtain the safe
return of the Lindbergh baby.
Shortly before II o'clock a man
appeared at The Times office,
and inserted the following adver.
tisement:
"ATO-YeS, will work with
you alone, and tell nobody.
JAFFIE."
The signature given, except for
one letter. is the same used by
DR.. John F. Condor, 72-year-old
Fordham University lecturer, who
signed himself "Jafsie' in his mes

Sonal columns of New York
papers. DR.. Condor is the Lind.
bergh go-between who paid $50,'
900 to the supposed kidnapers for
the return of the baby.
The man who inserted the ad,
vertisement wrote it out himself
and appeared to consider it as a
routine matter, showing no signs
of nervousness. He was blond,
weighed approximately 100
pounds, had sandy complexion,
and wore a light brown suit and
a brown hat.

BEERDENANDED
FOR REVENUE

The National Association of
Manufacturer favorS modification
of the Volstead act to permit the
manufacture and sale of beer as
one method of increasing the Gov
ernment's revenue.
James A. Emery, counsel for the
association, appeared before the
Senate Finance Committee today
at its hearings on the new tax in
crease bill, already passed by the
House, and urged that the prohi-
bition laws be amended to permit
the sale of beer.
Emery said the manufacturers
believed manufacture and sale of
a wholesome cereal beverage such
as beer would bring the Govern

PayIess FurIoughS Proposed to
House Committee as Plan
of Federal Economy

President Hoover today pro-
posed the introduction of the
principle of the five-day week
throughout the Government
service in a revised plan to
effect a reduction of $95,000,-
600 in the pay and allowance
of Government workers.
The revised plan was submitted
to the House Economy Committee
by Director of the Budget Roop
shortly before the committee pre-
pared to renew its conferences at
the White House. g.
Three-Point Proposal
The plan of the President,
substitute for the proposed IL per
cent cut in pay, with exemptions
of $1,000, suggested by the
economy committee, includes:
Introduction of the principle
of the five-day week or it's
equivalent throughout the Gov
ernment service.
Elimination of all annual
leaves with pay.
Elimination of allowances to
rural mail carriers for vehicle
maintenance.
No decision was reached by
the committee on the substitute,
but members n d c t e d they
would insist on their own pro-
posals.
FurlOughS without Pay
A memorandum submitted by
Roop said the five-day week could
be provided for per diem en-
ployes by eliminating Saturday
ornin ng work, which would
amount to 26 days furlough with
out pay.
For employees on an annual
basis, a close equivalent to the
ftve-day week would be provided
by one month furlough without
pay.
Roop said that since the fur
Tough could not always be made
a continual absence for a full
month, the employe provision
should be made to split it into
smaller units when desirable.
This would amount to a reduc.
ton of pay for "a working days
o year.
Adjustments Suggested
To prevent those employees re-
ceiving $4,000 a year or less
from being reduced in paw be-
low the income for comparable
occupation outside the Govern
ment service, Roop suggested that
authority be given to adjust the
furlough.
He also suggested authority to
extend the furlough to bring
down the employees wage to com.
pare with private industry if
necessary.
The latter provision is in line
with the original proposal of
Mr.. Hoover to adjust Government
salaries on the basis of pay in
private industry with protection
of employees receiving low wages.

TRENTON, N. j., April 13
(I.N.S. Examinations that he
was again in direct contact
with the kidnapers of the
Lindbergh baby and that he
had an inkling of their
identity were given today by
DR.. John F. Condor, 72-year-
old Fordham University lee
turer.
Furthermore the belief that
Condor dealt with the actual
kidnapers and not racket
eers'' when he surrendered
the ransom money was given
strength by the disclosure that
it was a sample Of handwrit-
ing that convinced Lindbergh
that Condor was dickering
with the real captors.
New York police revealed that
Lindbergh had informed them
the Identification of the Grim
inals, who got the ransom, as
the actual kidnapers was estab-
lished by the signature and hand
writing in communications sent
to them.
Writing Compared
No token, piece of clothing, or
safety pins were offered as proof,
it was said. The handwriting
was declared to have been ex-
amined by experts, who pro-
nounced the communications
written by tie same hand that
wrote the original ransom note
found in the bays crib on the
night of March /, when the infant
was stolen.
To pupils in one of his classes
at New Rochelle College, where
he also lectures, DR.. Condor was
said to have made the statement
that he recognized the hand
writing in the notes from the
kidnapers as that of a former
student Of his.
Recognized Writing
He remarked, the report went
on, that the most characteristic
element of it was that the letter
''T' was never crossed.
1t was believed that DR.. Condor
had not only seen the messages
he received from the kidnap gang
as negotiator for Lindbergh but
also the original ransom note
left in the baby's crib, which has
been jealously guarded by Lind
bergh, since it contains the secret
code" for identifying the abduc-
tors. He declared:
81 had contacts with the
kidnapers and have direct con.
tact with them still.
81 have never revealed their
identity or said a word against
them.
