terventors" from the South might call
upon them before nightfall, but they
repeated that they placed NO special
significance" in the negotiations the
three Norfolk Virginians have under
taken.
A statement late last night by Capt.
j. j. Lamb Of the New Jersey State po-
lice said:
Col. Lindbergh has no knowledge of
developments at Norfolk. AS previously
stated, he does not believe the infor-
nation obtained at Norfolk is Of specific
significance in the case"
So far as could be learned, Col Lind
bergh had no appointment today with
any of the three men from Norfolk
John H. Curtis, Rear Admiral Guy II
Burrage and Rev. H. Dodson Peacock.
Some members of the State police still
stationed at the Lindbergh estate said
they understood the Norfolk men had
been in communication with men pre-
sumed to be rum runners in Virginia
coastal waters.
The officers repeated their previous
assertion that they had no knowledge
that negotiations for the return of the
baby, stolen from his nursery March /,
were in progress. The routine police
announcements continue to report no
definite progress.
The Lindberghs spent Easter quietly.
Mrs. Lindbergh's mother Mrs. Dwight
Morrow, was at the estate, as were
Col. Henry Breckenridge and Mrs.
Breckenridge, close friends Of the Lind
berghs.
In his regular 10 am bulletin, Col.
Schwarzkopf said his department was
not connected with the request of New
ark police for the questioning Of Miss
Betty Gruenler in Boston.
The bulletin said
Search for Harry FleiScher and Able
Wagner is being conducted, in accord
ance with a statement issued yester-
day. Many police departments are
working independently on this and have
not reported their progress to us.
Request of the Newark police made
to Boston authorities is evidently an
independent investigation on the part
Of the Newark Police Department. No
information concerning this has been
forwarded to us and no report has been
received on it from the Newark police
Investigations of the Purple gang
are being conducted all over the coun-
try. Most of these are independent in
vestigations conducted by local police
departments, who are not making any
reports to us Of their activities or find

Investigators are now checking up
on information received and continuing

President Hymans may convene 1t rs
soon as he deems it necessary.
The ASSembly's action-into which it
was unquestionably spurred by the
Stimson-Borah episodes of a great
deal firmer character than the discus
sions, especially among the big powers,
had indicated. 1t is at the same time
much less peremptory than some of the
smaller powers would have preferred.
It is an open secret that in its final
form the Assembly's resolution was
drafted SO as to make it acceptable to
the japanese. The six minor states
were elected by secret ballot. Those
which obtained the highest number of
votes were, in order, Switzerland
Czechoslovakia, Colombia, Portugal,
Hungary and Sweden. There was
keenest competition among the small
powers for places on the committee, in
dicating the anxiety of this group of
League members to see that nothing Is
left undone to maintain what many
Assembly speakers described as the
Leagues sacred honor"
World Opinion Divided.
Despite Geneva's eleventh hour ex-
hibition of intestinal investiture, world
opinion remains divided as to whether
the League has or has not emerged
from the Sino-JapaneSe imbroglio saved
or discredited. Pro-Leaguers, admitting
that the organization blundered and
fumbled almost fatally on the crucial
occasion, claim that 1t managed to
founder out of danger in the nick of
time. They acknowledge that the Far
Eastern mess turned the searchlight on
the Leagues weaknesses. They admit
that the covenant is now disclosed as
powerless to compel member states to
brand an aggreSsor and impose sane
tions if leading members frown upon
such action. But. granting that these
frailties have been exposed to SCOT
fing universe, Geneva's supporters still
contend that but for the League and
its Intervention. however awkward and
belated, the Sino-Japanese quarrel
might have-and in their opinion would
have-grown into another world con-
fagration.
Great Britain's reluctance to do any
thing designed to bring about League
of Nations war against Japan was freely
admitted by British spokesmen at Ge-
neva, and candidly defended. They
said that II an economic boycott had
been declared it is British trade with
Japan that would have been the prin-
cipal sufferer and not the business of
the smaller powers which were bowling
for vengeance against the Manchurian
aggressor. And, said the British, it
Furthermore Is they who would have
had to do most of the fighting. The
French and the Italians broadly took
the same view. As these three nations
between them are the tail that wags
the Geneva dog, no action more drastic
than that contemplated under the As
sembly resolution Of March IL was
practically possible.
In Great Britain's case she declared
herself unwilling TO resort to strong
neasUres-economic boycott and what
1t might have led to-without assurance
of American support. This apparently
was not forthcoming. The Leagues
alibi, therefore, may be that its hands
we're tied by the fact that 1t could not
know what the attitude Of the United
States might be.

CITES v. J. FLYNN
Bronx Public Works Head
Refuses to Answer Dur
ing Argument.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 28.-William j.
Flynn, Bronx commissioner of public
works, was held in contempt of the
Legislative City Investigation Commit
tee today for refusing to answer ques-
ton. The committee authorized Samuel
Seabury, its counsel, to take such action
as was appropriate in the Supreme
Court.
Commissioner Flynn created a stir at
the opening of the public hearing today
by demanding that he be permitted to
make statement Ito clear up" charges
made against him two weeks ago by
Louis H. Willard, who claimed his wife
was driven to suicide and he was ruined
financially by alleged persecution by
Flynn. The commissioner after period
ON the witness stand, took the attitude
that he would answer no questions un-
til the committee permitted him TO
make the statement.
Resumes Seat on Stand.
Flynn was being questioned when the
public hearing adjourned March 16 and
resumed his seat on the witness stand
when the hearing opened today. Samuel
Seabury, counsel to the committee,
asked Flynn to step down, as he, wished
to question another witness. Flynn LETT
the stand, but when he was few steps
away he stopped and declared in loud
voice:
Pardon me, Mr.. Chairman. thought
it was something unrelated to me. II
l-AA o. NIyoE a
chance first to clear up matters. 1 was
practically charged with murder here
In open court. respectfully ask that
we clear up that situation"
State Senator Samuel II. Hofstadter
chairman, told Flynn he would have
every opportunity to make any explana-
ton after Seabury had concluded ques-
tioning all his witnesses.
Wants to Make Statement.
st am a free-born citizen" Flynn
said. Il don't propose that counsel
should smear me around. I want a
chance to make a statement"
Senator Hofstadter. however, insisted
Flynn leave the stand, while Seabury
characterized Flynn's insistence as 'just
a practice of witnesses to show disre-
spect for the committee" Commissioner
Flynn finally resumed his seat in the
court room.
Hits Courts in Politics.
Seabury believes New York's Magis-
trates' Courts should be taken out Of
politics.
His report on the results of his in
vestigation of the lower courts, re-
leased yesterday, spoke of the present
system as the hideous caricature which
parades as justice"
He recommended that the power OF
appointment of magistrates be taken
from the mayor and given to the ap-
pellate division.
Seabury made three other main rec
concentrations:
Consolidation of the Magistrates
Courts with the Court OF Special Ses-
sions and the Childrens Court;
Appointment of public defenders to
protect the poor and the ignorant from
Shady attorneys and ambulance
chasers";
Reduction in the number of court
attendants by one-half, to save $16o,oo0
year.
Seabury's report, citing evidence
against IL magistrates, characterized
the Magistrates Courts ''as a part of
the political spoils system"

Ry the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, March 2S.-Mayor James
M Curley, Massachusetts, spokesman
for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt in his
bid for delegates to the Democratic
national convention, yesterday said ap-
peals for support of Alfred e. Smith as
a presidential nominee because of
friendship and affection" were "un-
thinkable.''
Curley directed the force of an ad-
dress at the Smith group in Massachu-
sets led by Gov. Joseph B. Ely, which
will contest with a Roosevelt slate in
the primary, April 26 He ridiculed
Ely's "new-found" devotion for Smith,
saying that in 1928, although elected as
a delegate to the Houston convention,
Ely did not prove by his presence and
his vote the loyalty and devotion that
he now shouts from the housetops for
Alfred E. Smith,
Curley, who was a Smith supporter
in 1928. reiterated his contention that
Smith was not candidate, and said
"the need Of America in the present
hour is the courageous, intelligent
leadership Of Gov. Roosevelt"
