The chairman, Representative John
w. Mccormack Of Massachusetts,, de-
clared evidence adduced during the
committees inquiry into alleged Nazi
propaganda indicated that Luther was
here In "a dual capacity" represent
ing both a government and a party"
The Nazi party was accused by Nc
Cormack of violating the principles Of
international law by attempting to
inculcate the policy Of its government
within the confines of a friendly ma
ton"
Mccormack said he based his asser-
tons on furlough papers which he
said had been lost by Ernest Berken-
hoff, a Nazi storm troop captain, on
q business trip TO this country, and
which had been turned over to the
committee.
The papers. Mccormack said. di-

today the latest poll Of the Literary

expected, is sinking fast"
In spite of breakdown threats, of
the Tammanyized use of Government
funds to aid its political candidates,
public sentiment is running strongly
against the New Deal" Fletcher said.
The statement was issued after pub
hcation of the poll, which, Fletcher
said, shows IT States voting a ma
jority opposed to President Roosevelt's
acts and policies"
This is a change from an earlier
poll showing A States approving these
policies on the whole
The poll shows the people are fed
up with ballyhoo. They want results.
They are not getting results and they
know they can't get them from a dis
honest and fluctuating dollar and the
crazy patchwork of the thousand and

TRIES
NEW AL|b| MOVE
Counsel Will Attempt to Give
Additional Evidence in
Appeals Court.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 1e.-Bruno
Richard Hauptmann today attempts
to hurdle judicial tradition in his
fight to escape extradition to New
Jersey as slayer Of the Lindbergh
baby.
Loser in habeas corpus proceedings,
his counsel will open an appeal hear
ing by requesting the Appellate Divi-
sion Of the Supreme Court to con-
slider new evidence. A member Of the
court told the attorney, James M.
Fawsett, last night that he could
make motion to that effect. He
gave the lawyer no assurance, how
ever, that it would be granted. New
evidence ordinarily is barred in ap-
peal cases, but Fawcett considers the
testimony of two additional witnesses
vital to Hauptmann's alibi.
Attorney General David T. Wilentz
of New Jersey called the witnesses
stories grossly inaccurate" They
tended to show that Hauptmann
worked in New York until 5 pm,
March /, 1882, the day of the kid
naping. The baby was stolen from
his crib, so miles away, between $3.50
and 10 pm.
Joseph M. Furcht, formerly con-
struction superintendent at the Ma
jestic Apartments, said Hauptmann
started working there the day Of the
kidnapping and was there the next
day. e. v. c. Prescia, employment
agency head, said he had sent Haupt-
mann there to get the job. Haupt-
mann had testified he was either at
the employment agency or on the
job; he was not sure which.
"Hauptmann did not put In a full
day of work on March l." said the
attorney general. THE police know
that because they have the time-card

FARM
WORK TO RESUME
$3.50, 900 in P. W. A. Funds
Is Being RealIocated to
Finish Buildings.

Construction will be resumed imme-
diately on the Department of Agri-
cultures experimental farm at Belts
vile, Md, it was said today, as q
result Of $450,000 in P. w. A. funds
being reallocated to complete several
unfinished buildings on which work
had been halted some time ago.
Upward of 800 workmen will be re-
employed on the various projects
These men were laid of early this
month when funds we're exhausted.
Public Works Administrator Harold
L. Ickes provided for the money be-
ing turned over to the Department
of Agriculture before he left Wash
-ington yesterday on q trip to the
West Coast. The Forestry Service
will provide 100000 for resumption
of work at Beltsyille, and the Bureau
of Biological Survey will make up
the remaining $4,000 from P. w. A.
funds previously allotted to 1t.
Requested by Wallace.
This reallocation of funds was made
on request of Secretary wallace. He
must determine what projects in the
Forestry Service and the Biological
Survey will suffer by this transfer OF
p. w. A. money.
Secretary Ickes disclaimed any
knowledge Of an investigation into the
Beltsville situation by men under
Louis r. CLAWS, chief of the p. w. A
Bureau Of Investigation.
Perhaps an excess of zeal was dis
played by some officials in the Belts
vile project, but there has never been
the least suspicion of graft or NAL
appropriation Of funds" he said.
The Agriculture Department has
acted in good faith from the begin
ming. I believe that some construc-
ton projects were carried through
that were not authorized, but all OF
the unauthorized items will be useful. y
Despite Secretary Ickes' avowed ig-
norance of an investigation, p. w. A.
officials as well as Department OF
Agriculture officials had previously ad-
mitted an inquiry had been made into
the situation at Beltsville, where the
Government is building the greatest
agricultural research center in the
world"
Secretary Ickes, in reply to ques-
tions, said he was not familiar with
charges made by the Associated Cen
eral Contractors of America that the
30-hour week schedule under p. w. A
regulations had been violated at Belts
vile. Charges had been made that
day labor employed by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture on several prof.
ects had been paid less than workmen
employed by private contractors on
the job.
