BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, September al
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh
were reported today preparing to ny
back to New York where Bruno
Hauptmann was held in connection
with the kidnapping and death of
their first SON.,
The flying Lindberghs themselves
were In seclusion. Secrecy which has
surrounded their movements since
they few into Los Angeles Monday at
the end of a leisurely cross-country
flight, was redoubled even before news
Of Hauptmann's arrest reached here.
It was said they knew in advance
that an arrest was expected.
Intimate Friend Quoted.
One of their intimate friends who
has entertained the famous couple
here. said they would have nothing
to say except to authorities. He added
that they were getting ready to re-
turn to New York.
Even officials of the airline with
which the colonel is connected, and
Mrs. Lindbergh's sister, Mrs. Aubrey
Morgan of Pasadena, denied knowl-
edge of the couples whereabouts and
rumors that they had been in touch
with the Lindberghs.
II have not been able to reach him
since he left here this morning." J.
L. Maddux, aviation official at whose
home Lindbergh was staying, said last
night. He did not tell me where he
was going and I do not know when
he will return"
Movements Mystery.
Since Col. Lindbergh set his bor-
rowed plane down on Clover Field at
Santa Monica after he had announced
he would land on the Los Angeles
municipal airport, mystery has sur
rounded his movements
He has appeared Unexpectedly at
various aviation centers for brief stays.
A variety of messages for the couple
which poured in from all parts of the
world following Hauptmann's arrest,
remained unreceived and unanswered.

Are Told.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, September
2l-President Roosevelt today issued
a personal appeal to the textile strik-
ers and manufacturers to end i'm
mediately the textile strike.
His statement backed up the same
proposal made last night by the spe-
cial Board of Mediation, headed by
Gov. Winant OF New Hampshire. The
Presidents declaration today made
public through a secretary, Marvin
H. Mcintyre, follows:
In formally approving the report
submitted to me by the Board of In
quiry for the cotton textile industry,
I want to express the very sincere
hope that all employees now out on
strike will return to work and that all
textile manufacturers will take back
employees without discrimination.
Employers Aid Expected.
"At the same time, am confident
that manufacturers will aid the Gov
erment in the carrying out Of the
steps outlined.
"Settlement of the problems in
volved will be reached with the exer-
else of a spirit of cooperation and
fair play on both sides"
In Washington, meanwhile, term-
nation of the strike by tomorrow at
the latest was indicated even before
the Executive Council of the United
Textile Workers met to act upon the
report of the Mediation Board. APP
proval by the council was predicted.
The Winant report recommended:
l. A textile labor relations board
to protect labor's rights.
2. A survey by Government agen-
cies to determine whether the in
dustry can support an equal or a
greater number of employees at
higher wages"
8. A second board to regulate the
stretchout-a system whereby a
worker tends greater number OF
machines.
4. An inquiry by the Labor De-
partment to aid IN settling the
problems of differentials between
prescribed minimum wages and the
wages above the minimum.
Mr.. Roosevelt thoroughly read and
discussed the report of the special
board in a conference here yesterday
with Secretary of Labor Perkins and
Gov. Winant.
Secretary Perkins enthusiastically
indorsed the principles enunciated by
the special inquiry board for settle
ment.
It is believed Mr.. Roosevelt is ready
to have the special board serve as a
committee of arbitration should the
strikers and manufacturers agree.
Returning to his home here early
yesterday after a cruise to the in
ternational yacht races, the President
Immediately took up the strike prob
lem. Miss Perkins and Gov: Winant
were lunch guests and remained until
late in the day.
Mrs Mary Rumsey, chairman of
the Consumers Board of the N. R. A,
and Walton H. Hamilton, chairman
of the N. R. A. Advisory Council, also
were luncheon guests at the Summer
White House.
The President listened to a brief
report from them on the progress Of
the National Recovery Administration.
Meanwhile, Carolina textile workers
and mill owners prepared for another

Central and Western Japan.
The steadily-mounting toll Of casu-

hardest hit of all, police reported
1,067 persons were dead and 3,057 in
jured. There also, the police said, 1sl

The casualties appeared to have
been concentrated in the cities OF

Three little pin holes In each
of the ransom notes, and a part
of a baby's sleeping garment,
received by Col. Lindbergh dur
ing a month of negotiations with
the kidnaper of his son, are the
all-important clues that link
Bruno Richard Hauptmann with
the actual kidnapping and mur-
der of Charles Augustus Lind
bergh, jr.
Handwriting comparisons and
other means of Identification
are, of course, highly significant,
but when the writer of the 13
ransom letters received after the
kidnapping drew two mystic, in
terlocking circles at the bottom
of each missive and punctured
them with three tiny holes, he
gave convincing, incontrovertible
proof he was the actual kid
naper. He clinched this proof
later by submitting a piece of
cloth positively identified by
Betty Cow as part of little
Lindy's clothing.
Even the strange symbol of
blue-ink circles, with their over
Tapping portion filled in with red
ink, conceivabiy could have been
duplicated by an impoStor, but
no person on earth other than
the man who wrote the note
found pinned to the baby's nur-
sery could have duplicated those
pin holes, investigators declare.
Holes in Same Place.
This is the reason: The crudely
written note on the window sill
and all subsequent letters re-
ceived as a result of the "JafSie"
negotiations by DR.. John F. Con-
don had been piled on top of one
another-probably in blank
sheet form long before any of
the letters were written-and
punctured simultaneously in
three places on the circle symbol.
In the original ransom de-
mand found on the sill of the
nursery by Col. Lindbergh on the
night of March 1, 1882, special
attention was called by the kid
naper to these holes. This note
read:
Dear sir:

a continuation of the final SEN
tence regarding the signature,
reading "and holds" The en-
phasis on the three holes served
to heighten interest in them by
investigators, who found that
all succeeding notes bore the
same kind of holes in exactly the
same relation to each other,
geometrically.

 There can be but one decision on these issues, so long as we keep the facts before the public. Banks Closed March, 1888
 We all know the situation which existed in March, 1888. Every bank in the country had closed fol- lowing the state bank holidays and the many bank failures. Business was paralyZed. The millions of un- employed were being added to daily. Worst of all, during the four years of increasing depression, the republican party had formed no plan for recovery. When action was needed, that party, then in power, offered a suffering nation nothing but hope. To our party was given the responsibility and the opportunity for action.
 March 4th was Inauguration day. Immediately the government began to act-to take positive measures ledullS tO d cure OL tIle dying nation. Under the leadership of President Roosevelt, the demo- cratic party immediately attacked the emergency, launching a com prehensive program, designed first to prevent suffering and bring about business recovery, and sec ond to determine conditions which led to the collapse and to provide for their correction.
 Banking Act Worked
 Included in our party's program are the Banking Act, which per- mitted banks to reopen on a sound basis, and the Deposit Insur- ance Act, to insure deposits up to S5,o00;
 The Economy Act. to cut ordi- nary running expenses of govern ment;
 The Executive Order restricting the use of gold, the resolution cancelling the gold clause in con- tracts; the gold reserve act revalu- ing the dollar, and the silver pur- chase act;

 Nothing But Attacks
 Aside from attacks, our oppon- ents have nothing to offer. We have the program and we have the men to carry it out. We have a president interested solely in the welfare of the people, not of sec tion, class, or corporation. We have in Governor Cross, Mayor Hayes, Congressman Maloney and the other nominees, a state ticket of able, honest, fearless men, inde- pendent of control by any machine, the president. True political liberty, the revival of true representative government, demands the election of every one of them.

That leadership he has given us, that support we must give him and to that support l pledge my every effort.
