posts on the county board.
A cleanout of practically ever

with a large number of police
men, clerks, and minor officials

One of the first posts to be
filled will be that of chief Of the

have had it offered to them. The

The office of Charles Latimer,
clerk to the board of county COM
missioners, will also be filled by
a member of the Fusion group,
while several other important
county posts will be annexed by
the incoming commissioners.
Reports were also current to-
day that nearly all clerks in the
county government, appointed by
Democrats, would be supplanted

movement installed in their places.
A number of Fusion supporters

BUDGET FIRST.
CONCERN Of
FLAND|N
France Calm As New Premier
Calls Cabinet to Take Up
Policy Plans

PARIS, Nov. 9 .N.S0.-Premier
Pierre Etienne Flandin, heading a
second truce" cabinet quickly
substituted for the fallen govern
ment of CASTOR Doumergue. today
set aside constitutional reform
problems to grapple with imme-
date budget necessities.
France looked calmly on. pacl-
fled by the cabinets makeup
which covers the political compo-
sition of the chamber Of deputies
from right to left.
Avoid Tax Boost
Flandin was understood to be
proposing to his cabinet at its
first meeting today as Its first
move restoration of confidence
through immediate passage OF a
budget.
The new budget. it was under
stood, would carefully avoid any
increase in taxation. Flandin is
believed to plan coasting over the
crisis on loans.
Doumergue had planned to de-
rail a critical budget vote by
asking a three months credit from
parliament.
If he passes the difficult budget
hurdle-which is far from a GER
tainty-Flandin plans sweeping
economic and financial reforms
Some Omissions
Besides Doumergue, who retired
in bitterness, important omissions
from the new cabinet were Mar
shall Henri Petain, former minister
of war, who is also quitting poll
tics, and Andre Tardieu, ex-vice
premier, who was unfriendly
toward Flandin.
Following are members of the
new cabinet who were also in the
old: without portfolio, Edouard
Herriot; without portfolio, Louis
Marin; foreign affairs, Pierre La
val; finance, Louis Germaln-Mar'
tin; air, Gen. Victor Denain; ma
rine, Francois Pietri; merchant
marine, William Bertrand; educa
ton, Andre Mallarme: commerce
Paul Marchandeau; colonies, Louis
Rollin; pensions, Georges RiVollet;
health, Henri Gueuille. Other min
listers are: Justice, Georges Per
not; interior. Marcel Regnier; war
Gen. Albert Maurin; communica
tions, George Mandel; agriculture
Emile Cassez; public works, Henri
Roy; labor, Paul lacquer.
Stand to Be Short
Flandin's cabinet, it was eX
pected in we'll informed circles
would remain in authority unit
after the Saar Basin plebiscite or
January 13.
His policy in that connection
it was said, will be to keep g
firm attitude toward Germany
and work in cooperation with
Britain.
Although Herriot remains in a
high position in the cabinet, the
policy of continuing payments on
the debt to America which caused
his fall two years ago will find
no favor with Flandin, who is
an avowed opponent of paying
single franc more.

BORAH
FOR FULL
lJ.:S.PAY
Idaho Republican Would Limit
Immediate Restoration to
Low Salary Brackets

Federal employees, especially
those in the lower salary brackets,
should have their salaries re-
turned 100 per cent at once, in
the opinion of Senator William
e. Borah (RO of Idaho.
Attacking the original pay cut
as "hypocritical and dishonest
from the start" the Senator de-
clared reduction of Federal sala-
ries was contrary to the whole
program of recovery, adding
Salaries never should have
been cut In the first place and
I have been against IL from the
very beginning.
II do believe, however, that
only those employees salaries of
less than $4,000 should De re-
turned to a 100 per cent level"
URGES EARLY ACTION
When the Senator, who re-
turned to Washington today, was
asked as to the probable attitude
of Congress toward pay restora-
stjon ngiar to automatic expiration
81 Cie economy act June 80, he
said:
"FrOm the manner in which
the Government has been dis
tributing money in this cam
paign, should think Congress
would be willing to restore the
cut.
81 would like to see it do SO
the first day of the session."
BACKED PAY BILL
Senator Borah in the last ses-
sion of Congress sponsored an
amendment to the independent Of
fices supply bill providing for full
restoration of salaries to all en-
ployes receiving less than $4,000.
The supply bill was the legislation
which finally carried the proposal
for 10 per cent restoration of all
salaries.
The Idaho Senator worked
Fundamentally with the pay res
torationists" in the last Congress
and did much to bolster Republl'
can support for the action.

Organized business Is prepared
today to say "let's CO. on a
sound plan Of cooperation with
the Administration to achieve re.
covery.
This was strongly indicated by
business leaders today as election
bitterness waned and all doubt
as to the control Of the New
Deal" was removed.
Lund Takes Lead
The outcome may be the offer
by organized industry of truce
similar to that proposed by the
American B n * ers Association.
High Administration official Is
have indicated that such a truce
would be welcomed.
Within "a hours after Chair
man Jesse H. Jones of the RFC
sounded an optimistic note and
urged business to quit holding
back" Robert L. Lund, of st.
Louis, chairman of the National
Association of Manufacturers,
said adoption of sound policies
would lead to recovery.
In a message to International
News Service, Lund said:
Industry has welcomed the
statements in recent weeks
from President Roosevelt and
other high officials that re-
cOvery is to be sought through
sound methods of cooperation
that will build confidence.
"If this policy is followed
by Congress, we shall soon be
on our way to recovery. There
is an abundance of private
credit and purchasing power
stored up awaiting the driving
force of such a program"

Rudolph S. Hecht, of New Or.

HAUPTMANN'S
GUN TRACED
To NEPHEW
Kin of kidnapping Suspect
Tells of Selling Tiny Pistol
to Accused Man
Copyright. 1894. by International
News Service)


News Service)
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The mys-
terry of how Bruno Richard
Hauptmann came into possession
of the tiny German pistol which
police found so cleverly hidden
in his garage was cleared up to-
day by Hans Mueller, Haupt-
mann's nephew, in an exclusive
interview with International News
Service.
Mr.. Mueller, who. like his un-
Gle. is an unnaturalized German,
admitted he sold Hauptmann the
gun during the winter of 1881
several months before the Lind
bergh baby was snatched from
his crib and murdered. the crime
with which H upt m a n n is
charged.
Shielded Family
The young German explained
he had not told authorities the
story up to this time because he
wanted to protect his family from
embarrassment.
tfifahn, he said, had with
st6Od weeks of grilling about the
gun because he wanted to shield
Mr.. Mueller and his family from
any suspicion.
The story of the gun, which Mr..
Mueller persistently referred to
as "the toy" is as fantastic as
other phases of the Lindbergh
case, involving minor interna-
tional intrigue.
Mr.. Mueller said:
/ first saw the pistol in the
winter of 1929. 1 was working
as waiter in place on Eighty
sixth Street at that time. A
few days before Christmas a Sa-
loon owner / knew on Eighty
sixth Street received a package
from Germany.
Inside the package was an
other package containing two
tiny pistols of the same make.
One of these was the one later
found in Richards garage.
MAIL MIX-UP BLAMED
There were also some mys-
teriOus directions to mail the
guns on to another party. My
friend apparently got them
through some sort of lnix.up in
the mails or something. Any
way, he didn't know what it
was all about, so he kept them
and gave one to his bartender.
"ThiS bartender showed it to
me and / liked the little toy so
well he gave it to me in place
of Sc he owed me.
"AbOut two years later-it was
in 1871 showed it to Richard
Hauptmann and he, too, was
greatly taken up with the gun.
He said it looked like a cute
toy 1 needed money at the
time, so 1 sold it to him.
think he gave me Sc, though
maybe it was $40.
THAT was the last / heard of
the pistol until the police found
it in Richards garage after
they had arrested him."
GUN FOUND WITH CASH
Recovery of the little gun, hid.
den in a board in Hauptmann'S
garage along with about $500 in
Lindbergh ransom bills, was one
of the most sensational develop
ments after Hauptmann's arrest.

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Nov. Z

tor Arthur R. Robinson.
A lawyer now, an overseas
