NOTEH0LDER'S

hope Of note holders in the de-

The reversal came in the case
of Minnie E. Simpson, who sued
to recover $4,000 from David L..
Stern, builder Of the Ponce De
Leon Apartments. She was given
a directed verdict by the District
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Stern commended proper
payment had been made. The
lower court did not agree with
this contention, but the appellate
court upheld it. Mr.. Stern was
represented by Attorneys Alvin L.

from the NRA regularly despite
his discharge from the service last

Justice agents for investigation.
He was not booked Immediately.
$500 Involved
Bradish j. Carroll, jr., admins
trative assistant and chief clerk
of the MIRA, declared:
"There is something like $500
involved"
Explaining the fact that Mr..
McCulloh had been drawing his
pay each payday despite his dis
charge, officials said the "mixup"
occurred in June, when he was
transferred from the manufacturers
code division to one Of the service
divisions and later dismissed.
Neither division formally mott
fled the chief clerk Of the dis.
missal, it was said, resulting in
Mr.. McCulloch remaining illegally
on the pay roll.
The situation was noticed by

tives were called in to wait for him
today.
In Service a Year
Mr.. McCulloch, 20 years old,
lives at the Miramar Apartments.
He had been employed by the NRA
about one year, it was reported.

DOZEN SEEKING
HOUSE FLOOR
LEADERSHIP
With Byrns Slated for Speaker
Post, Hot Race Is on
For Secondary Job
BY FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

BY thANhL1N u. SAnA WE'LL
Although about. a dozen men,
bers Of the House are candi-
dates, active or potential. for the
post Of Speaker. Representative
Joseph W. Byrns, Of Tennessee
appeared today to have a COM
handing, if not a deciding, lead
in the contest.
Representative ByrnS, as the
Democratic lea der Of the last
House, is the "heir apparent" to
the late Speaker Rainey under
the rules of seniority. and 1t
seems now that, despite the am
billions Of numerous Of his COL
leagues, he will ascend to the
rostrum when the new Congress
meets in January.
Even should Mr.. Byrns win the
pledges of enough members now
to assure his election to the
Speakership, however. the race
for the position would continue
with undated zeal.
But in reality the goal of many
Of those who have announced
their candidates. for the Speak
ership, or who will announce
Immediately after the election
next month, is not the Speaker
ship but the floor leadership.
Floor Leadership Is Goal
Consequently most Of the talk
which is now going on and IS CEN
tering around the Speakership has
to be discounted to the basis OF
the party floor leadership fight.
Members of the House figure that
if they can gain enough proml-
nence in the Speakership fight
they can carry that prominence
over to the leadership fight. That
Is exactly what nine-tenths OF the
candidates already announced for
the Speakership are aiming at
Won't Admit 1t
Naturally, none of those who
have announced for the Speaker
ship will admit that in reality
they are seeking the lesser berth
of floor leader. To make that ad'
mission would be a startling lnno-
walton in House politics.
Nevertheless, they know that
unless the White House should
intrude into the picture and in
dicate that is not sympathetic
to the candidacy of Representa-
tive Byrns, Mr.. Byrns is almost
certain to be elected. Thus Tar
the White House has shown no
disposition to enter the fight and
there is no reason to believe that
it will.
Aside from the candidacy Of
Representative Byrns, it therefore
can be assumed that those who
announce for the speakership in
reality are seeking the leadership.
Several Out For Post
Among those who have an
nounced or whose friends have
announced their candidacy for
the speakership are Robert A.
Green, of Florida; James M.
Mead, of New York; Marvin
Jones, Of Texas; John w. Nc
Cormack, Of Massachusetts,; Sam
Rayburn, of Texas; william B.
Bankhead, of Alabama: John
Rankin, of Mississippi and Adolph
j. SABBATH, Of Illinois.

silver price-raising program was
threatening China with "a poten-
TALLY serious monetary situation"
Secretary Hull noted the program
was mandatory by act Of Con-
gress.
The Chinese communication,
dated October 2, stated Amer
lean cooperation to prevent a
further rise in silver prices and
to maintain stability was par

Seems Very Calm
AS Hauptmann sat there, his
wife, who a few minutes before
Shad left the stand, strained to
catch his eye. She had taken a
seat among the spectators. She
lifted her right hand and waved
to her husband. but apparently
he did not see her.
His sharp, drawn face wore a
concentrated expression. He was
clean shaven. His hands lay
folded in his lap. He seemed to
be calm enough. Before he started
testifying he wiped his lips with
. handkerchief.
There was a brief conference
of lawyers for both sides with
Supreme Court Justice Ernest
Hammer.
Then James M. Fawcett, attor-
ney for the defense, began to
question the witness. He said in
q soft voice:
''Now, Richard, you are the
defendant in this case?"
Il am"
The former machine gunner
settled back in his seat.
Fawcett walked to within six
feet of the witness chair.
Q. (by Fawcett) you rec.
ollect the first day of March,
1882?
Ayes.
Hauptmann nodded affirma.
lively at the same time.
Q.-That was a Tuesday?
Ayes.
Says He Was Home
Q.-Were you at home the
Monday before?
Al was.
FaWcett asked Hauptmann If he
slept at home on Monday night,
the night before the kidnapping Of
the Lindbergh baby. The witness
said that he did.
Q.-What did you do the fol.
lowing morning?
Al took my wife to her
work at 1915 Dyer Ave-, In the
Bronx. It was about Z in the
morning.
Hauptmann'S voice began to
break. There was a sobbing tone
to his voice. The voice verged on
that Of a tenor.
He said he and his wife left
their home at about IL minutes to
z o'clock that morning.
Defense Attorney Fawcett
quickly shifted the line of inter.
rogation.
''YOu worked for the Reliance
Property Management Com.
pany prior to March l, 1892"
EYES,"
''Did you work steadily for
them?"
"That I cannot remember"
Turns Pale, Is Uneasy
Hauptmann's face was deathly
white. He seemed to be puzzled
and was having difficulty in un-
derstanding even simple ques-
tionS. He talked in a frightened
voice.
A court attendant was asked
to hand him a pay check from
the Reliance Corporation for
$36.67 and dated March 81, 1892.
Hauptmann'S reply was DELHI
crate. Before he answered, he
thought for some time. He scruti.
nized the check, turning it over
and over. He pursed his lips.
He was handed another check
from the same company, for
$6.67, and dated April is, 1882.
Q.-Do you remember for.
what period the checks were
given to you?
A.-No.
Hauptmann was asked if he
knew Alfred M. Gizzell, of 205
West Twenty-first st. He said he
did not.
GiZzell was his foreman when
he worked for the Reliance Cor
poration; which was doing work
for the Majestic Apartment Hotel
on the West Side of New York
city. Hauptmann had been en-
ployed as a carpenter.
The witness, however, identified
the two checks as having been
paid to him. They were paid, he
said, at the office at Seventy-sec-
ond Street and Central Park
West.
