100000 PEOPLE
 ATTENDED MASS
10000 Troops Surrounded the Field Cathedral at
 BuenOS Aires

Buenos Aires, Oct. 13-(UP)-In the presence of 10000 troops of the Argentine republic and con gregation of 100000 citizens, four masses were celebrated today at the eucharistic congress, by Arch bishop Farfan of Lima, the Rev Rafael Edwards, vicar-general of the Chilean army, and the Arch . bishops of Porto Alegre and San Juan. st
 Cardinal Pacelli, secretary of state of the Holy See and the pope's legate to the congress, pre- sided over the ceremonies. Presi- dent Augustin P. Justo and his en- tire cabinet received communion from the hands of Archbishop Farfan.
 After communion, in which all the soldiers participated. the Ar genuine flag was hoisted to the peak of a 70-foot fiatstaff.
 There was one disappointment in the ceremonial. At Lujan, at 3 a. m. today, while the celebrated image of the Virgin was being lift ed from it's shrine at Lujan, experts oredred its return to the base of it's pedestal, in the belief that the train journey to Buenos Aires might might be disastrous because of the weight of the golden orna- ments adorning the statue.
 A reproduction of the statue was therefore set in place at a. m., before the arrival of the crowds. Many of the sick and crippled whose faith had inspired them 10 make a pilgrimage to the congress in hope of miraculous cures, were therefore disappointed.
 The salutes and honors which were to have greeted the appear ance of the statue were omitted.

 Premier Gaston Doumergue eulo- gized him at an impressive funeral service in the great Esplanade be- fore the Invalides, and said of him:
 "Barthou and I were friends for 40 years. With his entire strength he devoted himself to peace and rapprochement among nations and for those ideas he sacrificed his life.

Hauptnar1n Case Has
 Become Great Puzzle
Should He Be Freed of Murder Charges in Lindbergh Baby Case tIes Authorities Wonder What Will
 zss5@ % Then Happen 10 Him -- -- -

New York, Oct 15.-(UP)- Officials of both Bronx county and New Jersey continued retfcent to- day regarding procedure in the case of Bruno R. Hauptmann should he, be .abselved of murder charges in the Lindbergh' kidnap- ing case. Officials have declined to discuss any definite plans be- on murder charges. .eci'
 Legal authorities within the lastsweek have raised the question of whether 1t was good strategy to attempt to extradite Hauptmanr before his trial in Bronx county on ,extortion charges! Some con- tended that the prisoner might be able to escape trial in Bronx coun- ty should he be freed in New Jersey.
 District Attorney Samuel Foley, however, told the United Press that Bronx county will have no dis ficulty.in regaining custody of the prisoner should he be acquitted in New, Jersey. 3a 'lss,:-;' ss5-4;'
 Foley was asked; his opinion of d statement by ,S.S $. ' Hahns West Coast criminal. lawyer that If HauptmanE were,freed in New Jef- sey he could refuse to return to Bronx county and that he; could not be extraiited because he would not be .as fugitive. This contention was based on the fact that Hauptmann has refused to g6 voluntarily to New Jersey and that, in forcing him to go, Bronx county would abandon its right to call him a fugitive. T n
 Foley however cited various legal opinions in stating that Bronx county could sextraditel Hauptmann if necessary on other charges, such as that of possession of firearms without license. Thus. Foley said. he could be returned to Bronx, if necessary. fls
 Whether a, Kidnapping charges would, be preferred in New Jersey if Hauptmann should be freed on murder charges wasS undecided. New Jersey officials declined to comment, but it., was known that they aindicted the prisoner on a murder, charge only to avoid a pos siblc plea of guilty +tos the lesser Kidnapping charge. As u result they could; bring Kidnapping charges later if necessary, although evidence on the two charges would be similar.
