News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping Brought Near Solution by
Arrest-President's Board Offers Plan for
Settling the Textile Strike.
Bv EDWARD w. PICKARD
@ BY Western Newspaper Union.

MYTH the arrest of Bruno Richard
wv Hauptmann in New York city. the
government agents and state police ap-
peared to be we'll on the way toward
solving the Lindbergh baby kidnapping
and murder mystery. The prisoner.
German alien thirty-five years old, was
nabbed after he had given to filling
station man a $40 gold certificate that
was found to be part Of the ransom
paid the kidnapers by DR.. John E. Con-
don-"Jafsie'-over a cemetery wall
in a vain attempt to get the baby re-
turned. In Hauptmann's garage IN the
Bronx the police found $13,75O which
also was identified as part of the $780,
600 Jafsie had paid. Then circum'
stantial evidence rapidly was gathered
to prove Hauptmann was one OF the
guilty men, and he was partially identi-
fed by Doctor Condor, as well as by a
taxi cab driver who said the prisoner
was the man who gave him 81 eleven
days after the kidnapping to carry
note to Jafsie.
Officials of the department Of JUS
tice announced that Hauptmann's hand
writing tailed with that of ransom
notes sent by the kidnapers.
Police Commissioner John E. O'Ryan,
who made the official announcement
Of the developments Jointly for New
York and New Jersey authorities as
well as for the federal Department OF
%hof HonnfmQnn AL
mitted under severe questioning that
he had been employed as carpenter
near the Lindbergh home at HopewelL
O'Ryan also asserted that police had
established that Hauptmann had mad
access to the lumber yard in which
lumber was found bearing peculiar
mark, similar to that found on the
ladder left at the scene Of the kidnap-
ing. Hauptmann, he added, is in this
country illegally. He is married and
has ten-year-old son.
Colonel and Mrs Lindbergh, who
were in Los Angeles, were said to have
known in advance that the arrest was
expected. They secluded themselves
and would say nothing for publication.
FEDERAL JUDGE w. CALVIN
T. CHESTNUT of Baltimore handed
down an opinion holding that the farm
moratorium amendment to the federal
bankruptcy act passed by congress
last June is unconstitutional. This
amendment, known as the Frazier
Lemke law, authorizes debt-ridden
farmers to go into federal courts
and reduce their obligations. The
Judge held that it violates the rights
Of creditors as outlined in the
fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition and that it seeks to supersede
the rights Of state courts.
The court pointed out that each
state has laws to protect both the
creditor and the debtor. The Frazier
Lemke act, it was stated, wiped away
the safeguards for creditors and
amounted to confscation of property.

ways been without an organized flu
lures market. But it has one now,
for the New York Tobacco Exchange,
Inc, on Broad street, has opened for
business after two years of prelimi-

The contract basis Is United States

There are nine types and numerous
grades deliverable under specified diff
ferentials under the form of contract
that has been adopted. The unit of
trading is 10000 pounds and quota
tions are in cents and five one-hun-
dredths of cent per pound. Delivery

at Norfolk and Newport News, Va,

NEW YORK'S city assembly has

DREMIER MUSSOLINI repeatedly
asserts that Italy wants no more
war, but he is taking no chances. In
an order designed to make Italy an
EARNED nation" his cabinet has direct
ed that all males above the age of eight
and below thirty-three, shall receive
military training.
At the same time 1t was revealed
that Italy's' farming industry will be
brought into strong national organiza-
ton under the cooperative state sys-
TEN, to be inaugurated November 10.
The working class will be welded to-
gether in one group and the owner
manager class in another. The two
classes will be united in the central
corporations.
Two major national co-ordinating
rate groups. These are the Fascist
Confederation of Agriculturists, for the
owner-managers, and the Fascist Con-
federation of Agricultural Workers.
If Italy does have war in the near
future, it is likely to be with Jugo-
slavia. Just now the two nations are
quarreling bitterly. Mussolini is espe-
cially vexed because Jugoslavia is har-
boring $500 Austrian Nazis close to
the border and not curbing their plans

Aged Woman Dies In
Squalor With $4,000

PHILADELPHIA, Pa (CNS)
With $50, 900 tucked away in banks
and secret places, Miss Mary Cou-
sins died in squalor last Monday.
Her house had no electric lights;
sanitary facilities in the modern
idiom were still foreign to her, and
the thousand conveniences which
her money could have bought, she
denied herself.
These facts were brought out
when the 6s-year-old colored wo-
man, who had been a virtual re-
cluse for years, dropped dead in
her home at 500 South Fifteenth
Street. She was buried with brief
and solemn rites from her homo

Hardest Hit in New York CITY

NEW YORK-A graduate of the
Julliard School of Music forced to
wash pots and pans, other music
teachers getting as little as 25c

Their to the West Indies and the

conditions under which the Negro

EDITORIAL


THERE ARE THOSE who dur
ing the last week criticized severe
y thirty Howard University stu
dents who made q demonstration
against i'm crow IN the Capitol
restaurants.
The boys were termed radicals.
And weakened. soft-hearted con-
servatives at the university debat-
ed mesns Of discIplining the young
sters.
II radicals is the worst name
that can be fond for these stu
dents. Howard University should
consider Dlat compliment
THE WORD RADICAL is deriv-
ed from the Greek word meaning
root. A real radical goes to the
root OF the thing.
The radicals have always been
the beacon lights Of history. They
came from the high, they came
from the low. Look at the Decla-
ration Of independence. and you
win see an illustrious roll Of radi-
Gals n that immortal scroll.
The greatest radical Of all was
born il 8 manger and crucified be-
tween two thieves.
IF THERE rs anything at all in
the Darwinian theory Of the orr
gin of the species. then the first
monkey who slid down the trunk
Of tree was the first radical; and
why? Because he upset the es-
tablished and ordained order Of
things. The conservative monkeys
looked at him and shrielsed at him
from the tree tops The tail hold
that was good enough for their
fathers was good enough for them.

anarchist, and a fool, but the radi-
cal monkey lifted up his face in
hope to heaven. stood erect and
walked, and in the lapse Of ages
the radical became a man and the
conservative has remained mon
key.
WHAT MAKES Howard Univer-
sity students crooks and hoodlums
is that they decline to eat in the
cellar of the Capitol when other
American citizens eat in the House
restaurant.
Howard could wen afford to trade
its fearful and nervous faculty
members for an equal number of
radical students without any loss
to the university. And the sooner
this could be done, the better.
