the Association sent a committee to confer with salmon buyers on the matter of how soon they would resume purchasing if the offer was accepted. According to MT. Harris, only a few of the buy CTS agreed to begin immediately even in that case.
 Not Discouraged
 After the meeting Capt. Wealth CTS expressed himself as not at all discouraged at the reception given the plan here, and said that he was confident that after he had come back from outlying fishing towns, where many haven't got enough money to buy food or gas- oline for their boats", the attitude might be entirely different.
 A delegation from Juneau plans to leave the latter part of this week to organize these fishermen, and will use the Ace for transpor- tation.

In spite of favorable comment expressed by fishermen previous to the meeting last night in the City Council Chambers, few ap- peared to take part in the organiz- ation of the new "Trollers' Pro- tectove Association" sponsored by Capt. Al Weathers of the gasboat Ace.
 The purpose of the proposed or ganization, according to Capt Weathers, is to enable fishermen to operate without being bound by the stringent regulations of the Alaska Trollers' Association, which at the present time has nearly 100 per cent control over salmon fishermen of Southeast Alaska With his associates, Capt. Wealth CTS plans to organize a union which will fish when there are fish to be caught"

NEW MILK DEAL|FLOYD ELUDES
PLEDGED HERE FEDERAL HUNT

Calling for a Showdown" be,
tween the Washington Consumers
Council and the Maryland-Vir
GINA Milk Producers Association
Mrs. John Boyle. jr., chairman OF
the council. today stated that
her organization would attempt to
force the association to show
some consideration to the con
sumers as far as price was con
cerned."
Milk Becoming Luxury
Mrs. Boyle charged that the
association and diaries are en-
gagged in unfair practices" which
drive the price of milk up
Among these, she said, is the dis
tribution of containers to Gus
toners, the cost of which is added
to the milk. and the disposal OF
bottles. which she said the
diaries throw away" She said:
"The consumers are not going
to be ignored. There will have
to be a change in the policy of
marketing dairy products in this
city. The price Of milk is now
SO high that it is becoming .
luxury"
Following a series of meeting
with farmers, Mrs. Boyle devel
oped the following platform fol-
the Consumers Council on the
local milk question:
Cooperation With Farmer
"That the interests of the con-
sumner and producer are iden-
teal, and that it is no part of
the program of the Consumers
Council to damage the interests
of the farmer.
"That individual producers
and the Consumers Council are
dissatisfied with the policy and
methods of the Maryland-Vir-
ginia Milk Producers ASSOcia-
ton and will jointly endeavOr
to force a change.
"That when this is done the
producers and the Consumers
Council will jointly demand a
change in the marketing Of milk
as it is being done at present
/ by the distributors"

completed.

TEST|F|ES To
KEEP GLORIA
PaternaI Aunt of Vanderbilt
Child Shows Effect of
Her Recent Illness

NEW YORK, Oct. % G.N.SO.
Behind the closed doors of Justice
John F.. Carew's supreme court,
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney went
on the witness stand today to tell
why she wants to take 10-year old
Gloria Vanderbilt from her young
mother, Mrs. Gloria Morgan
Vanderbilt.
Her appearance-protected with
heavy silk muffler after a laryn-
gifts attack last week-marked the
beginning of the end of the tens
of thousands of words uttered by
doctors, servants and keyhole-
peppers against the beautiful
widow of Reginald c. Vanderbilt.
Custody a Prize
With the permanent custody of
little Gloria and her millions as
the prize, Mrs. Whitney, her
paternal aunt, was to tell why she
considered Mrs. Vanderbilt an un-
fit mother.
Recovered after a slight heart
attack, in addition to the laryn-
gifts, Mrs. Whitney made her ap-
pearance as a witness in a black
velvet gown, black coat trimmed
luxuriously with silver fox and a
small black hat with a brim. She
was accompanied by her daughter,
Mrs. G. MacCulloch Miller.
Mrs. Vanderbilt arrived to hear
the evidence against her with
her loyal sisters, Consuelo (Mrs'
Benjamin Thaw) and Thelma
LADY Furness). Her brother,
Harry Hays Morgan, and Prince
Gottfried Zu Hohenlohe und
Langenburg, her former fiance,
and his wife, Princess Margareta
of Greece.
Will Attack Character
Nathan Burkan, counsel for
Mrs. Vanderbilt, has already in
dicated he will make a searching
cross-examination of Mrs. Whit
ney's testimony, subjecting her
character to the same attack
made on Mrs. Vanderbilt's.
With this procedure in view, 1t
is believed Mrs. Whitney will be
on the witness stand most of the
week, thus putting off summon
ing of witnesses in the Wander
bilt defense until next week.
AS the hearing was resumed
police paid only slight attention
to the death threat made against
the child. They considered it the
work of a crank.

Administration of Washington,
the question of color of facing
brick to be used in construction
of the new Alexandria High
School building will be decided by
the Fine Arts Commission of Vir'

A controversy arose after the
signing of a contract for red brick
between Alexandria city council
and the Virginia State Architect,
Raymond Long. Mr.. Long said
red brick would ruin the artistic
effect of the building, and re-
fused to approve it. He was
backed by Col. A. Anderson, State
engineer of PWA works in Vlr,

Jury May Inspect kidnapping
Scene Suspect Will Not
View HopeWeII Home

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. %
GN.S).-Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann will not be taken to the
scene of the kidnapping of the
Lindbergh baby, Attorney General
David T. Wilentz declared today
while discussing plans for the
trial of the tight-lipped prisoner
who is now in Jail at Pennington.
Whether the jury will be taken
to the scene of the crime will de-
pend upon the attitude of PreSld-
ing Justice Thomas w. Trenchard,
he added.
Wilentz said the time of ar
raignment of Hauptmann would
be decided today by Justice
Trenchard.
Case Seen Complete
Attorney General Wilentz and
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
head of the New Jersey State po-
lice, conferred with the press this
morning in the formers office IN
the Statehouse.
Wilentz said the prosecution
had no intention of calling John
Hughes Curtiss, Norfolk (VaO
shipbuilder, as a witness at the
trial. Curtiss was the man who
perpetrated hoax on Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, leading him
to believe at one time he had con-
tacted the kidnapers of the baby.
Asked if the States case against
Hauptmann was complete, Wllentz
replied:
Eyes"
Reporters asked Wilentz why
Hauptmann had been refused
reading matter, such as books.
The attorney general said THIS
was up to Sheriff John Curtis, of
Hunterdon county. He added:
Colonel Schwarzkopf and I
see no reason why Hauptmann
cannot be afforded proper read
ing matter. In the Bronx
county Jail he was allowed only
o few books. As far as we are
concerned, he will be allowed
much more liberty in this re-
spect than he has had"
PROBATION URGED
The attorney general said that
If reading matter is permitted
Hauptmann, precautions will be
taken so that he does not get
material with sharp edges, such
as magazines. No chance will be
taken on the prisoner trying to
commit suicide.
No steps have yet been taken
on the matter of possible
change of venue, Wilentz made
clear.
He was asked if Attorney
James M. Fawcett, of the de-
Tense, had made such a request
and his reply was No Wilentz
cid not expect to take the initia-
tive in this respect.
The Hunterdon county court
house at Pennington is small and
Anticipated and provisions for
handling the scores of newspaper
men who will cover" the trial
are extremely poor.
Wilentz said he could not see
how the ends of justice would be
served by allowing one or two
newspaper men to interview
Hauptmann in the Jail for the
entire press. Such a procedure,
he thought, would be "a trav-
esty." He added that no arrange
ments had been made for the
taking of pictures of Hauptmann
in his cell.
The attorney general stated
that the New York and the New
Jersey police are still working
on leads" This fact. he ex-
planned, was not inconsistent with
his statement that New Jersey
feels that it's case against Haupt,
mann is complete.

LOTTERY MAIL
PROBE PUSHED
International News Service

The practice of operators of
racing sweepstakes, who have
been smuggling thousands of en-
velopes into this country and
distributing them through the
Postal Service, is being investi-
gated by the department, the
Post Office announced today.
These attempts to use the mail
to DISPOSE of lottery tickets came
to the departments attention
through the dumping of thou
sands of such envelopes in New
York City Post Office boxes and
it is also claimed such practice
is in operation in other cities
along the Canadian border. The
department said:
Information has been laid
before postal officials to the
effect but II per cent of the
winning ticket holders on the
Canadian Sweepstakes, held
last month, resided outside the
United States. This is taken to
mean perhaps SO per cent of
the total subscription to this
event was obtained from pa
irons in this country, a vast
majority Of which was secured
through the illegal use OF the
United States mails"
