BUREAU
STARTS MOVE
TONEWHOME

Work of transferring the De-
partment of Labor with its dozen
boards and bureaus to it's new
home at Constitution Avenue and
Fourteenth Street Northwest got
under way in earnest today with
the arrival of the first of SIS car
loads of nice, new Walnut-finlshed
office furniture.
New buildings evidently call for
new furniture, and the depart.
ment's present stock is destined
to be turned over to the Treasury
Departments Procurement Divi-
sion for salvage.
The moving process will require
about three weeks, and it is now
expected that the official house
warming will take place about
January Is.
1850 Workers to Move
From their present sites in sew
eral separate buildings will be
gathered under one roof, the 1850
workers of all the Labor affiliates.
These are the U. S. Employment
Service, the Children's Bureau,
the Women'S Bureau, the U. S.
Cancellation Service. the Immi.
grafton and Naturalization Serv-
ice, the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics, the Housing Corporation, the
Textile Labor Relations Board,
the National Steel Labor Relations
Board, and the National Labor
Relations Board.
The Labor edifice, conceived
and planned under the Hoover
administration, has been slightly
less than four years in construc.
ton and cost about $4,000,000. Its
foundations are of granite super
imposed on concrete piles. Exte-
rior walls are limestone and the
roof is of quarry-tile.
Marble Used Inside
Tennessee pink" marble was
used for the interior corridor and
room borders and "McMullen
gray" Tennessee marble forms the
bases. Lower floor corridors are
composed of "terrazzo" or ground
marble chips. Upper corridors are
paved with quarry-tile. All office
floors are surfaced with cork COM
position on tiles.
Secretary Perkins office and
suite takes its rightful place in
the company of the headquarters
Of other New Deal chieftains. The
rooms are paneled Throughout
with oak and birch and have
hardwood floors.
Not to be outdone by the Post
Office Department. the suite
boasts a bath complete with a
glass-inclosed shower.
The building is seven stories
high and has attic and basement,
giving a floor area of more than
100000 square feet. A private ga
rage is located beneath the sur.
face of the interior court. En-.
trance to the garage is by means
of ramp and subway leading to
Fourteenth Street.

This is the eighth OF series
OF articles discussing evidence
1Ohich wiu be delued into at the
trial merit month OF Bruno Rich
ard HauptmGnn.
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN
Copyright, 1884, by International News

PENNINGTON. N. j., Dec. 10
UN.SO.-A ladder, tiny gun
owned by Hauptmann, ransom
money, road maps, chisel, nails,
a German English dictionary and
specimens of the defendants
handwriting, will play an impor-
tant part in the impending trial
of Bruno Richard Hauptmann
for the murder of the LindberSh
baby.
Perhaps the most specific evil
cence against the defendant is
the ransom money. That is hard
to refute and the prisoner admits
he had it.
When the police raided the
Hauptmann home in the Bronx,
New York city, at the time of
the defendants arrest they found
$13,750 in Lindbergh ransom bills
Secreted in the suspects garage.
More Cash Found
"You won't find any more
money" Hauptmann told the
authorities.
But they went back and found
$840 more cleverly concealed IN
holes bored in a plank in the
garage. A small automatic pistol
was found hidden in one of the
holes.
The tiny gun may play a sig
nificant part in the trial-and
again it may not. 1t will be i'm
portant if the State claims that
Baby Lindbergh was shot.
Friend Sold Gun
At the autopsy it was found
that the child had suffered a
wound on the head, as if he had
been struck by blunt instru-
ment. Nothing was said in the
medical examiners report, how
ever. of a bullet wound.
Hauptmann said he purchased
the gun from a friend but de.
clined to reveal this mans name.
Later, Hans Meuller, cousin of
Hauptmann's said in an interview
that it was he who sold the gun
to the Lindbergh case suspect.
Hauptmann would not agree
that the tiny pistol was the type
of "Kamerad" gun said to have
been in use by the Germans dur
ing the war-a small gun that
could be concealed in the palm
when, a prisoner was ordered to
throw up his hands. Hauptmann
was a German machine gunner
during the war.
Ladder Traced
The kidnap ladder will be an
important exhibit. Lumber from
hich the ladder was made is
declared to have been traced to
the Great National Millwork and
Lumber Company, in the Bronx.
Hauptmann not only worked at
this place for a time but also
made small purchases there.
Although he was a carpenter
for nine or ten years, Hauptmann
claims he never built a ladder.
What part the chisel will play
at the trial remains to be seen.
Investigators have been trying to
trace the chisel, which was used
to pry open the window of the
nursery at the Lindbergh home, to
Bronx hardware store where
Hauptmann made purchases.
Tomorrow: Mr.. Kilgallen will
discuss Hauptmann's criminal

efforts are especially conspicuous
in the United States where so
many mothers let nature take her
course with the children.
In thinking the subject over, I
believe I've never known a woman
who dotted on her dog who did not
possess all the finest qualifications
for neutrality-suspicious.. sanity,
common sense and a profound
sense Of responsibility for the
welfare Of her charge.
A tremendous lot Of education
al effort is going to the dogs, and
what a pity that is, In a country
whose crime rate among young
people tops that of any civilized
nation on the globe.

THIS column often has invited
Il the vituperation Of dog own
ers by what was meant to be only
a sincere analysis Of mans fond
ness for that animal. In certain
places. the disapproval assumed
storm-cloud proportions.
Nov, after more observation,
during which the case for the dog
has been told and retold by those
who adore him, I am prepared to
make an announcement to Amer
lean mothers.
If We we're half as concerned
about our children as these
people are about their dogs, We
could improve Our progeny from
25 to 80 per cent. To be exact:
Although the task is less arduous
and constant. the woman who
babies a dog does a much better
Job than many who baby babies.
She sees to it that Fido gets his
daily outing and recreation, the
right food. the proper ventila-
ton: that he IS obedient. well be-
haved, and does not annoy guests.
Lastly, she demands from him
due care for household furnish
ings.
He is taught good manners and
sound canine morals, as well as a
sense Of thankfulneSs for favors
bestowed upon him. Men and
women would never have become
so attached to dogs in the first
place If those animals had not
possessed the virtue of gratitude
which, mark you well, can be bred
in children.
Pets are more amenable, of
course, but there is something
both remarkable and pathetic in
the way so many of us are intent
upon bringing up not merely good,
but sIper-excellent dogs. These

Proved Merit During Depression,

Newspaper advertising has proved
its merit during the depression
years in the opinion Of Charles C.
Peek, indianapolis jeweler.
Mr.. Peek, III announcing arrange
ments for a sale to be known as a
store Wide Jewelry Release" said
that his firm would devote more Of
its advertising appropriation to this
medium.
The firm recently moved from its
location on the third floor of the
Occidental Building, 9 S. Illinois-st,
to new quarters on the main floor
OF the same structure. The store
will remain open every evening until
Christmas, Mr.. Peek announced.

When the solemn procession returned to the
City of Gold, the Queen ordered Tomos on pain OF
death to find Doria, who had mysteriously escaped
her fate as victim OF the fiery volcano. Then she
commanded that Tarzan accompany her to her
private apartments in the palace.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-17

As they entered the familiar ivory room, the
Queen looked l~ongingly at Tarzan and said gently:
There will be no one to disturb us now" The
ape-man fixed his eyes upon her. 1t seemed in
credible that this lovely woman could be the tyrant
that was Nemone, the Queen.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-17

In her glorious eyes smoldered a dreamy light
that exercised a strange hypnotic influence on the
ape-man. Touch me, Tarzan," she whispered
softly. AS she drew near him, Belthar, the royal
lion, roared from his corner. 1t was a growl of
anger, and of warning.

EMPLOYMENT SECURITY

-Four bitter years of business stagnaton and
ragged men walking the streets looking for work
have effected a transformation in the public and
political attitude on one of the greatest social
problems of the day-security for the laborer.
Recent political Incidents indicate that unem-
poyment insurance will be non-partisan issue
during the next few years Unemployment insur-
ance is advocated by it's sponsors a substitute
for the thinly-veed "dole'' which was forced on
the country by the absence of more far-seeing leg
islation and careful planning in the the past
Even though the generosity Of the government
and private charity has met emergency relief
needs, the present system has so many inadequa-
cies and such inherent possibilities of waste that
some form of insurance is necessary if we are to
avoid duplication OF existing conditions in years
to come.

ONE RAIL LINE

Tentative plans for the consolidation of the rail
lines Of the northwest in the hands of j.
B. Eastman, railroad co-ordinator for the federal
government. 1t is doubtful if these plans will be
adopted in their entirety policy by the govern
ment, but they interesting, in that they point
way to the reduction of duplicated rail facilities in
this section of the country.
Briefly, the plan would abandon about 1000
miles of main line with operating accessories in
cident thereto, or would reduce this mileage to
the status of branch lines, operated only at such
times when there is freight to be handled, which
would be only three or four months year.
One of the surprising features of the plan is that
the Milwaukee railroad would be chosen to handle
all main line traffic. 1t has usually been supposed
in this state that the Great Northern, with it's
lower gradient, would be the most feasible for the
main line. The Milwaukee crosses the Cascades at
the highest gradient of the three roads.
The advantages of the Milwaukee are given as
626 miles Of electrified trackage which more than
compensates for gradient and maintenance dis
advantages and which, through the abundance of
OF hydro-eectric power, can double several times
it's transportation output without increasing it's
overhead.
