that, legislation by congress would be
sought at the Forthcoming session so
that there will be enforcement Of this
economic reform, not to make less work
for those already employed but. to Gre
ate work opportunities for more people.
Resolutions as adopted provide for
no reduction in wages to result from
shorter work periods. Also resolutions
handing equal representation with en-
ployers on NRA boards and viewing
the crushing national debt with alarm
and misgivings" were adopted.
CONFERRING with the full mem
~ bership Of the new national indus
trial recovery board headed by s.
Clay Williams, President Roosevelt let
1t be known that he was far from salts
fed with NRA enforcement in the past
and asked the board to devise more
vigorous and effective methods.
Price-fxing and production control
were discussed hut not at length and
with the general understanding that,
although price-fxing policies of the
Johnson regime would be reversed On
paper, no sweeping action would be
taken to upset existing codes and any
action at all would come slowly.
. EMODELING of the NRA by the
IN new industrial recovery board
which has displaced General Johnson
Is under way. One of the boards first
official acts was to give a good job to
Kilbourne Johnston, son Of the retir-
ing administrator-thou he spells
his name differently. The young man,
who is an army lieutenant on leave,
was made acting divisional admins
traitor in charge Of manufacturing
codes.
Donald R. Richberg, director of the
CluCl SCuIy wiz
clashed repeatedly with Johnson when
he was active as chief counsel Of the

with smile.

head Of the national labor relations
board, announced his resignation and
said he would return to his post as
dean of the law school Of the Univer-

On behalf of the textile workers

the Presidents plan for an industrial
truce. He suggested a six-months'
armistice and promised that during
that period the union would permit
mo stoppage Of work" in protest
against any findings Of the textile or
national labor relations boards. At
the same time German warned that
renewal Of conflict was imminent
unless the peaceful methods suggested
by the executive could be brought into
swift and effective action"
ssTHE voice Of Hauptmann is the
i voice / heard in the cemetery
that night when the $4,000 ransom
was paid" said Col Charles A. Lind
bergh to the grand jury in Trenton, N.
J., after he had listened to the suspect
in the kidnapping and murder case. The
grand jury accepted this as clinching
testimony and returned an indictment
against Bruno Hauptmann, charging
murder.
The words "Hey doctor. Over here,
doctor" were spoken by the man who
got the ransom money from Lind
bergh's intermediary, DR.. John F. Con-
| don. They were spoken In the GENE
terry where the payment was made.
Lindbergh heard them and remembered
the voice.
Although the case is invariably re.
ferred to as the "Lindbergh kidnap.
ing" the grand jury returned no kid
nap indictment. Kidnapers may only
be sentenced to life terms. Murderers
face the electric chair.
The murder indictment may mean
the abandonment, for the time being
of the plans of Bronx county to try
Hauptmann on the extortion charge
In the event of an acquittal on the
charge in Trenton, he win be returned
| to New York.
