terday devoted several hours to
an intensive study of NRA reor-
ganization, a problem that will re-
quire much of his time in the next
few months.
The Chief Executive in his COM
Portable cubby-hole office at the
summer White House reviewed re-
ports and recommendations from
Washington. There was, however,
no official cognizance taken of the
reports that General Hugh john
son, recovery administrator, was
out or about to relinquish his high
command in the New Deal.
In some sources close to the
administration there was the dis

son was concerned no decision had
been reached as to what role he
would be asked to assume under
a permanent and revised recovery
program. =.
Friends nevertheless, were OF
the opinion that while the recov.
cry program had progressed we'll

WILL RECALL
Won PAPEN
Hitler Said to Feel Aus
trian Attitude Makes
Mission Futile

VIENNA, Sept. 24.-(UP).-
The mission of Col. Franz Won
Papen as extraordinary envoy to
Austria will end shortly, presum-
ably with his formal withdrawal,
the United Press learned in quail
fed quarters last night.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler was
said to consider it useless to keep
Won Papan in Vienna as long as
the Austrian regime shows no de-
sire to meet the Germans on their
own terms.
Developments at Geneva fur
Their have convinced the Germans
that it will be impossible to reach
an understanding with Austria as
long as Vienna is angling for help
from the powers. Observers gen.
orally believe the Geneva negotia-
tons eventually will lead to some
sort of pact guaranteeing Austrian
independence and promoting a
trade exchange between the Dan
ubian states.
1t appears that Austria now
wants, firstly, an international
agreement in which the powers,
including Germany if possible,
agree to guaranteeing Austria's
independence; and secondly, ex-
tension and enlargement of the
Rome commercial accords, grant:
ing Austria further preferential
treatment.
There was little hope, however,
that Germany would join an agree
ment such as outlined in the first
of these aims, desiring rather an
"anschluss" with Vienna, uniting
the two Germanic peoples.
Won Papen was sent to Vienna
last summer, following the July
rs putsch, to restore friendly re.
lations with Austria, suspicious OF
Berlin's alleged role in the Nazi
uprising here. He resigned as vice.
chancellor to take the post.

Federal operatives sought an
answer to the fact that Is Of
the ransom bills, turned up be-

that there had been fight

more definite word from New

officials felt that New York will
try Hauptmann first for extor-
ton. that there is not sufficient
evidence as yet to try him on a
charge of kidnapping and muir
dering the baby. The extortion in
the case occurred in New YORK
and the kidnapping and murder
in New Jersey.
Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf,
head of the New Jersey state
police. said the state has a good
case against Hauptmann but he
said no immediate move toward
extradition will be made. David
T. Wilentz. state attorney gen.
eral. said there could be no ex-

unless he ordered it, and he had
not ordered it.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a (UP)
Federal authorities today indi-

showing signs of weakening in his
steadfast denials of all knowledge
of the Lindbergh abduction and
collection of $4,000 ransom.

are imminent.

!. NEW YORK, Sept. "a. (UP).
The case of Bruno Hauptmann,
charged with extortion in the
Lindbergh case went before a
Bronx county grand jury today
while police and federal agents
sought to complete evidence link
ing the suspect with the kidnap
murder.
Hauptmann was taken, heavily
guarded, to District Attorney
Samuel Foley's office for further
questioning.
Meantime, Col. Chas. A. Lind
bergh and wife were flying from
the west to appear before a grand
jury here on Wednesday.
Working with more secrecy
than usual, members of Foley's
staff continued to question wit
nesses last night to marshal evil
dence. They revealed that Haupt-
mann's operations in the stock
market were increased on a large
scale Immediately after the $780,
600 in ransom had been paid to
a mysterious "John" in a Bronx
cemetery in 1882. The carpenter
played the stock market before
the kidnapping but not on any
such scale as he did afterward, it
was said.
Worn from long hours of ques-
tioning, Hauptmann was permit
ted to rest in Jail all day Sunday.
His wife, Mrs. Anna Haupt-
mann, visited the county building
during the day and sought to
furnish a belated alibi. She said
she had "just remembered" that
Hauptmann could not have been
the Lindbergh kidnaper because,
on the night of the abduction, he
was with her.
Police and jailers alike express

which the sullen German has stood
