Instead of abating, Sheriff John H.

quests for seats at the trial Of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann is rising.
However, there will be many disap-
pointed the sheriff said. when the eX-
German machine gunner comes to
trial next month on an indictment
charging murder of the Lindbergh
baby. The court room is fairly small
and after arrangements have been
made for seating the press there will
be room for only about $50 spectators.
A number of prominent magazine
writer's have asked for seats. the sheriff
said. and at least one judge. R, H. Muir
ray of Halifax, Nova Scotia, would
like to attend.
Until the jury has been selected
and Sheriff Curtiss thinks his task
will take up most of the first week of
the trial-the entire panel of $50 men
and women will be seated in the court,
thus further reducing the available
seating space for the merely curious.
In order to relieve the crush which
would result from bringing in all of
its witnesses daily from the beginning
the State expects to "stagger" them,
calling only those whose testimony will
be necessary as the trial progresses.

TIGHT GRIP URGED
ON RESERVE BANKS
Administration May Ask
More Control to Assure
Ease in Loans.

The conviction has spread through
most of the administration that the
Government should seek from the
coming Congress suficient control of
the Federal Reserve system to assure
that the Government borrowing and
refinancing program will meet no
obstruction.
Although no final word on the sub
ject has come from President Roose-
welt with whom the decision rests,
the Senate Banking Committee. ap-
parently at the instigation of the ad-
ministration. soon will begin a study
OF the changes in Federal Reserve law
which would be necessary TO give such
assurance.
Few Changes Believed Needed.
Experts within the administration
are reported to believe comparatively
few changes in the law would be
necessary Probably the most ir1por-
tant would be the inveStiture of the
Federal Reserve Board with the pow
er TO select the governors of the -
Federal Reserve Banks.
The prevailing opinion in the ad-
ministration appears TO be that a
somewhat firmer control over the
Federal Reserve system is the only
practicable alternative to the creation
of a central bank apart from or over
the Federal Reserve system. The de-
sire of the administration, as indi-
Gated by the President and other
officials in their talks with business
and financial leaders in recent
months, is to avoid banking and fiscal
legislation which would further un-
settle confidence"
