CURTIS TESTIMONY.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PENNINGTON, N. j., December
29.-Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh are destined to relive, as wit
nesses in Bruno Richard Hauptmann's
trial, the ordeal of their first sons
kidnapping and death, but John Hughes
Curtis of Norfolk, Va, will probably
be denied a part in the drama.
Curtis, the shipbuilder, who once
was convicted of obstructing justice
for posing as a Lindbergh Inter
mediary," offered to testify against
Hauptmann. Prosecutors, apparently
intent on other aspects of their case
against the Lindbergh kidnap- Staying
suspect, were cool to his suggestion.
Though Curtis said he would swear
that he has talked to Hauptmann and
that the suspect showed him some
of the Lindbergh ransom money At
torney General David T. Wilentz
merely vouchsafed that the matter
was under advisement" From an
official source came a definite pre-
diction that Curtis offer would be
"hatly rejected"
Lindbergh Revisits Sorrow House.
Col Lindbergh, for the first time
in more than two years. went sor-
rowfully back yesterday to the Hope
well mansion where Charles A. Lind
bergh, jr, was stolen.
With four prosecuting officials at his
heels, he paced through the empty
rooms. telling calmly of the things
he said and did on the wintry night
of March /, 1882, when the baby
was taken from his crib to death.
Patiently answering questions. in
order to provide the prosecutors with
a clear picture of the crime. he led
them to the room where the baby
lay, to the window where the kid
naper left a ransom note and finally
to the living room where the father
sat reading, unaware of the ugly
crime.
Rushed Out With Rifle.
The aviator told how Betty Cow,
the child's Scotch nursemaid, cried
out the news Of the tragedy and how,
carrying a rife, he rushed outdoors
and peered vainly into the blackness
Of Sourland Mountain night. After
the finding of. the childs body, three
months later, the Lindberghs left the
house and went to live with Mrs.
Lindbergh's mother, Mrs. Dwight w.
Morrow, in Englewood.
The roles which the aviator and
his wife will play in Hauptmann's
trial appear to be definitely fixed by
the developments. Official sources
again made it clear that members
of the household, including Miss Cow,
will be questioned only to establish
the time, place and circumstances
of the crime
1t was thus disclosed that Mrs.
Lindbergh will be a witness. One
official said she would testify will
ingly" and asserted it was only nat
ural, her child having been kidnapped"
that she would want to tell what she
knows of the case.

Designation as a criminal offense
any attempt to escape from the Gus

vided for in bill sent to Capitol Hill

The measure was the first Of sew
eral proposed new anti-crime bills
under consideration by the Justice
Department.
Under present law it Is a Federal
crime for a prisoner to escape after
he has been convicted, and several
States have escape from custody"
penalties. Cummings believes inclu-
sion of this in Federal statutes will
give one more weapon to his agents

FACTORY SPEED-UP.
ASKEDbY WALLACE.
Says 80 Per Cent of 1929
Output Needed to Bring
About Recovery.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 29.-The ex-
tent of the Nations 1885 economic
improvement. Secretary Wallace said
last night, depends upon industry and
its policies.
Addressing the American Statistical
Association, he asserted that agricul-
ture Is interested because maximum
progress In price raising has been at
tanned through reducing supplies. He
added:
ANY further increase in agricul-
tural income, we believe, depends pri-
marily upon q substantial increase in
industrial production, which in turn
means higher consumer purchasing
power and greater national income"
Asks 80 Per Cent Output.
If industry would produce within 80
per cent of its 1929 level, as agricul-
ture will do next year, Wallace said,
Then not only agricultural prices and
income will improve, but industry it
self. and the whole people, will bene-
fit."
Industry Is far from the "satisfac-
tory" goal in production, which he de-
clared to be about 325 per cent of the
level Of 1900. Recovery efforts of the
past two years have brought it up to
about 205 per cent and to regain the
volume necessary a so per cent in
crease In industrial production Is nec-
eSsary.
Until such an expansion takes
place, there will continue to be q dis
parity between agricultural and in
dustrial prices" he said.
Suggests Lower Prices.
He suggested that industries stimu-
late buying and production by lowering
prices. Possibly the only way for
many industries to make a profit in
1895 will be by lowering their prices
in order to increase their sales, thus
reducing their overhead costs per
unit" he said.
Some business leaders contend that
this is the only sound prescription for
agricultural recovery, though they
seem loath to apply it to industry.
The truth Is that though agriculture
took that medicine up to 1888 in
heavy doses, the prescription is not
as 1t Is to industry. For industrial
products. unlike agricultural products,
gross returns tend to be greater for
larger volumes than for restricted
volumes"

Just what point he made ar
