By the Associated Press.
Huge profits ranging as high as
1862 per cent to manufacturers of war
materials during the World War were
disclosed today to the Senate NUM-
tions Committee.
This was developed shortly after
President Roosevelt had suggested
close cooperation between his group
to formulate legislation to take the
profits out of war and the Senate
Investigators.
This apparently lessened the irrita-
tion displayed by committee members
yesterday because the President had
gone ahead before they had completed
their inquiry.
Investigators placed before the COM
mittee figures from the Internal Rev
enue Bureau showing profits for scores
of companies ran from 20 per cent
OF invested capital to 1862 per cent.

that In many cases the profits were
made on cost plus contracts and that

to the companies by the Government
to finance their production.

ard Hauptmann, Lindbergh kidnap-
Staying suspect, but directed the State
to fulfill the defense demand for the
prosecution theory on how young
Charles A. Lindbergh. jr., met his
death.
In an hour-long hearing in the
presence of the defendant Haupt-
mann. the justice told the State that
five days after the service Of q de-
fense request it must supply all the
information it can with reasonable
certainty" give on its theory of the
cause of the young child's death.
The court Declined TO order the
State to specify whether it would
proceed against Hauptmann on the
theory that he murdered the child
with premeditation, or whether II
would contend that the baby was
killed In the commission of a felony
He likewise refused a request to
have the prosecution state whether
1t would proceed against Hauptmann
as q criminal who perpetrated the
crime single handed. or as the mem

Notes Imp0unding Denied.
The defense met further reversal in
its efforts to have Trenchard order

the notes were written by Hauptmann.
In refusing this request Trenchard
said he thought that Attorney General

forces in the Hauptmann case, would
on application grant defense attorneys
permission to examine the notes as
much as necessary.
Defense requests for information
whether the State contended all the

chant Heidi abor
Trouble Blamed.

Two men were under arrest today
charged with assault with intent to
kill in connection with the poisoning
of products of the Dutch Baker Boy,
Inc, as an outgrowth of what police
described as labor difficulties.
The arrests followed a secret FIVE
day investigation by three detectives,
assigned to the case after a driver
for the Dutch Baker Boy had re-
ported his truck had been followed
by two men who had saturated bread
and pies left in doorways with q
strong acid solution.
Employees of Bakery.
The two men under arrest-John
Leonard Dorsch, %, of 1918 Kalorama
road, and James Carlin Merchant, 81,
Of ITO Trinidad avenue northeast
were said by police to be employees of
the Peter M. Dorsch Bakery. John
Leonard Dorsch is nephew Of the
bakery proprietor, police said.
Peter Dorsch has no knowledge of
the alleged poison attempts, police
said.
They claimed the trouble was
based entirely on labor difficulties.
The Dutch Baker Boy is a non-union
bakery and recently was called be-
fore the District N. r. A. Compliance
Board and found guilty Of violating
labor provisions in the bakers code.
The chief violation was said to be
firing men who had joined the union.
Both of the men arrested are men,
bers of the Bakers Union, according
to officials of that organization.
First Report Saturday.
The first report to police of any
difficulty was made last Saturday by
Forrest o. Dowell, 16 New York ave-
nue. northeast, a driver for the Dutch
Baker Boy.
He said that that morning his
truck had been followed by an auto
mobile containing two men. He was
delivering two loaves of bread in the
1900 block D street northeast when
he first noticed the car, he told
police. He kept his eye on them and
after he had left the bread in the
doorway. he saw one Of the men get
out of the car and go into the door
way he had just left.
To make sure there really was
something wrong, he said, he went to
his next stop, in the 500 block of
Twelfth street northeast. The car was
still behind him, he asserted, and
after he had left pie and a loaf of
bread at this particular house he
said a man left the car and went up
to the door.
Took Numbers Of Tag.
Dowell said he took the tag number
of the car which had been following
him and after he had evaded it went
back to the homes on d and Twelfth
streets and recovered the bread and
pie, substituting fresh articles in their
place
Chemists found a strong concen-
trate Of powerful acid in both loaves
which had been left on D street and
in the pie left on the doorstep on
Twelfth street.
Capt. Bernard w. Thompson as
signed Detective Sergts. Leo Murray,
H. Z Brodie and l.. M. Wilson to de-
vote their time exclusively to in
vestigating Dowell's report. The tag
number reported by the driver was
looked up and found to be registered
in the name of young Dorsch and
after five days of Investigation Dorsch
and Merchant were taken in custody
this morning.
The District chemist who analyzed
the samples for police reported that

 To make 1t short, it developed that Runyon had just finished number of short stories. When he learned that Lee was coming to filmland, he suggested: Since you're going out there anyway, maybe you could get rid of one or two of them for pictures"

 And Runyons stories now sell to the studios for as high as $25,000 apiece.
