PENNINGTON, N. j., Oct. 20
G.N.SO.-Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann was a bit nervous and ir-
ritable in his cell here today
but he showed no signs of "crack-
ing" as New Jersey went forward
with its plans to bring him to
trial on the charge of having
murdered the Lindbergh baby.
After nine hours of sound
sleep in the Hunterdon county
jail, Hauptmann awakened at
II a. M, drank a cup of black
coffee and asked one of his
guards when he was going to be
brought to trial.
Nobody could answer that ques-
ton for him. Indications are,
however, that the trial will not
take place for about a month or
five weeks.
Allowed No Contact
Hauptmann is one of "A other
prisoners in the Jail. The Lind
bergh case suspect, however, was
allowed no contact-verbal or
otherwise-with the other pris.
onerS.
Sheriff John w. Curtis dropped
in at the Jail at II a. m. just as
Hauptmann was awakening. The
prisoner was offered the regular
jail breakfast of oatmeal. bread

SALE Of MILK

limited
Commissioner Allen Favors
Plan Which Has Been
Tried Out in N. Y.

Possibility that milk will be
made a public utility doomed to-
day with statement by Com
missioner George E. Allen that
he was considering such plan
to benefit the average consumer
in the District.
Commissioner Allen declared he
was inclined toward the idea of
making milk a public utility,
pointing out that the plan
seemed successful in New York.
Give All a Profit
The District head, who has
been negotiating with local
diaries and the Maryland-Virgini
Milk Producers Association to
obtain low-priced milk for fami-
lies on relief, said he would like
to give the average consumer the
benefit of reduced prices. He
said:
"The idea of making milk q
public utility is to give every
body . fair profit and give the
consumer . fair price"
Farmers. he pointed out, have
a large daily surplus of milk and
in addition can increase their pro-
duction to meet any increase in
consumption which would follow
a reduction in retail prices. He
said:
"PeOpIe are throwing milk
away on the farms and are
feeding it to hogs, and we're
paying Is cents a quart for it
in the District. I don't know
what is wrong but there is some.
thing radically wrong"
HE CONSIDERS IT
Commissioner Allen said he was
not committed to the public util-
ity plan, but that he has been Sc
riously considering it. A commits
sion form of control. he said,
would probably be advisable for
the District.
He disclosed that he has talked
about his plan to local dairy Of
ficials and officials of the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers AS
ISOLATION.
Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman
of the Washington Consumers
Council, has received production
cost estimates from a group of
large independent farmers. These
show, according to Mrs. Boyle,
that milk can be sold in Wash
ington at 10 cents a quart or less
and still give the farmers a fair
profit.

BRAIN TRUST
CRITICIZED BY
PRESIDENT
Decries Specialization Trend
In Address at William and
Mary Ceremony
By EARL GOODWIN

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Oct. 20.
Zowie! That crack which re-
sounded through Virginia today
was the crack President Roose-
welt gave his Brain Trust when
he told a scholarly audience at
the College of William and Mary
that there was too much special
knowledge and not enough broad
generalization.
The President reached far into
his experience with professors
and specialists since he has been
President and in his speech, fol-
lowing receipt of the honorary
degree of doctor of laws, de-
clared that this Government has
great need for young men and
women who have the broader
viewpoint.
Broad Thinkers Needed
While there is need for spe,
cialists in science and scholar
ship. he explained, there is a
greater need for those with the
non,specialized view. The Presi,
dent said:
Every form Of cooperative
human endeaVOr cries out for
men and women who, in their
thinking processes, will know
something Of the broader as
poets Of any given problem.
1o
men and women of this type,
people who have a nOn-SpeCial-
lied point Of view End who, at
the same time, have general,
extraordinarily comprehensive
knowledge, not of the details
but of the progress and purposes
which underlie the work of the
specialists themselves"
President Roosevelt traversed
what he called "the most historic
avenue in America" when he rode
the length of the Duke of Glou-
ceSter Street in this famous city,
now 301 years old and redolent
with the virile traditions of the
middle colonies.
Speech Skips Politics
This part of his Virginia tour
was in connection with the be-
slowing upon him of an homo
rary degree of doctor Of laws by
President John Stewart Bryan.
inaugurated president of the Col
lege of William and Mary today;
and also in attendance upon the
dedication of part OF the re-
markable restoration CT more
than $50 buildings here.
President Roosevelt paid no
attention to politics or events of
state in his speech following be-
Stowal of the degree, but delved
deep into Colonial history as he
talked to and about williamsburg
and the College of William and
Mary, which yields only to the
Presidents alma mater, Harvard,
in point of age. Yesterdays stern
rebuke to the Bonus Bloc was
forgotten today as he talked of
early America, subject in which
he himeslf is an expert.
Praises Restoration
John D. Rockefeller. jr., is
restoring Colonial Williamsburg,
putting CobbleStones and old
lamps in the Duke of Gloucester
Street, and just what is occur
ring can be cleaned from the
Presidents speech, when he said:
What a joy to see the Capt.
tOI, the governors palace, the
Raleigh Tavern born again, to
see 81 Colonial buildings re-
stored, IS Colonial buildings re-
built, the magnificent gardens
of Colonial days reconstructed.

D. T.. Heads Ask
Donations TO
Chest Fund

Citizens of the District today
were urged by the District Com
missioners to do their part in the
annual Community Chest drive
which started today.
A proclamation issued by the
Commissioners read:
Whereas, the practice Of
charity Is enjOined by all re.
IigiOns of our community, and
is part of our heritage from
ages past;
Whereas, it Is we'll known
that there are many human
needs of Washington and its
people which cannot be met by
public welfare activities through
lack of appropriation, and
through lack of legal authorize
tons;
Whereas, these additional con
tinuing needs require the assist
ance now as they have in the
past, and doubtless will in the
future, of generous citizens
through established charitable
and welfare organizations;
Whereas, the Community
Chest has demonstrated itself
as an economical and effective
method of financing some so
of these charitable and welfare
organizations, and, more than
that, has united all Of the citi-
zens of Washington in common
purpose and activity as nothing
else has done;
Whereas, the needs which
must be met by private phllan-
throEy in the year ahead are
quite evidently greater than
last year;
Now, therefore, we, the Com.
missioners of the District of
Columbia, heartily endorse the
Community Chest campaign
which will be held November
IL to FL, inclusive, and urge all
who live and work in Washing
ton and who are willing to
share what they have with
those in our community who
are less fortunate than they
are, to give to the utmost ex-
tent Of their ability and good
will to pledges made to the
Community Chest and payable
during the year 1885.
