NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (1N.S).
An offer to apply the lie detector
test to Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann, accused Lindbergh Staying
suspect, was angrily rejected today
by James M. Fawcett, counsel for
Hauptmann.
The offer was made on behalf
Of Will am Moulton Marston, well
known IN criminologiSt circles for
his inv 'ntion of the lie detector.
Mr.. Fe Vcett said:
"I: n not having any tests Of

any psychOanalyst tests or any
other tests. 1 am more inter

and .paring them"
Mr. lwcett was then asked if

Many Prisons Found
Unsafe InU. Check

The Government pays for the
board of it's inmates and, in many
instances, the price is 81 a day
per prisoner.
There are at present 1898 Fed
eral prisoners held in State or
local institutions while 1854 are
in Government prisons.
The District Jail, in the opinion
of Mr.. Bates, is suitable for the
incarceration Of Federal prisoners.
Mr.. Bates stated very few prison
ers ever manage to get out of the
local penal institution and that
he considered it "Safe."
Mr.. Bates added that Lorton Re.
formatory is fit to house Federal
prisoners and that he had no
criticism to make of the building
with regard to its suitability to
housing hardened criminals.

Denver Watches
Radical AgitatOrs

DENVER, Nov. l 0.N.S0.
Rumors that agitators responsible
for the strike movement among
FERA and CWA workers had
shifted their activities to sur
rounding counties to prepare for
a concerted march on Denver
relief projects kept police on the
alert today.
Police details secured the city
yesterday in a vain attempt to
locate meeting places of radicals
believed responsible for the
bloody riots. A force of more
than 800 patrolmen guarded
workers on the relief projects.

DEMOCRATS

Administration, However, Will
Retain Seasoned Leaders
in Next Congress
Rx EARL GOODWIN

The next House of Represen-
tatives is now being made up in
a series Of fights. many Of which
have no relation to the New Deal.
The Democrats say for publi-
cation they will lose no seats at
all; privately, they admit from
10 to 20 seats lost; but the prac-
tical field men say that if they
lose only 80 they have won the
election.
There IS nc doubt that, Of the
435 seats, only about l42 will be
Republican: every Democratic
chairman of a committee will be
returned; and that gives the
ADMINISTRATION q well seasoned
army of veteran leaders.
It is hard to tell where the 10
to 20 or 80 dropped Democratic
seats are: easier to pick Sena'
torial winners, where the issues
are clear and one gets a, wide

President Roosevelt Il ful..' al

employe organizations to stage q
drive to have full pay restoration
as of January /, 1885. He vetoed
the independent offices bill March

retroactive restorations.

He said in his veto message:

approve any retroactive action.

She will carry with her a bot

and a large teddy bear which he
presented to her three years ago
in commemoration of a trip to
Yosemite. She was irked about
the teddy bear, for it had been
ripped open in a hunt for ran
