last. Congress then left to the Presi-
dent the determining of the remain
ing per cent of the original Is per
cent reduction.
It was hoped that the President
would restore the remaining per
cent last July /, but, explaining that
1t was not matter Of choice on his
part, Mr.. Roosevelt found 1t neces-
sary to continue the cut, inasmuch as
the cost of living figures prepared by
experts in the Labor Department did
not show sufficient increase to give
him authority to abolish the cut then
When the original Is per cent pay
cut went into effect it was estimated
that the saving to the Government
would be in the neighborhood of
$3.50, 10000 a year. Between $25,-
900 900 and 10000 900 of this, it was
figured, would come from the pay en-
velopes Of the employees In the Dis
trict.
Index Figures Cited.
When President Roosevelt issued his
executive order last July continuing
the pay cut for six months, he said
the index figures of the cost of living
| were ITO for the six-month period
ending June 80, 1928, the base period
and were 1854 for the six-month
period ending June 30. 1884. He
pointed out that the cost of living
index for the six months ending June
80, was therefore 20.2 per cent lower
than the cost Of living index for the
base period.
For the six months ending December
81, 1888, the cost of living index was
oil per cent lower than the cost Of
living index for the base period Of
1928.
While the President was making his
announcement concerning the pay cut
the Civil Service Commission today
made public the monthly personnel
statement. which showed the employ
ment trend in the Government con-
tinued upward in September During

NEW STORY LINKS
GERMAN AND BABY
Ohio Prisoner Asserts He
Helped Hauptmann Get
Rid of Ransom.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, october ST.
A story purporting to name Bruno
Richard Hauptmann as the kidnaper
of the Lindbergh baby and to account
for disposal of part of the ransom
money was published here today,
Only to meet with ridicule from the
taller of the man credited with having
authored it.
The Enquirer said Federal pris-
oner, D. Y. Sanders, formerly of Sche-
nectady, N. Y, had put in writing
the charge that Hauptmann told him
he kidnapped the infant son of Col.
and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, in
1882.
Likes to Talk" Says Jailer.
Moreover, the newspaper quoted
Sanders, held at Troy. Ohio, on a
charge Of impersonating a FEDERAL
officer, as saying, he himself he!oed
Hauptmann get rid of some of the
ransom by going to Germany and.ex-
changing the money for marks and
guilders.
At Troy, Deputy Sheriff Russell
Stane, night jailer, said of Sanders.
He likes to talk. He'll talk about
anything you mention. We think
that all he wants is a ride
The newspapers story added that,
due to the nature of the admissions
Department of Justice agents said
they would investigate further before
placing too much reliance" in San
ders' tale.
Refused "Hot Money"
"In 1882" the Enquirer's account
runs. "he (Sanders) met Hauptnlann
by invitation in New York. Haupt-
mann told him he had kidnapped the
Lindbergh baby and needed help in
handling the ransom money. Because
1t was hot money Sanders refused"
But, the newspaper adds, Sanders
divulged he agreed to help HauptInann
the following year. They talked the
matter over, then came to Cinc;nnati
and proposed an annuity ARA ge-
ment with a minister, merely s'.$ing
he had gold to dispose Of" The
deal, says the Enquirer, did nd go
through. :
Finally, that same year, Sand y, is
quoted as saying he took a pa Tage
of the money to a friend in ter
many, where he received $2,00 in
marks and guilders."
Quizzed by U. S. Agents.
The newspaper relates that SaIsiers
had been questioned recently by sed-
eral agents, had made verbal a6s1is-
sions, and later had supplemented
these with written statement deiail-
ing his dealings with Hauptmann, how
under indictment in New York and
New Jersey on charges of kidnaning
and murder
Sanders is quoted by the Enquirer
as saying he met Hauptmann six Years
ago through a former convict. The
two asked him TO enter a kidnap deal
with them then, but he declihed.
Later. Hauptmann renewed the in
vitation with another kidnapping in
mind, the newspaper relates, and
again Sanders refused. His next con-
tact with Hauptmann was in 1882
when he refused to handle the
ransom.
The money obtained in Germany,
the Enquirer says, was divided be-
tween Sanders and Hauptmann.
