 To Lindbergh Killing

In his cell in Bronx county jail, Hauptmann was never for a mo- ment free of the watc1ful eyes of guards. Extraordinary precautions | were taken against a possible es- cape attemptS or an effort at sui- eide. Yesterday, Hauptmann with held spoon when his breakfast dishes were removed, broke it into three pieces, and sharpened the spoon bowl into what could have served as a crude weapon in a sud- den attack on a guard or in an attempt at self destruction. Here after, Hauptmann will eat with paper forks from paper plates. James M. Fawcett, his attorney, was believed preparing an insanity defense on the indictment charg- ing extortion already returned in Bronx county, and the charges or murder and Kidnapping expected to be filed in New Jersey, probaply next week. He told reporters he would have alienists examine his client.
 Hauptmann has been in custody | since a week ago last Tuesday. Steadfastly he has maintained his | innocence while scores of detec- lives labored to build up a power full case of circumstantial evidence linking him with the collection Of $50. 900 from Dr John F.

WORKING HOURS
 WILL BE CUT
fcontinued from PFC 1.,

The quickest method of putting men to work---by reducing work ing hours under the codes--ap- pears unlikely to receive new att tention. N
 A drive will be started, sources close to the board believe, to bring all codes down from the average 40-hour week to 36 hours. This is planned as an emergency expedieht to tide over the winter season, with | return to the. 40-hour week when purchasing power rises next spring.
 Shortage of skilled labor has caused recovery administration of- ficials to initiate efforts through codes to lift the wages above the minimum wage, to attract begin- ners to the trades.
 Two industries employing about 30,000 workers have provided the proving ground for the experiment according to Colonel George F. Bardy, assistant administrative of- ficer. Brady is in line to succeed Lieut. Col. George A. Lynch early next month.

HUEY LONG COLLECTS

When the football team of Louisiana
State University went up to Nashville,
Tenn, to play the Vanderbilt team, Sen
ator Huey Long made 1t possible for the
teams rooters to go along by loaning 81
apiece to some 500 students.
Anyone who has ever had much expert
ence with the attitude of college students
toward small loans Of this kind must have
doubted that the Kingfish would ever see
much of his money again. But either the
Kingfish is an able debt collector. or the
Louisiana State lads are a little more con
scientious than their brethren on other
campuses; for the loans are actually being
repaid. The Senator doubts that he will
lose even 500.
A man who can loan 81 apiece to 500
college boys and get practically all of il
back is nothing less than a genius at fl
nance.

AT LAST, WE HAVE OUTLINED
OUR PIONEERING STAGE

Whether Uncle Sam will ever do any,
thing with the gigantic blue print laid on
his desk by the National Resources Board
may be open to question. 1t is at least
certain, however, that the whole thing is
a neat if somewhat elaborate marker for
the end of a long era in American history.
For the interesting thing about this
program laid down by the presidents adj
visers is the fact that it ships off time
honored American policies and customs in
a dozen places.
In other words, it is a final, definite adj
mission that the pioneering days are gone
for good. No longer do the infinite re-
sources of the land lie waiting the grasping
hands of some valiant first-comer.
The program says bluntly that a man
cannot do as he pleases with his W any
longer; he must use what ne possesses of
forest, stream, and soil with at least one
eye on the needs of his fellows and his
descendants.
Thus we get an elaborate plan for the
use of land. Something like $4,000, 900
acres of s~ubmarginal land would be re-
tired from use. Indian reservations, ma
tional and state parks, game refugees and
forest preserves would be tremendously
enlarged.
Homestead laws would be repealed,
laws governing tenant farming would be
revised, and subsistence housing projects
would be tied in with a federally fostered
decentralization of industry.
The use of our streams would be even
more stringently regulated. Detailed
studies of the possibilities inherent in water
power, navigation, and flood control prof.
ects for nearly every stable river basin in
the nation would be made.
Everything affecting a river, from con-
struction of big hydro-electric plants to
prevention of pollution that kills fish,
would be directed from Washington.
Control of mineral resources is also
urged. This, apparently, would call for
combined action by the national govern
ment, the states, and the industries them
selves, with each industry compelled to
adjust its policies to the interests of con-
sumers, wage-earners, and the national
conservation program.
The items mentioned here constitute but
a small part of the stupendous program
which has been suggested. They consti-
tute an official recognition of the fact that
the good old days-the days when mines
and forests and streams and farmlands
, 1934-12-26

were held the natural prizes of those who
could get there first-are over and done
with.
We have grown up, apparently. We
can no longer afford the carefree spirit of
the pioneer.
That, whether the program be adopt
ed or not, is the significant thing about
the report.
