In support or fhia day the participating mer. chants have been asked to guar. antea values which we, as con- stD1ers, cannot--in my opinion s>kfford to overlook.

The witness, the source said, Is
a resident Of the Bronx and q
Spanish American war veteran. He

Hauptmann. since his arrest
three months ago, has steadiastly
maintained he was not in New Jer-

dilemma.
