Police officials, State and Federal

unanimous in condemnation of the

petty gambling.
Some of them expressed themselves
on the racket and on the campaign
against it in progress here, as follows:
Thomas S. Rice, LII. B., editor of
Panel, publication issued by the
Association of Grand Jurors of New
York County, former Washington
newspaper man and practicing attor-
ney. said:
In the old days of the policy game
the promoters were making so much

racketeers have made 1t big business
but they haven't made it honest.
Compares 1t With Lotteries.
ITO my mind, gambling is purely
an economic problem and 1t is one of
the oldest and best economic laws
that you can't get something for Moth
ing. You'll pay for it later If you
don't sooner.
i've watched the lotteries work in
South America and in European coun-
tries and the odds are tough enough
to make anybody think twice before
trying them. But at least you have
honesty in their operation and you
know what you're getting and what
the odds are against you. You're
throwing your money down rat hole
in this game.

SALE Of j. s. ARMS
TO JAPAN PLANNED
Munition Makers Secured
Loan Approval, Says
Du Pont Manager.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Evidence of cooperation between
the United States Government and
American munitions makers was Of
fered to the Senate Munitions Com
mittee today together with testimony
that both military branches encour-
aged sales to potential enemies.
Mai K K v. Casey, du Pont sales
manager, said both the War and
Navy Departments encouraged sales
to potential enemies because they
provided business for American COM
panies and because they developed in
formation of foreign military prepara-
tions.
Casey testified in a voice made
hoarse by a cold and his long ap-
pearances on previous days. He was
flanked on the witness stand by
1renee and Lammot du Pont, officers
Of the big powder company.
Say Reserve Supplied Arms.
Previously Senator Clark, Democrat
of Missouri, conducting the inquiry
produced evidence that shortly after
the war the Army agreed to provide
ammunition out Of reserves for sale
by the du Points to Japan and that
the Bethlehem Steel Co. sent naval
oficers in Brazil information Of guns
and armament made by that COM
pany.
Clark said that was evidence naval
officers were made ''peddlers" for
Bethlehem Steel's war materials.
Casey testified that after arrange
ments were made with the Govern
ment to get reserve Army materials
the company found it could get the
materials elsewhere.
But you had made the arrange
ment with the department to get the
supplies from Army reserves?" Sen
ator Clark asked.
Yes" Casey replied, "the Army
was willing to help us to tide us over"
Planned to Take 10000 Rounds.
Casey explained the company ar
ranger to get 100000 rounds of am
munition from Army reserves to fill
the Japanese contract.
A letter from du Pont files showed
an Army officer held the arrangement
with the du Pont company was mot
regular procedure, but Casey told the
committee it was not contrary to
Army regulations.
"As a matter of fact" Casey said,
when the War Department realized
Japan could go right to England and
get the stuff out of stock, they were
very glad to help American manu-
facturers
Before turning to the correspond
ence, Clark announced he was going
to study relations between the pri-
vate munitions companies and the
United States Government, particu-
larly the War and Navy Depart
ments
Clark said the evidence also would
show a former high officer in the
Army volunteered to act as an agent
for du Pont in negotiating the sale of
powder to Poland in 1922 and that the
War Department loaned du Pont an
Army gun which was taken to Holland
for demonstration.

PENNINGTON, N. j.. December II.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the
stolid Bronx carpenter, stood hand
cuffed in Hunterdon County Court
today for Is minutes as he listened to
preliminary arguments in his at
torneys' demand on the State for a
bill of particulars on the indictment
that he murdered Charles A. Lind
bergh, jr.
The argument on the bill of par
ticulars was short-lived. for Supreme
Court Justice Thomas w. Trenchard,
vino presided, postponed hearing N
the matter until Thursday, when the
defense requested that he fix date
when Edward Reilly, chief defense
counsel. could be present
Justice Trenchard assured the de-
fense that Hauptmann would be in
court when the motion was argued.
There will be no action affecting the
defendant except in his presence" he
ruled.
All Jurors to Return.
After the hearing date wa. set, but
before Hauptmann was led back to
jail. the justice, here for the opening
Of the December court term, told the
special panel of $50 prospective jurors
who sat in the tiny court room that
they were all to return January 2,
the date the former German army
machine gunner is to go on trial. No
one will be excused from jury duty,
the gray-haired jurist said.
The defense served its demand for
bill of particulars on the State
some time ago. but has not received
any reply to the series Of IL ques-
tions propounded. Today's legal move
was to force the State to make
answer
Hauptmann listened intently but
impassively to the proceedings. The
slight smile that was on his sallow
face as he entered the court room
disappeared as he was led before the
bar.
Seen by Jurors.
The occasion was the first time the
entire jury panel had looked upon
the man whom IL of them will try.
Fisher announced that the defense
will serve a formal petition for a bill
Of particulars on the State some time
later in the day to supersede its
present request.
Lanigan then inquired if the de-
tense had any other petitions to be
argued and Fisher replied that it
wanted access to certain exhibits "a
State evidence in the case as well as
permission to visit both the Lindbergh
estate at Hopewell, the scene of the
kidnapping, and the Hauptmann home
in the Bronx, N. Y. He added he
understood all this could be arranged
with Attorney General David T.
Wilentz, chief of the prosecution, so
he would make no motions for the
permission.
Justice Asks Move.
1t was at the suggestion of Supreme
Court Justice frenchard, who will

 In purely intra-empire warfare Great Britain lost it's most prized

 The defeat of Notre Dame by his Texas longhorns must have been both sweet and bitter to Jack Chevigny, the Texas head coach. A great Notre Dame back and an assistant coach there in 1929- 30-31, Chevigny left South Bend with any but pleasant memories at the end of the 1881 campaign when he and Hunk Anderson came to the parting of the ways and Hunk got the head coaching job he wanted. After Rocknes death he and Hunk were given division of authority, Anderson taking the title of senior" coach and Chew igny that of junior" Obviously such a state of affairs couldn't
 and didn't last.
 It must have been pleasant for him, therefore, to show his critics that perhaps Notre Dame had oeen mistaken when it let him go. 1 It also was the first major start of his first Longhorn team and what coach would not be pleased with a victory in that spot over the once great-and they will be again-Ramblers
 ! In Bohn Hilliard, who punched
 oslt. the. touchdown when the un- fortunate Melinkovich fumbled the
 kickoff, Chegivny has a likely can didate for all-Southwestern honors 1 and perhaps national.
 It is a very rocky road ahead of Hilliard, Chevigy and Texas, however. They now only have to defeat Oklahoma, Centenary, Rice, Is. M, U., Baylor, Texas Christian. Arkansas and Texas Aggies for a perfect season There are few soft spots there for a player, or coach, to land.
