LAVAL LIKELY
TO HOLD POST
TILL SPRING
Be Kept in Office
To Impede Eden's
Drive for Sanctions
BY MICHAEL WILSON


PARIS, Dec. % GN.S0.-Inter.
nal French politics and finances,
plus the wolf-cry of European
war" gave promise today that
Pierre Laval, father of the Italo-
French entente, would remain in
office until late spring to impede
young British Foreign Minister
Anthony Eden's drive for more
sanctions against Italy.
Laval must leave the Elysee
Palace ultimately, political experts
say, but he is expected to survive
the SenateS vote on the budget,
the reaSSembly of the Chamber OF
Deputies Thursday, and-With a
rebuke in the form of a lowered
majority-the foreign affairs de-
bate in the chamber Friday.
Clash Likely Soon
The French premier and the
fighting young Eden will engage
in a direct clash for the first time
around mid-January, when the
sanctions committee Of 18 of the
League of Nations meets at
Geneva to consider an oil embargo
against Italy.
Laval succeeded in Staving off
this measure early this month,
even though his peace plan, which
made the delay possible, was.

is expected again to maneuver
against oil sanctions when Eden,
backs them.

Meanwhile, France has made no
move to prepare for military and
naval enforcement of sanctions.

parently Laval's warning to Sir.
Samuel Hoare that France could
not mobilize her fleet in event OF.
war in less than a fortnight still
stands. No advance effort is be-
ing made to cut down the proSpec-
tive mobilization time.
While the parliamentary left
wing looks for Lavaps overthrow
eventually, he will be allowed to-.
remain in office until after the.
budget is passed, and probably
until the May elections, which the
radicals expect to win. Displace'
ment of Laval now would weaken
their election position, leaders

.HAUPTMANN
SIGNS APPEAL
FOR PARDON
Form Has "a Queries
To Outline Plea;
Session Secret

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. %
G.N.SO.-Seeking to escape death
in New Jerseys electric chair dur
ing the week of January 13 for
the murder of little Charles A.
Lindbergh, jr, Bruno Richard
Hauptmann today petitioned the
State board of pardons for elem
ency.
The condemned man signed
the petition at the prison and it
was taken by a guard to Albert
Herman, clerk of the board Of
pardonS.
Hauptmann had spent the week
end going over the "a questions
on the appeal form with C. Lloyd
Fisher, chief of his defense coun-
sci.
Lies Last Hope
In the court of pardons, COM
posed of Governor Harold G.
Hoffman, Chancellor Luther A.
Campbell and the six lay judges
of the State court of errors and
appeals, lies Hauptmann's last
real hope of escaping the electric
chair.
The historic court, exercising all
the prerogativeS of the crown in
the old English law, may extend
clemency on whatever terms 1t
pleases, or even grant parole Of
outright pardon.
Akin to the king and his privy
council, the court is bound by
neither law nor precedent. 1t
meets informally and may hear
counsel for the State or defense,
or Hauptmann himself, though a
prisoner condemned to death has
never yet been summoned be-
fore it.
Sessions Are Secret
Sessions of the court are held
behind closed doors and one of its
ironclad rules is that none of its
discussions be divulged "on any
grounds whatsoever"
At the office of Hermann it was
said that the contents of Haupt
mann's petition would not be di
vulged.
Governor Hoffman will be mott
fled that the petition has beer
filed and the next step will be fix
ing of a date for meeting of the
court.
1t was said at Hermann's office
that the Governor is expected tx
set that date some time today.
Before his application can bt
acted upon one way or the other
the Bronx carpenter will witness
the sixth procession of doom
since he entered the death house
of the New Jersey State prison
Some time before New Yeal
Day, Romaine johnson. Negro
killer, will walk the grim "laSt
mile" to the chair.
Hauptmann's argument before
the court of pardons, it is under
stood, will be chiefly that evidence
was suppressed by the State a

new evidence" has been diScov
cred since then.
