appearance and shouted:

She then said four men, pre-.
Sumably Italians, had seized her
Monday night, forced her into an

Rain did not interfere with the
Sunset Symphony concert Of
the National Symphony Orches-
ira, under the direction Of guest
conductor Rudolph CAM last
night at the Potomac Watergate
Three or four thousand people
were present for one of the most
delightful programs OF. the series.
The dance numbers of Miriam
window and her dance group were
placed Immediately after the open
ing overture to Russian and Lud-
milla," so that in case Of rain
later, the audience would see the
dances.
But the rain held off and Mr..
CAM finished the program with
out the usual intermiSSion, play
ing the symphony last. After an
even greater demonstration than
he received Sunday night, Mr.;
CAM favA,ed the audience with
Little Praeludium" Jarneteld)
as q farewell encore.
The loud speakers were toned
down and the microphone pickup
gave the violins and violaS q little
too much volume at times, but on
the whole the results were the
best yet. The brilliance OF the
violins was especially pronounced
in the overture to Russian and
Ludmilla" (Glinka) much to the
enhancement of the piece.
Mira. Winslow gave a Spanish
dance, "Andalouse" (MaSSanet) /:
an Interpretation of prelude"
Chopin and "ValSe Impromptu"
(DohnanyD. Her work on the
style of Ted Shawn, her mentor,
was we'll received by the audience
and the concluding number,

Miss WfnSlow with her ensemble,
was repeated as an encore.
Study in Sports
The Sport termezz %"
(Strauss) given by the group. was
an interesting study of various
athletic sports. 1t was reminiscent
of Ted Shawn's dance in lmita'
ton of a baseball player.
Mr.. GAM gave a reading OF
Tschaikowsky's Symphony No.
s." that is seldom excelled. The
melancholy emotions Of the first
and second movement were care
fully brought out. The soothing
third or Waltz movement, coming
without preparation after the emo
tional exhaustion suggested in the
preceding movements, furnished a
charming distraction by way OF
contrast.
It comes as a palliative to the
overweight nerves of the spirit
deep in exhaustive sleep. The
theme shown above is introduced
by the violins with the opening
measure and is voiced by the
other strings, horns and basSoons
The use Of a waltz movement in
q symphony is rather uncommon
but it serves the purpose Of re
/ taxing the tension created by the
preceding movements.
The fourth or finale movement
presents the first theme Of the
first movement in q brighter YER
sion in a major key. The whole
| movement thrills with bright vi
tally where formerly was abject
melancholy. The march theme
that formerly suggested the ir
reSiStible advance Of q destroying
monster is now changed into a
hymn of solemn religious feeling
Time and again, the entire re
sources of the orchestra give voice
to a mighty joy. 1t is as though
the soul having sought in vain in
the first and second movements
to find mental relief from the
anguish of some catastrophe, and
having been Gained in sleep, now
views the situation in a new light;
finding Solace in a religious belief
the burdens are rolled from his
mind. A literary elaboration Of

ST. LOUIS, Jan. IS d.N.SJ.
Price fixing by NRA code au-

yesterday by United States Dis
trict Judge Davis.
Judge Davis handed down his
ruling in denying the Federal
Governments application for an
injunction to restrain the Coal
Service Company of st. Louis
from selling coal at less than the
code price for this district.
The coal company, asserting
code prices were too high, had
admitted it was selling at lower
prices and declared its intention
of continuing to do so unless re-
strained by a court.
Judge Davis ruled that price
fixing is monopoliStic practice
and as such is condemned.

COUZENS DEALS
. BLOW At BELL

When Senator Couzens said
that the man should be hanged"
who wrote the Administration
work relief bill granting almost
dictatorial powers to the President,
who would be empowered to spend
$4,880, 900 900 as he pleased, it is
understood that the Michigan Sen
ator was sealing the doom of
Daniel w. Bell, acting director of
the budget.
Although the bill was intro
duced in the House by Chairman
Buchanan, of the Appropriations
Committee. it was we'll understood
that Representative Buchanan
was merely acting as an errand
boy for someone higher up in the
Administration. President RooSe.
velt answered inquiries at his lat
est press conference that he had
not even read the bill.
Following Senator Couzens' bit
ter attack upon the proposal to
put so much power and so much
money in the hands of the Presi-
dent, it became known that the
measure was written by Acting
Director Bell or someone so close
to him as to make Mr.. Bell off
cially the author of the measure.
The bill has had the attention
of practically all the Administra-
ten lawyers in the higher ranks
because it may have to pass the
test of the Supreme Court before
the 18-months;, emergency period
covered by the bill is over.

What local projects will be

of a scenic boulevard between
Washington and Baltimore. Such
a boulevard has been under study

Mr.. Koehler will testify that the
wood used in the kidnap ladder is
of the timber grown in only two
parts of the country-in upper New
York state and in section Of Wis
consin. Lumber from the WisCon-
sin section was shipped by the Ma
tional Mill and Lumber Co., Bronx
distributing firm.
Handwriting Experts Due
1t has been ascertained that
Hauptmann bought lumber from
the Bronx firm that distributed the
Wisconsin product. 1t is also a
matter of record that an 18-inch
length of wood missing from the
floor of the attic in Hauptmanns
Bronx home fits snugly into
grove of the kidnap ladder.
After Mr.. Koehler will come the
experts-men versed in the micro
Scopic qllirks of handwriting. They
will testify that the handwriting in
the ransom notes corresponds with
handwriting that Hauptmann was
forced to inscribe after his arrest.
They also will say it corresponds
with the handwriting on his auto
mobile license application.
When the defense opens It's case,
Hauptmann's lawyers will bring
their own handwriting experts to
the stand who will testify that
Hauptmanns script bears no re-
semblance to that of the ransom
notes.
Today is the day that Mr.. Reilly
promised to name four persons
two men and two women-as the
kidnaperS. He already has be-
gun to hedge on that promise, and
the last thing he said on the sub
ject was that nobody is going to
bully me into doing this until I get
good and ready"
He was referring to demands by
the state that if he had evidence
duplicating anybody in the kidnap-
ing, it was his duty to step for
ward and present it to the court.

about it.
Edward felt so badly that he

But when Edward was taken to

And there was Mr.. La Ear, also

Just folks"-and the toWnspeople
like him because he talks their
language.
He's old and he's just a bit in
clined to slip in an opinion or two
in the midst of some very important
testimony. He's no respecter of per-
sons in that he says his piece and
you can take it or leave it, but his
words are tempered with the mel
lowness of three score years and
fourteen.
Although the Jafsie of the Lind
bergh case might incline a bit to
the side of Sentimentalism he was
what it takes to captivate the citi-
zens of Hunterdon County-those
at least who were able to crowd into
the courtroom. News that DR..
Condor was on the stand spread
like Wildf1re.
Hundreds Jam Main-St
At least thousand more persons
than ever before, jammed Main
st in front of the Courthouse.
The entrance was roped off on
either side of the steps, but ropes
are simple barriers to cross or duck

endos, rumors, implications.
He said as much today when At

Mr.. Reilly and Mr.. Wilentz en-
gagged in debate on the method of
questioning. Mr.. Wilentz protested
the assassination of a witness by
inference" A moment later Mr..
Reilly Numbered:
Isn't it a TACT that you were

by the Board of Education at the
request of teachers for conduct I'M

Court recessed for lunch. Haupt
mann was rushed from the court
room. Two guards grabbed the
prisoners hands. Heretofore he has
made his way from the courtroom

his rear.
At the noon recess a woman said:

who appeared even more pale than
usual. His eyes are sunken, and
there are deep black circles beneath
them.

rome to Jafsie.
Mr.. Reilly, obviously resenting
the general impression that the IA
year-old school teacher beSted him
during two hours of cross examina-
ton yesterday afternoon, intimated
early he would keep DR.. Condor on
the stand all day.
But aside from personal vanity,
it was essential to his case that he
either obtain some modification of
the positive manner in which DR..
Condor identified Hauptmann as
the ransom collector, and by implica-
ton, as the kidnaper, or discredit
him in the eyes of the jury.
Accuses Suspect Three Times
Not once but three times, in a loud
voice, carefully enunciating every
syllable, DR.. Condor said the myS-
ferrous John to whom he paid the
ransom in st. Raymond Cemetery,
the Bronx, was Hauptmann. 1t was
the most damaging evidence the
state has elected to date against the
taciturn German carpenter.
When Jafsie leaves the stand he
will be replaced by Arthar Koehler,
expert lumberman of the Govern
ment'S Department of Agriculture.

as lectures-to the John" of the
case, the ransom notes he received,
his visits to Col Lindbergh.
Look a moment at the crowd.
The farmers, their wives, their chill
dren who swarm through the court
room-all are hard working people
They toll long and hard to earn a
livelihood in their fields. They like
honest expression; they like blunt
ness of speech.
Jafsie, by his own boast, is a
Woodworking man. He was re-
tired from q vigorous life of teach
ing when he was more than 70
years of age. He wanted to work
harder and longer. When counsel
suggested that court be adjourned
because the witness may be tired, y
Jafsie protested:
Il feel fine. Go ahead. Go all

When DR. Condor leaned forward
to give Mr.. Reilly word for word
the crowd gave its approval. 1t

Der and twice as cool.
Beneath her mask of cheerful
ness and gertrude, however, Mrs.
Hauptmann is showing the strain.
Three times she has watched
while men stepped from the witness
stand and placing their hands on
Eher husbands shoulder, said: This
is the man." Three times she has
heard the lips of strangers frame
the words that made of the father
of her child, a baby murderer.
Anna Hauptmann still can smile.
But her smile is frightening. 1t IS
more like a grimaCe than an eX-
preston of good cheer or of good
humor, Deep, gray lines are like
parenthesis to her mouth with the
dropping corners.
Fingers of sorrow that threaten
to become fingers of despair have
placed blue smudges under her pale
eyes Her flesh is colorleSS. Only
during short receSseS when she leans
forward and exchanges hasty conf
dences with the prisoner, her hus-
band, does she show spark of the
animation that characterized her
first entry into the tragedy.
Il am so excited" she said at the
close of the third day. Il go now to
visit Richard"
Wednesday is the day designated
by the Sheriff as visiting day for
Mrs. Hauptmann. AS she entered
behind the barred doors of the pris-
on from which her husband will
emerge as a free man or doomed
man, she was striving to blot out the
deep, gray burrows and the blue
smudges. She was trying to recall
the blithe young Anna from the
Fatherland who had caught the
fancy of Herr Hauptmann. Her eff
fort was brave but futile.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the
man of stone, has become the man
of chalk. He remains outwardly i'm
movable and impenetrable, but his
body is numb and there is a chill
to him. His color is gone. Only
the prison pallor remains. His pc
culiar eyes that are not convex as
eyes should be, but fiat and Opaque.
have sunk deeper into their sockets.
