SENATOR NORRIS MAKES ANOTHER ATTACK ON PING.
Declares Administration Must Not Be Farley
 izedEWarning

WASHINGTON, Jan. G0.- From within the, Republican Independent group that has supported the Pres ident strongly in the past, came the assertion yesterday that the Executive may meet defeat if he continues to let his Postmaster General Farleyize his Administra- tion"
 The statement came from Sena- tor George w. Norris, of Nebraska, on the floor of the Senate during a speech on the World Court is- sue.
 The veteran Senator's statement that Roosevelt. like Hoover, might be one term President, came as surprise to some but to many of Norris friends it was not interpret ed as an outbreak, but nothing more than continuation of his efforts to have James A. Farley give up either his Cabinet post or the Chairmanship of the Demo- cratic National Committee.

 In AT years of actice service, Robert Edward Coontz rose to the highest positions of responsibility open to an officer in the navy as chief of naval operations and com mander in chief of the United States fleet with rank of rear ad- miral.
 One Achievement This and the adoption of a defi- nite naval policy signed by Sec- retary Denby and President Hard ing calling for "a navy second to none" he later listed among the outstanding achievements of his tenure of nearly four years.
 He also cited as important ac- complishments the definite forma- ton of a United States fleet, de- velopment of foreign cruises as part of the operating plan and strengthening of the office of naval operations.
 Admiral Coontz was referred to by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, under President Wilson as "a man of ability, resource and judgment who has the confidence of the service perhaps as much as anyone in it."
 Complimented
 Everything he has ever done in the navy has been done splendid ly." the Secretary said.
 For his work in the World War Admiral Coontz received the dis tinguished service medal. He served first as commandant of the Brem- erton Navy Yard in the state oi Washington where he supervised the building of fighting ships and combatted agitators and sabotage In the closing months of the war

 GROUP MONDAY
Upper House Committees to Begin Survey of Two
 Important Problems

Liquor and taxation problems are due to come up for their first im- portant survey Monday when Sen ate committees on both matters get together Senator John B. Powers chairman of both groups, announc- ed yesterday that sessions would be held Monday morning and like ly those not members of the Leg islature would be heard if time af- forded.

 Earlier Poll

BRIEF CROSS EXAMINATION
 GIVEN BRUNO
Prosecution Brings Out Statement from Defend-
 ant on His Veracity
STATE IS PREPARING
 FOR STIFF QUIZZING
One Surprise Is Sprung Wh en Memorandum
 Book Introduced

PENNINGTON, N. J., Jan. 26.-- While the court took recess to Monday in the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the defendant fortified his defenses while the prosecution rolled up new ammu- milton for savage attack on his denial he kidnapped or killed the Lindbergh baby.
 The defendant studied his stock trading records to account for his affluence after the ransom had been paid. His lawyers went to in- spect his home in the Bronx.
 The state attorneys studied the weak points in Hauptmann's de- fense.
 Wait, Says Wilentz
 "He is vulnerablel Very uulner- ablel" said Attorney General Will entz, who hammered at Haupt- mann during the defendants first half hour of cross examination yes- terday afternoon, but wait until we get started.
 Although Hauptmann appeared shaken when he left the stand yes- terday afternoon, he voiced satis- faction with the impression he had made on the jury. T do not feel they bore me any ill-wil1" said Hauptmann.
 Hauptmann was almost conteinp- tuous in his remarks about Will entz.
 'It seems the Attorney General is trying to get me excited. All I can say is he will have to try lot harder. I'm on to that because I have been told prosecution law yers act like that. It is no use for I am not trying to hide anything," said Hauptmann.
 Is Telling Truth
 Attorney General Wilentz, in his cross examination of Hauptmann late yesterday afternoon said You have an opportunity, you still have time to tell the whole truth Have you told the truth?"
 T have told the truth already" said Hauptmann.
 When asked if the story he old was the same he gave in the Bronx after his arrest, Hauptmann said, to a certain extent.
 Surprise Sprung
 As Attorney General dinned the truth" point into the ears of the jurors, then swung to Hauptmann's criminal record in Germany: then sprang the first surprise of the cross examination.
 Wilentz thrust into Hauptmann's hands a cheap red memorandum book, open at certain page.
 '1s that your writing" said Will entz.
 "Yes, that is my writing" replied Hauptmann, twisting in his chair. Take a look at this word and tell me if that is your writing. That one word therep said Will entz.
 Hauptmann made no answer and stared duly at the open page IS If he could not comprehend what he saw.
 Wilentz pounded away at the question until the pallid prisoner finally acknowledged: Tt looks like my handwriting, but cant re- member ever put it in"
 The word was ''boad," found in one of the ransom notes referring to where the baby would be found and using the word "Boadnelly' in designating the exact location.
 The State will try Monday to show Hauptmann financed his stock market manipulations rom the ransom money.
