UNIT BACKS MOVE
FOR MORE NURSES
Sixteenth Street Highlands
Group Hears Address by
DR.. S. D. Seckinger.

In response to the claim by DR..
s. Daniel Seckinger, assistant public
health officer, that there is an in
sufficient number of nurses to assist
in public welfare work in washington,
the Sixteenth Street Highlands Citi-
Bens' Association last night unani-
mously indorsed resolution request
ing Congress to increase the appro-
priation for this work so as to raise
District standards in tuberculosis con-
troll. The group met in the Brightwood
School.
DR.. Seckinger, speaking on the fol-
low-up work on preventable diseases.
said there are "a nurses per 100000
population in Washington doing this
type Of work. The standard set by
the Public Health Association is $50
per 100000.
The budget is lacking in several
details" said Dr. Seckinger.
The high cost of housing in Wash
ington was cited as a indirect cause
of a large number of tuberculosis
cases. DR., Seckinger said, Many
WashingtonianS have to spend so
much to keep out of the rain that
they do not have enough left to feed
themselves properly"

writing is disguised or camoufag- ed?
 A. Not always.
 0. Tn how many cases do you find that true?
 A. Four or five.
 Q. Would you say that the writer of the ransom notes wrote with his left hand or his right?
 A. I don't know.
 Q. Did you make any attempt to find out?
 A. Whom would I ask?
 Q. l mean from your study of the hotesY
 A. Well, studied them close- 70. Now professor
 A. Just plain mister please.
 c. Did you notice any marked difference between the ransom note and those sent to pr Condon and Colonel Lindbergh?
 A. Yes, they were less violent in construction.
 o. Did you see any evidence of copying in those letters subse- quent to the ransom notes.
 A. If the same writer wrote both the. first and the rest of the notes there would be no copying. No, there were too many little in- timacies to even suggest the latter letters were copies.
 The chief counsel for the state and defense spent much of the morning out of the courtroom. Att torney General David T. Wilentz turned the questioning over to his assistant, Lanigan. Edward J. Reilly, chief defense counsel. was suffering from a sore throat and his assistant conducted cross ex- animation.
 Pope asked the witness if ail educated man would attempt to disguise his writing by mis.spell- ing words.
 "Not necessarily" the witness replied, indicating that where handwriting disguise was atternp- ted through mis-spelling the writ CT usually gives himself away Tn some other way"
 Pope asked for Tyrell's crayon to use on the witness easel.
 "I'm no expert" Pope apolo- gized to the witness.
 "You may be an artist in dis guise," Tyrell said.
 Pope and the witness engaged In quiet debate over the fornla- ton of certain letters in the ran som and request writings.
 The jury did not appear partic- ularly impressed by the cross-ex- animation. Several yawned openly.
 None followed the questions closely.

tcontlnued from Page 1,

John F. Tyrre1l, handwriting ex- pert, was the first witness. He said he lived in Milwaukee and had specialized in handwriting for 40 years. Among the important trials in which he had participated he said, was the Leopold-Loeh case. he was conceded by the de- fense to be qualified expert,
 Tyrrell's Identification of Haupt- mann as the ransom note writer came within five minutes after he had taken the stand. He said he had compared the handwriting in the ransom notes with the writing shown on Haupt- mann's application for an automo- bile license.
 And what conclusion did you reach?" asked Joseph Lanigan, assistant attorney general. That Hauptmann wrote the ransom notes," Tyrrell replied.
 II made an examinatinon first of the ransom notes," the witness continued.
 '"rhe first ransom note is some. what of an extravagant disguise which is shown by inconsistencies
 There was lapse of time be. tween the writing of the first note and the writing of the second. Evi. dently the writer had some recol. lection of the manner in which ht tried to disguise his handwriting 1T the second note." An easel and a drawing board filled with many sheets of paper stood at the side of the witness stand.
 It was explained that this was tc be used to illustrate handwriting specimens to the jury. With g piece of black crayon in his hand. Tyrrell stepped to the easel, and copying from samples of tho ransom writing, illustrated pe- culiarities of the script.
 He first wrote 'mony' and the word baby to illustrate the pecu- liar formation of the " in each, which was completed with a downward sweep of the pen to the left.
 Col Charles A. Lindbergh leaned forward in his chair, cupped his tently while Tyrrell drew huge black letters on the easel.
 The jury followed this "chalk- talk" with interest. Some of them held photographic samples of the ransom notes and the Hauptmann writing, which they compared with TyrrelPs reproductions. Tyrrell then turned to discus. sion of the word "you' as em- ployed in the writings. This writer apparently knows how to spell the word and when il begins sentence, he spells it with a capital ". But when it Is writ. ten elsewhere it appears to be jou'."
 Tyrrell said that throughout the writings there were many instances where the letter "I'' was not dot. ted.
 Tyrrell explained that occasion. ally the writer varied from his GUS. tomary letter "D"-made with g wide loop at It's final downward stroke to one of more conventional type.
 "To my mind this constituted an evasion" Tyrrell said. Tyrrell went through the series o1

 Almost invariably he left the "e" out of the word "money," making it "mony," similarly, he wrote mote" for not" When he wrote New York;" he put a hyphen between the first and second words. He failed to cross all but very few of the "ts' in his ransom notes, and was careless about dotting his "fs." There were identical peculiari- ties in the way the writer, both or the ransom notes and of the pris- oner's acknowledged writings, made ''y." The loop at the bottom was hardly loop. It looked more Ike a d." :,
 In many cases the writer spelled Jour" with an "e," as "ouer." Nor could he overcome his habit or putting an extra n" in the word Signature" making it "singna- ture."
 Trial Lost Interest
 Pennington, N. J., Jan 15-(UP) Bruno Richard Hauptmann wrote the Lindbergh ransom notes, but tried vainly to disguise his handwriting, the states third hand writing expert, John TyrreH of Leopold Loeb fame, declared to- day.
 Tyrrell, who was the govern ment's leading handwriting witness in the famous Chicago murder case, backed his conclusions about the authorship of the Lindbergh ransom notes, by an exposition of the difficulties encountered by one who tries to disguise his writing.
 He tried to show the jury that little tricks of expression, or little habits of forming letters will trip him.
 He pointed to scores of exam ples in the ransom notes and in the acknowledged Hauptmann handwriting. including automobile license applications and documents written at the request of the po- lice, for these betrayals.
 A jury which had listened al- ready to the states "ace' expert, Albert s. osborn, and to his col league, Elbridge W. Stein. ap- peared bored at times with the lec- ture, and to be more interested in Tyrrell's conclusions than in the reasons for forming them.
 Tyrrell dwelled at length upon words which were mis-spelled both in the ransom notes and in the request writing words like "note" for not" ''mony'' for money" and "ouer" for our"
 "But might not an educated man attempt to disguise his writing by mis-spelling words?" Frederick A. Pope asked on oss-examination.
 Not necessarily" Tyrell replied. "He would kive himself away in other ways"
 Start of Case
 Remington, N. J., Jan IS. (UP) Bruno Richard Hauptmann was brought into court fifteen minutes early to-day for continuation of his trial on charges of murdering the Lindbergh baby.
 The jurors entered the court room shortly before 10 a. m., and began taking off the heavy coats they had worn for the short walk across the street from the Union hotel.

 ISSUES WARNING

(Continued from Page l.l It was the old guard group beaded by Thomas J. Speilacy, Hartford. which disregaredd the commands of Governor Cross in selecting a slate of senate organiz- ation officers and fell by the way side as result of the socialist man. euver.
 Did J. Henry Roraback (repub- lican state chairman) or any other leader have anything to do with the socialists decision? ?"
 we weren't waiting for anybody We have nothing in common with either opposition party. The well fare of the people Is our objective. It was apparent other factions had no principal other than hat of personal gain"
 His Talk With Cross
 "What were the conferences with Governor Cross and yourself about?"
 "They had no bearing on the vote. He had nothing to recom- mend. He opposed 1t, as matter of fact. He was interested in get ting the legislature organized, not knowing how to proceed, We talk ed it over to decide what was to De done"
 "Why did the socialists wait un- til the 10sth ballot before deciding organization?
 I've wanted to see if there was any progressive slate offered by the democrats. It was plain by that time there was none. They were solid for the Spellacy crowd"
 How do you explain the sudden switch of the democratic bloc to your own candidate for senate president pro tempore after the so1 cialist had voted for Lynch?"
 Tt was an empty gesture. They knew that under parliamentary procedure once that vote was cast there was no changing it. It was a bunch of hokum."
 There Is No Hook.up "What do the socialists expect to get out of the present arrangement In exchange for their support to the republicans?"
 There is nc hookup. A year ago we hollered for special session to act on unemployment relief and nothing was done. It Is imperative to get into action to aid the budget makeup. Our object was to throw the responsibility on the party controlling the lower house. So far as the socialists are concerned we have accomplished an important strategic move to speed legislaticn and get a sh0wd0Wn.'

rights to demand appointments to important committees. They are entitled to consideration in view of the public vote. We hold a psy- choiogical position in the legisla- turc. They can't do without us. We don't want the people to believe they elected Q lot of dummies"
 Was the move made purely in the interests of Bridgeport legisla- ton ?"
 ''It was not. We have important measures to submit bearing on our own city, which is our primary in- terest, but the welfare of the state is of equal importance. We must not forget we must obtain prestige through realization of our cam paign promises and ideals"

 q member of the renate. The ap- H0intments to the judiciary com n1ittee are generally given to law yefs and Senators Lawlor and George T. Culhane et this city are not members of the bar.
 President pro tempore Lynch of the senate will place one democrat 10 senator on the all-powerful judi cjary committee when he makes his committee choices. He has taree democrats to choose from. They are Senator William P. Hagearty of New Britain, an "old guard" member, Senator John '. BlackaiI of Hartford, "new guard" member and the governors choice for leader of the democrats in the senate, and Senator Ray mond J. Devlin of New Haven, who was defeated for the post of presi- dent pro tempore by Senator Lynch.
 Democrats May Caucus
 If Senator Hagearty i; named to the committee by Senator Lynch. 1t is expected that the democratic senators favorable to the governor will insist on democratic caucus Thursday to take action on naming a new floor leader. The "old guard" senators, with a margin of one vote, decided on Senator Hagearty as the party leader over the objec- tions of Governor Cross. Governor Cross is expected, in the event of a caucus, to exert his influence open Iy to have Senator Blackall named party leader and gubernatorial spokesman.
 Can Mix Them Up
 On the other hand, appointment of Senator Deviin to the judiciary committe, would, in following tho old custom, designate him as the democratic party leader. Senator Eynch can cause the democrats quite a mix-up on Thursday if he picks Devlin for the judiciary com mittee.
 Senator Lynch is keeping his Committee set-ups to himself and in the meantime many democrats are entertaining the opinion that he will honor the governor by naming the latter's choice, Senator B1acka1l, to the judiciary h9dy. Ac- oording to reports, no democratic senators have filed requests with Senator Lynch relative to commit te0 assignments. The socialists have decided not to seek any com Inittee assignments at all but it is Understood that Senator Lynch will give them some posts.

(continued from Page 1.) Hannah F'isch and two other wit nesses from Germany will be taken off there and rushed in a police launch to some New Jersey port whence they will be transported to Remington where Hauptmann's trial Is in progress.
 The brother and sister will tee- tify that Fisch returned to Ger many on funds provided by Haupt- mann end died penniless, bequest- ing only long list of debts. The other two, whose identity has not been clearly established, will sub stantiate their stories. They had been intended as surprise witnesses but the United Press reported their departure from Le Havre, France. last week with New York city De- tective Albert Johnson.
 Blitzer Kept Silent. Blitzer never has offered his evi. dence to the state because he did not understand untfl today that Hauptmann seriously intended to testify that the ransom money in his possession came from Fisch. Blitzer said he could not believe Hauptmann would do such thing He Is now coming forward to pro- tect the reputation of dead client and friend, he said.
 June IS, three months before his arrest, Hauptmann accompanied by Henry Uhlig, visited him at his office, Blitzer said. Uhlig had just returned from Germany with the news that Fisch was dead.
 This information" Blitzer said, twas greeted by Hauptmann with the remrak that Fischi was g damned swindler'."
 Hauptmann demanded from Blit- ger the number of Fisch's safety deposit box in the North River Savings Bank. B1itzer asked why and Hauptmann said he had lent Fisch $14, 14,O0O-approximately the amount of the ransom money found in Hauptmann's possession.
 Discussed The Matter.
 "He might have thought as a layman," Blitzer said, "that could allow him access to the box with out an order from the public ad- nlinistrator and that he would be able to say that he found the bills in the box. We discussed the mat ter for a while then Hauptmann bdlU--anQ LneSe are HIS cxdGL WOLhS as near as l can remember--:
 'Fisch lived in a room in a boarding house. He took every thing he had in the world with him to Europe and the only pos sibie way of finding out whether he left anything behind is in that safety deposit box
 II don't know how important this is to the case but I know there is only one truth and that was what Hauptmann said before Henry Uhlig andAnyself. I believe F'isch was absolutely innocent and I want to see him absolved,"
 "I asked Hauptmann if he had any written acknowledgement of his loan to Fisch. He said he had mt and told him that in that case he would have a hard time getting into the box"
 The lawyer pointed out that Hauptmann found" the s14,0O0 only after thus making known that he was looking for almost that exact amount.
