1t was Frick, you know, who
pulled the invisible wires back
of the baseball footlights when
Babe Ruth sky-rocketed from
the Yankees to the Boston
Braves.
It was Frick who spread so
much good will through baseball
when he sent season passes to
every retired National Lacquer
who had played 10 years in that
loop.

MuSsolini today declared italy,
unfaltering determination to pursue
its war against Ethiopia, despite the
infliction of sanctions by world pow
ers, until the East African wal
reaches solution entirely salts
factory to Italy.
In brief but emphatic speech
before the Chamber of Deputies.
which greeted him with wild en-
thusiasm, II Duce declared that no
coalition of nations could defeat
Italy and that italian reprisals
against penalties inflicted by the
League of Nations were "a legiti-
mate defense"
He expressed Italy's gratitude to
those nations-Austria, Hungary
Albania and in part Switzerland
which had voted against the League
sanctions, saying that to them I'VE
send our present and future SYM
pathy." This reference won en-
thusiastic applause from the depu-

day with statement that italy
takes note of the fact that Britain
wants a strong Italy and I'VE have
been working for this for IA years. ,
AS for the present peace efforts
of Premier Pierre Laval and Sir
Samuel Hoare, Mussolini reported
that negotiations toward peace were
in progress, but asserted that until
their conSummation the Italian peo-
pie, who want deeds and not words
would continue to support Italy's
armies in full confidence of victory
II Duce admitted the better at
mosphere of the international situa-
ton, but said TT is my duty once
again to warn you against cherish
ing excessive optimism"
Slap at Sanctions
Diplomats who listened to the
speech viewed as mild in word and
content and apparently an Italian
effort to aid the peace efforts of the
British and French statesmen meet
ing in Paris.
However, Mussolini reaffirmed
Italys determination to continue its
course in Africa until the situa
ton there is clarified "once and
for all"
'On the 365th day of sanctions
we will have the same courage and
the same determination as on the
first day. he asserted.

NOLAN APPEAL TO
BARRETT JUJRYMEN
Bad Mans Fate in Oman
Killing to Rest With
Jury Today.
FACES HANGING HERE
Give Him Chance Is Plea
of Attorney for Ken
tuCkian.
BY JOE COLLIER


District Attorney Val Nolan
today asked a Federal jury to
give George w. Barrett moth
ing less than a fair trial, land,
by the eternal gods, perhaps
for the first time in his life,
no more than a fair trial"
Nolan then turn I'd squarely to the
50-year-old killer of Federal Agent
Nelson B. Klein and pointed at him.
Il say to you, George w. Barrett
that no Kentucky cousin is in
charge of the prosecution of this
murder case.
And / want to say to you, George
w. Barrett, no jury of kentuckians
carrying guns to shoot with has to
decide this case"
Case Near Jury
When Nolan finishes the summa-
ton, Federal Judge Robert C.
Baltzell is to instruct the jury. It
will be the jurys problem to decide
this afternoon whether Barrett must
hang for the crime, committed Aug.
Is, at West College Corner, Ind.
Nolan began the last summation
of the case at II 40.
He told the jury that there are
els agents of the Bureau of Investi-
cation of the Department of Justice
who are making homes and lives
safe from the Barretts of the ma
ton.
There is no agency worthier of
your respect and admiration" he
said.
Shrieks for Expiation
Every UNPUBLISHED murder, every
improperly punished murder takes
away something from the life, from
the security of our nation.
The murder of Nelson B. Klein
shrieks for expiration And it falls
to our lot here in the Southern Ju-
dicial District of Indiana to heed
or to disregard that cry"
Nolan told the jury that when
defense counsel asked for voluntary
manslaughter verdict he admitted,
in effect, there is no self defense.
IF you're asking me whether he
should be acquitted or convicted of
voluntary manslaughter, between
those two, l say he should be &C
quilted.
There is no evidence of VOL
untary manslaughter.
Wants No Compromise
IF you're asking me whether he
should be acquitted or convicted of
murder in the second degree, l say
he should be acquitted
There is no evidence of second
degree murder.
But If you are asking me whether
he should be acquitted or convicted
of first-degree ! lrder, 1 say he
should be convicted.
I'm not talking compromise.
If you invoke the law of self
defense IN this case, gentlemen.
you'll turn the nation into
shambles.
"On Cross" Rice Says
we might as well lock up this
courtroom, so far as a courtroom is
concerned, and turn it into
morgue piled high with dead bodies
of Federal agents against whom
the law of self defense was in
voked."

torney Edward E. Rice asked the
jury not to condemn his client to
the gallows but to give him 10

DENIES BRUN0'S
CASE RE0PENED
u. S. Justices Scheduled to
Vote on Review Appeal
Today.
AWAIT VERDICT MONDAY
Five Votes Are Needed to
Gain New Trial for
Kldnaper.

WASHINGTON Doe

WASHINGTON, Dec. T.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's
appeal to the Supreme Court
to review his conviction for
the kidnapping and Staying of
Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. is
to be decided by a secret vote
of the nine venerable justices today,
but the stolid German carpenter
won't know the result until Mon
day.
In its closely-guarded conference
chamber the court is scheduled to
weigh Hauptmann contention that
he was not given a fair trail in
Pennington, N. j.. where he was
sentenced to die in the electric chair
at Trenton for the crime.
The outcome will not be known
until Monday, when the court con-
venes at noon for its regular Ses-
sion devoted to decisions in num-
Der of cases.
Delay Execution
A decision to review the Flem-
ington proceedings automatically
would delay Hauptmanns execution
until the court has had an oppor-
tunity finally to pass upon the case.
Such a delay might last four or five
months. A review is granted only
when the court is convinced that the
petitioner possibly has been denied
some of his rights under the Con-
Stitution.
To upset a conviction of lower
court, five of the nine justices must
vote for a reversal. This would per-
NIT new trial When a review
is asked, however, the votes of only
four are necessary to have the case
brought up for consideration
If the court refuses to review the
case. Hauptmann's last hope for
court relief will be removed. An
appeal to the New Jersey Board of
Pardons would be the next step.
Failing in that, Hauptmann's law
yers might resort to other legal
strategy such as asking a new trial
on newly discovered evidence.
