PENNINGTON, N. j., January 10.
Hostile, grilling cross-examination
of DR.. John F. Jafsie) Condor, which
failed in an attempt to show the Lind
bergh kidnapping the work of a gang,
ended unexpectedly today as court
began its afternoon session.
The examination, lasting from 2:33
yesterday until the noon recess today,
failed to shake the elderly Bronx
educator on any essential detail OF
his story that Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann was the mysterious John" who
negotiated and collected the futile
Lindbergh ransom of $50,000.
DR.. Condor was excused from the
stand after % minutes of redirect ex-
animation by the prosecution.
The venerable retired school teacher
had been under severe cross-examina-
tion by Chief of Defense Counsel Ed
ward J. Reilly for approximately seven
hours.
Reilly, chief of the defense staff
which is fighting desperately to save
Hauptmann from the electric chair as
the kidnaper and murderer of Charles
A. Lindbergh, jr., had announced pre-
viously that he expected to keep Jafsie
on the stand for at least a day and q
half.
Changed Mind During Recess.
Sometime during the noon recess he
decided to content himself with what
differences had already been drawn
from his questions, and with the pro-
duction of two mystery women to con-
front Jafsie while he was on the stand.
Reilly brought one of the women
into court. She was Mrs. Hermina
Koren, who lives on farm near
Hopewell. The other he merely men
toned as Mrs. Busch"
Jafsie readily recognized Mrs. Koren
as a woman who came to his home in
the Bronx with another to discuss
real estate transactions. The other
woman, Reilly said, was Mrs. Busch.
The attorney, mysterious about the
matter, told reporters only that Mrs.
Koren is very important witness
who must be kept from contact with
the press"
The only reference to the women in
CUuIt tcobllIIOlly WOO WAASA ASO1AJ
asked DR.. Condor if he did not show
them letters and tell them they were
in the handwriting of the kidnapers.
DR.. Condor disclaimed any memory
of such incident.
Sought to Clear Up Testimony.
The first point which Attorney Cen
eral David T. Wilentz sought to clear
up after getting Jafsie back as a
witness was his contradictory testi-
mony, given under cross-examination,
about the sealed letter which he re-
ceived for Col. Lindbergh from the
kidnaper. DR.. Condor had said he
did not break the seal, yet he went
on to tell how he described the symbols
in the letter to Lindbergh over the
telephone.
He told Wilentz he had been con-
fused and that his testimony was in
error.
He said he called the Lindbergh
home on the basis of an unsigned note
and was instructed over the phone
to open the sealed letter. He then
read the letter to the person to whom
he talked.

identified Hauptmann as the mys-

PAY AMENDMENT
SLATED IN HOUSE
Mcleod Plans Measure to
Restore Salary Cuts as
of January |.

During consideration Of the inde-
pendent offices appropriation bill by
the House this afternoon, Representa-
tive Clarence j. Mcleod, Republican.
of Michigan, a member Of the APP
preparations Committee, planned to
offer an amendment to restore the
remaining per cent pay cut to Gov
ernment employees. effective from
January /.
Representative Mcleod, who has
the support of many prominent Dem
ocrats. including members Of the Ap-
propriations Committee and the Civil
Service Committee, emphasized today
that "the cost of living theory. upon
which the pay cut has been predi-
Gated, was totally discredited by Con-
gress when it restored two-thirds Of
the cut last year."
Quotes President.
Representative Mcleod argues that
"even the President himself has dis
carded the fallaciouS idea Of meaSur-
ing wages by a so-called cost of living
theory" pointing out that in the
budget message the President signifi-
cantly states:
"'Among the economy provisions
which now obtain and which it Is not
proposed to continue is the per cent
reduction in compensation Of Govern
ment employees after July 1, 1885," He
also calls attention that further on in
the budget message the President says
1.-THE index figure Of the cost Of nv.
ing, on the basis Of which salary res
torations are provided by Section 3,
Title 2, Of the economy act of 1888, now
indicates that such restoration in all
probability would not even be justified
on next July or for some time there
after"
Standard Held Discarded.
Continuing his argument Mr.. Nc
Leod says: "As the matter stands at
present the cost Of living theory has
been thrown overheard by Congress
and has now been repudiated by the
President in his budget message as a
measuring stick for determining the
salaries Of Government employees.
with billions being spent in at
tempts to increase purchasing power
throughout the country, it is not only
the height Of inconsistency but cruel
traveSty to withhold complete restora-
ton Of the 5 per cent pay cut. To
restore the cut in full as Of January l
would mean an additional appropria.
ton Of but little more than $50, ,000,-
600. Justice and fairness to Govern
ment employees demand immediate
restoration. Restoration at this time
will not only alleviate an intense and
severe hardship on hundreds Of thou
sands of small salaried employees. but
will, through increased purchasing
power do much to stimulate business
recovery"

TWO RESCUED
BY BOY HERO

EAST HAMPTON, N. Y, July 19.
U.P)-A plumber and a clerk owed
their lives today to blue-blooded
Stuyvesant Fish, 14-year-old grand
son of the late arbiter OF New

Defying an undertoW in the sea
before his cottage, the boy splashed
through waves on a small rubber
raft for 100 yards to the aid OF
John w. Grant.
Stuyyesant towed Grant ashore.
There the plumber gasped.
Carl is still out there I was
trying to save him."
So the lad called for help and
with his father, Sidney w. Fish,
and several others, rescued Carl H.
Reudershan, an East Hampton
clerk, in a roWboat ReuderShan
was half a mile out and struggling
feebly in the outgoing tide.
Both the plumber and the clerk
had to be given emergency treat
ment for exhaustion.
Stuyvesant's grandmother was
the famous Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish,
who, by trimming her guest list to
a notable party to a blueSt-blood
400, originated the term which has
stuck to the cream of society. His
father, a lawyer, for some time has
lived at Carmel, Calf, but the
family is summering here.

FRESNO, Calf, July 19. U.P)-
Federal officers today investigated
a reported widespread sale of gov

marked mot to be sold
D. v. Harris, Carruthers farmer,
allegedly was found in possession
of 20 pairs of shoes and clothing
valued at $100 purchased from
workers at the Fresno transient re-

son, Edgar M. Harris, had made
the purchases at a fraction of what
similar merchandise would have
cost on the market.
James Bowen, division director of
SRA transient relief, asked U. S.
Marshall w. G. Rhodes to make a
thorough investigation.
I'VE know there has been consid-
cradle trafficking in government
relief clothing for some time" Bow
en- said, especially through local
second hand stores, but we can't

He said both Harris and his son
had worked at the shelter and were
familiar with strict rules prohibit

clothing they are given"
Bowen emphasized none of the
clothing had been stolen from the
local warehouse.
