Alaska Air Defense.
Seattle Post-IntelligencerD

It is heartening to patriotic Americans that General Macarthur Chief of Staff of the Army, should urge the establishment of military defenses in Alaska.
 In 1881 the Army General Staff made similar recommendations but Congress failed to act at that time. It should not delay longer.
 There should be both naval and aviation bases in Alaska, and a strong military force there to guard against attack

 This day of peace, when the United States is free from international disputes, is an excellent time to create military defense in Alaska

His outburst in court, though phys

During testimony just previous to his

had placed almost $4,000 of ransom

an irresponsible and dangerous smile,
such q sneering smile as would re-
move from him forever the adjective
"stolid." And as inevitably as the
reverberations follow the peal OF thun-
der, so his wife, who seems an echo OF
his will, has shouted hoarsely in his
wake to a witness, you're lair!"
The tears in her eyes when she ac-

surprising, either. She is not an iron

woman torn between husband and

Fights Payment.

BY the Associated Press.
With President Roosevelt standing
firmly against payment of the soldiers
bonus, House Democratic leaders are
divided on how soon to bring the issue
to a vote.
The Presidents attitude was re-
emphasized yesterday afternoon when
questions we're asked as to the pos
sibility of some sort of a compromise
being worked out. He replied there
was lot of policy on the bonus, and
that it would develop. Mr.. Roosevelt
is having the Veterans Administration
compile statistics on how much the
various bills introduced would cost.
Check on Line Up.
With reports in the Senate that the
payment move is gaining strength,
leaders there are making a check to

Stirred by the demands of more
than a hundred members who have
pledged for a quick vote on the Pat
man bill. Speaker Byrns yesterday
said he thought the issue should be
settled soon, one way or the other"
but added he would not favor depriv-
ing the Ways and Means Committee
of ample time to consider the bonus
bills"
That committee had set the bonus
aside to take up on Monday the
Presidents social security program.
Chairman Doughton said hearings on
security would take two or three
weeks Because the committee so
voted. he said the bonus should not
be taken up until the other measure
was reported to the House.
Feared Cry Is Raised.
Immediately, one bonus leader
raised the cry that Byrns had feared
They're trying to stop, or at least
delay. passage of bill"
This member asserted that if the
Ways and Means Committee did not
act before then. he would file petit

lieved the State would rest its case
Monday or Tuesday afternoon.
"The defense will then open its
case on Wednesday," he said. I'VE
have on our list about so witnesses,
and we expect 1t will take about a
week and half to complete our case.
Mr.. &C. Lloyd Fisher will make
the opening address to the jury and
l will render the summation.
Our first witness will be Haupt-
mann himself, and I expect that he
will be on the stand under direct and
cross examination for about one day."
The State intended to resume Mon
day the final phase of its case-the
ransom money trial leading to Haupt-
mann's arrest. William Frank of the
United States Internal Revenue De-
partment, who has been tracing
Hauptmann's accounts, was among its
witnesses.
Ladder TO Figure Again.
The State has rescued the kidnap
ladder from its place as an almost
but not quite-"forgotten figure" in
the trial
States attorneys said they would
try again early next week to get the
ladder in as evidence against Haupt-
mann.
Seventeen days ago Wilentz told the
jury he would show them in due
course that Hauptmann built the
ladder, using in parts of it wood
from his home in the Bronx; that he
carried it to Hopewell for the kidnap-
ing; that it cracked and he fell with
the baby in his arms.
Soon after the trial began, the
State brought the ladder into court
and sought to have it introduced in
evidence. The defense objected, after
witnesses said it had been taken
apart tor examination. Hauptmann's
attorneys said it must be shown 10
have a connection to him and proof
must be offered that it is in the con-
dition it was when found abandoned
70 feet from the Lindbergh home.
Justice Trenchard agreed that the
State must show that the ladder had
been restored to its original condition.
The State. then, seemed to loose all
interest in the ladder. Days of testi-
mony on other phases of the case
passed. Finally it was brought back
to the court room yesterday. The
metallurgist, Stanley r. Keith. who
has an interesting story to tell of
modern sleuthing with few ordinary
nails as clues, took the stand, but
said only that after he got through
with the nails he turned them back
TO the State police.

bank accounts was q customers man,
William Mulligan, employed by New
York brokerage concern.
He testified of Hauptmann's deal
ings with his firm, Steiner, Rouse
g. Co.
The carpenter, he said, carried an
account in his own name for a
time and later had it transferred to
his wife who used her maiden name,
Anna Schoeff1er. Hauptmann, how
ever, conducted all transactions.
Might Be Bruno Aide?
Mulligan, under cross-examination,
identified a photograph of Fisch and
said the furrier Rad accompanied
Hauptmann to his Office five or six
times" In the late Spring or Summer
of 1888.
Fisch, the witness said on cross
examination, was not customer of
the firm, but Reilly asked:
He could ask Hauptmann to buy,
couldn't he-'buy me five, buy me 10.
buy me 15'-and give him the
money!"
"Yes, sir" Mulligan replied.
Hauptmann, the witness said, on
redirect examination by Wilentz, told
him he was in the "fur business" in
explaining where he got his money.
And he told you he was in the
fur business with Isador Fisch, didn't
he?" demanded Reilly.
Yes. SIR"
Mulligan said in response to an
other question that he knew of no
bank ever returning any of the Lind
bergh baby ransom bills to his concern.
He was followed by Joseph H. Burk-
ard, attorney, who testified he drew
up documents for a $3.50 mortgage
in Mrs. Hauptmann's favor in Janu-
airy, 1888.
Reilly objected to the mortgage on
the ground there was no indication
the mortgage was paid for in ram
som notes, and WilentZ replied the
State was endeavoring to show that
Hauptmann got rich quickly in 1882.
Harry Triester, a Mount Vernon
Bank clerk, testified Hauptmann OPEN
ed an account in June, 1892, deposit
ing much money in silver coins. The
high point of the account was $1,250
he said.
He was followed by Herman Ried-
rich, jr.. clerk of a New York City
Bank, who described accounts carried
in the names of both Bruno and his
wife.
Wiientz brought out that the ac-
count grew from S2O3.9O on April !,
1882, the day before the ransom pay
ment, to S2,528.35 at the end of the
year.
Reilly. however, showed that Mrs.
Hauptmann's account carried sums in
excess of $1,000 before the kidnapping

Bruno Hauptmann heard the State
Use his own words yesterday to admit

Bronx home.
But he kept his nerves in check
the nerves that cracked Thursday, in
q raging demand that State witness
''stop lying!"
And toward the end of the day he

he got the ransom money that he
spent and hid.
AS the State swung into testimony

COMEDIANS CHILD
IS CENTER OF FEUD
Families of Linder and Wife,
Who Ended Lives, Battle
for Custody.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, January 19-Nine years
after the double suicide of Max Lin
der, celebrated French movie comed-
ian, and his wife, the court contest for
custody of their daughter Josette, has
been renewed between two embittered
families.
The will of the father gave the
2-year-old baby to his family, the
mothers will to hers.
A preliminary decision favorable 10
the maternal claimants was reversed
in 1927 by a ruling that since the
right to choose a guardian rests with
the surviving parent" Linder's family
was entitled to Josette's custody, be-
cause her father outlived her mother
by short interval.
Josette's maternal grandmother,
Nine. Mathilde Peters, charged that,
II Max Linder was the surviving par
ent, 1t was only because his mad fits
of Jealousy drove his wife into sui
eide pact which he made sure she car
ried out by insisting that she kill her
self first.

BY ANNE SUYDAM.

PENNINGTON, N. j., January 10
If you were a woman who had taken
pride in your husband, your baby, and
your home, how would you feel about
seeing your husband pilloried, rightly
or wrongly, before the eyes of the
world? How would you feel about hav-
ng to send your baby far away so that
you could see him but once week,
because of the curious prying eyes and
pencils of people who insisted upon
disturbing him from his natural nap
and turning him into copy? And how
would you feel about seeing board
from a closet in your home brought
into court room, and thence into
the headlines of hundreds of news
papers?
The board, of course. had to be sub
mitted as evidence. Upon 1t was in
scribed the name and the address Of
the man who had acted as interme-
diary in the Lindbergh ransom pay
ment, and that writing in itself was
but another of many damning state
ments. But somehow it seemed to me,
sitting as I do directly behind Mrs.
Hauptmann, that the board from the
closet of her little child must have
held more significance than the writ
ing upon it.
I do not know whether this woman
had any guilty knowledge of this
crime I do not know. And no one
knows what goes on in her heart
while exhibit after ghastly exhibit IS
brought into this court room. But I
do know that any good hausfrau must
sicken in her soul at the sight OF
such obvious destruction of her home,
such intimacies paraded before gap
ing public.
Wife Must Go On.
The mink coats may come and 60.
Park avenue matrons may bring their
lunch baskets for fear of being con-
taminated by Pennington fodder, the
female robots may scribble their copy
and dash off for the week end to join
husband, child or sweetheart-or
maybe just for a good nights rest,
but this woman, Anna Hauptmann,
must go on forever. Whether Bruno
burns" or whether Bruno Is recon-
mended for mercy, or whether Bruno
goes free, she will never be free from
the horror of this case.
People call these Hauptmanns stolid,
and I cannot understand it. DR.. Con-
don on the witness stand unneceSsar-
lily defined number Of words, thereby
confusing counsel, jury, and great por-
tions of the audience. Having no die
tionary handy, can only say that to
be stolid has to me always meant to
be phlegmatic, bovine, irsensitive, and
unaddicted to the disguise OF feeling,
for the simple reason that there would
be no feeling to disguise. A stolid
appearance is one thing, stolid tenn
permanent another. These Hauptmanns
are stole, not stond. They have much
to conceal, and while the defense may
take care of their material concerns,
it is up to this man and woman to
control their own expressions Of emo
ton.
