MRS. HAUPTMANN ON STAND TODAY
Swedish Carpenter Is Posi- i've in His Iden-
 tihcation

PENNINGTON, N. J., Jan. 30.- Two witnesses, Mrs. Bruno Haupt- mann and Elvert Carlstrom, Swed- ish carpenter, today supported Hauptmann's alibi for the night the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped.
 Carlstrom said he remembered the day because it was his birth day. He said he saw Hauptmann in front of the bakery where Mrs. Hauptmann works, reading a newspaper. He said he saw a pie ture of Hauptmann in news paper after his arrest, and told someone, who had told attorney Reilly, that he knew Hauptmann personally.
 Carlstrom said Mrs. Hauptmann had waited on him at various times during the two months he ate at the cafe counter.
 Remembers Hauptmann
 Carlstrom said the reason he re- membered Hauptmann was because he laughed at him and he got mad at Hauptmann for the laugh.
 When get mad at person I remember his face" said Carl strom.
 Mrs. Hauptmann who began her testimony after her husband had completed his direct examination. said she never saw the shoe box on shelf in closet, said to have contained the ransom money alleged left by Fisch. but was made to admit by State Attorney General Wilentz that she used it.
 Was Same To Mate
 She said Hauptmann acted no differently toward her after her return from Germany on a visit but admitted she refused to go to the home of Mrs. Greta Henckle.
 Asked what was the reason, she dropped her eyes and timidly re- piled: T couldn't say that to you"
 Mrs. Hauptmann said her hus- band called for her the night of the Kidnapping.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 30.- America will hold the greatest so- cial event in it's history tonight to honor the Presidents Birthday and to finance a nationwide fight against infantile paralysis.
 This seemed established at head quarters for the Birthday Ball for the President here today when Col. Henry L. Doherty. National Chair man, announced that the total number of towns and cities hold. ing celebrations this year will far outnumber the total last year With more communities organized on January 8 this year than the grand total organized at the end of the campaign last year, and with each community which held a party in 1884 working to out-do itself in 1885, everything points toward an event unrivaled in the history of the nation
 While small communities from Jackson, Maine, to Honolulu, Ha- waii, and from Point Barrow, AL aska, to San Juan, Porto Rico, prepare for programs that will include very local notable and will reach a climax between. 11:30 and 12:30 with a nationwide radio ad- dress by the President himself, great population and social centers vie with each other to make their ball the outstanding event of the year.
 Chicago Plans Biggest
 "The biggest social event ever held" is the way the Chicago com mittee, under the chairmanship of Howard F. Gillette, characterizes it's birthday party for the Presi- dent, and the boast is backed up by elaborate plans.
 Scene of the ball will be the citys International Amphitheatre the largest hall in the world, with a capacity of 60,000. There, be- sides the ball itself. will also be featured the worlds largest barbe- cue plus barn dance led by an old timers orchestra of 80 pieces
 Twenty orchestras have volun- teered to play tonight, the Chicago Musicians Union has donated a 100-piece band, and meat and beer are being supplied by Chicago busi- ness men
 The Chicago birthday celebration will not be limited to the evening program alone. In order to swell the fund to fight infantile paralysis, banks and other public places in the city displayed total of 10000 contribution cans to receive small contributions. School children also made their special contributions sep arately, and a Presidential birthday cake will be sold at City Hall. Chicagos newspapers, transporta-

HOUSE PASSES
 APPROP R LAYTON FOR NOME, CRAIG
$l2,000 Involved in Pro. posals to Help Schools
 in Stricken Cities

Two appropriation measures were pushed through the Territorial House of the Legislature today. One would provide $10,000 to Nome for its grade and high schools and the other $2,000 to Craig to car " on it's school work interrupted by the recent fire.
 Effort was made by George Lingo to amend the Nome pro- posal so that the territory would receive a refund of the money, but he finally withdrew 1t when How ard Lyng of Nome pointed out the city, which was wiped out by fire last September, has virtually no money in it's treasury and will have none whatever for schools af- ter the middle of February.
 Explains Situation
 Lyng told the House that three fourths of the taxable property ot Nome had been wiped out in the disastrous fire and for the next two years at least the citys revenue from taxation would not be a third of what it had been before the fire. Lingo explained he was not against giving Nome the money but he felt that it was a bad practice to allot Territorial funds to incorporated cities with out making arrangements with the cities to repay.
 The money would be allotted over two-year period, $5,000 an- nually. The measure passed with out dissenting vote.
 The Craig school bill also found ready passage. The new $ll OOt Craig school was burned last week and the school is forced to seek temporary quarters. The $2,0O0 asked of the Legislature, would gc to defer cost of rent, supplies and 1 other incidentals. Both measures now go to the Senate.

Protocol of American Ad- herence Loses in Surprise
 Vote by 52 to 36
FOES DECLARE ISSUE
 IS DEFINITELY DEAD
Proposal Backed by Roose- welt and All Presidents
 Since It Came Up

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.- The Senate Tuesday night rejected the protocol of American adherence to the World Court by a vote of 52 for to 36 against. The court pro- posal has the backing of the ad- ministration as it has had the sup port of every President since it first came up.
 Foes of the court declared the Senate's rejection means the issue which has been before the Senate at intervals for 12 years is dead for some time to come, if not per- manently
 The vote was surprise to many as only Monday night opponents considered they would have no more than a majority of two votes to defeat the measure. However, sentiment swung against the meas ure in the last few hours and it would have taken two thirds vote to carry, hence the World Court proposal lost by seven votes despite President Roosevelts re- quested ratification so the United States could "once more throw it's weight onto the. scale in favor of peace"

A SPECIAL CASE


 It should be understood that in holding certain features of the oil code unconstitutional, the su- preme court was dealing with rather narrow field of litigation.
 Oil was considered so much a special case when the recovery act was drawn that special section was devoted to it: This section went somewhat farther than the general sections authorizing code making in general. The court felt it went too far. The question now is whether, in later decisions, il will have the same feeling about the other and more general clauses of the law.
 The renewed activity and en- thusiasm of the anti-"new dealers is based on implications they read into the courts words; implications denied by the new dealers"
 Almost immediately the effect has been seen in Congress. The Re publican minority stiffened it's line' overnight. It began an organized opposition to the lump sum" plar for public works. It began to make preparations to examine more care fully the other proposals expected soon from the White House.
 Whatever the justification fo it's hopes, the opposition to MT Roosevelt did take new hope ant

Supreme Court OiI Decision Heartens Anti-NeiU Dealers,
 Points to ''Specific" La,Us
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Probably there never will be complete agreement as to the full significance of the supreme courts ''hot oil" decision, but no one dis putes that two practical results al- ready are becoming apparent:
 The language of the court has given new hope and new enthusi- asm to those who contend that the basic concepts of the "new deal" are unconstitutional, unwork- able, and futile; and
 Delivery of the opinion just at this time forecasts far greater care and deliberation 'in revamping the national industrial recovery act than were expended in its origi- nal enactment.
 These are considerations of fact and not of opinion. Whether there is ground for the new courage in- fused into the anti-''new dealers is beside the point. Nor is it ne- cessary to establish whether g more cautious administration course actually is compelled by the courts action.
 The hard practically is that the new courage has been infused or the one side, and the new caution on the other, and both of these facts already are having their ef- feet on capitol hill and elsewhere
