FASTER ACTION BY
COMMITTEES ASKED
Crockett Informs House cavel
Will Fall on Time; Won't
Set Clock Back

Request for faster action on meas
ures before committees was made in
both houses Of the North Dakota
legislature as leaders moved to pre-
vent possibility Of an eleventh hour
jam.
Speaker William Crockett in the
house warned representatives that
the gavel would fall finally at mid
night Of the sixtieth legislative day.
He sent word to the senate through
Senator O. e. Erickson Of Kidder
that the gavel would fall ION time"
and there would be no stopping or
setting back Of the clock as was
done two years ago when the as
semblies continued three days past
the official end Of the session to
clear proposed laws.
Erickson said Crockett assured him
the gavel would fall on time and
asked the senate to speed up commit
tee work to avoid a last minute rush.
The announcement stirred the ire
Of Sen. William Watt Of Cas- ooun-
ty who protested he could not un-
derstand why word was sent over
here"
1T wasn't this assembly that de-
layed two years ago-the house had
better clean its own windows" he
said.
In the house Speaker Crockett
made his announcement from the
rostrum personally, declaring he
would like to have action on bills"
in committee. He said the house
has been accused Of holding up the
work Of lawmaking, but pointed out
it has q larger membership which IS
unwieldy compared to the senate. He
urged house committees do some
fast work to get the bills out" and
asked the senate likewise clear bills
from committee quickly.

Washington, Feb. 6.-R With
Senator Carter Glass apparently get
ting set to open fire on the treasury's
new banking bill. legislators heard
Wednesday that efforts might be
made to keep it out Of the hands Of
subcommittee the Virginia Demo-
crat heads.
Such hint was seen in the re-
mark by Senator Fletcher (D-FlaD
that the whole banking committee
probably will want to handle the bill, :"
which he interpreted as giving the
administration more control over
credit and the issuance of currency.
Fletcher is head Of the senate bank
ing committee, Of which the group
headed by Glass is . subcommittee.
Glass, conservative opponent of the
bill which would widen the federal
reserve boards powers, said he did
not believe the reports that his COM
nittee would not handle 1t.
when my subcommittee gets it,
I'll have something to say" he had
declared.
Fletcher planned to introduce the
bill into the senate Wednesday. It
was drafted by officials Of the treas
ury. federal reserve system and De-
post Insurance Corporation, but
bears only the partial endorsement OF
President Roosevelt.
Glass maintained that Mariner 8.
Eccles, governor Of the federal re-
serve board. had failed to keep a
promise to show the bill to him be-
fore anyone else saw 1t. though Eccles
said that through mix-up, the bill
was sent to congress without his
knowledge and before he got final
draft himself.

mission to Shut Down
Markets for 80 Days

washington, Feb. 6.-(R-A presi-
dental proclamation declaring . ma
tional emergency was disclosed In
an authoritive quarter Wednesday to
be embraced In administration plans
in event Of q supreme court decision
adverse to the government In the
gold cases.
Although inquirers at the White
House were told no such proclamation
had been prepared. it was asserted
elsewhere by an official who did not
wish to be quoted that action could
be expected within q matter Of min
utes after the court renders its opin-
ion. Treasury and justice depart
ment experts in touch with the situa-
ton, meanwhile, reiterated confidence
that the court would uphold the gov
eminent.
President Roosevelt, In response to
inqairy at his press conference, said
he had not discussed closing stock
exchanges on the day the court hands
down its gold clause decision and
would not discuss this question or
the case until the decision is made
public.
Fear Market Reaction
This would indicate that swift &C.
ton would be required II the ex-
changes are closed. Some fear that
. decision adverse to the government
would produce unfavorable market
action.
Closing Of the exchanges would re.
quire President Roosevelts approval.
Officials explained that the law
empowers the securities commission
to close the exchanges for a 90-day
period but only with the approval OF
the president.
It was believed that In usual cases
the president would accept the recon-
mendations of the commission.
Just which of the many powers
vested In him MIR. Roosevelt chooses
to exercise. when the court decision
is made known, is expected to turn
on the Interpretation it places on the
abrogation Of gold clauses in con-
tracts.

adopted by Q to 8.
The substitute was offered by Sena-
tor Adams (D-ColoD and was report
ed to have been supported by Chair
man Glass (D-Va.) and all but one
Republican member.
Senator Norbeck (R-S. d. was un-
derstood to have sided with the adj

tration leader steering the bill against
the opposition Of Glass and others
within his own ranks, as well as the
Republicans, was In constant COM
munication with the White House as
the executive session proceeded.
It was apparent that the sharp
disagreement on the measure, even
among Democrats themselves, was
continuing and that further conces.
sions to the opposition may be neces-
sary in view Of the close vote on the
substitute.
One section eliminated by the COM
mittee would have authorised the
president to make loans or payments
to needy individuals and make grants,
loans or contracts without restriction,
Another provision eliminated would
have permitted the president to ac-
quire by purchase or by the power Of
eminent domain any real property,
then improve it and dispose Of 1t Is
he saw fit.
Still another section stricken out
would have authorized the executive
to consolidate, redistribute, abolish or
transfer the functions and property
Of any emergency federal agency and
delegate the power conferred upon
him to any government bureau or

The words relieving economic mall

Remington, N. j.. Feb. Ga Bronx
plumber testified Wednesday that an
attic floor board, which the state
charged was used in the Lindbergh
kidnap ladder, was not noted by him
to be missing when he investigated
leak in August, 1884.
Gustave Miller, the plumber, said
he examined the attic at that time
for six or seven minutes and could
remember no boards missing.
The state had produced testimony
that after Hauptmann's arrest police
found board missing from the at
tic, and that an upright from the kid
nap ladder fitted into the vacant
space, jibing with It even to the nail
holes and the slant Of the nails.
This evidence was further support
ed by q wood expert who said the
grain of the ladder upright matched
that of section from which the
missing floorboard had been sawn.
Baby Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was
kidnapped and slain on March !, 1882.
The states contention Is that the
floorboard was torn up before that
time for use In the ladder which was
left near the scene Of the crime.
Miller also supported Hauptmanns
story Of a leak In the closet, where
Hauptmann said he stored . shoe
box given to him by Issdoe Fisch.
Hauptmann had testified the shoe
box became rainsoaked. that he &C
cidentally struck it with q broom,
damaging 1t, so that he discovered 1t
contained money. This noney-$l4,-
600 In Lindbergh ransom notes-was
found In Hauptmanns garage after
his arrest. He did not count the money
at once, he said, and he explained
this was because it was wet and had
to be dried.
Miller testified rain ran down q vent
pipe from the roof OF the house.
Fisch Evidence Ruled Out
The defense fight to save Haupt-
mann from the electric chair for the
kidnapping and murder Of Baby Charles
A. Lindbergh, Jr., failed to get into
the record testimony from another
witness that would have shown,
Hauptmann's attorneys said, that
Fisch displayed gold notes in May,
1888.
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard ruled
the defense would first have to prove
the gold notes were ransom bills. The
witness. Oscar John Buchanan, q
taxi driver once employed by Fisch,
left the stand after testifying that
Fisch displayed large roll Of money
when paying for taxi ride In May,
1888.
Reilly in answer to objection by At
torney General David T. Wilentz,
declared Bruchmann's testimony was
offered for the purpose Of showing
the sudden affluence Of Fisch and
his wealth and his display Of certain
