BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON. N. j., December %
Attorney General David r Wilentz,
who prosecuted Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann for the Lindbergh baby Staying
may be asked to pass upon Gov. Har-
old G. Hoffmans authority to grant
the condemned man a reprieve.
The Governor expressed belief yes
terday that his authority to defer
execution of Hauptmann, should the
Court Of Pardons deny him clemency,
might have expired about May Is,
1895.
The State constitution provides for
executive reprieve any time within 90
days after conviction" Hauptmann
was convicted at Pennington last Feb
ruary 13.
Meaning Of Conviction"
The Governor said he might ask the
attorney general to determine whether
conviction" meant the jury's verdict
or the end of all legal moves by q
condemned mans counsel in the
higher courts. -- ,.s a..
The problem, the Governor said,
might also be presented to the Par
dons Court, when it convenes Monday
to consider temporary parole for an
other prisoner to testify in a murder
trial. At that time the court will
probably fix a date for hearing Haupt-
mann's appeal for commutation of the
death penalty to life imprisonment.
Should the court or the attorney
general rule the Governors reprievine
power in the Hauptmann case has ex-
pired, defense counsel may carry the
question to the States appellate courts
seeking quick decision before the elec-
trocution date, the week Of jan
uary Is.
Gov. Hoffman said his attitude
toward the Hauptmann case was still
one Of inquiry" but, he added, he had
not hired investigators.
He disclosed he had seen a photo
static copy of citizenship application
of the late Isidor Fisch and a picture
Of a man who signed it as a witness
Fisch was the German furrier, who
Hauptmann has insisted repeatedly
gave him the Lindbergh ransom
money.
Gov. Hoffman denied receiving in
formation that the witness handwrit-
ing was similar to that of the ransom
notes. which experts testified were
written by Hauptmann.

BAN ON GAG RULES

Speaker Byrns Sees No

bate Next Session.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House leadership passed word
today that gag" rules are out for
the approaching session.
My idea" said Speaker Byrns, ''is
to give the members plenty Of time
to talk, especially early in the session,
and not choke of debate"
Asked whether that meant there
would be no jamming of bills through
under gag" procedure. Byrns said he
saw no necessity for it. He added that
while conditions might arise to make
1t necessary, none is in sight now.
Definition Disputed.
Just what a gag" rule is never has
been definitely settled-it depends on
who does the defining. With the
Democrats in power, a Republican
will brand as a gag" rule that a
Democrat would call liberal-and vice
versa. In general. however, rule
that restricts amendments and cuts
OF debate far short of the time men,
bers would like to consume is con-
kidered gag"
Administration leaders have resort
ed to such rules on numerous New
Deal" bills.
Political Speeches Anticipated.
Byrns said he realized that with
elections coming on, many members
would have political speeches to
spread on the Congressional Record,
and he felt they should have chance
to be heard.
Later in the session, he said Con-
gressmen will be anxious to get
back home for campaigning and will
be unlikely to resent any move to
speed adjournment.
There isn't any reason why we
should not get away around May"
the Speaker said.
