| SHdii uidu, pOiuteu out tufcc poSSioic
courses which the President can follow.
The first course would be to make
| NRA permanent, but in simplified
form. Under this plan, every industry
would have to go under code fixing
wage and hour limits and prohibiting
child labor. Trade practice provisions
would be entirely voluntary. In rare
cases where price fixing is employed,
the government. not the industry,
would fix the price.
The second course would be to ex-
tend the NRA as it now stands, but
for limited period. Unless legisla-
ton of this kind is enacted, the act
will expire automatically on June 16.
The third course would amend and
extend the NRA.
DEFENSE attorneys for Bruno
- Hauptmann indicate they will
continue to pin their hopes on the
mysterious Isador Flsch. little German
! furrier, whom they claim was the kid
| naper Of Baby Charles Lindbergh, and
| who used the accused ex-carpenter as
an unwilling accomplice. Fisch died
| from tuberculosis in Germany.
Efforts have been made to link Fisch
with every phase of the case-the
Lindbergh household, the ransom notes,
and the ransom money. CrOss-exami-
nation of the defense counsel always
swings back to the theory that Flsch
was really the murderer of the child.
This will be used in connection with
the expressed alibi of Hauptmann that
he was calling for his wife at her
place of employment on the night of
March 1, 1892, and several witnesses
| to confute the states claim that Haupt-
mann was seen near the Hopewell
IN. J.) estate on the day the crime
took place will be called. Several 9TH
err surprise" witnesses are expected
to be produced by Edward Reilly, chief
attorney for Hauptmann.
Meanwhile the state continued its at
tempts to show that Hauptmann
financed his brokerage accounts with
the $4,000 ransom money. Two certified
public accountants, both government
men, were called by the state to estab-
lish their claim that although the ac-
cused was in the market in small
way PRIOR to the kidnapping, his ac-
counts suddenly increased after the
ransom money was paid. At one time
prior to the kidnapping, Hauptmann
closed out an account listing fifty
shares of stock and received an equity
of 5000, but afterward transactions
totaling S350,00O in the next thirty
months were carried on by him.
This sudden increase, the defense
asserts, was the result of Hauptmann
being the unsuspectIng front" for the
shadowy Fisch The little furrier, it is
claimed, was often seen with Haupt-
mann in New York brokers' office,
and although all the transactions were
carried in Hauptmann's name, 1t was
really Fisch who was conducting the
market operations and who furnished
the capital.
The question of the banking and
brokerage accounts is looked upon by
both sides as very important in it's
bearing on the motive of the crime.
The state asserts Hauptmann wanted
money in order to live without work.
ing, and to satisfy his passion for
stock market speculation.
A set of photostatic copies of the
banking and brokerage accounts have
been furnished Hauptmann at his own
request. His attorneys say he is very
interested in that phase of the case,
and that he is confident he can account
for all his financial transactions since
the. crime in way to convince the
jury they grew out of property he and
his wife owned and investments they
had made before the kidnapping.
vNAR famed again in Manchukuo
w as the Japanese massed 1000
| troops In preparation for drive into
| Chahar province, west of Jehol and
| northwest of Peiping. Infantry and
aviation units are being sent from
| Chengteh, capital of Jehol province,
| against Tanin and Tokochen, adjacent
to the Jehol- Chahar border. The jap
anese claim both towns belong to the
| Manchukuo regime Notice to vacate
| the towns has already been issued to
| the Chinese controller of the province.
Japan's action is seen by Chinese
leaders as a determined gesture to in
timidate Monaghan princes of Inner
| Mongolia and to cut the overland route
| connecting Peiping with Urga, capital
| of Soviet controlled Outer Mongolia.
| The situation is viewed with consid-

The drive will bring japanese military
operations into direct contact with the
borders of Outer Mongolia, and prac-

cow have hurried back to their pro-

THE increasing Importance of the
l. Orient as an outlet for American
/ trade, and the swift conveyance of Eu-
| ropean air lines upon that area have
prompted rapid advancement of plans
for establishment of an experimental
air transport service which is expected
to reduce transportation time between
the Orient and the New world by &C
flying hours.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, it has
been announced, will take a leading
part In blazing the new trail across
the Pacific. At present it is awaiting
the outcome of the trial of Bruno Haupt
