 New York, Jan. 16 - (UP) - The appellate division of the Brooklyn supreme court today or dered James NJ. Fawcett. former counsel for Bruno k. Hauptmann. to appear Friday with documents bearing on the Lindbergh kidnap- ing case. The court desires to de- termine whether they shall be turned over to Edward J.

 Fawcett who withdrew as Hauptmann's attorney before the German carpenter went on trial in Bennington, ". J., on charges of murdering Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., has resisted surrendering the papers, claiming they are private property.
 Four More Experts
 Bennington, N. J., Jan. lG - (UP)-Four more handwriting ex- perts piled up their accusations to- day that Bruno Richard Haupt- mann wrote all IA of the Lind bergh ransom notes.
 In an attempt to speed up the testimony of experts, the prosecu- tion ran quickly through the testimony of Harry F.. Cassidy Winner Souder, of the United States bureau of standards, Albert b. Os- born. and J. Clark Sellers.
 All of them agreed that Haupt- mann wrote the ransom notes. and that the scripts in those notes was the same as was contained in his application for an automobile li- censc and in the handwriting sam ples he furnished police after hk arrest in New York.
 Court was interrupted in mid afternoon when fl defense hand writing expert William Conner ford-shouted that he could mol hear the testimony or see the cx- hiblts from where he was seated Justice Thomas ". Trenchard re. buked him for interrupting the pro ceedings and Comerford apologized
 C. Lloyd Fisher of defense coun- sei attacked Osborn's testimony that be had never seen q hypher between the words New" and York" before testifying in this case. He showed osborn five cn- velopes on which tho words were hyphenated.
 You have gone 20 years with out having seen those words hyphenated. and now in q few min. utes you have seen five? He was asked.
 That's right" Osborn replied.
 Prosecution handwriting experts have made much of the fact that Uauptmann hyphenated New York"
 Evidence Resumed
 More spectators were admitted this afternoon than on any other previous day of the trial.
 Osborn resumed the stand. un- der cross examination by Lloyd Fisher, associate defense counsel

Strictly ombing 4Ss, sos, or IA blood Ohio and similar feeces are quoted slightly easier at 26-27 cents in the grease.

cy with some information regarding
the present lineup in Europe.
Zon says that Italy faces serious
situation at home as we'll as the con-
certed opposition of France and Eng
land in its Ethiopian adventure. La
Dor disturbances, in some cases
amounting to riots, he says. have
taken place in Milan, Palermo and
other sections, while in the North he
reports that an entire regiment mu-
tinted and went back home. Report
ing these alleged events made him
persona non erata with Italian authori-
ties, and kept him out of that coun-
try. Yugoslavia, he says, is becoming
more and more crowded with desert
ers slipping over the border.
From Germany, Zon said, reports
leak out of increasing living costs
and decreasing wages. He is of the
opinion that Hitler will soon be in
the same position as MussOlini, being
forced to go to war or face a disinte
grafton of his terrorist regime al
home.

A false picture of the present con-
dition of the security market has been
painted in the minds of the average
investor by reason of the creation and
operation of the Federal Securities
and Exchange Commission, coupled
with the unified and coordinated eff
forts upon the part of the securities
commissions of the various states to
aggressively regulate the sale OF
securities within their various states
Many persons are of the opinion that
fluctuations in the market values OF
securities are caused by rigging OF
manipulation upon the part of market
operators, forgetting that economic
changes from day to day also enter
materially into change of values.
A housekeeping of the stock ex'
changes and their members by the
establishment of strict rules and reg
ulations has helped materially to put
the business on a higher plane but
nevertheless the investor may not si
back and assume everything is now
all right. The greatest menace a
large and the most serious to contend
with is the INSCRIPTIONS salesman
working as a free lance upon the
public from no office or reputable
place of business and gifted in the
extreme in the art of high pressure
selling. These individuals are nov

State Capitol News
BY A. /. HARRIS

Thomas Minehan, former Univer-
Sity of Minnesota sociology inStruc-
tor who few years ago left his class
room to rub elbows with our youthful
Migrants in box cars and flop houses,
issues a warning to this country
which should be taken seriously. In
a recent address he stated that unless
we give our young people a proper
place in our economic world, the
nation will face the greatest crisis in
its history He pointed out that
there are over 100000 unemployed
young people in this country who are
not in school and who are drifting
into crime and delinquency. Authori-
tative reports from school authorities
as to the number of high school and
college graduates who find employ
ment give credence to Mr.. Minehan's
assertion. The handwriting is on the
wall and if we do not heed it we will
have only ourselves to blame.
Minnesota bankers in increasing

training to every child in the state.
In recent years, however, economic
conditions prevented a number of chill
dren from attending school. To COM
bat this the State Executive Council
made available $216,OOO to help needy
high school pupils. The Federal
Youth program does not make high
school students eligible for aid; only
those in college may share in its
benefits. Minnesota believes in edu-
cation and will see to it that its
youngsters have an opportunity to
learn.

Those who have not seen the state
capitol grounds for five years would
never recognize them today. Under
special orders from Governor Olson a
highly successful attempt has been
made to beautify the grounds. New
trees, hedges, flowers and grass have
been planted. The newest develop
ment is the hedge which is being
planted in front of the state office
building. When the tasty landscap-
ing has been completed the Gopher
States capitol grounds will be second

vestment field, Prof. Lunden is able to
give complete and impartial analysis
of various bond issues, whether Of
governmental bodies or private corpo-
ratiOnS.
Too often the average banker is
not in position to make a complete
analysis himself" Mr.. Benson said.
LAS a result many banks, especially
the smaller institutions, often have
been forced to buy blindly or to rely
on information sources having an in
terest in the sale of the particular
issue involved. Bond purchases made
on such information may not always
be in the best interests of the banker
or of the public he serves"
Prof. Lunden makes no attempt to
tell the investor which bonds to buy;
he merely aims to give an impartial
report, so that the investor may have
a sound basis for selecting bonds suit
ed to his investment needs.
In three days last week squad of
seven state highway patrol officers
tested the brakes on 2,455 automobiles
and checked the drivers license of
each motorist at the same time. With
20 patrolmen carrying on such activ-
tiles throughout the state it is easily
seen that it pays the average motorist
to keep his car in good condition. car
ry his drivers license at all times
and obey the traffic laws. The patrol
keeps a special lookout for drivers
whose licenses have been suspended
or revoked but who try to continue
driving in defiance of the law.
