PRESIDENT BY BEDSIDE OF HIS
 CLOSE FRIEND
Col Louis McHenry Howe
 Very III Man He May \ Not Last

Washington, March 16-(UP)-- President Roosevelt watched today at the bedside of Col. Louis ATc& Henry Howe, his close friend aiIc secretary for 25 years, who is II. of bronchial disorders at the White House. Dr Ross Mcintyre, White House physician, said Howe's con- dition was about the same" as yesterday, when he showed some improvement over earlier in the week. His illness was not revealed until yesterday. Mrs Roosevelt cancelled speaking engagement scheduled for noon today in Bos- ton because of his illness. Howe had been confined to his bed since he accompanied MT Roosevelt to Boston more than two week ago, His bronchial ailment was .compii- cated by 8 heart weakness.
 The 64-year-old secretary had been associated with the President since he was a New York news paper correspondent and MT Roosevelt was a state senator m Albany, in 1910. When MT Roose- welt became too i'll to seek reelec- tion to the state senate, Howe or- ganized his campaign, wrote state-
 
 another term in the state senate for him. He accompanied MT Roosevelt to Washington when the latter became assistant secretary of the navy. He remained con- stant companion throughout MT Roosevelt's illness of infantile paralysis.
 When Mir Roosevelt was elected governor of New York, Howe went back to Albany with him. The ann bition that MT Roosevelt would be- come president of the United States was realized in 1933. Long hours of hard work in the interest of the president injured his health. Small and slender, his health had been the subject of concern for more than year. Mrs Howe, who spends much of her time at Fall River. Mass, joined her husband at the White House week ago.

 Farley himself said nothing as he trod warily through the debris left by some 5000 stamp enthusi- asts. They besieged the post office department all day. yesterday, bor- rowed all the scissors in sight to cut their stamps apart, and sprayed

 They paid $529,S38.95 for these stamps. pasted them on 63,125 en- velopes and mailed them to them selves. This Is an old custom among philatelists and almost as big a nuisance to the mail men as Christmas cards.

DE VALERA SENDS GREETINGS
 TO FRIENDS HERE
President of Irish Free State Tells of Great
 Progress Made
BY EAMON DE VALERA Copyright, 1885, by United, Press)

\COpyrlSnt, lSSOp Dy OHIteu ArcSSl
 Dublin, March 16-(UP) - On the occasion of St. Patrick's day l send greetings to our friends in America.
 During the past year steady progress has been made toward our respective national and eco- homie independence. Our people once more have shown their power of endurance, their unconquerable national will and their sound judg- ment. They have cooperated with the government loyalty in all it's efforts.
 While agriculture in Ireland, as in all countries, continues de- pressed, the rapid expansion of secondary industries here is pro- viding an ever increasing home market for our produce. For ex- ample we are now producing all our requirements in flour and 80 per cent of our sugar requirements. We are producing a large propor- ton of our needs in boots, shoes, woolens, mems clothing and other manufactures. Our. social services have been still further improved and a national housing scheme to provide decent housing conditions for all is being successfully oper- ated.
 Confidence in the future of the country is encouraging the invest ing public to supply the capital needed for our development. Many recent capital issues have beer over-subscribed. Increased railway traffic receipts and fewer bank. ruptcies are indications of the trend of our economic life.
 The advances made in the last three years in the face of external pressure and internal difficulties caused by our hitherto unbalanced national economy give hope fer greater achievements in the next few years.

 at the End

Trenton. N. J., March 16-(UP) -B runo Richard, Hauptmann, murderer of the Lindbergh baby, saw three men go to death last night. He shook hands with them told them Pray to God" and bade them goodbye. He was calm, mat. lter-of-fact. If there is any fm' agination in Hauptmann 1t did not tell him that unless the courts -in- tervene, some months hence he will be led through the same little door that swallowed his three com panions in the death house last night. He betrayed no emotion.
 Connie scarpone, 26, Michael Mule, 24, and George DeStefano, Jr, 25, died in the chair for the murder of John Szczythowski in a holdup in Trenton in 1883. Scar pone lowered himself into the chair and hate surged through him, the last emotion he felt. Are any members of the press here?" he inquired of the audience. "Tell De- tective James De Louis to get John. He's the man that gave us all the trouble" As the mask was low cred over his face he added as an after-thought: Goodbye. every body"
 The death house now has four inmates, including Hauptmann. Those put to death last night were taken from the cells one by one, and on the way to the little door leading to the execution chamber. stopped before the cells of each of those whose time is vet to come, shook hands through the bars and exchanged greetings.
 Hauptmann's eyes were level, his handclasp firm. His interest in the farewell and executions seemed perfunctOry.
 While Executioner Robert FL liott was throwing the switch, three weeping young women huddled to- gether outside the prison entrance. They were being made widows.

 Washington, March 16.-UP)- Postmaster General James A. Farley was convinced today that no natter what you do for stamp collector, he still thinks you're a bum.
 With thousands of philatelists thinking that-and worse-about the P. M. G., his only solace was in the profits of around $2,O00.0OO which he stands to make on his special sale of stamps duplicating the de luxe editions he handed to President Roosevelt, Secretary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes and others.
 The trouble with the duplicates. according to the collectors, was that they didn't duplicate. The purple ones weret % red, they said. the greens. too blue.
 They said that in all the 20 is- sues of commemorative stamps put on sale in ungummed. imperforate sheets. there were important diff fercnces from the original gift stamps which went to Farley's $ friends. Somc of them held even that the first editions still might be worth around $20.000 a sheet. sim
