HAUPTMANN TERM
OF LIFE DISCUSSED
Fawcett Reveals Talk With
Wilentz in Regard to Penalty
in Case of Confession.
BY the Associated Press.

PENNINGTON, N. j.. January II.
james M. Fawcett of Brooklyn,
former counsel for Bruno Hauptmann,
said today he had discussed with At
torney General David T. Wilentz the
possibility of a life sentence for
Hauptmann in the event of q con-
fesSion.
"Wilentz and I once talked over the
possibility of a life sentence rather
than capital punishment for Haupt-
mann In the event that Hauptmann
confessed to the Lindbergh kidnapping, :"
Fawcett said.
THE purpose of our talk was only
to bring about justice in the Lind
bergh kidnapping. So far as am
concerned there Is no indication that
Hauptmann is guilty of the Lind
bergh kidnapping or extortion Of the
Lindbergh ransom.
I'VE thought at the time that with
a confession from Hauptmann pro-
viding, Of course. that he was guilty
we should be able to locate possible
accomplices In the kidnapping"
"I want to emphasize, however"
Fawcett said, that there is nothing
that would mediate that Hauptmann
is guilty Of completely in the Lind
bergh kidnapping"

DISTRICT ELIGIBLE
UNDER SOCIAL BILL
Classified as Estate" for
Purpose of Receiving
Benefits.

The District of Columbia would be
eligible along with the States to re-
ceive Federal aid toward establish
ment of unemployment insurance, old
age pensions and the various other
forms of social security covered by
the Wagner bill embodying the ad-
ministration's social security program.
Throughout the Wagner bill the
term State" is described as meaning
also the District of Columbia.
AS to unemployment insurance and
old age pensions, Congress, of course,
will have to enact local laws to cover
the Districts part of the program,
corresponding to laws State legisla-
lures will have to pass before being
entitled to the Federal aid.
AS to one feature of the program,
home care for dependent children,
the District of Columbia already has
a local law which has been in opera
ton for several years and which ap-
pears to meet the requirements laid
down in the Wagner bill for Federal
assistance. The local law for care of
dCPCildChC C1lllOlSll, lOI ulSIdklCc, has
residence requirement of only one
year, which is one of the conditions
for Federal aid in the Wagner bill.
Steps already have been taken since
Congress convened to start work on
a District old age pension bill and
Chairman King of the District Com
mittee has been waiting for the ma
tional program to be presented so that
the District law can be drafted to
meet the necessary requirements for
Federal cooperation. Last year Sena-
tors Capper of Kansas and Copeland
of New York had separate old age
pension plans for the District, but
they have co-operated this year by
introducing jointly the bill which re-
ceived the approval of the District

ROBERTS COMPANY
DROPS CODE MOVE.
Abandons Injunction Suit
Reply, Sending Case to
Appeals Court.

The Government won an outstand-
ing victory in its first N. r. A. fight
here today when the w. F. Roberts
Co., Washington printers and en-
gravers. abandoned its fight against a
Federal suit for an injunction to pre-
vent alleged violations Of the graphic
arts code.
ference with Assistant United States
Attorneys David A. Pine and John j.
Wilson, who have been prosecuting the
case.
Case to Be Appealed.
F. Regis Noel, representing the
Roberts Co.. announced his client would
withdraw its answer to the Govern
ment's suit and rely on motion to
dismiss previously filed and overruled.
This means the case will be carried
to the Court of Appeals, where the
Roberts Co. will contend as matter
of law that the Government failed to
state an adequate cause Of action in
its suit.
The principal question to be decided
in the Court of Appeals is the con-
stitutionality of the recovery act and
the graphic arts code.
In the meantime, Pine and Wilson
are preparing a decree which, when
signed next week, will result in the
issuance of an injunction forbidding
the company to continue its alleged
code violations.
The suit charged in brief that the
Roberts Co. had violated the code
by failing to pay its employees pre-
scribed minimum wages, by working
them more than the maximum num-
ber of hours fixed in the code. by
failing to pay the prescribed overtime
rate and by failing to post a copy
of the code provisions in its work
shop.
Restrainer Was Asked.
The Government originally asked
for temporary restraining order, but
this request was denied by Justice
Jesse c. Adkins, who held the facts
set forth in the bill Of complaint
did not Justify this relief. The COM
pany then filed a motion asking the
court to dismiss the suit on the ground
the constitutional rights of the COM
pany were violated by the code pro.
visions. This motion was likewise dis
missed after a hearing.
The company then filed its answer
and the case was set for trial today

ever, removed the. necessity for trial
