Wilentz changed his attack on the
doctors testimony again.
@. So your process will produce
prints for six months or a year?
A. Yes.
The doctor was led through an ex-
PLANTATION of the effect of atmospheric
conditions on the prints.
Wilentz recited conditions existing
at the Lindbergh estate on the Sour
land Mountain on the kidnap night,
asking the witness what effect these
would have on prints on the ladder.
DR.. Hudson said the effect would
be very slight.
@. So the part of the ladder laying
on the ground would be affected?
A. Yes.
@. And there would be no finger
prints?
A. No flngerprints.
Wilentz inquired If dampness on
parts of the ladder would destroy
more prints. The physician said
probably yes"
@. If it did get wet, the f1ngerprints
would be destroyed? A. From my
own knowledge, yes.
Wilentz sought to bring out that
the atmospheric conditions on the
kidnap night might have wet the
ladder and destroyed the prints. DR..
Hudson said that would only make
the ladder damp, and he meant soak
ing" wet when he spoke of wet.
@. Assuming for moment that
there were prints on the ladder and
others were superimposed by later
handling, the originals would be
obhterated? A. No. Some part Of
them would remain.
@. But if q hand was placed right
over these prints they would be
obscured? A. Yes.
Attacks Finding
OF 500 Prints on Ladder.
DR.. Hudson's estimate of more
than 500 hngerprints" on the ladder
was attacked by Wilentz.
@. Did you count them? A. said
about 500.
@. Did you see them after the
ladder was processed? A. Yes.
@. Did you see the photographs Of
the prints2 A. No.
@. You never testified in a trial
before as fingerprint expert?
A. Yes. for the Department OF
Justice.
@. But as chemical expert, not q
finrernrint eYnnrt2
A. was classified as a fingerprint
expert. u
Q. But for testimony on the
chemistry?
A. For classification.
@. But If there we're 500 or 5000
fingerprints ON that ladder when you
proceSSed it, would you say any OF
them were there on March !?
A. I would say some were there.
Hudson said he would get the prints
Of every one who handled the ladder
and eliminate all Of their prints.
@. Don't you know Trooper Kelly
handled that ladder and your process
never brought out his fingerprints?
A. No, think he always wore gloves
handling the ladder.
Q. Don't you know Sergt. Kubler
(another State police fingerprint Of
f1cer) handled that ladder, and your
process never developed his prints?
A. I think he wore gloves.
@. And don't you know Col. Lind
bergh handled that ladder without
gloves and your process never brought
out his prints?
A. T didn't know that.
Q. Don't you know that Kelly,
Kubler and Col. Lindbergh handled
that ladder without gloves?
A. I only knew Kelly and Kubler
handled it.
Wilentz went back to the nail holes.
q. Pick out the nail hole you
found In the ladder?
A. I'm sure that's it (the witness

condition.
The sandy haired witness recalled
there was no limit on the amount Of
American money a traveller could
bring into Germany when he and
Fisch arrived there in December, 1888.
He explained, however, that to ex-
change dollars for marks, a traveller
bureau.
Uhlig described a travelling bag
bought by Fisch.
@. What did he have in it?
A. don't know.
Reilly asked Uhlig to describe how
Fisch acted when he was being
examined by the immigration inspec-
tors at Hamburg. WilentZ objected
and was upheld.
Justice Trenchard ordered the
luncheon recess at 1888 pm.
The defense was near the end Of its
case, counsel indicated, with the tes-
timony of wood experts expected to be
presented during the afternoon ses-
sion.
Court convened at las pm.
Uhlig returned to the stand after
the noon recess.
Reilly resumed examination about
the trip to Europe with Fisch.
UhIig said that on arrival they went
to the home Of Fisch's parents.
O. Did you at any time see Fisch
! give his sister any papers?
A. No, sir.
@. Sure about that?
A. Yes.
Saw Suit Cases
In Hauptmann Garage.
Wilentz objected to Reillys query
whether there were times when FiSch
and his family were together and he
was not present.
Uhlig said he visited the family only
twice a week.
@. Did you ever see any bundles in
Fisch's possession?
| A Yes.
@. Did he have two suit cases.
| A. Yes.
@. He took them to Hauptmann.
A. Yes; I went down in the garage
and saw them.
@. You take them?
A. don't remember.
@. In particular you went for
little small package Fisch left with
him?
Reilly was striving to bring back into
the picture the ransom money shot
box, but the State objected TO tht
question and was sustained.
The defense chief then inquired
whether Fisch spoke with a Saxor
dialect. Uhlig said he did, explaining
Fisch had been born in Saxony.
@. And he wrote, did he not, with
a Saxon script?
A. Yes.

AAA Program Beneficial to Both Agricultural
and City Labor, Chief Executive Says in Chi
cago Speech.

Chicago (ILNS)-Speaking before
the American Farm Bureau here,
President Roosevelt made ringing
defense of the AAA. He pointed out
that the buying power of farm crops
had increased from less than so per
cent of normal in 1882 to more than
80 per cent in 1885. He claimed the
larger part Of this improvement was
due to the farm program, managed
by the AAA.
Harking back to conditions as they
were when he took office, the presi-
rent said, in part;
Two things were at that time es-
pecially clear. First, that because of
almost unbelievably low prices for
farm products the growers of those
products could not meet their indebt-
edness, could not pay their taxes.
could not meet the living expenses of
their families.
''The other fact was that in most
major crops a constantly accumulat-
ing surplus had reached such absurd
ly high levels that crop price levels

FERA HEAD
Sees 175,000 New Homes
Built i'm '36

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-About
175,000 new homes will be built in
the United States next year, accord
ing to the estimates of Steward Nc
Donald, federal housing administra-
tor. AS start on this record, he adds
that the FLA has put out about $780,
100000 this year. And that does not
include a sum more than twice as
large which has been spent on home
modernization and repair which was
rot insured by FILA.
Residential construction has been
revived to such an extent" said Mr..
Mcdonald, that authorities in that
field are predicting boom. The worst
of the old home financing abuses
which in effect were methods of tax
ing homes away from people have
been eliminated,
The home financing system has
been put on a sound basis that will
weather future financial storms, and is
enabling the home renter to become
a home owner"
The resettlement administration has
just announced that it will construct
a S10,ooo,0o0 model green belt com
munity at Mount Healthy, near Gin
cinnati. It viii provide low-rent
housing for the families Of / 500 work
ers. Schools, stores, Fairgrounds and
other facilities will be provided; and
when the project is completed, it will
be turned over to a non-profit corpor-
alton for management.
About 1000 men will be employed
at this project at the peak,

could not possibly rise until some
thing was done to cut down to rea-
sonable level the bulging surplus
which overhung the market"
The rise in farm buying power
had stimulated all industry, Pres
ident Roosevelt declared. He ad-
mitted that food prices to con-
sumers have, in many instances,
gone up higher than there is any
reason for; and spoke of the "de-
preston profiteers" who reap
these unfair gains. But he in
sisted that the broad effect of the
AAA program has been good for
both farmers and city workers;
and that only the national gov
ernment has wide enough reach
to cover the field.
The speech is believed to derive an
added significance from the fact that
while the president was giving strong
endorsement to the AAA, the SD
pfeme court was hearing a case on
the constitutionality of that act.

GREEN CALLS
ON INDUSTRY
To Cooperate With Labor
In Putting Idle to Work

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, declared in q
statement that business rise half
way to normal had re-employed but
one-fourth of the unemployed.
He called on business to cooperate
with labor in solving the crisis.
Green presented revised fedora
tion statistics indicating l1,647, ,00o
persons still without jobs in October,
He estimated that approximately
100000 of this number were en-
ployed under the works progress drive.
sThe fact remains" he said, "that
while business has recovered more
than half of it's depression decline,
we still have more than 11,500,0 ,0OO
persons unemployed in this country
From March, 1888, to October
1885, industry has created 5,657 900
jobs, In the same period, however,
the number of persons seeking work
has increased by 1,564,00O.
"These figures are clarion call
to action. They show that unless in
dustry, in cooperation with labor, is
willing to face this problem and pro-
vide work for the unemployed, society
will be forced to take some other
means to give these millions their
rightful chance to earn their liveli-
hood"
The figures, Green added, are a
challenge to society to see to it that

GREEN ASKS
PUNISHMENT
Of Men Guilty in Tampa
Flogging Case

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-De-
manding strict investigation of the
brutal tarring and fogging of three
men at Tampa, Florida, President
William Green, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, threatened that the
1886 national convention of the fed
GRAFTON would not be held at Tampa
unless persons guilty of the fiogging
were punished.
President Green asked Wandell
Heaton, president of the Florida State
Federation of Labor, to investigate
the case, which involves three MEM
bers of the Florida Workers Alliance,
beaten after being abducted in front of
the Tampa police station on December
2. The men had been arrested while
attending private meeting in the
home of a member of the organiza-
ton. Joseph Shoemaker, one of the
men, was so badly injured that he
died. The two other victims were
seriously hurt.
After being grilled in the police
station as to alleged communist SYM
pathies, the men were released, only
to be abducted and taken outside the
city and beaten. The victims charge
police completely in the attack and
legal action against the police is con-
templated. The Central Trades and
Labor Council, Chamber Of Commerce
and other organizations have protest
ed against the attack on the men.
Following conference with a rep
sentative Of the labor and socialist
defense committee and the Rev. James
Myers, industrial secretary of the
Federal Council of Churches, who laid
the facts of the Tampa case before
him, President Green issued state
ment in which he said:
Preliminary reports show three
workers who have been active in pro-
noting the interests of labor and cap
ital were kidnapped, fogged, and
subjected to shocking, brutal treat
ment. One died as a result of the
attack.
"The American Federation of La
Dor will insist and demand that a
full investigation be made by the
Tampa authorities and those found
guilty of the perpetuation of the out
rage be properly punished.
unless a thorough and complete
investigation is made and those found
guilty of the alleged acts of brutality
are punished in accordance with law,
it is altogether probable that the
American Federation of Labor may
find it necessary to change the hold
ing of the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor In Novem-
Der, 1886, to some other city where
working men and women are properly
protected, and the exercise Of the
rights conferred upon them by the
laws Of the land are fully recognized" !"

Judge Finds Strike Leader
Guilty on Contempt Charge

Potosi, Mo. (ILNS)- Counsel for
Joe Morris, labor leader active in
organizing a strike of tiff miners
here last summer, announced that his
conviction on charges of criminal con-
tempt of court would be appealed as
a test case to the Missouri supreme
court.
Circuit Judge Frank Kelly, of Cape
Girardeau, sitting in the case in the
place of Judge E. Dearing, found Nor
ris guilty of contempt for asserting
publicly that Judge Dearing should be
impeached, and fined Morris $50. The
defendant is free under $500 bond
The incident arose during the
strike, when Morris addressed a strike
meeting in protest against Judge
Bearings issuance of an injunction
against the strikers. Morris testified
at the hearing, admitting he made
such a speech.
originally Che case was Scneduleu 10
come up on November II before Judge
Dearing, himself, who made the
charges against Morris. On a motion
of Victor P. Harris, counsel for the
miner, Judge Dearing finally agreed
to disqualify himself, though only
after denouncing the defense attor-
ney.

WOMEN
Must Live on SO a Month
Pay

Rossville, Ga. (ILNS)-Discrimi-
nation by employers for union mem
bership and activity is matched by
discrimination by the government for
living in Rossville, women workers
on the Rossville sewing relief project
charge.
In letters of protest to Works
Progress Administrator Hopkins at
Washington, the women, many of
them victims of employer discrimina-
ton in the Richmond Hosiery Com
pany strike and the general textile
strike, point out they work 140 hours
a month for $40, while women work
ers in Chattanooga, Tenn, of which
Rossville, Ca, is a suburb, are paid
$55 for the same work and hours
The women also reveal they are
made to furnish their own sewing
machines, needles and oil and are as
sessed to help pay for fuel to warm
the building in which they work, in
addition to tax to pay the rent of
the building.
Frank Lynch, active member of
the Rossville Hosiery Workers
Union, also points out in a letter
to Hopkins that the women work
ers pay out of their $19, So for
house rent, $3.50 water and cleo
tricity and must care for them
selves, sick members Of their
family and their children, out of
the balance.
Local relief administrators only
give them the runaround, Lynch as
serts in asking Hopkins to reclassify
Rossville in order to end the discrimi-
nation between Chattanooga and
Rossville workers.

U. S. Corporation Licensing
Urged to Ban Oil War Deals

Washington, d. C. (LINS)-"Noth-
ing could more clearly illustrate the
necessity for a federal system of
charters and licenses for corpora
tions engaged in foreign commerce
or commerce among the states than
the report from Rome that the Stand
ard Oil Company has entered into an
agreement with Italy to supply that
country with oil from the fields of its
foreign subsidiaries" Senator Joseph
O'Mahoney, of Wyoming, said here.
II have no doubt" he continued,
that the disclaimance of Mr.. Teagle
is altogether accurate, but whether
or not the Italian dispatches are cor
rect, the fact remains that as it is
now constituted under state charter
the Standard Oil Company and num-
erous other large corporations can
and do enter into agreements with
foreign agencies, vitality affecting the
commerce power of congress and over
which the federal government now
exercises no supervision whatever.
"The constitution of the United
States specifically provides that no
state shall, without the consent of
congress, enter into any agreement
or compact with another state or with
a foreign power The corporate sys-
tenn of the United States and of the
world, for that matter, has so devel-
oped that these industrial and COM
mercial unities which are created by

ercise powers which no state would
attempt to exercise.
American corporations have grown
to such enormous size that many of
them have wealth and power exceed
ing that of many of the states of the
union. Their influence for good or

reaching and inescapable that it is
imperative in the public interests to
have federal corporation law"

JOHNSON Sees
LOWER WAGES,
CHILD LABOR
Court Action, Along
With Coughlin And
Long, Will Raise
He'll He Says

NEW YORK, May 2s.-P-Gen-
eral Hugh s. johnson predicted
Tuesday that a return of sweat
shops and child labor was entire
ly likely because of the supreme
courts overthrow Of MIRA codes.
Many concerns will cut wages
Tuesday" said the former NRA ad-
ministrator. Il don't know that
the decision will result in the loss
Of all the benefits Of the NRA, but
there is nothing to prevent IT,"
After studying the courts opin-
ion until early Tuesday morning,
johnson asserted there was no
thing to prevent a general move TO
abandon hour, wage and other
standards set up in the codes. He
warned that such action might re-
suit in a serious situation"
The decision, he declared, added
enough fuel to the feelings arous-
ed by Long. Coughlin. Townsend
and others like them TO just raise
hell He predicted Il would have
4di~ -I6dCAlAlB CllCCIS Ol OlLlCI new
deal legislation.
TT may knock out the Wagner
bill and the Connery 30-hour bill, =
he said. and probably knocks the
AAA out except for benefit pay
ments."
Asked what he thought should
be done, Johnson said n solution
would be to write into the law a
complete code for every industry.
This. he said, was impossible at
the time the NRA was originated,
but could be done now because of
the experience gained under the
NRA.
This move. he explained, would
meet the courts objection TO the
delegation Of power by congress TO
the president to determine stand
ards Of fair trade"
While deploring the effects OF
the decision, johnson said he was
not surprised by it.
Under the facts and circums-
tances a presented" he stated,
''the supreme court could not have
decided the case in any other
way"
He said 1T was the worst pos
sible' ease that could have been
chosen for a test and that the ar
guments presented by NRA attCl-
news did not express the "philo-
sophy of the act" as he understood
It.
