HAUPTMANN FUND
TO GUIDE APPEAL
Autobiography May Bring
Money to Carry Case to
Supreme Court.
By the Associated Press.


SOMERVILLE, N. j., October ia
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's defense
attorneys emphasized last night that
future steps in their new drive to save
the convicted murderer of Charles A.
Lindbergh, jr., from the electric chair
depend to a large extent on the pub
lies response to another appeal for
funds.
C. Lloyd Fisher, who met with Fred
erick A. Pope and Egbert Rosecrans
in Pope's Office here, said the defense
fund previously collected was depleted,
and pointed out that an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court will cost
large amount.
Hopeful for Review.
The attorneys expressed confidence,
however, that the Supreme Court
would grant Hauptmann a review.
They said Hauptmann's confidence,
temporarily shaken when the Court
of Errors and Appeals. New Jerseys
highest tribunal, upheld his convic-
ton, was restored and that he told
them something inside me tells me
its going to come out all right"
At their 40-minute conference they
decided their first step would be an
application for a stay of the enforce
ment of the New Jersey courts judg-
ment pending the Supreme Court ap-
peal.
The defense attorneys said they had
not yet decided whether to secure the
services of constitutional lawyer for
the Supreme Court appeal. 1t was
indicated, however, that Rosecrans,
who argued his first case before the
high court 20 years ago, would handle
the task. He is the only one of the
trio qualified to appear before the
United States tribunal.
Cost Enumerated.
In speaking Of the cost of the ap-
peal, Fisher said the whole record of
the trial must be printed again, along
with the record of appeal proceedings
and the decision of the Court of
Errors and Appeals. His immediate
job, he said, will be that of disposing
OF Hauptmann's autobiography, wit

DON JUAN WEEDS
+. HIS ROYAL COUSIN
Nobility Witnesses Simple
Ceremony of Spanish Heir
Pretender at Rome.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, October I2.-Don Juan Of
Bourbon, heir pretender to the Spanish
throne, and his cousin, the Infanta
Maria de Ia Esperanto of Bourbon.
Sicile. were married today in the
presence of one of the greatst modern
assemblages Of nobility.
The ceremony was held In the his
toric church of Maria Degeli Angel,
which Michelangelo long ago converted
from old Roman baths into a monas-
terry.
Alfonso Is Cheered.
Thousands of persons cheered If the
vast, sun-bathed piazza outside the
church as Juan and his bride arrived,
and former King Alfonso, father Of
the bridegroom, shared in the burst Of
the monarchists' enthusiasm.
Absent was former Queen Victoria
of Spain, who because of differences
with her husband remained away from
her sons wedding as she did from that
of Beatriz in January.
Pickets of Fascist Blackshirts COM
posed guard of honor.
The ceremony itself, held in a set
ting of brilliant dress uniforms and
the respondent purple and crimson
robes of the Catholic episcopacy. was
extremely simple.
Bridegroom Is %
Cardinal Ella Della Costa, Arch
bishop of Florence, received the
couples VOWS, blessed them and re-
tired to the vestry. The couple then
left the church amid great applause
and turned to worship in st. Peters.
Juan, who is %, had been studying
law for the last year at the University
in Florence. He was a student at
the Naval School, in San Fernando and
served as cadet in the Naval School
in Dartmouth.
The wedding eliminated romance
which has bloSSomed since a childhood
acquaintance in Spain. The princess
is one year younger than the prince.
Persistent reports said honeymoon
plans include trip around the world
and a brief visit in the United States.

restrictions on movement Of arms and
ammunition to Ethiopia.
This opinion was expressed openly
in Rome, where authoritative sources
said:
I'VE don't want to buy arms our
selves. At least, the raising of the
embargo on Ethiopia will please for
eign ornaments manufacturers who
have been working for this object for
some time.
Nevertheless, they will have to
settle on credit as we do not suppose
there is much money in Ethiopia"
Italian officials declined to disclose
that nations exact capacity for pro-
ducing its own war supplies.
1t was recalled, however, that the
wartime Cornigliano-Cogne steel COM
bine was reconstructed by orders of
Premier MuSsolini on September g.,
1884, in a move toward industrial re-
covery and for national defense.
The combine included the Cogne
Iron Mines and most of the steel
plants of the Cogne Co. in the AoSta
Valley. During the Great War these
plants manufactured materials for
construction of 1000 field guns a
month as well as materials for naval
building and munitions.
Britain Exports Unchanged.
The lifting of the arms embargo
against Ethiopia was expected gener-
ally to make little difference in the
amount of arms sent to the East
African empire from Great Britain.
Authorities pointed out that, under
the system of licensing now in effect,
any firm wishing to send arms to
Ethiopia would have to apply to the
Board of Trade.
There has been no such application
in the last few months. Because of
Ethiopia'S reported lack of the neces-
sary credits, it was believed British
arms manufacturers had received no
orders from Ethiopia.
French officials said they were
maintaining close control of their
supplies of munitions, ornaments and
raw materials used for warfare in
view of European echoes from the
Italian Ethiopian conflict.

Reich to Keep Arms.
The German official attitude re-
manned constant-that the third
Reich was unwilling to sell arms or
ammunition to either Italy or Ethi-
opia because with our new army,
we ourselves need all we can manu-
facture."
An official spokesman expressed this
view, but said other materials essen
tial to war-making presented differ
ent question.
If Austria keeps its doors open to
such commodities as coal, machinery
and chemicals, they could easily pass
from Germany to Italy through Aus
trian territory.
1t was fully realized at Berlin that
an increased market in these mater
ials would tighten appreciably the
Reich's foreign exchange difficulties,
providing Italy could pay for a good
percentage of the supplies with cash.
Economic experts believed, for in.
stance, that Germany would accept
half cash and make othe9 arrange
ments with Italy for the balance.

aircraft guns furnished by great
white powers.
TT means also that Italy will be
obliged to make greater military
effort which may weaken her capacity
to come to the aid of Europe, If for
example any attack on Austria's in
dependence would create a new war
menace"
Economic experts were busy with
plans to wreck II Duce's export trade.
League authorities said this aim
might be achieved by closing the har-
bors of member states throughout the
world to any ship flying the Italian
flag.

Machinery Begins to Work.
After the Leagues general staff for
sanctions removed all restrictions on
flow of arms and ammunitions to
Ethiopia, clamped an arms embargo
on Italy and appointed a subcom-
mittee to study a financial boycott
against the Fascist nation yesterday,
Eden said:
1.-THE machinery has begun to work"
Eden, in his drive to help Emperor
Halle Selassie obtain arms to defnd
his domain, was supported energet-
ically by G. Howard Ferguson, chief
Canadian delegate, who demanded of
the Leagues Coordination Commit
tee that 1--WE get down to business"
The burning question was whether
the embargo should include prohibi-
tons Of sale to Italy Of key prod
ucts which might be used in manufac-
ture Of ornaments and munition.
Canada sells a large quantity Of
nickel to Italy. Russia sells man
ganese ore, and Russia, Rumania and
Venezuela sell petrol.
An embargo on such products would
involve for those nations a consider
able financial loss which others would
not have to bear.
Whether it would be possible to dis
tribute these sacrifices among the ma
lions in general was a question to be
discussed.
Statistics showed that Italy's main
source Of coal supply lay in Great
Britain, Germany and Poland and
that most of its petrol came from
Russia, Rumania, the United States,
Persia and Venezuela.
Italy gets raw cotton from the
United States, Egypt, British India

sitions on the Jijiga road, where a
great fight looms.
In his interview with this CORE
spondent, the governor of Harar talked
freely for the first time since the
1talo- Ethiopian crisis arose.
THE Italians are not soldiers" he
said. "They cannot fight like our
people. They are fantastic and dis
gushing. Our men at Gorahai during
the gassing felt like chained prisoners.
One of them told me, What could we

lars and mountain lads had to flee at
the first touch of gas"
Awaiting Report on Gas.
The Governor is awaiting a report
as to the composition of the gas.
His own unfamiliarity with gas war
fare was shown in his perfect willing
ness to admit his ignorance of chem
icals.
Il don't know about such inhuman
things as gas warfare" he said, so
how can I tell you what composed
the gas? I come from a nation and a
race Of great fighters. but we are not

From the Governors description,
this observer would conclude that the
Italians are using a new gas, COM
bining the properties of both phos-
gene gas and mustard gas. This
correspondent was confident that the
Ethiopian lines at Gorahai would be
gassed because the terrain is insult

ALL ARMS EXPORTS
TO Be SCRUT|N|zED|
Customs Agents in Even
Neutral Nations to Aid
in U. S. Check-up.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Customs officials said today that
any large munitions shipments which
may be made to neutral countries
while Italy and Ethiopia are at war
will be scrutinized most carefully.
They pointed out that the Customs
Bureau has agents in European CEN
tiers who could assist in determining
whether such exports were legitimate
or destined for reshipment to the bel
ligerents in violation of the embargo
imposed by President Roosevelt.
There also is a possibility, it was
said, that informers in this country
might receive substantial compensa-
ton for any embargo violations they
may detect.
The Italo-Ethiopian war continued
today to arouse much interest among
those few legislators who are in
Washington. One leader, Chairman
McReynolds of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, saw possibility
that other European nations might
conceivably be drawn into the con-
fict.
Neutral Stand Seen.
McReynolds was emphatic, however
in predicting that this Nation will
maintain a firm neutral stand re-
gardless of what happens abroad.
He said he did not think the
League of Nations stand in permit
ting arms shipments to Ethiopia
while denying them to Italy should
affect this country's position.

Though attorneys for the Customs
