BROOKHART LINKS
LANDON WITH OIL
IoWan Claims Kansan Is
Standards Candidate.
Comes Out for Borah.

b. the Associated Press.
Former Senator Smith w. Brook
hart, Iowa Republican independent,
said in a statement today that Gov
ALI NJ. Landon of Kansas was the
STANDARD Oil" candidate for Presi-
dent.
Demanding progressive" Repub-
lican nominee, Brookhart said Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho, and lin lesser
degree" Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan, might fill that bill"
But Landon, the Iowan said, "is
the Standard Oil Gugsa set up to
carry the West for President" He
explained his "Gugsa" reference was
to. Halle Selassie's son-in-law, who
has joined forces with the Italians.
"Landon got rich in oil" Brookhart
added. His tax relief has been for
the big fellows and not the little fell
lows. I'll be able later to produce
positive evidence he is being supported
for the presidency by the Standard
Oil companies"
Says Progressive Necessary.
Brookhart, who was for some time a
trade adviser and farm expert in the
Roosevelt administration after his SEN
atorial service, warned the Republicans
that to carry the West they must not
only nominate a Progressive" but
present. better farm plan than the
A. A. A.
mo Republican candidate can win
on mere criticism of the A. A. A." he
said.
Referring to Landon again, Brook
hart said:
He has no definite and specific farm
program, is just playing foxy, agreeing
with anything you say about the
agricultural question in order to cap
ture the farm vote.
LAS far as 1 am concerned, would
like to see the Republican party re-
vived on a progressive platform with
a progressive candidate, but it must
be on the square.
Among the candidates so far who
might fill that bill are Borah and, In
Q less degree, Vandenberg.
..- None Yet Announced.
None of the three men he men
toned has declared his candidacy
Borah has said Il can't say won't
run; Vandenberg has asserted he il
mot a candidate for anything" anc
Landon, by silence, has followed thu
traditions of former President Cool
idge, to whom he is compared b!
some.
In the Senate, Brookhart was ont
Of the little group of Republican in
dependents who opposed many Hoover
administration policies. Borah, 6
member of the same group, supported
Brookhart for reelection when th'
1owan was defeated in 1882.
Borah also supported Vandenbers
for reelection last year and has Ions
been friendly with him.

.HAUPTMANN CLUE
REPORTS PERSIST
Ridiculous" Jafsie Calls
Prisoners Plea for
Statement.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., November 81
Reports that new clues have been
found in the Lindbergh kidnapping case
persisted today despite official express
sisns of disbelief.
An appeal by Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann, convicted murderer of the Lind
bergh baby, for 'full' statement by
DR.. John F. Condor, the "Jafsie" of
the ransom negotiations, stirred fur
ther interest.
Hauptmann's appeal, issued from his
death house cell here, said DR.. Condor
''is holding the key in this case and
with it the key Of my cell"
Still Working on Case.
DR.. Condor, it was recalled. told
a professional women's club in Boston
week ago he was still working on
the case, because there are some
things We wish to clear"
The new clues report was by man
described as an investigator for Haupt-
mann, who said that ION unimpeach-
able authority, despite denials Of po-
lice" approximately $7o0 in ransom
money has been received by the Boston
Federal Reserve Bank since Haupt-
mann was arrested.
He also said letter had been found
in a house near Ashby, Mass, dated
March 10, 1882. 10 days after the
kidnapping, which said: why don't
you return that poor little Lindbergh
baby? You have had it long enough. "
The supposed investigator said the
same house was found to contain wood
Of 1.-The same type" used in the kidnap
ladder, which the prosecution con-
tended Hauptmann used in taking the
Lindbergh child
j. Edgar Hoover. chief Of the Bureau
of Investigation Of the Department OF
Justice, asserted in Washington, he
knew nothing of new ransom bills.
Fisher Denies Developments.
C. Lloyd Fisher, attorney for Haupt-
mann, said nothing whatever has de-
veloped in Massachusetts,. We have
no letters that match the handwriting
notes, no wood that matches the lad
der, no toys, no nothing"
At Worcester, Alonzo B. Yont, a
Boston attorney, said the house where
the purported clues were found was
not built until several months after
the kidnapping was committed.
On his thirty-sixth birthday, yester-
day, Hauptmann was visited by hi:
wife, lawyer and his spiritual adviser
the Rev. D. G. Werner of New York
City.
Mrs. Hauptmann brought new pic
lures of herself and their 2-year- ole

COUNSEL TO ASK
MADDOX HEARING
Accused Woman's Husband Ar
ranges Additional Legal
Assistance.

Attorneys for Mrs. Lillian Maddox,
charged with the murder of Eddie Kill
leen, were laying plans today to de-
mand a preliminary hearing for their
client, who is being held without bond
in the Rockville, Md, Jail.
Stedman Prescott, chief defense
counsel is expected to confer this
afternoon with Attorney Harry Whe-
Ian of Washington, who is acting in
the case at the request Of Johnny
Maddox, the defendants husband.
Despite the fact Mrs. Maddox had
been living with Killeen since the
Summer of 1884, her husband, it was
said, is determined to see that she
is Adequately represented at the trial
on the murder charge.
In their efforts to secure pre-
liminary hearing, it is believed de-
fense counsel are actuated by the
hope of having the charge reduced
from murder to manslaughter, which
would permit the release Of Mrs
Maddox on bond. The judge pre-
siding at a preliminary hearing, 1t
was said, has authority to reduce
the charge If he believes the evidence
does not support the charge of murder,
The defense contends Mrs. Maddox
shot in self defense and that there
is no evidence to justify the placing
of the murder charge against her.
Killeen was shot to death Saturday
in a house near Brookmont, Md. Mrs.
Maddox allegedly told police she fired
the shots after Killeen, 50-year-old
Washington gambling leader, had
beaten her.
Mrs. Maddox, who is IS, said, ac-
cording to police: II shot him be-
cause he beat me, and I would do
1t again."

TT MAY now appear that the boom
ballyhoo from Washington is on.
Official statements lately have
Il exuded a fragrance which may
seem to be fairtly similar to the
sweet-scented handouts of 1929.
First, Chairman Lands of S. E. G.
said publicly there was nothing he
could do about stock prices going up
and up. Then Gov Eccles of F. r. B.
stepped out with an announcement
which was headlined in New York:
"Eccles holds hands off in stock
boom" The new monthly F. r. b.
bulletin announced, few day later,
there was strength in the existing
market situation. The A. F. of L..
tagged along simultaneously with a
prophecy of IAN industrial boom
within the next few years" which ap-
parently left it few years behind.
The only depressing note In all this
encouragement was the warning of
President Gay of the Stock Exchange.
At the time of the Lands statement,
he went on record as bemoaning the
possibilities of stock market boom.
If you will add all these things up,
as most people are doing, you will
most assuredly get the wrong answer.
The other side of these boom balloons
may not be visible to the naked eye,
but there is another side.

True Liberalism Declared

SAN FRANCISCO, November a.
A realistic return to American ideals"
to preserve true American liberalism"
was demanded today by former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover in an address
prepared for delivery at a Junior
Chamber Of Commerce luncheon.
American liberalism is not reg-
mentation," Mr.. Hoover declared. 1T
is not repression. 1t is never coercion
by bureaucrats ."
Liberty has gone down the suicide
road of socialism and fascism in a
score of nations" he said.
The infection of these ideas into
America have brought our Nation to

men.
And here is the clash Of true
American liberalism and its ideals
with these imported social philos-
ophies of government. "''

1T appears that to be a liberal

destiny is destruction. You must have
faith in the efficacy of gigantic spend

waste Of public money. You must
advocate that the Government edge
into a system of Government dictated
monopolies. You must ardently be-
lieve that the Government should GO
into business. You must believe in
vast political bureaucracies."
Characterizing American liberal
ism" as "a great faith and great
philosophy" that grew out of the
American Revolution, Mr.. Hoover de-
clared it is not the possession of any
political party.

surely Americanization requires the

IF in fear and distress We have
been tempted for a time to wander
from the true path, we must return
to it before it is too late. -"
In a world struggling against the
