Mrs. Alice B. johnson of the Fed

reported that the canvassers had inter-
viewed 5,102 property owners, and OBJ
tanned 1,43O pledges. The report COW
cred activity through Thursday.
The force of workers was Increased
by 10 during the week, bringing the
total number of canvassers to 112.
However, only about SIS men work each
day as the force Is divided into two
shifts. Believing that the number Of
workers is still too small to properly
canvass the city, officials Of the CAM

so additional men within the next
week.
The local Better Housing Campaign,
it was announced, is sponsoring q

BUILDING BOOMS
IN MONTGOMERY
Figures Reveal Home Con-
struction Is Nearly Double
That of Last Year.
BY E. X. STABLER.
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

ROCKVIL L E, Md, March 3d.
Montgomery County is the scene of
home building activity such as it has
not known since the depression.
Information obtained from the Of
flee of the county building inspector
reveals that the amount expended for
building construction for the year end
ing March Is is nearly twice as much
as last years construction total, which
in turn showed q So per cent gain
over that of the preceding year. This
is exclusive of the county's s880,000
public building construction program
now nearing completion.
Real estate men In the eastern and
western suburban areas, where the
major part of the activity is taking
place, are jubilant over the recent
gains and point to indications of still
more rapid increase during the Spring
and Summer months. A number Of
them report more construction busi-
ness in the past four months than we
have had in the past four years."
Total Is s2,31s,7o5.
The county building construction to-
tai for the year ending March IS is
s2,319.705, which is a gain of 81 ,049 ,379
over the $1,270,326 figure of March IS,
1888, to March IS, 1884. This increase
is also represented by issuance of SIT
building permits within the past year
as compared with the total of 288 for
the year 1888 to 1884.
Apportionment of the construction
activity in the three county areas is as
follows: Eastern suburban area, $685. =
455 and 357 permits in the past year
as against s338,3l0 and II permits in
the year preceding; western suburban
area, $1,234,500 and 268 permits

against $824,091 and 199 permits for
the prior year; upper county area, SS5,-
750 and So permits against $107,925
and u permits for 1s33-1s34.
The decreased activity in the upper
county area is more than Offset by
the rapid increase in the two suburban
areas represented by gain in the total
number of permits for the three areas,
which is 3S9, or a gain Of approximate
ly $50 per cent over the 1933-1934
permit total.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-The at

win more than 500 week alimony
from Crooner Rudy Vallee came TO
an abrupt end in Supreme Court
today when Justice Salvatore A
Gothic dismissed her plea after an
acrimonious argument with Mrs
Vallee's counsel.
In a bitter exchange with Ben
iamin A. Hartstein, of Mrs. Vallee S
counsel, the Judge demanded the
attorney swear to allegations IN an
affidavit he sought to submit at
the opening of court. Hartsteln re-
fused.
The judge said:
There have been too many sour
rilous statements already in this
case"
The attorney Immediately started
TO offer a motion to disqualify
Justice Gothic from the case.
II will grant your motion to dis
qualify me provided you will swear
bv the material in the affidavit
which you now submit" the court
ruled.
Hartstein refused to swear, NUT
tering something about what /

Judge, denying the disqualification
motion.

ADMIRAL LAUDS
FLEETS WORK
Rescue to Go Down in
Annals as Remarkable
Feat, Sem Asserts.
BY ADMIRAL THOMAS J. Sem
Commandant 18th Naval District
| AS Told to The United Press

Copyright 1885. by United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.-The
rescue last night of at least all but
two of the survivors from the
dirigible Macon will probably go
down in the annals and archives of
the United States Navy as one of its
greatest feats.
I sincerely feel that in my 48
years as a member of the Navy, 1
have never seen such a feat per-
formed under conditions which I
know were anything but favorable
for such a task as confronted the
officers and men of the United
States battle fleet.
At first 1 had grave fears for
the safety of the men aboard the
Macon. But when we heard the
ship was down some IA miles off
Point Sur, was confident the men,
berS of the battle fleet, en- route to
San Francisco from San Diego
would perform AS Navy men are &C
cuStomed to.
What could have happened to the
Macon do not know. The weather
was bad in the vicinity and she could
have met any one of a thousand
accidents that ships sailing in the
air are likely to encounter.
Perhaps we shall never know, as
was the case of the Akron which
crashed into the Atlantic.
To Commander Wiley offer my
sincere congratulations. I am sure
that in the face of such danger he
had the lives of his men in minc
and landed the ship on the ocean in
such manner that the fleet was able
to rescue most of the survivors.

bility from the standpoint of his
own criminal record in Germany.
Defense counsel objected strenu-
ously to certain portions of Justice
Trenchard's charge, particularly in
volving PROOF that the child was
taken down the ladder from the
nursery.
Frederick A. Pope, associate at
torney for Hauptmann, argued at
length, in a conference at the bench,
on the question of proof of death.
He was overruled on motion to
bring the jury in again and revise
his charge, and the defense took
general exception to the charge.
Points to Stock Dealings
During his instructions he suggest
ed that weight could be given to the
evidence. that after Col. Lindbergh
had paid $4,000 to the Bronx GEM
etery extortioner, the defendant be-
gan dealing more heavily in stocks
than usual"
The kidnap ladder, he said
seems unquestionably to have been
used in the crime" Turning to the
so-called kidnap-ladder,~ Justice
Trenchard made strong charge.
He said:
IF you find that the defendant
built it (the LADDER it seems like
ly that it was used in reaching the
nursery. That the ladder was there
seems unquestioned. If it was not
there for that purpose, why was it
there? There is evidence the de-
PENDANT built the ladder, although
he denies it,
Final Pleas NeutraliZed
Justice Trenchard pointed out to
the Jury that it had been brought
out in court that Hauptmann pre-
viously had been convicted of crime.
THE defendants own evidence"
Justice Trenchard said, "is not to
be rejected because of his interest,
but it may be considered by you
whether he is telling the truth. 1t
appears that on examination in
court, the defendant has before
been convicted ard you may con-
slider that solely to question his
credibility as a witness"
Attorneys for both state and de-
Tense expected a quick verdict.
Both sides had given their all to
convict and exonerate the taciturn
Teuton who served in the Kalser's
arm as a machine gunner. Edward
j. Reilly and Mr. Wilentz made the
final summations for defense and
state, both so forceful. so appealing
to emotions, that many observers
believed they effectively neutralized
one another, leaving the jury to
Judge only by the mass of circuln-
stantial evidence introduced against
Hauptmann-and the defense evil
dence designed to prove a reason
