LIBERTY GROUP
HASPR0GRAM
TO SAVE u. 5.

Accusing the Roosevelt Admin
istration of doing violence" to
the Constitution, the American
Liberty League has offered the in
coming Congress a 12.point legis-
lative program designed Ito put
the Governments house in order"
In vigorous indictment of the
Roosevelt Administration, the
League charged it with gigantic
waste" in handling relief funds,
promoting pet theories of none
tary cranks," responding to 80
cialistic influences" in competing
with private industry, and CAPT.
talizing on the Nations emer-
gency to make Capitalization OF
power in the Federal Government
a permanent policy.
Continued deficit financing
will destroy Government credit
and may lead to chaos and die
tatorship, the League warned in
demanding balanced budget
and repeal of tax laws aimed at
redistribution of wealth."
Dictatorship Seen
Emphasizing adherence to the
Constitution will be the vital issue
in next years election campaign,
the League called upon Congress
to defeat two Threatened"
amendments which would bring
about virtual change in our
form of Government"
These proposals would create an
"unhampered dictatorship" the
league declared, by extending Fed
eral authority Ito permit" COM
plete RECOMMENDATION of industry
and agriculture" and by taking
away the Supreme Courts power
to declare laws unconstitutional.

wife and second son, Jon. were
driven from the United States
by an deliberately organized plot
to kidnap him and his wife and
hold them hostage for the release
Of Hauptmann.
Lait stated that recent threats
against the Lindberghs were made
mot by cranks but by potential
murderers actuated by a desperate
sympathy for Hauptmann."
Lait further said that several
attempts to kidnap Colonel Lind
bergh or his wife or child had
been made. He declared:
THE plot was wild eyed but
1t was no more prepOsterOus
than the original kidnapping and
murder of the Lindbergh child.
1T doesn't stand to reason
that Lindbergh is running from
shadows. There was a definite
organized criminal threat and
such desperate work having
been done before. there is every
good reason to believe that those
people would do it again.
"They were quite ready to
kidnap Mr.. Lindbergh himself,
and had planned and partly
carried out a plot to do that in
order to hold him as hostage
for some mad idea that they
could have cOmmuted or par
dOned the sentence which is to
take the life of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in couple of
weeks"
Efforts to intimidate the Lind
berghs, Lait said, had been utterly
futile. Hauptmann. he went on,
would burn" He added:
HE will burn on time and
on schedule"
Hauptmann is due to die during
the week of January 10.
Lait continued:
"Hauptmann in his cell
Sneeringly deplOres the fact that
the Lindberghs are running
away from a few crank letters.
"The cause of their flight is
far deeper and more concrete.
Crank letters have been no
novelty to the Eindberghs. They
are not fleeing from mOrOns
nor cranks-nOr cameras.
They are fleeing from definite
and diabOlical threats.
"The persons who made these
threats are potential murdererS
and kidnapers. They are act
uated by a stubborn and unrea-
soning belief that they should
stick by Hauptmann through
thick and thin.
"Their plan was to kidnap
Lindbergh and, if possible, his
wife with him, and hold them
as hostages against a commute
ton of Hauptmann'S death
sentence.
"They planned to seize the
Lindberghs and send word that
If Hauptmann died, they would
die, too"

With an inch and a half of
snow on the ground from the

blizzard which started early last
night.
The storm reached its height
around midnight, with a high
wind blowing and whipping the
snow through the streets. Traf-

obscured by the heavy snowfall.
Fair and continued cold weather
is in prospect for today and to-
morrow, it was forecast at the

Motorists, despite the perilous
driving conditions, reported few
accidents to police. Many persons
found their automobiles banked

Service on Capital Transit Com
pany lines was reported only
slightly hampered by the snow
during the morning rush.
Buses were moving slowly be-
cause of the icy streets and street
cars were delayed at points where
ice and snow had clogged the

Sweepers were rushed into serv-
ice as the snow began falling last
night and were kept in operation
throughout the night and morn
ing.
Crews of workmen also were
called in for service by the Dis
trict Highway Department early

downtown streets of drifts.
Highways leading to all points

had sos from ZIG. 221 and 258 and
Pritchett 693 from 224, 225 and 244.
No other members of the league
leading Cooks Goldblume could reach
600, but the support given the high
scoring pair was enough to elevate
the quintet to a 3085 total, and a
three-time victory over the Lieber
Layers. The winners apassed their
big series through games of 964, 1929
and 1892 Freddie Schleimer's GIG
was the best the Layers had to offer.
Falls City Hi-Bru, with trio of
members clicking in fine style,
posted the best team total of the
evening, topping everything in the
loop, and in the city as well, with
a 1888 from 1852, 1884 and 1047.
The Brus' tactics carried too much
dynamite for the opposing Coca
Colas, and they copied three
games with ease. Joe Fulton led
the high scoring trio with his sea-
sons best, a SIS; Carl Hardin
again carried a big wallop and
moved down 652, and Charlie
Cray Clipped in 625. Red
Mounts fell two pins short of j
600 in his three tries.
Marott's Shoes reached 3018 in its
three games to win twice over L, S.
Ayres & Co. Games of 1890, 1881
and 957 carried the team to its big
series, Ed Stevenson, Larry Cobler
and Oscar Behrens doing most of
the heavy work with totals of 638,
632 and Gle, respectively. Carl Min
dach neared the honor mark with
$685. For the Ayres' aggregation Don
McNew turned in 654 and Bill
Brunot SAT
Klee's setups have been having
plenty of difficulty of late, but
they steamed up last night to post
their first 5000 total of the sea-
son. With Charley Tyner's $40
and Bud Schoch's COS as the
pacemakers, they connected for
games of 1872, 1923 and 996 to total
3011, and a two-game decision
over Marmon- Harrington, which
had as its leading scorers Chris
Rasmussen with Csc and Walt
Hickman with 617.
Doves Seal Fast, which has been
very much in the Iimelight during the
last few weeks, failed to top 5000
last night, but with trio of men,
bers turning in 500 sets, they easily
outscored Stube Club in all their
games. Ed Striebeck with 651, Fon-
ME Snyder with 612 and Dan Alb
bolt with GOT were the teams top
scorers.
Acetylene Products, with Jack
Hunt at 631 and Bert Bruder at 606
made a sweep of its series over
Crystal Flash. Hughie Harrigan
flashed some of his old-time form to
give the losers a $685. John Blues
631 was the best series of the Lie
Der Brewers, who nabbed an odd
game decision over Sterling Beer.

Highland President
Denies Club Plans
$4,000 Golf Meet
White Says Mcintyre Talk
MiSinterpreted.

Denial that Highland Golf and
Country Club directors have dis
cussed or contemplated the holding
of a $4,000 open championship
here next season was made today
by Russell L. White, president.
Neal Mcintyre, course pro, was re-
ported to have made statement
at a meeting Of National Profess
sional Golfers Association in Chi
cago last night that Highland might
be host to such tourney.
Il think Mcintyre was making an
effort to clear the good sports name
of indianapolis and Highland from
any blame for the failure of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars to pay
some prize money to winners of the
$4,000 open held here last October, p"
Mr. White said.
Gene Sarazen competed in that
tournament and while here ad-
vanced a plan for holding future
tournaments that would require en-
trants to pay heavy entrance fees
and the entertaining club to match
it. This would amount to something
like $4,000 and it may be that Neal
anticipates trying to sell Highland
on the idea of holding such an
event." Mr.. White added.

any man who was a first-class prize
fighter and a frSt-claSs wrestler at
the same time. I suppose Paul Ber-
lenbach came closest to this COM
bination, but even he was rescued
from the mat before his muscles had
turned to steel coils. Frank Gotch
was the greatest wrestler America
ever produced. He took up fighting
and was knocked out speedily by an
old man, Frank Clavin, retired and
in his middle forties.
TINE most important mixed match
Il I can remember hearing about,
and it wasn't very important at
that, was between Sam McVey, the
Negro heavyweight and the jiu jitSu
champion of Australia. McVey
clowned through the first stages and
was thrown. This made him angry
He came back and demolished the
wrestler for the second fall by a
Knockout. if that's the way to phrase
it. may be wrong but my notion
is that jim Braddock or Joe Louis
would stop any wrestler in the bust
ness. They'd crack 'em before they
had a chance to apply a hold.
