He May Stop CLOIUning

THE belated honeymoon trip to Arkansas, timed
i to divert attention from another of his special
sessions, the first exploitation of the Senator's
felcitiouS home-lite. He had lived stag in Wash
ington and even in New Orleans had maintained
a hotel suite downtown although his family home
was in the city.
The home-lovng element then found their at
tention suddenly called to Mr.. Longs domestic side
by newSy announcement that he was going off on
his honeymoon, after many years. This sentimental
journey to Arkansas attended by considerable
endearing publicity reminding his constituents that
he had his home-life, too even as Mr.. Roosevelt 1t
was phase of his existence which had previously
been neglected in the political billing.
The Senator is now engaged in or less
open scrap with the President which may rpen
into a braw when he comes to Washington where,
undoubtedly he will make publicity in great volume.
There have been many attempts to put him over
a barrel but he is not over the barrel yet. Cold
sober and with his active wits always about him
he will be much more difficult to handle than he
would be with few nibbles aboard The Senator's
future seems to be up to himself His greatest prob
lem is to stop clownng, and he has taken danger
step in that direction.

ana color OF the session.
Unhampered by gag rules, no
longer subdued by the desperate
depression which two years ago
awed it into submission, and
manned by a record number of
aggressive, Independent fighters
the new Senate will be the scene
of fierce and momentouS battles.
And the probability is that
these battles will not be so much
between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, but between right and left
groups within the Administration
itself.
That probability is the most sig
nificant thing about the coming
session. 1t is indicative of the
fight that may come throughout
the nation. 1t is the reason why
conservative business, once su-
premely critical of Roosevelt, now
is more friendly. 1t is the big
question mark of the New Deal.
Can the President cope with
elements within the country and
within Congress which are much
more radical than he ever thought
of being?
To many, once shocked by
Roosevelt's left of center" pol
icy. he is now considered the real
bulwark of more conservative in
tereStS.
THE President, as so often dem
Il onstrated, is a master poll
tician, a genius in handling men.
But never has he met test as
rigorous as that which confronts
him in the Senate.
On one hand he faces about 20
Progressives, men Of accomplished
strategy, of great courage, with
determination to shape legisla-
tive course more liberal than the
New Deal. To them party labels
mean little. There are almost as
many Republicans in this group as
Democrats.
On the other hand. Roosevelt
faces about rs dyed-in-the-wool
conservatives. men thoroughly out
of step with his policies, men who
would wreck the New Deal if they
could. -

Action is expected on the World
Court, League of Nations, Nicara-

statutes governing American neu-
trality in war time, and congress
sional authority for a new war
debts settlement.
TopSy-turvy world conditions, a.
stormy Europe and the upset bal
ance of the Pacific and Far East,
clearly have deeply impressed the
new Congress. They are far from
united upon the course to pursue
some demanding still greater
isolation, others closer interna-
tional co-operation-but all seem
convinced action is imperative.
World Court membership will
come up at the first meeting of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. probably next Wednes-
day. "AS early as practicable"
thereafter this will come up for
a Senate vote.
Inc terms upon winch American
adherence might take place have
been in existence for the last five
years. Drafted by Elihu Root, the
protocols contain reservations,

advisory opinions.
THESE protocols were accepted
i by the league in 1929, but
ever since the Senate has haggled
over taking the final plunge. Even
today there is a question whether
the committee will report favor
ably. 1t may insist upon further
reservations. If so, the 49 nations
which feel they have already gone
great lengths to satisfy America,
may balk. Membership may thus
be held up indefinitely.
Entrance into the League of
Nations will be proposed by Sena-
tor James P. Pope, Senator Bor-
abs Democratic colleague from
Idaho. Senator Bo-ah, of course,
will continue his fight against it.
What happens to both court
and league resolutions depends
largely upon the White House.

Senate, five more than a two

MYTH regard to Europe's
w $10.OOO,O 100000 war debt to
this country, few members of the
new Congress appear to believe it
will ever be collected. Many seem
to think there must be a New
Deal or America will never re-
ceive another cent.
Only Congress can authorize a
new settlement. It is known that
a new war debts plan has been
prepared unofficially, but with
strong official backing. What the
Presidents attitude is, has not
been publicly stated. There is rea-
son to believe, however, that Con-
gress may give him the necessary
authority to make a new settle

of constructing the home made
ladder used by the kidnaper.
Witnesses will testify that the
defendant is an expert carpenter
and others will testify that he
purchased wood like that in the
ladder from a Bronx lumber deal

A Government analyst is re-

Albert S. Osborn, handwriting
expert, is prepared to testify that
Hauptmann's admitted handwrit-

as well as handwriting on his auto
license applications, is the hand
writing of the ransom notes.
Mr.. Osborn's testimony, of ne

p R U NO RICHARD
HAUFTMANN is on
trial at Pennington, N. j.,
charged with the most cele-
brated crime in your life
time or mine.
He is accused Of the muir
der of Charles Augustus
Lindbergh Jr., infant name
sake and son of the flier.
This is a resume of the states
case against him:
The state alleges that Haupt-
mann entered the Lindbergh home
in the Sourland Mountains on the
night of March 1, 1882, in a pre-
meditated attempt to steal the
child and take other valuables
(presum. 'tion: its clothing); that
he did the child to death, and
that he buried the body in a shall
low, roadside grave.
In proof of this, the state con-
tends:
That Hauptmann was seen near
the Lindbergh home before the
kidnapping.
One Theodore Kuchtiak is ex-
pected to testify that a man re-
Sembling Hauptmann was seen
hanging around the grounds be-
fore the kidnapping. Charles Ga
lumhos of nearby Manville is ex-
pected to testify that he rented a
garage to man resembling
Hauptmann shortly before the
kidnapping.
That Hauptmann was seen near
the estate on the day of the kid
naping.
Willard Whited is expected to
testify that he saw Hauptmann on
his property adjoining the Lind
bergh estate the day of the kid
MAPPING. Mrs. Mary Szibla, for
merly a stewardess at the Hope
we'll Valley Country Club, is ex-
pected to testify that a man re-
sembling Hauptmann tossed
package into bushes near the
Lindbergh estate the day of the
kidnapping.
That Hauptmann was in the
baby's room.
Experts will testify that the ran
som note referring to "the note we
left in the bays room" was writ
ten by Hauptmann.
THAT Hauptmann suffered a
- leg injury such as might
have been caused by a fall from
the ladder leading from the baby's
room.
Witnesses will say that the lad
der was found broken; DR.. Otto
Meyer Of New York City is ex-
pected to testify that in the spring
of 1888 he treated Hauptmann for
leg injury of long standing, and
Silvio Constantine, auto salesman,
will testify Hauptmann limped
and had a bandage on his left
foot in March and April, 1882.

with him by Isidor Fisch, tuber-
cular furrier, now dead. He said
that he did not even know that
the money was there until rain
water damaged one of the pack
ages. When he found the money
he spent it because he had loaned
Fisch $500, he said.
But Henry Uhlig, who knew
them both, is prepared to testify
that Hauptmann did not meet
Fisch until three months after the
kidnapping and that Fisch was
penniless when he died in Ger
many.
That Hauptmann had previ-
Gus criminal record.
Hauptmann's German police
record, sent to this country by
Detective Arthur johnson of the
New York City force, shows that
he was implicated in nine crimes
and that on one occasion, taking
part in a highway robbery at the
age of 20, he urged his companion
to fire upon two women pushing
baby carriages when they refused
to stand still as he had ordered.
The charges, involving breaking
and entering, larceny and highway
robbery, resulted in two-and-a-
half-year prison sentence. Haupt-
mann escaped, was reCaptured,
served his time, was freed on pa
role. Arrested again in connection
with a series of thefts, he again
eluded his guards and slowed
away to the United States.
THAT Hauptmann's conduct
l. was that of a guilty man.
The State will show that he was
reticent, secretive in his relations
with his neighbors. 1t will call
attention to the careful fashion in
which he hid the money, his pos
session of a revolver (stowed away
in another auger hole), the flood
lights which could be operated
from the house and which illumi-
mated the ground about the ga
rage, The fact that he refused his
landlady and an oil burner repair
man admittance to his cellar.
They may cite such incidents as
his tender of $40 gold bill to a
Bronx lumber dealer in payment
for wood and his sudden decision
not to part with the bill, which
may or may not have been
ransom money.
Incidentally, Hauptmann, who
had worked in that lumber yard,
made purchases of lumber such as
might have been used in con-
struction of a ladder some time
before the kidnapping. This, too,
the State may bring out.
And when this case has been
presented in its entirety the State
will demand that Bruno Richard
Hauptmann be found guilty of
first degree murder and sent to
the electric chair.
Tomorrow: Hauptmann's Defense.
