ton of adherence would be ratified
before nightfall.
The recent administration poll
showing 60 certain votes for the
World Court has stood up under
several checks of the senate men,
bership. But in the first polls,
there were four doubtful votes,
which the administration hoped to
obtain. Three of these have been
lost. so that except for changes at
the last moment. the court advo-
Gates counted upon maximum of
81 votes.
Sixty One Needed
Sixty-one votes would be suffi-
cient for ratification, which re-
quireS a two-thirds majority.
With the full membership of sc
senators voting, 81 would be re-
quired for a two thirds majority.
Necessary absences. however, have
reduced the membership to SO, so
that 90 votes would be enough to
bring ratification.
The proposal for court adherence
has been before the senate since
February, 1923, when President
Harding asked senate ratification
of a resolution for participation in
the court. He proposed four reser-
vations. but in subsequent debate
these were increased to five.
In the three weeks of debate on
the court project it has been assert
ed and denied that American ad-
herence meant a back-door en-
trance to the League of Nations.
It has been argued and denied that
advisory opinion function of the
court would entagle the United
States in Europe questions which
better would be avoided.

pitched voice could carry.
Five minutes later ne was turned
over to dis defense counsel Edward
J. Reilly, for redirect examination.
Hauptmann reversed some of the
previous testimony almost immed-
lately after he was given into the
sympathetic hands of his chief
counsel.
It had been said that he failed
to tell the police officers who ar
rested him that he had more than
$4,000 in the ransom bills in his
garage. Hauptmann swore, on re-
direct examination, that he had told
about the money to Police Commis-
sioner Organ, shortly after his ar
rest.
Hauptmann scored another point
when the payroll of the Majestic
apartments was introduced into evi-
dence. showing that he worked on
April 2, the night on which the ran
som was paid
The state had previously intro
duced testimony to show he had not
worked on that date.
This was Hauptmann's worst day
in court-but he held his temper
in check and stoutly resisted the
most damaging of the attorney gen.
erals questions.
His general denial of any know
ledge of the Lindbergh murder or
extortion continued in force, and al
though Wilentz attempted to tesr
his reputation to ShredS, Haupt-
mann came through the ots>~'
much more coolly than had been ex-
pected.
