CONTRACTORS ASK MANY SAFEGUARDS
AssaiI Tugwell's Reorgan= izatiOn Plan-FlOrida
 Gets Convention

Washington, D. C., Nov. 27.-Very definite safeguards against the sabotage of an yfurther emergency public works program that con- gress may be asked to authorize at is forthcoming session, will be demanded by organized general con- tractors of the nation at their 17th annual convention, January 1915, at the Miami Biltmore hotel, Miami, Fla, according to Edward J. Hard ing, managing director of the As- sociated General Contractors of America.
 Feeling is very decisively crystal ized within the industry that made work" of little or no permanent value has been permitted to absorb entirly too large a proportion of the present four billion dollar program, at the expense of legitimate useful public works, such as were intend ed by congress, Harding states.
 The contractors point out that not one of the classes of recognized useful public works that were specifically mentioned in the emer- gency relief appropriation act re- ceived anywhere near the allot- ments that were contemplated by congress, and that the provision in the act that full advantage should be taken of the facilities of pri- vate enterprise has been largely ignored.
 They cite the fact that, although the act provided that up to $900,- COG, ,O00 might be used for loans and grants for useful non-federal con- struction projects, little more than a third of that sum has been allot- ted for that purpose, and that but $500 100000 of the 00,000,000 ear- marked for highway and grade sep- aration projects actually was al- lotted.
 Recent announcement of the re- organization of Rexford G. Tugwill's resettlement administration, with Frank Schmidt named to act as the contractor" for construction under taken by that bureau, is viewed by the Associated General Contractors as further evidence of the en- croachment of government in the field of private business.

IDR LONDON SAYS
 IT'S RIDICULOUS.
Replies to Demand Made By uptnanf1He Is
 Sorry for Him

Providence, R. T., Nov. 27.--(UP)-- Dr. John F. (Jafsie) COndOn of New York exclaimed, ''It,s ridiculous, it's ridiculous" today when questioned regarding Bruno Richard Haupt- mann.s demand that he confess" something in connection with the baby Lindbergh Kidnapping.
 The enigmatic Intermediary : in the Lindbergll case stopped briefly at Providence on another of his mystery trips" into New England and was interviewed while getting shaved at Union Station.
 ''He (EIauptmann) is appealing for his life, the poor devil" Condon said in one of several vague statements. T mustn't do anything against him. Don't take that to mean I'm for him. I'm not"
 Less to the point was Condon's reply, also to question regarding the meaning of Hauptmann's de- mand for a "confession," that: .
 q made a clear distinction in my testimony between Identification and description. Identification Is mental. It is a human conclusion. Description is purely physical"
 !Condon has made several trips to Boston and other New England communities in his intending search for further evidence in the Lind- bergh case. Exact destination and purpose of his present trip he would not divulge.

Continued from Page 13 interspersed by heavier reports from the artillery and airplane bombs.
 Four planes circled over the bar racks. A hit near the barracks was marked by a spout of smoke and debris.
 The artillery proved most effective in reducing the barracks to ruins. Field guns were placed under the trees in the wide avenue facing the barracks.
 The first shell landed in front of the building. The shell started a fire which spread through the bar racks, which was soon wreathed in smoke, obscuring the scene.
 Sealed Foothills
 Infantrymen, meanwhile, advanced from Copacabana fortress, at the end of the narrow peninsula. They scared the foothills overlooking the rebel stronghold and raked 1t with machine gun and rife fire.
 The rebels replied to the bom- bardment with rife fire mostly. Con- siderable damage was done to homes in the region of the barracks.
 President Getulio Vargas watched the battle from an automobile parked in nearby street.

property is the ideal Christian state"
 The Bible has other symbolic functions such as frequent fasting, annointing the head with oil, bath ing the feet, yelling women, admon- ishing women to dress drably and remain silent, Rev. Todd pointed out. Why, he asked, place such great emphasis on one symbolic function and ignore all the others?
 'The credo and philosophy which I have tried to follow personally and teach from the pulpit may be summarized as follows" Rev. Todd continued. Tn essentials unity, Ill non-essentials freedom and liberty, and in all things charity"
 Has 1S2 Members
 His church at Thomson had 182 members, he explained. Two-thirds of these accepted his viewpoint on Christian teaching and he had tried to effect a reconciliation with the minority by concessions to their views. The court fight was precipitated by 9 members of the church who seek an injunction to deny use of the church to Rev. Todd because he admitted persons to membership after sprinkling "only little water" on their heads, instead of complete immersion.
 Rev. Todd, however, pointed out to the court that in the Christian church each congregation is self governing unit and that the major

VETERAN OF WAR
 LOCATES FAMILY

Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 27-(UP) The wanderings of 8 World War veteran, long thought to be dead, ended happily today with Norman William Ehrenfels, Al, safe at the home of his brother Edward. Be- hind him were 12 totally blank years. A victim of amnesia, Ehren- felS remembers nothing from the day he disappeared in 1923 until he was identified by his mother, Mrs. Sophie Ehrenfels, in the Jersey City medical center.
 In 1923, Ehrenfels was a motor- man on a public service street-car, living with his wife, Maude, and three children.
 October 24, a man wandered into a local police station and asked help in establishing his identity. He said he thought his name was En- renfels. Police took him to the me- dical center and began the search for relatives that ended successful ly with his mothers Identification
 Because she had given up her home in the intervening years and moved to the Raymond Roth home for the aged, of which she was a founder, he was taken to the home of his brother.
 Ehrenfels must now prove he ex- ists to the federal government which declared him dead several years ago. He wishes to apply for veterans adjusted compensation.
