Fascism Seen AS
Real u. S. Threat

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 81.
(UP). - The Fascist bogeyman,
already in control of Germany,
Italy and Louisiana, is a threat to
America, DR.. James J. Morrison
of Tulane University told the
American Association of Law
Schools yesterday.
"Any incipient tendency toward
Fascism in American law and leg
islation, nationally speaking, was
begun with the NRA," he said.
"More definite, the Fascist state
actually was begun and is being
maintained in Louisiana. The
Huey Long administration by a Sc
ries of legislative acts has made
it possible for their party to COM
pletely corrupt any and every
election they desire.
at is unthinkable to consider
the present Louisiana administra-
ton in terms of democratic or re-
sponsible government. The entire
forces are directed towards MAIN
tanning the present political party
in power by the crudest forms of
coercion, intimidation and fraud
through a perversion of demo-
cratic institutions backed by brute
force"
He said the serious threat Of
Louisiana's dictatorship branching
out on a national scale was thwart-
ed only by Longs assassination.

'NO DATE FIXED

Court of Pardons Will Not
Allow Bruno or His Wife
to Plead Case
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

TRENTON, n. J., Dec. 81
(UP).-The New Jersey court OF
pardons Monday left Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann standing uncer-
tainly between life and death
when it discussed his case for two
hours and adjourned until some
vague tomorrow without acting on
his plea for clemency.
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, pre-
siding member Of the court Of
eight, said his colleagues had en-
trusted to him the setting of a
date for another meeting at which
it will be decided whether there
is any saving factor in the Lind
bergh crime that would justify
communication of Hauptmann's
death sentence to imprisonment.
He has not selected that date, he
added.
Hoffman and other members of
the court traded jests in the state
house corridor as the meeting
broke ND, but there was a feeling
that Hauutmann's chances never
were blacker. For one thing, Hoff-
man said he not o My doubted
whether he had the power to re-
prieve for 90 DAYS, but was mot
inclined to do it under present
circumstances.
That means that the calendar
will flip only Is more times be-
fore il registers the dav when
Hauntmann's head probably will
be shaved and he will be led INTO
a square room with cream-colored
walls up the corridor from the
death house.
Hoffman, who frequently has
held out hope to Hauptmann'
talked a different language yester-
dav-
"In this particular case" ne

guilty. he is entitled to no mercy

court came to, it acted on ade-

NATION READY FOR EXPENSIVE
NEW YEARS EVE BLOWOUT
To Be Most Costly Since
1929 According to Res
.taurant Forecasts
downright, 1885, United Press)

America is stepping out tonight,
plans to eat lot, drink lot,
shout a lot, and isn't counting the
cost. The New Year will be greet
ed for the first time since 1919
with the combined influences to
merriment of legal liquor and
free-fowing money.
The unacceptable conclusion from
adding together all the reported
reservations for dining rooms, ia
bles and theater seats at double
and triple depression prices was
that a mere handful of Americans
would be at home tonight and that
the bankrolls of those not at home
would suffer terribly.
Restaurants in all major cities
confidently predicted that jewellers
will spend more money tonight
than on any other New Years
eve since the font of whoopee
wealth dried up in 1929.
Official figures substantiated
the reports of the business men,.
In New York City, the granddaddy
of all New Years eve celebrations
annually turns Times Square into
a species of nut-house.
Reservations for almost every
form of celebration where reser-
vations were required were sold
days ago.
President Roosevelt will lead a
quiet White House celebration, re-
manning up until midnight to well
come the New Year and perhaps
to wave greeting from a White
House porch to serenaders. Wash
ington hot-spot prices were about
the same as those in New York

ROOSEVELT WILL OUTLINE
CONGRESSIONAL TASKSFOR Sc
IN MESSAGE LATE THIS WEEK
Annual Budget Message
Will Follow on Monday
Is Indicated
By JOHN r. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. CUP
President Roosevelt indicated al
his press conference Monday thai
he will deliver his annual message
to congress, outlining it's tasks fol-
1886, late this week.
The budget message probably
will be delivered Monday, he add
ed, although neither date has beer
fixed definitely. He failed to state
whether he would deliver the
state of-the-nation message in per.
son, but this has been his custom
in previous years.
The president will meet news
papermen Sunday to discuss the
budget message but has no SEIZED
uled conferences with COMPRESSION
al leaders.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked wheth-
er his attitude on the soldier bo-
nus had changed since his veto
last session. He replied by asking
whether there was a new bill, add
ing that if there was, he would
have to see what was in it.
Earlier Rep. Wright Patman,
D., Tex, author of the bonus bill
vetoed last session and chairman
of the house bonus steering COM
mittee, opened the 1886 campaign
in earnest by calling a meeting OF
the group for next Thursday, the
day before congress opens.
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns, in
speech last night, said some sort
of bonus bill would pass both
houses in January.
"There is no doubt about it il
the contending forces in favor OF
the different bills get together anc
agree upon a measure" he said
'No one, of course, is qualified OF
authorized to speak on the subject
of veto. That is a matter for the
president alone, and do not pre-
sumo that he would permit him
self to reach any conclusion IS t;
! the action he may take in the
event such a bill is agani passed
by the congress, until it mas beer
actually passed and the president
has an opportunity to examine it:
provisions"
Earlier Byrns had said that he
planned to discuss with Patman 8
plan to delay consideration of the
bonus in the house until after the
senate had acted, reversing the
procedure of previous years.
Meanwhile, Rep. John Rankin
D., Miss, came forward with
suggestion that payment be made
out of the nations $10,000,000,
900 gold holdings. The soldier!
could be given their $780, 900,
600 in gold certificates or U. S
currency backed by the gold, hi
said.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-(UP)
Business leaders were almost
unanimous last night in classify
ing the 1885 recovery as the best
since the depression. Most of them
looked for continuance of the ad-
vance in 1886, although many
pointed out obstacles such as the
governme spending program, the
presidentis, election, slowness OF
capital markets to reopen and
more government in business.
Some industries were considered
in a particularly advantageous pO-
sition to lead the recovery. Build
ing appeared to top the list, &C
cording to the opinions of its lead
ers. Automobile makers, who IN
1885 experienced their best year
since 1929, anticipated still fur
Their recovery. Steel men were op-
timistic. Numerous other major
lines were hopeful for further
gains.
A symposium from leading bust
ness men on 1886 prospects:
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president

than 1885. All things considered,
l believe it will be somewhat bet

Myron C. Taylor, chairman nf
the board of the u. S. Steel Cor
poration-It is evident that the
steel industry has experienced a
substantial recovery from the low
point of the depression, and now
seems in a fair way toward NOV
ing forward steadily.
Thomas J. Watson, president
International Business Machines
Corporation - Business improve
ment recorded in 1885 should con-
tinue during the new year, judg.
ing by fundamental economic fac

A. w. Robertson, chairman

many obstacles encountered, thru

Last Saturday the members of
the Crow tribe of Indians went to
the polls at a special election and
d~ecisively turned down the pro-
posed Wheeler-Howard Indian re-
organization act, passed by con-

were sS2 Indians eligible to vote,
and of this number S01 votes were
actually cast. Through an under
standing before the election It was
agreed that votes not cast were
to be counted in favor of the act.
While only 112 votes were cast for
the act, the non-voters swetled
this total to 293 votes for, while
eS9 ballots were cast against. To
date the Crows and Fort Peck In

dians to oppose the wheeler-How-
