day. The governor talked for half
an hour today in his office concern
ing his. visit to Hauptmann in the
death house of Trenton state
prison, but refused to say what evi-
dence, if any, Parker had un-
covered.
Earlier Parker, apparently the key
in the renewed interest in the case,
issued a statement from his Mt.
Holly, N. j., office in which he SAID
he would not reveal his opinions
about the guilt or innocence OF
Hauptmann until such time as his
case was disposed of by the United
States supreme court and the New
Jersey court of pardons. The Sill
preme court probably will act on
the case Monday.
No Arrests Made
Hoffman denied that the county
detective, who has an impressive
record for the solution OF homicide
cases, had arrested anyone or even
had a specific prospect in mind.
HAS Parker ever asked you to
make available to him the records
and evidence in the Lindbergh
case?" Hoffman was asked.
well, he asked me to get GER
tain information for him." the gov
ernor replied.
Did you get it?"
Eyes"
would you be willing to turn
over to him all the evidence and
all the records that might help him
in his independent Investigations"
Eyes, I would he said after a
pause.
Parker was in Mount Holly, where
he caused considerable excitement
by purchasing a new pair of hand
cuffs. Friends reported he was
playing pir.ochle in Mount Holly
club.
Hoffman said he had no plans
to see Hauptmann again. He visit
ed Hauptmann last October as a
member of the New Jersey court of
pardons so he could hear Haupt-
mann's story of innocence first

BUILDING. LOAN
LAW ILLEGAL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. U.P)-The
U. S. Supreme court today held that
federal legislation permitting state
chartered building and loan asso-
Citations to take out federal char
ters as part of the federal home
loan bank system in the face of dis
approval by state authorities was
unconstitutional.
The case arose in Wisconsin
where suits were brought challeng-
ing the right of three building and
loan associations to take out federal
charters. Their move was protested
by the state banking commission
which held they were state units
subject to state control.
The decision was considered of
widespread import although its
immediate application was not con-
sidered serious.

Major Failure of Administration,

BOSTON. November 20-New Deal
handling of the unemployment prob
lem was described as major failure
of the Roosevelt administration last
night by Mrs. Robert Lincoln Hoyal.
director of the womens division of the
Republican National Committee.
In a many-sided criticism of the
New Deal, given in an address to the
Business and Professional Women's
Republican Club of Massa achusetts, she
said:
II know Of no greater indictment
that can be leveled against the Roose-
welt administration than to say that
he has borrowed money from future
generations to feed the unemployed
from the hand of Government while,
at the same time, insisting upon the
enactment of measures which have
kept the unemployed from securing
the one thing they want above all
others-jobs.
Time after time in the last few
months the President has said we are
on our way but he didn't say where!
And recently after his elaborate
and expensive Western fishing expedi-
ton, he made a statement to the effect,
we are on our way back because we
planned 1t that way!'
Back to what? To the tyrannies
Of the old world, to a Communistic
system of relationships whose admin

San Francisco housewives were warned
today that 300 pounds Of baking soda

blamed for three deaths.
Mysterious circumstances surround
ing the sale of the lethal soda-so
deadly that half teaspoonful might

investigation.
II can't understand how SO much
poison could be mixed in the soda by
accident" he said. I have no evi-
dence yet of any criminal activity,
but circumstances frankly have me
worried"

packages of widely known brand Of
baking soda had been sold in barrel
lots by salvage firm to San Fran
cisco department store for resale in
bulk He said he thought the soda
may have been contaminated by hav-
ing been placed in barrels which for
merly contained poison.
The soda, sold over a period of sew
eral weeks, was purchased by thrifty
housewives for cents pound. The
same brand in original packages sold
for 10 cents a pound.
In his warning, DR.. Geiger said:
Deadly poison has contaminated a
large quantity of baking soda sold in
bulk form and widely distributed in
San Francisco. Use of that particular
soda will endanger the lives of untold
numbers Of residents Of the city.
There is no danger in the use Of
standard brands Of soda in their
proper packages, but I ask that all
persons having purchased soda in bulk
form from the store in question bring
them to my Office Immediately.
The three persons whose deaths
were blamed on use of the cheap
soda were Mrs. Marie Ogle. 60; Alfred
Terry. 81, and his daughter, Mrs.
