Washington, Dec. S0-(U.P)-The Post once Department had a net surplus of S4,064,l49 ct the Cl0st of the last fiscal year, according to figures in the annual report issued to-day by Postmaster General James A. Farley. Department rev. enueS increased over 1884 by $44,- O62, 2,1S6.17.
 In cold cash, however, Farley's department was in the fred" The department had total revenues of $63O, ,795, ,302 against expenditures of $696. .6O3, ,253, leaving an actual deficit of $65, 1907, ,951.
 Similar to Last Year
 The surplus was similar to Far- ley'S surplus of last year. He count ed out this year, e,T72, 100 for sub sides, free mail and "non-postal and adjusted itens." These included ship contracts which Farley vigor- ously condemned in their present subsidy form as ''unsound and asteful"-aviation subsidies and free mail.
 The $7O,772,1oO figure was not broken down, or further clarified. The detailed report showed $2S,- 536, ,733.87 was spent on ocean mail contracts; that $32,566,239 could have been collected if regular rates were charged for free mall; and that $9,588, ,905.67 wes spent for do- mestic air mail. Those amounts alone totalled $71 ,691, ,878.54, with no allowance for "non-postal and ad- justed items"
 Encouraging Words
 Looking ahead to next year, Far ley had encouraging words for transatlantic adrmail service with in 1e months.
 He estimated revenue for 1886 at $670o0O,0OO, with $76O,O00,oOO in ex- penditures.
 He said restoration of the former two-cent postage rate would "re- suit in a large postal deficit, con- dition which the department is using it's utmost endeavors to avoid.
 Included in this estimate is ale lowance for additional funds ileed- ed to carry out a 4O-hour week for postal employees. If the estimate is correct the departments deficit for the 1936 fiscal year, which ends next June 30. will be $e0,000,0O0.
 Referring to the 1895 surplus" the report said "this very material Improvement in the finances of the department reflects @ substantial increase in the volume of mail and while this increase is due chiefly to improved business conditions, 1t has, nevertheless, been augmented by a campaign which has been conducted by the department to promote use of postal facilities"
 Ship Contract Unsound
 Farley charged that the present method of paying a subsidy to ship operators who carry mails under the "subterfuge of ocean-mail con- tracts" is ."unsound and wasteful." !" The postmaster general urged that a direct subsidy to cover the differ entiel between the cost of the ship construction and ship operation re- place the present method.
 After the most careful study and consideration by the postmaster general" the report said, "he is con- vinced that the evils inherent in our present system of ocean mail contracts can only be srred by leg islation providing new system"
 Government assistance in hasten ing inauguration of @ trans-Atlan- tic air mail service similar to the new Pacific route was predicted.

Trenchard, who presided at the trial,
will set the new death date.
The law requires that the date
shall not be earlier than four weeks
nor more than eight weeks after the
day new death warrant is signed.
Once a new date has been fixed,
Hauptmann' attorneys may make ap-
plication to the Board of Pardons for
clemency.
Attorney General David T. Wilentz,
chief of the prosecution forces at the
Pennington trial, received the news
Of the Supreme Court action while
appearing at trial in Freehold. He
refused to comment.
Parker today called Hauptmann "a
good victim" of the police authorities
who sought a solution of tha case.
THE police were on the spot" he
said at Mount Holly. The case was
212 years old lin the Summer OF l934)
and they had to have some one to
hang it on, and Bruno Hauptmann
was good victim"
The detective, who was absent from
his home most of the night on an
unexplained mission, was SteadfaSt in
his refusal to discuss his ideas on
the case. He made a diSparaging
gesture and snorted when asked to
confirm q published report he believed
the crime q thrill staying and
had talked to the man he believed
murdered the Lindbergh baby.
Naturally" he said later, I've got
a lot of theories on this case. A lot
of people weren't satisfied with that
CHauptmann) trial. 1t was a three
ring circus"
Parker was asked concerning re-
ports that he had shown Gov. Harold
G. Hoffman picture of the man he
suspected in the crime. His answer
was, II haven't seen the Governor in
over a month. Il I knew who it was
you know I'd have had him long ago"
Gov. Hoffman meanwhile was
planning to ask State legislative lead
ers their opinion on the proprlety OF
his death house visit to Hauptmann.
News of Parker's activities in the case
came out shortly after the Governor S
visit was revealed.
Parker hit back at critics accusing
him of seeking publicity. That's
lie. don't need no publicity" he
snapped. "I won't talk about the case
not because I'm afraid. I'm not afraid
of anybody. I've got no boss"
He said "a lot of officials and other
fellows" were making lot of untrue
accusations.

OF GOAL
RAISED BY CHEST
169,003 Contributors Give
S1,757,473.07 in Drive,
WiIiett Says.

Herbert L. Willett, jr., director OF
the Community Chest, today an
nounced that 169,003 contributors
pledged $1,757,473.07 to the Com
munity Chest in the recent campaign.
Willett's figures were based on the re-
port of James A. Councillor Of Coun-
cilor g. Buchanan, c. P. A, volun-
teer controller and chairman Of the
Audit Unit Of the Chest.
These figures, Councillor explained,
are based on the audit of December 7,
which took in consideration ali pledges
made up to and including December 6.
The amount pledged at the same time
last year was 81 ,604, 1892, so that this
years campaign netted $l52, ,690.05
more.
These figures, willett pointed out.
mean the November campaign was
successful in raising 1888 per cent of
its goal of $1,877. 900. 1t means also
that the Chest raised 109.5l per cent
of the amount raised last year. The
169 ,oO3 contributors constitute a gain
of 1885 over last years l50,Ol8 givers.
Willett again called attention to the
failure of the Chest to reach even its
minimum goal and again declared
that while the books are oficially
closed for the year in so far as credit
ing contributions upon the workers
quotas, that any further contributions
can be made direct to the Community
Chest and will be gratefully received.
The director also again called at
tention to the inability of the Chest to
assume responsibility for any abnor-
nal relief needs, stating bluntly that
the Chest could not replace people
who are now on the limited relief
funds of Chest agencies with others
no more deserving, and neither could
it put children and old people out of
institutions, withdraw nursing care
from the sick and injured, or put
| other clients out of hospitals in order
to meet these needs.
| AS it stands, there will have to be a
sharp reallocation of funds by the
/ Chest Budget Committee TO the 65
Chest agencies in order to assure the
least possible hardship with the funds

Hauptmann Of the verdict this after

Earlier, the attorney had conferred
with Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, pre-
sumably about the Hauptmann case.

Court of Pardons, disclosed last week
he had visited Hauptmann in the
death house on the night of october
II and that Ellis H Parker, Burling-
ton County detective chief, believed

Three StipulatiOns Made.
In granting this measure of
autonomy. the central Chinese gov
ernment was reported authoritatively
to have made three stipulationS-that
Nanking would continue to control
foreign affairs, financial, military and
judiciary matters; that all appoint
nnents would be made by Marking and
that there would be no actual inde-
pendence for the area.
Japanese authorities described the
Nanking stipulations in the northern
settlement as 'face-savers," asserting
the new council would enjoy virtual
autonomy in foreign, financial and
military affairs.
This settlement was reached in the
controversy arising from original de-
mands for separation from the central
