PATERSON. N. j., May /
G.N.S0.-Philip Martin, 46, Of
Clifton, N. j., silk mill watch
man, was arrested today charged
with sending letters threatening
the life of Col. Charles "A. Lind
bergh.
Mystery of two threatening let.
tiers was cleared up, according to
police, by the arrest Of Martin.
They said they regarded Martin
as irresponsible and subject to
''brainstormS" which followed a
blackjack attack by burglars he
fought off in anil holdup sew
eral years ago.
BrOode6 Over Trial
Police SAID Martin is German
and an alien. They added that
his wife Informed them Martin
had brooded over the Lindbergh
case and that the Hauptmann
trial had become almost mania
with him.
1neoherent and, in certain
phrases, unprintable, the letters
had one point in common, police
said. They contained this warn
ing:
This is from John. This is
not q ransom note. This is a
killing note. I'm going to take
the law in my hands. I'll kill
Indy and kill myself"
LETTERS TO POLICE
One letter was sent to local
police. The other, for some unex-
planned reason, went to the war
den of Sing Sing prison.
Close examination of the letters
revealed a return address had
been clipped from both. With
this lead, detectives reSorted to
ultraviolet rays which showed the
return address imprint had been
communicated to the back Of the
envelopes.
This address bore the name Of a
Paterson silk mill, but police de-
clined to divulge its name.
Writing Compared
The detectives procured samples
Of each employees handwriting-a
job that took more than a month
m a awhile enlisting aid Of
James R. Cahill, local newspaper
man with a hobby for studying
handwriting.
A sample of the watchman'S
writing wah obtained and Mr.. Ca
hill pronounced it the same as
that of the letters.
Police said Martin admitted the
ing to admit the writing was his,
similarity was so close he was will
but claimed he had no knowledge
Of writing the notes.
He will be arraigned tomorrow

Eagle new life until next April
only, and banning price-fixing and
code regulation of intra-State bust
ness was approved. 16 to 3, by
the Senate Finance Committee
today.
The measure represents a dis
tinct compromise with NRA oppo-
sition forces. and does not carry
Presto EN- Rooseyelt's support.
Nevertheless, New Deal leaders In
the Senate supported the bill as
the hesEw way out of bad situa-
The administration had sought
twO-year extension of the pres
Eent MIRA act which expires on
June Is.
Senators Gore, Oklahoma; Byrd,
Virginia, and Black, Alabama, all
Democrats, voted e, against the
measure.
Will Draft Bill
A subcommittee composed Of
Senator Pat Harrison Cd, Missis-
Sippi, and chairman Of the full
committee; Senator Clark CD,
Missouri, and Senator Hastings
(RO, Delaware, was named to
draft the new bill and bring it
formally before the full committee
again tomorrow morning.
The new bill provides:
/. MIRA shall be extended until
April, 1886.
2. No price fixing shall be per-
mitted or sanctioned under any

eral or natural resources which
already include price fixing pro-
visions.
3. No trades engaged wholly in
interstate commerce shall be
eligible for an MIRA code.
President Given Time
4. President Roosevelt shall be
given sufficient time in which to
review the present code structure
and carry out the provisions Of
Sections 2 and 3.
Senator Harrison was very
frank in refusing to state whether
this new bill would win President
Roosevelt's approval. ASke d
whether the legislation would get
an okay from MIRA chief, Donald
Richberg, he said with a smile:
II haven't any idea
The committee chairman an
nounced also that when Congress
convenes again next January its
first task would be a thorough
further consideration of the prob
lem of MIRA. Thus, today'S action
represented primarily move
toward speed which leaders
believe can best be obtained by
submitting to the Senate a pro-
posal on which all forces may
possibly be able to get together.

PRINCIPAL Points

Outstanding points in the re-
port we're:
Demand for the immediate
removal from office of District
Attorney Leslie C. Garrett and
his assistant, Karl w. Kindle-
berger, and their replacement
by more competent persons.
That the local Police Depart
ment is not being satisfactorily
administered.
That Superintendent Ernest
w. Brown and Inspectors Al
bert Headley and ThaddcuS
Bean, and all other officers
above the rank of captain who
have reached the age OF so
and are eligible for retirement,
should be placed Immediately
on the retired list.
That Superintendent Browns
successor be a competent and
qualified person who is not now
q member of the Police Depart
ment."
That the Police Department
be kept free from political in
dorsements.
High commentator of the
work of the Women's Bureau.
That a washington Crime
Commission" 1e created for the
purpose of checking constantly
the work of law enforcement
agencies. so that conditions will
not settle back to their nor.
NAL inefficient state" when the
heat of the investigation sub
sides.
District Attorney Garrett and
his assistant came in for the
heaviest criticism of all in the re
port.
It stated that the testimony OF
both of these prosecutors indi-
Gated that the affairs Of the Of
flee of the United States Attorney
for the District of Columbia are
being conducted without adequate
knowledge of the law, without
proper or efficient supervision
and minus an attitude conducive
to public confidence and respect"
The Washington times., 1935-05-01

When the full committee has
agreed on the document, it will
be submitted to the House, and
if the subcommittee recon-
mendations are followed, made
the basis of legislation designed
to strengthen the law-enforce-
ment agencies of the District
and reinforce their efforts to
stamp out lawlessness and con-
troll crime.

HANFORD vICTORs

A large crowd attended the last con-
ference game of the season at Hantord
last Friday. This game cinched trst
place for Hanford as they won by
score of 1916.
In the girls game, the White Bluf1s
girls started the scoring, but the Han
ford girls soon caught up. The White
Bluffs girls held small lead through
out nearly all the game. In the last
quarter several unsuccessful shots were
made by both teams. In the last few
minutes Of play Hanford scored an
other basket, thus tying the game
The boys game was even more eX-
citing. The White Bluffs Eagles started
the scoring but Hanford came back
with a field goal shortly after. Sew
eral times the score was tie but the
Eagles managed to keep ahead most OF
the game They had the lead at the
half by 1914. During the last half
the score did not run very high and
for a while it was 1916. Hanford
missed several foul shots which, II
made, would have set them well ahead.
In the last few seconds Hanford made
one foul shot and field goal. This
ended the game in their favor with a
score of 1916.

The Home Relations girls had a
scorching good time cooking their
lunch Tuesday February 10. The menu
consisted of mashed potatoes, creamed
peas, cabbage salad, beef steak, olives,
jello, cookies, coffee, tea and hot buns.
Miss Duvall played the role of hostess
In spite of there being only three
knives for twelve persons, the meal
worked out very well, taking three
hours altogether to prepare it and
clean up afterwards
A chess tournament has been started
for the chess enthusiasts. Sixteen play
erso have drawn numbers and the less
skillful players are being slowly weeded
out The schedule is arranged so that
a person has to lose twice before he
is out of the tournament In the end,
the winner of the losers plays the win
ner of the winners for the champion
ship. The champ will probably be given
a pin or badge for his success.

Because of the good behavior of

Because of basketball games filing

be no sleepy eyed pupils having to
be at school the next day.
Some members of the Agriculture
class performed chemical experiment
before the student body last week.
They made lye, and explained the pro-
cess as they worked. The experiment
was interesting, but many students are
still puzzled as to just what took place,
the experiment, promised them by Mr..
Austin.

tically thirteen weeks of school left this
term.

THE class began some six weeks ago
with eight children, and imme-
diately the other children of the
neighborhood fiocked to the place.
There are now some thrty-five en-
rolled.
The exhibit which is now on the
walls, tackled high up out of the way
of the space used at the weekly
meetings of the class, consists Of
twenty-eight drawings selected from
the work of the first five weeks.
One is struck by the attractive col
o-ing and design, and by the close
ness of the subject matter to the
children's own lines. The most fire.
quent subject is, of course, trees and
flowers and grass with children
playing in the midst-the thing they
want but are denied. There are
scenes Of children in snow storms,
with the snow falling in great white
balls. Lillian, age seven, has a draw
ing of three children holding hands,
and the motto, Lets dance and
have fun" One boy shows a police
man directing traffic. Another has
drawn a lighthouse throwing out a
huge beam of light, with the blue
ocean and several boats surrounding
it. Some pictures have skyscrapers
in the background. There is pic
ture labeled East River" and
another which seems to be a sales
man carrying briefcase and call
ing on a lady. A particularly note
worthy painting in the exhibit
is by Frances, age s, showing a
skyscraper apartment house with
prominent garbage cans standing on
the pavement at the corner of the
building.
All the drawings are realistic, all
from their own life experience, all
vivid and dynamic. They are the
graphic expression of working class
children, culturally starved by the
miserable school facilities forced
upon them by a class civilization,
physically and spiritually starved by
capitalism.
