mings. Harris will be notified officially
of the grant of clemency when he is
presented a formally inscribed war
rant signed by the President.
Cummings Is Silent.
1t was said at the Department of

an inquiry after the department had
been flooded with requests from prom
inent citizens for a show of mercy.
Tor Harris. The prisoner, through
Attorneys Nugent Dodds and Neil
BWkinShaw, has insisted Henry was
murdered by another man now dead.
Henry was shot to death as he
slowed his automobile behind a milk
truck near his home. Another auto
mobile pulled along side and a man
whom the Government later charged
was Harris. jumped to the street and
fired at Henry.

by gangsters before his trial.

u. s. CREDIT POWER
.0PPOSEDBY YOUNG.
Omnibus Banking Measure
Would Bar Recovery,
He Testifies.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Opposing the Government credit
control provisions of the omnibus
banking bill because it threatens to
retard recovery" Owen D. Young,
financier and industrialist. told Sen
ate committee today nothing should
be done or threatened that would
shatter 'reviving business confidence"
Questioned by members of the bank
ing subcommittee, he said business
had been reassured by the defeat of
the Patman bonus imitation bill and
there was an underlying demand for
durable goods which. if financing
was forthcoming. would do more to
revive business quickly and in very
large volume than anything else.
Home Building Urged.
"If We could build one or two mil
lion homes of $4,000 each" he said
1T would do more than $4,000. 900, :
600 appropriation toward reviving the
durable goods industries and taking
up the employment slack"
What can be done to restore con-
fidence of investors in the durable
goods industries?" asked Senator
Couzens, Republican. of Michigan.
The less We do and the less We
threaten to do the quicker confidence
will be restored and the quicker We
will have prosperity and a recovery"
DO you think we ought to adjourn
and 60 home?" Couzens asked.
II think that would be very good, ("
Young replied, smiling.
Have you felt that way since
1902 asked Senator Byrnes, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina.
Credit Lies Unused.
No" he replied I'VE have sound
banks with two and quarter billions
Of unused credit. or the basis for
SIS 900, ZOO, 900 of operating credit,
and the only thing is to get business
to use it. 1t will the moment 1t has
enough confidence"
Asked by Senator McAdoo, Demo-
crat, of California for his ideas on in
f1ation, the financier said:
My attitude toward imitation is
that I'm apprehensive about it for the
same reason I would be if a man who
had my trusted possessions began TAX
ing morphine. Some may say he was
strong and a little morphine might
not hurt him, but I still would be ap-
prehensive
Aren't We on an imitation basis
now?" McAdoo asked.
If you neal we've had so much
currency and credit in use, say no
If you mean there is a base on which
to get it, l say yes. We are not in
danger because it can only be ex-
panded as business uses it. That's
the check
Questioned on Optimism.
To another question from Couzens
as to whether durable goods indus
tries were optimistic, Young said it
depended on whether reviving con-
f1dence is shattered again or continued
and built up.
Asked by Senator Byrnes if these
industries would not be boosted If half
of the $4,000 100000 work relief money
went into materials. Young answered
he did not believe that much would
be used for that purpose, and even
though 1t were 1t would not have a
tremendous effect on the durable
goods market because it is such a
large field

Lindbergh, and their 3-year-old
son Jon, to England, where they
hoped to find a haven from con-
slant fears and threats and pub
licity since Charles a. Lindbergh,
jr, was kidnapped in March, 1882.
Tonight Santa Claus will stroll
into the dining salon for the ben
eft of little Jon. whose future and
safety was the real reason for his
parents decision to leave their ma
tive shores. Santa will appear for
his benefit alone, since the Lind
berghs are the only passengers.
COnfided in None
The Lindberghs confided to no
friend how long they expected to
be gone, but most understood they
intended TO take up a more or
less permanent residence in Eng
land. Some believed they would
be gone only year or two, until
after the fate of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann is concluded definitely.
lIhile other friends believed they
would not return home, except for
visits, for many years.
The vortex of the Lindbergh
tragedy, despite the voluntary
withdrawal of one of its chief
actors, convolute dizzily. whirling
Bruno Richard Hauptmann toward
what appeared to be certain death
in the electric chair, and drawing
back into the whirlpool characters
that had been thrown clear.
Hauptmann's appeal to the New
Jersey court of pardons was ready
for the courts consideration. If
it fails his one remaining hope for
life will be an appeal for a new
trial. This last is an even more
forlorn hope. He was unaware
that the Lindberghs had left the
country.
Whirled back into the vortex by
the departure of the Lindberghs
were Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of
New Jersey and Col. H. Norman

state police, who played a promi-
nent part in the investigation that
led to Hauptmann's arrest.
Final Blow
Hoffman was singled out for at
tack in all sections of the country,
especially in his own state, being
blamed for the final blow to the
LindberghS peace of mind that
clinched their decision to exile
themselves. Hoffman revealed a
month ago that he had paid a
secret visit to Hauptmanns cell.
Later he was quoted as doubling
HauptmannS guilt. He repudiat-
ed his statement later, but it did
not diminish the sensation of his
sudden interest in the fate of the
taciturn German carpenter The
threatening letters the Lindberghs
