PENNINGTON. N. j., January S.
The baby murder trial of Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann has turned, in three
short days, into a trial not of the
chalk faced German carpenter alone,
but of many othets-men and women,
persons alive and persons dead.
That is the now apparent strategy
of Edward J. Reilly, the shrewd
Brooklyn lawyer who is directing the
attempt to save Hauptmann from the
chair. With double-edged questions,
Reilly has waved the pointing finger
sometimes subtly, sometimes boldly
in the direction of various persons
whose names have long been familiar
in the Lindbergh case, as well as
some whose names have not.
Who are they concerning whom
Reilly is seeking more light?
There is, for one, Red" johnson.
There Is Ollie Whateley, the butler
for the Charles A. Lindberghs at the
time the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped
and murdered, nearly three years ago.
Whateley is dead. His widow, the
Lindberghs' housekeeper, arises spirit
edly to defend her husbands name.
There is the shy, doe-like Betty
Cow; and Violet Sharpe, the maid

FILM MONOPOLY
PROBE LAUNCHED
Justice Department Sends
Experts to st. Louis for
Grand Jury Inquiry.
BY THEODORE C. WALLEN.

In the first major anti-trust action
in seven years, the Roosevelt admin
istration has started an extensive
investigation of alleged monopolistic
practices involving virtually the entire
motion picture industry. With an eye
to criminal indictments against lead
ing producer distributors, the Depart
ment of Justice has sent experts to
st. Louis for a grand jury inquiry
which is to open tomorrow in test
case.
The Government will present evil
dence in specific instance to show
conspiracy to deny first-caliber Aims
to independent exhibitors. The case
is considered the most important Of
its kind since the breaking OF the
radio trust" in 1928.
Subpoenas for nearly 100 corpora
tions and individuals, executives Of
some of the industry's leading COM
panies, have been issued as the conse-
quence of a complaint that Allen L..
Snyder, an independent exhibitor, was
unable to lease films from any major
producers. The Government contends
that all important distributors acted
in concert in an attempt to curb in
dependent competition in the exhibi-
ton field in st. Louis.
Among the corporations understood
to have been subpoenaed in the
action are Metro Goldwyn- Mayer,
Universal. Radio Keith Orpheum,
Paramount and Warner Bros First
National. Several officials of these
corporations have been served person.
ally with subpoenas.
Independent Baked.
The specific case selected by the
Government as typical revolves around
the reopening of three st. Louis the
aters which Warner Bros. had va
Gated, allegedly in protest against a
landlords refusal to lower the rent.
1t is alleged that Snyder, an independ-
ent, sought to operate the same three
theaters, but was frustrated by an
inability to buy suitable supply of
pictures from any source.
Following closely on the heels Of
repeated assaults against the N. R. A.
motion picture code. the Govern
ment'S contentious represent subStan-
TALLY repetition of charges brought
against the industry last spring by
the N. r. A. Review Board, headed by
Clarence Darrow Assailing the film
code as an example of monopolistic
control countenanced by N. r. A., the
Darrow board contended that the
competition agreement permitted ma
jor producer distributors to stamp out
independent competition through the
suspension of the antitrust law by
the industrial recovery act.
The case is expected to involve the
legality of the block-booking method
of film distribution. despite the fact
that the Federal Trade Commission
several years ago was blocked by Fed
eral courts from outlawing this sales
practice.
Reed Retained as Counsel.
A bitter contest on the part of the
industry is assured since James A.
Reed of Missouri, former United

With majority leaders already hav.
ing pledged approval by their fol-
lowers, Congress this week will tackle
an $3.50, 100000 appropriation to taper
of the dole and then turn at once to
more than four times that amount.
Conferees of President Roosevelt
disclosed this lineup yesterday as
the lead-off for a 20-point program
to be submitted piecemeal from the
White House. Work will be started
Immediately. after receipt on Monday
of what they described as an S8,000,-
100000 budget message.
These same leaders predicted that
Congress would approve the relief
measures without undue delay and
with probably only slight change.
Relief Request Tomorrow.
Probably tomorrow Mr.. Roosevelt is
to send his request for the s880,000,-
600 emergency relief appropriation de-
signed to taper OF direct handouts by
next November Later in the week
he is scheduled to transmit a special
message calling for the creation of
new set-up to handle some S4.000,000,-
600 in carrying out his work-relief
program until private industry alb
serbs some 3,500.000 employables and

taxes which expire at the end of the

ositionS, will be given Congress.
While some members yesterday took
the attitude that these subjects should
be handled separately for legislative
purposes. it was agreed by leaders to
follow Mr.. Roosevelt's plan to lump
them into an omnibus bill.
Final decision on how these meas
ures will be administered has yet to
be made. 1t was suggested in more
than one quarter that a new executive
department of welfare be created. but
there was some objection among the
leaders to this. However. it was de-
cided that at least a central co-ordi-
mating agency should be set up to
unity administration.

gram have not yet been given Demo-

tributions until they were sufficient to
meet demands The Government
