PRESIDENT GIVEN
.N.R.A. AUTO REPORT
White House Conference Is
Expected to Be Called
in Few Days.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated FTeSS.
The NJ R. A. report on how to regu-
larize automobile employment went to
President Roosevelt's desk yesterday,
Just a week before the induStry's code
expires.
The American Federation of Labor
has demanded drastic revision Of the
code before it is renewed, and both
Mr.. Roosevelt and the N. r. A. admin
istrative board gave considerable time
to the problems presented by these
demands.
Confers With Leader.
The President conferred with at
least one labor leader on automobiles,
while the board studied the Research
and Planning Divisions employment
regularization report with a view
to completing its recommendations
within q few days.
A White House conference, attended
by both automobile labor and industry
leaders. was expected by many o1n-
cials to be called some time next
week.
AS another development in the
N. R. A. field, the President said at
his regular press conference that he
was looking for a way to stop sales OF
some articles below cost-"loss lead
ers," the trade calls them-to draw
customers.
Fight on Price-Fixing.
Signs increased, nevertheless, that
the administration wanted to rid N.
r. A. codes of price-f1xing provisions.
The President said almost 80 per
cent of the dealers in special goods
such as books and tobacco depended
for livelihood exclusively on articles
often sold elsewhere as Gloss leaders"
He said he felt special prices offered
by larger stores on these articles, be-
low their cost of production, was an
unfair practice to the small dealers
and should be stopped. He IS seeking
method. Legislation is in prospect.
Mr.. Roosevelt declined to talk for
publication on Government price-f1x-
ing, but he has been weighing this
subject for some time.

PENNINGTON, N. j., January 26.-
Shaken by the prosecutions slashing
attack on his story of innocence,
Bruno Hauptmann found restorative
today in the jurors reaction.
Il did not feel that they bore me
any i'll will" he told Egbert Rose
Rosecrans, one of his attorneys.
II tried to tell part of my story to
them and I believe they heard and
understood it.
Particularly around the end of my
direct testimony and throughout all
the cross-examination, thought they
listened attentively and that is good.
"They know, am sure, that I am
not hiding anything. I have nothing
to hide"
Studying in his cell the records OF
his stock market ventures and bank
deposits, the German carpenter
turned-trader sought answers to any
of the questions Attorney General
Wilentz might ask to convince the
jury LI1dC his Capital WAS I41C AAiA0
bergh ransom horde.
White and perspiring, Hauptmann
left the witness chair late yesterday
visibly affected by the half-hour on
slaught of WilentZ.
Hauptmann retired to his cell quar-
ters and soon after supper buried him
self in study of his financial records.
His appetite remained good, despite
the strain of the afternoons ordeal,
and he slept soundly.
Mrs. Hauptmann paid him brief
but comforting visit soon after the
court session adjourned.
II have never seen the man SO COM
posed" said Rosecrans. 1T is as
though he had a great load lifted
from his shoulders"
Rosecrans said Hauptmann told
him:
"It seems to me that I will get a
fair trial.
1.-THE judge does not seem inclined
to sentimentality one way or the other
in the case. am glad of this. He
will be able to judge the case on the
evidence and the truth.
ct think that we have the jury's
attention now. I noticed at first that
sometimes they were not paying strict
attention to the witnesses.
mot all the jury, you understand,
but some of them. And I want them
all to know everything there is to be
known about the case.
Believes Jury Will Be Fair.
From what I can see in the faces
of the jurors, they will probably be
as fair as any jury in the country
could be in this case.
When the case started had the
feeling that the audience was a little
over-enthusiastic for my conviction.
"A lot of little things indicated that
there might have been good deal Of
feeling against me.
But during the last day or two
have noticed that this attitude seems
to have changed.
THE court room seems to take my
story with some of the sincerity with
which I give it.
"The people seem to be as much in
clined my way as they appeared to be
swayed by the several pieces of dam
aging but untrue evidence offered
against me during the States case.
ct suppose it is natural for the peo-
pie to get excited in a case like this. "
Frankly" Rosecrans said, "I ex-
pected that Hauptmann would have
an uphill fight The baby was so
celebrated and the case so notorious.

way to save herself from Marshall.

still loved him. He still had an ire

man. She thought OF the look that
had burned in his eyes and realized
the danger that brewed around her.
But maybe she had the wrong slant.
Maybe she was just old-fashioned,
narrow, silly. Hadn't Marshall told
her why he had married Libby, that
he loved only her, Betsy? Hadn't she
always known that Marshall was
weak? Jennie said he was a born
"sqpirer Of dames"-that he always
would be-that nothing could change
him. Well, If those other girls, those
wild, rackety young debutantes-Jen-
ME said there were some-could 60 as
fast as they did just for thrill, why
must she hold back from love that
asked only to anticipate a marriage
postponed. Indefinitely postponed?
Would Marshall really divorce Libby?
Would he? Suddenly she buried her
face in her palms. What am I think
ing? What am I thinking? must
be mad-mad!"
She got up quickly from the bed,
hurried to the mirror and powdered
her cheeks, outlined her lips and ran
a cursory comb through her golden
curls. Then she flew UP the stairs
to Johns room.
