But, as she strangled on the

Safety at Sea
The Lesson Is Not Learned Yet

The grounding of the Ward liner Havana Matanila
shoals did not fortunately lead to another panic like that
the Morro Castle.
Two persons reported missing another died Of apo
plexy in ifeboat but there other casualties
There will relief throughout the nation that such
disgaceul characterized the Morro Castle disaster
repeated in this
The accident however, emphasizes the need Of thorough
going reforms in the American merchant marinerefoms
which have yet been carried but which essential
safety at sea.
Chief among these is the enforcement Of naval or naval
standards the personnel Of all American vessels
and pay-by subsidy necesarysufficient attract the
ablest type of officers and crews
Without those all the safety regulations in the world will
be Ineffective
Despite the fine record Of Of its shipping lines the
United States has not learned that lesson YET.

Theory Is Now Junk
President DiscreditS Living Index


It is time for Congress discard the legislative fiction under
which Government employees deprived of cent of their
salaries. '...''
This phony cost of living theory written into law to give
sEMBLANCE OF REsPECTABILITY to MDEFENSIBLE
ACTION continues muddy the thinking of Of best
minds both in Congress and in the executive branch Of the
Government.
When Congress wanted being forced to cut Govern
ment salaries it wanted something upon which it could Try
justify its action to the people back home.
Out Of the of theories which at that time acting
the part Of evenyear locusts in Washington college
PoDGE OF FIGURES and calling them the index Of the
Of living.
Congress swallowed the idea whole Without any adequate
investigation Of the figures arbitrarily decided the index for
1928 compared it with another unnvegated figure for 1888
and then proceeded the cut down the hroats Of the
workers.
Congress could have found without a great deal Of
trouble that there way the world of getting
picture Of the cost Of living of group such the hundreds
Of thousands Of Government workers
Statsans who have struggled with all of figures
the Government and private agencies have compiled would
have told Congress the figures didn't thing
far revealing the true economic conditions confronting
the employees
Apparently during the last session Congress realized that
was imposing ID cent cut in salaries without justification
It restored 10 per cent of the salaries and by that action
DISAV0WED ENTIRELY THE COST OF LIVING THEORY.
Congress had been still deluded by that theory, would
not have made the partial restoration because the figures
under the theory did not justify such action.
Now President Roosevelt has disavowed the
theory although he stuck it little longer than Congress
In his budget message the President recommends COMPLETE
RESTORATION of Government salaries July l. although
he says the figures probably won't justify at
that time
obvious that the President has any respect may
have had for tho theory.
Congress lost its respect for many months ago and
else had any respect for it.
Why then, should stick to it for even minute longer
It rests with Congress to deal the final blow to theory
which seems to be universally dscredited.
The process simple should do NOW what intends
do six months from at the latest.
That to throw the theory and return Government
salaries to an HONEST JUST BASIS the first
January.

PENNINGTON, N. j., February Is.
Here are salient points in the prose-
cution and defense cases in the trial
of Bruno Richard Hauptmann:
The kidnap ladder-The State
charged Hauptmann built it, using a
board from his attic for one of the
rails. A wood expert testified the
other lumber in it came from Bronx
lumber yard where Hauptmann
worked and bought lumber. Defense
witnesses denied the one rail was
ihade with board from the attic and
challenged the authenticity of inden-
tifying nail holes. The defense charged
the ladder was planted"
The ransom notes-Eight hand
writing experts testified for the State
that Hauptmann wrote all IA notes.
One defense expert said Hauptmann
could not have written them and that
they were in a disguised or copied
hand.
The ransom money-The State &C
cused Hauptmann of hiding $14,600
in ransom notes in his garage because
he knew It was Lindbergh money.

that Hauptmann spent the rest of the
$4,000 ransom in specializing in
stocks and in living expenses over a
two and one-half year period
Hauptmann said the money was in
a shoe box left with him by Isador
Fisch before Fisch sailed for Germany,
where he died. He said he played the
stock market with savings and with
money made in the fur business with
FiSch.
Hauptmann's alibis-Hauptmann
his wife and other defense witnesses
testified that on the night of the kid
naping he was at the Bronx bakery
where his wife worked. Prosecution
witnesses swore Hauptmann was near
the Lindbergh estate early that night.
The State attacked the veracity Of
some of Hauptmann's alibi witnesses.
Defense witnesses said Hauptmann
was at home enjoying "moosic" the
night the ransom was paid. Dr. John
F. Condor, ransom Intermediary, and
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh identified
Hauptmann as the John" who re-
ceived the ransom money.

Hauptmann used ransom note to
buy a ticket in November, 1888.
Hauptmann and other defense wit

PENNINGTON. N. j., February
13.-The New Jersey statute under
which Bruno Richard Hauptmann
may be convicted of numbering the
Lindbergh baby may be taken to the
United States Supreme Court for a
test of its ccnstitutionality.
Although defense counsel said they
we're confident the jury would acquit,
a member Of the defense staff eX-
pressed the opinion a Federal ques-
ton was involved.
The indictment against Hauptmann
was drawn, almost word for word
from an act, passed about 1895, which
provided that a culprit could be
charged with flrSt-degree murder il
killing occurred during the COM
mission of a high miSdemeanor, such
as burglary.
A member Of the defense staff
pointed out that a conviction for
first-degree murder, carrying the
death penalty, could not be returned
by the jury unless they were con-
WINGED the killing occurred during
the commission of the underlying
crime. burglary.
The prosecution Contended the
burglary continued as long as the
kidnaper was in flight and conse-
quently. with the death of the baby
occurring at the foot of the kidnaI
ladder. murder conviction was legal
The defense counsel pointed out
however, that the criterion of flight
had not been ruled on by the United
States Supreme Court.
