dispersed with a warning from one
John Appel to "be sure you have
enough ammunition and be ready for
the call at any time"
The Kingfsh was in New Orleans at
the time. but he FASTENED to Baton
Rouge while Governor Allen called out
some troops and proclaimed partial
martial law in the capital. Huey i'm
mediately ordered the recently ap-
pointed Judge j. d. Womack to
start an investigation of what he de-
scribed as plot to murder him. in
which "four sheriffs and district at
torney" were involved. The senator
declared:
1--WE picked up two men, one of them
was going to drive the murder car. 1t
was all fixed up. He was going to
block my car on the highway between
here and New Orleans. make 1t stop
and force me In the ditch, and then IA
or 16 were going to come along In an
other car and kill me.
ave found all the stuff in the fell
lows car. There was sheriff's equip
ment, and everything"
Maybe Huey was right, for one Sid
ney Songy testified at the inquiry that
he had been given gun, ammunition
and gas bombs to kill the senator.
Long blamed the Standard Oil COM
pany for the armed assembly of his
enemies in Baton Rouge and said that
unless the company stopped the 'vio-
lence" his compromise with 1t over
the Scent oil refinery tax would be
called off.
Despite this warning another armed
group of Square Dealers gathered at
the Baton Rouge air field; but some
one betrayed them and a detachment
of the National Guard advanced on
them in battle array. The sight of
machine guns was enough for the
citizenry; they surrendered. and were
disarmed.

One of the peculiarities of the trial
is the number of persons who only saw
Hauptmann for few minutes or sec
onds, but who are able to identify him
more than two years later. The man
accused of killing the first Lindbergh
child is not outstanding in appearance
or one who would be likely to indel-
IDLY impress himself on persons
mind, but both the state and the de-
Tense have been able to produce per-
sons who swear he was the man they
saw the day the crime was committed.
The battle of handwriting experts
has also begun. with the state pro-
ducing experts to swear that the hand
writing on the ransom notes does not
resemble that on the admitted writing
of Hauptmann Their statements are
just as positive as were those made by
the defense witnesses, and it all
proves just a little confusing to the
jury.
Considerable comment was caused
when one of the jurors, a woman,
smiled broadly at Hauptmann as he
left the stand following his examina-
ton, and some wagers have been made
that hung jury will be the outcome
of the trial. Such predictions are
hardly in order. since a single bit of
testimony may yet change the entire
course of the case.

the forces appear to be converging on
an area of disputed territory which
lies south of Manchuli and Hailar.
where northwest Manchukou overlaps
Outer Mongolia. The fndefiniteness of
the border Is blamed for the conten-

limitations that the Japanese gar

enlarge its army in the Far East, and
that Soviet penetration into Outer

There has been no decided change
in the attitude of Chinese leaders to-

term securities the treasury can issue,
Representative Reed OF New York quot
ed Secretary Morgenthau as saying that
the treasury could not finance the work
relief program unless congress broad
ened its bond-issuing authority. So the
house passed the measure at once.
The bill, prepared by the Treasury
department, places the administration
sQuarely against imitation. 1t provides
authority to raise money necessary for
the public works. social security and
similar measures meet federal deficits,
and might even be used to provide
funds for payment of the soldiers

Under provisions of the measure
there would be ten-year bonds in
amounts as small as $25, and as ex-
planned by the Treasury department,
would be sold below par There would
be no interest, but each six months
the bonds would appreciate in value at
the rate of 21s per cent. plus COM

not comforted by statement made by

Soviets In Moscow that the Red army

In four years.
Fortifications along the eastern and

stated, and more will be spent for de-

MHEN the senate passes the s4,-
w 000.000,00O work relief measure,
as 1t certainly will after all the ora
tors get through, there need be no
fussing as to who is to administer the
huge fund. President Roosevelt him
self, according in an authority high in
administration circles, will undertake
that job and will allocate the money
to the various agencies as he sees fit.
There will be no new set-up for this
purpose, unless it may be small group
of advisors selected BY Mr.. Roosevelt.
These may be members of the cabinet
or technical experts-more likely the
latter. This information was given
the senate finance committee as 1t be-
gan consideration of the bill, and was
designed to quiet some of the opposi-
ton and also to curb the ambition Of
certain gentlemen who had hoped to
handle the 100000 1000. It did not,
however, silence those senators of both
parties who still contend thar too much
power is given the President when he
IL handed such vast sum to dis
pose of as he pleases.
A strong possibility is seen that the
bill may be split into two separate
parts. so that the $50 million dollars
needed for relief purposes may be
passed without delay. and the senate
can then take its time in considering
the extraordinary measure which gives
the President such unprecedented pow
ers In spending the four billion dollars

FEARING the anger of their aroused
constituents more than the admins
tration's whip, the senate kicked over
the traces to defeat ratification Of the
world court protocols. The final count
was seven votes short of the necessary
two-thirds.
Frantic efforts to force the measure
through were made by the administra-
ton. Several revolving senators were
called to the White House, and the
President even agreed to amendments
to the resolution, but was unable to
overcome the effects of thousands of
protesting kilograms which had been
pouring into Washington from citizens
all over the country.
In private. many Democratic .sena-
tors who face reelection in 1896 heaved
signs of relief as the measure was de-
feated. Administration forces accepted
the verdict, apparently without rancor,
although the long memory of the man
in the White House is well known.
Seemingly the issue Is dead, for the
present at least.
Senator William Borah, who with
Senator Hiram johnson, led the at
tack on ratification, was jubilanr over
the outcome, declaring that it was a
great victory for the American people
and for this country's traditional
policy of keeping aloof from foreign
entanglements.
Observers at the capital refused to
view the world court vote as any in
dication Of a spreading revolt against
Roosevelt's policies since the court
controversy cut deeper than party
lines. Several senators who opposed
the tribunal will undoubtedly support
the administration on other measures,
although victory of the small band of
irreconcilables who led the fight has
undoubtedly added to their prestige.

Charges-Future of NRA Hangs Upon Outcome

Part Of the money may be used to

ton business, Senator Elmer Thomas
Dem., Okla,) revealed. Gasoline sta
tions may be erected along self
liquidating" highways, he said. The
government may also purchase land ad-
joining these highways and improve 1t
with houses for rent or sale.
Little hope is seen in reporting the
measure out before February 10 when
the relief funds on hand, will expire.
The only hope of meeting this emer-
gency. it is pointed out, is in the pos
sible segregation of the $50 million
dollar cash relief provision from the
main bill.
One development which was of inter-
est to many was that the measure was
prepared under the supervision of Mr..
Bell, the budget director, thus making
him candidate for the physical hang

hand for the government and will
present first testimony concerning
the 100000 canal project in Texas.
1t was asserted that the contract
for this project was Withdrawn
after Mr.. Ickes' investigators had I'M
covered evidence that there was huge
conspiracy to defraud the United
States. Eight or ten persons, includ-
ing federal officials, are said to be in
volved. Mr. Ickes himself said:
"The Public Works administration in
vestigation division has made a long
and careful study of the Texas project
upon the direction of the administrator
Uckes) and presented to the proper
prosecuting officials of the government
a full report for such action as they
deem proper to take"
This Texas case may consume sew
eral weeks. and afterward the grand
jury is expected to investigate some
other projects and also charges of
fraud in the War department.
A LMOST unnoticed among the spec
tacular issues of the day, yet of
momentous Importance, the case of
the United States against Belcher will
be set for hearing by the Supreme
court within few days. This case
opens up discussion on the constitu-
tionality of the heart of the entire
MIRA experiment-the power of the
federal government to regulate wages
and working hours through codes.
Upon this refusal of a small Ala
bama sawmill operator to comply with
the code hangs the entire fate of the
MIRA, for if the government loses there
will be nothing left of NRA except an
empty statement of desirable business
ethics. If the government cannot con-
troll wages and hours in the produc-
ton of goods intended for Interstate
commerce, there is strong likelihood
that the course of legislation to extend
the MIRA beyond June 16 will be strong
ly affected. Other cases now pending
before the court touch upon certain
portions of the vital question, but this
case goes straight to the basic power
of the recovery act. 1t affords clear
cut determination of the fundamental
issues, because there is no dispute as
to facts, no technicalities of law upon
which the issue can be avoided. The
case comes almost as an original case,
since the attorney general took advan-
tage of legal machinery permitting an
appeal directly to the Supreme court
from the decision of federal District
court without recourse to a Court OF
Appeals.
The defendant openly violated the
lumber code. Instead of adhering to
code provision requiring payment of "a
cents per hour for 40-hour maximum
week, he admitted paying his men 10
to Is cents per hour and that he
worked them as many hours as he saw
fit.
What the governments line of de-
Tense will be is not known. The case
involves all the constitutional objec-
lions which might be raised against
the recovery act. Decisions of the court
in the recent oil cases did not touch
upon the constitutionality of the main
body of the act, but involved only a
special section.

'COunt' FleeS Prison
As 100 Watch
Embarrassed G-Men
Launch Man-Hunt
For Con- O perator

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 0N.S).
All the man-hunting resources of
the United States Department of
Justice today were thrown into a
nationwide hunt for Victor
"Count" Lustig. 45-year-old king
OF confidence men, who made a
spectacular escape yesterday from
the Federal House of Detention
here.
Government authorities made
no effort to hide the fact Lustig'S
escape was a source of considera-
BILE embarrassment to them and
that every possible effort would
be made to recapture him.
The count had been in the de-
tention prison under $4,000 bail
since May IL, when Secret Service
agents found key in his posses
sion which allegedly opened
public locker containing $4,000
in counterfeit bank notes and the
engraved plates from which they
were made.
Shortly after noon yesterday
the count escaped in full view of
100 persons by sliding down a
rope of bedsheets from a third
floor dormitory window in the
prison.
Lustig cut his way through a
wire meshing on the dormitory
window while the hundred-odd
prisoners in the Jail were enjoy
ing a relaxation period. Climbing
to the sill he flecked away at real
and imaginary Smudges on the
window. Then. suddenly, the cloth
heightened into the sheet rope
and the "con" man was sliding
to the street.
Detectives believe he ran to an
automobile in which an accom-
plice waited.
