Defense Hard Hit

Hauptmann today was figura-

dealt him by the State at his trial.
The furtive, poker-faced ex-con-
vict has had a bad week in court.
His trial adjourned until Monday,
he was alone with his thoughts.
today as he paced his cell in the
Hunterdon county jail, smoking
necessarily and hiding his feelings.
His guards thought he seemed
g. bit shaken by the dramatic hap
penings of the past few days but
they were not sure. Nobody can
quite figure Bruno Hauptmann.
Hauptmann saw no less per-
sonage than Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh give him a shove in the
direction of the electric chair when
he twice accused him of the kid
naping and murder of his son.

ransom money to the supposed
kidnapers. And, second, Colonel
Lindbergh under cross-examina-

Hauptmann was the man who
kidnapped his baby.
And if that was not enough to
give the inscrutable Hauptmann
something to worry about there

NEW YORK, Jan. S ON.SO.
A plea for a psychological dis.

understandings existing in the
minds of the American and Japa-
nese people concerning the dan
ger of each nation becoming a
menace" to the other was made
today by Japanese Ambassador
HiroSi Saito in an address before
the Foreign Policy Association
here.
Mr.. Saito pointed out the aver
age citizen in Japan thinks the
United States is just as much a
danger to Japan as the average
American may be inclined to
think Japan is to this country.
He sought to explain the reasons
why the Japanese citizens had
even more justification in holding
this view than the American.
Sees "Big Stick"
He implied that ever since Com.
modore Perry entered Japanese
ports in 185S-54 with "Such mon.
SterS Of warfare as our people had
never seep," the Japanses people
felt the United States had sought
to hold a "big stick" over Japan in
the Orient.
He cited all the important in.
stances in which the United States
had opposed Japan's actions in
the Far East. Comparing Japan'S
annexation of Korea to this coun.
try's acquisition Of the Philippines,
Mr.. Saito said it was difficult for
the japanese to understand why
the United States should consider
Japan'S action "imperialistic
while yours was altruistic.''
CHANCE OF ATTACK
Under the 5-5-3 ratio system, he
declared there as "at least the
chance Of attack upon Japan and
none whatever upon the United
States or Great Britain" he
added:
"The best we could ever do
would be to capture far-OutIying

He reiterated Japan had no

signs in the Far East or anywhere
else" and asserted both Japan

With renewed confidence Gov

The confidence was engendered
by the words of praise in Presi-

undisturbed by his later action
in continuing the present 5 per

order.
Friends of the Government
workers on Capitol Hill today
professed to find in yesterdays

needed to bring into line enough
votes, not only to repeal the
pay cut as of the first Of the

several much-needed reforms in
the civil service.
Garry Full Salaries
Half a dozen bills restoring
the last 5 per cent already have
been presented or prepared. Like
wise there have been prepared
amendments to appropriation
bills designed to have the same
effect. It is, of course, gen.

the next fiscal year carry pro-

not become effective until July /.

This is the story of man who
has the courage of his lack of con-

The man is Emil Rahke, president
and treasurer of the Silent Sales
man Co., Incorporated in 1882, and
situated at 236 E. New York-st.
The Silent Salesman Co. prints
tickets for baseball pools named
Moon and Lightning. One is a s.
cent book and one 10-cent book,
and police say that selling them vio-
lates the gambling laws.
To test their theory. they arrest
ed Mr.. Rahke in April, 1888, and
charged him with selling them, but
the case was dismissed IN Municipal
Court. They tried again in June
and again the case was dismissed.
In July they met with the same
luck. In October they changed the
charge to that of operating a lot
terry. but that was dismissed and
in April, 1884, they again charged
him with operating a lottery. This
was dismissed.
