The colonel said he heard no sus-

He acknowledged that 1t would be

steal up to the nursery through the
front door, but declared 1t would be
improbable.

could have taken the baby out the

Lindbergh was not allowed to m.

ever heard that he himself had been
marked for kidnapping. Reilly also
wanted to know If he had shown
himself at any Of the windows on the
night of March ! and II he had any
indication the telephone wires were
tapped. Lindbergh didn't have.
There appeared scant possibility
that Betty Cow, the dark Scotch
nurse of the slain child, would testify
Friday. She was to have followed
Mrs. Lindbergh on the stand Thurs
day, but she was so distraught after
hearing her mistress testimony that
she was unable to take the stand.
Mother Tells Of Last Day
The young mother for Is minutes
told her story Of her last day and night
with her first-born, and though her
eyes cleaned as if dampened with
tears, never did she lose her compos-
ure.
| She looked at q photograph Of her
son, described the nursery and how
she dressed him for bed.

She touched the shirt without
flinching, and when Wilentz asked II
the soiled little garment was the same,
she nodded, said "yes."
Quickly she ran through the story
Of how she and her husband realized
their child had been stolen, how she
sent out an appeal to the kidnaper to
take care Of the child, how she never
saw him again.
No Cross-examination
Reilly declined to cro6s-examine her

consumers in New Deal councils.
It would coordinate the work Of
the NRA Consumers Advisory Board

give consumers voice which wouldn't

sorship.
Mrs. Run,sey, 40 chairman Of the
CAB and q member Of the NEG, was
pushing that program. It was . lone
battle, but she had great influence
at the White House and among other
big New Dealers.
It was commonly supposed that
Mrs. Rumsey would win out:
Whether there will be anyone who
can now supply the inside pressure
which Mrs. Rumsey had or whether
the consumer viii be relegated to
his old forgotten man. status and
the Thorp plan discarded Is large
question.
IT'S important-if you're interested
in your status as consumer. Very
largely through Mrs. Rumsey's ef-
forts and those Of tho men she
brought here to fight the consumers
battle, MIRA has experienced . large
change Of heart and Is setting its
face against such consumer soaking
devices Is price fixing and production
control by code.
MIRA finally realized that when
competition Is restricted by q govern
ment, that government must do
something to safeguard the consumer.
AAA apparently still doesn't get the
point. Those who watch the output
Of the Consumers Counsel's office
are beginning to wonder why it Is
pulling 50 many punches. and AAA
marketing agreements strongly in
dictate that the influence Of consum-
er representatives In AAA has been
on the wane.
In both NRA codes and AlA mar
keting agreements are many provi-
sions inimical both to the consumer
interest and to recovery which can't
be attacked and exposed without the
existence Of q strong government
agency which places consumer inter-
est first.
Although Mrs. Rumsey's political
influence did q lot for the consumer,
her success in personally recruiting
brilliant economists for the New Deal
was quite as spectacular.
She persuaded Dexter M. Keezer to
become director Of CAB and he guild
ed the ultimately effective consum-
er campaign throughout the General
johnson period.
She got willard Thorp to aid CAB
and represent it on the N2A Advi-
sorry Council, ana then. to take
charge Of the NEG consumer divi-
sion, which he has left to become
chairman Of the NRA council.
She dragooned DR.. Walton II.
Hamilton from Yale Law School to
the CAB, whence he was elevated by
Roosevelt to the National Recovery
Board. She persuaded DR.. Thomas

counsel ct AAA, to head the CAB
