Manufactures Offer
Platform BristIing
With Criticism

NEW YORK, Dec. 5 QNS).
Indicating its growing distrust of
the economic and social policies
of the National Administration.
the National Association of Man
ufacturers today prepared to
adopt a platform for business dis
owning the recovery efforts OF
President Roosevelt.
The platform, submitted to del.
egates as the final session Of the
manufacturers fortieth annual
convention got under way, was ex-
pected 10 be adopted this after
noon With little or no change in
form 0fSphrasing.
BristIing Criticism
Calling for a return of the
American system" in government,
the platform bristled with direct
and implied criticism of the Pres.
ident'S policies, in startling con-
trast to that adopted by the man
ufacturers' group last year. At
that time, the association drafted
and ratified a resolution pledging
friendly cooperation with the Ad-
miniStration.
Revival of private enterprise,
the draft platform asserted, is
the one means of Fastening ma
tional recovery.
This revival" the document
asserted, "is being prevented by
a persistent departure from the
proven principles of social and
economic organization on which
American progress, prosperity and
civilization have been built.
This American system has not
failed. 1t has not collapsed. 1t

Essential Demands
Essentials of this system, to
which the manufactures de-
manded a return, the platform
sets forth as:
Maintenance of constitutional
guarantees and preservation Of
the Constitution in historic form;
fostering of individual enterprise
and initiative; abolition of undue
governmental regulation of the
business and social life of the
nation; reduction of Government
expenditures, debt and taxes to

SENTENCE
Jersey Governor Probes
Case; New Evidence
Is Claimed 4

NEW YORK, Dec. 5 O.E.S.).
According to a story appear.ng to-
day in the Evening Journal, Gov.
ernor Hoffman of New Jersey has
been conducting private inves.
tigation of Bruno Richard Haupt.
mann's case, and has uncovered
facts which may inject new SEN
sationS into the famous Lind.
bergh crime.
The newspaper states it has
learned from an unimpeachable
source close to the governor that
the new facts disclosed may save
Hauptmann from the electric
chair or at least delay his execu.
ton indefinitely. &
The governor launched his in
vestigation last April, according to
the Journals story, and pressed
into service a nationally famous
detective, who is resident Of New
Jersey.
Long Away From Chair
Just what the governors
private investigation turned Up,
I don't know" the Journal quotes
an unnamed high State Of.
ficial" as declaring. But one
thing is certain. Hauptmann is
a long way from the electric
chair, no matter what the United
States Supreme Court decides on
his petition. Hauptmann may
never die in the electric chair.
Ever since Hauptmann's con-
viction, the governor was anxious
to sift the wheat from the chaff
in the trial at Pennington. Many
of us, along with the governor,
thought the case could stand
some private investigation.
Hint Parker On Job
Governor Hoffman took the in
itiative and ordered the best de-
tectives in the country to take
charge privately. I don't believe
either the State Or Federal police
are aware of this"
The journal adds that although
the name of the detective heading
the investigation was not learned,
Ellie Parker, ace investigator for
Burlington county, has been a
regular and frequent visitor to the
Governors office in Trenton.

consultant and two former Inter

Those on trial are Frank B, Nc.

with conspiring to defraud the

selves engaged to negotiate a re-
duction in a $4,000 assessment

Mr.. Conlin, explained that Mr..
McElh1ll's first approach in July,
1884, was referred to him. After
q brief discussion in which McEl-
hill described his experience in
handling tax cases, the witness
quoted McElhill as saying:
my usual practice is to take
the boys in Washington to night
clubs, where we discuss the case
without so much regard to its
merits"
Mr.. Conlin made frequent ref

explained, accounted for every
minute of each working day, to-
gether with what occurred during
business engagements.
Quick Settlement Promised
Mr.. McElhill told him, the wit
ness said, that he knew the head
of the bureau in the tax unit from
whom the conferee who would
handle the McCarter case would
take orders, and that he could
dispose of the case in three

Italians Knock Out Hopes
For Peace in Ethiopia
BY HUDSON HAWLEY


ROME, Dec. GN.SD.-The
italian government today semi.
officially blasted the recently
growing hopes for peace in East
Africa and the Mediterranean.
Dashing icy cold water over
talks now being held and sched.
uled for the next few days to try
to find a solution to the Ita1o-
Ethiopian war, the government
issued solemn warning against
optimism in the current crisis.
Significantly, while Paris and
London dispatches carry bright re-
ports that negotiations are near.
ing an agreement they believe will
be acceptable to Premier Mus
solini, the warning was given in
Italian government circles that
settlement of both the Italo.
Ethiopian and the Italo-British
situations still is far from being
an actuality.
Veto Predicted
The plain inference was that II
Duce probably will veto the peace
proposals presently under con.
Sideration. Whether they even
may be used as a basis for nego.
tiation appeared doubtful in view
of the government warning today.
In particular, regarding the de-
liberations of Maurice Peterson,

The continued tendency for bangs

fure. which is variously attributed to
Katharine Hepburn by movie fans,
and to Gabrielle Chanel by fashion,
ists who remember how she first tip
ped her little pancake hats and then
her couture down over the forehead,

haven't been since the automobile
scarfs Of by-gone days. They have
always been flattering, and now they
are also so smart that everyone Is
wearing them.
s The shapes are pleasantly varied,
though almost all Of them remain
slightly stiffened IN one fashion or
another. Mainbocher, who favors
narrow laces, does an entirely new
thing in his draping of fine Chantilly
lace around the face to replace the
veil. Henses it as q frame in one Of
the. bonnet shaped hats, sometimes
with a chin strap, too. Again he takes
the more conventional veil and in
stead Of sewing it at the edge, hangs
it directly over the eyes under q wide
brimmed hat.

smart young society women living in
hot climates decided that these were
perfect to wear In the garden or when
receiving intimate friends. All that
was needed was q long, plain sheath
slip and the nightgown became q
feminine, attractive dinner or garden
dress.
The idea Of having q number Of
tailored, unadorned nightdresses to
sleep in, to be discarded on awaken
ing for q fresh satin robe completed
by an attractive jacket or 'liseuse,"

fabric or in taffetas, is another good

New York-Not all pastels are dusty

As predicted last winter. the love-

combine two, three and often four
shades. You'll see practically no pure

women will go in for white dresses

and jackets and hats that do not
