BRUNO PLEADS
FOR CHANCE TO
CLEAR HIMSELF

TRENTON, N. j.. Jan. IA. U.P)-
Gov. Harold G.. Hoffman today
said he had made no decision
on the question of granting, a re-
prieve that would prevent execu-
tion of Bruno Richard Hauptmann
Friday night.
Hauptmann's lawyers, meantime
continued conferences, preparatory
to making an eleventh-hour ap-
peal to the federal courts to save
the convicted murderer of Charles
A. Lindbergh. Jr., from death in
the electric chair.
Chances of obtaining any con-
Sideration for him there were so
slim it generally was agreed
Hauptmann will die Friday night
unless the governor decides to act
in the face of threatened political
opposition to interference with the
execution.
Hoffman was busy today with
other matters in connection with
convening of the state legislature
which met at noon, and was not
expected tC make a decision on
the reprieve question until tomor-
row or later.
AS his execution hour grew near
cr, Hauptmann himself began to
grasp frantically at any straws,
pleading for lie detector test and
an interview with Col Lindbergh.
Hauptmann betrayed growing
anxiety by sending a message to
authorities through his wife that
he would talk to anybody-Dr.
Condor, Colonel Lindbergh-any-
body"

new LIBRARY
SITES STUDIED
Former Offices Of
Theater May
Be Used

Several tentative sites are
under consideration for tenn
porary public library quar-
ters in Ell Centro pending
an attempt by the library
board and the city council to OBJ
tain permanent quarters for the
library staff, members of the
boards said Tuesday.
The Ell Centro library building
was condemned recently as unsafe
for public use, largely because of
earthquake hazards.
No decision has been made in
selecting temporary quarters.
Among quarters considered are the
former Bank of America rooms at
the southwest corner of Main and
Sixth streets, the Imperial Valley
Hardware company Storeroom
across State street from the con-
demned library structure, the
former Fox Imperial theater offices
and the space below the Elks lodge
on Main street.
The library boards budget does
not provide a sufficient sum to
allow payment of a large amount
for rent, with the result that diff
ficulty has been met in locating
a satisfactory place to house the
library. Because of the same diff
ficulty, any rented building will
furnish only temporary quarters,
members of the two boards agreed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ia.
A congressional drive to
curb the powers of the SUI
preme and other federal
courts won fresh support
today with a declaration by Sen.
George w. Norris, r., Neb., that
only by this method could a new
farm aid program be protected
against attack.
Norris declaration came as both
house and senate agricultural COM
mittees studied proposals designed
to replace the invalidated AAA.
He said he had come to the re
luctant belief" that, unless congress
curbed the powers of federal courts
in constitutional cases, substitute
AAA measures probably were
doomed to the same fate as the
new deal agricultural keystone.
Such a proposal already had
been advanced in the house where

w. S. Fitzer, Imperial county
SRA director, and Ralph L. Golf,
supervisor of intake and certifica-
tion for WPA, appeared before the
council presenting figures showing
the inability of WPA to take care
of the actual needs of large fami-
lies.
1t was pointed out that the
head of a large family receives
only S44 monthly from WPA
work, which is insufficient to care
for food, rent, clothing, medical
care for his dependents. Conse-
quently, an additional burden fer
the care of this family is thrown
on the community. Heads of small
families or single men do not
fare SO badly.
Can Get S85
Head of a family on direct re-
lief, it was stated, may receive as
lnuch as $85.
Fitzer, however, explained that
this amount is not generally paid
although it might be permissible
under regulations for family OF
II Cr Ia members. In this county
single man receives S17-20 dol
lars. The average budget is $4C
and for extremely large families
about $40.
The council appointed conf
mittee of which Roger M. V. Wal
ton is chairman, to draw up res
olutions protesting the meager al
lotment for workers on WPA prof.
ects. These resolutions will be sent
to the various organizations of the

X LAWYERS SLAPPED -.

i; METHOD WRONG &.
+ MORE TO COME
BY CHARLES STEWART

WASHINGTON d. C.-The fed
eral supreme courts decision against
the AAA reflects most unflattering
upon the constitutional acument of
the New Deals lawyers. For it now
becomes evident that the act could
have been been made supreme
court-proof if it had been drafted
with that necessity in view.
1t is conceded by all authorities
that congress was entitled to vote
the processing tax as a revenue
measure.
1t was not SO voted, however. 1t
was voted in fashion to make it
plain that the idea was to take
money out of the pockets of one
class-the processors-to put it into
the pockets of another class-the
farmers.
Had the levy's proceeds been
turned into the treasury with no
strings on it instead of being conf
mitted to the AAA'S care it would
have been all right.
Then congress could have appro-
priated as much as it chose out of
the treasury as grant to agricul-
ture. 1t would have been a subter-
fuge but it would have outmaneu-
vered the supreme court which
would have been powerless to veto
an appropriation of already collected
funds.
