Hoover Claims New Deal Stops
 Clear Thinking
Advance of Civilization Im- periled, Says Former
 President Tn Speech

FORT WAYNE, Ind, April G. Former President Herbert Hoover continued his attack on the Roose- welt Administration and New Deal policies when, in a Saturday night address in this northeastern h. diana industrial and farming cen ter, he charged that "the most dangerous invasions of liberty by the New Deal have been not in the economic field but in corrup- ton of clear thinking"
 This broadcast was the thirt- eenth of series of tirades against the New Deal by the former presi- dent and was considered by many as eclipsing in bitterness all of his previous outbursts.
 The Supreme Court, he said, can check invasion of economic free dom, but corruption of clear think ing is, in the long view, far more sidious and destructive to safe guards of America"
 The one-time President declar- ed: Civilization has advanced only whenever and wherever the critical faculty of the people has been free alive, and unpolluted. It slumps whenever this is misinformed, sup pressed or intimidated."
 The American people, he said are not easily intimidated, how ever.
 Reviewing events during the sum mer of 1892, before the election in which he met overwhelming defeat Hoover remarked: Tt has been well established by disinterested econ omists that America was shaking itself clear of the depression under it's Republican Administration ir June and July, 1882, and it was uncertainties following election that set back this progress"
 Hoover charged that the Demo cratic Administration has failed 1T it's solution of many problems which faced the nation in 1892.

Stuhharn Resistance
AERIAL ATTACK CAUSES
 NEGOTIATIONS, GENEVA

GENEVA, April 6.-Spurred by the Italian aerial attack on Adds Ababa last Saturday, the League of Nations has officially called the Cnciliation Committee of Thirteen to meet Wednesday and consider East African peace negotiations.
 The League has also published the Ethiopian communication which vehemently protests the lombard ment of Emperor Halle Selassie's capital city.
 Act of Aggression
 The communication says that during the attack Saturday num- erous shots were fired from ma chine guns when the invaders planes were flying very low over the town which was completely devoid of troops as means of de- fense. This permitted the enemy planes to fly over Adds Ababa at a low height with impunity.
 This constitutes an act of ag- gression against an open town and affords incontestable proof of the enemys intentions to lombard the town which is a fragrant violation of Article 25 of The Hague con- vention prohibiting aerial attack on undefended towns"

HOFFMAN FOR PRESIDENT"| IS
 NOW SUGGESTED
Defender of Sacco-Vanzetti Lauds Governor as Log ical Contender

CONCORD, Mass, April 6.-Ed- ward Holton James, nephew of William James, noted psychologist and Henry James, essayist and nov elist, started Hoffman for Presi- dent" boom yesterday.
 James, who took an active but unofficial part in the defense of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van zetti, executed as murderers several years ago, lauded Gov. Harold C. Hoffman of New Jersey for his eff forts in behalf of Bruno Richard Hauptmann.
 Hoffmans courage in trying to save Hauptmann made him a log ical man." said James in public statement, for the Republican nom ination for President
 He said he planned to organize Hoffman for President" clubs in all Massachusetts cities and towns.
 T hope to send delegates to the National Republican Convention to place Gov. Hoffman's name in the nomination" he declared.
 James, a retired Concord lawyer, recently entered into controversy over the refusal of a Lynn school boy to salute the flag, and, as a result of his visit to the school, was arrested and fined $25
 James compared Hoffman to Emile Zola, French writer, who eventually proved Captain Alfred Dreyfus innocent, even after Drey- fus was sent to Devils Island.

HAUPTMANN IS
 YET THORN IN
 JERSEY SIDES
Investigation Goes on While Politics Fume-Wen-
 del Still Held

TRENTON, N. J., April G. Bruno Richard Hauptmann is dead at last from the averaging volts of New Jersey justice, but he is still a living issue in the States politics.
 Late Saturday the body of Haupt- mann was taken from the State Prison to New York for cremation. With its removal, New Jersey would have liked to have written closed" to the plotted pages of her most famous crime, the Lindbergh baby murder, but several other agencies, topped by Governor Harold G. Hoffman himself, continued to chal- lenge the supposition that New Jersey justice has been served.
 Wendell in Jail
 Less than a mile from the prison walls, Paul H. Wendell, disbarred attorney, remained in jail under a formal charge that he, not Haupt- mann, Kidnapped the son of Charles A. Lindbergh the night of March 1, 1882 While a charge of kidnap- ing is awaited from the grand jury now considering the case in nearby Hunterdon County, no one takes seriously the charges against Wen del except Ellis Parker, Burlington County's famous country detec- tive" whose independent investiga- tion led to Wendel's arrest.
 The charges, however, remain, and will remain until they are formally disposed of.
 Meanwhile, Gov. Hoffman slapped back at his opponents, who request ed he withdraw as a candidate for reelection on the basis of his ac- tivities in the Hauptmann case, with the declaration: T have filed my petition as candidate and will stand on that candidacy if I only receive ten votes"
 Gov. Hoffman said he would go on with the Investigation, believing the mystery remains unsolved.
 Decision as to who shall receive the S25, 900 reward which the State posted for the arrest and convic- |tion of Hauptmann will be an- nounced soon.
 The foreign press, according to advices received here, generally de- voted much space to Hauptmann's execution, with much caustic criti- cism on the circus" manner in which the trial and execution were handled

 OF COLDSTEIN
 MADE PUBLIC
Mayor Gives Comprehen- slve Statement Past,
 Future Expenditures

"FolloWing a year featured by the largest public improvements program in Juneau's history, the coming fis- cal period promises an era of nor- mai expenditures for the City of Ju- neau," Mayor l. Goldstein said in a statement released today.
 With additional grants approved by the Public Works Administration covering the original loan and grant agreement, the City will have avail : able sufficient funds to take care Of all important sewer and sidewalk projects without dipping into the general funds or increasing the city's indebtedness, the statement con- tinued.
 Permanent Improvements
 Tt should be borne in mind that most of the money spent the past year above normal requirements went for permanent improvements that may be regarded as invest ments. The paving of streets and concrete sidewalk and bridge con- struction is certain to save the city at least S4,000 year in maintenance costs. We spent nearly $6,000 putting the city wharf in good condition, to accommodate the Northland com pany, and making the wharf defi- nite asset instead of a costly lia- bility. The wharf came within $l ,0OO of earning sufficient revenue to pay for these repairs and all operating costs. After allowing $500 for ad- ditional repairs, the wharf will un- doubtedly net at least S4,000 this coming year exclusive of deprecia- ton charges.
 ''The new heating plant at the City Wharf costing $2,500 was ne- cessary to accommodate new tenants and new business" the statement points out. Installation of the new oil burner at the City Hall, burning crude oil, at a cost of $963.00. should pay for itself in two years through reduced cost of operation.
 City Hall building repairs cost ing $1,20O, repairs and renewal Of equipment at the school buildings to the extent of approximately S4,0O0 mean that building maintenance costs at these three buildings will be on a normal basis this year.
 Willoughby Ave. Needs
 Considerable surfacing will have to be done on Willoughby Avenue to put that thoroughfare in better con- dition, and the street needs im- proved sidewalk facilities. The City should also get a street sprinkler to reduce the dust nuisance, and this will not involve heavy expendi- ture.
 Gold Creek, I feel confident" the Mayor said. lis now in first-class condition to withstand the heaviest freshets. It cost the city $500 the past year to complete the revetment work and repair the damage caused by washouts.
 Women Start Campaign
 "As a result of campaign by public spirited club women and other citizens, preliminary steps have been taken for the construction of new public library building. The City Council has made application to the PWA for loan and grant of s30,000 of which amount the City would re- ceive back AS per cent, making nei cost of $16,50c. It was felt that if the people wanted a new library build ing this substantial saving in cost. would be worth realizing At tho Councils request Delegate Dimonc introduced in Congress bills author izing the City to issue bonds for thu (Continued ol1 Page Threel
