(Continued from Page 1.) Tom Connolly, d, Tex, who declar- ed that:
 "When the history of this republic shall be written his (Wilson's) ti- tanic figure will tower above some of the puny pigmies who now bark at his memory.
 "Some checker playing, beer drinking, back room of some low house is the only fit place for the kind of language which the sera- tor from North Dakota puts into the record about dead man."
 Carter Glass Answers
 Sen. Carter Glass, d., Va, pro- jected his peppery southern drawl into the blazing munitions inquiry controversy today after Sen. Gerald P. Nye, r., N. D., again accused the late President Wilson of "falsify- ing"
 Glass took the floor after an elo- ouent defense by Nye, chairman of the munitions committee. who reit- erated that President Wilson "falsi- fled" about knowledge of secret allied treaties.
 In soft Virginia accents, Glass deplored the rules of the senate which, he said, made 1t impossible flor me to call the man a coward" who attempts to impeach his (Wilsons) integrity"
 Glass brushed aside an assertion by Nye that "the United States en- tered the war knowing that the spoils had been agreed upon"
 He protested that the statements of Nye and munitions committee in- yestigators constituted "a shocking assault upon the character" of the war president.
 Destitute of Decency
 "It occurred to me as more or less intimate friend of the late woodrow Wilson and as a former member of his official family that 1t would be pertinent if I should be the one to answer the shocking as- sault made upon his character and the attempted impeachment or ms integrity" Glass said.
 The wiry, little virginian paused He recalled the rule which prohinits: one member from using personal references against another.
 T would gladly say here or any where to any man whether he pc a United States senator or not that such charges are destitute of de- cency," he said. ,.,.
 Tt is the most shocking exhibition that has ever happened in my time."
 word that Glass was aroused spread quickly, and representatives hurried from the house to near him. =.
 We scrubbed notes on a pad as Glass voice rose in anger.
 "Any man who had access to nN ((Wilson's) thoughts would never have the audacity to suggest tha' he took us into war to save the Wall street dollar," he said.

 Washington, Jan. l7-Six republi- can presidential potentialites have made speaking plans for the next 90 days which should go far toward defining anti-new deal isseues.

Bar Silver Crashed

New York, Jan. 17--(UP)- Bar Silver crashed cents 2 fine ounce here today to 45 3-4 cents an. ounce. a new low since the summer of 1884 and the sharpest daily decline since December IS whe nthe World Silver crisis was at it's height.
 The break here exceeded that in London where silver fell to 19 pence an equivalent to 42.43 American cents--a decline of 7-8 penny and of 1.se cents from yester days level.
 Widness of the breaw indicated that the treasury had withdrawn it's support from the market, allow ing the price to fall to . point where offerings were absorbed by the Silver arts and trade.
 Fears of a new crisis were preci- pitated by the break.

Gouer1or Hoffman
 Defended His Acts
Continued from Page 1)

based on the contention that Hoff- man exceeded his powers in grant, ing the reprieve. Such an action was regarded as almost certain to fail.
 The governors statement, issued while his political foes laid tenta- tive plans for his Impeachment in legislature, partly clarified the cir- cumstances which prompted him to grant Hauptmann @ 30-day reprieve yesterday on the eve of his sched- uled death in the electric chair.
 It made clear that the governor intends to make a final desperate attempt to clear the last shred of mystery from the crime before he permits Hauptmann to walk to the electrocution chamber.
 Defles Impeachment
 Hoffman defied those who de- mand his impeachment.
 His statement was tossed on a long table in the anteroom of his office by his press aide. The gov ernor himself was in seclusion and was not expected to discuss the case further today.
 Only 8 few minutes before the statement was issued. MT. John F. Condon had offered to return from a voyage to Panama to undergo questioning on his role in the Lind- bergh ransom payment, but Attor- ney General David T. Wilentz had turned down his offer as unneces- sary.
 Hauptmann, happy and beaming in the death house, gave not the slightest indication meanwhile that he would change his story of the crime.
 The point which Hoffman made regarding belief that more than one person had participated in the crime had long been a controversial issue among high officials.
 The possibility of court action questioning validity of the reprieve was raised in connection with de- mands by political enemies of the governor for his Impeachment.
 What Could Be Done
 One legislator told the United Press that several small but power- ful" civic groups intended to act against the governor. He said 1t would be possible for a taxpayer to go into court and seek mandamus commanding Warden Mark o. Kim berling to carry ou tthe original or- der of execution.
 Kimberling then would be forced sto tell the court that the reprieve had been granted and the court would have to rule on its legality.
 The purpose of such action, 1t was said. would be political rather than to speed Hauptmanns execution.
 Attorney General Wilentz held ! that a reprieve could not be granted more than 90 days after a conviction, but said he would not question validity of the reprieve, which Hoffman defended on the basis of precedent
 Two Contentious
 In connection with Hoffman's doubts that Hauptmann could have carried out the Kidnapping alone, many important law enforcement officials held that lack of any other leads in tracing the ransom money and other aspects of the crime sup- ported the belief that 1t was one- man job.

NEW BRIDGES
FOR DELAWARE
In Plans of State Highway
Department With Fed
eral Aid
ONE OVER DOVER LAKE

A program of bridge construc-
ton the cost of which will total
about a half million dollars, is
planned by the Delaware State
Highway Department during the
present year. Construction of
these bridges is expected to pro-
vide what is considered much need
ed improvements in various parts
of the State and some of the pro-
jects have been under discussion
for a long period of time Three
of the bridges will eliminate rail-
road grade crossings that have
been considered dangerous and
some of them have been the scene
of numerous fatal accidents in re-
cent years. Heading the list of
projects is the new overhead
bridge over the railroad at New
Castle, which is about completed
and will be opened to traffic as
soon as work on the approaches is
completed. Early next month the
Highway Department will receive
bids for the erection of an over
head bridge at College Avenue,
Newark, which will eliminate the
grade crossing there over the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
from Washington to New York.
The bridge engineering department
of the State Highway Commission,
is working on plans for the erec-
ton of an overhead bridge on the
causeway, South of Wilmington.
which will eliminate two grade
crossings on the main highway of
the State. This bridge will be the
largest project undertaken this
year and the plans are expected to
be completed within the next two
months. Another important bridge
to be erected is at Silver Lake,
north of Dover, where a narrow
bridge at present handles most of
the traffic in the lower part of the
State and which has been the scene
of number of fatal accidents in
recent years. It is planned to
make the Silver Lake bridge an
ornamental structure and the
Highway Department engineers
now have before them several
architectural drawings of proposed
models for this structure. 1t is ex-
pected that definite plans on this
structure will be completed within
the next sixty days. Other bridg-
es on the program for construction
this year are one over the Chris
