COST MILLION TO
 CONVICT BRUNO

(Continued from Page l) the state of New Jersey must pay to each of the six lay members of the court of pardons which will make the final ruling on his fate.
 All these items are insignificant in comparison with the vast sums spent by local, state and federal authorities in Investigating the Lindbergh case and convicting Hauptmann. The exact sum never can be calculated because police and other agencies often were intermin- giing their work on the Lindbergh case with other matters.
 The trial at Pennington cost about $ll5,000. New Jersey police say their entire expenses on the case added another $l20,000 to the states expenses. New York city police de- voted around $200000 to the case. And one person in position to make a fairly accurate estimate has figured that the many federal agen- cies concerned in the case from time to time spent possibly $500, ,000.
 News Mad Press
 St. Petersburgh. Fla, Jan. 10 - (UP)-Gov. Harold c. Hoffman, of New Jersey, in a letter purportedly signed by him. today blamed "News-Mad" press for "misrepre- senting" his motives in visiting Bru- no Richard Hauptman in his cell.
 The letter was written to Charles Schulensen. New Market, N. J., winter resident here and friend Of Gov. Hoffman.
 The writer denied he had ever expressed sympathy for Haupt- mann, condemned Lindbergh baby slayer, and said that in visiting Hauptmann's cell. he was moved neither by a cheap motion of publicity nor of political advantage but by a sense of duty"
 If a convicted man can produce ev!ss nee calling for reconsideration of the verdict, he should be given an opportunity to produce it." the letter continued. Tt is my feeling that the thousands of rumors al- leging existence of evidence not represented at the trial should be set at rest so far as humanly possi- ble to do so."

Canadian banks. The story of how Weisman raised himself from news- boy to a millionaire by outwitting shrewd business men throughout the country kept Q court room crowded throughout his trial. He never attended school a day. but had a flair for finance and an in1- posing appearance accentuated by cutaway coats and white-piped vests. His own contention was that he made his fortune by betting scientifically" on race horses. He stuck to the story through the jeers of prosecutors and the laughter Of spectators.
 Postofiice inspectors said Weisman had been mulcting millionaire vic- tims by fraud for 10 years. He evaded capture until last August and then maintained his dignity by sufrendering, attended by . corps of lawyers. He defrauded Roths- child by proposing to buy Roths. child Bros, largest Ithaca depart
 nent store, and 70 manipulating transfers of funds that in an tn- guarded moment Rothechild left 6 large sum in Weismans hands. Welsman disappeared. Lewis and H0sford lost similarly iu deals fok |A4 t&t&+

LINDSTROM HAS
 BEEN RELEASED

Chicago, Jan. 10-(UP)-Freddie Lindstrom, outfielder and third baseman, today was given his un- conditional release by the Chicago Cubs.
 Lindstrom, Chicago boy who had a long, successful career with both the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates, came to the Cubs last season in one of the Major deals of the 1884 winter trading.
 The Cubs explanation for the re- lease was that Lindstrom is too valuable a man to be warming the bench as a substitute and the Cubs have plenty of young talent for both third base and the outfield. Consequently he is given the op- portunity to place himself where he can play regularly.
 Lindstrom is timely and heavy hitter, although his average slump ed due to mid-season illness.

agreed upon by administration lead- CTS as the best possible substitute for the AAA.
 Wallace declined to comment upon the proposal. He said the meet ing was to obtain the advice of farm CTS themselves and that their views would be considered before arriv- ing ct a decision.
 Wallace and Davis scrutini2ed credentials of farm representatives to keep out any "afI1liates of the American Liberty league or the big proceSSorS.
 George N. Peek. first AAA admin istrator who recently resigned as head of the import-export bank, is- sued statement sharply critical of the meeting.
 Protective Barriers
 In an open letter distributed to all attending the meeting, Peek urged creation of high protective barriers to keep out all foreign agricultural products. appropriation by congress of special funds to make good of ex- isting AAA contracts, efforts to open up foreign markets and creation of a foreign trade record.
 He urged a foreign trade board to "get rid of the control of our for eign trade policies by doctrinaries, amateurs and careerists acting free of congressional restraint"
 Peek, who broke with the admin istration on farm policies a few months after the AAA was organ ized, charged that the only farm ailment remedy the administration utilized to any extent was the due bious one of restricting and regi- menting production"

 Chairman Jesse Jones of the REC which finances the commodity cred- 1t corporation with nearly $500, ,000,- GOO outstanding in loans to farmers announced the corporation would continue making loans, at least un- til lawyers have had chance to examine thoroughly the courts AAA decision.
 Congressman, recovering from the first shock of the courts decision, advanced various proposals for substitute AAA legislation. These included imitation, constitutional amendments, the equalization fee, domestic allotment and export de- benture plans.
 Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach, D., Washington, asserted recent supreme court decisions have put the government out of the business of solving economic problems of the country" and proposed that the whole system of amending the con- stitution be changed so that the process would be much speedier through vote by the people.
 Currency Expansion
 Senator John H. Bankhead, D., Alabama, proposed expansion of the currency as Q possible means of maintaining farm prices. He had three other proposals:
 1. Passage of a bill relieving the processing taxes general rev- enue measure.
 2. Appropriation of funds to be placed at the disposal of the sec- retary of agriculture for farm bene- fits or subsidies.
 3. Declaration of congressional policy that production and distri- button of basic agricultural pro- ducts directly affected interstate and foreign commerce.

 Other Proposals
 Numerous other proposals-from imitation to constitutional amend 1nent-l1ave been advanced in and ont of Congress since the supreme court held the AAA unconstitution- al Monday. None had administra- ton support.

 About 90 farm leaders conferred last night with Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, but said no an- ilolincement would be made until after they had met with adminis- tration ofiicials.
 Farmers here for the meeting showed little enthusiasm for pro- posais advanced by William Green, president of the American Fedora ti0n of Labor, and Dr. F. E. Town send, old-age pension advocate, for C Constitutional amendment. Ad- fninistration leaders likewise were skeptical.

Mechanics of Bill

Washington, Jan. 10-(UP)-The mechanics of the veterans united front bonus bill are perhaps the simplest of any silimar measure ever before congress.
 Here is how. 1t works:
 l. A veteran surrenders his cer- tificates to the administrator of vet- erans affairs for payment immedi- ately.
 3. Payment would be made at full face value less deducations for loans against them. All paid and unpaid interest on loans is cancelled.
 3. If a veteran does not choose to surrender his certificates irn- mediately. he would receive three per cent annually as interest begin- ming April 6. 1897, until January 1, l945.
 4. If the veteran dies after mak- ing application, payment would be made to his beneficiary.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-10
What It Involves

Washington, Jan. 10-UP)-The veterans united front bonus bill in- wolves a $3,5000O0,0o0 financial transaction.
 1. About $500, 100000 is already in the veterans adjusted certificate fund, which is authorized to be used.
 ?. The treasury would issue Q To- year 3 per cent bond issue in ex- change for $500, 0,000,0 900 in certifi- cates held by the United States gov- ernment insurance fund against loans.
 3. About s1,00o,00o,O00 in new cash outlay is required to make iin- mediate payments.
 4. About $500,OO0,000 more would be required to pay of those who do not cash their certificates between April 6, 1887. and January l, l045.
 The bill does not specify how the new cash shall be raised. It is mere- ly an authorization to make irnmedi- ate bonus payment. The method would be determined later.

CHANGES FINALE
I think Nazimova is one Of our
greatest living actresses and ]
should have liked to see Hollywood
cast her as Olan in Pearl Bucks
"The Good Earth"-a part she
played ON the stage In the Theater
Guild production-but her box
office appeal in the movies has
vanished and 60 Luise Rainier will
be the Chinese old faithful Of the
screen version.
Nazimova set the tongues of
old-timers wagging when she re-
moved the uncertainty which sur
rounds the finish Of Ibsen'S play
and, in truth, made UP the mind
Of the playwright for audiences.
Some threw up their hands but
the majority vote for the new deal
In IbSen.
I asked Howard Herrick, the ad-
vance courier Of Nazimova and a
plush press agent always prepared
with the right answer, How about
it?" He supplies this explanation:
1.-THE ending Of Ghosts aS
played by Nine. Nazimova, Is quite
different from the manner in
