BY the Associated Press.

Ds lie hSSOClHIeQ treSS.
An inquiry into the effect of w. p. A.
on civil service standards and private
wage rates was asked of Harry L..
Hopkins yesterday by representatives
OF unemployed engineers and profess
sional men in New York City.
They contended the Works Progress
Administration "is undermining civil
service standards and is exercising a
dangerous and depressing influence
upon wage rates paid to technical men
in private employment"
The request was made by the "con-
ference on prevailing wages for tech
nical men,"
Hopkins declined to comment, but
Thad Holt. an assistant w. P. A. ad-
ministrator. said he was looking into
the charge that many cities were using
w. P. A. paid engineers to replace
regular employees.
The demand was made after a series
OF conferences with Holt and with
Bruce Mcclure. director of the w. P. A.
white collar division.
The maximum w. p. A. pay for
technical and professional men is s94
a month"; and the committee asserted
that "the low wage rates offered wher-
ever technical men are fortunate
enough to find private employment
are directly traceable to the outrage
ously low compensation fixed for SINH
Lar service under w. P. A."

From Funds.

BY the Associated Press.
Of1icials of Federal lending agencies
estimated yesterday they would be able
to cut a billion dollars from the
amounts that Congress had given them
permission to spend.
A summary of estimates Of the
amounts officials said they hoped to
be able to slash from their authorize
tions listed the following amounts:
Home Owners Loan Corp, $780,
900 900.
Federal Housing Administration,
100000, 900.
Reconstruction Finance Corp. and
Farm Credit Administration, between
$3.50 900, 900 and 5000 o00,0 900.
All of these amounts were sums
Congress authorized them to use. The
money has not been appropriated,
however.
BY wiping out the authorizations,
officials said the agencies would not
materially curtail their present activi-
ties.

o. L. c. loans was said to be one fac
tor supporting the belief that as much

from the corporations authorization.
The F. H. A. cut would be in the

ministration officials still are seeking
ways to trim their authorizations.
Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the r.

in authorizations for industrial or
railroad loans, but that there were
some other ALLEGATIONS which could be
eliminated without affecting the cor

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j.. March THE
attack on Gov. Harold G. Hoffman's
intervention in the Bruno Richard
Hauptmann case was reopened today
with fresh vigor.
Basil Bruno, Republican Assembly,
man from Monmouth County, charged
the Governor is using the State Mo-
tor Vehicle Department as detec-
tive agency in hiS search for clues
to complete solution" Of the
Lindbergh crime.
And taxpayers" he added, "have
to foot the bill"
Bruno introduced . resolution in
the Assembly Monday night calling
for investigation Of the Motor We
hicle Department. He said today he
has been assured of q votes for the
measure and hopes to get the four
more necessary for adoption.
Car inspectors Become Detectives.
THE Motor Vehicle Department
has been turned into detective
agency" Bruno said "We have q
State Police Department for that pur-
pose. Why isn't the Governor salts
fed with the work they did II
they want detectives in this work
they should use them, and not use
motor vehicle inspectors"
Hauptmann, scheduled to die the
week of March 80 in the electric
chair, was informed today by his
counsel, C. Lloyd Fisher, that the
Governor had no intention of grant,
ing him further reprieve "as mat
ters stand now"
The Governor said Thursday that
II no new evidence was turned up by
March IL there would not be a sec
ond reprieve.
Fisher said Hauptmann received the
news calmly, reiterating his hope
and belief he would escape the chair
March IL Ends 90-Day Period.
The March II date marks the 90
day limit of the Governors reprieve
powers, dated from December 13
when Supreme Court Justice Thomas
w. Trenchard fixed a new execution
date after Hauptmann lost his appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States for a review of the Pennington
trial.
Fisher indicated today the defense
might ask the Court Of Pardons te
consider Hauptmanns case again
basing the clemency plea on recent
developments. including the statement
of Alfred Hammond. railroad cross
ing watchman. that he saw the late
Isidor Frisch, Hauptmann's partner in
the fur business, near the Lindbergt
estate eight or nine times before the
kidnapping.
State authorities said they ques-
toned Hammond several times i'm.
mediately after the kidnapping and al
the time of Hauptmann's arrest
Hammond, they said, failed to identify
pictures of either Hauptmann OF
Frisch.
Defense Accuses State Authorities.
II was surprised when I learned OF
Hammond's recent statement" Fisher
said. 1T was not the duty Of the
State police to convict Hauptmann
but it was their duty to inform the
defense of the evidence. I think the
statement is highly important"
The defense attorney again charged
the State authorities with failing to
institute perjury proceedings against
Millard Whited, Hopewell logger, whose
statement conflicted on whether he
did or did not see Hauptmann near
the Lindbergh estate.
The Governor, while conceding his
reprieve powers expire next Thursday
nevertheless continued his personal
investigation of the case today.
