and introduced 1t into our routine
upon our return.
The Latin origin Of the rhumba
Is evident in the very short steps,
the slight hip movement and the
staccato but rhythmic gestures
direct contrast to the smoothness OF
our American dances.
You can build your rhumba on
the simple box step. To take posi-
ton, the dancers face each other,
about a foot apart. Keep this dis
lance, as never during this dance
should the partners be in close con-
tact. The mans left hand faces up

the ceiling, palm fiat against the

TRENTON, N. J., March g.
(UP)-A strange web Of politics,
in keeping with the bizarre ira
dition of the Lindbergh kidnap-
murder case has now enmeshed
the fate of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann in political maneuvering in
the state assembly.
One bill, seeking to divert state
highway funds and another to
prevent the interim custer Of Col
onel H. Norman Schwartzkopf,
heas Of the state police, have been
offered.
Political experts professed to
see an alliance between Republi-
can Governor Hoffman and DEM
ocratic boss, Frank Hague, mayor
of Jersey City.
The governor. it was said,
agreed to continue his efforts
against the highway bill in return
for aid in denying an extension
Of Schwartzkopff's term.
Attorney General David Wi
lentz is understood to be disap-
pointed by the sidetracking of the
bill.
He based his prosecution of
Hauptmann upon evidence which
was unearthed by Schwartzkopff's

TSTRIKEIN
N. Y. IS BLOODY
First Overtures For Peace
From Mayor Rejected
By Workers
By UNITED PRESS

Striking elevator operators
slowly paralyzing New York City's
business and social life-rejected
Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia's arbi-
tration proposals last night.
With a state of emergency de-
clared by LaGuardia, the strike
leaders stalked out of city hall,
preparing to call out thousands
more of the men and women who
operate elevators and fire FUR
naces in the towers of Manhattan.
LaGuardia persuaded them to
agree to return at 10 Il. m., to-
morrow, but meanwhile the may
or expressed grave fear Tor tne
health and safety of 7,OOO,OoO
New Workers..
Blood was spilled as the Build
ing Service Employees union wld'
ened the strike area until it COW
cred most of Manhattan island.
No deaths were reported from the
centers of violence, but noses
were bloodied and heads cracked
in several areas. Twenty-three
men were arrested, charged with
disorderly conduct.
New Workers, as whole, seem
ed to be taking the situation with
good humor, although pitiful calls
telling of i'll persons marooned
high in towers-went in to the
health department: =,
1t was these calls that prompt,
ed LaGuardia to summon James
]. Bambrick, head of the local
union; George Scalise, president
of the International union; and
Edward C. MaGuire, union coun-
sci, to city hall. With them went
William D. Rawlins, executive
secretary of the Realty Advisory
board, to speak for the organi-
cation whose responsibility it is to
keep elevators running and fur
naces burning. :,
No accurate estimate was avail
able on the number of buildings
left without service: Bambrlck
contended $3.50 buildings had
been left without service after
II 900 men had walked out. TAX:
ing his own figures, that would
mean that the strike is about 30
per cent effective, because he had
planned to call out 100000 work
ers. -.
The bureau of operations at
police headquarters disputed
Bambrick's figures, claiming only
500 buildings were crippled.
Wherever the truth lies, the
pinch of the strike unquestionably
was being felt in the soaring tow
ers on the tip of Manhattan is
land-Wall Street, the nerve CEN
ter of the nations financial life.
Thousands of employees in that
section rode down elevators at
lunch time today and came back
to find themselves facing climbs
of so to 60 flights of stairs.
