 Trenton, N. J., Feb, i8,-(UP)- Bruno Richard Hauptmann and his wife appeared today to have dee veloped sharp differences over desir- ability of Samuel LeibowitZ as de- fense counsel In Hauptmann's last- minute efforts to escape the chair.
 Hauptmann Is understood to want to sec the prominent criminal law yer again, confident that he can convince Leibowitz of his innocence.

Washington, Feb. l8- cUP) - OConnor asserted that the Cough lin organization made about $2o0, 900 profit annually which went to the Shrine of the Little Flower at Roy al Oaks, Mich.
 "The fact that man slandered me is not the only time he has attacked people," O'Connor said in reference to the priests charge he blocked the Frazier -Lemke farm mortgage bill. He asserted that Father Coughlin is mot a true priest"
 "The Frazier-Lemke bill was in- troduced by two members of the farmer labor party" OConnor said in disputing contentious by Rep. William Lemke, R., N. D.. co-author of the bill, that 1t was not infiation- ary.
 Some of those signers on the pe- tition have been deceived if 1t is not infiationary."
 He claimed there are $2i .000, 900, . GOO in mortgages in urban areas that would be thrown open for in- fiation purposes if the Frazier Lemke bill were enacted. He said no member of the majority of the house agriculture committee even asked his committee for a rule on the bill.
 "When Father Coughlin gives out that information on who comes of the petition. he is violating the house rules" O'Connor said. And some member must have given that information to him."
 He said that Lemke himself de- nied Cougnlin's statement that President Roosevelt was attempting to stop the Frazier-Lemke bill and charged that insurance companies want the Frazier-Lemke bill be- cause they hold the farm mortgages and would be "hailed out" at the governments expense.
 He charged that Father Coughlin maintained two paid lobbyists in Washington, "a man named Ward and man named Collins" but add ed that sponsors of the bill agree" that Coughlin has hurt the bill.
 Amid laughter. he read the priests comment that President Roosevelt selected him as chairman of the rules committee.
 T belonged to the rules commit tee before I ever met Mir. Roose- welt" he said. asserting thst every body knows the president cannot appoint house committee members.
 OConnor said that the reason

The Rev, John Matthiesen, Lutheran fninis- ter and Hauptmann's spiritual coun- seilor for six months, was present at Leibowltz's three hour confer ence with his client Sunday and today cleared up mysterious cir- cumstances which had inspired re- ports that Hauptmann changed his story, at feast in some detail.
 Not One Iota Changed
 After Leibowitz left the death- house Sunday, he went to the home of Governor Harold c. Hoffmann, who gave Hauptmann the 30 day reprieve that expired Saturday, and conferred with him at length. MT. Leibowitz has not succeeded in changing Hauptmann's story one single bit" Matthiesen said. And don't think 1t will be changed" Then, despite the verdict of the Bennington jury, you are certain
