JAFSIE HOME AGAIN.;
HAS mo COMMENT
Condor Returns to u. S.
From Panama.
By United Press

By UntteG Press
NEW YORK, March 17.-Closely
guarded by relatives and friends, DR..
John F. Condor returned to New
York today from a two months stay
in Panama and from behind his
stateroom door issued a statement
saying he would have nothing to
say on the Lindbergh case.
The Bronx educator, who attained
renown as "Jafsie," was accom-
panied from Panama on the steamer
Santa Inez by his daughter, Mrs.
Myra Hacker.
The statement concluded with:
81 have no comment whatever to
make about the case"
The lease" was not identified by
Condor, but it was assumed he
was referring to the Lindbergh
matter as newspaper men previous
ly had sent into his stateroom the
Jan. 26 statement of Gov. Harold
G. Hoffman of New Jersey in which
the latter propounded some doubts
about Jaffsies story told at the
trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann.
When the Santa Inez docked,
DR.. Condor emerged from his state
room, smiling. He agreed to pose
for photographers, but to all ques-
lions, whether they related to the
Lindbergh case or not, he answered
with:

for Measures.

City Councilmen slammed the
door in the face of organized labor
today by refusing to give police and
firemen a 10 per cent wage in
crease, by killing the effect of a
barber shop inspection ordinance
and by voting down a measure
seeking to give workers the right to
picket peaceably.
+ Members alternately begged,
argued and shook their fists at each
other in last nights stormy session.
but failed to reach an agreement
For Councilman Adolph j. Fritz,
Indiana Federation of Labor Secre-
tary, these defeats came with stun
ming swiftness. At the close of the
meeting, however, he announced
that "labor's fight wasn't over
and said he would continue to in
troduce bills until the present anti
picketing ordinance was killed.
Cable and Dowd With Fritz
This measure was lost by 6-to-3
vote. DR.. Theodore Gable and Mrs
Nannette Dowd voted with Mr.
Fritz.
IF any one can show me one
thing in this bill which is not al
ready contained in the state law, ]
will withdraw it," Mr.. Fritz de-
clareo. Nov workers constantly
are having to pay court costs from
suits coming up under the present
vicious ordinance. We need relief.
