1t was the opinion Of Treasury

Congress to release the list since the
1884 revenue act merely provided that
corporations report all salaries over
$4,000 to Congress. and made no spe-
cific provision for making the report
public.
The leaders decided yesterday that
a report to Congress is public docu-

House Doorkeeper Sinnott went to
the marshal of the court and asked
if the court wanted to attend in a
body. He also said he would find
seats for any justices who wanted
to attend unofficially. Apparently the
court wanted nothing, because no ap-
plications were received.
The court frequently attends the
opening of Congress and the delivery
of presidential messages. 1t is not a
rigid custom, but sufficiently estab-
lished one to cause comment when it
Is not followed
Expected Reversal.
Uppermost New Dealers expected
to be reversed on A. A. A., but not as
reversed as they were. What they
anticipated was invalidation of the
processing tax, leaving the way open
for an easy substitute. They were
floored when the court cut out legal
ground on which the whole New Deal
was built. A couple of farm authori-
ties were with the President 20
minutes before the decision was an
nounced. He had no tip on the
decision then. He still thought the
way would be left open.
That was also what was in his
mind when he transferred the A. A. A.
to the permanent budget in his budget
message. The idea was to make it
| more constitutional.
Apparently Not Interested.
Current mention of Justice Roberts
name as a Republican presidential
candidate is not exactly new. Months
ago couple of Republican authorities
put out indirect feelers toward Rob-
erts, Chief Justice Hughes, and even
Justice Stone (who has since aligned
himself with the so-called New Deal
school of legal though). In each
instance feelers shriveled. The three
apparently were not interested.
Most Republican technicians are
personally convinced that Supreme
Court justices do not make good cam
paigners. They remember 1916.
Justice Roberts has more judicial
personality than any one seen in a
toga around here in a long time.
He does not read his decisions, as
the other justices do, but speaks
them. This permits him to make
his points with more emphasis. His
voice is stronger, and his delivery
convincing. He speaks as if he deeply
believes what he says. However, If
you compare his spoken words with
the later-written opinion, you will
find he has followed text exactly He
learns his decisions by heart at home
ahead of time.
Situation Well in Hand.
Postmaster General Farley has the
postmaster situation well in hand for
the campaign. Proof of his quiet ac-
tivities during the congressional recess
may be found behind the hundreds
of postmaster nominations sent to
the Senate for confirmation the other
day. The appointments were nearly
all for new men, meaning, of course,

TRENTON, N. j., January 8-Gov.
Harold G. Hoffman, it was disclosed
today. is studying the transcript Of
the trial of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann, sentenced to die next week for
the Lindbergh baby kidnap-murder.
The Governor is member of the
New Jersey Court Of PardonS which
will convene Saturday to consider
Hauptmann's plea for clemency.
His execution was reported TO have
been set for Friday. January II. at
8 pm.
Secrecy surrounded the Governor S
visit to State police headquarters last
Saturday, but it was authoritatively
learned he obtained copies of the
Hauptmann trial record and that of
John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk boat
builder, convicted of obStructing justice
during his alleged contacts with the
Lindbergh kidnapers.
Gov. Hoffman as presiding member
Of the Pardons Court has not yet an
nounced where it is to meet. Should
he designate the State Prison, 1t would
be considered an indication that
Hauptmann would be summoned for
an appearance before the court.
Hauptmann received news of the
execution date from Col. Mark o.
Kimberling, State Prison warden,
without visible emotion.
The condemned mans spiritual ad-
wiser, Rev. John Matthiesen of Tren-
ton, reasserted belief in his innocence
and reported him hopeful and cheer

visit to Hauptmann, said:

Four Years of Roosevelt
Budgets Bring Deficit of
-~, s12,0O0,0 900, 900.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Twelve billion dollars in the red
and possibly more-is the total OF
President Roosevelts four years OF
Federal budgets.
The amount he will have Spent IN
four years will run up to about
$4,000, 100000, which is a record for
any President ir peace time and
closely approximates the total war
time expenditure. From 1889 to 1918
the total Federal expense was only
s24, 100000, and this included four
wars.
Naturally. the defenders of MIR.
Roosevelt will insist his deficits were
necessary because the Nation was
saved from disaster. The other side
will argue that, Notwithstanding Sl2,-
600 OOO,O of deficits in four years
the unemployment rolls are still around
100000 persons, and no permanent
plan has been devised to take care OF
the people still on work relief.
Message Not Clear.
Mr.. Roosevelt. in his message, does
not clearly show what Is going to be
spent in the next fiscal year. He
eliminates the biggest item of all
namely relief, and says that, without
relief, he expects deficit of about
S1,098,000,O00. The President insist!
the deficits have been coming down
Here is the way they look by flsca

1t will be noted, however, that all
three deficits thus far are above
$4,000, 100000 and that the fourth
deficit does not take into account
eitffer work relief or the bonus, on
which there may be total of $3,00O.-
100000 spent. But even assuming
that only $1,000, 100000 is spent for
work relief and only $1,000, 100000 for
