Trenton. n. J.. Feb. "a (AP)-GOv-
ornor Harold C. Hoffman today ac-
cuspd Milford Whited, Sourland noun
tain lumberjack, and one OF the
states chief witnesses against Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, of lying, a
charge which might be the basis of
neriury action against him.
The governor, who questioned Whit
cd at length Saturday, said the print
cd and written record shows that he
was lying.
Whited was one of the two witness
es who placed Hauptmann near the
Ijndbergh estate at HOpewell about
the time of the kidnapping March 1,
1882
The Sourland logger was the only
witness New Jersey called at Haupt-
manns extradition hearing in New
York to place Hauptmann near the
scene of the crime. Whited swore he
saw Hauptmann proving about the
Lindbergh grounds on two occasions
late in February, 1882.
He repeated this testimony at the
Pennington trial.
Prosecution officials, the governor
said, seemed to be making "a studied
effort" to suppress important infor-
nation in the Hauptmann CASE
Prosecutor Anthony NJ. Hauck, Jr.,
of Hunterdon county, replied at once
to this criticism by accusing the gov
ernor himself of Withholding some of
the facts Whited's testimony, he said,

BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

New York, Feb 24.-The United
States Treasury is expected to make
a $1,000 100000 offering on March 16
an offering which will be satisfactory
to financial New York. It will be
grabbed up. In spite of all the shout
ing from financial interests, the gov
ernment's securities still rank first
There is a reason-the federal govern
ment's taxing powers are enormous,
and it has taxed merely one-third as
much as England, for example.
Not that financial New York de-
sires any more taxes! No, but the
power to tax the income of 127,000,00C
persons is an asset with which no
private bond, even of the staunchest
corporation, can compete.
Then, again, there are funds that
can find haven only in such legal"
securities as government"
There is disagreement in finan-
cial circles as to what kind of securi-
ties will be to their liking. Bitter anti

Inside Story of Trip.

NEW YORK, October 16.-The in
side story of the round-the-world trip
by three New York reporters may now
be told.
When the dirigible Hindenburg be-
gan to make the first of its 10 sched-
uled trips to the United States sew
eral months ago. Leo Kieran, New
York Times reporter who has special
lied in aviation, proposed that he be
assigned at the earliest opportunity to
make a journey around the world,
mostly by air, on regularly scheduled
forms of transportation, to determine
how quickly an ordinary traveller in a
hurry could circle the globe.
Preparations for this trip were be-
gun about seven months ago, but the
starting date depended upon when
Pan-American Airways would carry
passengers across the Pacific on its
newly established lines. The North
American Newspaper Alliance re-
ceived definite assurances several
times from Pan-American Airways
that Mr.. Kieran would be flown on
the first plane leaving Manila for
San Francisco on which the Pan
American could carry passengers. A
suggestion that he be signed on earlier
as a member of the crew was rejected
by Pan-American. The airline had
declined previously to fly him on the
Hawaii Clipper, scheduled to leave
Manila on October 9.
Schedule Worked Out.
With this assurance. schedule was
