ent From Physicians.
BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 25.-Lieut.
Robert w. Hicks, Washington crimi-
nologist, announced today he would
use a report OF Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh's family physician to challenge
identification Of the body believed to
have been that of the kidnapped Lind
bergh baby.
Hicks, hired by magazine skeptical
that Bruno Richard Hauptmann killed
the Lndbergh child, quoted from q
report given May 4, 1882, by DR.. Phillip
Van lngen, eight days before the find
ing of the body. 1t lecourted details
Of a physical examination Of the baby
the physician said ne made on Feb
ruary 1S, 1882.
The two things I specially noted
when l examined him were that his
skin was unusually dry all over the
body and the fact that both little
toes were slightly turned in and over
Tapped the next toe. This is unusual
in child of his age" the report said.
County Physician Quoted.
Hicks said this differed from the
description given at Hauptmann's trial
by the Mercer County physician, DR..
Charles H. Mitchell:
THE first toe of the right foot
completely overlaps the large toe, and
the second toe of the right foot par
TALLY overlaps the large toe."

REPUBLICAN STAMPS

Plans Of the National Republican
Council to put its anti+New Deal
stamps inside mailed envelopes in
stead Of outside were called "all right"
yesterday by Post Once Department
attorneys.
Walter Kelly, assistant solicitor
Of the department, said nothing in
postal regulations would bar stamps
which ridicule President and Mrs.
Roosevelt from being carried IN the
mails.
Karl A Crowley, solicitor, ruled last
week that envelopes decorated with
the cartoon stamps should be barred
from the mails, on the ground they
attacked the character OF the Roose"

ter on envelopes or wrappers. Kelly

.TAX0N PROCESSING
FUNDS RUMORED
y. S. May Try to Collect
Income Levies, Chicago
Aide Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 25.-Signs that
the Federal Government may try to
collect income taxes on processing
levies paid before the A. A. A. was
declared unconstitutional threatened
a new fight today between professors
and the New Deal.
That the Government contemplated
such action was confirmed by o. W.
Osler, assistant in charge Of the in
come tax unit Of the Internal Revenue
Office in Chicago.
There has been no ruling on it
yet," he said, but one was expected
ANY time"
But A. E. Weaver, vice president
and general manager Of the B. A.
Eckhart Milling Co., said Federal in
come tax auditors had added the pro-
cessing tax payments to taxable in
come in their customary check on
tax accounts.
They had completed work on his
firms books for the year beginning
July l, 1888, and ending June, 1884,
he said, and had included that item.
Weaver said the income tax was
not being placed on processing taxes
held in escrow by the courts, but on
q much larger amount that had been
paid directly to the Government over
. two-year period.
Told Of Osler's statement that the
internal revenue men awaited q ruling
from Washington before acting,
Weaver said, I'VE know that the
processing tax item has been added to
our taxable income, and we know
we're going to be asked to approve its
inclusion.
But we're not going to take this
lying down. The millers will fight it.
Return Of Money Involved.
They're not doing this just to us.
They'll do it to all the professors.
Their argument Is that II the tax
We paid to help finance the farm
program was illegal, then 1t should be
listed on our books as income instead
Of on the other side Of the ledger.
'That would be fair enough II we
got the money back. But how are
we going to get 1t back? We paid 1t
to the Government before any one
challenged the constitutionality Of the
A. A. A. The Supreme Court decision
on taxes held In escrow by the courts
does not cover the situation. Con-
gress has said 1t won't appropriate
any money to pay US back, and we
can't sue the Government"
Weaver said the money involved
was five or six times the amount freed
from court escrow.

TRENTON, N. j., January 25.-
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman invited
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's prose-
cutors and defense counsel today to
agree on a lie detector test.
Such a test Of the condemned kid
nap slayer Of the Lindbergh baby, the
Governor said, might bring answers to
some Of the puzzling phases OF the
case.
Since last October, when he visited
Hauptmann secretly in the death
house, Gov. Hoffman has often said
that doubts exist in the minds Of
many persons" on Hauptmann's
guilt.
The legality Of such a test and its
effect on Hauptmann's conviction.

certain. Authorities indicated that
legislation was needed to make the
results binding on the State and de-
fense.
Might Ask Legal Changes.
The Governor, however. was not i'm
mediately concerned with the legal
aspects. He indicated that if the
State and the defense agree to test.
he might ask the Legislature to make
the necessary changes in New Jerseys
crime laws.
Col Mark O. Kimberling. State
prison warden, pointed out the test
might be classified as mental exam1-
nation, for which the law provides.
c. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense coun-
sell said he would not consent to the
test unless 1t was conducted by the

Bonus
(continued From First Page.)

tions and vehement debate which nav
marked the years OF congresslona
conflict over the issue.
The bill oficially was before tne
Senate today, but could not be con-
sidered until Monday because OF q
week end recess. Yesterday the house
members, anxious to settle the issue
shouted down efforts to postpone tint
decision, and voted without q word o.
debate.

procedure in their chamber. They salo
they expected little discussion.
Leaders May Break Away.

there was no doubt Of the outcome
They said they did not know OF

cratic leader and Chairman Harrison
Of the Finance Committee were ex-

vide for the issuance of $50 baby
bonds to holders Of the adjustment
service certificates, which they could
cash ut post Offices after June Is. or

A veteran with a certificate for an
odd amount, such as $3.50 would get
$500 in bonds and the balance in
