ON THE HOT SEAT

It begins to look as if Coy. Harold G. Hoffman of Jersey is almost hot seat as that one from which he granted Bruno Hauptmann, the kidnaper a 30-day reprieve The general belief was that when the Jersey Governor gave Hauptmann another month of life he had something to offer toward further analysis of the case. Outside of speculation furry which followed his act nothing has been presented other than several threats of impeachment against the Governor for temporarily sparing the kdnapers life
 Dr. John F Condon, the famed "Jafse" who is gaining further publicity through his magazine stories has failed to come back from trip to the Canal Zone. Apparently desperate Gov Hoffman has now turned lie detectors There probably isn't anything wrong with lie detectors As a matter of record, they have proven helpful to a degree in the soltion of crime. But what the world wants to know from Gov Hoff- man is who's lying? It feels satisfied, just jury did, that Hauptmann already has done his. Are there others? The Governor hasn't much time left in the 30-day reprieve to trot them out

NEW YORK, July 4.-Although tin
prices moved in an erratic fashion
the past week, there was an under
current OF steadiness and at the end
a slight net gain was shown.
Constructive statistics on domestic
deliveries and world stocks for June,
along with the maintenance of tin
plate operations at full capacity, were
the sustaining influences.
Against this combination, however,
was the continued unsettlement at
London and the fact that BUYERS
confidence generally continued some-
what shaken as result of the slump
that followed the raising of export
quotas by the International Commit
tee at the end of June. World stocks
In June decreased nearly 1000 tons
TO 1880 tons, while domestic deliv-
cries Of 7,795 tons last month were
the best reported since August, 1888.
Lead buying was quite brisk in the
forepart Of the week, but later quiet
ness prevailed. Zinc was steady to
firm in tone.
Hardening of prices in the export
market featured an otherwise quiet
situation in copper. Sales for export
were reported up to s.22b cents,
while the domestic price held un-
changed at 912 cents valley.
