Three accused kidnapers were shot to
death in a running gun battle with
Cuban soldiers today. few hours
after Pauline Gorostiza, 28-year-old
son of a well-to-do manufacturer, had

in good health, was brought back to

corted to Havana. It was reported his
family already had paid half of a
$4,000 ransom demanded for his
release.
Eleven suspects were arrested in the

Gorostiza, son of Pauline Gorostiza,
ST., a prominent mirror manufacturer,
was seized early yesterday as he drove
his automobile through the Almen-
dares suburb of Havana.

TRENTON, N. j., January IA
Counsel for Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann arranged to seek a writ OF
habeas corpus in Federal District
Court this afternoon.

for the Bronx carpenter as the at
torneys-increased to five by the addi-
ton of two from Washington, D. c.

Hauptmann's constitutional rights
were violated during the trial al
Pennington. His execution has been
fixed for 8 pm. Friday.
A denial Of the writ and of a stay
OF execution. which must be sought ir
q separate application, would mean
that the only hope for Hauptmann was
a reprieve by Gov. Harold G. Hoffman
Governor Is Silent.
The Governor returned to the
capitol today, his first appearance since
he left soon after the Court of
Pardons rejected Hauptmann's plea
for clemency last Saturday.
In the two intervening days the
Governor has spent much of his time
in New York. He declined to say
whether he had conferrtd with any
one on Hauptmann's case, into which
he projected himself three months age
with nocturnal visit to the prisoner
in his death house cell. He withheld
information as to whether he would
grant reprieve.
Converting of the 1886 Legislature
this noon brought him back.
There was little likelihood the sub.
ject of Hoffman's participation in the
case would come up on the floor Of
either Senate or Assembly. Repub.
licans, who control both houses, coulc
block any move against the Governor
and Democrats felt that any attack.

called farm leaders for aid in form

plan centering about Government
subsidies. Yesterday farmers
threatened "picketing" OF Congress

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Norris. Republican of Ne
braska, bluntly expressed to farm
leaders today a view that no law regu-
lating agricultural production would
be held constitutional In the light Of
the Supreme Courts A. A. A. de-
cision.
His opinion was given at Senate
Agriculture Committee meeting sum-
moned to hear farm views on A. A.
AS replacement. The large commit
tee room, jammed with farmers. be-
came suddenly silent, when Norris
said:
Il don't believe it possible to pass
any law that in any way regulates
agricultural production that would be
held constitutional.
Il hate to say it."
Earl Smith of the Illinois Farm
Bureau Federation was the witness at
the time.
Hits Decision.
Norris expressed "entire agreement"
with the recommendations of the farm
group-made to the administration
Saturday-that soil conservation and
domestic allotments be the basis Of
a new program.
II think the decision was wrong, ab-
solutely wrong" Norris said. II
thought the act was constitutional
and think so yet"
He was applauded loudly.
Norris asked Smith:
"You feel that crop production
must be regulated?"
Smith nodded affirmatively.
But" the Nebraskan went on, "the
court says in so many words tregula-
ton of agriculture is unconstitutional.
You don't have to be lawyer to see
that point.
"The Supreme Court has appellate
jurisdiction, with such exceptions as
Congress may provide.
I'VE could pass law by which we
could take away jurisdiction over this
subject from the lower courts and
providing, say, that Supreme Court
decision on this must be unanimous.
"Then the decision Of q week ago
yesterday would have been just the
opposite"
Gives No Hint of Action.
Norris gave no immediate indica-
ton, however, that he planned to
press for such q statute.
