ldlOtlc answer.
The call promptly was traced
and the caller committed for OBJ
servation.
A barrage of evil lunacy, typi-
fled by the ghoulish telephone
call, internationally followed the
Lindberghs from the time of the
kidnapping until they dramatically
departed for a Christmas at sea
and home abroad. Lunacy and
worse-genuine threats of violence.
ID GENTLY, the barrage has
IN been intensified. Letters and
kilograms flooded the Lindberghs
after Bruno Richard Hauptmann
lost his appeal to the United
States Supreme Court.
Many letters menacinglv de-
manded that Lindbergh save the
life of the man convicted of MUIR
derlng his child, accompanied by
threats of punishment if the de-
mand went unheeded.
The newest, perhaps the most
narrowing barrage of all, this one
seemed to have been organized.
Following the methods of mass
lobbyists, an agency seemed 20
have been at work soliciting
Hauptmann sympathizers to ad-
dress the Lindberghs in the same
general terms.
Col. Lindbergh, objective, wholly
lacking in personal vindictiveness
toward a man he thoroughly be-
lieves to be guilty, resented the
mass pressure.

The Bland Copeland bill proved
so unpopular last year that Sena-
tor Copeland withdrew it after it
barely passed the House. 1t would
create Maritime Authority with
power to subsidize high, wide, and
handsome. Roosevelt never in
dorsed it. Secretary Roper did,
however.
Opposed to that is the bill of
Rep. Moran of Maine, creating a
United States Merchant Marine
Corp. with $500,OOO,00O to buy
and operate ships and charter
ships to private companies under
strict supervision and accounting.
HOUSING subsidies, stressing
i Il the providing of housing and
its social values rather than I'M
employment relief, will become an
increasingly live issue.
Senator Wagner will propose an
$800,00G,000 revolving fund, the
merging of 81 or more Federal
agencies as they relate to housing,
low interest rates, razing and re-
placement of Slums and an effort

owners who are delinquent in
their payments on government
loans. The Home Owners Loan
Corp. recently reported that APP
proximately 20 per Scent of the
total payments due it are 90 or
more days overdue. Repub-
lican strategy in attacking the
Presidents reciprocal trade agree
ment with Canada will take the
form Of move to require Senate
ratification of such transactions.
Among the Democratic con-
gressmen there is considerable
private grousing over the assess
ment of $50 for a ticket to next
weeks Jackson Day dinner. The
boys are complaining that they
can't afford the price. Also that
if word gets back to their con-
stituents that they attended a
$50-a-plate dinner it will do their
reelection chances no good.
A hot confirmation fight is in
prospect against the recent ap-
pointment by the President of
Lamar Hardy as United States
Attorney for the Southern New
York District. Hardy, a hench-
man of Edward j. Flynn, Bronx
political boss, is being opposed by
the Manhattan Tammany leaders,
who view his elevation to the
powerful position as direct slap
at them.

A considerable portion of the advertising in the

No Leg for Argument

pressure of public opinion becomes sufficient SO 1t

But that leaves no leg for the argument that the
i,lrsts are the men with banners. In the long run
law is not made by lawyers by judges but by the
vital necessities of the masses And the courts OF the
land are out of touch and contact with these needs.
