BALTIMORE, Oct. 8.-Officials OF
the Federal Reserve Branch Bank here
said tonight the $4,000 or more pre-
sented for redemption by an unnamed
man was not plowed up by accident,
but belonged to the finder"
Furthermore, they said they didn't
know whether he was a farmer or
whether he lived in Baltimore County.
The cashier of the bank, John r.
Cupit. said he did not see the man or
question him, that the money was
turned over to the bank by the mans
lawyer. Oficials said they had the
impression" the man had sold his
property and had dug up money he
had buried. Finding it water-soaked
and matted together, he turned it over
to the bank to be sent to Washington
for replacement with newer money.
The officials, who said the man had
requested anonymity. said much of the
money was in small bills first made
in 1929.
First reports said the finder had
plowed up the money in one of his
fields.

VIENNA, Oct. 8-Theodore, Cardi-

was praying.
Virtually all palace windows were
shattered by the demonstrators who

ried out numerous pieces of furniture
and burned them in st. Stephens

The Nazi attack came apparently in
retaliation for a demonstration last
night involving Catholic youths who

Injured by Glass Splinter.
The cardinals injury was caused by
splinter of glass as the demonstra-
tors hurled stone after stone through
the private chapel window. With at
tending clergy, Cardinal Innitzer had
retired there to pray during the hostile
demonstration.
Palace attendants bandaged the
wound which did not require hospital
attention.
Police dispersed the Nazis after they
had rioted for nearly an hour, and
fire brigade quenched the blazing fur
niture.
Last nights near riot, which brought
Nazi retaliation today, followed upon
a service for Catholic youth who
packed St. Stephens Cathedral willis
10000 others stood outside.
Cardinal Innitzer exhorted his lis

enough to carry faith only within the
heart"
After the service ended, crowds DEM
onstrated before cafe popular among

TH|RD-TERMB BOOM
HANGS IN BALANCE
Elections Soon May Stamp
Roosevelt Lone Hope to
Continue Policies.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Congressional and gubernatorial
elections a month hence may have a
vital effect on the still incipient boom
for third term for President Roose-
velt.
To the New Deal inner circle, intent
on either the denomination Of the
President or the nomination of cam
didate who will 60 forward with the
Roosevelt policies. the election results
may indicate they can hope for sue
cess only with Mr. Roosevelt as the
standard bearer. This will be partic-
ulsrly true If the Republicans make
substantial gains.
! To anti-New Deal Democrats-the
more conservative group-the election
results may be just as significant.
They already have been encouraged
to believe they can nominate one Of
their group by the outcome of num-
Der OF primary elections in which the
New Dealers were defeated in their
attempts to purge" the party.
The truth of the matter is that the
outlook is not good forany of the 100
per cent New Dealers who would be
acceptable presidential candidates.
that is, acceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt
and his intimate advisers.
Wagner Is Barred.
In New York, for example, none of
the foremost candidates for office is
available material. That goes for
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, Senator
Wagner and Representative Mead, who
is seeking the Senate seat made va
cant by the death of Senator Cope
land. Senator Wagner is barred by
a constitutional lir1itation-he was
born in Germany.
Early this year ardent New Dealers
suggested the advisability of groom
ing either Robert H. jackson, now So
licitor general. or Harry L. Hopkins,
w. p. A. administrator, for the presi-
Dental nomination. The nomination
and election of one of them to be Gov
ernor of New York was regarded as a
necessary first step. The suggestion
was advanced at that time that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would be pleased to
have Mr.. Jackson as his successor in
Office.
Neither Mr.. Jackson nor Mr.. sHop-
kins caught on" and the plans-if
they ever got far enough to be thus
termed-were quietly abandoned.
Another New Deal "hope"-Gov.
George Earle of Pennsylvania-has
apparently fallen by the @ayside. 1t
is true that he is candidate for
the Senate, but even if he be elected,
he is not expected to be formidable
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton in 1910. Intraparty dissension
in Pennsylvania, plus charges of scam
dal, corruption and favoritism Of con-
tractors, have dimmed Gov Earle's
chances.
Secretary Wallace, who halls from

culture Department has been the head
and forefront of the Administrations S

New Dealer. However, his chances

TEMPERSF FLARE
At RAIL HEARING
Workers. Witnesses and
Counsel for Carriers Engage
in Three-H0ur Debate.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Ttmpers fared at the rail wage
hearing yesterday in a dispute over
the cost of living and pay data offered
by opposing sides.
David Kaplan, statistical witness for
the Railroad Workers Brotherhoods,
and ]. Carter Fort, railroad counsel,
engaged in three-hour debate over
differences in statistics offered by labor
and management.
Charges Are Presented.
Railroads had presented sheaf Of
charts to show that railroad pay was
at a peak, that living costs had gone
down, and that rail revenue had
dropped as wages went up.
The data was offered in support of
a proposal for Is per cent wage
reduction-against which 100000
workers have voted to strike.
Mr. Kaplan accused railroads of try
ing to compare apples and pears, "
and offered his own exhibits to show
the cost of living did not warrant a
pay reduction.
When the labor witness answered
questions with long explanations, Mr..
Fort protested:
Il don't want this to develop into a
filibuster on my time"
Hay Charges Insult.
At another point, Mr. Kaplan offered
to read newspaper interview quoting
Ernest T. Weir, steel executive, on the
relation of wages to cost of living. A
railroad attorney questioned its au-
thenticity, and Charles M. Hay OF
counsel for the brotherhoods shouted
That's insulting!'
Then, after thinking it over, Mr.
Hay added:
Il promised not to get mad, but this
fellow gets on my nerves"
Bert M. Jewell, president Sof the
Railway Employees Department of the
American Federation of Labor, teSti-
fed that present wages were at about
the same level as in 1920 when they
were fixed by Government board"
James M. Lands, member of the
fact-finding board which is investi-
eating the justice of the wage redyc-
ton proposal, asked railroads to pro-
vide estimates on just how much each
railroad expected to save by the re-
duction. Rail spokesmen had testified
the entire industry would save $780,
000,0 annually.
