"Dealers were actively engaged ! in reducing stocks of old models, and used cars sales gained to '1 point well above the normal December figure.

Miss Mary Suttles and Mr. Dick Archbold motored to Indianapolis this morning to visit during the day. A joint InstaP'ition cf officers of! the Friendsh n Rebekah lodge 1 and I. O. O F. lodge 29. of Battle Creek. Michigan, was held recently. New tficers were installed at thas meeting and Mrs. Anna Laman. wsll known locally, the district deputy president, conducted tbe installation services. o— ; REPUBLICANS _____ CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE pending in the house. Both were ordered held in committee pending further details of President Roosevelt's security program. The Republicans attempted to force immediate action on the measures. Another Republican bill which may gain support of Democratic insurgents is a measure which would reduce the state gas tax from four to three cents. Administration Democrats will fight to re- ; tain the present rate, having seen already that the highway commission's funds are in danger because of the withdrawal of much federal aid. NINE VIOLENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ! at a street intersection. One man was killed and three others were injured critically in an explosion at the Serve! refrigerator plant in Evansville. The victim was Harvey Egbert. Roy Rathburn, 57, Porter county Republican leader, was dragged to 1 death by a horse he attempted to catch with a rope on his farm near ; Hebron. Injuries suffered by Thomas -Marsh, 77, Linton, in a coal mine accident caused his death. Mrs. Dora Kaiser, 50, South Bend, was killed when she walked into the path of a Grand Trunk west-, ern freight train near her home. PROSECUTION CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE mitted under cross-examination that he had seen Hauptmann with Isidor Fisch, dead German furrier, "five or six times." Fisch, however, never had an | account with his firm while Hauptmann did. and Fisch never 1 gave him any money. Mulligan | testified. I Hauptmann said after his arrest ' | that he received some $14,000 in i ■ ransom money fonnd in hie pos- ■ session from Fisch and the de-; sense will attempt to show that! • Fisch, not Hauptmann, was the > kidnaper. Hermann Rledrich. teller at the 1 Central Savings bank, New York • City, testified Mrs. Hauptmann - had an account of several thou-

sand do'lars in 1929. three years I before the kidnaping. He sa;d > this under cross-examination. In 1 direct examination he said Hauptniann’s account showed indications ' of sudden affluence soon aft-r the ransom was paid in Apr.l ' ' 1932 ' . . I Hauptmann, he testified, often 'made deposits with quantities of (] ■ silver —once SICO in nickels, dimes ! and quarters. The state charged thus by inference that Hauptmann , then was passing Lindbergh ran- ; som bills by purchasing small, j items, such as cigarettes, receiving silver in change. Attorney General David T. Wil entz and hie start will do little , work over the week-end. feelinv , that they could rest the state’s , case at any time and obtain a , murder conviction. The last of ■ ! the state's witnesses will number ~ I some 40. Many friends of the < 1 Hauptmanns will tell of his as-, fluence immediately after the ransom was paid. Some technical I witnesses remain who will, it was j I said, offer proof that Hauntmanr.! ’ made the ladder the kidnapi»r j used to steal the baby. FEAR SPREADS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE council meeting. Eden appealed to Germany to •' keep its promises to protect those who voted forth? Saar to remain - under League rule, and expressed concern at reports that Jews and communists were persecuted. "We are entitled to expect thet the German government's promises will be kept,” he said. Here the situ tion seemfd to be getting acut?. Toe expected mass emigrantion has not started. But anti-Nazis alleged that the League of Nations governing commission wi s not performing its duties and that it exercised no authority at all in the Saa-. INSURANCE MEN CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE their references to the annuities made available tor public purchase. Lewis, a member of the house ways and means committee whica begins hearings on his bill next, Monday, said he would attempt i to strengthen the insurance pro-, visions. He believes, he said, the ! government should gradually take over functions of the insurance companies and that life insurance should be removed from private enterprise with Its profit motive. The general plan now is for annuities which would return SIOO i a month after the policy holder ! reaches the age of 65. How much ' they would eo« or tbe terms on which they could be purchased have not been determined. It was understood, however, that new data on the normal expectancy of life would be used in fixing the: rates. These annuities, according to I the present program, would be sold to persons who would not be eligible for the old-age insurance to be worked out by states under federal supervision.
