tee and will be used for research work. The best cure now known is the cne used by President Roosevelt in his successful fight against the malady. It is a long, difficult and expensive proposition. In the worst phases of the disease it is necessary to hire one nurse who will devote her whole time to the patient. In addition to a great amount of personal courage the President had the money to finance the fight for years. He established headquarters in Warm Springs, Georgia, There he used the therapeutic powers of the mineral waters in combination with lifting power of the water. The theory of the cure is that it takes ■ one fifteenth the effort to lift a portion of the body in water than it does in the open air. The muscles and tissues which h ve bee.me shrivelled iby the diseases can be developed only by tedious effort in a body of water. For months and sometimes years it is (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE)

Jan. 28. —(U.R) —Geni eral willingness of states to cooperate in the federal old-age pension plan, but some doubt as to procurement of necessary funds, was shown today in preliminary returns from a survey. . A feeling that states would find it difficult to handle their unemployment situations while at the I same time arranging pension payments was reflected in responses ' received to a questionnaire sent all governors by Sen. Edward P. Cos- ; tigan, D.. Colo. The answers indicated states whose legislatures were in session would be watching Washington during the next several weeks, ready to take their cue from progress of the social security legislation through congress. Twenty-eight states have oldage pension laws which can be fitted into the federal plan with slight alterations. The trend toward mandatory old-age pension legislation has increased and may be crystal-! lized in the federal drive for uniform care of aged. Responses to the poll included: Gov. Leslie A.

Jan. 2S. — (U.R) —I President Roosevelt's $4,880,000,000 recovery and relief program lay before hostile senators today in the first real test of strength this session between White House and congress. Senator Carter Glass, D„ Va„ a bold critic of new deal spending and finance, presides over the appropriations committee to which the program lias been referred for examination. Republicans believe they can breach administration defenses in (he committees. If they fail the. | fight goes to free-for-all on tiie senate iloor. Developing in and out of congress is labor's protest against a | p an to limit wages on emergency construction projects to $59 a month. On that and other disput-1 ed issues Mr. Roosevelt wants unlimited authority. > Administration leaders ultimately may make concessions on payment of the war veterans’ bonus and on social security legislation to obtain the recovery bill in the i form desired by Mr. Roosevelt.

DEFENDANT ON WITNESS STAND FOR SECOND DAY Attorney General Draws Damaging Admissions From Hauptmann DECEIV ED WIFE IN MANY TRANSACTIONS Flemington, N. J., Jan. 28. — (U.R) — Bruno Richard Hauptmann, badgered and heckled until his strong nerves almost failed him again, shouted “you lie,” at attorney general David T. Wilentz during his cross examination today. Wilentz had just wrung an admission from the defendant that he had lied when he told district attorney Samuel Foley, of the Bronx, about the board in his closet containing, the telephone number and street address of Dr. John F. Condon, the go-between in the Lindbergh ransom negotiations. “And you lied to me, Mister,” Hauptmann shouted back, as loudly as his high pitched voice would carry. “We’ll let the jury determine about that,” said Wilentz. "But I ask you whether I have ever talked to you outside of this court room. Have I ever been to your cell? Have I ever promised you anything? Have I ever seen you alone? “No,” said Hauptmann, leaning hack in his chair again. For a moment it looked as though the two men were close to physical violence. Hauptmann’s long, powerful arm was thrust straight ahead of him at the prosecutor, who was only three feet away when they clashed. One finger was pointed, like a pistol, directly at the attorney general's forehead. Flemington. N. .1., Jan. 28.
