BRUNO CASE IS LEADING ISSUE IN NEW JERSEY — Hauptmann Case A Political Issue; Hoover To Influence Trenton, N. J., May 15.—<U.R)— The strangest presidential primary contest in the country takes place in this state next weex. The electors are luvited, in effect, to vote yes or no on this question: "Bruno Richard Hauptmann was guilty of kidnaping the Lindbergh baby and we are glad he is dead.” Gov. Harold G. Hoffman sits in his office contemplating the wreckage of what was once a better than ordinary chance to be vice president of the United States. He will vote “no.” Franklin W. Fort, one-time prohibition leader and associate of former President Herbert Hoover is speaking against Hoffman and in defense of Jersey justice. Fort will vote “yes.” When Hoffman votes "no" he may or- may not endorse Haupt mann's innocence. But he reprieved the late kidnaper No. 1 and he is not glad he is dead. On the issue of the reprieve Hoffman and Fort are before the JeJreey electorate this week in the windup of a presidential primary campaign in which the interests of Sen. William E. Borah and Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas are only the backdrop. . Borah and I-andon are the Republican candidates for Republican presidential nomination, both entered in the New Jersey poll. Between Hoffman and Fort the Lindbergh case and the delayed execution of Hauptmann is a political issue. The political aspects of the Lindbergh case are complex and confusing. In a general way it might be said that Hauptmann was captured and convicted by Democrats with New Jersey Attorney General David T. Wilentz as (CONTINUED ON PAGE SEVEN) POPPY POSTER WINNERS NAMED Robert Franz, Ethel Miller And Irene Braun Win Contest Winners in the Poppy Day poster contest, .sponsored annually by the American Legion Auxiliary, were announced last evening at the completion of the judging by Mrs. John T.

| Fear Other Nations Os South America May Follow Lead; Austrian Fascists Disarmed. GREAT CONCERN (Copyright 1936 by UP.) Geneva. May 15. — (U.R) — Guatemala today resigned from the League of Nations, leading to fears that its withdrawal may be followed by a parade of other Latin American countries out of the Geneva organization. The Guatemalan resignation emphasized great concern already felt regarding the position of Chile, Mexico, Colombia and several other Latin American countries believed almost on the point of quitting the league. Brazil, Costa Rica and Paraguay already have resigned. Ecuador has refused to enforce sanctions against Italy and Chile has demanded the lifting of sanctions. Chile and Ecuador, whose resignations are expected in many quarters, are members of the league council. Secretariat records show that Guatemala owes the league $9,240 for arrears in membership dues. Guatemala's fees for membership total approximately $1,980 a year. Hence, she will be legally bound to pay about $13,200 before her resignation can become effective in 1938. The secretariat informally telegraphed the Guatemalan government asking for reasons for the resignation. Disarm Fascists Vienna, May 15. —.(U.R) —Chancellor Kurt Schusschnigg, whose bloodless coup d'etat ousted Prince Ernst Von Starhemberg, fascist leader, from co-control of the Austrian government, today began disarming the heimwehr to avert civil war.

Schuscnnigg's cabinet, in a surprise move, dissolved Vienna's "protective corps.” The corps, an auxiliary police force of 600 picked men, consisted mainly of heimwehr troopers. Originally its dissolution has been planned for May 31 but Schuschnigg moved drastically as part of his program to prevent heimwehr reprisals in retaliation for the ousting of Starhemberg.
