COL. LINDBERGH GOES BEFORE JURY PROBERS Hauptmann in Tight Spot as Father of Slain Boy Gives Evidence. (Continued From P|f One) the criminal was caught, came from the Morrow and Lindbergh fortunes Ironically it was in a closet of Hauptmann's 10-month-old baby's nursery that the evidence was found that connected it with the nursery at Hopewell. N. J.. where, the night of March 1. 1932, a marauder climbed up to the window and stole the occupant. The workmen first found a cleverly contrived and hidden locker built above the door. A slab of wood that appeared merely a part of the wall, lifted out at a touch. But on the door jamb, written in pencil was this notation: 2974 Decatur—Sedgwick 3-7154. This the address and old telephone number of Dr. Condon. Written on the back of the door, were these notations: JVK) 1928 800007162A. 1928 800009272A. Serial Numbers of Bills Authorities said these were the serial numbers of two bills included In the ransom. The official list of the serial numbers of ransom bills did not show* these numbers, howerer. The secret locker indicated to detectives the possibility that Hauptman, an expert carpenter and cabinet maker, might have built similar lockers elsewhere in his house. That the closet locker could have contained ransom money and that a locker not yet found still might contain some, provided motivation for today's destructive search. Police carpenters will restore the house to its original condition later. Hauptmann immediately tripped himself when he was questioned about the find. He said he had been papering the closet with newspapers, discovered one that gave Condon's address and telephone number and jotted them down because like everyone else he was interested in the case. Mr. Foley pointed out that Condon’s telephone number never was published and if it had been at the time Hauptmann said, it would not have been Sedgwick 3-7154 as it was changed two days before the ransom was paid. Makes Worst Blunder While being questioned about the serial numbers written on the door. Hauptmann made his worst blunder. He said he had noted down the number of bills given him by Isidor Fisch, a now dead furrier whom he claims gave him all the ransom money found in his garage. He said he made the notations in March, 193?. Mr. Foley immediately pointed out that previously he had said he did not meet Fisch for the first time until four months later. Hauptmann hung his head, without answering. He made no reply when Mr. Foley pointed out that he also had claimed j not to have known Fisch had given : him money until a few weeks before he was arrested. Dr. Condon received one telephone call from the kidnaper while he was negotiating for the baby's return. Authorities have all but exonerated Fisch of any connection with the crime.

MOTOR CLOB URGES FOUR-YEAR LICENSE Drivers Paid $400,000 in ’33, Stoops Says. Hoosier motorists paid more than $400,000 for drivers’ licenses in 1933. Increasing registrations will bring the tax bill to more than $500,000 a year. These statements from the Hoosier Motor Club, through Todd Stoops, secretary-manager, are given as basis for the plans of the club to urge a four years’ license at the next general assembly. “The state government changes every four years in Indiana,” Mr Stoops said, “and unless a perpetual driver's license is granted the motorist, Hoosier Motor Club officials believe that every four years is often enough to change old for new licenses. “Ii) that manner every new group of state officials would get a check on automobile drivers. The drivers’ license law was sponsored as a safety measure, not as a means of obtaining revenue.”

Industrial Czars Assailed Before City Civic Group

People’s Lobby Executive Declares Roosevelt Should Reassert Leadership in Special Session. President Roosevelt should call congress in special session soon to demonstrate that he, and not the autocrats of industry and finance, Is conducting this government, Benjamin C. Marsh, Washington, People’s Lobby executive secretary, told civic workers at a luncheon here yesterday. The People’s Lobby is a liberal organization headed by Professor John Dewey, noted psychologist and educator.

“The experience of the Jast eighteen months has demonstrated conclusively that new measures are essential to prevent chaos in our economic system where we had collapse two years ago,” Mr. Marsh said. “Returns to property must be written down, chiefly through drastic writing down of capital structure of most corporations, reducing interest rates and the principal of most long term debts, and wiping out fictitious selling prices of land by transferring taxes from buildings to land values and control of prices and profits,” Mr. Marsh said. “This admittedly will reduce the face of mortgages and life insurance policies and cut down savings accounts. “We must tax incomes and corporation profits as England does, for that nation, with about half of our wealth and income, gets as much from corporation and income taxes as w-e do. We must repeal all consumption taxes. “A Federal Housing Corporation must be empowered to condemn property and construct housing. The alternative to these measures is likely to be an orgy of inflation which would impoverish the masses. “Public ownership of natural resources, natural monopolies and basic industries, which we must have, would not help the situation if owners are paid present valuations. The federal government must market most farm products and declare milk a public utility at once.” Mr. Marsh further advocated tariff reduction and repeal of patent laws. “Asa corollary to these limitations on property returns, highly paid labor and executives must accept a reduction of wages and salaries to conform with reduced costs of living—not for the benefit of capital, but in justice to unskilled and now unemployed labor, which also has its rights,” he asserted. HOUSING LOANS NOT ' TAXABLE AS INCOME Jackson Gives Ruling at Request of Chamber of Commerce. Money borrowed under provisions of the national housing act is not to be classified as income for payment of the gross income tax, according to a ruling by Clarence A. Jackson, state income tax director. The ruling was obtained by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce which is conducting the repair and modernization campaign in connection with the Federal Housing Administration,

JURORS PROBE DEFUNCTBANKS Sweeping Investigation of City Failures Made by Group. A sweeping investigation ? Indianapolis bank failures, co\ering the affairs of every defunct banking house in the city, is being made by the Marion county grand jury. This was admitted today by Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson when he was asked to comment on reports that further probes had been dropped. Mr. Wilson said he had been informed the grand jury has been studying the bank failures for some time. Spurred by recent instructions from Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, the grand jury is understood to have resumed inquiry along lines pointed out by the judge. Judge Baker informed the grand jurors that the Indiana statute defines as embezzlement the acceptance of bank deposits after it is known the bank is insolvent. He also held that it was unnecessary for bank officials personally to have received the deposits. The necessary element under the existing statute, Judge Baker declared, is to show that the officials permitted acceptance of deposits after the insolvency of the institution was known to them. Meanwhile preparations were being made for further argument before Special Judge Alexander G. Cavins on the application of Melville H. Cohn, convicted vice-presi-dent of the Meyer-Kiser bank. Judge Cavins will sit Saturday in criminal court to hear whatever argument Floyd J. Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, may care to offer to offset the contention of defense counsel that instructions to the trial jury by Judge Cavins were prejudicial to the interests of Mr. Cohn. Thief Gets SllO at Party While a party was in progress at the home of Scott M.

6EN. JOHNSON QUITS POST AS RECOVERY HEAD Board to Take Over NRA Administration: One-Man Rule Ended. (Continued From Page One) and the Blue Eagle a symbol of a new order in American business. For his work he received warm commendation from President Roosevelt in a letter accepting his resignation, the second he had submitted. The other was sent to the White House late one night a few weeks ago when the controversy between the general, on one hand, and Miss Perkins and Mr. Richberg, on the other, flared up in some of the fancy rhetoric for which the excavalryman was famous. President Roosevelt plans to get the reorganized NRA quickly in motion to break the pall of lethargy which ckpeended upon Its buzzing offices wmen General Johnson's influence diminished. The place now is like a mausoleum. Everybody has been sitting around holding their hands to see what would happen. Little has been done for weeks. NRA Idea Is Permanent There seems to be no question that the NRA idea is to become permanent, if President Roosevelt has his way. The famous symbol letters may be dropped. But the chief executive, time and again, has served notice that the principles will be retained—collective bargaining for labor, maximum hours and minimum wages, fair trade practices, prohibition of child labor. In devising the permanent set-up for recommendations to congress, the President may find a fight on his hands. Business and industry, organized now as never before, are ready to challenge continautton of NRA along the lines contemplated. A well-organized and well-financed lobby is at their command. The United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers are intent on shuffling off as much of government supervision embodied in NRA as possible, as they have served notice publicly in the last few days. Price-Fixing Dropped The President may outline his NRA ideas in his coming radio address. The reorganization will include simplification of procedure, reduction in the number of codes, as well as cessation of all price-fix-ing provisions. General Johnson balked at price-fixing, but he permitted it in some codes. It has worked badly. The final break follows long discord In NRA which reached the boiling point several w'eeks ago when the problem of reorganization came up and General Johnson found that the plans of the President and of Mr. Richberg and Miss Perkins called for an end of his one-man rule. He found further that his views and theirs about reorganization were in conflict. On several occasions his temper snapped. Other figures will pass from ths scene with him. One undoubtedly will be the youn* woman who started out as his secretary, became known familiarly as “Robbie,” and rose to a commanding poistion as his administrative assistant to make enemies and provoke discord. Miss Frances M. Robinson is not expected to remain at NRA. Edward F. McGrady, the American Federation of Labor lieutenant, w r ho became the general’s close friend, right-hand man and "trouble shooter” in labor disputes, will transfer his activities to the labor department as assistant secretary of labor. He recently has been busy on the Pacific coast with the Longshoremen’s strike. These three were familiar figures in the early days of NRA, constant companions, racing here and thers by airplane, train and automobile. Lieutenant-Colonel G. A. Lynch, who now heads the five-man board which has run NRA in the general’s recent absence, will return soon to the army. Other lesser figures also are expected to depart.
