ROOSEVELT MOVES TO SAVE NRA AND UNIFY NEW DEAL Co-Ordination of Divergent Agencies Seen as President’s Objective; Two New Committees Are Named. RICHBERG’S POWER STRENGTHENED National Emergency Council Chairman Now Second in Command; Labor and Consumer Gain Benefits. By L nited Prri WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—President Roosevelt today swung administration shock troops toward a vital test under anew general staff ordered to co-ordinate emergency policies and rescue NRA from oblivion. He set up a commission government for the limping NRA and created a super-recovery ix>ard to direct NRA policies and unify the entire New’ Deal. Donald 11. liichberg, as
chairman of the industrial emergency committee, emerged as a figure of iml>ortance second only to the President. The smashing realignment of the whole New Deal came just two days after the retirement of General Hugh S. Johnson at a time when he was closeted in a private New York retreat putting final touches on his own life story. Two Committees Named Two executive orders presented the start of the reorganization winch has been constantly expected for several months. The President’s objective was seen as co-ordination of divergent New Deal agencies and revamping of the NR A so that it could once again carry its full burden in the fight against the forces of economic depression. Mr. Roosevelt named two committees. The industrial emergency committee is headed by Mr. Richberg, who is already secretary of the executive council and executive director of the national emergency council. Other members are Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes. Frances Perkins, secretary of labor; AAA Administrator Chester C. I>av\% Relief Administrator Harry L Hopkins and the chairman of the second committee designated to run the NRA. Co-ordination Is Sought The NRA committee comprises Clay Williams, tobacco manufacturer; A. D. Whiteside, former NRA executive; Sidney Hillnian. labor leader; Leon C. Marshall, law professor, and Walton Hamilton. NRA consumers official. Leon Henderson. NRA research and planning chief, and Blackwell Smith. NRA legal advisor. are ex-officio members without vote. Mr. Williams was named chairman of the new board. Mr. Marshall, executive secretary of the board, explained that Colonel George A. Lynch had be.'n requested to continue as recovery administrative officer. Colonel Lynch previously had been the indicated chairman. Mr. Williams is former president of the Reynolds Tobacco Company. The industrial emergency committee directed by the President to direct and co-ordinate • problems of relief, public works, labor disputes and industrial recovery, together with allied problems of agricultural recovery.“ It constitutes, in effect, a board of directors of the recovery forces with broad powers and responsibilities in meeting two of the biggest New Deal problems. These are elimination of inconsistent policies and a vigorous and unified policy for the NRA. Richberg-Perkins Victory The reorganization plan was interpreted as a clear-cut victory for Mr Richberg and Miss Perkins, who had been aligned against General Johnson as to the direction which NRA should take. The second committee will have charge of the actual routhie of administering the NRA. Its work will be similar to that of the committee of deputy administrators which has been in technical charge of the recovery unit for considerable periods since last June in the absence of General Johnson. The makeup of the committee was regarded with interest. It comprises two representatives of industry, one of labor, one unclassed and one for the consumer. Os the ex-officio members. Mr. Henderson is regarded as a consumers’ representative and Mr. Smith is the legal adviser. This was believed to indicate recognition by the President of complaints that labor and the consumer had been inadequately represented in the NRA during the Johnson era. Rapid Improvement Hoped The member* of the board were reluctant to comment regarding their new duties. One. however, suggested that "General Johnson drained the swamp and cleared the jungle. Now the administrative board will build the permanent structure." It was explained that the creation of the two new commutes constituted two of the three divisions of NRA administration of the reorganization now under way. The reorganisation contemplates division of NRA functions along the lines of the federal government with executive, legislative and judicial branches. The judicial setup will complete the picture.

Margins Set by Reserve Board; Termed Liberal Requirements Based on Sliding Scale Far Less Than Average Now Carried; Market Boom Expected. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—The federal reserve board today announced stock margin requirements calculated to provide minimum interference with trading and likely to prove a bullish market factor. The board ordered a sliding scale of margins running from 25 to 45 per cent of the market value of the security being carried.
The requirements differ little from those now asked by members of the New York Stock Exchange and other leading security exchanges. They are far less than the average margins now carried by all security market traders. They were calculated, it was learned in high official circles, to give new reassurance to stock market traders. In one source it was predicted they would promote higher prices for many securities. The new margin requirements, effective Oct. 15. are based on the following loan value of registered securities on registered exchanges. 1. Fifty-five per cent of the market value of a security, or 2. One hundred per cent of the lowest price at which a security has sold since July 1. 1933. but ndl more than 75 per cent of the current market price. The effect of this rule, the standard set In the securities and exchange act. is to establish an average margin on the basis of July 31 prices, of 28 per cent on all American securities, compared with a 25 per cent average margin demanded

JACKSON KILLER ELECTROCUTED Hamilton Goes to Death Calm, Unprotesting at State Prison. By l nited Press MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Sept. 28. —Calm and unprotesting, Louis Hamilton, 29. of loia. Kan., paid in the electric chair today for the murder of Lafayette A. Jackson, Indianapolis merchant. Charles Vernon Witt of Bainbridge, Ind., Hamilton's accomplice in the slaying, was executed in the same chair in the state prison on Nov. 24. 1933. Hamilton was pronounced dead at 12:12 a. m. The killer said good-by to his mother and father and a sister, who came here from lola, yesterday afternoon. Hamilton was convicted at Lebanon on a change of venue from Marion county in December, 1932. He was sentenced to die in July, 1933. U. S. DECLINES BID FOR LEAGUE SERVICE Refuses to Join Committee Seeking End of Chaco War. By United Press GENEVA, Sept. 28.—The United States, nonmember of the League of Nations, refused today to join the leagues conciliation committee, set up in an effort to end the Gran Chaco war between Bolivia and Paraguay.

HOOSIER PUBLISHERS DISCUSS NRA CODE Annual Journalism Course Held at at Indiana University. By I nited Press BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Sept. 28 —The NRA code for newspapers and tentative legal advertising regu- j lations* were discussed here today in the annual journalism short course for Indiana newspaper publishers. The meeting was held in the journalism laboratory of Indiana university. Members of the Hoosier State Press Association held a meeting in conjunction with the course.
bv workers and an average 50 per cent margin carried by all customers. The “liberal" nature of the margin egulations and the possibility they may promote new confidence in the stock market was indicated by officials figures showing many accounts new’ overmargined on the basis of the new regulations. Official figures showed today that on the basis of July 31 market prices that two out of three stocks now would require only 25 per cent margin; one out of four a 25 to 45 per cent margin, and one out of twelve the full 45 per cent margin. The margin requirements hardly will be felt by stock market traders. Brokers, as in the past, still will be responsible for the maintenance of sufficient margin by clients, but the reserve board does not demand that brokers “sell out" accounts for sufficient margin unless for their own protection. The board’s regulations concern only speculative accounts and do not affect collateral loans of banks on which additional regulations will be promulgated.
INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1934
CITY TEXTILE STRIKE RIVALS CONFERAGAIN Union and Plant Officials Report Back on Proposals. PICKETS STILL ACTIVE Federal Board May Be Asked to Settle Walkout Dispute. Reporting back on the results of telegrams which they sent yesterday afternoon to their national organizations, representatives of the Indianapolis Bleaching Company and of the textile strikers met again this afternoo nwith Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan as conciliator in another of the conferences designed to settle their difficulties. Little was expected to result from the meeting, however, and it appeared almost certain that charges of discrimination against the strikers would have to be settled finally by the new textile labor board after hearings in Washington. Meanwhile, the strike was continuing in full force with pickets still around the mill, 900 West Wabash street, despite settlement last week of the national strike. The wires sent late yesterday by both the management and Local No. 2069, United Textile Workers of America, submitted to their national organizations a proposal for settlement of the local situation. Vote to Continue Strike The proposal, which embodied an immediate end to the strike, immediate return to work of 225 out of 400 strikers and eventual absorption of the balance over a period of time, was rejected unanimously, however, by the local after it had been wired to Washington by Charles P. Drake, business agent. The union members, bearing out a prophecy made by Mr. Drake even as he was wiring to Francis J. Gorman, national strike leader, voted not to go back to work until all strikebreakers, to whom they referred as “scabs,” had been “turned out.” Today, word from Washington seemed to indicate that both the' Cotton Textile Institute, mill owners’ organization, and union national headquarters would approve the stands taken by the management and local officials. Mr. Gorman wired Mr. Drake that he would need more details of the proposals than had been sent to him, but he told The Indianapolis Times Washington bureau that the proposal seemed to be discriminatory and that, if such, it could not be approved. It was Mr. Gorman who told The Times of the scheme worked out by U.T.W.A. officials and the newly created textile labor board to have all local disputes settled in Washington after hearings there. Sloan Wires Answer Charles A. Young, plant manager, said he had received an answer from George M Sloan, head of the institute and of the cotton textile code authority, and had forwarded it to Mayor Sullivan. Mr. Sloan indicated, he said, that all strikers except those guilty of violence should be returned to work. Mr. Young did not make clear in what period the strikers’ return should take place, but a statement from Mr. Sloan contained the following paragraph: “It is the recommendation of the code authority that, as work becomes available, workers who did not engage in lawless violence be re-employed.” The phrase, “as work becomes available,” was seen by strike observers as allowing Mr. Young to 1 keep his strikebreakers and to return his employes to work at any rate he desired. Meanwhile, Robert M. Cowdrill, Washington, temporarily in charge of the regional labor board's activities, revealed that he had wired the national textile labor board for instructions. Union Members Displeased While Mr. Cowdrill would not comment, The Times learned authoritatively that there never has been a national labor board decision in the past in which the management of a struck plant was net forced to discharge all strikebreakers to take back strikers. News of the terms of the proposal worked out at yesterday’s conference with Mayor Sullivan displeased union members greatly at a meeting in their strike headquarters. 441 Blake street, and strikerbreakers’ and police automobiles were stoned yesterday evening as they left the plant. There was no violence this morning. Police arrested ten men and boys after the stoning, charging eight with inciting to riot and with throwing stones at public conveyances and sending two to the juvenile detention home. Union leaders said the youths arrested were sympathizers and not union members. Gorman Halts Strikes By United Pres* WASHINGTON. Sept. 28.—Textile union leaders refused today to sanction renewal of walkouts in various localities and informed local union officials that any charges of mill discrimination against strikers should be forwarded here. At the same time. Francis J. Gorman. leader of the recently terminated nation-wide strike, charged that qualified acceptance of nondiscrimination by George A. Sloan cotton textile institute head, amounted to "an open invitation to employers to discriminate.” Industry, through Sloan, virtually had agreed to take back strikers except those who engaged In "lawless violence.'

DEAN TO HURL TODAUUNDAY Young Paul to Pitch for Cards Tomorrow in Crucial Tilt. By United Press ST. LOUIS, Sept. 28—Management of the St. Louis Cardinals definitely announced today that the Dean brothers, Jerome < Dizzy), and his younger brother Paul, will hurl the last three games against the Cincinnati Reds. Dizzy today. Paul tomorrow, Dizzy again Sunday, is the plan. Over the length of the entire season, the Cardinals’ pitching staff has a 13 to 6 win edge against the Reds, but the Deans alone have shorter odds, 5 to 3. Together, however, the Deans have won forty-six of the Cardinals’ ninety-two victories this year—so per cent—Dizzy winning twentyeight, Paul eighteen. An early threat of rain, which might wash out the game, appeared dispelled well before noon. President Sam Breadon announced that every effort would be made to play the three games. “We must,” he said, “for games unplayed by Sunday night will be washed off the schedule.” The Cards are only one-half game behind the leading Giants in a hot battle for the National League pennant. A victory today will give them a tie for the top, as New York is idle.
CITY DESIGNATED AS AID PORTOF ENTRY Foreign Goods to Be Flown Here Directly.

SUICIDE IS PLANNED BY HAUPTMANN, IS BELIEF; CRUDE WEAPON FOUND
STATE’S CASE AGAINST DEAN TO ENDTODAY Driver Fails to Identify Suspect; Surprise Due, Mattice Says. A surprise witness this afternoon was to conclude the state's case against Edward (Foggy) Dean, charged with the submachine gun murder of Police Sergeant Lester Jones in a garage holdup last year, Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, announced at noon. Court was recessed early to permit time for the arrival of the witness. Hal Butts, former local taxi driver, disappointed the state in the morning session by failing to identify Dean as one of the five fleeing bandits who commandeered his taxicab a few moments after the crime and forced Butts to lie on the floor Paul Lutmer, taxicab company employe, also in the cab during the wild ride, previously had identified Dean as the driver. Butts said that he had enjoyed only one fleeting glance at the driver as the car stopped in the country outside city limits, and that the driver then had slapped him on the face and warned him not to “look so hard.” Ernest (Red) Giberson, Fred Adams. Charles Schwartz and Willie Mason were named by Butts as the other bandits in the ride. Adams and Schwartz are now serving life sentences for participation in the holdup and slaying. Giberson is in the county jail; Mason, a fugitive. At the end of the ride, Adams paid Mr. Lutmer S2O, Butts testified. Butts was brought here from Chicago by the state and had been expected to identify Dean. Hat Leads to Dispute Dean's new light gray felt hat, purchased by his wife a day or so before his trial began, precipitated a bitter debate between Clyde Miller, defense counsel, and the deputy prosecutor as the trial recessed last night. Conrad Wiegand, Marion county prison guard, identified the hat as one he had taken from Dean in the county jail and had carried to the criminal court room under orders from Mr. Mattice. Mr. Miller denounced introduction of the light gray hat in evidence. Previous witnesses, who had placed Dean at the scene of the murder, testified that Dean was then wearing a light gray hat. Mr. Mattice convinced Judge Jones he intended to offer the hat only to prove Dean's head size. Mrs, Dean Objects Several days ago Mrs. Dean, objecting to the seizure of her husband's new hat, voiced her protests to Mr. Miller. Mr. Wiegand declared the hat size is 7%. Mr. Miller sought to show that Dean’s head size is 7 1 ;, and that Mrs. Dean had made a mistake in buying the larger size. State’s witnesses previously had told how Dean, driving the commandeered taxicab, had forced the driver to wear his felt hat while Dean, according to their testimony, disguised himself by wearing the taxi driver's uniform cap.

Finally a plumber was called to take apart a drain. He found the spoon in the drain.
RITES ARE HELD FOR SLAIN GIRL Assailant Sought in Akron as Schoolmates Bury Attack Victim. By United Press DETROIT. Sept. 28.—Little Lillian Gallagher was borne to her grave by schoolmates today while police tracked her suspected attacker and killer to Akron, O. Two men, Patrolman Charles Caporan and Joseph E. Penn, said they saw Merton W. Goodrich in and near Akron. Goodrich, named in a warrant as Lillian's slayer, has visited Akron frequently, police were informed. Other clew's to the w’hereabouts of Goodrich and his wife, who disappeared from the apartment where Lillian’s mutilated body was found crammed in a trunk Wednesday, were received from Ohio and Michigan cities and Chicago. The 900 seats in St. Dominic's church here were filled when last rites were said for Lillian today. Outside the church, 3,000 stood for more than two hours before the casket was carried out. Traffic was rerouted, and police were called to maintain order. Eight little girls, Lillian's schoolmates. carried the casket from the church. Meawnhile. police were assured that Goodrich’s relatives would notify them if the former inmate of an Ohio state hospital for the criminal insane called on them for aid.
Suspect Not Sought Here Police here last night intercepted a message from the Michigan state police radio station, Lansing, Mich., stating that Merton Ward Goodrich, Detroit musician wanted in the murder of 11-year-old Lillian Gallaher in Detroit, was believed to be en route to Evansville or Louisville. The Michigan state police broadcast said that Goodrich, a former inmate of an Ohio asylum for the criminally insane, was believed to be “bumming” rides on trucks. In such an event, his path might lie through Indianapolis. Detective Chief Fred Simon said, however, that no request to search for him had been received from either Detroit or Michigan state police.

The announcement said the spoon Was sharpened on the bowl end and that the other end was bent, apparently so | that it formed a crude weapon. The spoon was broken into four parts when found. The bowl of the spocn had been flattened out and sharpened. It was in two parts. The handle, also in two parts, had been bent into a hook. Jailers would not discuss either the possibility of suicide or a jail break attempt. However, it was an nounced that Hauptmann henceforth would eai with paper plates and utensils. He also was moved to another cell In Dangerous Mood One report quoted a jailer as saying the prisoner appeared to be in a mood which would make suicide likely. He seldom talks, seldom asks for anything and spends most of his time pacing his cell or just standing and staring at the floor. ! Meanwhile, investigation of friends of Hauptmann and of indications that several persons wer| involved in the Lindbergh kidnapj ing proceeded rapidly witn federal agents and police rounding up all ! possible witnesses for questioning. One man, a friend of H3uptmann, was taken by federal agents and police to Mr. Foley's office shortly after noon. Federal agents emphasized that he was not under arrest and that he—like various others—was questioned as to the possibility that they had acquired some of the ransom money from Hauptmann and Lad, unwittingly, passed it. German, Say U. S. Agents Federal agents, who were accompanied by New York and New Jersey police, said the man's would come from Mr. Foley. He is a German. All of the persons rounded up were to be taken before various tradespeople in the Bronx who have, at one time or another, taken in some of the ransom money. These persons were to try to identify Hauptmann's friends as soma who possed ransom money. The informal appearance of the witnesses at Mr. Foley’s office assumed greater proportions during the afternoon and it was considered an important stage of the search for possible accomplices. Condon to View Witnesses Dr. J. F. Condon, the ransomTntermediary, was expected to be one of those to view the witnesses, and it was said that Colonel Lindbergh also might participate. The investigator’s best hints as to a possible accomplice have been given in their search for a stoopshouldered man and a woman, described as a ‘ Latin,” both of whom were supposed to have been at the ransom scene. Other developments today: 1. Announcement that a psychiatrist and a doctor would examine Hauptmann tomorrow, the first indication that the defense might plan an insanity plea. Hauptmann's lawyer refused to comment further, however. 2. Announcement by defense counsel that, in answer to written questions, Hauptmann had said he never saw the Lindbergh baby either dead or alive; that he was innocent of all charges and that he had never seen the ransorrf intermediary.
