/ Cover the World WM PHllfp SIMMS \\T ASHING TON, Dec. 22.—Through legislation to ▼ V be introduced early in the next session of Congress, the United States will face the momentous choice of three different courses of action in its relations with foreign powers. F:r t. withdrawal within its shell in the event of another big war according to a plan carefully plotted in advance. Second, co-operation with the other great powers to prevent the occurence of any war involving

this country. Third, a course combining both policies. Charles Warren, assistant attorney general during the World War, is now working with the State Department on a study of America's position should another major conflict break out. Legislative proposals to buttress this country's position probably will be drawn by him or with his aid. The exact nature of his present study is a slate secret until the State Department chooses to make it public. But an outline of his views, written for Foreign Affairs,

Wm, Philip Simms

furnishes a clew. •‘Americans at the present time," he said, "seem determined to refrain from joining with other countries in attempts to avert war, and equally determined to remain neutral and to keep out of any war that may occur between other countries. "Personally, I believe that the United States should not so refrain; and I fear, moreover, that it will be impossible to remain neutral in any war between great powers resulting from a violation of the Lake covenant or of the Kellogg pact.” tt a a, Abandon So-Called Rights BUT. he continued, so long as this country holds the opposite view, it is of the utmost importance that Americans should know what they are up against. For." he explained, “in order to keep out of any future war between great powers, the United States must do far more than remain technically neutral.’’ Many so-called "rights" would have to be abandoned from the outset. Dr. Warren believes a complete code regulating our position should be worked out in advance to go into force the moment war broke out abroad. We should make no loans to any belligerents and forbid sale or supply of munitions. Americans should be kept of! ships carrying arms, and American vessels entering war zones should be warned they do so at their own peril. No recruiting of any kind should be allwoed on American territory—even of the reservists of the belligerent nations. It should be made a crime for Americans to enlist in the warring armies. Merchant ships even though chartered by a belligerent in this country, should be treated as auxiliary cruisers. a tt tt Wants Legislation on Rooks ARMED merchantmen and submarines of belligerents. commercial or not, should be banned, and all radio, both ashore and in American waters, should lx* under strict Government control. Any belligerent using the American flag as a ruse on its i ships should be barred from American ports. Merchant shops of a belligerent, choosing to remain in an American port, should be taken over to prevent being used as seats of bomb manufacture or otherwise harmfully. Nor should our ports be used as bases of supply by ships carrying such supplies to belligerent ships at sea. Dr. Warren believes legislation along the above i lines should be on the statute books, and that the j President should be given power to exercise his discretion as to their application in any war in which j the United States is a neutral. Otherwise, the American people should give their ' “intense, serjous and continuous consideration to Joining with other nations" to prevent another war which would involve us.

Your Health —BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

PAIN in your stomach may range in cause from mere hunger to some serious trouble, such as ulcer or gallbladder disease. So don’t try to dismiss the pain with the common popular diagnosis of dyspepsia. It may be more than that. The gnawing pain of hunger probably is known to most of us. You won't feel such pain so severely when you are warm and rested, but it becomes intense when you're tired, cold, or worried. And hunger pains are particularly severe when there is an ulcer of the stomach or the duodenum, and when there is disease of the gallbladder or appendicitis. Persons who have too much acid in the stomach, or smoke too much, may be bothered with hunger pains. You can see. therefore, that this trouble is not a sign of a particular disease, but merely that something is wrong. H you feel hunger pains regularly, you should see what the cause of the disturbance can be. a a a \ NOTHER common symptom demanding attenA tion is the collection of air in the stomach with belching. Usually you get a sense of fullness or discomfort in the chest, and erucation or belching of gas relieves this feeling. If the material that is belched is of strong odor, there is probably some food that the stomach has not yet moved onward. If there is no odor the belching may be due to the fact that too much air lias been swallowed. There are many causes for the swallowing of air. Sometimes it is a habit developed by the attempt to belch and thereby to relieve the pressure in the stomach. Sometimes air swallowing is associated with the attempt to get rid of the mucus arising from infection in the throat or in the sinuses. The repeated swallowing of this material takes air with it. In either of these cases, clearing up of the condition responsible for the swallowing of air will take care of the symptoms. a a a OJNE of the commonest symptoms of stomach disturbances is heartburn. This is a sense of burning down the course of the esophagus—the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach. It may be attributed to overeating of sugars, anemia, pregnancy in women, or hurry and worry in eating. This > one stomarh disturbance that can be relieved • taking of a.kalis, such as bicarbonate of soda. -lowever. bicarbonate of soda is not a cure for the main difficulty involved, but is merely a temporary palliative. In any case, you should find out the cause of the disturbance, rather than keep on palliating Mth bicarbonate of soda. Besides these symptoms, there is also the sudden regurgitation into the mouth of fluid which is either sour, because of the presence of acid, or which is tasteless. The acid condition is associated with an ulcer in the duodenum, with too much smoking, with rushing and irregularity of meals. Regurgitation of fluid that is not sour is usually due to the swallowing of considerable amounts of saliva, perhaps an attempt by the body to relieve the hunger pains or the ulcer pains that have already been mentioned.

THE MURDER OF BABY LINDBERGH

No Time Wasted in Indictment, Arraignment of Hauptmann

The Judicial authorities of New York and New Jertejr worked rapidly, after the arrest of Bruno Rirhard Hauptmann, to brine indictments arainst him that would, at leaat. hold hir.i in custody until further investigation of his connection with the ransom money. The foltowinc dispatch, eleventh in the Sidney B. Whipple series, tells the story of the extradition battle preceding Hauptmann's removal to New Jersey. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE I'nited Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1934. by United Press) KLEIG lights poured their blinding rays upon the pale face of Bruno Richard Hauptmann as he was paraded at the police lineup. John J. Sullivan, assistant chief inspector of the New York Police Department. exhibited the prisoner to an audience of 250 detectives and newspaper reporters, and dwelt upon his record in the manner of a lecture on anatomy. “This prisoner,” said Inspector Sullivan, “admits having passed several of the Lindbergh ransom bills. Nearly sls 000 of the money has been found in his garage. We have a clear case of extortion against him. and a more serious charge is being prepared in New Jersey.” Two days later, Hauptmann was indicted by a Bronx County Grand Jury on charges of having extorted $50,000 from Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, and was held in SIOO,OOO bail for future hearing. Mrs. Hauptmann engaged, with her husbands consent. James Mark Fawcett, a New York attorney, as chief of the defense forces, and preparations were made to fight the forthcoming extradition demand by the State of New' Jersey. The Hunterdon Country grand jury, meanwhile, wasted no time in naming Hauptmann, not as the abductor of the child, but as the actual murderer. Its indictment related that Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. was

slain during or as the result of a burglary. Under the law, a person causing another’s death during the commission of a felony, or as an unforseen result of the felony, is guilty of first degree murder. o n tt GOV. A. HARRY MOORE of New Jersey, made formal demand upon Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York for possession of the prisoner. Gov. Lehman signed the warrant at once, and in accordance with regular procedure, the extradition case went to the courts, under habeas corpus proceedings brought by Attorney Fawxett. Extradition proceedings differ from an ordinary trial. The burden of proof, in such cases, rests upon the defendant to show' that he could not have been in the accusing state at the time of the crime with which he is charged. Anna Hauptmann testified that “if March 1, 1932, were a Tuesday, then I am certain he called for me at Christianson’s bakery that evening. He always called for me on Tuesday evenings.” Her statement was borne out in part by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Christianson, her employers, although neither of those witnesses w'as willing to say, definitely and positively, that Hauptmann actually did call for his w'ife on the fateful night. tt tt tt PERHAPS the most important testimony at the extradition hearing was that of Albert S. Osborn, world-famous handwriting expert. Mr. Osborn swore that the ransom notes, including the original message left in the crib at Hopewell and the subsequent letters received by Dr. John F. Condon, w'ere all written by the same hand.

DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Some of Henry Wallace's most sagacious observers secretly expect that the exemption of the little fellow's from the restrictions of the Bankhead Act will prove a boomerang. The move has had its desired effect—namely, to induce the 600,000 cotton farmers w r ho grew two bales or less to vote for an extension of the act. Constituting two-thirds of the total number of cotton farmers, it was this group which put the vote across. But there is a serious hitch. It is the possibility of evasion by big plantation owners. The Bankhead Act, in its new form, can be made to play right into their hands. For instance, a plantation of 5000 acres may be tended by

400 share-tenants or share-crop-pers, each of whom can be called a grower with a right to exemption under the new clause. Thus, by regarding his plantation as a group of small farms, a big planter could obtain exemption measures. If generally practiced, this maneuver could so increase the total reduction as to throw control plans completely out of joint. a a a THE other day a tall, blond young man walked up to one of the bcok counters in one of Washington's largest department stores and asked a salesman: “Is ‘Esquire’ a risque magazine?” “Oh. no.” she replied. It is a man's magazine, but by no means risque.” “Well, I'm looking for a magazine for an old man. If you are sure it is not risque I'll take a year's subscription.” “I'm sure you will have no complaint against the magazine on that score.” “All right, then please have it sent to Herbert Hoover, Palo Alto, Cal.” And before the startled saleswoman could gather her wits the unknown customer had plunked down his money and departed. a a a IF dapper Jimmy Moffett's ears are burning it is because they are talking about him on Capitol Hill. The Federal Housing Administrator must face confirmation at the hands of the Senate, and some of the liberals are privately voicing none-toc-friendly sentiments. His Standard Oil background! does not sit well with them. Also, his recent .’usillade against Secretary Ickes’ proposal for a vast program of Government-financed low-cost housing registered a distinctly adverse imprei*ion. Whether a fight will be made against Moffett's appointment is conjectural. But his record, past and present. is being scanned. One thing is certain: He will be subjected to committee interrogation regarding his economic views—and some Senate sharpshooters can be mighty tough. NOTE: Some of Jimmy's friends would like to transfer him to be assistant secretary of the Navy, if and when Assistant Secretary Roosevelt succeeds Swanson, which is not unlikely. a a a THE Postoffice Department has found it necessary to make its employes stamp conscious. Recently the department issued anew combination stamp, covering postage for a one-ounce airmail letter, plus special delivery service. But clerks, thinking the new

The State of New Jersey asked, through Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz, whether it could not logically be held that the man who wrote the Jafsie letters had actually been at the scene of the kidnaping. “The writer of the second ransome note,” Wilentz pointed out, “admitted therein that he had been in Hopew'ell on that night, w'hen he said ‘w'e left a ransom note in the crib.’ How could he have known about the first ransom note unless he had participated in the crime?” tt tt tt HAUPTMANN'S extradition w'as ordered and on Oct. 19 he was taken under heavy guard to the model jail behind the cen-tury-old courthouse in Flemington. the Hunterdon County seat. Five days later, the German ex-machine gunner was arraigned formally and pleaded not guilty to the murder indictment. He appeared, at that time, to be a strange combination of stoicism and apathy. Reports from the office of Sheriff John H. Curtiss—w'hose double “s” at the end of his name differentiated him from John H. Curtis of Norfolk—were that Hauptmann showed a healthy appetite, a fondness for heavy cigars, and a passion for reading. Anna Hauptmann and her baby, Mannfried, moved to Hopewell and took up a residence ift a cottage, to be near the man to w'hom, throughout the case, she remained utterly loyal. tt St tt JAMES M. FAWCETT fought successfully against the state's proposal to rush Hauptmann to trial. Wdentz had asked for an immediate hearing, with the ac-

ornate creation merely another anniversary or memorial issue, of which there have been a number in the last year, have been treating letters bearing these stamps as ordinary mail. The result was a flood of complaints. In an effort to correct the situation the department has issued an order directing all employes to familiarize themselves with the design of the new stamp, as well as all others.

GIANT LENS TO TAKE 10 MONTHSTO COOL 20-Ton ‘Eye’ Will Be Ready in Three Years. By United Press CORNING. New' York. Dec. 22. The temperature of the electric an-' nealing oven in which the world’s largest telescope mirror is cooling, is being dropped one degree daily, officials of the Corning Glass Works said today. It will be 10 months before the giant “eye,” which was cast here nearly three weeks ago, will be taken out of the oven. Although they will not be able to inspect the mirror until that time, officials are confident it will be a success. After it is cooled, the mirror must be ground to perfection, a process that will require three or four years. The mirror, when finished, will be 17 feet in diameter and w'eigh 20 tons. It will be mounted in a telescope on Mount Palomar in Southern California and is expected to reveal objects one billion light years distant. COUNTY LETS $150,000 CONTRACT ON PRINTING Burford Firm Successful Bidder for Fourth Y'ear. The contract for Marion County’s printing for next year, a matter of approximately $150,000. yesterday was awarded to the William B. Burford Printing Cos. of Indianapolis. This was the fourth successive year that the Burford organization, the lowbidder, won the contract. Successful bidders in all classifications were low. except for the grocery contract, where M. O'Connor was successful although J. P. Michaels entered a lower bid. In this case County Auditor Charles Grossart explained that under the unit system of purchasing, the O’Connor bid would save the county money.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—They say on Tin Pan Alley that no composer has more than one great song in his heart. It’s hard to argue this axiom because if you mention Irving Berlin, for example, and his several fine hits, the gentlemen of the tune factories blandly will suggest that Mr. Berlin’s greatest song is yet to be written.

It seems to me, though, that the rule can be applied more aptly to the singers of songs. For every one of them is best known now, and most likely will be hereafter, for a single song. Since the Christmas night of 1905, when “Mile. Modiste” opened here, Victor Herbert's “Kiss Me Again” has belonged to Fritzi Scheff. That triumph became a sort of nemesis for her; it overshadowed the remainder of her career. Audiences always clamored for “Kiss Me Again.” They still do, at parties or luncheons or wherever she goes. a a a HELENMORGAN boarded Ziegfeld's “Show Boat” and sang “Bill.” She sang other songs in other shows, but listeners whispered: “She’ll never have another number like 'Bill’.” So she went into night clubs, fluttered her white hands, twisted her handkerchief, and sang “Bill” some more. That’s what the customers wanted. If and when she returns to the night clubs, they'll still want it. Rudy Vallee always will be “Just a Vagabond Lover” to most of us

Fair Enough WfSWOK n HEAVEN forgive me if I stomp on the delicate sensibilities of the winter-resort and tropicalcruise department, but I have been thinking of the pure white snow, the dry cold and the invigorating air of the North in wintertime and the difference between the hibiscus and the hemlock, the Caribbean and the iceboat lakes. You may take your choice, if you have any choice in the matter, but the snow has been sold so short so long since the United States came into the money and discovered where June

goes in winter, that I venture a disinterested reminder. The difference between the Adirondacks and Florida or Cuba, between Honolulu and the icicle country of the West, in winter, is the difference hetween the Tom Collins and the hot toddy. There is something to be said for both. In the lazy, luxurious tropics, it is a matter of white clothes, golf, sea-fishing, sunburn, roulette and dancing out of doors by the light of a nickel-plated moon. In the regions where winter still means every letter in the spelling of the word, it is a matter of woolens, flannels, boots, skates, skis.

sleds, chilblains, frost-bite, ham-and-egs and hot coffee, slot machines and a blaze of pine-knots in a fireplace the size of a two-car garage. Your pleasure, ladies and gentlemen? The sales resistance against the snow and cold weather is strong, but I have nothing to sell and may speak freely of the f .-gotten pleasures of the winter in the regions where winter still does business under the old sign, tt a tt Hustle, Roys, If You Want to Re Warm THE winter games of the Olympic program when, the United States was host to the quadrennial congress of the supermen and women a few years ago were held at Lake Placid, N. Y. This was just an ordinary', side-of-the-road lake resort in the Adirondacks until the Olympic promotion left a few permanent improvements including a covered rink for the skaters where the ice is never fouled by snow or sleet or honeycombed by thaws. There is also a great curling groove down the side of a ridge called Mt. Van Hoevenberg and a tower on a mountainside from which the more talented ski-jumpers take off. These existed before the winter Olympics as a lure to the reckless, but a trip down either slide Is such a terrifying project that comparatively few of the customers can be said to have been attracted On their account. There is no lolling or lazing out of doors in the winter country. On the contrary the guests must hustle to keep alive, and hustling under the impost of clothing and boots which the weather insists upon becomes a genuine problem of cargo-carrying in the course of a day among the drifts. it tt it Just a Hardy Northerner IN appearance, it can not be said that the addicts of this curious pleasure are any less attractive than those who go in for summer stuff down South. The costumers of New York have bonwed and improved upon ideas developed in Switzerland and the garish color-effects of the winter regalia, when seen against the white background, compensate for a lack of symmetry. Moreover, it can not be argued that even on the beaches in Florida all is symmetry wherever the eye may rove. It is a little known fact that there is a definite cult of snow-chasers who shun the tropics and warmth as long as they can every year, pursuing the winter northw'ard into Canada as spring comes on and persisting until summer at last overtakes them, up toward the Arctic Circle. They are far outnumbered, of course, by those who feel cold in their feet and joints along toward January or February and, if their money permits, go South to borrow a week or two of summer on account. Oh, winter is a fine institution and waffks and fried chicken and maple syrup are the food that hardy snow-birds live on up in the hills where the chains go clinkety-clank on the automobile fenders and the little black bear is a household pet. It makes me homesick to go on this way and I hope some old friend at Placid will not forget to w'rite and tell me how goes everything in that brisk, brave, happy land when I am down in Miami this winter.

Today's Science BY DAVID DIETZ

A WAR on noise has been launched by engineers of the Westinghouse Research Laboratory. This has been made possible by the development of anew portable “noise analyzer” which, while rugged enough to be carried about and used almost anywhere, is neverthelers equal in sensitivity to the best known type of laboratory instrument. The noise analyzer, which has been developed by W. O. Osbon, Westinghouse research engineer, separates a noise into the various elements which compose it and measures the pitch and the intensity of each component. The analyzer consists of three small leather-cov-ered cases. One contains a noise meter; the second, the noise analyzer proper, and the third, a microphone and batteries. In recent tests, the analyzer w r as carried in a highspeed air liner, in Pullmans and coaches on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and in Pittsburgh street cars and busses. Mr. Osbon and other Westinghouse engineers believe that it is a well-established fact that noise 1 a bad psychological effect upon human beings, isl pairing efficiency, increasing irritability, and pS® haps injuring health. a a a LOUDNESS alone is not enough to determine the psychological importance of a noise, Mr. Osbon points out. Pitch, complexity and variations in complexity all play important parts in determining the effect of a noise upon a person. Moreover, in order to locate the source of noises, it is necessary to know' something about the pitch or frequency of the sounds. Mr. Osbon points out that while airplanes and other vehicles have been tested for total noise, no tests have been made previously to find out what percentage of the noise is in the low frequency bend, how much is in the high frequency band and at what frequencies the peaks of noise occur. In an analysis of an airplane, a Pullman, a street car. and a bus, Mr. Osbon found that in each the low frequency sources of noise are much more intense than the high frequency sources. In the case of the airliner and the Pullman, the high frequency noises were no louder than the purring of a cat. The high frequency noises were higher in the street car and the bus. Mr. Osbon attributed these to gear noises in the bus and window-rattle and similar impact noises in the street car. a a a IN appearance, the noise analyzer resembles a radio set. On its panel are the usual dials, switches, and meters. Within the leather-covered case, there are radio tubes, transformers, condensers, and so on. In fact, the analyzer works upon the general principle of the superheterodyne radio set. Operating the analyzer is like tuning in a radio program. Out of many programs in the air, the radio set chooses one of a particular wave length or frequency. In similar fashion, out of all the wave lengths or frequencies of sound in a noise, the analyzer picks out just one to measure at a time. Sound waves, it must be remembered, consist of vibrations of the air. These vibrations, striking the ear drum, exert a definite mechanical pressure upon it.
