ROOSEVELT TO RECOUNT GAINS OF NEW DEAL

Reassurance of Nation to Be Purpose of First Message. BONUS SUPPORT GROWS Early Showdown on Veterans’ Proposal Forecast on Eve of Session. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 2 —President Roosevelt has prepared for the first New Deal Congress which convenes at noon tomorrow a message of reassurance that the nation is rmerging from unprecedented social and economic depression. President Roosevelt will deliver his annual message to Congress between noon and 3 p. m. Friday, he said today. Mr. Roosevelt, revealed that the finishing touches yet remained to be placed on the message. Meanwhile, he carried forward plans for a meeting Friday night with Congressional leaders, four or five from each house. With them he will review recommendations in the message and go over in detail the legislative picture of the year. The end of the week will see Mr Roosevelt completing his budget message which Congress will receive Monday. Jobless I irst Concern Unemployment is the foremost Administration concern as Congressmen gather. Bound up in the plight of the jobless are problems of relief, lagging industrial activity. Federal spending and. in general, a return to normal living conditions. Controversy, cliques and issues criss-cross the majorities by which the Democratic party controls the House. Democrats have margins of 322 and 42 votes, respectively. But Congressional leaders already are conceding that Congress will challenge Mr. Roosevelt on the war veterans’ bonus which he refuses to pay now at a cost in excess of $2.000.000 000. House Leaik'rs Uneasy Uneasy House leaders plan to revive strict rules abandoned three years ago in an effort to check the drive of organized' minorities tor inflaPlenary legislation to aid farm debtors and depositors of closed banks. Congress Is but a day away from ♦he gavel taps which will open an historic session, but the White House has succeeded so far in concealing the legislative recommendations upon which it will be asked to act. Mr. Roosevelt's care in keeping details of his program a secret reflects White House fears that this Congress may become unmanageable unless dealt with cautiously.

Budget Message Jan. 7 The President will appear before a mint session of Congress shortly after noon Friday to read his message on the state of the nation. His specific legislative proposals will be submitted later in a series of messages which will present bills to Congress one at a time. The budget message—foretelling Administration spending and borrowing plans and the prospects for a balanced budget—will reach Congress on Jan. 7. Senate Democrats meet today to continue Sen. Joseph T. Robinson as Majority Leader. Senate Republicans also will confer. Robinson Is Re-Elected By t niff a Prrtt WASHINGTON. Jan. 2 Senate Democrats today re-elected Senator Joseph T. Robinson of A.kansas as majority leader for the 74th Congress.

Andre Mallarme. minister of education, announced completion of the negotiations on behalf of the Bibliotheque Nationale, which is the official custodian of the treasure. Meanwhile, the greatest living Napoleonic authorities in France, working feverishly to decipher the Corsican's script—written from horseback on battlefields, from headquarters and bivouacks stretching from Paris to Moscow—agreed in declaring the collection the greatest Napoleonic find in modern history. The Government's announcement said: “The Bibliotheque Nationale authorizes the announcement that the United Feature Syndicate has acquired exclusively all rights of reproduction and translation for all countries excepting France of the letters of Napoleon I to Mane Louise which were recently purchased by the Bibliotheque Nationale.’’ The announcement marked ihe conclusion of tw o weeks of lively' competition among prospective purchasers during which Bibliotheque officials were bombarded with bids by cable, telegraph and transAtlantic telephone, for publication rights to one of the most important sets of historical documents, hitherto acquired unpublished, ever acquired by any government. Press to Publish Letters By United Prr* NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—The complete letters of Napoleon to his second empress, Marie Louise, will be given to the public first in newspapers simultaneously throughout the world. Monte F. Bourjaily, general manager of the United Feature Syndicate, announced today. “This is the second time within a year that hitherto unpublished documents of great literary or historical value have been made available to the public through the newspapers.” Mr. Bourjaily pointed out, “Early in 1934 the United Feature Syndicate obtained in London and sold to newspapers publication rights in Charles Dickens’ ‘The Life of Our Lord.' Dickens Feat Recalled “There are several points of resemblance between this and publication of the Dickens manuscript. “ The Life of Our Lord’ was kept a family secret by the Dickens family for 85 years. Napoleon's letters to Marie Louise were kept a family secret by the Hapsburgs for 120 years. “Before the manuscript of these letters was offered for sale at Sotheby's in London, a scattering of extracts was published in a catalog and distributed by agents to prospective purchasers. Some of the excerpts were cabled and published in the form of letters from Napoleon to Marie Louise. Aroused Great Interest “These meager gleanings from the newly discovered Napoleoniana revealed an interest in Napoleon which caused us to contract with the French government for the entire collection of 318 letters. “Napoleon was a prolific letter writer. possible source had been searched for a century, and it was not believed that anything he i ever wTOte could have remained a secret. That is what makes this find of an entirely unknown and unsuspected group of letters to Marie Louise so intriguing. “Arrangements are now being made for publication of the complete letters in all civilized countries and in newspapers of every language.” Brakeman Killed by Train By l nited Prrtt WABASH.

ICKES DEFENDS AIDS AGAINST OUSTER MOVE

Bitter Dispute Within NewDeal Cabinet Bared by Announcement. PWA SLEUTHS INVOLVED Shadowed Cabinet Officer Is Hint: Denial Is Issued by Roosevelt. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. A smouldering dispute in the New Deal Administration flamed this afternoon with reports that Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, had received a White House hint to discharge two of his closest advisers. President Roosevelt and Mr* Ickes immediately denied published reports that such a hint had been given. The men involved are: Louis R. Glavis, chief investigator of the detective force organized by Mr. Ickes to protect PWA against graft. Ebert K. Burlew, who is Mr. Ickes chief administrative assistant. Quarrel Long Brewing Bolstering the indications of internal dissension is apparently authoritative information that a member of the Roosevelt cabinet was among those investigated by Mr. Ickes’ detectives. Persons outside the Administration have known for some time of -the investigation of one of Mr. Ickes' cabinet colleagues. The certainty of denial if the Cabinet official were named probably has been the major factor in preventing publication of the story. Mr. Roosevelt’s statement that he had not suggested discharge of Mr. Glavis or Mr. Burlew disposes of that phase of the situation. But the background of dissension remains undisturbed by Mr. Roosevelt's disclaimer. Some observers are guessing that Mr. Ickes would resign rather than sacrifice either Mr. Glavis or Mr. Burlew to the enemies within the New Deal administrative group or on Capitol Hill. Ballinger Incident Recalled There is considerable congressional antagonism toward Mr. Burlew, largely because of his service at the interior Department dtSring the Coolidge and Hoover Administrations. The Progressive congressional element is hostile to him. Mr. Glavis returned to Government service with the New Deal 25 years after he was discharged from a job as chief Interior Department sleuth. He was let out after denouncing an alleged illegal land grab in Alaska by a Morgan-Gug-genheim syndicate. That dispute started the Bal-linger-Pinchot controversy which wrecked the Taft Administration. Mr. Ballinger finally resigned and his ruling in support of the Alaskan land entries was reversed by his successor. Reported Called Absurd “Reports that the White House has sought the ouster of Mr. Burlew and Mr. Glavis are absurd.” Mr. Ickes said today. “They look to me like bushwhacking.” He said no changes were contemplated in the PWA organization so far as Mr. Burlew and Mr. Glavis are concerned. Publication of the report that Mr. Roosevelt had intimated their discharge would be welcome was accepted. however, as sufficient proof that Ml'. Ickes, Mr. Glavis and Mr. Burlew have powerful enemies to the New Deal Administration and that, the fight—probably directed, largely at ;.r. Ickes—is coming into the o*- after months of concealm nt.

1934 PLATES ON CAR. DRIVER IS ARRESTED State Police Charge Times Employe With Having No License. Charles F. Wicker, 458 Haugh-st, an employe of The Indianapolis Times, was arrested at 10 a. m. today at 29th-st and Northwestern-av by state police who charged he had 1934 license plates on his car. He was charged with having no license plates, since they were last year’s; with having no driver's license and with having no certificate of title and was ordered to be in Municipal Court this afternoon.

This was indicated today by Pleas Greenlee, who declared that the vacancy probably would be filled by a promotion within the department and then added that both Mr Carrico and Mr. Wyman were eligible Jor promotion.

SIXTY MINERS START SUICIDE STRIKE. ASK 2 MONTHS 1 BACK PAY

By United Prrtt WARSAW, Jan. 2. —Sixty miners deliberately faced death in the Baska pit of the Bobrowa coal field today in a suicide strike by which they hoped to obtain two months’ back pay. They remained in the colleries while water flowed in at the rate cf 250 cubic feet a minute, and refused to leave until their demands were met. A crisis was expected today as the water neared the mine shaft. In addition to their demand for back pay, the miners want the owners to promise them that the mine will not be closed. If it were closed, and the pumps stopped permanently, the mine would be ruined by water. URGE FORMATION'OF TRANSPORT AUTHORITY Committee Advises Super Commission in Report to President.

TWO WOMEN, TWO MEN SEATED IN JURY TO HEAR LINDRERGH SLAYING CASE

FEENEYOWNS SLOT MONK WAR H STATE Calls in Police Heads and Directs Seizures in Rural Areas. The entire Indiana State Police force today was ordered by A1 Feeney, state safety director, to wage war without discrimination against what Mr. Feeney described as extensh ** state slot machine business, a mlhon-riollar racket. At a conference in his office attended by Capt. Matt Leach and his three district leaders, Lieut. Ray Fisher, Lieut. Ray Hinkle and Lieut. Chester Butler, Mr. Feeney ordered all machines in the state outside Indianapolis and larger cities seized. City police will be responsible for these latter. His decision to make a sweeping and sustained war on the machines, he told the police, was based on several score of requests from many sources that something be done about the presence in hundreds of stores and semi-public places of machines which operate for as low as a penny and as high as a quarter. Produces Many Protests He produced and showed to the police letters he had received from mothers who wrote that their children were losing, in machines near their school buildings, money they were given for luncheons. He showed letters from mayors of small cities and towns who had found their police forces inadequate to cope with the situation and asked the aid of the state police. Other letters he showed or quoted were from ministers, school superintendents, ju and g.e s, prosecutors, parent-teacher groups and civic organizations who invariably described tty; s|ot machine condition as a menace not only to the morals of the young, but the saiety of all. Some of the letters pointed out that slot machines are the causes of crimes superimposed on them in the form of hi-jacking, armed robberies of slot machines and other crimes against property that in itself is illegal. Drive to Be Sustained Mr. Feeney pointed out to the assembled officers that a great portion of the complaints the state police are asked to investigate are crimes against slot machines and their owners or operators. The Safety Director made it plain to the police that he intended the drive to be continued for the entire year and not to be undertaken merely for a short time and then dropped. Attending the conference also was Ralph Hanna, Deputy Attorney General.

Housewives, Machinist and Farmer Accepted by State, Defense as Hauptmann Goes On Trial. FAMED FLIER ATTENDS SESSION Colonel Sits Near Carpenter Accused of Murdering His Infant Son; Suspect’s Wife Also Present. By United Press FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 2.—Two men and two women sat in the jury box in Flemington's century-old Courthouse today when the first day of the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the murder of the Lindbergh baby was recessed for lunch. They are four of the 12 who will hold in their hands the life or death of Hauptmann. The defendant strode into the courtroom today, neatly shaved, a necktie around his collar for the first time in months. Three minutes after Hauptmann was escorted to his pine chair behind the defense counsel’s table, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, a towering figure in gray, walked past Hauptmann and sat at the prosecution table seven feet away.

MERCURY SOARS UPWARDIN CITY Low Pressure Area in Far Northwest Responsible for Rise. A low barometric pressure area, now centered over the far Northwest, was felt in Indianapolis today as temperatures rose to unseasonable heights and promised to remain there for 24 hours. John Armington, Federal Meteorologist. promised the city would continue to ..enjoy balmy until the depression had passed. The depression, probably originating in the North Pacific where there is a more or less permanent depression, is pushed across the country by collected high pressure areas which move in on it. This one carried prevailing southerly winds. The temperature rose from 14 yesterday at 7 a. m. to 25 today at 7 a. m, and by noon had risen to 41. This afternoon will be quite pleasant, Mr. Armington promised.

Col. Lindbergh did not look at Hauptmann and the prisoner, who is charged with the murder of the aviator’s son, did not look at Col. Lindbergh. The jurors already selected from a panel of 48 look what they are—a typical cross section of the population of Hunterdon County. Charles Walton, a machinist, who lives down the road in High Bridge, N. J., was the first talesman acceptable to both prosecution and defense. The cries of schoolboys and girls, out in a nearby playground, came through the window into the stifling courtroom as lawyers questioned Mr. Walton. He was asked whether he had any children of his own. He said he had four. Mrs. Rosie Pill, who gives her occupation as “housewife,” was the 4>mor 'accepted. She lives over in Caiifon, wears horn-rimmed spectacles and took quite a bit of time trying to make up her mind whether she was opposed to capital punishment. She was sworn in when she finally decided she would vote to send Hauptmann to the electric chair if the evidence indicated he was guilty. Farmer Is Accepted Another housewife, who filled the witness chair, was Mrs. Verna Snyder of Readington. She had p it on her best coat and a gingham dress ppeped out beneath it. Mrs. Snyder became juror No. 3 when she said she guessed her son could get along all right by himself while she was serving. The fourth juror was chosen quickly. He is Charles F. Snyder, a farmer from Clinton Township. Hauptmann sat impassively aa the questioning of the talesmen Went on. His left leg was crossed over his right one, and one brown shoe swung back and forth. For all anybody in the courtroom knew he might have been a spectator. When the luncheon recess was announced, Hauptmann strode toward the rear door ahead of his guards who raced to keep up with him, and smiled faintly as lis ayes met those of his wife who sat throughout the morning session against a radiator on the left side of the room. The mild blue eyes of Mrs. Hauptmann widened slightly and her lips formed a ha If-smile as her husband came into court shackled to an officer. The emphatic confidence with which she has stood by Hauptmann since his arrest on charges of murdering the Lindbergh baby did not waver on the opening day of the trial. Dressed in black, she appeared pale but calm. Watches Husband Intently , Intently, she watched her hus- v band’ -.approach and pass within a few feet of her chair. Quietly she waited for him to see her smile of encouragement. But Bruno Hauptmann glanced neither to the right nor left. He gave no sign of seeing the pale blond woman in black. Her eyes followed him and, after he was seated, she continued her scrutiny by leaning to the light and the left to peer around the head of intervening counsel. Hauptmann’s attire, in contrast to the solemn garb of his wife, was gay. He wore a grayish pepper and salt suit, a deep blue shirt, a navy blue tie. A white silk kerchief with vivid blue-green stripes, such as is the delight of so many foreign Beau Brummells, was placed neatly but at jaunty angle in his left coat pocket. Efforts to select a jury to try Hauptmann were delayed by the prevalence of opinions among prospective jurors regarding the former German machine gunner’s guilt. As each juror, farmers, small sho* keepers and retired busines men—plus a few housewives—took the stand, a staccato of questioning came from the defense Jury Selection Slow “Arp you prejudiced against this defendant because of any.hing you have heard? Have you any young children? Have you formed an opinion?” comprised the chief attack of Edward J. Reilly and C. Lloyd Fisher, Hauptmann's lawyers, (Turn to Page Three)
