LINDBERGH TO TESTIFY TODAY IN DEATH TRIAL Flier to Identify Hauptmann as Ransom Taker, Is Report. (Continued From Page One) adjournment Col. Charles A Lindbergh and his wife, Ann Morrow Lindbergh, will have told their stories to the jury. Col. Lindbergh s testimony will be one of the highlights of the tnal. Then, according to a part of the state's evidence which it permitted to get out previously, he will identify the taciturn German carpenter as the man he saw in the shadows the night the ransom was paid who called out to Dr. Condon: “This way. doctor—this way!” After Col. Lindbergh finishes his storv, Mrs. Lindbergh, then the nurse, Miss Gow, will testify. They will substantiate his description of events in the Hopewell home that March night. Col. Lindbergh, still of boyish appearance, always hatless, but always intense, has been for the last 24 hours, from the moment he entered the courtroom escorted by two state troopers, one of the most in- j terested figures in the jammed I Courthouse. He seems to have —and this is. pronounced—a decided penchant for i studying the prisoner, who comes . into court, his head down, his eyes : downcast, and who never looks to ; the right or left. There have been ; times when Col. Lindbergh, standing towering above Hauptmann, within six feet of him, has appeared ; to be boring through his skull with his intense eyes.

150 May Testify After the Lindberghs and their nurse maid will follow a long suc-ces.->ion of witnesses, perhaps 150 in all, who wili attempt to show that it was Bruno Hauptmann, the “man with the flat cheeks and pointed chin” who abducted the sleeping child, killed him, and collected $50,000 for the eturn of a baby he knew never could return. A deputy sheriff brought Hauptmann in and state troopers sat on either side of him behind the defense lawyers’ table. Hauptmann was wearing the same gray-brown suit he had on yesterday, brown shoes and a dark necktie. He was not hander.ffed today. Col. Lindbergh brought a stack of legal documents to court and studied them. His hair was rumpled and he smiled faintly. Once he looked over at Hauptmann sitting seven feet away, and the line of his lips tightened. Mrs. Hauptmann, wearing a black hat with a veil that drops to her nose and a black coat, sat against the rear wall. , Defense attorneys pased an envelope to Hauptmann and he studied a letter written on a letterhead that read: “Success —scientific sales psychology.” On the letter Hauptmann w’as reading was a pencil-drawn sketch that looked like a crude map of the Sourland mountain house from which the Lindbergh baby was kidnaped. Anne Lindbergh Enters The court bustled with excitement as Mrs. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, a slender figure in black, entered the courtroom a half hour after the session began. She was escorted to a seat close by the one occupied by Mrs. Hauptmann. It w-as Mrs. Lindbergh’s first appearance in court. The jury was completed 25 hours after the trial opened, and after les sthan five hours of actual court procedure. As additional deputies were sworn in to guard the jury, Hauptmann turned and gazed at them. His face was impassive—not a muscle of it moved—as he looked at the men and women who hold his life in their hands. His gaze was direct, and he did not again face the bench until the five-minute recess was ordered. Wilentz "egfns Opening Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz. then began the opening statement for the state. “A jury of this county.” he said, ‘‘has returned an indictment charg-

ing that Charles A. Lindbergh Tr. was murdered. “It is the law that if a person is killed in the commission of a burglary, that crime is murder. We are to prove that both the striking of the blow that killed the Lindbergh baby and the death, occurred in this county.” “We will prove to you jurors that the man who killed this curly haired child sits in this courtroom.” Mr. Wilentz whirled and pointed his finger at Hauptmann.

S. at End of November. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.—The steady rise in Government employment. which began in August, 1933, was broken in November when 8196 persons w-ere dropped from the Federal pay roll, Civil Service figures showed today. The number of Federal employes rose steadily from 554.981 on July 31. 1933. to 689.181 on Oct. 31. 1934. a gain in little more than a year of 125.200.

ACTION DELAYED ON DETENTION QUARTERS County Council Meets, but Just Marks Time. County Council met today to consider the purchase of the Celeste Apartments, 402 E. New York-st, as new quarters for the Juvenile Detention Home and Juvenile Court and then didn’t consider the. matter at all. This happened because the County Commisioners, who apparenty have been very anxious to purchase the apartments at considerably more than their assessed value so that they can be remodelled at further expense, neglected to present an ordinance providing for the purchase. John S. Newhouse, newest of their number, said the ordinance already drawn up “is not intelligent.” Two informal huddles between the Commisioners and Council brought wmid that the Council would consider any Juvenile Detention Home ordinance brought before it. This was followed by an announcement from Dow Vorhies, Commissioners p-esident, that he probably would appoint a committee, including Juvenile Judge John Geckler, to study the availability of various sites. Judge Geckler already has expressed disapproval of the Celeste Apartments site, opposition to wT . i has developed among several civic organizations interested in juvenile welfare work.

BOARD STUDIES MILLION-DOLLAR WORKJ’ROJECTS Needed Street, Bridge and Sewer Repairs Listed by Engineer. A list of possible improvements to the streets, bridges and sewers of Indianapolis was submitted to the Works Board at its first meeting yesterday by A. H. Moore, City Engineer. Mr. Moore made it plain that he was not recommending immediate action on these improvements, bui was merely presenting them for consideration. The total cost of the improvements, according to estimates made by the City Engineering Department w : ould run between $1,000,000 and $1,300,000. Many of the city’s bridges are in a bad state of repair and either should be replaced by new structures or restored to good condition, Mr. Moore said. Most important of the suggested new bridges w r ould be one replacing the present structure over Fall Creek at Indiana-av. The cost of anew concrete bridge would be about $270,000, including the cost of land damage and right of way. It is possible, Mr. Moore said, that this bridge might be built by the State Highway Commission with funds from a Federal grant. Bridge Repairs Needed Repairs should be made on the New York-st bridge over White River, Mr. Moore’s report said. This bridge was improperly designed and must be barricaded in time of floods. The necessary repairs would cost about $70,000, an expenditure previous administrations have been unable to make. Anew bridge is needed for Shelby-st over Pleasant Run and the present Sherman-dr bridge over the same stream, which was repaired only recently, should be replaced with anew structure, the report stated. Extensive repairs or new bridges are needed at Vermont-st and Pogue’s Run and at 9th-st and the canal. Both these bridges are now closed to traffic. Street Repair Recommended Street improvements which may be made under the new administration include the widening and resurfacing Alabama-st from Ft. Wayne-av to llth-st; 30th-st from Pennsylvania-st to Fall Creek-blvd; Illinois-st from 34th-st to 38th-st; 16th-st from Delaware-st to Roose-velt-av; Park-av from 17th-st to 21st-st; Rural-st from lOth-st to 25th-st; Ritter-av from Washing - ton-st to Brookville-rd; 49th-stfrom the Monon Railroad to Keystoneav; lOth-st from Dearborn-st to Olney-st; Madison-av from Ray-st to the Pennsylvania Railroad; Union-st from Madison-av to Mc-Carty-st, and from Palmer-st to Adler-st; Kentucky-av from White River to Harding-st; Morris-st from Kentucky-av to Belmont-st and Michigan-st from Blake-st to White River.

Among the thoroughfares which may be resurfaced are Stadium-dr from Indiana-av to Montcalm-st; Indiana-av from Illinois-st to West-st; College-av from 30th-st to 38th-st; Emerson-av from Wash-ington-st to lOth-st, and South-st from 91abama-st to Senate-av. Adler-st may be permanently improved from Union-st to Meridianst. Mr. Moore’s report also stated that some project ought to be begun to take care of the 2800 Federal Emergency Relief Administration workers now employed on flood prevention work at Warfleigh and near City Hospital. Since these projects will be completed in the early spring, it was suggested that work for these men might be created removing dirt from the channel of White River near Kentucky-av for filling in the site of the City Yard on S. West-st. The possibility of resurfacing a number of streets now paved with wood blocks also was mentioned in the report and instances were cited of several city sewers which are in need of repair.

74TH CONGRESS CONVENES WITH SOUTH AT HELM Danger of Radical Legislation Diminishes: Trouble Due on Bonus. (Continued From Page One) of petition in the House has been modified almost to extinction. The rule which permitted 145 representatives to force a vote on any legislation has been abandoned. Hencefo th 278 signatures will be required. House leaders are confident that will enable them to keep their chamber in line with White House policies. The change in rules will not prevent a vote on immediate payment of war veterans’ compensation certificates but Mr. Roosevelt is expected to veto that bill if it reaches him. A review of recovery accomplishments and a general statement of objectives this year will make up the message Mr. Roosevelt will deliver tomorrow. His specific recommendations for legislation will be sent to Congress from time to time in special messages dealing with individual bills. The political lineup of the 74th Congress is: Senate—69 Democrats. 25 Republicans, 1 Farmer-Labor, 1 Progressive. House —322 Democrats, 102 Republicans, 3 Farmer-Labor; 7 Progressives, 1 vacancy. Byrns Urges Liberalism By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Joseph T. Byrns (D., Tenn.) Speaker of the House, in his speech of acceptance today characterized the spirit of the times as progressive and urged his colleagues to move forward with that spirit. Mr. Byrns expressed hope for a session with a minimum of bitterness and pledged himself to preserve the prestige of the House and lead toward true representation of the wishes of the nation. “We live in a progressive age. Time does not march backward. We much march forward with time. We have done so in the last few years. We must contintie to do so if our country is to maintain its present proud place. “There doubtless will be times when some of us disagree as to the proper path. I feel sure, though, that finally we shall all head in the same direction and do so willingly without bitterness or recriminations. Mr. Byrns predicted party harmony during the session. U.
