ATTORNEYS FOR BRUNO WORRIED BY STATE CASE Outwardly Scoffing. Defense Counsel Is Known to Be Concerned. (Continued From Page One) given letter "A” could have been made by only one individual. Other experts will take the letter N ' and others will lecture on the letter X ” All these will contend that no one could have written the letters A ” “N" and “X'' of the ransom notes other than Haup'mann. Defence C Worried A cheery little man who has, been j doing little of the thundering but : more of the legal work for the defense, admitted today that Mr. Osborns testimony was a powerful suggestion that Hauptmann may have had something to do with the extortion. He is Frederiek A, Pop*, and he talked in more than ordinarily serious tones after Mr. Osborn stepped do'vn from the stand. “We villAe able to bring other experts." he said, "who ran poin* out that our client could not possibly have written the notes, but the first man to impress the jury, the first man to have his day in couit. j always, is listened to with respect." The defend' appeared yesterday to have exploded a depth bomb in the states contention that it had traced $49,600 of the $50,000 ransom money to Hauptmann. Decide “Bomb” Is Harmless The prosecution, after a conference last night, decided the bomb was harmless. It said the testimony of Frank J. Wilson, a special investigator for the Internal Revenue i Department, in which he admitted that to his knowledge only -519 000 of the ransom money had been | turned in to the United States, Treasury Department, would be off- ! set by other testimony using) Hauptmann's bank accounts to show where the money went. This much the prosecution revealed. “Every bank in which Haupt- j mann's money was found —was in | close proximity to the firm of j Steiner. Rou>e Cos., where Haupt- j mann had his brokerage account. ! one of which was in the name of Anna Sehoeffler. hi* wife. “Well put in Hauptman's hands at least $49,600 which he can not! account for. and for which he will have the testimony in his own figures,'' the prosecution said. Lost S.ftOO in Market It was known that Hauptmann has claimed, since his arrest, tha he was earning a living through playing the stork market. It is also known that he actually lost approximately S7OOO in stock deals from March, 193?. to the time of his arrest. He had several thou- j sand dollars in stocks, securities and i bank deposits when he was arrested. And he bad two mortgages, with a I fare value of $7500. which have been turned over to his various defense counsel, and which are even now the subject of litigation in New York courts. In addition to that, he says he gave Isidor Fisch. a consumptive friend with whom he was associated in the fur business. $7500 in cash as a loan—the loan which Fisch returned, according to Hauptmann's story, by leaving with him a shoe box full of Lindbergh ransom currency. Wilson hedged to some extent on his story yesterday, by saving that nobody could tell to a penny exactly how much of the ransom money actually was turned into the Treasury. Prosecution Holding Back The prosecution is holding back some of the most vital parts of its '• testimony. As the case stood today, at the convulsion of the eighth day of trial —and always remembering that the ! defer.se has not yet submitted a witness in behalf of the hollow-1 eyed, flat-cheeked prisoner—the I state had presented the following facts: 1. The kidnaping and murder of the child were proved by Col. Charles A Lindbergh, his wife. Anne Monow Lindbergh, nursemaid Betty Gow . Mrs. Oliver Whatel.v. widow of the Lir.dbergh butler, and members of the police forces of Hopewell and New Jersey. 2. The passage of the ransom money was proved by Col. Lind-, brrgh. Dr. John F. Condon (Jafsie). A1 Reich tJafsie's bodyguard*, and Col. Henry C. Breckinridge, friend and legal adviser of Col. Lindbergh. 3. The innocence of Dr. Condon was vigorously established by Col. Breckuiridge. 4. Hauptmann wts identified as a man "in a dirty green car.” seen with a ladder near the Hopewell home of the Lindberghs on the day of the kidnaping, by Amandus Hochmuth, 87. Identified by “Jafsie” 5. The former German machine gunner has been identified by "Jafsie'' as the man who met him in Woodlanw Cemetery and bargained with him for the return of the child: received the package of ransom money from his hands in St. Raymonds Cemetery in the Bronx: told him he had been in th? Lindbergh nursery on the night of t'ne kidnaping and proved it by describing how tne baby's bed was arranged. and how the blankets were fastened down with pins. 6. It has been proved, by a New- i ark police officer, that a man could climb into the Lindbergh nursery! by means of the kidnap ladder found i on the Lindbergh estate, which has not yet beer, admitted by ih* court as evidence. 7. It has been shown that the writer of the ransom notes returned to the Lindberghs sleeping suit, a woolen garment to which thumb guards were attached by ■ identifiable thread, and that he thus proved per sea connection with the kidnaping—and hence the murder. 8 The world's mast noted handwriting expert has compared the series of 14 ransom notes with specimens of Hauptmann's handwriting. obtained first through ordinary channels such as promissory’ notes and aplications for automobile licenses. and. second, through the suggestion of New York and New Jersey police officials. He says they are the work of the same man and that the man is Bruno Richard Hauptmann. 1

'NUISANCE LAW' REPEAL SOUGHT BY GOV. M'NUTT industrial License Law Costs State. Chief Executive Says. The reference in Gov. Paul V McNutt's message to the Indiana General Assembly concerning repeal of the so-called Industrial License Law involves the repeal of a "nuisance law.” The Industrial License Law was enacted in 1911 and amended in 1913 for the licensing of theaters, hotels and any employer who employed more than five workers. Motion picture theaters, for instance. were taxed from $1 to $lO annually on the basis of their seating capacities, the license fee going up by $1 at each jump of 100 from 100 to 1000. Hotels are assessed a room tax on the basis of their capacity. Thirtyroom hotels are charged $1 and hotels with a capacity of 200 or more rooms are charged $lO. The scale on employers also ranges from $1 for persons employing five workers to $lO for employers with 500 persons on the pay roll. The measure never has been anything but a nuisance law, according to Gov. McNutt. It has failed to produce revenue : and actually has cost the state j money in collection. The measure formerly was enforced by the State Industrial Board, but now is under the Gross Income Tax Division. " Although chain store taxes virtually are industrial licensrs. care will be taken not to include them in the repeal measure to be drafted ASSEMBLY LOBBYISTS SLOW TO REGISTER Rush Expected Next Week When Real Work Begins. Lobbyists for the 79th General Assebly, although much in evidence in corridors of the Statehouse, have been slow in registering with the Secretary of State, August Mueller, as required by law. A rush to register is expected early next week when the Legislature gets down to business. The only lobbyist registered yesterday was Samuel Feiwell. representing the Indiana Motor Traffic Association. The only other lobbyists registered are six representatives of the United Mine Workers of America. District 11.

Rural Site Favored for Countv Detention Home 9/ Farms Taken Over on Loan Forfeitures Suggested by Charles Grossart for Juvenile Institution. A Juvenile Detention Home designed on the cottage type plan and located in suburban or rural district was advocated today by Charles A. Gossart. Marion County auditor, and secretary ex-officio of both the County Council and the County Commissioners.

Mr. Grossart said that the County now had approximately 30 small farms in the county which had been taken over because of forfeiture on school fund loans, any one of which might be suitable for a detention home. For the Juvenile Court and Administrative offices of the detention home. Mr. Grossart suggested renting a floor in a downtown office building. “I am opposed to any detention home site in the down-town area, beca ise the children need fresh air and adequate grounds for play.” Mr. Gossart said.

Roosevelt Sides With Van Nuys on Insurance

Senator's Ideas for Social Security to Prevail in Measure. (CoDvrizht, 1975, by UnitPd FiC-ss) WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—President Roosevelt’s recommendations to Congress for job insurance, it appeared today, will disregard the opinion of Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, that employers alone should underwrite the fund. This rift between views of the President and his Cabinet adviser on labor problems was revealed following a White House conference yesterday on proposed social security legislation. The President is known to stand with labor and industry liberals on the sub-committee of experts which advised the Cabinet group that if the insurance tax on industry is 3 per cent on pay rolls, labor should add about 1 per cent of salaries. This view, held by a minority of the sub-committee, is also shared by Senator Frederick Van Nuys (D., Ind.), who has made wide research in this field and was present at the White House meeting. Certain Groups Exempt Senator Van Nuys later said the program, to be drafted in the form of separate bills, will include also old-age pensions, health insurance, maternity benefits and annuities. He believes the job insurance tax will be not more than 5 per cent on pay rolls. High-salaried workers naturally will not share the benefits. Railroad employes have their own pension plan. School teachers, municipal employes, domestic workers in homes and on farms would be exempted, because administrative costs would be too great. One program of economic security proposals, probably with some specific recommendations, will go to Capitol Hill early next week, it was indicated. Congressional leaders promised speedy action. Heated Debate Due Whether the old-age pension figure remains at SSO per month for needy persons past 65. as advised by the experts, or is moved up or down, is certain to be a hotly debated point in Congress. The Administration hopes for uniformity in state laws to prevent employer opposition to the insurance plans. Senator Van Nuys said a 5 per cent tax on pay rolls will increase the cost of finished products 1 cent on each dollar paid by consumers. Proponents of labor contribution to the fund feel the workers should share in the cost and administrative authority to the end that they would assist in policing the distribution of benefits. Raps Relief Costs BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.—Senator Frederick Van Nuys today cited Center Township, Marion County, as a “horrible example” of the rising cost of relief administration. Figures there for the last threeyear period form a perfect argument for unemployment insurance as a protection against direct relief in future depressions, the Senator declared. “Relief administration costs in Center Township have risen from 3 per cent of the total expended to 10 per cent and upward through the shifting of responsiiblity from township trustees to the state relief administration,” Senator Van Nuys charged. “What we need is decentralization right now,” he said. The Hoosier Senator gave out the following: In January. 1933. under trustee's

home and then placed in the crowded down-town detention home. The unfortunate children need an environment in which they can better their situation,” he said. The cottage type plan, which Mr. Grossart suggested, would provide for the construction of several small cottages. Although there would be expense of paying for guards at a suburban detention home. Mr. Grossart said that in his opinion society would be -repaid for reason that such quarters would present a crime deterrent atmosphere. Dow Vorhies, commissioners’ president, soon will appoint a committee to study sites for anew detention home.

Asked directly if he believed the Senator's statement might be another broadside in his political fight against Gov. Paul V. McNutt, Mr. Coy persisted in his refusal to discuss the matter.

PUTNAM NAMED BUTLERPREXY Dean Assumes Presidency of School He Has Served for 25 Years. An acUng president today became an actual president as Dean James W. Putnam assumed the chief administrative post at Butler University. Named permanently to the office, which he had occupied temporarily on three different occasions since 1930, Dean Putnam was elected at a meeting of ;he trustees late yesterday and his selection announced by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell, new Butler director, at a faculty dinner last night. Over the span of a quarter of a century, the new president has been identified with the Fairview school, joining its faculty in 1909, and last serving as its acting president since Oct. 30, 1933, following the dismissal of the late Walter Scott Athearn. Coming to Butler as a professor of economics, Dean Putnam had previously served as an instructor at Illinois College, his alma mater; Northwestern University and the University of Missouri. He began his career as a pedagog as a school teacher at the age of 18, later receiving the master of arts degree from Cornell University and the doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Wisconsin. Trustees attending the dinner last night included Hilton U. Brown, board chairman; Will G. Irwin, Columbus, Ind., and Judge Baltzell. Dr. Henry M. Gelston, English department head, acted as toastmaster and Dean Putnam when presented received a standing tribute from the applauding assembly. ‘•We are all engaged in the furtherance of a common cause,” the new president said, ‘‘and the great future of this institution will be realized if we all stand together and do our parts.” HEAVY RUN OMEELS FILLS ESKIMO LARDERS Alaskan Indians Also Well Supplied With Food for Winter. By United Press NOME. Alaska. Jan. 12.—Alaskan Indians and Eskimos are well-sup-plied with winter food for men and dogs, following one of the greatest runs of eels ever seen in the Yukon River. Tens of millions of the eels forced their way up the stream, under the first thin coating of ice. Natives camped along the great river near Russian Mission and scooped them out with improvised nets. Some were smoked to preserve them, others, frozen solid by low northern temperatures, will keep through the winter. The run lasted for nearly six weeks. Most white Alaskans scorn eels as an inferior type of fish, but their flesh is relished by natives.

4 ARE SLAIN; U HURT IN MEXICO CHURCHMBATTLE 300 of Faithful, Barricaded in Religious Building, Fight Off Police. Bn United Pro* MEXICO CITY, Jan. 12.—Three hundred men, women and children, barricaded in their parish church, sough off police and firemen today in an exchange of gunfire that left four persons dead and 14 wounded. Apparently as part of the dispute between the government and the Roman Catholic Church, police last night expelled a priest from the Church of the Holy Ghost in the suburb of Tacubaya. Parishioners, angered, gathered in front of the church after they heard the news. The rumor spread that Fascist Red Shirts—who killed five churchgoers in a recent riot—were on the way to invade the church. Taking their children with them, men and women of the parish barricaded themselves within the church building. Police Surround Building Polic* reinforcements and then the entire fire department of the suburb surrounded the building. Police said that one of their number was beaten by parishioners and thfct they fired into the air in warning At any rate, firing broke out. There was an exchange of shots between the police and defenders for half an hour. Church partisans stationed themselves on rooftops and stoned the police and firemen. Two tho"cand townspeople gathered around the church. Chief of Police Gonzalez ordered the police to withdraw and they did. Three persons had been killed outright. A fireman, one of the 14 wounded by gunfire, was said by police to have died in hospital, bringing the total to four. Many police and firemen had been injured by stones from the snipers on rooftops. Police fearqd a checkup would show more than four dead. Bystanders Are Struck The 300 police formed a cordon around the church, forcing back the street crowd and isolating the area. The United Press correspondent approached the church and saw in it many women and children. Early this morning the parishioners opened the doors and tried to leave but police forced them to remain, intending to hold them at least until daylight. Some of the victims of the gunfi'e were bystanders, apparently hit by shots from the chu-ch. One of those killed was a man who was sitting in his home across the street from the building.

POLICE AGAIN DROP SLOT MACHINE; FUND TO BENEFIT BY SI.BO

Butter fingers, again! Police last night dropped a slot machine they had taken from the Barton Hotel barroom and collected SI.BO off the sidewalk for the Police Pension Fund.

LA FOLLETTE, 1 OLSON. KINGFISH EYE PRESIDENCY Leaders of Parties to Left of New Deal Await 1936 Call. BY LYLE C. WILSON Vnitrd Trc** Staff Corrr.pondfnt iCopyright. 1935. bv United Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 12—Opposition to President Roosevelt in the 1936 election may come rom any of three political parties which are developing radical programs to the left of the New Deal. Senator Robert M. La Follette, Progressive, Wisconsin. Gov. Floyd B. Olson. FarmerLabor. Minnesota. Senator Huey P. Long, radical Democrat, Louisiana. Long has definitely broken with the Administration after months of bickering. He generally is considered to be a candidate for nomination for President one year from next June. His personal and political affairs are being arranged for the praspective campaign. Gov. Olson and Senator La Follette are more cautious. The Governor has just been inaugurated for another term to which he was elected on a platform which in the preamble proposed that capitalism be abolished in favor of an economic program founded upon Socialism. He lacks majority in both Houses of the Legislature. Federal Ownership Proposed The Farmer-Labor program projects a co-operative commonwealth founded upon socialization of industry. It proposes Government ownership of banks, utilities, insurance companies, and social legislation. Gov. Olson concedes the economic system projected in Minnesota practically would eliminate the incentive to private profit. But he is not yet committing htmsolf to oppose the New Deal. "The possibility of a third party movement depends on what President Roosevelt does.” Gov. Olson told the United Press in an interview just after the New Deal election last November. “People expect him to deliver. If he and the Democrats don’t, the people will take some other means. "I predict an agrarian revolt—a political revolt—in two years (that would be a presidential year) if Mr. Roosevelt fails to give the farmers some kind of equality—parity, cost of production, price fixing, call it what you will.” La Follette Bides Time Senator La Follette is keeping himself in a strategic position where he can buck the New Deal or back it in 1936. He and his brother. Gov. Phil La Follette, organized the Progressive party last year and won the state. Their platform goes beyond the New Deal on some major issues, as follows: 1. Spend $10,000,000,000 or more to provide a job for every person not employed by private initiative. 2. Control credit through a central bank. 3. Government ownership of railroads. 4. Government ownership of the munitions industry. 5. Immediate cash payment of the war veterans' bonus. The Progressives are nearest of the three to the New Deal. Senator Lottg presented his "share the wealth” plan this week to a national audience. He sought national support for it as opposed to the New Deal. It includes a capital levy; a limit Os $1,000,000 on annual income to any individual; a home, automobile and radio for every family; guaranteed employment; assured education; old age pensions; and a debt moratorium. RADIO PERMIT DENIED Application of Hoosier Broadcasting Concern Is Rejected. The Federal Radio Commission has dismissed the application of Hoosier Broadcasting, Inc., for permission to locate a Station in Indianapolis, the Rev. Morris H.
