CHILD LABOR DRIVE FACING OPENING TEST Campaign to Make Indiana 22nd to Ratify Is Launched. (Continued From Page One) bids child labor but it is an enabling act that gives Congress the power to pass laws regulating child employment. Abolished Under NRA Under NRA child labor was ended temporarily through codes which forbade the employment of boys and girls in sweatshops, mines, cotton mills, and thread lactones. Opposition to the amendment has develoix'd in the textile and other industries as well as in agricultural regions. It is pointed out by proponents of Indiana s ratification that the amendment can not be construed as applying to farm labor or household tasks as the courts have held that ‘labor’ carries its common meaning. Wallace Raps Propaganda Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, has declared that the effort to arouse the farmers against the amendment on the ground that farm boys would no longer be permitted to do their chores is 'nonsense.” President Franklin D Roosevelt said of the amendment: *'lt is my desire that the advance, attained through NRA be made permanent. Tn the child labor field the obvious method of maintaining the present gains is through ratification of the Child Labor Amendment. I hope this may be achieved.” A national organization, known as the National Child Labor Committee, headquarters New York City, is aiding the ’.rational campaign for ratification.

there because it was his birthday and Hauptmann laughed at his accent, he said. Later he was forced to admit he had been employed at the Majestic Apartments where Hauptmann had been employed, but denied their employment was concurrent, Ekiward J. Reilly, Hauptmann's chief counsel, was annoyed at the prosecution attack upon Carlstrom. He threatened to produce enough defense witnesses to keep the trial going “into April.” The state planned to press its inquiry into two extremely significant statements made yesterday by Carlstrom, the first that he never had seen Hauptmann in Frederiksen’s bakers before March 1; the second that he denied friendship with Mrs. Hauptmann, who, according to information in the prosecution's hands, was one of Miss Ellerson’s closest friends. Carlstrom testified that he saw a picture, immediately after Hauptmann’s arrest, of Counsellor Reilly with the prisoner. Mr. Reilly did not enter the case until weeks after Hauptmann was arrested. Carlstrom also said he saw Mrs. Hauptmann in the restaurant “four or five times a week.” Mrs. Hauptmann testified that the only nights she was in the Fredericksen bakers were Tuesday and Friday the nights Mrs. Fredericksen did not work. Girl Denies ‘Date’ By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—The New York Daily News in a copyrighted story today quoted Esther Ellison as heatedly denying that she had a “date” with Elvert Carstrom the night the Lindbergh baby was kidnaped. Carlstrom, testifying as an alibi witness for Bruno Richard Hauptman in Flemington yesterday, said he had gone to the Bronx that night to see Miss Ellison and saw Hauptmann in the bakery where Mrs. Hauptmann was employed. He did not actually state he had had a date with Miss Ellison. Miss Ellison, the Daily News said, admitted knowing Carlstrom but stopped seeing him after Christmas of 1931. She described him as a “moody” person. She said she was a good friend of Mrs. Hauptmann. Carlstrom stated from the stand that he knew Mrs. Hauptmann only as a waitress in the bakery where he occasionally dined, and did not know Hauptmann.

USERS BACKERS SHIELDED FROM HEAD OF FIRM Marshall Oberholtzer Heard by Committee: Records Subpenaed. (Continued From Page One) company, he hoped, when and if a contract was signed with the city, to get a pipe line construction contract. Albert Rabb Testifies Albert L. Rabb of Thompson & Rabb. attorneys for the City Utility District since it was created five vears ago. preceded Mr. Oberholtzer on the witness stand. He said, in answer to a direct question from E. Curtis White iD., Indianapolis), committee chairman, that the city had been trying strenuously and unceasingly to finance the purchase of the Citizens Gas Cos. He described futile attempts to get Federal funds, first through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and then ihrough the Public Works Administration. However, the PWA denial was on a technicality that the Indiana congressional delegation failed to clarify by amendment at the last session of Congress, but again is attempting this session. The prospects look bright, he said. Finances Now Available Moreover, private banking interests stand ready now to finance the purchase he said, but the city feels that public financing could be secured at lower interests. Because the entrance of the Users Gas Cos. into the field would make more difficult the financing of the purchase and cause a “franchise to be floating around.” the city was unfriendly to the granting of the franchise, he said. This was especially so. he added, in view of the fact that Users would not make known to the city its backing and the city felt that it could enter into no blind contract without knowledge of the gas supply or financial status of the party of the second part. Mr. Rabb testified that all efforts the city had made to discover the identity of Users backers had been unavailing and added that he had refused to allow Attorney Givan to give him in confidence the identification on the condition he would not make it known to the city. Givan Implication Denied Attorney Rabb said that the city would enter into a contract with a supplying company only after competitive bidding. He denied implications made yesterday by Mr. Givan that former Mayor Reginald Sullinvan. once an attorney for the Citizens Gas Cos. and now a director, had not. during his term of office worked diligently to bring about the purchase by the city of the Citizens. The Senate passed, and the House was expected to pass, a resolution offered oy Senator White giving the gas committee full power of subpena, power to require answers to examination, power to require attendance and power to command presence for inspection of any books or documents.
