President Roosevelt, May 14.— (®)—Lou Reichers, Newark, N. J., flier, was aboard my ship Saturday, bound for New York, after a thrilling rescue from a stormy sea last night which ended his attempt to set a new record for a flight from Newark to Paris.

Reichers was suffering from a brok- | en nose and several minor injuries incurred in his landing amid the high waves, He had several cuts on his face. He was brought to the ship by the boat's crew and placed in the care of Ship's-surgeon Mulligan. The fuselage of the plane was dam- aged and one wing cracked up. We were able to salvage neither the life- boat nor the plane. Reichers was forced down, he said, by the damage to the plane and by lack of gaholine.

(Copyright 1932, by The Associated| Kidnap CONGRESS LAUNCHES SPIRITED DRIVE 10 RENEW CONFIDENCE Bi-Partisan Coalition Expected to Speed Revenue Bill Through Senate Washington, May 14.—(#)—Con- gress winds up this week in a spirit- jed drive to complete a stabilizing, jconfidence-breeding program of leg- islation in time for final adjourn- ment before the political conventions. | The new spirit which has mani- fested itself during the week, under spurring words from President Hoov- fer, showed in the senate dominant bi-party coalition which Saturday pushed along the rewritten billion dollar revenue bill. ready to fend off all attacks on its complex tax provi- sions. In the seclusion of committee rooms a group of Democrats worked on plans which should lead to an ac- ceptable all-round plan of federal re- lef, modeled somewhat on the $1,- 500,000,600 compromise evolved by the president and Democratic Leader Robinson. A senatorial economy com- mittee pressed forward its rewriting of the slaughtered house economy bill with the hope of putting through @ bang-up plan for saving more than $200,000,000 in the operation of gov- ernment machinery. Works on Army Bill The house drove hard on the war department appropriation bill, last big money measure of the session, standing by its original economies 60 far despite opposition of high army officials, It refused Friday to strike out a clause that will cut 2,000 offi- cers off the army rolls by retirement. In a new exhortation’ President Hoover called again for unity of ef- fort, and a “win the war” spirit to overcome the national problems. “The imperative and immediate! step is to balance the budget and I/ am sure the government will stay at this job until it is accomplished,” he said, “when our people recover from ‘frozen confidence then our credit machinery will begin to function! once more on a normal basis and/ there will be no need to exercise the emergency powers already vested in ‘any of cur governmental agencies or the further extensions we are pro- posing for the reconstruction corpor- ation.” He emphasized that on the lines laid out for the proposed relief pro- gram, it will not affect the budget, nor the taxpayer, constituting mere- ly a “mobilziation of timid capital,” for economic recovery work. On the tax bill, the pending Cou- zens amendment to hike up the in- come tax rates to the war-time level was marked for defeat along with more than a score of other individual attacks aimed at the revenue raising features. Accepts Smoot’s Plea Chairman Smoot's plea for non- partisan consideration of the billion dollar measure was accepted Satur- lay by Senator Harrison of Mississip- pi, ranking Democrat of the finance committee. “I think the compromise proposed by Secretary Mills and accepted by the committee will stand,” said Harrison. “If we go to changing rates on the floor it is a job that leads inevitably to confusion and shambles. The bill is delicately framed to bring in the revenue necessary to balance the budget. If you cut out revenue in one place you have to raise it in an- other.” Republican and Democratic lead- ers also united behind the move sug- gested by Harrison to shunt the con- troversial tariff items aside for a thrashing out when the tax schedules have been completed. The outcome of the tariff contest is in doubt, but leaders are confident of concluding bach the revenue bill within two weeks. og RRC | Today in Congress | eo ——_—_4 Starting from Newark, N.

J., May 14.—(?)}—Nick- names and descriptions of five men with whom he negotiated on behalf of Colonel Charles Lindbergh for the re- turn of the baby were furnished New Jersey state police by John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk, Va., boat builder, Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, state Police head, announced Saturday. Curtis also described to police a boat which he said the alleged kidnapers were using and through federal agen- cies, cooperating with the New Jersey State police, the coast guard was re- quested to make a search for the ves- sel. Colonel Schwarzkopf said that as yet no report has been received con- cerning the results of the search. The coast guard was furnished with the descriptions of the five men, who were last reported to be on the boat which Curtis described. Schwarzkopf said Curtis still is at Hopewell. A broken shovel reported found near the place where the body was discov- ered, Col. Schwarzkopf said, was given to trooper guards at the scene by Chief Snook of the Hopewell township police, who said it had been given him by occupants of a new York automo- bile parked on the road. It was turned over to a trooper, who Placed it at the base of a tree where it was found this morning. Chief Snook said the occupants of the New York car told him they were Jersey City detectives, but Col. Schwarzkopf said they were recognized as reporters who had been working on the kidnap- ing case. Describes Articles Found The only articles found at the place where the body lay were two artieles of clothing on the body and a burlap bag, the state police head’s statement said. The bag was approximately fifty feet from the body toward the road. State police have gathered up the leaves and surface dirt for a consid- erable radius about where the body lice headquarters in the Lindbergh will be submitted to chemists for analysis and study. Most of the morning state police bulletins dealt with the examination of Morris Rosner and Curtis, two of Col. Lindbergh's intermediaries in the long search for the baby. “A written statement is being tak- Schwarzkopf reported. “Nothing in any way connecting him with the kid- questioning. His activities apparently were confined to endeavoring to make contact which would assist the family in contacting the actual kidnapers.” Rosner, appointed as intermediary by Col.

Pre- sumably this statement, and the basis Curtis was with Col.

Walker Saturday gave a signal that started his “beer for taxation” par- ade down Fifth Avenue. A bright sun shone down on the marchers as the parade, expected to continue all day and well into the night, got under way. At the head of the procession marched the may- or, dressed in formal morning attire which included striped trousers, black coat and black derby. Police estimated that more than 5,000 persons gathered at the starting point. The crowd cheered the mayor, and a woman on the sidelines shout- ed “we're for you all the time.” Marching with the mayor as vice- chairmen of the parade committee were Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Mrs. William McVicker, Mrs. Malcolm) Meacham, Edward E.

J., May 14.—(?)—The detective brains of a nation concen- trated Saturday on a prime dilemma in the Lindbergh murder mystery. Was the $50,000 ransom collected by the actual murderers in a goulish swindle plot, or was it collected by racketeers seeking to cash in, like Parasites of crime, on an act com- mitted by someone else? It centered about a baby’s sleeping suit, two safety pins and an illiterate note signed by a strange symbol. Friday the tide of opinion seemed to be swinging to the theory the mur- derers got the money, but Friday night and later Saturday doubts crept in again. The authorities were trying to de- termine whether the cabalistic ran- som note left in the nursery when Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was stolen, could have got into the hands, soon after the kidnaping, of any person save Col. Lindbergh and those work- ing with him. Morris Rosner, mysterious “under- cover man” for Col. Lindbergh in his attempts to negotiate with the kid- napers, came to Hopewell for ques- tioning. Rosner was said to have re- ceived the ransom note, which he took to New York. From the note, it was asserted, tracings were made for the use of Salvatore Spitale and Irving Bitz, also chosen by the Lindberghs to deal with the underworld.

J.. May 14—()—A baby’s ashes in a simple urn rested Saturday in a crematory chapel, the solemn symbol of human helplessness when madmen roam free. These were the ashes of the Lind- bergh baby; the body of a murdered child reduced to a tiny pile of dust by cremation In the lonesome Sourland Hills home Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh lay ill. For more than two months her fortitude has been remarkable. Last night a physician ordered her to bed. The baby’s father was near ex- haustion. He had been long without sleep, save the tortured slumber of a parent who had lived 72 days on the brink of an emotional chasm. Yesterday was his black Friday. His baby—his heir and namesake, in whose veins had run the blood of statesmen and of great adventurers —had been taken in a simple casket to Rosehill cemetery, Linden. Three colonels had stood there in the crematory chapel. One wore the colonelcy of law— Norman Schwarzkopf, superintendent of the state police of New Jersey, commander fo the forces charged with responsibility for bringing to justice the murderer of Charles Lind- bergh, Jr. Lindbergh Nerve-Worn One was a colonel of the great war —of France, of the A.
