GOPHER GOVERNOR * ADDRESSES SOLONS St. Paul, Jan. 9.—(?)—A far-reach- ing cooperative commonwealth pro- gram was boldly handed Wednesday ‘by Governor Floyd B. Olson, Farmer- Labor chieftain, to a conservative- controlled state legislature, in his in- augural message given after being sworn in for a third two-year term. The tall, red-haired governor of Scandinavian descent, recovered from @ recent operation, aggressively de- manded the legislature submit to popular vote a constitutional amend- ment to permit the state to own and operate a power system, and engage in general operation of public utili- ties, packing plants and other key in- dustries. Submitting # $20,000,000 two-year Telief program, one-half to be raised by the state and the other by its sub- |“ divisions to match federal grants, Governor Olson made more than 40 legislative recommendations which followed closely the outline of his party’s platform which declared that “capitalism has failed.” Printing and distribution of free ‘textbooks to school children also was advocated as a state duty by the gov- ernor who proposed that @ uni- cameral legislature be established by constitutional amendment cutting down the present membership of 192 from page one in the two houses.

He said “John” was Hauptmann and that he asked at the first rendezvous: “Will I burn if the baby is dead?” Also, he testified, the man declared: “I am only go-between.” He related that he pleaded with the man, calling upon him to ponder what his mother would think of his actions, and offered to give him an overcoat because his own seemed thin. “He coughed,” said Jafsie. “It was what they call a hollow cough.” Whatever the cough was like, Dr. Condon told the court he didn't want to imitate it. The long interview, he testified, ended with “John” saying ai send the baby's slecping sult. The two of them sat on a bench talked, “John” pretending to be only the emissary for others and express- ing fear the leader “would smack me up,” assuring the aged educator Mrs. Lindbergh would get her baby back. The baby then lay dead in woods near Hopewell. “John” coughed he (Jafsie) remarked to him: “The inroads of pulmonary disease seem to start, let me go over and get you some medicine.” The defense is expected to selze upon.the cough and the remark to bear out a contention that “John” was not Hauptmann but Isidore Fisch, who died of tuberculosis in Germany. Hauptmann claims that Lindbergh ransom money found in his had been given to him for safekeep- ing by Fisch.

FOUR TO TESTIFY IN TRIAL SET FOR U. 8. New York, Jan. 9.—(?)—Four wit- nesses who are to testify in the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann: sailed Wednesday from Europe. The Daily News said one is Henry (Red) Johnson, Norwegian sailor friend of Betty Gow, nurse of the slain Lindbergh baby. Assistant Chief Inspector John J. Sullivan of the New York police admitted Tuesday night that Detec- tive Arthur Johnson would sail for home Wednesday with a witness for the prosecution trial, but he de- clined to reveal the person's identity. The others are defense handwriting experts, chosen because of their familiarity with German script. Detective Johnson has been in Europe for several months in connec- tion with the disappearance of Miss Agnes Tufverson and also to investi- gate the German background of Hauptmann. The News, in a copyrighted story, said Johnson will sail on the liner Nie de France, which is due in New York next Tuesday. He has been living in Oslo, Norway, as Hendrick Finn Johansen, the paper says.
