ADVERSE RULING IN GOLD CASE 10 SEE SUBSTITUTE. PLAN Senators Discuss Legislation to Avoid Ruin If Court Up- holds Complaint ‘Washington, Jan. 12.—(P)—Just in case the supreme court should rule against the government in the mo- mentous gold clause case, some sen- ators are discussing legislative plans to avoid what one leading advocate of a cheaper dollar called the “ruina- tion of everything.” “There has been discussion and un- doubtedly a program will be ready,” éaid Seantor Thomas (Dem., Olka.), but he quickly added: “We have every confidence the su- preme court will sustain the adminis- tration and the congress. An adverse decision would have such a wide- spread effect it would ruin every- thing.” Thomas told newspapermen that one idea under tentative discussion, of which he was not the author, would provide for increasing the membership of the supreme court by two or three to make more certain the program would “get a New Deal.” A prominent member of the banking committee, however, took the stand that this would not be the way to meet the situation. He added that the committee had not discussed the im- Pending decision. Billions at Stake Upor the decision hangs the fate of the New Deal monetary program and the question of whether there shall be an increase of some $69,000,- 000,000 in private and public debts. After Chief Justice Hughes had asked further questions about the govern- ments’ rights in relation to contracts, the court heard final arguments Fri- day in the last of five gold cases. The complainants challenge the government's power to abrogate clauses for calling for payment in gold or its equivalent. In brief, the ques- tion is whether a $1,000 gold security should be worth $1,690 in the new, Gevalued currency, or just $1,000. The verdict cannot come before February 4, according to those fa- miliar with the procedure of the high- est tribunal. Attorney General Cummings closed arguments Friday with a suggestion the court might want to order a re- | {Weather Report | —.

Twice the score was tied at 6-6 in the first end 31-31 in the second half. With eight minutes to play and the scored tied at 31-31, Minton, Ellendale star forward, dropped in three field goals and a gift shot to place Ellen- ale seven points in the lead, Baggen- stoss, guard, and Doering, center, combined to pick up four points for Dickinson and Ackert of Ellendale dropped in a free shot to give Ellen- dale its last point.

Flying at altitudes ranging to 8,000 feet she estimated at the end of five hours 35 minutes she had covered a thousand miles—equal to 182 miles an hour. The greatest worry they felt—the “they” including Miss Earhart's hus- band, George Palmer Putnam, New York publisher—was over the takeoff on muddy Wheeler Field, made sod- den by a tropical downpour of the sort not uncommon in Hawali at this ‘season, The plane already had been filled with 522 gallons of gasoline and per- mission had been obtained from the Wheeler Field commandant, Maj. Hots Clark, for a takeoff with that loa Take-off Perilous Then came the torrential rain, and it looked like the trim monoplane would rest until at least Sunday in a Wheeler hangar. More of those who had come to the field expecting to see the takeoff on a “test” filght which might prove to be @ trans-Pacific hop drifted away. Even Putnam left. Then about 4:20 P. m. the situation suddenly . Mechanics came to life, wheeled out the plane, blocked the wheels, turned over the motor. Ina few seconds it was purring contentedly. Chief Justice Hughes, who on & previous occasion had asked by what constitutional authority the .governr ment altered a contract once it had entered into it, put this question Fri- “You are not saying that in inter- national law a government can repu- diate its contracts and refuse to pay what it borrows, that its contracts | would not be enforceable by courts | of arbitration or courts of interna-| tional law?” Angus McLean, assistant solicitor general, replied the government had tem, unrestricted by private con- tracts, Re Cere® Defense to Claim Fisch Was Writer Of Ransom Notes mann’s arrest, another of the Lind eh bills was located in Gettysburg, ; It was paid by Mervin E.

To Refuic Ladder Evidence Wood experts planned to examine the kidnap ladder to develop a refuta- |pin in the state’s array of expert: 7 wood to the attic of Hauptmann’s Bronx home, and to a lumber yard} where he once worked. The ladder, however, was tempor- arily out of the trial spotlight after the defense balked prosecution moves to have it admitted as evidence. Hand- writing was the big topic and promised to be for the first half of next week. Albert 8. Osborn, the veteran king: opened the handwriting case against Hauptmann, naming him the ransom note writer as the state started Fri- day to develop this line of evidence. Former Judge George K. Large, a| special assistant attorney general on; the prosecution staff, said, “Osborn laid the foundation for his conclusions and demonstrated they were correct. The jury was greatly interested. “He made an excellent, convincing and satisfying witness. His compari- sons were excellent and he conclusive- ly proved that Hauptmann had writ- | ten all of the ransom notes and all of the other specimens of writing.” Hits Osborn's Testimony Frederick A. Pope, a member of the e counsel, said of Osborn’s testi- “It was a wonderful, long lec- ture on something we know nothing about, consisting of a lot of chalk marks and ink marks from some of the letters.” Osborn, white of hair and mustache, was methodical in his procedure, first he told the jury that all 14 ransom notes were doubtless written by the same persons, and that that person was Hauptmann. His examination of the ransom notes, he said, convinced him “they were connected with each other, in my opinion, by the language contained in them, the uso of words, spelling— Peculiar spelling, by the statement in tion of state testimony tracing the SIDE GLANCES aFLSRRSANSSESSSSEE LTS SF SeRSSS SESSRSSTE SOBSENS SSG. anbbie BEBELSEBEERNe LESS B ebbs SEREEE Ses PRBEBR EES XN -* George Clark | the later letters of the amount of lady.
