‘e ATTORNEYS PREPARE’? HAUPTMANN APPEAL Counsel to Appear Tuesday to Apply for Writ of Error to High Court Trenton, N. J. Feb. 18—(@)— inte maim read and smoked cel e Jersey prison death house Monday, but his attorneys were busy on the outside clearing the way for an appeal from his conviction for the Lindbergh kidnap-killing. Frederick A. Pope, defense counsel, said he would appear—probably Tues- day—before Supreme Court Justice ‘Thomas W. Trenchard to petition the state to bear the expense of printing the trial record. The cost is about $10,000. Hauptmann has sworn a pauper’s oath, and under Jersey statute the trial judge may grant the petition at his discretion. ‘The second step in an appeal, Pope said, will be taken speedily if Justice ‘Trenchard accedes to the request. It will be an application to Chancellor Luther A. Campbell for a writ of eiror to the state supreme court, Pope said he, C. Lioyd Fisher and Egbert Rosecranz, members of the defense staff, may appear Tuesday before the chancellor. Denial of such writs is customaty in order that an appeal may be taken immediately to the court of errors and appeals, the state’s highest tribu- nal. The court meets again in May.

Selby, acting principal keeper. “There's no change in his status. He's a man who doesn’t show his expression outright.” were reports Hauptmann ‘wept soon after being led to his cell. Selby said it was news to him. Selby disclaimed any intention of trying to “break” the prisoner by confining him to a cell six paces from the death chamber. Hauptmann has been given a Bible at his request, but he has not yet asked for a spiritual adviser.

The THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1935 PRESIDENTS PLAN FOR NRA AWAITED Congress Eager to Learn Exe- cutive’s View on Contro- jal Section 7-A Washington, Feb. 18.—(#)—Con- Bress looked for a message from President Roosevelt Monday propos- ing an altered NRA to govern indus- The president framed this long- ‘awaited expression of policy in the midst of contentions by some con- Gressmen and labor leaders that a compulsory 30-hour work week is needed to restore industrial employ- ment to former levels. He was confronted as well by de- mands in the senate for a new in- vestigation of complaints that the Present NRA has fostered monopoly and injured the little business man. One of several points of contro- versy on which the president’s stand was awaited eagerly was section 7-A of the present NRA act, guarantee- ing the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively. There had been indications from officials that the White House would seek to continue this clause. The national labor rela- tions board recently recommended that the collective bargaining ques- tion be “clarified” in the new law. Senator Wagner (D-N.Y.) has said he wants a stronger collective bar- gaining law and it is believed he aims at barring so-called “company unions.” Aside from collective bargaining, the only phases of the present NRA which have been mentioned at the White House as favored on a perma- nent basis are provisions against child labor and the maintenance of mini- mum wages. There have been indications that the president planned to ask that the recovery administration be extended ®@ year beyond June 16, when the Present law expires with authority to continue it still another year if he CATHEDRAL PLAYERS WILL STAGE FARCE ‘The Whole Town's Talking’ Will Present Cast of Well- Known Amateurs "The Whole Town's Talking,” three ‘act farce by John Emerson and Anita Loos, which the Cathedral Players will present-at the Bismarck city auditorium at 8:15 o'clock Wednesday evening, will set the whole town laughing if the predictions made for the play are borne out. Proceeds of the performance will go to the benefit of St. Mary's paroch- fal school, according to the director, Rey. Father Henry Holleman. This farce will be the third offer- ing of the Players, who were organ- ized during the 1934 season under Rev. Father Holleman's directorship. They first gave “The Upper Room” during last Holy Week. This year’s first performance was “The Torch- bearers” and some of the favorites from that play are appearing again in the current vehicle. In the play Henry Simmons, por- trayed by Frederick Monley, wants to marry his daughter to his junior Partner in business. But Chester Binney, the partner, played by Em- mett McCusker, is the kind of a bachelor no woman would want. “He ig such @ blank,” says the daughter, “that every time he comes in it seems that some one has gone out.” Mr. Simmons has e theory that every woman wants the man that every other woman wants and con- ceives the plan of inventing a few love affairs for the unromantic Ches- ter. From a book shop they select at random a few portraits of beauti- ful women. These turn out to be the Queen of Rumania, the Mona Lisa and Letty Lythe, the movie star. Letty is selected an1 the story 1s allowed to leak out. In no time at all the whole town is talking and all the girls are falling for Chester. In the midst of his glory Letty Lythe (Cora Marie Strauss) comes to town accompanied by her husband, who happens to be & prize-fighter. Then trouble starts for poor old Chester but he weathers the storm to win Ethel, who is Catherine Brown in this version, in the end. Only 63 of the 170 members of the 1935 session of the North Carolina general assembly have had previous legislative experience. AIR CRITICS ia our $1,000 contest for a name!
