J., Jan. 11. —Prolonged consideration by the court of appeals of Bruno Richard Hauptmann’s plea for clemency was ‘accompanied Saturday afternoon by Indications that his trip to the elec- tric chair might be postponed. After nearly four hours of deliker- ation. however, there was no word from behind the court's closed doors as to what it would do or even what it was discussing. » Opinion that the execution might be deferred spread around the capitol after Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, who is Wants to Quis Jafsie question Condon about certain fea- “Jatsie Tells All,” claims to have hitherto undisclosed facts. The governor is especially in- terested in Condon’s views on the question whether Hauptmann had a lbontedmrabe : “Condon goes so far as to write that he knewtwo-of ‘those (in the Lindbergh baby murder),” said the governor. “If Dr. Condon knows these things, I feel the author~ ities. should have the information.” The date of Hauptmann’s execution has been set for next Friday night, but the boat on which Dr. Condon sailed does not dock at Cristobal until that day. It would be impossible, therefore, to hear Condon’s story be- fore the execution date. May Stay Execution Under the law the governor may stay the execution for not longer than 90 days. As the court of pardons, eight men including the governor. went into ses- sion at 10:37 o'clock Saturday morn- ing, they soon found that the crowds in the corridors were making so much noise that it interfered with the hear- ing. The court thereupon adjourned to the chambers of the court of er- Tors and appeals. C. Lloyd Fisher of defense counsel presented Hauptmann’s appeal, the Bronx carpenter having withdrawn several days ago his request for a personal hearing. The state was not formally oppos- (ng the appeal, but Attorney General (Continued on Page Three) AFRAID OF WAR, TWO DIE IN SUICIDE PACT Mother Told Friend She Would Do Anything to Keep Her Son from Army Hamlet Vanishes Into Huge Crater PM ircabcli rth a Mndtahah S| Tiquerres, Colombia, Jan. 11.— (®)—The sole survivor of an earths quake-landslide disaster in the town of La Chorrera arrived here Saturday and told authorities of his experience.

A total of 3,914 persons were grant- ed pensions in 1934, the survey re- vealed, each was entitled to a maxi- mum of $150 yearly, which had it been granted them, would have re- ted in a total expenditure of 100. The comparative chart was part of the survey prepared by the debt and survey of the FERA. Likewise, the chart showed, had each of the pensioners been given that amount allowed them by the county boards, the total would have equalled $507,744. Actually, in 1934 the pensioners received $24,259.14 from the one-tenth of a mill state Average Age Is 74 The average age of each man re- ceiving an old age pension in 1934 was 14.57 years; that of each woman was 1446 of the totel pensions, 1,454 were able to work, 895 required Of 4,597 applications for pensions in 1934, 1,603 were on relief rolls before they applied; applicants denied a pension who subsequently went dn Telief rolls totaled 140.

The plan still must be approved by the Washington authorities before it can be effective in North Dakota. CATCH EXTORTIONIST BY TRACING LUMBER Lindbergh Case Procedure Proves Downfall of Missis- sippi Farmer Jackson, Miss., Jan. 11.—()—Trac- ing of lumber, as in the Lindbergh kidnaping case, was credited Satur- day with frustrating an attempt to extort $5,000 from Governor-elect oan White under threats of killing Forrest Stuckey, 32, son of a farmer, was held in jail here after his arrest Friday at his home. He has pleaded iy. David W. Magee, special agent in charge of the New Orleans office of the bureau of investigation, said Mrs. White, wife of the governor-elect, re- ceived a letter on Dec. 3 directing her to place the money in a wooden “cradle” below a bridge near the Stuckey farm. The “cradle” was sent with the letter. Agents examined the “cradle” on a “tip” and compared it with lumber on the Stuckey farm, and found por- tions there from which planks used to build the “cradle” had been sawed.

Putnam to Distribute Remaining Checks Orders to deliver to the producers all AAA wheat checks, dated prior to Jan. 7, were received here Saturday by County Agent Henry Putnam from Dean H. L. Waster, state head of the agricultural adjustment administra- tion. Putnam said that approximate- ly 300 checks totaling close to $6,000 remain in his possession and will be distributed to the producers if they will call at the office. American Meddling in Sanctions Protested Washington, Jan. 11.—(4)—Protests from Italian-Americans against “our government meddling with European sanctions and embargo policies” are being received in large numbers by President Roosevelt, the state depart- ment and some senators, Thinks AAA’s Death Good Of AAA invalidation, Knox said: “I believe, too, that this decision is one of the best things that could have happened to the American farmer— just as I believe the average American farmer did not look upon the AAA as a solution to his problem. It, more than any other New Deal legislation, threatened the liberties of the Amer- ican farmer.” Turning to unemployment relief, Knox said it was imperative that relief be established on a non-political basis. He recommended that it be returned to the states and cities, where, he said, it would be better administered and at less cost. He also said he was in favor of unemployment and old age insurance under state laws. He declared President Roosevelt should not be given power over ship- ments of American goods to warring nations, an authority the presitient has asked of congress. “We, as a people—all of us—must recover our responsibility for self- maintenance if we are to retain our right of self government,” Knox said.

A survey of retail trade channels Saturday showed pork and flour lead- ing the list of cheaper food staples in Chicago. Similar cost declines were reported from other urban centers, where reports showed lower whole- sale prices in staple lines. City and urban butchers reduced most pork cuts as much as two cents @ pound, in line with lower wholesale quotations since the court's decision Monday. Better grade wholesale pork cuts dropped three to three and one half cents in the past four days and other pork products, notably lard and cured meat, followed. The downward price trend was reported to have extended also to competing meats such as lamb, beef, fish and poultry. Chicago retailers cut flour prices 16 to 28 cents on 24% pound sacks Funeral Held Friday For Richardton Woman Richardton, N.

ACTION GIVES HINT AS T0 WHAT AAAS SUBSTITUTE MAY BE Howard R. Tolley Directs Soil Conservation Study in California PRODUCTION CONTROL SEEN Land Retirement for Raising of Legumes Would Cut Grain Crops Washington, Jan. 11—(7)—Actual ; framing of broad policies to guide a |New farm program began Saturday in a meeting of New Deal and farm leaders. ‘ Secretary Wallace, Chester C. Davie who administered the AAA, Chairman Smith (Dem. 8. C.) of the senate agricultural committee, and Chair- man Jones (Dem. Tex.) of the house agriculture committee, drew chairs up to a conference table with a com- mittee of 13 representing the approxi- mately 100 farm leaders summoned to “advise” the New Deal on an AAA substitute. The conference lasted an hour. Upon leaving, Smith told newsmen “the next farm legislation in my opinion will be permanent and not of an emergency type.” Smith and others attending declined to elaborate on the discussion. The farmers committee was expect- ed to report to the full conference of 100 farm leaders later. No Detailed Draft It was understood the committee report would include only the prin- ciples deemed necessary for a new farm program and not a detailed draft of legislation. It was reported authoritatively that the farm committee had reached an agreement on a program involving the principles of soil conservation, Production control and cash pay- ments of some form to the farmers. A hurry-call to a soil conservation “wizard” to speed across the con- tinent and sit in at a big farm parley here gave a new hint Saturdsy of what AAA's successor may be like; It was learned that Howard R. Tol- ley, described by administrations of- ficials as the “foremost agricultural economist” in the United States, had been called from the west coast to attend the farm conference sum- moned by Secretary Wallace to dis- se plans in the light of AAA’s leath, Former AAA Chief Tolley, now director of the Giannini foundation in California, began last spring a regional planning and soil conservation study which was de- scribed as the most important in the history of the nation. Until last Oc- tober he was assistant AAA admin- istrator. The invitation to him is considered especially significant in view of the fact that President Roosevelt, Secre- tary Wallace and AAA Administrator Chester Davis have emphasized they consider it desirable to proceed to- ward production control through sub- Sidized soil conservation. In the view of several farmers at- tending the session, soil conservation might result in control of production. For instance, they said, a farmer might retire a percentage of his land from commercial crops and plant it to soil-building legumes, receiving government money for so doing, The result, advocates say, would be con- trolled production of commercial crops and sustained prices for them, TRAER FOLLOWS HIS ASSOCIATE IN DEATH Second Major Executive of N.
