There is still some talk among some Democrats, as well as Republicans, that Con- gress should choose specifi¢ projects on which the money is to.be spent.instead of giv- ing the four billion dollars to the President in a lump sum to be allotted as he sees fit. Meanwhile s o m e Western P ro gressives expressed the belief that the four billion dollars will not be enough.

J., Jan. 8.—The ladder used by the kidnaper who abducted Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., which is one of the most im- portant exhibits in the case at point of issue when the fifth day of the Bruno Rich- ard Hauptmann trial was re- sumed this morning, rested against the wall in the court room near the witness chair. Above the ladder were charts of the Lindbregh home and area around Hopewell, .. The State is fighting to have the ladder accepted as evidence and the defense is determined to keep it out. Hauptmann came mto court this morning in his most cheerful mood since the trial began. After listening to the first testi- mony regaring the ladder, Haupt- mann turned to his guard and said: “If I made that ladder I would be a second rate carpenter.” Hauptmann smiled as witnesses described the ladder. He ate heart- ily this morning and slept soundly 'ast night. v Queen Wilhelmina and Juliana ° 'With the éxeitement over the marriage of the Duke of Kent and :Princeu Marina dying down, European court circles again are buzzing with speculation over a husband for Crown Princess Juliana of Holland. Now 25, Juliana has been rumored engaged to numer-, "oun nobles, but nothing has come of them. Patriotic Hollanders believe that the future of the present government depends on Mm‘n marriage, for if she were to die childless, it is feared the o old Dutch republic would be restored. Bill to Be Introduced in Congress Changing General Election Date to October By HERBERT PLUMMER ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-—When Senator Norris of Nebraska saw his “lame duck” amendment be come a part of the constitution, he dismissed the subject promptly and turned to other things. He had succeeded in having C meet within 41 days after eneral election—for the first time Defense Plans Chief Defense Counsel Edward J.

Apparently, however, Norris' job is not yet completed. At leas that’'s what one of the foremost constitutional lawyers in Congres: thinks. He is Representative Sumner of Texas, Chairman of the House Judicial Committee. And Sumner has prepared a bill for introduc tion in Congress to prove it. ELECTIONS IN OCTOBER? It's all very complicated—Sum proof. For example, his bill ads like this A bill to change (he time of thy appointment of Presidential ele tors: That Section 131 of the Re- vised Statutes (USC. title 3 sec. 1) is amended to read as fol- lows: Sec. 131. The electors o© President and Vice President shal be appointed, in each state, on Tuesday after the first Monday in October, in every fourth year suc- ceeding every election, etc. et al” All of which merely means tha Sumners is attempting to change the date of general elections from November to October. / He has worked out an elaborate chart—a sort of moveable calenda: —starting with the next presidential election year and going as far intc the future as 1972-73. This chart—scaled almost to an hour—traces over a period of 36 years the time that presidential electors will be appointed, to the number of days between their ap- pointment and meeting, to the number of days between their meeting and the dispatching of a messenger to Congress, to the number of days from the time the messenger arrives in Washington and to the hour that Congress " (Continued oL Page Sevew Hauptmann Identificd Hauptmann was identified twice lay by witnesses, mandus Hochmu Lindbergh ne fled Hauptmann a in his car k home on the crime.
