All veteran organization | leaders have endorsed the Senate plan Two bills also have been intro- | duced in the House, one calling for | immediate payment in cash and an- other advancing the maturity date of certificates to 1937 and cancel- ing interest on present loans.

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 17.—Gov. |Harold G. Hoffman, who yesterday granted Bruno Hauptmann a 30-day |reprieve from execution which was |originally set for this evening, has jexpressed a desire to question Dr. {Condon regarding his knowledge of | certain phases of the Lindbergh kid- naping. Cause for some of the recent devel- Iopmenls in the case is based on an |article written by Condon in a na- | tional magazine, claimed by the doc- tor to be a version of the case never before revealed by him. In it Dr Condon hints that more than one person was involved in the abduction ;and murder. He says that when the {first telephone call came through to his house from the kidnaper, when he was serving as “go-between,” tha man telephoning spoke in an aside las if relaying the conversation to fa:\other with him. Dr. Condon said |in writing about the telephone con- versation: “Again there was a pause. And again the voice spoke. But this time it did not speak to me. Its tones were dimmer, as a man’s tones dim when he turns his head from the mouthpiece of a phone at which he stands to talk to some one standing near by. “And I realized with sudden shock |that the kidnaper was talking to a companion. For I heard him an- nounce to some one—some third person—the gist of my reply.” CHILDREN BURN " IN HOUSE FIRE MERCED, Cal, Jan. 17.-- Two small sons of Mrs. Henry Stalling burned to death, despite frantic efforts of their mother to save them, when fire swept the Stalling home in Planada this morning. The mother was on her way home from visiting a neighbor when she saw the house ablaze. She darted from room to room of the smoke- filled house but fire, roaring through the dwelling, forced her back.
