A victory today in the fight over the | permanent chairmanship of the conven- tion appeared essential if the Roosevelt forces are to be rallied. A defeat there | would give Roosevelt a terrific setback. Another fight which the Roosevelt | peaple face today is over the report of the Credentials Committee, where the | Louisiana delegation, headed by Senator iHuey Long, faces a contest on the floor | ot the convention. Long has been tied in with the Roosevelt faction. If he should lose, and the convention should not seat him and his delegation, it would be another marker against the New York Governor's candidacy.

Shortly after the House convened at | noon Speaker Garner laid before It | for unanimous consent the resolution | which the Senate had adopted late yes- terday requesting the return of all the papers _connected with the economy | bill. Representative Cochran, Demo- | crat, of Missouri, one of the House con- | ferees, shouted his objection. Other voices were heard on the Republican side. Sensing the defeat of the purpose, Chairman Byrns of the Appropriations Committee immediately moved that the request be complied with and called for | the previous question which cut off all | debate. | Protests from members were voiced, | but Byrns contended that the motion was undebatable. It was agreed to by a loud chorus of “ayes,” which drowned out a fleebler but insistent cry of “nay.” | With the motion disposed of, dis- appointed House members who were | anxious to have the conference report brought up for another vote in the House sprang to their feet to voice their objections. La Guardia Voices Protest. Representative La Guardia, Repub- | | lican, of New York, excitedly declared that “this conference report has been | rammed down our throats.” He pro- tested that the bill as revised in con- ference was “an unsclentific measure” and that the House should have another opportunity to vote its views. Joining in_criticism of the action taken, Cochran warned that Controller General McCarl had indicated he would give rulings under the furlough and other provisions of the bill which would not carry out the wishes as expressed by the House. “It is the duty of this House to ad- | just all the differences in the bill,” he added. “The House should be given another chance to vote.” He indignantly criticized Mr. Byrns for making the motion to sead the bill back to the Senate without giving members a chance to be heard against the motion.

FLEMINGTON, N. J., June 28.—Col. Charles A. Lindberg testified today that the activities of John Hughes Curtis bad impeded both his own and police efforts to trace the kidnap-murderers of the Lindberg baby. “1 don't believe Mr, Curtis ever had contact with the kidnapers,” Col. Lind- bergh said under cross-examination, “but I did believe it at the time.” Speaking of the $50,000 ransom pald for him in a Bronx cemetery to a mys- terious “John” by Dr. John F. Condon, Col. Lindbergh said the police were not given an opportunity to surround the spot where the money was paid. Details Kept Secret. He said the police knew the money was to be paid but that only he, Dr. Condon, and a few others knew the exact time and place in advance. Col. Lindbergh was followed to the stand by Edmund Bruce of , N. Y, a friend of Curtis. “I was interested primarily in the return of the child andapprehension of the criminals afterward,” Col. Lind- bergh said in telling that the police had not been invited to the rendezvous where the futile ransom was paid. Under cross-examination this after- | noon he said Curtis' story of having | seen some of the ransom bills paid by Dr. Condon in the hands of the alleged kidnapers he was dealing with caused Lindbergh practically to sever com- munications with Dr. Condon. He said Dr. Condon represented “the most important thing we have now " Attention Held Diverted. Col. Lindbergh was not specific as to just how Curtis may have impeded the police investigation. “Please state what clue was being run down when Curtis appeared and was then abandoned,” he was asked by De- | fense Attorney Lloyd Fisher. “I had no personal knowledge of this," Lindbergh replied. “I don't know of any particular investigation discontinued, but I know the attention of the authorities was diverted to a certain extent.” Lindbergh told of Rear Admiral Guy W.

Means introduced to her as one of the Lindbergh baby kidnapers, Whitaker, who was located in Brook- Iyn after an intensive Nation-wide in- vestigation by special agents of the United States Bureau of Iffvestigation, will be brought back to Washington to face a trial expected to prove a color= ful sequel to the sensational prosecu- tion of Means, who was convicted of defrauding Mrs. McLean of $104,000 in a fake plan to return the Lindbergh baby. Means is in the District Jail, pending appeal. Direct Evidence Lacking. There is no evidence, it is understood, that Whitaker received any of the money turned over by Mrs. McLean to Means for ransom purposes, nor that he actually had any connection with the abduction and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, jr. ‘Whitaker, however, is alleged to be the mysterious “gangster” with the assumed name, “Neil Williams," to whom Means was authorized by Mrs. McLean to turn over $100,006 in ex- change for the Lindbergh child. A note containing such authorization was in- troduced at the trial of Means. There was some intimation from Means' attorneys at his trial that “The Fox"” might also have been the “No. 11" agent to whom Yfeans said he gave the $100,000 at Alexandria. The sug- gestion was that perhaps “The Fox” had.“hi-jacked” the money from Means. Mrs. McLean in New ¥ork. Mrs. McLean was in New York in night of as the “despera tive who conferred with N.

The investigation which led to the arrest was under supervision of J. Edgar Hoo- ver, director of the bureau. Whitaker, who served two years in Leavenworth Penitentiary for violation of the Federal motor vehicle theft act, and who has been sentenced to another three-year term on a similar charge, was taken in Brooklyn at 10 o'clock last night with the co-operation of New York police. He was held overnight at the field office of the Bureau of Investi- gation and the arrest did not become known in New York until this morning.
