SEARCH EflNTINUESi g e INUNDBERGH st Investigators Have Not Drop- ped Probe of Kidnaping and Murder. By the Associated Press. TRENTON, N. J., February 28—An international man hunt for the kid- napers and murderers of Charles Augus- tus Lindbergh, jr., never relaxed, went on today, one year after he was stolen from his’ crib. Begun March 1, 1932, when the 21- month-old son of the famous flyer was abducted, intensified on May 12 when his body’ was found in bleak Sourland Hills, the search has been relentlessly pursued. Months ago President Hoover ad- monished law-enforcement agencies to make the case “a live and never-to-be- forgotten” one, His admonition has been followed. At the year's end investigators had nothing they were willing to report. For six months they have maintained silence. Meanwhile, & $25,000 reward for in- formation leading to the arrest and con- ' viction of the kidnapers, offered by Ne:. Jersey after the baby’s body was found, still stands. Much Has Happened Since. Much has happened since that raw March night when a three-piece ladder was placed alongside the nursery win- dow of the Lindbergh's Hopewell moun- tain home and the baby carried away. .An ever-hopeful father paid a $50,000 ransom in vain, searched land and sea, only to be summoned home—when he hoped success was near—to identify a body a colored man found as that of his_child, The man who led him to sea, John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk boat builder, was convicted of impeding the search, sen- tenced to a year in State's prison_and fined $1,000." The jail term was later suspended. Violet Sharpe, a maid in the home of Mrs. Dwight Whitney Morrow at Engle- wood, Mrs. Lindbergh's mother, com- mitted suicide after questioning. A new baby, Jon Morrow, was born last August. Before he was 5 months old threats of kidnaping were made. ‘Two youths, charged with attempted extortion, were arrested in Virginia. From Scranton, Pa. came a letter de- manding $50,000 on threat of abduction: from Chicago came a warning to “watch your child.” New investigations opened Tfor the police. Home Still Guarded. There is no longer the freedom of country life on Sourland Mountain. The entrance to the lane leading to the big white stone house is guarded night and dav by State police. They have maintained duty there since March 1 The curious, who first thronged by the thousands to Hopewell, still drive up the winding mountain road just to single out, frcm a mile away, the Lind- bergh home, standing alone on Jersey's u;:r;ld h!ghesthmoumamtop. olice see that they get no nearer, although the Lmdbergh'g most of t;re time are not at home. They are staying at the Morrow estate in Englewood. Ool. Lindbergh is back at his work as a technical advisor to an aviation com- pany and again traveling the air lines. But at home and abroad the search for those responsible for his tragedy goes on—“never to be relaxed,” the President of the United States said, “until the criminals are implacably brought to justice.” REPEAL ELECTION IN LOUISIANA VOID State Supreme Court Rules Power to End Dry Law Rests With Legislature Alone. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, February 28—The | Louisiana Supreme Court held yesterday that the State pronibition law, known as the Hood act of 1921, could be re- pealed only by the State Legislature. The State’s high court declared un- constitutional the referendum of the electorate last November, in which re- peal of the Hood act was voted by a large majority. Action of the Supreme Court was in & test case in which it affirmed the Dis- trict Court of Caddo Parish in convict- ing and sentencing Hubert Wadkins to pay a fine of $100 and serve 30 days in jail for violation of the State prohibi- tion law. Attorneys for Wadkins contended he had violated the State law after it had been repealed, but the district attorney brought the case to the Supreme Court on the contention that the referendum repeal was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court held with the Jower court that the State Legislature had no authority to delegate its repeal ower to the electorate. Abbe Audiffren .

CLEVELAND, February 28.—Every possible means must be adopted to safeguard the vast number of investors who furnish capital to industry, in the opinion of Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, in order that the return to normal condi- tiofis can be assured. Speaking before the Cleveland Cham- ber of Commerce here today, Mr. Whit- ney deplored the “ephemeral prophets” of by-gone “boom” days, urged better corporation reports, stricter accounting practices and uniform laws relating to the issuance of securities and the for- mation of new corporations. He pointed out that “we shall need all of our wisdom and all of our cour- age” in solving the existing economic problems, “In sgllte of present discourage- ments,” he said, “we must remember that the depression has not paralyzed scientific progress nor halted inven- tion. New products and new services are at this very moment awaiting the return of economic equilibrium and a new flow of investment funds into the productive effort of men’s brains and hands. “Thrift and private investment are not. therefore, simply a phrase of our past—they are an imperative need now ditions in the wood pulp industry here | and for the futufe, and they must be and abroad was begun today by the Tariff Commission under a Senate resolution. ‘The commission is without rate-fix- ing jurisdiction over the commodities involved because they are on the free list, but its data will be compiled for the information of Congress and the President. ‘The investigation will deal partic- ularly with pulp timber, pulp wood and mechanical and chemical pulp produced in Canada, Sweden, Finland and Norway. The commission was in- structed to base its cost of produc- tion findings on the values of United States currency used in the payment of labor and other costs. Domestic producers in many parts of the country have complained of in- | creased imports of wood pulp, asserting the chief exporting countries have had an advantage because of depreciated currences.

Edward A. Kelley, counsel for Beck, is allowed 40 days in which to present tes- timony for Beck on charges made by Shanahan that the Republican holds his seat by illegal election. However, Kelley indicated today he would offer no defense. “If this were a case at law, I should make a move to have the thing thrown out, for no case has been presented by Mr. Shanahan which would hold in a court of law,” Kelley sald. “For that reason, I am thinking of offering no testimony for Mr. Beck.” Counsel for Shanahan brought out testimony seeking to show illegal regis- tration in several wards in the second district, from where Beck was elected.
