Described by Witness. OFFICER DENIES FINGERPRINTS Methods of Police Criticized by Defense. | (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) FLEMINGTON, N. J., January 8.— An aged former neighbor of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh pointed a palsied finger at the accused Bruno Richard Hauptmann today and declared he saw him near the Lindbergh home on | the day Charles Augustus Lindbergh, | jr.. was stolen from his crib and slain. | The witness, Amandus Hochmuth, | 87, positively identified Hauptmann as a man in a dirty green automobile | who passed his home on March 1./ 1932, turned into the Lindbergh road | and “glared at me as if he saw a| ghost!” | He also said he saw “some of the | ladder in the car.” | The melodramatic surprise—height- ened by the extinguishing of the court room lights just as the old man first pointed accusingly at Hauptmann— was sandwiched between two other| high lights of ghe morning session. The State failed in its second at- tempt to get the ladder down which it contends the baby was carried to its | death into evidence, and the defense pursued a vigorous attack upon the efficiency of the New Jersey police after two State troopers testified they could find no fingerprints in the Lind- bergh nursery. on the iadder or on the ransom note which Lindbergh found on the nursery window sill. Blocked as Evidence. The defense successfully blocked the ladder from evidence on the ground that it had not been properly identi- fied. The court ruled, however, that the ladder could pe again offered into evidence after more identification tes- timony about it had been presented. Hockmuth, who turned out to be the mysterious old man who paced the jail in front of Hauptmann’s cell several weeks ago, electrified the packed court when he gave his testi- mony. And there was a gasp when he stepped down from the stand and gingerly touched the Bronx carpenter with his hand. Hauptmann rolled his head nega- tively back and forth. The old man testified he was stand- ing on the porch of his home in the forenoon on March 1, 1932. His home, he explained, was on the main high- way intersection with the lane that runs to the Lindbergh place in Hope- well. “Well,” he said, “I saw a car coming around the corner, pretty good speed, | and I expected it to turn over on | the ditch. And as the car was about | 25—1 should judge about 25 feet away from me, the man in there looked out of the window like this—"" He turned his head toward the jury to show them how. “——and he glared at me as if he saw a ghost.” Prisoner Identified. Queried Attorney General David T. Wilentz: “And the man that you saw looking out of that automobile glaring at you in the manner that you say, is he in this room?” . “Yes,” Hochmuth said. “Where is he?” ‘The witness raised a shaking arm, pointed a finger. “Alongside the trooper there!” ‘The lights went out with Hoch- muth’s finger still pointed at Bruno Hauptmann. There was objection from the de- fense as the State invited the witpess | to step down and lay a hand on'the defendant's shoulder. It was quickly straightened out and the old man ambled directly toward Hauptmann, his right arm extended. Spectators leaned forward, held their breath. The old man lightly touched Hauptmann's shoulder, and quickly withdrew his hand. The spectators drew breath in unison. The defense couldn't shake the identification. Boomed Edward J. Reilly, chief of Hauptmann's staff: “Did that State trooper point out Bruno Richard Hauptmann to you as he sat in his seat?” The old man's answer had all the spirit that 87 years could muster, “No!" it was.

JOY RULING ROME ON FRENCH PACTS Mussolini Bids Farewell to Laval at Station—Ac- cords Listed. By the Associated Press. ROME, January 8 —With an agree- ment signed by Premier Mussolini in his portmanteau, Pierre Laval, French foreign minister, started back for France today. Both Mussolini and Laval smiled broadly as they stood in the railroad station. Their smiles were repre- sentative of the joy that reigns in Rome over the signing yesterday of the Franco-Italian accord. The two foreign ministers—for Il Duce is not only premier of Italy but foreign minister as well—talked cor- | dially for five minutes before the train departed. Il1 Duce gave Mlle. Josee Laval a bouquet of pink orchids. Shakes Hands With Duce. Laval shook hands with Mussolini and Fulvio Suvich, undersecretary of foreign affairs. As the train pulled out of the sta- tion the French statesman stood on its steps, waving his hat while Musso- lini waved back. Before Laval left his hotel this morning he received the ministers of the Little Entente—Yugoslavia, Czech- oslavia and Rumania—and of Austria and gave them the latest information on the non-interference pact he and Mussolini devised and which now will be submitted to their governments for approval. All these ministers went to the statién to see him off. Agreements Summarized. The agreements the two statesmen reached during their conversations {ure may now be summed up as fol- owsS: 1. A pact of consultation—by this accord France and Italy are to con- sult each other whenever any ques- tion in European interest arises. Although both Laval and Mussolini specifically stated in speeches yester- day.that their pacts were not di- rected against any one, this consulta- tive pact particularly affects Ger- many. It is in this pact that the independence of Austria is mentioned, France and Italy agreeing to consult each other regarding what action they are to take whenever Austrian inde- pendence may be menaced. 2. A pact of non-intervention—this is to be signed by Austria and her neighbor states.

By the Associated Press. | ritory, January 8.—Led by 73-year-old | Katherina Oberst of Los Angeles, 380 American Saarlanders arrived today to vote in next Sunday’s plebiscite. Defying the Plebiscite Commission’s order against mass demonstrations, the Nazi German front gathered 15,000 | enthusiasts at the railway station to | give the Americans a rousing welcome. |~ Of the 380, about 300 are eligible to { vote. They entered the Saar Basin | Territory from Germany, where they were feted in Berlin and Hamburg. Served Coffee in Cafe. The Americans carried their suit- cases for a half-mile through a solid line of Saarlanders singing “Deutsch- land Uber Alles” and with their arms raised in the Nazi salute. The Americans walked from the station to a cafe where coffee was served and then were taken in auto- mobiles to the homes where they are to stay. ‘Ten commandments to force im- petuous Hitlerites into iron-bound silence during the January 13 plebis- cite, thus avoiding wholesale disquali- fication of voters, were laid dewn by Nazi leaders. The German Front, Nazi organiza- tion, alarmed by the disqualification in the preliminary vote yesterday of an old woman for remarking, “I was born a German and will die a Ger- man,” announced the regulations. “Heil Hitler” Banned. The first commandment is “Do not say 'Heil Hitler.’” This phrase cost hundreds of public servants their bal- lots yesterday, under the rigid regu- lations laid down by the government commission for the conduct of the Pplebiscite. Another warns against speaking when entering the voting booth and the last enjoins a quick and silent de- parture after the ballot is cast. Strict adherence to election techni- calities, such as marking and folding the ballots, was stressed in the other seven orders. If the Nazi voters obey. the Sunday balloting will see the most silent pro- cession of Hitlerites since the Reichs- fuehrer attained dorainance. e GUARDS SLAY FRIEND Follow Orders to Always “Shoot to Kill.” MADRID, January 8 (P)—A squad of assault guards today fired on “a certain automobile” when its driver, instead of obeying orders to halt, waved a friendly greeting to the squad.

AGRICULTURAL PROGRAM BELIEVED ENDANGERED New Legislation Is Being Dis- cussed—Fair Competition Not Declared Questioned. By the Associated Press. The New Deal, deprived of a por- jtion of N. R. A. which the Supreme Court tossed out of the window as un- constitutional, still strove today to keep the Federal lid on “hot oil.” At the same time the belief was ex- pressed in one quarter on Capitol Hill that the high tribunal’s act in scrap- ping an oil control provision in the national industrial recovery act spelled the doom of some other New Deal legislation. Senator Adams, Democrat, of Colo- rado said some of the laws behind the Government's agricultural program contained provisions similar to the oil control features which the Supreme ‘Coun killed on the ground Congress !has delegated too much law-making '))ower to the President. “We have gone the whole way in these delegations,” said Adams. *“It can hardly be expected that the courts 'will uphold all the delegations Con- | gress attempted.

The section scrapped by an 8-to-1 decision was 9C, under which Government has been undertaking to bar from interstate commerce oil pro- duced in excess of quotas fixed by State agencies. This petroleum known as “hot oil.” Secretary Ickes, oil administrator, noted that the decision “did not rule on the oil code,” embodied in other parts of N. R. A, “We still have that code and will continue to operate,” he declared. “We will attempt to regulate hot oil with every resource we have.” New Law to Be Sought. At his press conference today Ickes said he will seek new legislation to regulate production and shipment of illegally produced oil. He added he would confer immediately with Chair- man Cole of the House COMMEICE| sjjections amounted Subcommittee investigating the oil industry, but would not draft & bill pending action by that group. “I don’t think that the country will ever be in the position to control the oil situation without further legisla- ion.” Ickes said. “It is absolutely inevitable that there will be an ap- proach to the conditions before the Oil Administration took hold. “There will not only be an incentive but an opportunity for one man to steal the oil of another man. Under the weight of increased production prices can't hold. “I'm not predicting when it will happen; I'm saying it will happen.” He expressed belief the Cole Com- mittee, which recently reported against Federal regulation at this time, would submit a bill. Pointing out that only one section of the recovery act was declared ille- gal, Ickes said the law might have been “more carefully and skillfully drawn.” He added the Petroleum Adminis- { trative Board would discuss imme- diately with the Justice Department the guestion of what could be done.

Supreme Court Denies | Additional Details on Libel Suit. Senator Huey Long of Louisiana lost | the third round of his legal skirmish | with Gen. Samuel T. Ansell today, | when District Supreme Court Justice | Paniel W. O'Donoghue dismissed his request for a more detailed statement |of the $500000 libel suit pending against him. In opposing the Senator's motion, counsel for Gen. Ansell said: “After two abortive attempts to evade the jurisdiction of this court the defendant for the third time comes into court and, ‘appearing spe- cially for the purpose.’ files a motion that presumes to go to the merits of the matters to be tried. He thus sub- mits himself to the jurisdiction of the court. The motion, to say the least of it, is utterly groundless.” Justice O'Donoghue dismissed the motion without comment. The libel suit was filed by Gen. Ansell after copies of a speech made in the Senate by Senator Long had been sent to numerous persons in Washington and Louisiana. He as- serted statements in the speech were untrue and had resulted in damage to him. Long had asked the court to require the plaintiff to state whether he claimed the alleged libel was a cor- rect copy of the speech, and, if not, in what particulars it was incorrect; whether he claimed the alleged libel was sent through the mails under an official frank, and whether the head- ings written by Senator Long correct- 1y represented the text of the speech. Senator Long first claimed he could not be served with process in a civil suit while attending a session of Con- gress on the theory he was protected by statute from such service. The U. S. Supreme Court ruled against him on thjs point, and he then advanced the theory he was afforded the same protection by the common law. This contention was also re- Jected in court.

BY REX COLLIER. While Al Capone, one-time Public | Enemy No. 1. languishes in far-off | Alcatraz Island penitentiary, the Fed- | eral Government is preparing to go| before the United States Board of Tax | Appeals in an attempt to collect from ' the former Chicago gangster $391.506 in back income taxes and penalties. Witnesses in support of the Govern- ment's claim are being rounded up | guietly, with a view to presenting to'! the board at an early hearing evidence | lars for the years 1924 to 1829, in- clusive, ‘The board plans to set a date for the | hearing shortly.

Officials here say it! will not be necessary for the prohibi- tion-era underworld chieftain to ap-| pear in person. He will be repre-! sented by his attorney, Michael J.| Ahern of Chicago, it is indicated. The present move is the outgrowth of the conviction of Capone in 1931 on charges of “attempting to evade and defeat” income taxes for 1925, 1926 and 1927. He was sentenced to 11 years in Federal prison and fined $50.000. After spending three years in Leavenworth Penitentiary he was! transferred last Summer to Alcatraz, | the Government's new stronghold for | hardened criminals. With Capone and a number of his' henchmen safely behind bars, the In- | ternal Revenue Bureau, whose “un- touchable” investigators had amassed | the Government’s evidence. launched | an effort to collect income taxes it alleged were due by reason of Ci pone’s gambling and other opera- tions. Assessments Made. An assessment of $68.664 at first was made by the bureau, covering taxes and penalties on income from 1926 to 1929, inclusive. Later Capone was notified that the bureau proposed to make further as- sessments for the period from 1924 to | 1929, totaling $322,842, Capone, through Attorney Ahern, protested both assessments, denied he had received the income charged to him and asserted the Government had no proof of its allegations. Moreover, Capone made the claim by the bureau would constitute “dou- ble punishment” and destroy his con- stitutional rights, in view of the fact that he now is being punished for evasion of the questioned income taxes. At the hearing the Internal Revenue Bureau will seek to show that Capone received 41 per cent of the profits of the Cicero Gambling Syndicate in 1924; 52 per cent of the profits of the syndicate in 1926 and¢ 1927; de- posits and checks cashed in the ac- count of Mae Capone, said to be the gangster's wife, and certain other funds listed in some detail. Allegations of Government. The 1924 profits of the Cicero Gam- | bling Syndicate, the Government will| assert, were $300,259, of which Ca- pone’s “cut” was $123,103. In 1925, it will be alleged, Capone’s share of the syndicate’s profits was $61,079. In addition, it will be stated, | he received a one-sixth share of de- posits and checks amounting to $1.- 162,568, and proceeds of a $2,500 bank | account in the name of Mae Capone. Capone's share of the gambling syndicate’s profits in 1926, it is charged, was $88,405, supplefented by | bank deposits totaling $107,271. His total taxable income for 1927, it is claimed, was $218,057; for 1928, | $157,203, and for 1929, $104,000. In a petition for redetermination of the assessments, Capone denied any interest in the Cicero gambling syn- dicate or its profit; and disputed the claim that he received any part of the bank deposits claimed by the Government. Most of the evidence was collected by special agents of the intelligence unit of the Internal Revenue Bureau, underr direction of Elmer L. Irey, its chief. TR Steamship Decision Due.

PASSAGE IS SEEN FOR FOUR-BILLION FUNDTOENDDOLE Specification of Projects by Congress Continues to Be Discussed. LUMP SUM APPROVAL CONCEDED, HOWEVER Roosevelt Hint at New Taxes if Bonus Is Passed Is Found in Budget Message. By the Assoclated Press. As Congress went to work today on the $8.250,000,000 budget President Roosevelt has submitted, Democratic leaders predicted his $4.000,000,000 plan to swing from the dole to jobs would go through swiftly despite stir- rings of criticism in two sectors. There was still some talk today among sorhe Democrats as well as Re- puhlicans that Congress should choose the specific projects on which the money will be spent instead of giving it 1o the President in a lump sum to allot as he sees fit, There also were expressions of belief from Western progressives that $4,000,~ 000.600 will not be enough and that “wages prevailing in industry” should be paid to relief workers instead of the President’s plan to pay less. Concede Lump Sum to Pass. But many Democrats expressed ap- proval of the plan, and with that party’s majorities so huge, even the bitterest opponents of the lump-sum idea agreed privately that it would go through without major change. Some routine tasks delayed until Thursday the initial consideration in the House of the thing President Roosevelt wants first. This is the $880,000,000 for immediate relief dure ing the dole-to-jobs transition. Leaders were seeking to get the re lief and works proposals out of the way “before the pressure starts.” Al ready some legislators are receiving protests about the plan to return 1.- 500,000 “unemployables” to the care of the States. Buchanan Reserves Comment. Chairman Buchanan, Democrat. of ‘Texas, of the House Appropriations Committee, had reserved until today his comment on the President’s budget proposals: “The budget for this year—1935— was $8,581,000.000. For next year it is $8520,000,000. Receipts for 1935 will be $3.711.000,000. Receipts for 1936 will be $3.991,000,000. “That shows that the receipts are going up and the expenditures going down—not as fast as I would like, but that's an encouraging sign. The re- ceipts show recovery in the first in- stance and the expenditures economy in the second. “The ordinary expenditures of the Government next year will be, under this budget. less than the receipts, ‘That shows that when things pick up, we can have a balanced budget™ Sees No Alternative. Although he has a long-time record of opposing lump-sum appropriations, Buchanan said he did not see how Congress could do anything else now. “Neither this committee nor all the | committees in Congress working to- gether could allocate all this money in time for its expenditure to do any good,” he contended. Yesterday's reaction to the budget ranged from the remarks of Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader, that it revealed gratifying situation” to a comment of Represent- ative Snell, Republican floor leader in the House, who said: “It iooks like we'll all have a lot of money by and by.” There was some cloak-room taik today about one statement in the President’s message that escaped par- ticular attention yesterday. He said, “I do not consider it advisable at this time to propose any new or additional taxes for the fiscal year 1936.” Hint on Bonus Seen. Some who preferred not to be quot- ed by name pointed to that as a thinly- veiled hint that if Congress passed the $2,100,000,000 bonus, the President would ask new taxes. They found additional weight for that belief in a speech last night by Speaker Byrns. He said that “unless some exceptional and unforeseen bur- den develops, I don't look for any sub- stantial change” in taxes. As for the administration’s social security program, Senator Robinson, Democratic leader, has said the Pres- jdent probably would send a special message this week urging unemploy- ment insurance and old age pensions. He said it would cost the Federal Gov- ernment $100,000,000 the first year, with States taking more of the burden later. MRS. WILLIAM WOODIN FILES DIVORCE SUIT By the Associated Press.
