(Copyright. 1935, by the Associated Press.) | FLEMINGTON, N. J,, January 30.— Mrs. Bruno Richard Hauptmann—tes- tifying to save her husband from the electric chair as the kidnaper and murderer of baby Charles A. Lind- bergh, jr—tremulously offered an alibi to his jury today for every im- portant date connected with the crime. The State, taking her over for cross- examination, immediately attacked her credibility on her assertion she had never used a shelf in a broom closet, and therefore. had never seen the shoebox in which Hauptmann said the dead Isador Fisch gave him the $14.- 600 Lindbergh ransom money found in his possession. She admitted she did use the shelf. She said Hauptmann was with her in New York on the night of March 1. 1932, when Baby Lindbergh was stolen from his crib more than 60 miles away. She testified he was at home with her and a friend on April 2. 1932, when Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon said he paid Hauptmann the $50.000 | futile ransom in a Bronx graveyard. Denies Theater Trip. She said Hauptmann spent the evening of November 26, 1933, at home. A theater cashier had testi- fied he proffered a Lindbergh ransom note in payment for a ticket on that night. The date was prior to the time Hauptmann said Fisch gave him the shoebox with the money. Mrs. Hauptmann succeeded her husband on the stand. On her direct testimony she said she could not reach the top shelf of the broom closet and for that reason never used it. Attorney General David T. Wilentz made her admit she kept a tin box ‘with soap coupons on that shelf and that she often took the box down; also that she kept rags and curtain rods on the shelf. She insisted, nevertheless, that she never saw the shoe box. ‘Wilentz, attacking the most impor- tant alibi she offered for her husband, asked her: “And so when they (the police) asked you about March 1 you said, “That’s too far back; I can’t remem- ber whether my husband was with me or not’?” “When they asked me about the 1st of March I believe I said that,” she admitted. Denies Husband Limped. She also disputed the testimony of a State witness, Mrs. Ella Achenbach, her former employer, who said the Hauptmanns cslled on her in March, 1932, after the kidnaping, saying they had just returned from a trip, Haupt- mann limping.

NEW YORK, January 30.—Mechan- ! ical lungs for,airplane wings, a new discovery in aviation, will be an- nounced tonight for the first time to the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. The lungs are flying aids for faster climbing, slower and safer landing and quicker take-off. They were developed in the Arlington wind tunnel in ex- periments by Eastman Jacobs. ‘These new breathers are on the up- per surface of wings, a series of thouths, or openings, connected with the engine, which furnishes the power to suck air into the mouths.

The Roosevelt administration, after suffering its first major reversal of the Seventy-fourth Congress when the Senate voted to keep the United States | out of the World Court, turned today | to the task of welding its strength for | struggles over vast domestic problems. What effect Jast night's vote—in which the Senate rejected the World Court proposal by a surprising margin ot seven votes—would have on other paramount issues was & matter of | much conjecture. Some contended it might lend strength to the drive of critics seeking to change features of such measures as the $4,880,000,000 work and relief bill. Others viewed it as a non-par- tisan fight with no predictable bear- ing on other controversies. Climaxes 12-Year Fight. The roll call, which wrote a climax to 12 years of controversy, showed 52 votes for joining the Court and 36 “noes.” With 88 voting, this was seven votes short of the required two-thirds. Jubilantly, the Court's opponents declared the issue dead forever. Weary after a long fight for the Court, the administration leader, Senator Rob- inson, said sadly: “This forecloses the question of American entry into the Court for an indefinite period.” But prominent Court advocates, in- cluding Elihu Root and Newton D. Baker, said the fight must go on. “This means,” said Baker, “that we must continue the campaign of edu- cation until we have secured seven more votes.” President Roosevelt, who had urged adherence to the Court, was silent. Both proponents and opponents agreed that an important factor in the result was the radio campaign conducted against the Court by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit priest. Telegrams Influential. Senator Robinson, who led the fight for adherence against the anti-Court chieftains—Johnson of California and Borah of Idaho—also said the “tele- grams received by Senators during the last two or three days had a very pow- erful influence.” In- Detroit, Father Coughlin con- gratulated “the aroused people of the (Continued on Page 3, Column 4.) New Legal Holiday Hit. The District Commissioners regis- tered opposition yesterday to a bill to designate Thomas Jefferson's birth- day anniversary as a legal holiday for the District. They said they did not believe it would be in public interest unless the day were made a national e holiday. Mechanical Lungs for Wings Make Landing of Plane Safer fifths of the lift comes from the top of the wing. The reason is partial vacuum or lowered air pressure above the wing. This low pressure is caused by the air rushing over the wing top much faster than in the area sur- rounding the plane. When the flow of air over the top of the wing breaks away from con- tact with the upper surface, the par- tial vacuum disappears, the lift ceases. The mechanical lungs prevent this break in contact by merely sucking in a little of the air rushing over the wing top. Tests show that not more than 1 to 3 per cent of the engine power is needed for lung action, and the breath- ing is not necessarily used all the. time. No plane has been equipped with the lungs yet. But their feasibility is shown on 5-foot model wings in the » WEDNESDAY, iEASTMAN URGES FEDERAL CONTROL Proposes Law to Extend U. S. Control to Air, Sea and Land. 1. C. C. QUICKLY RAISES OBJECTIONS TO PLAN Co<ordinator Would Create Super- agency by Revamping Pres- ent Commission. By the Associated Press. A vast plan to extend Federal regu- lation to all important forms of trans- portation on land, sea and in the air was recommended to Congress today by Joseph E. Eastman, Federal co- | ordinator of transportation. A super-agency, in the form of a re-created Interstate Commerce Com- mission, would rule the Nation's far- flung networks of carriers. Setting his goal as co-ordinated, ef- ficient and economical transportation, Eastman urged that instead of the present I. C. C. of 11 men, the new agency have a membership of 16, di- vided into five units: A finance division of three members. A railroad division of five. A water carrier and pipe line divi- sion of three. A motor carrier and air carrier di- vision of three. A control board, composed of the chairmen of the commission and the heads of the four subsidiary divisions under it. Co-ordinating Post Provided. The office of co-ordinator of trans- portation would be continued and would be filled by an I. C. C. member designated by the President. His func- tion would be to plan improvements in the Nation-wide transportation sys- tem. Under a law proposed Jy East- man, the co-ordinator could compel unification of facilities. 1f orders for co-ordination of facili- ties were disobeyed, fines as high as $20,000 & day could be imposed. All transportation would be removed from N. R. A. control. Dismissal wages would be given men displaced by con- solidations of services. Eastman rejected the “Prince plan” of regional railroad consolidation and his own favored plan for Government ownership on the ground of difficulty of accomplishment and the large na- tional debt. He urged amendment of the bankruptcy act to facilitate rail- road reorganizations. e Opposition Develops Quickly. His plan met immediate opposition. Eight of the present members of the L C. C. in a letter transmitting the report to Congress asserted reorgani- zation of the commission is unneeded and undesirable. The ultimate objective, Eastman said, is “a system of transportation for the Nation which will supply the most efficient means of transport and furnish service as cheaply as is con- sistent with fair treatment of labor and with earnings which will support adequate credit and the ability to ex- pand as need develops and to take ad- vantage of all improvements in the art. This system of transportation must be in the hands of reliable and re- sponsible operators whose charges for service will be known, dependable and reasonable and free from unjust dis- crimination.” “The question is,” Eastman con- tinued, “What can the Federal Gov- ernment do to accomplish this ob- jective? Three general methods ap- pear possible: “One follows conservative lines of thought, with main reliance on private (Continued on Page 4, Column 4.) REPUBLICAN VICTOR IN INDIANA VOTE Second Congressional District Sends Halleck as Rep- resentative. By the Assoclated Press. LAFAYETTE, Ind., January 30.— The second Indiana congressional dis- trict again has decided to send a Republican Representative to Wash- ington. The voters last November 6 elected Frederick Landis, Republican, but he died a few days later of pneumonia contracted while campaigning. At a special election yesterday Charles A. Halleck, 35-year-old Republican at- torney of Rennsselaer, was elected to fill the vacancy. The complete unofficial vote gave Halleck & majority of 5,093 votes over his Democratic opponent, George Durgan of Lafayette. In November Durgan was defeated by Landis by 10,942 votes. Halleck has served three terms as prosectuing attorney and is a member of the American Legion. He is married and the father of twins. Halleck won the Republican nom- ination over Landis’ widow and for- mer Gov. Harry G. Leslie. In an aggressive campaign he fre- quently declared that if elected he would not seek to obstruct measures advocated by President Roosevelt, but neither would he be a “rubber stamp” on administration measures. He will be Indiana’s only Republican Rep- resentative. 3 - MALARIA KILLS 7,000 Ceylon Area Epidemic Threatens to Spread Further.

TOKIO, January 31 (Thursday).— Rengo (Japanese News Agency) re- ported early today in a dispatch from ' Hsinking, Manchoukuo, that a Japa- nese-Manchoukuan force last night (Wednesday) captured Kalkha Miao aleng the Manchu-Mongol border, and that the Mongols were retreat- ing to the southward. Serious fighting began along the border when the Japanese column launched the at- tack, intended to eject outer Mon- golian troops from a disputed area northeast of Bor Nor. A battle for the possession of Kalkha Miao, the large Lamaist Tem- ple northeast of Bor Nor, was reported to have started when a strong Mcngol force resisted the Japanese expedition under Col. Wada, The Japanese troops engaged were otherwise unidentified | but were believed to be cavalrymen from the Hailar garrison. Kalkha Miao is the outstanding landmark in the desolate disputed triangle bounded by the Kalkha, Urson and a third smaller river with a changeable course. The vagaries of the river are largely responsible for the boundary dispute. Relief Workers Guarded.

PAY RESTORATION APRIL 1 15 VOTED BY OVERWHELMING HOUSE MAJORITY Conferees Named to Smooth Out Parliamentary Tangle After Buchanan Suggests Limit Under $3,000. CHAIRMAN IS ACCUSED OF POLITICAL GESTURE Boyland Claims Saving by Fail- ure to Restore Full Salaries to Those Drawing Over That Sum Would Be Inconsequential. Action Due Soon. By an overwhelming vote the House today approved the Senate amend- ment to the urgent defiency appro- priation bill restoring full basic salaries to all Government employes on April 1 This action was taken on motion of Representative Mead, Democrat of New York, after Chairman Buchanan of the Appropriations Committee had taken the floor in opposition to the amendment and Minority Leader Snell had demanded that the House be given an opportunity to settle the question at once. The Mead motion for instructing the conferees followed one by Buchan- an to send the bill to conference in order to clear up a parliamentary sit- | uation After the vote Speaker Byrns named the following conferees to represent the House in conference with the Sen- ate on the amendment: Representa- tives Buchanan, Texas: Arnold, Illi- nois, and Oliver, Alabama, Democrats, and Taber and Bacon, both of New York, Republicans. Many Advocate Restoration. During the brief discussion today Representative Boyland, Democrat of New York; Representative Fitzpatrick, Democrat, of New York: Representa- tive Kvale, Progressive, of Minnesota; Representative Martin, Republican, of and Representative McLeod, Republican, of Michigan, all took the floor in advocacy of salary restoration. Chairman Buchanan stated that in conference he would try to have the Senate amendment changed to per- mit those receiving salaries up to about $3,000 to get the full pay restoration, eliminating those in the higher brackets. Kvale and Fitzpatrick charged this was “merely a political gesture” and declared the saving to the Govern- | ment would be inconsequential. Buchanan said the entire amend- ment granting the salary restoration to all employes would cost the Gov- ernmentsapproximately $22.500,000. Boyland argued that “the saving through eliminating those in the higher salary brackets would be so insignificant as to amount to petty larceny.” and insisted that full pay should be restored to all employes, no matter what their salaries. Blanton Enters Fight. Representative Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, was challenged by Repre- sentatives Snell and Mariin on the Republican side and Bulwinkle, Dem= ocrat, of North Carolina when he de- clared that some power outside of Con- gress had been running up salaries | from $3,000 and $4,000 to $10,000. Blanton said practically every District official had had his salary doubled or trebled. ‘The opposition to the pay restora- tion amendment fizzled when Repre- sentative Mead offered his proposal to instruct the conferees, which was car- ried with acclaim.
