HAUPTMANN SEES TRI0 GO TO DOOM Religious Turn Emphasized in Attitude Toward New Jersey Slayers. By the Assoclated Press. TRENTON, N. J, March 16.— Bruno Hauptmann's stoic calm was unruffied today, though death had brushed him by in grim reminder of a fate that some day might be his. Offering the slim solace of a hand- clasp and a last word, he bid good-by to three of his six companions in the Jersey Prison death house as they walked past his cell down the short corridor to the execution chamber last night. These three, obscure and unheroic gunmen—Connie Scarpone, Michael Mule, George De Stefano, jr.—lived briefly in the limelight of publicity about the Bronx' carpenter before going to the electric chair to answer for the robbery-murder of John Szczytkowski of Trenton No Evident Emotion. As they were led down the death house corridor, Hauptmann regarded each without visible evidence of emo- tion. Each paused at his cell, and each was given a firm handclasp and told: “Pray to God.” Hauptmann dropved to the edge of his bunk and stared. expression- less, at the wall as the last 8f the doomed men departed. The heavy steel door closed, shutting out every sound from the execution room beyond | while silence settled again over the high-ceilinged, white-halled death house. Scarpone smiled, said good-by, and | made a statement attempting to link a trial witness to the crime for which he died. Mule and De Stefano were silent.

Hauptmann’s last words to Scar- pone, Mule and De Stefano, his jailors said, emphasized the religious turn his mind has taken in prison.

By the Assoclated Press. HAVANA, March 16.—The Cubal government in a sweeping decree man- ipulating tariffs set the United States apart yesterday as a privileged trad- ing nation and took from such coun- tries as Japan gains made at the ex- pense of American interests in re- cent years, American cotton textile interests were handed back one of the choicest of foreign markets, The decree, aimed at products from countries where cheap labor, cheap money or subsidized industry prevail, set high tariffs to block the further entry of such products into Cuba. ‘These measures are not applicable to American-made products. ‘The decree sets up a national tariff commission and provides that a max- imum tariff be levied against coun- tries in the so-called cheap labor, cheap money or government subsidy class, as well as countries whose pur- chases of Cuban goods do not meet certain specified values, It provides that the maximum be levied against nations whose pur- chases of Cuban products are valued at less than 25 per cent of the amount of that nation’s sales in Cuba. Nations under that classification include Japan, Russia, Italy, Indo- China, Denmark, Turkey, Norway and a dozen more. Natlons which purchase from Cuba 25 to 50 per cent of the value of their own sales in Cuba, are given the ad- vantage of the minimum tariff, but a 25 per cent surcharge is added in every case. — Built in Holy Land.

YOUNG law professor was plead- ing with a young society man. “You've got to go,” he said. “T'll lend you the money. Come on, the girls are waiting.” The society man gave in. They climbed in an automobile and drove first to the home of one girl, then to the home of the other. The dance was to be in Alexandria, and they started off, Soon after leaving the home of the last girl the law professor, who was driving, reached his hand back toward his friend. “Here's something for you,” he said. The young sbciety man took it, ali the while continuing his con- versation with his companion. } They reached the dance, and the girls went in to leave their wraps. “Now,” said the society man, “you'd }beuer let me have the five dollars. | T'll pay you tomorrow.” “Wbhat are you talking about?

QUIET girl from Texas came to Washington recently to take a job with the Internal Revenue Department. After working a while she decided to take a day of leave and go up to the Capitol to see her most famous fellow-texan, Vice Presi- dent Garner. She telephoned for an appoint- ment and a secretary told her to come up any time she wished. She went immediately. The office was empty except for the clerical force, and she was ushered into the Vice President’s | office at once. | There was Mr. Garner looking “just like his pictures, only pinker.” They talked about Texas and he told her about his hunting trips. He knew some people she knew. No secretaries popped in and out, no buzzers buzzed | and no telephones rang. | She must have stayed half an hour, she says, and when she left the Vice | President told her to come again. * x o o WINDOW PHILOSOPHY.

Secretary’s Speech: Weights Employes’| Pay Roll Envelopes Hints of Propaganda Dropped by Anti- Democrats. ‘Treasury employes found their en- velopes heavier than usual when the midmonth pay roll was distributed yesterday. The added weight was non-negoti- able, however, being due to the in- clusion of copies of the radio speech delivered by Secretary Morgenthau on March 4, as nart of the celebration of the 2d birthday anniversary of the New Deal. Individuals suspected of having anti- Democratic leanings were inclined to broad hints that the rather uuusual procedure smacked of propaganda, or something equally to be deplored ! It’s all a question of viewpoint, how- ever, for at the Treasury it was said that the speech contained an outline of departmental activities, and that it was felt entirely proper to put it before the workers in written form.

A drive to raise $13.000 to finance the activities of the Washington Fed- | eration of Churches during the coming year will be launched next week under leadership of W. O. Tufts, general chairman of the campaign. The drive was planned at a meeting of 100 federation workers last night in Scholl’s cafe. Considerable emphasis will be laid upon law enforcement by the federation during the coming year. The principal speaker at the meeting was Wilbur La Roe, jr, chairman of the District Parole Board and of the federation’s Civic Committee. . Referring to his recent testimony before a House subcommittee investi- gating crime conditions in Washing- ton, La Roe said: “In my appearance before the Crime Committee I gave evidence that law enforcement in the District blew hot and blew cold. For 10 months in 1933 there were no arrests for gambling. Then in the next three months there were 98. What we want is law enforcement all the time.” The drive for funds will be the second conducted by the federation, which last year raised about $10,000 for operating expenses and to finance a broader field of activities. Other speakers at the meeting were Maurice R. Hamm, director, and W. L. Darby, federation executive secretary. Tainted Cream Puffs Blamed for Three Rhode Island Deaths. WOONSOCKET, R.
