L MILWAUKEE, Wis,, April 6.—The Milwaukee Sentinel said tonight a Milwaukze priest yesteriay came into the Lindbergh kidnaping case with purported evidence which shattered testimony, given by Bruno Richard Hauptmann and some of his principel |alibi witnesses at his recent trial. The Sentinel said the priest, Rev. Michal J. Kallok, pastor of St. Joseph’s Church in Cudahy, a suburb of Mil- waukee, told a story which indicated bergh family was fostered many months before the kidnaping and that Bruno Hauptmann knew every inch of the grounds surrounding the Lindbergh estate.” vous and about the riding stable | grounds.” “[The Sentinel quoted Father Kal- ok : “I saw Hauptmann many times.

If| neither of these requests be approved, then he asks that the commission definitely reject the application “so that I may take further action in the interest of the petitioners.” This last | statement was interpreted as a warn- ing Roberts may take the case to court if the through or improved serv- ice is denied. Roberts argued the through bus extension is necessary before the com- mission’s order to transfer some of the Georgia avenue cars to Seventh street becomes effective. He warned of the time needed for provision of additional busses. Early Action Sought. Some months ago the comm: ordered substitution of bus service for the old street car line on Fourth street southwest. Also it ordered abandon- ment of the Le Droit Park street car line. substituting a loop bus about the Le Droit Park region. In his new brief, Poberts also urged early consideration of the proposed es- | tablishment of a through crosstown ! bus line, which would run generally from Tenley Circle on Wisconsin ave- nue to the Catholic University, via Porter street, Klingle and Park roads, past Soldiers’ Home and along Mich- igan avenue, or a similar route. The present Park road bus now stops on the east side of Rock Creek Park. Commission officials said vesterday studies were being made of this plan. The people’s counsel also protested against overloading of busses, specifi- cally mentioning the Fourth street southwest line, and urged the com- mission to modify present rules on standing passenger limits. He sub- mitted figures gathered in a study of | that problem by the Southwest Citi- | zens’ Association showing overcrowd- ing.

Mansfield's proposal that po- licemen be allowed to retire volun- tarily after 25 years of service has been seriously considered by the com- mittee.

Committee members who think the force should be composed of young and aggressive type of men, are said to believe Mansfield’s recommenda- tion might accomplish that result. | In the meantime, Representative Schulte, Democrat, of Indiana, one | of the most active members of the | eommittee, prepared a speech he is| to make in the House this week in | answer to certain charges of Repre- sentative Blanton, Democrat, of | Texas. | Schulte said he would speak either | ‘Tuesday or Wednesday to correct some of the “inaccuracies” in Blan- ton's attack on the newspapers and the Crime Committee.

It is understood, however, that | Bean, like the Crime Committee, was unable definitely to establish whether there had been a “tip-off.” However, he is said to have made certain rec- ommendations for improving condi- tions in the fifth precinct.

Morgan of the fifth pre- cinct for their failure to investigate the reported “tip-off” before it was called to the attention of the Crime Committee. —_— Greater Dairen Planned. The Kwantungtung government at Port Arthur is preparing plans for a Greater Dairen in Manchoukuo. The place has grown in two years from a rallway flag stop to a bustling city. ‘The plans include the transfer to Dai- ren of the seat of government, exten- sion of the city limits and increased authority for the local municipality.

Mr. Hindus had been discussing the So land policy in response to a question from Father Walsh when, waxing oratorical, he declared: “The Russian peasant never cared a damn for title to ‘he land. He didn't care a d—, uh, uh, uh, a snap of the fingers . " But the rest of the sentence was lost in the howls of the audience. Father Walsh came quickly to the speaker’s rescue, advising him: “Don’t prenep Lawyer Turns Down Serv- | let me cramp your style, Mr. Hundus.” Mr. Hindus expressed his gratitude. e KEEPING THE CAPITOL CLEAN. PART of the annual appropriation for supplies on Capitol Hill call for 2,300,000 towels for the Con- gressmen. And the 5 miles of martle corridors require that 150 barrels of sawdust annually be pushed around by 5.184 broom corn and hair brooms. ! A ceriain proportion of these hair brooms are used to keep dustless the 550 mahogany desks on the Hill. And if such homely statistics don't bore you, then hear further that 425 skilled mechanics, from biacksmiths to fine clockmakers, are maintained as a part of the Capitol buildings staff. o e FLY IF YOU'RE LONELY.
