PRESIDENT LEAVES CAPITAL TONIGHT To See New London Boat Race, Visit Hyde Park and New York. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt will leave Wash- ington tonight for New London, Conn., where tomorrow afterncon he will witness the annual Harvard-Yale boat races. He then will go to the Roose- velt home at Hyde Park, N. Y, to spend the week end. On his return journey the President has arranged to make a few hours’ visit at his residence on Sixty-fifth street in New York City. With Mrs. Roosevelt, other members of his family end a few friends the President will have dinner there and then start back to Washington about midnight, arriv- ing at the White House early Monday. The President’s principal interest in the Harvard-Yale races is that his son, Franklin, jr. is a member of the Harvard junior varsity crew. Mr. Roosevelt journeyed to New Londen last Summer to see the races in which Franklin, jr., rowed for the Harvard freshman crew, which was defeated by the Yale freshmen. Several weeks ago the President saw Franklin, jr, and his boatmates lose again at Annapolis. ‘This time he hopes his visit will bring better luck. Pressing Business Only. During his brief stay at Hyde Park Mr. Roosevelt intends to give his at- tention only to very pressing business. Mrs. Roosevelt will join the presi- dential party at New London tomor- row. She is not going to Hyde Park with her husband, but will go to the New York home to have things ready for the President’s visit. Mr. Roosevelt was kept busy today clearing his desk of accumulated rou- tine and disposing of other pressing matters preparatory to his short ab- sence from the city. He conferred with & number of his administration lieutenants, some of them by tele- phone. With a view to having a last- minute check-up before his departure, the President had his cabinet meet with him this afternoon instead of tomorrow afternoon, as is the custom. The President today had a long chat with Donald R. Richberg, who retired e few days ago as directing head of the N.R. A. and who is returning to his* private law practice in Chicago. Their “good-by” talk took. place during a desk luncheon in the President's of- fice. Richberg Refuses New Post. It has been reported that the President recently tried to prevail on Richberg to afcept appointment as | special counsel to conduct the forth- coming investigations of the Ameri- can Telephone & Telegraph Co., s0 as to keep him in Washington, but Richberg is understood to have de- clined, saying he was eager to get back to.his own practice. ‘The President conferred also with Harry Kendall, chairman of the Business and Planning Committee; the members of the Federal Trade Commission; Senators Wheeler and Murray of Montana, regarding work relief plans for that State; Gov. Poin- dexter of Hawali, and Leland Harri- son, who is leaving this country shortly to assume his duties as Minis- ter to Rumania, and John MacMur- ray, Minister to Latvia, Lithuania and Esthonia, who has recently ar- Tived in this country for a vacation. On the President’s special train when it leaves Union Station late tonight for New London will ve M. H. McIntyre, one of the President’s secretaries; Henry Kannee, of the secretarial staff, and Miss Marguerite Le Hand, the President’s private sec- Tetary. DOCTOR AND COMPANION RESCUED IN ATLANTIC By the Associated Press. PORTSMOUTH, N. H,, June 20.—A fishing party last night rescued Dr. Daniel E. Nyman, 38-year-old Arling- ton, Mass., physician, and a companion from a small dory in which they drifted on the North Atlantic without food or water for three days. The pair had abandoned their 54- foot motorboat Franz Sunday night. Dr. Nyman was rushed to the Ports- mouth Hospital in serious condition, but his companion, Stanley Mazrinas, 28, of Cambridge, suffered less severely from the experience. The two-day search by Coast Guard vessels and planes ended when a Portsmouth fishing party headed by Patrolman Joseph Truman of the Portsmouth Police Department brought the two men to the hospital. sr:cfu.

J. They will plead for reversal of conviction—possibly the last phase of Haupt- mann'’s fight for life. Left to right: Hauptmann (Continued From First Page.) four—will follow the hearing, while the 14 members of the court study the 10-volume record of the Fleming- ton trial. A decision, either sustain- ing the conviction or ordering a new trial, was not expected until Septem- ber or October. The high court, to avoid such crowds as flocked to the Flemington trial, laid drastic limitation on at- tendance. When the 50 seats avail- able were taken, the doors were locked. “Varying Theories” Emphasized. The Hauptmann brief laid its heavi- est emphasis on the charge that the State had wrongfully used varying theories in the trial as to how the kidnaped child met death. The burden of State’s evidence, it said, was that the child had been killed when he was dropped from the kidnaper’s buckling ladder. Despite this, the brief con- tended, Wilentz, summing up- for the State, espoused an entirely different theory that Hauptmaan had killed the child before removing him from his crib. A week-old opinion of the court granting a new trial to a Newark colored man was cited in support of this contention. Although the court did not rule on the point in that decision, it observed in its opinion that it was unfair to inject a new theory in a murder trial after the case had proceeded on a different theory be- cause it deprived the defendant of his right to cross-examination on the new theory. The brief further contended that the alleged varying death theories ad- vanced by the prosecution contravened Hauptmann’s constitutional rights to a fair trial. In this contention was seen the possible basis of an appeal to the United States Supreme Court in event of an unfavorable decision. The brief also contended that the admission of the kidnap ladder in evidence was improper and that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s daily presence in the court influenced the jury un- fairly. Hochmuth’s Testimony Attacked. Iv attacked the testimony of Anan- dus Hochmuth, octogenarian who tes- tified he saw Hauptmann near the Lindbergh estate, and attacked the credibility of Millard Whited and Charles B. Rossiter, who also placed Hauptmann in the vicinity. Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, presiding judge, was at- tacked in the brief on the grounds that he “impaired a free verdict and impressed upon the jury his conclu- sions as to the evidence and imposed upon the defendant an unauthorized rule as to reasonable doubt.” The brief charged likewise that he failed to charge the rule as to the weight of handwriting testimony, and ignored a number of request charges offered by the defense. ‘The brief attacked the expert value of Arthur Koehler's wood testimony, and the value of Lindbergh’s identifi- cation of Hauptmann’s voice. It charged Dr. John F. Condon,. ransom payment intermediary, did not testify truthfully and fairly, and that the testimony of John Perrone, Bronx taxi driver; Al Reich, Condon’s bodyguard, and other State witnesses was con- fused. State Answers Charges. ‘The answering brief of the State e | said the evidence “proved conclusive- ly” that Hauptmann was guilty of the murder, dismissed lightly the import of the varying theories as to the cause of death, called Hauptmann's inter- pretation of the attorney general’s summation “unwarranted.” ‘The State brief also replied point by point to the 17 issues raised in the defense brief. It defended the at- torney general's characterizations of Hauptmann as a “cold-blooded mur- derer” and “public enemy No. 1 of this world” as proper comments on the “character of & man who would commit such a crime.” Pointing to the testimony of the handwriting experts and Koehler as “unchaken and uncontradicted,” the State continued: “The testimony of Dr. John F. Con- don is of like effect. He described clearly and accurately his meetings with the plaintiff-in-error (Haupt- mann), payment of the ransom money and his identification was positive and emphatic. Col. Lindbergh’s identification of Hauptmann’s voice was mot contra- dicted, the brief added, and was “a R positive and direct tdmfiflutlon which New Plants Discovered.

TURNER CONDEMNS STRATOSPHERE HOP Cautions Airminded Public “Not to Kid Ourselves About What Can Be Done With It.” By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, June 20.—Without naming any one aviator, or any par- ticular aerial attempt, Col. Roscoe ‘Turner, ranking speed pilot, yesterday condemned stratosphere flying today and cautioned the airminded public “not to kid ourselves about what can be done with it.” Col. Turner’s remarks were made at an aviation luncheon of the Cali- fornia Town Hall Club. “The trend now is to combine speed with safety,” he said. “Stratosphere flying introduced additional hazards. “Past experience doesn’t bear out the prevalent notion that planes soon will be going 800 miles an hour through the stratosphere. There’s no use to kid ourselves about how fast we're going to go, or what can be done in the stratosphere.” —_— JOIN F. H. C. DRIVE ‘Westinghouse, Pittsburgh Plate Glass to Aid in Modernization.

A lot would rather stay home on relief.” Stutz is execu- tive secretary of the Kansas Emer- gency Relief Committee.

C, THURSDAY, MINISTER GERTAIN BRUNOTO 0 FREE Hauptmann’s Adviser Hints Private Probe to Reveal “Real Kidnapers.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 20.—Bruno Hauptmann's spiritual adviser pre- dicted today that the convicted slayer of the Lindbergh baby “will live to learn the identities of the kidnapers” of the 20-month-old child. Rev. D, G. Werner, Seventh-Day Adventist minister, who has been in charge of the defense investigatidn of the kidnaping since Hauptmann's conviction, said before he left for Trenton to hear the prisoner’s ap- peal from the death sentence that his investigators are following clues “al- most certain to lead to the kidnapers.” “If the appeal fails” Werner said, “I am confident that Hauptmann will go free eventually on new evidence. “But,” he added, “both Richard and I feel that the appeal can hardly fail. “I talked with Hauptmann in the death house yesterday. He looked well and his spirits were high. “He complained that Justice Trench- ard in charging the Flemington jury entirely neglected to mention the evi- dence presented by defense witnesses, and Hauptmann felt that the higher court would recognize this injustice. “Hauptmann said that if a new trial is granted, he will name two men who stole a letter and two application forms from his pockets. He believes that they copied his handwriting from these in writing the ransom notes. “Hauptmann told me yesterday that there is some similiarity in the hand- writing of the ransom note and his own, but he said that he expects to prove not only that he did not write them, but possibly divulge the identi- ties of the ransom note authors.” . Security (Continued From First Page.) grants only to States which pay sim- ilar pensions, matching the State pay- ment to provide a total of $30 & month. Senator Russell told the Senate 15 States have not yet enacted old-age gratuity laws and that some, includ- ing Georgia, must amend their con- stitutions before they can levy taxes for that purpose. He convinced the Senate the Federal Government should pay something to persons in those States while they are drafting | their State laws. The District government now faces the problem of raising additional ‘rev- enue to meet its share of the social security program, the amount to de- pend on the terms Congress finally agrees upon in the local old-age pen- sion, blind pension and unemployment House has passed these three local bills in a form that would require the District to raise about $1,800,000 when the program is in full operation, in the opinion of District officials.

The tax goes up from 1 per cent in 1936 to a maximum of 3 per centsfor 1938 and thereafter. When a State enacts an unemployment insurance law an employer may deduct the local tax from the Federal levy up to a limit of 90 per cent of the Federal tax. Title 10. Authorizes $3,000,000 for the coming year for Federal grants for | pensions to the blind, the United States matching State payments up to ‘l maximum of $15 per person a month.

A motion by Hastings to strike out entirely the compulsory Federal old- age annuity section was defeated, 5 to 63, As the bill passed several Senators, !ncludinl McCarran of Nevada, Long of Louisiana and George of Georgia, were repeating the fear expressed earlier in the debate that some fea- tures of the bill are of doubtful consti- tutionality. They had reference chietly to titles 2 and 8, setting up the com- pulsory Federal old-age annuity plan, based on pay roll taxes in industry. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, admit- ting that the constitutionality of those sections might be guestioned, said he would vote for the bill because the remainder of the measure would not be invalidated if those sections should be held unconstitutional. Senator Lonergan, Democrat, of Connecticut led a successful fight in striking from the bill the Senate Finance Committee amendment which would have allowed the Federal Treas- ury to sell old-age annuity insurance to individual citizens, in the form of bonds. This was intended to benefit farmers, professional men or others who are not regularly employed in industry. Makes Direct Grants. Aside from the compulsory, con- tributory old-age pension system and the unemployment insurance pro- gram—both of which are to be brought about by pay roil taxes—the bill makes direct Federal grants to the States for a variety of welfare purposes, amount- ing to’ more than $98,000,000 for the coming fiscal year. 750,000 is to be distributed to the States as the Federal share of gratuity | pensions to those too old to build up their own retirement reserves through the taxing plan. Other purposes for which grants are | to be made from the Treasury for the | coming fiscal year follow: For home care of dependent children, $24,750,- 000; maternal and child health, $3,- 800,000; crippled children, $2,850,000; child welfare, $1,500,000; vocational rehabilitation, $841,000; public health, $8,000,000; aid to the blind, $3,000,000, | and the District is eligible to share in " HAMILTON 19 jewels . . . 14-kt. yellow gold filled raised gold numeral dial.

The six Senators who voted against the security bill on its final passage were Austin of Vermont, Hale of Maine, Hastings of Delaware, Metcalf of Rhode Island and Townsend of Delaware, Republicans, and Moore of New Jersey, Democrat, Two Demo- crats, Senators Byrd and Glass of Virginia, were paired against the bill and two other Democrats—Tydings of Maryland and Gore of Oklahoma—an- swered “present” when their names were called. U. S. Employes Excluded. Government employes are not ine cluded in the contributory old-age pension plan, to be built up by a tax on employes and employers or in the unemployment insurance section of the bill. The Federal Government already has in operation a contributory civil service retirement system. In the unemployment insurance section of the bill the definition of employment excludes service performed for the United States Government. In the local unemployment insurance bill, however, the House has provided that per diem workers for the District gov- ernment would be included, with the District government paying the re- quired tax as an employer. ‘With regard to the old-age gratui- ties that are to be given as a grant to persons too old to build up an annuity under the contributory old-age tax, the pending local bill directs the Commisisoners to determine the need for such a gratuity in each case. The Federal Government will make a grant of $15 a month toward a similar pay- ment by the State, although the Sen- ate bill also allows the Federal pay- ment to be made for two years in States which have no local law as yet. ‘The pensions to be built up by em- ployes in industry through the pay roll taxes will range from $10 to $85 a month, depending on length of service and compensatio: Before Selling Investigate the Prices We Pay for OLD GOLD Jewelry of every description, bridge- work, silver No matter how old or dilapidated any of foregoing ar- ticles might be, you will be grestly gurprised at the cash prices paid y us.
