LINDBERGHS' YULE ON STORMY SEAS Freighter Bearing Famous Family to England Now 1,500 Miles Out. BACKGROUND— The kidnaping, and subsequent death of infant son of Charles A. Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lind- bergh in March, 1932, represents climazx in American crime. For more than two years no progress on its solution was revealed; in Septem- ber, 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was arrested, last February he was con- victed. Appealing through various courts, Hauptmann has been denied every recourse except that of New Jersey Board of Pardons. Gov. Hofman, member of board, has shown in- creased interest in case in recent weeks, visited Hauptmann in cell. Last Sunday the Lindberghs un- expectedly left for England, were reportedly alarmed over threats against second son. By the Associated Press.

Christmas on Sea. Before sailing from New York early Bunday, ship’s provisions were made for a Christmas tree, decorations, logs for a fireplace Yule blaze and turkey dinner. Weather studies by the United States Meteorological Bureau here, however, ‘told of prevailing Winter storms, which would cause the 436-| foot freighter to pitch and toss con- siderably under Wintes winds and seas.

The freighter should be about 1,500 miles from New York. It was announced by the line that the ship would not touch at Cobh, Ireland, since no passengers are booked for the Irish port. Under present calculations, and barring unforeseen bad weather, the American Importer should arrive at Liverpool December 30 and Manchester New Year eve. was not known where the Lindberghs will disembark.

By the Associated Press. The Roosevelt administration was again under fire today from the American Liberty League and the Na- tional Republican Congressional Com- mittee. From the league came a call for a 12-point *“constitutional recovery program, designed to put the Govern- ment’s house in order” and ‘“check the trend toward dictatorship.” The Congressional Committee charged relief money was being used “to build up the New Deal political machine.” “Gigantic Waste” Assailed. In outlining its program, the league attacked Democratic legislation and policies, assailed “gigantic waste” and demanded a balanced budget and a “sound” monetary system. A state- ment asserted the league would con- tinue to oppose measures “which con- tribute to the overthrow of our form of Government.” It proposed Congress carry out the following program: 1. Reduce expenditures to the level of Treasury receipts. 2. A “moderate” appropriation for direct relief for a limited period, with provision thereafter for loans to States. 3. Stop “boondoggling,” but continue a program of “productive” public works on & “greatly reduced” scale. 4. Revise revenue laws which are aimed at redistribution of wealth, broaden present base of taxation and slash expenditures to permit. “the lowering of taxes.” 5. Plan for revision of monetary laws “along sound lines” and reject inflationary currency proposals and “measures extending political control over the banking system.” Economic Planning Opposed. 6. Refuse to extend or re-enact N. R defeat all “economic planning” measures and pass bills necessary to “withdraw Government from compe- tition with private business.” 7. Repeal “death sentence” in the utility holding company act and curb activities of the Tennessee Valley Au- thority “in so far they encroach upon the field of private industry.” 8. Study and amend the social se- curity act, which “infringes upon con- stitutional limitations,” postponing meanwhile the imposition of taxes to pay unemployment insurance and old- age pensions. 9. Amend agricultural adjustment act “with a view to elimination of methods in conflict with the Consti- tution” and repeal the potato control act. 10. Revise reciprocal tariff act to require congressional ratification of trade treaties negotiated by the Presi- dent. 11. Investigate “entire field of exec- utive usurpation of legislative power” and overhaul “the vast bureaucracy created by executive order.” 12. Oppose constitutional ments which “would overthrow the dual form of government or break down the division of authority among the executive, legislative and judicial | branches.” their plunge into ice-covered s;nl Creek to rescue a six-year-old boy from drowning.

HOBE SOUND, Fla., December 26.— Amelia Earhart Putnam, vacationing here yesterday with George Palmer Putnam, her husband, has as a Christ- mas wish for women the hope that there will be “no legal differentiation between the sexes at all.” If & woman wants to be a coal miner, the woman flyer said, she shouldn’t be kept from it. And if that same woman had housework to do the husband should help with it. Mrs. Putnam said some Florida laws concerning women are “cruel.” She said she has been told that married women can’t sue in court here without the consent of their hus- bands, a married woman can’t will her property as she wishes and that prop- erty laws are confiscatory as far as married women are concerned.

By the Assoclated Press. ‘The country merchant—from time immemorial the financial backbone of many & farm community—soon may | be relieved of the necessity for grant- ing long-term credit to his customers. Gov. W. I. Meyers of the Farm Credit Administration predicted today the merchant will get cash on the nail as a result of the rapidly growing business of production credit associa- tions, or farmers will be able to bor- row from banks and other institu- tions. Announcing that short-term loans to farmers in 1935 aggregated $517,~ 000,000, of which $210,000,000 was lent by production credit associations, Myers said: “Production credit associations, | numbering 560, doubled their volume of business in most sections of the country. The heavy demand for these loans indicates that the time is ap- proaching when hundreds of millions of dollars of merchant credit and time purchases obtained by farmers each year will be shifted to cash financing _through production credit assocla- tions, banks and other institutions equipped to handle farmers’ short- term needs on a business basis at & reasonable cost.” et orseoo ™ ANNAPOLIS HOTELE: &% Hobwate hented bt gt e s HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS 2 257REDUCTIONS Gxamples of Batgain Round Tip Farés. nmw:ulgm pfi 1835 (tooverl 1.00 5 amend- | Recalling the 1934 congressional | press on people who had unwittingly | that relief money came only | The statement also charged that | Dies Suddenly DR.
