J., Feb. 12. (UP) With words that scorch ed and in the name of all laws written and unwritten, District Attorney Wilentz today demand ed that Bruno Hauptmann be executed as the worst criminal of all time. The fiery attorney raged at Prisoner Hauptmann from the first moment court opened until dusk when he asked for a verdict cf first degree murder. Tomor row the calm, impartial voice of Justice Trenchard will be heard in an instruction to the jury on the points of the law. The case will nrobably ; be given to the jury about noon. Circumstantial Evidence Wilentz explained tnat cir cumstantial evidence means that no one actually saw Hauptmann climb into the Lindbergh win dow and steal the baby, but he added "we don't have to have a moving picture, of this crime. Some circumstantial evidence screams much louder than other evidence." He continued with the charge that Hauptmann "would cut out your heart with a razor, wipe it off on his sleeve, and then go upstairs to eat." The day brought to a climax one of the most sensational cases 5n the judicial history of the country. Tomorrow twelve resi dents of Flemington and the surrounding territory will decide upon the fate of the German im migrant who has been the mark of cross examination arrows for over a month. Creative Processes Are Mental States Writer-Lecturer Stein By Nelson Lansdale "My interest in young people, and in making this .tour of American universities, is to try to drum into people's heads a little common sense about writ ing, to encourage them to write what they know. You only know what you find out. You may learn other things, but you don't luiow them. Knowledge is the absolute thing what you know," said Miss Gertrude Stein, distinguished author and friend of the leading literary and artistic figures of the day. The author of "Four Saints in Three Acts" and the "Autobio graphy of Alice B. Toklas," ran her stubby fingers through her close-clipped iron-grey hair. "People who have these theories about writing," she continued in her even, resonant voice, "espe cially automatic writing, are af flicted with a lack of common sense. Critics These critics have a sense orilv nf what they've learned from what they've been told they never go back to them selves to prove anything. If they did, they'd realize that writers form within themselves the material, and then, after it has been formed within their minds, let it rush forth like wa ter over a dam. . .

GERTRUDE STEIN GIVES TALK HERE English Department and Ameri can Association of University Women Sponsor Lecture. Literary Bohemian Gertrude Stein lectured, before a self-conscious audience in crowded, un comfortable - Gerrard hall last night on "The Gradual Making of the Making of Americans." In the talk, given under the joint sponsorship of the Univer sity English department and the American Association of Uni versity Women, Miss Stein gave a personal historical account of the writing of her famous book, "The Making of Americans, and the gradual development of her unique style until it reached its culmination of perfection in "Tender Buttons." : The famous author peppered her lecture with witticisms arid personal interpretations of the motivating and guiding forces in the great literary epochs. After her formal lecture, Miss Stein entertained a large group in the lounge of Graham Me morial, answering questions of philosophic, literary and esthe tic import in her customary brilliant, rational manner. they can think, but it is not au tomatic because the writing down is not creation. Creative processes go on in the mind.

"That's it," said Miss Stein, and her deep-throated hearty laugh boomed through the little room in the Inn, "Not 'Swink,' but 'Swank.'"

Will aban don ship as soon 'as we land on water somewhere within 20 miles of Point Sur. Probably 10 miles at sea." Those were the prosaic words with which Commander Herbert V. Wiley, skipper of the Macon and one of the three survivors of the U.S.S. Akron disaster oft! New Jersey April 3, 1933, re ported to his superior officers. None of the 34 warships with which the Macon was maneouv ering was within sight as she dropped toward the sea, rain swept and tossed by a heavy swell. The scene aboard the 785-foot gas bag could only be' conjectured, by those ashore. ' Ships to Rescue The drum of the Macon's en gines could be heard at Point Sur until 5 :40. Then it stopped abruptly. Navy vessels were seen racing northward to the ' rescue. The air was hlled with radio messages. Merchant ves sels m nearby waters offered aid. Navy ships flashed crisp orders as they raced under forced draft to the scene. The Macon, unless rent asun der by a contact with the water, as was her predecessor, the Ak ron, might float indefinitely. and life preservers enough for the crew of about 100 men which she usually carried Sea Was Smooth The fleet commander radioed that the sea was smooth with heavy swells, and that a steady was not in sight of any vessel -when she fell. The U. S. S. Pennsylvania, one of the vessels , nearest the Macon, reported at 6 :32 p. m P. S. T., that it sighted red rockets which may have been sent up by the Macon.

Reports of faulty construction were quickly denied by naval authori ties.
