News Review of Current t Events the World Over * Lindbergh Baby Kidnaping Brought Near Solution by Arrest?President's Board Offers Plan for Settling the Textile Strike. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? by Western Newspaper Union. WITH the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann in New York city, the government agents and state police ap peared to be well on the way toward solving the Lindbergh baby kidnaping and murder mystery. The prisoner, a German alien thirty-five years old, was nabbed after he had given to a filling station man a $10 gold certificate that was found to be part of the ransom paid the kidnapers by Dr. John F. Con don?"Jafsle"?over a cemetery wall in a vain attempt to get the baby re turned. In Hauptmann's garage in the Bronx the police found $13,750 which also was identified as part of the $50, 000 Jafsle had paid. Then circum stantial evidence rapidly was gathered to prove Hauptmann was one of the guilty men, and he was partially identi fied by Doctor Condon, as well as by a taxi cab driver who said the prisoner was the man who gave him $1 eleven days after the kidnaping to carry a note to Jafsle. Officials of the department of Jus tlee announced that Hauptmann s Hand writing tallied with that of ransom notes sent by the kidnapers. Police Comihissloner John F. O'Ryan, who made the official announcement of the developments Jointly for New York and New Jersey authorities as well as for the federal Department of Justice, declared that Hauptmann ad mitted under severe questioning that he had been employed as a carpenter near the Lindbergh home at Hopewell. O'Ryan also asserted that police had established that Hauptmann had had access to the lumber yard In which lumber was found bearing a peculiar mark, similar to that found on the ladder left at the scene of the kidnap ing. Hauptmann, he added, Is in this country illegally. He Is married and has a ten-year-old son. Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, who were in Los Angeles, were said to have known In advance that the arrest was expected. They secluded themselves and would say nothing for publication. Federal judge w. calvxn CHESNUT of Baltimore handed down an opinion holding that the farm moratorium amendment to the federal bankruptcy act passed by congress last June Is unconstitutional. This amendment, known as the Frazier Lemke law, authorizes debt-ridden farmers to go into federal courts and reduce their obligations. The Judge held that it violates the rights of creditors as outlined in the fourteenth amendment to the Consti tution and that it seeks to supersede the rights of state courts. The court pointed out that each state has laws to protect both the creditor and the debtor. The Frazier Lemke act, it was stated, wiped away the safeguards for creditors and amounted to confiscation of property. PEACE in the textile industry was almost in sight after the President's special mediation board reported to him its plan for ending the bloody strike that has been going on for weeks. The report was carried to Mr. Roosevelt at Hyde Park by Secre tary of Labor Perkins and Gov. John G. Wi nant, chairman of the board. It proposed the following four point program: L Appointment by tkn D.ool,l/in? of a tor. Gov. Wlnant '^boT rela't IoT. board of three members to settle all =as WMtom-at union j^cogniUoa.&Lthe several textile mills and to rmndle all other employer-employee disputes In the Industry. 2. An Investigation by the Depart ment of Labor and the federal trade commission of the textile Industry's ability to meet the higher wage pay ments which the union is demanding. 3. A moratorium on the "stretch out" system, whereby, the union claims, employers are adding to the work load of their employees; during the moratorium the textile labor rela tions board shall appoint a textile work assignment control board to plan a permanent control of the stretchout. 4. An Investigation by the Depart ment of Labor Into the various classi fications of work in the textile Indus try and the wage scale for each classi fication. President Roosevelt was highly pleased with the 10,000-word report of the board and expressed his hope that It would show the way to end the ?trike. F. J. Gorman, leader of the WML strike, submitted to the union's execu tive council the question of having the workers return to the mills pending final arrangements. Immediately preceding these devel opments the mills bad been reopening under military protection, and In con sequence the strikers had resumed their acts of violence. There were nu merous bloody encounters between them and National Guardsmen in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and the Carolinas. In Con necticut the disorders abated and the state troops were being demobilized. Carrying out his plans for extending the strike to all branches of the tex> tile Industry, Gorman sent out orders for 20,000 dyers to quite their Jobs. The union workers were still en raged at Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Nit A administrator, for his attack on the strike at a meeting of code authorities in jxew lorn. He charged that the walkout was In "absolute violation" of an agreement made by the United Tex tile Workers with the government last June. This tbf union leaders flatly de nied, and they demanded the resigna tion ot Johnson. Gorman said: "We will not Join in submitting any Issue to the NRA as long as General Johnson is administrator or occupies a position of determining Influence in the recovery administration. We said he ought to resign and we meant it Since that is our view, we could not Join in any submission to the NRA while he has the power to make NRA decisions." If present plans are carried out, a quarter of a million cotton garment workers will go on strike throughout the country on October 1. This strike is called, according to the union lead ers, because the manufacturers refused to comply with NRA's order to reduce the weekly working hours from 40 to 38. ONE of the sharpest thorns in the side of the Roosevelt administra tion will not be In the next congress to give pain to the New Dealers. James M. Been or Pennsylvania, leading authority on the Con st i t u t i o n, has an nounced he will not seek re-election be cause congress has become "a rubber stamp." He had been renominated, but pre fers not to run. How ever, the administra lion win noi De re J. M. Beck iieved from his at tacks, tor he Intends to continue them in the courts. "I am not retiring from public life," Mr. Beck explains. "This is no time for any citizen to lessen his activities in defense of our form of government. I am retiring from congress because I believe I can help in this great cause more effectively in the federal courts, where I have practiced for more than fifty years, than in congress, where the minority is gagged and reduced to im potence. "Our form of government can only be saved by restoration of the Repub lican party to power, and 1 hope with my pen and voice to serve that party as effectually in the ranks as in con gress." T 1 TTSCONSIN'S state primary was ? T especially interesting Decause or, the tact that the Democrats polled the largest vote by a wide mar gin, the La Follette Progressives and the Republicans trailing. The Democrats re-nominated Gov. Albert G. SjWpfWiW of the New Deal. He will be op posed by Phil La Follette, who received the Progressive nomination without contest, art! Howard T. Greene, Repub lican, who defeated former Governor Zimmerman and J. N. Tlttemore. John N. Callahan, former national committeeman, was named for the sen ate by the Democrats, and John B. Chappelle was the unopposed choice or the Republicans. Senator Robert M. La Follette, Jr., was of course nomi nated by his new party. RCSSIA was duly admitted to mem bership In the League of Nations, only three rotes In opposition helug cast, and then was given a permanent seat In the council of the league. Max im Lltrlnor, Soviet commissar for for eign affairs, pledged his nation to work through the league for world peace. Declaring flatly that Russia would give up no attribute of Its social sys tem, Lltrlnor warned the assembly that "peace and security cannot be or ganized on the baa la of shifting sands and verbal promises." It should be established, he said, "that any state la entitled to demand reasonable se curity from Its near and remote neigh bors." This, however, should never be Interpreted as distrust, Lltvlnov added. Next day, after a debate on plans to end the war between Paraguay and Bolivia, spokesmen for Russia private ly asserted that the danger of war In the Far East has lessened, relations between Japan and Russia having Im proved. NOME, the once famous gold city of Alaska, lies In ruins, having been swept by flames with damage estimated at {3,000,000. Four hundred persons were rendered homeless, and most of the food supplies were burned up. Relief vessels with food and med ical supplies were rushed to the place an'd there was no fear of shortage. The government at Washington granted $50,000 in direct assistance and planned other relief measures. The citizens were hurriedly procuring lumber and other materials In the hope of at least partly rebuilding the city before It Is Isolated by winter ice. JAMES A. MOFFETT, federal hous ing commissioner, announced thut on November 1 he would begin releas ing funds for the construction of at least S million now hnmoo Concerning the home modernization and repair phase of the program, the administrator declared that more than 1,000 communities have set up or are setting up committees to direct the program locally. He predicted that by Thanksgiving more than 1*000 munici palities will have established such com mittees. Financial support, he said, has come from 7,000 banks, and such loans have been made In all states but three. "From Held reports we estimate that one million dollars a day of loans are being made under our plan; and from experience in past community modern ization campaigns we are sure that double that amount of cash business is being done." TOBACCO, which Is the third largest crop in the United States, has al ways been without an organized fu tures market. But It has one now, for the New York Tobacco Exchange, Inc., on Broad street, has opened for business after two years of prelimi nary organization work in which the federal department of agriculture co operated. The contract basis Is United States standard flue cured type 12, grade B4F. There are nine types and numerous grades deliverable under specified dif ferentials under the form of contract that has been adopted. The unit of trading is 10,000 pounds and quota tions are In cents and five one-hun dredths of a cent per pound. Delivery points have been established to date at Norfolk and Newport News, Va., and Louisville, Ky. NEW YORK'S city assembly has adopted a lottery scheme for the purpose of raising relief funds, a way having been devised to circumvent the I law. The business men and the clergy are protesting violently. PREMIER MUSSOLINI repeatedly ? asserts that Italy wants no more war, but he is taking no chances. In an order designed to make Italy an "armed nation," his cabinet has direct ed that all males above the age of eight and below thirty-three, shall receive military training. At the same time It was revealed that Italy's farming Industry will be brought into strong national organiza tion under the corporative state sys tem, to be Inaugurated November 10. The working class will be welded to gether In one group and the owner manager class In another. The two classes will be united In the central corporations. Two major national co-ordinating bodies have been created for the sepa rate groups. These are the Fascist Confederation of Agriculturists, for the owner-managers, and the Fascist Con federation of Agricultural Workers. If Italy does have a war In the near ! _future. lt Is likely, to be^ with, Jugo slavia. Just now~tTTe two* nations are 4 quarreling bitterly. Mussolini Is ?spe- j cially vexed because Jugoslavia is har boring 2,500 Austrian Nazis close to the border and not curbing their plans for another putsch. CA.

The total thus to be paid out will approxi mate $711,500,000. W l-AWSON LITTLE, a husky San ?

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN ' By THORNTON W. BURGESS ? AN UNDESERVED BAD NAME I ? PROM somewhere In the Old s " Orchard sounded a clear, "Kow-kow kow-kow-kow-kow." It was quite un like any verse Peter had heard that spring and he exclaimed, "Who's that?" "That's Cuckoo," said Kitty the Cat bird. "Do you mean to say you don't know Cuckoo?" "Of course I know him," retorted Peter. "I had forgotten the sound of his voice, that's all. Tell me. Is It true that Mrs. Cuckoo Is no better than Sally Sly the Cowblrd, and lays her eggs In the nests of other birds? I've heard that said of her." "There Isn't a word of truth In It," declared Kitty emphatically. "She builds her nest, such as It Is, and she looks after her own children. The Cuckoos have been given a bad name because of some good-for-nothing con sins of theirs who live across the ocean where Bully the English Spar row belongs, and who, if all reports are true, really are no better than Sally Sly. It's funny how a bad name sticks. The Cuckoos have been accused of stealing the eggs of other birds, but I've never known them to do it, and I've lived neighbor to them for a long time. As a matter of fact they 1 are mighty useful birds. Farmer i Brown ought to be tickled to death I that Mr. and Mrs.' Cuckoo have come ' back to the Old Orchard this year. 1 i )o you see that eob-webby nest with , ill those hairy caterpillars on It and , iround tt up In that tree?" Peter replied that he did, and that , le had seen a great many nests Just j Ike It and had noticed how the cater hilars ate all the leaves near them. "I'll venture to say that you won't see many leaves eaten around that >est," replied Kitty. "Those are called ent caterpillars and they do an awful ot of damage. I can't bear them my lelf because they are so hairy. Very ew birds will touch them'. But Cuckoo ikes them. There he comes now; iust watch him." A long slim, dove-like appearing )Ird alighted close to the caterpillars' lest. Above he was brownish gray ivlth Just a little greenlsji tinge. Ileneath he wns white. His wings were reddish brown. Ills tall was a little onger than that of?Mourner the Dove. Ihe outer feathers were black tipped with white, while the middle feathers were the color of his back. The upper half of his bill was black, but the un der half was yellow and from this he was called the Yellow-billed Cuckoo, lie has a cousin with an all black bill who Is called the Black-billed Cuckoo. Cuckoo made no sound, but began to pick oft the hairy caterpillars and swallow them. When he had eaten all those outside, he tore open the" nest and picked out those Inside, then he flew off as silently as he had come. ?, T. W. Burgess.?W.NU Service.
