He's examining the lumber from Bruno Hauptmann's demolished garage in seeking further evidence to link the Bronx carpenter with the actual abduction of the Lind bergh baby.

FATE OF RECOVERY PROGRAM RESTS WITH SUPREME COURT , AS FALL TERM IS CONVENED Validity of Section 7-A of Code in Balance as Weirton I Steel Defends Company Union at Wilmington, Del. , f * V WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. (UP). One of the most momentous terms in the history oY the U. S. supreme court was opened yesterday with a docket including cases which will put major phases of the ad ministration's recovery program to a final constitutional test. The 1934 term began with the traditional ceremonies. Before it ends some policies of the New Deal either will be placed beyond legal question or will be held un constitutional. The term also was made mo mentous by the fact that it will be the last held in the marble and gilt chamber in the capitol. Next fall the court will move into its white marble temple across the Capitol Plaza. Only eight justices attended the opening. Justice Willis C. Var Devanter was absent, due to the recent death of his wife. Mem bers of the tribunal appeared in good health as they marched sin gle file into the chamber.

Steel, mightiest and most for midable of America's industries, comes into court represented by the Weirton Steel company to de fend its system of company union ism, and to refute the govern ment's contention, that its com pany union is a violation of the collective bargaining features of the NRA. The government has summoned 50 witnesses, mostly from the mill towns vwhere the Weirton plants are located—Stetibenville, Ohio, Clarksburg and Weirton, W. Va. Workers of the defendant com pany will come to tell their story, charging the Weirton management with having coerced workers to vote for the comipany union rep resentatives. Another group of workers, called by the defendant, will tes tify that the comrpany union rep resentatives are the uncoerced choice of the majority of the workers and that are outside union would be detrimental.

Rate of $1.60 on Each $100 Valuation Is Same as Last Year's MAYOR APPOINTED PURCHASING AGENT Although the total revenue an ticipated for the several depart ments of city government had i not been computed today, collec- 1 tion of 1934-'35 taxes was be- ] gun by R. R. Arledge, city clerk 1 and tax collector, on the basis of 1 a levy of $1.60 for each $100 of valuation. i This is the same rate that was 1 in effect during the last fiscal I year, Mayor A. V. Edwards say- ' ing that fixed operating costs, school expenses and debt service < charges w.ere such as to prohibit a change in the rate. The three M principal levies comprising then total rate are: Operating ex penses, 71 cents; schools, 10 i cents, and debt service, 79 cents. A valuation of $6,975,646 was I reported by the tax collector's of- i fice as compared with a valua- < tion of $7,304,090 last year. This J reduction will in itself largely re duce the city's revenue, but city officials expressed confidence that by exercising economy they ] will be able to meet expenses. < Budget figures in detail will be j available within a few days, it ' was said. . 1 It was announced also that the 1 board of commisisoners has ap- • pointed Mayor Edwards as pur- 1 chasing agent, but that purchases , made by him will not be binding : on the city until approved by the board. All purchases will be made ' by requisition, it was said, so ! that an accurate check can be kept on all expenditures.

H. Brent Schaeffer brought his second message in the series of services being held at the local church. The speaker, used as his subject, "Crucifying! the Fleah," basing his remarks on the words of I'aul recorded in Galatians 5:24: "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." In the course of his mes sage ;he speaker said in part: "I am not much concerned with the processes whereby God made man of the dust of the ground, nor as to how long it was before man came into being. I can be lieve nothing else than that God made man of the du9t of the ground and breathed into his nos trils the breath of life and ne was then a living soul.

Todd, Clemson College senior, accidentally fell to his death from a sixth-floor window ledge of a downtown hotel here Saturday night, a coroner's jury found Monday. Body of the youth, who came here with other students to see the Clemson-Georgia Tech game Sat urday, was found early Sunday on the third floor court roof of the hotel. Police investigated possibil ity of foul plap. Two witnesses came forward yesterday to testify that they saw Todd come out the window of his sixth floor room, walk along the ledge to the next window, and then attempt to return only to fall three stories to the court roof. Time of the accident was fixed at about 10 p. m. Saturday. Todd had been locked in his room by fellow students who said he was in no condition to go out on the streets. PLAN TO TRY HAUPTMANN MURDER COUNT Is Identified as Man Tend ering Gold Certificate on February 4 SAY 'UNIMPORTANT' WITNESSES QUIZZED TRENTON, Oct. 2.—(UP).— Belief that Bruno Richard Haupt mann had an accomplice passing Lindbergh Ransom money was ex pressed for the first time today by Colonel Norman H. Schwartz coff, state police head. He said William Reilly, super intendent of a lumber yard iden tified a picture of Hauptmann as the man who visited his yard with a companion February 4, 1934, to make a 40 cent pur chase of panelling. Reilly stared surprised when Hauptmann tendered a $10 gold certificate, Has companion said "never mind" producing exact change. The pair left, saying th«y would ?et the panelling later but never returned. Later developments in dicated that the certificate was a ransom note. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.— (UP).— Bruno Richard Hauptmann will bo placed on trial in New Jersey on a charge of first degree murder in the death of the Lindbergh baby, it was announced yesterday. Dis trict Attorney Samuel J. Foley of the Bronx will confer with New Jersey authorities today regard ing extradition. Foley said the conference will involve procedure to b* followed in transferring the stolid German carpenter to Flemington, N. J., where the murder trial would be held. The Bronx prosecutor; an nounced plana for the conference after Gov. A. Harry Moore of New Jersey had said that his .state plans to trjj Hauptmann before the extortion case in the Bronx is brought to trial. Attorney General David T. Wi lentz of " New Jersey personally will take charge of prosecution of Hauptmann. Wilentz conferred with Gover nor Moore and Col. ,H. Norman Schwartzkopf, chief of New Jer sey state police, before announce ment was made that New Jersey virtually is ready to take Haupt mann in custody/ At the same time District At torney Samuel J. Foley in the Bronx explained that technical difficulties will prevent trial of the prisoner on the extortion charge by October 10th, as orig inally planned. Foley has indicat ed all along that New York will not oppose a request for extradi tion of Hauptmann to the neigh boring state. Governor Moore, at Trenton, pointed out that trial of Haupt mann on a first degree murder charge in New Jersey would be the more reasonable procedure, rather than having him tried first for extortion in New York. Were Hauptmann convicted of extortion in the Bronx, the technical obsta cles to his extradition might l>e such that his removal to New Jer sey would be delayed. Four witnesses, all of whom were classed by District Attorney Foley's staff as "unimportant," were questioned last ni^ht. They were: Carl Stines, who rented a locker near that of Hauptmann at a boat club on City Island; Edward Weigold, who found an abandoned automobile said to have resembled Haupt mann's in 1932; Hans Mueller, Hauptmann'*. nephew who has been questioned before, and Wil liam Dreisacher( Joeal resident who police have sought for several city. . days.

He said 50 dirigibles could at tack Japan in two days, leaving nothing of Japan. "Japan is our worst enemy," he said.
