Jan. 15. —(AP) — Kruno Hauptmann’s lawyers sought an eleventh hour reprieve today to snatch the man convicted as the Lindbergh baby killer from the shad ow or ihe electric chair. The attorneys, losing" in Federal hat«ons nn pus proceedings, planned to apply to Governor Harold G. Hoffman There were definite indications, one or them said, that a reprieve would halt the electrocution, set for 8 p. m. Friday. Ilepoits concerning a reprieve, con lantly in the -background for several days, gained wide circulation after a long night. conference of defense counsel. Earlier the Attorney General David T. Wilentz said he was “re liably informed” the governor would grant a reprieve. Hauptmann asked for a writ of habeas corpus yesterday; 68-year-old Judge Warren J. Davis refused it. Hauptmann asked for a stay of exe- 1 <union. This, too, was denied. The hopelessness of further re course was voiced by two members of Hauptmann’s five-man legal staff. Said one, who asked that his name be withheld: "This decision by Judge Davis is the end.” Said Nejil Burkinshaw, (Conlinued on Pago Four.)

Not all of the 39 states which have some sort of State eld age pension laws are sharing in the Federal old age benefits fund, •since not all of these laws conform to the requirements set up in the Fed eral law. Commissioner Fletcher said. But between 25 and 30 of the states arc already sharing in the fund, ac cording to the latest information ob tained, he indicated.

STATE MIGHT NOT SEEK BEARD BACK North Carolina Escaped Slayer Accused of Kill ing In Texas Raleigh, Jan. 15 (AP)—Dwight Beard. 25-year-old Caldwell county man, who has rolled up an amazing career of crime, including a convic tion for first degre murder in North Carolina, was under arrest in Dallas, Texas, today facing another murder charge, which may mean he will not be returned to serve a life sentence in State Prison. Beard had been free, as a fugitive since August 27, when he was caught in Dallas yesterday. C. M. Waynick, chairman of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, and Oscar Pitts, acting director of the penal division, said this morning North Carolina would place a "detainer” against Beard in Dallas. Waynick said it was indicated a. charge of murder would he pressed against Beard in Texas. In this event no attempt will be made to return him here unless he is acquitted or receives a sentence of less than life imprisonment, the term he faces here as a rsult of a commutation of a death 7»cnalty imposed for the killing of Augustus Bounous, Valdese merch ant in 1932. In Dallas, Beard steadfastly denied the accusation he killed John R. Rob erts, former detective, on December 23. HOLD RALEIGH MAN IN KIDNAP CHARGE Greenville, N.

Jan. 15 (AP) —The Japanese delegates tonight an nounced their withdrawal from the international naval confer ence. Their decision, signifying the end of the five-power discussions seeking to effect an agreement on naval limi •at ions to replace the expiring Wash ington and London treaties was an nounced following a “showdown ses sion of the conference. The discussions have been dead- j locked on a Japanese demand for j fleet equality and a “common upper j limit” of tonnage. The four other great powers— Great Britain, the United States, Italy and France expect to meet tomorrow to agree upon opening a new four power parley without the Japanese. Japan’s withdrawal followed formal rejection of Japanese demands for equality bv the other delegations. Admiral Osami Nagano, the chief Japanese delegate, told newspaper men: ‘Since other delegations have made j it clear they cannot. accept our pro-j posal for a, common upper limit, no j other choice is left for us than to leave the conference.’’ UNITED STATES DECLINES TO DISCUSS JAP DEMANDS Washington, Jan. 15.—(AP)— The United States refused at London to day to discuss Japanese demands for equality in naval strength. The text of the address by Norman Davis, American delegate to the naval conference, was released at the State Department here. He set forth the United States gov ernment’s conviction that the prin ciple of a common upper limit “would not serve as a basis for negotiation and agreement.” This principle has been insisted up on by the Japanese delegation as a basis for any new naval treaty. “The United States is unable to ac cept the principle of the common up per limit as the basis for an agree ment,” Davis added.

There were no survivors. Coroner J. C. Crawford held that the 14 passengers and crew of three -12 men, four women and a child— died ‘by accidental airplane crash.” A Department of Commerce official predicted the cause of the disaster probably never would be known. The last of the bodies was brought out of the swamp land at 8:45 a. m. on flatbed wagons drawn by mules struggling in deep mud.

HASH 161tV11,1, Raleigh, Jan. 15.—The millions of consumers of pork, flour, sugar, cot ton and tobacco in North Carolina and elsewhere who are the ones who really paid the $200,000,000 in im pounded processing taxes which the United States Supreme Court has just ordered returned to the manufactur ers, also the more than one billion dollars which has been paid and col lected by the government, are not ex pected to get any of this money back in their pockets. The betting in poli tical circles here is none of this $200,- 000,000 will ever get any nearer to the public than the pockets of the manu facturers —unless some of the people who have paid this tax happen to be stockholders in meat packing com panies, flour mills, cotton mills, to bacco factories, sugar refineries, and so forth. For with these millions of dollars coming back to them, which they have already collected from the retailers and the retailers from their customers, it is expected that many of the manufacturers will be able to declare some fat dividends —provide they do not decide to put these re turned taxes into the “sinking fun” or les it in their own pockets. So far as can be learned here, the meat packers are still collecting the proceessing tax on pork from the re tailers —Jand the retailers from the public—despite the Supreme Court's AAA decision. And, according to far mers in this section, the meat pack ers also collected the tax from them when they bought their hogs by de ducting the tax of $2.25 per 100 pounds from the selling price.

S. In Washington, Jan. 15 (Al’) Chairman Nyc, of the Senate Mun itions Committee, asserted today that Woodrow Wilson ‘falsified” in chronicling some of the circum stances surrounding American en trance into the World War. He attacked Wilson’s postwar story that he did not know at the time this country went into the struggle of se cre treaties beween the Allies for the redistribution of Europe. Nye and Senator Clark, Democrat, Missouri, joined in asserting that docu nients they had read in State Depart ment files and else where, but which they said could not be published, prov ed both the wartime President and his secretary of state, Robert Lansing, "knew of the treaties.” “Wilson and Lansing were fully ap praised by Balfour of the secret trea ties to which the British were com mitted,” Nye said. Clark had charged that Colonel Edward M. House, confiden tial advisor to Wilson, agreed to bring the United States into the war with out the knowledge of Congress. Clark’s thrust was based on an agreement between House and Sir Ed ward Grey, British foreign secretary, for a peace conference. House had backed the proposal with a threat that if Germany refused to agree, the United States “probably” would join the Allies. Evidence that England jeopardized wartime relations with this country at one point by publishing a “black list” of “unfriendly” American indus trial firms was also introduced. Italy Claims Defeating Os Ethiopians Concentration For Attack On South Front Broken Up; Sanctions Planned (By The Associated Press) Italy claimed today that her south ern armies had crushed a gathering Ethiopian drive on the Dolo front, “repulsing and pursuing” the enemy. A communique from Marshal Bad oglio, the Italian high commander in Africa, said the Somaliland forces had driven back the armies of Ras Desta Demtu in a “vigorous action,” but added: “Fighting continues along the en tire front. Our losses so far have not been serious.” Nothing was said about Ethiopian losses. The British cabinet met in London to instruct Foreign Secretary An thony Eden on his course regarding fresh penalties against Italy at the League of Nations Council session Monday. Authc ritative sources predicted that when Eden arrived at Geneva He vvould carry pledges of British participation in further sanctions against the aggressor nation in the East African war.

(Central Press) ROOSEVELT ASSAYS^ Used Words of Old Hickory To Attack Foes; Message Was Attacked By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Jan. 15. President Roosevelt’s Jackson Day speech is worth study, as an artistic piece of oratory. There was more to it than appears at first glance. It surprised many folk because, in comparison with his address to Con gress, a few days previously, it was so free from criticism of his political and economic opponents. In his congressional talk the White House tenant mercilessly lambasted his own foes. At the Jackson Day banquet he said scarcely a word con cerning them, but excoriated the in terests which fought Old Hickory a century ago. GOSSIP Inside gossip is that the executive mansion got none too favorable a re action to the congressional speech. The official account is that the President received hundreds of mes sages, commenting on it, and that all but a handful were commendatory.

RULING MM Beginning To Fear They Lost More Than They Gained in AAA Blow ■ Ml..— By LESLIE EICHKL Central Press Staff Writer New York, Jan. 15. —Conservative interests are beginning to wonder) whether they won a victory on the Supreme Court’s AAA decision. The doubt arises over something far more disturbing than processing taxes or government regulation—inflation and higher taxes. The ease with which a two-billion dollar bonus bill is passed indicates inflationary sentiment, these conser vatives hold. Furthermore, the farmer, seeing all roads to crop regulation and price guarantees blocked, turns to the “easy road’’ of inflation. An anomaly exists in that a gov ernment may hand out money head over heels if it gets no value return (Continued on u.
