Hauck, Jr., of Hunterdon county, where Bruno Richard Hauptmann was convicted early last year of the murder of the Lindbergh baby, Gov ernor Hoffman said he did not be lieve he had the right to- grant an other reprieve, but that “if the bril liant Mr. Hauck and his legal advisors will advise me that I do have that right, I shall be gtajdr to exercise it.’’ Trial Called Unfair. “I am more firmly convinced than ever that Hauptmann was not given a trial in line with what we consider to be American standards of justice.” In some quarters the governor’s statement was interpreted as remov ing still further the chance that Hauptmann would be reprieved again. Attorney General David T. Wilentz and Hauck, as well as many other le gal authorities, have maintained that the power of reprieve expired long tie fore the first stay granted by the gov ernor on January 16.

With the voluntary contracts being offered in this State containing pro vision 80 percent of the growers in Virginia and South Carolina must also sign, Governor Ehringhaus said it was manifest to the committee further ef forts were futile, with Virginia un willing and South Carolina taking no such steps. The committee members “voiced their disappointment that a coopera tive and vigorous effort along volun tary control lines was at the present impossible,” the governor added.
