BURNSVILLE EAGLE VOL. 42. BURNSVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1934 NO. 29. News Review of Current Events the World Over Xindbergh Baby Kidnaping Brought Near Solution by Arrest—President’s Board Offers Plan for Settling the Textile Strike. By EDWARD W. PICKARD W ITH tbe arrest of Bruno Ulchard Hauptmann in New York clry. 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 P. Con don—“Jafsie”—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 Jafsie had paid. Then clrcum- •Btantlal 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 hy a taxi cab driver who said the prisoner was the man who gave him $1 eleven days cflsr the kidnaping to carry a •note to Jafsie. Officials of the departinom of jus tice announced that flatiptniann’s liaad- writlng tallied with that of ransom notes sent by the kidnapers. Police Commissioner John P. O’ltyan, who made the official announcement, •of the developments jointly for New York and New .Jersey authorities as well as for tbe federal Department of -Justice, declared that Hauptmann ad mitted under severe iuestloiiing that lie 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 arrei the strike to all branches of the tex tile Industry, Gorman sent out orders for 20.0(K) dyers to quite their jobs. The union workers were still en raged at Gen. Hugh S. .Tohnson, NRA administrator, for his attack on the strike at a meeting of code authorities in New York. 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 the union leaders flatly de nied, and they demanded the resigna tion of J&hnson. Gorman said: "We will not join In submitting any issue to the NRA as long as Generalj Jolin.'on is administrator or occupies a position of determining influence in the recovery administration. We said lie ought to resign and we meant it. Since that is our view, sve 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 .36. side of the Roosevelt administra tion will not be in the next congress to give pain to the New Dealers. James M. Beck of Pennsylvania, leading authority on the Con st ituti on, has an nounced he will not seek re-election be cause congress has become/ ‘“a rubber 8tamp.jlii(i ftti^had been renom/seuietr but pre- '• (lUB.W F ederal judge w. ■ calvin CHESNUT of Baltimore handed flown an opinion holding that the farm iDOratoriura amendment to the federal iiankruptcy act passed by congress last June is unconstitutional. This amendment, known as the Urasier- Lamke 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 thv rights of state courts. The court pointed out that each stave has laws to protect both the creditor and the debtor. The Crazier- Lewke act, It was stated, wiped away tht. safeguards for creditors and amounted to confiscation of property. P EACE 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, Wl- nant, chairman of the board. It proposed the i following four point program: 1. Appointment by the President of a tex- tile labor relations board of three members to settle all questions of union recognition at the several textile mills and to handle 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 permaneut 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 ills hope that It would show the way to end the strike. F, J. Gorman, leader of the strike, submitted to the union’s execu tive council the question of having the vvorkers return to the mills pending final arrangemeots. Immediately preceding these devel opments the mills had been reopening under military protection, and in con sequence the strikers had resumed their acts of violence. There were nu raerous bloody encounters between them and National Guardsmen in New England, New York, Pennsylvania. Georgia and the rarolinas, In Con necticut the disorders abated and state troops were being deiiiolilli;-P(|. Carrying cut his [ilan.-J for extending ; lieved from his at- ta:ks, for he intends to continue them in the cour s. “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 1 can help in this great cause more ellectively in the federal courts, where 1 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 I hope with my pen and voice to serve that party as effectually in the ranks as in con gress.” W ISCONSIN'S state primary was especially Interesting because of tlie fact that the Democrats polled tile largest vote by a wide mar gin, the La Follette Progressives and the Republicans trailing. The Democrats re-nominated Gov. Albert G. Sebedeman, vigorous supporter of tlie New Deal. He will be op posed by Pliil La Follette, who received the Progressive nomination without contest, and Howard T. Greene, Repub lican, who defeated former Governor Zimmerman and J. N. Tittemore. John N. Callahan, former national committeeman, was named for the sen ate by the Democrats, and John B, Chappelle was the unopposed choice of the Republicans. Senator Robert M. La Follette, Jr., was of course nomi nated by his new party, D USSIA was duly admitted to mem- IN bership in the League of Nations, only three votes in opposition being cast, and then was given a permanent seat in the council of the league. Max im Litvinov, 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, Litvinov warned the assembly that "peace and security cannot be or ganized on the basis of shifting sands and verbal promises.” It should be established, he said, "that any staie is entitled to demand reasonable se curity from its near and remote neigh bors.” This, however, should never be Interpreted as distrust, Litvinov added. Next day. after a debate on plans to end the war between Paraguay and Bolivia, spokesmen for Russia private ly asserted Chat the danger of war in the Far East has lessened, relations between Japan and Russia having Im proved. J AMES A. MOFFETT, federal hous ing commissioner, announced that on November 1 he would begin releas ing funds for the construction of at least a million new homes, 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 5,000 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 field 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 chat amount of cash business is being done.” T obacco, 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 lO.OiX) 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. ^EW YORK’S city assembly has ^ ' adopted a lottery scheme for the purpose of raising relief funds, a way having been devised to circumvent the law. The business men and the clergy are protesting violently. ^ 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 corporath geth^ h, one ; manager ''class in tmother. 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, it is likely to be with Jugo slavia. Just now the two nations are quarreling bitterly. Mussolini daily vexed because Jugoslavia is har boring 2.500 Austrian N.azis close to the border and not curbing their plans for another putsch.

New York.—The astonisliing story of how and why the young and beaufi- fui Countess Clarisse JIarietta von Wurmbrand-Stuppa'-li became twice engaged before wedding wealthy Clen- deuin J, Ryan /r.-f-wlio is now suing to annul tlieir mafliViage—has been re vealed following fitarfling disolosure.s of the countess’ adventures in Europe before her marrlag^^ These disclosure are now expected to play an Important part in Ryan s suit for annulment^ which will lie bit- eriy opposed by the countess when It comes up in court this fall. She says- "I married Cleiidenin because I love him, not for his money,” Heir to $8,000,000 When he Is thirty Ryan will fall heir to $8,0('0.00() .of the -$115,000,000 estate of his grandfather, Thomas Fortune Ryan, utility ma.snate. An> attempts the count-ess may make to share In tliis fortune—despite her dec laration that she u.-trried him, only for love—will he foir.'lit vigorously hv Ryan's lawyers In court. At present the countess is in Europe visiting her. , mofiier. the Dowager Countess Marie, hut she plans to re turn to fight the annulment suit. In Vienna, detectives h.ockrrnoking on tlie Von Wurinhrand-Stuiiparhs have learned that the dowager count ess was arrested in 103.3, charged with liaving defrauded creditors. In polh-e and court files are deptisltions, letters, an indictment, affidavits, records of testimony, charges and counter charges. And throu.gh them all runs one re curring theme: •T told them that payment would not he made until after the marri.nge of my daughter." That Is the dowager countess speak ing, admitting she had no money and wji/i heavily in dehfl and revealing her determination to mjyry her daughter off to a wealthy She did eventual^' not until the (iai gaged to two men hoevedeii w.a.s the of course, hiil had been en- on Karl Riichs- appe; her (laughter.

Four hundred persons were rendered homeless, aud most of the food supplies were burned up. Relief vessels with food and med ical supplies were rushed to the place and there was no fear of shortage. The government at Washington granted .?.')0,000 in direcl assistance and planned other relief measures. The citizens were hurried’y procuring lunilier and otlier mncerials in the hope of at least partly retinildlng the city licl'ore it is isolaieil liy winter Ice; thrones of both that country and Hungary. It was asserted that this Hapsburg family liad been granted per mission to return as plain citizens If Otto would promise not to seek in any way to bring about restora tion of the monarchy. Quite unofficially. It- is said restora tion of the Hapsburg monarchy would not be opposed by either France or Italy, but the British foreign office scouted the idea. The little entente nations would be strong!*- against It but might not hold the Vienna gov ernment entirely responsible. In Vienna a spokesman for the for eign office said that the return to Aus tria of the Hapsburg family, even as private Individuals, is “still impossi ble.’’ Some member of the Hapsburg fam ily may be allowed to return to repre sent the family in the long pending lawsuit over the Hapsburgs' proper ties, he said, but this is not likely to be Archduke Otto, because of the dan ger that disturbances might result from his presence. Socialists and labor un ions would surely start trouble. duction section of tlie farm ad ministration, announced tliat the third cotton "parity” payment due in De cember would be combined with the second rental payment and that both would be^ distributed in October. The total thus to be paid out will approxi mate $72,500,000. Mr, Ciobb said that tenants and share croppers had an interest in the “parity” payment and that to put off payment until December, the usual sea son for many tenants and renters to mov> to other farms, would cause un necessary complications.
