Two To Three Millions To Stay Jobless, Must Get Government Work, Says Lubin WASHINGTON, D, C , Oct.—(AP) —Isador Lubin, commissioner oi labor statistics, estimated today that between two and three million of America's jobless will never find work again in private industry but • said he had no fear of a “perman jent army of unemployed." He said the U. S. has always suffered from 1____ a “shocking shortage" or education al, recreational and health facilities. The work of creating and main taining these facilities will even tually absorb the jobless, he said, but he contended It would be done by the government and not by pri vate industry. These views were expressed in an interview in which he analyzed the unemployment problem, saying It would be several years before the great bunc of Jobless could find work. He pictured the unemploy ment outlook In manufacturing as brighter than some, other lines, He estimated less than two million are stilfeunemployed in those industries and that they can be absorbed. -1__ Sink To Preside Over Mixed Term; Jury List Drawn i'fwo Weeks Session To Open Oct. 28.

New Jersey Tribunal Upholds Death Sentence Of Hauptmann For Murder-Kidnaping Of Baby TRENTON, N J. Oct. 9 _<APt — The highest court in New Jersey— the Court of Errors and Appeals— today unanimously upheld the death sentence of Bruno Richard Haupt m&n for the kidnaping murder of young Charles Lindbergh. The denial of a new trial leaves Hauptinan with three courses open: He may appeal to Uie Court Of Pardons, of which Governor Hoff man and six judges of the Court of Error and Appeals are members. They can commute his sentence to life imprisonment. ! He may also appeal for a new I trial on the basis that new evidence | has been discovered, and lie may; appeal to the Supreme Court of the! United States. His attorneys have said they will carry the case to this last and highest tribunal. The opin ion was written by Justice Charles W. Parker of Morristown. He is 73 years old. C. Lloyd Fisher of Flemming ton, who became chief of the defense' after the dismissal of Edward J, Reilley, recently announced he was I 'm possession ol new evidence. The ! court, commenting upon the defense ! contentions that Attorney General Iwilentr offered varying theories ae to hold the child died said that was not harmful to the defendant. 'The court observed that the case j was submitted by the court to the l jury on the theory that the child died in a fall. Tlie court held that Hie claim j that Hauptmann's constitutional ! rights under the 14th amendment (Continued on page right) | He indicated about behind Adi* * grot and said "the beyond is a re*- ! Ion .still more fertile. Italy will never 1 have to buy grain, cotton, or coffee | Iroin abroad." The AJP. correspondent on a 2* | hour visit along the front found the J natives apparently already aceus- \ tomed to the fascist occupation and ! going about their dally duties as though nothing out of the ordinary ; had occurred. Aduwa was hard at f work undoing the damage inflioted by the bombardment last Thursday. I To Undertake Sanctions The League of Nations today un- I dci took the gravest task in its his- I tory, that of penalising Mussolini's .. fasctlst government for its pggres- 1 sion against Ethiopia. The pretense of diplomatic cor diality between Home and Addis Ababa was ended. The Italian for eign office authorized Its minister to leave the Ethiopian capital. He had been asked to leave by Haile ; Selassie yesterday. The Ethiopian charge d'affalrs in Rome was like wise ready to leave on the first boat. The Roman legions in northern Ethiopia occupied 3,600 square miles they controlled Aduwa, although re ports had said Ethiopian warriors were making a counter-attack on that city. Claim Civilisation In tills area, the Italians were seeking to justify their claims they $ were carrying "civilisation” to the f Ethiopians. Italian forces reported officially to Rome that today was "quiet” along the northern front. "Hordes of Ethiopians came in a frontal clash with the advancing Italians and were mowed down by modern Italian weapons,” dispatches to Rome j*ald regarding ftghttng yesterday. Hint** claim Success The Italians have hailed their gains as great victories, but in Addis Ababa there was no concern lor the occupation in the north. The Ethiopians said Aduwa was evacuat ed. not captured. Addis Ababa re ceived mesages trom the front show ing some success from sniping tac tics. Ras Beyoum, governor of the northern Tigre Province, and com mander in chief of ail forces in the north, assaulted the Italian right flan* claiming the capture of a colonel and 30 other officers. In Addis Ababa there was not the slightest evidence that natives fear ed an advance. They felt secure In the belief Halle Selassies forces would easily turn back the Italians when the campaigns come to the mountain passes. But on every hand was fear of an aerial attack.
