SURPRISE ST H4UPTW4NN TRIM MERRY GO-ROUND A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON The unprecedented action of Homer Cummings in appearing personally before the supreme court today to argue the gold case is symbolic. Apparently the attorney general has awakened to the fact that you can't win law suits without lawyers. Cummings himself an excellent lawyer, but his justice department is bogged down with the most lamentable conglomeration of political chair-warmers that ever spit tobacco juice on a cross-roads stove. For that reason Cummings' appearance before the supreme court is regarded with great hope by some of his cabinet colleagues.

They hope that this may mark the beginning of new things in the justice department. It has been no secret that this department is regarded by many as the weakest link in the New Deal. With some of the most historic legislation in the nation's history coming before the supreme court, various New Deal departments have complained -bitterly at the way Homer Cummings' lawyers were handling their cases. BASIC LIBERAL This criticism does not apply to Homer Cummings personally. The attorney general is one of the most- the cabinet.

He is a hard worker, has a delicious sense of humor, stands well with the president and is in step with the liberal sentiment of the New Deal. Illustrative of that liberal sentiment is an incident experienced by Harold M. Stephens, ablest assistant attorney general. Stephens needed some good aides, brought in Henry White Edgerton, who was dismissed from the Cornell law school because he was a conscientious objector during the later taken back with apologies. Stephens suggested to Solicitor General Biggs that Edgerton be hired.

He explained his pacifist leanings, said he had votefl for Norman Thomas in 1932. Biggs almost frothed, vetoed the idea. Stephens then went to Homer (Continued on Page Five) 16 APPLY FOR BEER LICENSES NEW SILVER BLOC FORMED IN CONGRESS Westerners Launch Drive For Remonetization At Early Date Two Witnesses Link German Carpenter With Kidnap Crime Bruno Seen Near Lindbergh Home; Received Note Applications for 16 beer sale licenses, wholesale and retail, have been received by Provo city, with a number of others who held licenses last year not having applied as yet.

PROJECTS NEED 208 LABORERS Work on two Utah County highway projects, one of which will provide work for approximately 143 men for a period 250 days and the other for approximately 65 men for a period of 180 days, will start at once, J. M. Nichols, manager of the Provo office of the National Service, announced today. The larger of the two projects involves the construction of three grade separations and approaches, and an underpass within the south city limits of Springville. The (Continued on Page Eight) WASHINGTON, Jan.

(U.p) Silver forces in the house, under new leadership of Rep. J. A. Martin, D. today started organization, without regard to party lines, to put driving power behind the political campaign for silver remonetization.

Rep. Martin, selected by colleagues from western mining states, studied the membership of a projected silver committee and planned to consult silver leaders in the senate regarding a program, terms of which have not yet been decided. Currency The new organization is expected til be a more effective and larger bloc than the loosely organized group which enrolled 105 members at the last session of congress. Rep. Martin told the United Press the present silver law "has been sitting as a stepchild on the treasury door." "If they started in to carry out the law, silver would go up to one dollar an ounce and benefit silver mining as well as expand the currency," he said.

Timidity held ing from insufficient currency and an excessive dependence on bank credit, and deplored the timidity with which the silver issue has been faced. "If the country could stand cutting the gold dollar from 100 to 60 it could at least stand the experiment of rempnetizing silver," he said, expressing his personal opinions on the subject and not necessarily those of the bloc. "At the time when gold was devalued, silver should have moved into the picture. "The main thing that I have worked on is to do away with the false idea of the plentitude and cheapness of silver. Events have shown that there are no great stores of cheap silver available in this country or in the world." Rep.

Martin personally favors remonetization of silver at the 16 to 1 ratio, but said there is yet no concensus among colleagues regarding procedure. BIGGER POLICE FORCE ASKED Business men of Provo asked the city commission to add one more police officer to the local force for night duty, at the meeting Monday night. The matter was taken under advisement. Clayton Jenkins, executive secretary of the chamber of commerce, was spokesman for the group and pointed out that the fact that two plate glass windows in the business district could be smashed, as they were early Sunday, without the noise being heard by police officers, was proof that the force was undermanned. No criticism was aimed at the present force, but several in the group cited cases of burglaries and robberies in the city during the past few years to show that more men are needed.

At present at least one man should be they argued. Mayor A. O. Smoot told the group that the present force (six men) had been apprehending many desperate criminals lately and had recovered stolen goods and arrested burglars in many cases. This is an argument that additional help is needed, the business men said.

Admitting that Provo is on a highway frequently used by some of the most desperate criminals, this fact indicates that an adequate police force should be maintained. The problem confronting the city, Mayor Smoot said, is how to finance the hiring of another man. The budget was set two weeks ago, with a group representing the taxpayers' association urging that the budget be kept as low as possible. Olsen Retires From School Board Work; Crane To Take Post Pertinent Recommendations Bearing" On Solution of Provo's School Problems Made; Crane To Be Installed Tonight Looking back on more than 16 and expressed through the Herald years of school board service, Ole E.

In retrospection, Mr. Olsen commented today on iae outstanding accomplishments of the past year, his appreciation to the public and his colleagues on the board for the support and cooperation ac corded him during his tenure in office.

S. L. Mendenhall of Springville WORK FOR 7 MILLION PRIMEJEED Ability 'State To Care For Unemployables Is-Questioned By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1935, by United Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (U.R)—New Dealers are hopeful that President Roosevelt's recovery and relief program will provide useful employment for at letast 7,000,000 individuals this year.

That appears to be the minimum expectation from the public works plan if it operates in practice as well as it looks on paper. The employment aggregate would be made up of: 1. 3,500,000 persons shifted from the dole to public works. 2. From 3,500,000 up re-employed privately.

(Tentative estimate) Dole Local Of greatest concern as this unprecedented program is launched is the possibility that local relief may not be able to absorb the 1,500,000 dole recipients which are to be stricken from federal relief rolls. There appears to be less official anxiety over government's ability to provide work for $3,500,000 or so employable persons now receiving the dole. to" the -74th congress avoided any estimate of the number of employable Americans now jobless. He estimated, merely, that 4,000,000 persons had been re-employed since President Hoover left the White House on March 4, 1933. 11 Million The American Federation of Labor estimates in excess of 11,000,000 persons are without jobs.

If administration hopes are realized, this number will be reduced by the end of this year to 4,000,000 or fewer. April 1 is the deadline for the start of federal public works under the new program.

PWA Budget Carries Deer Creek Expenditures To June 30 Encouragement for an early start on the Deer Creek.dam project is seen by local interests in the budget report from' Washington, D. C. Tuesday in the estimate by the budget officers, that $1,190,000 will have been spent on the project by June 30 of this year.

It was evident to analysts of the budget that the west must look almost entirely to the public works administration for funds to carry forward new construction during the year. It is indicated that money allocated by A more than a year ago, including the first sum toward the Deer Creek dam, will not be exhausted by the end of the fiscal year. Slightly increased appropriations are asked for the national parks for. the coming year, including a sum of $920 for the Timpanogos national monument, which last year was taken into the parks service. Although some legislation must be had before the work on the Deer Creek dam can start, it is pointed out that the right, of way, the possibility of an early contract let on the building of the Duchesne tunnel and other feat-, ures of the project, wul call for heavy expenditures as soon as some of the legal preliminaries are out of the way.

Therefore the estimate that an early start may be made on the project this year.

Springs Surprise State Strengthens Its Case By Testimony of Witnesses Who Identify Hauptmann; Important Link in Case Established FLEMINGTON. N. Jan.

8 (U.R)—Two more witnesses today linked Bruno Richard Hauptmann with the kidnaping and murder of the Lindbergh baby. Mandus Hochmuth 87-year-old Prussian army veteran and resident of Hopewell, placed his hand on Hauptmann knee and swore he saw him near the Lindbergh home an automobile at noon on the day of the kidnaping. Cab Driver Joseph Perrone, a New York taxi-cab driver, testified in mid- afternoon that Hauptmann was the man who gave him a note to deliver to Dr. John F. Condon, intermediary hi the negotiations with the kidnaper.

Three persons have now branded Hauptmann as being implicated in the crime. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh already has testified that Hauptmann's voice is the one he heard in St. Raymond's cemetery calling "Hey, Doktor" to Condon.

Lindbergh added that he believed Hauptmann guilty. The identifications of Hauptmann by Hochmuth and Perrone came as smashing surprises, and defense counsel vigorously attacked the testimony. Case Seems As compared to evidence previously disclosed at the Hauptmann extradition hearing in New York and by police investigators, the state's'' cast! -now stronger than could have been, expected. Perrone told how a man had approached his taxicab in the Bronx and handed him a note with instructions to take it to Condon's home. "Is that man here in court?" asked Attorney General David T.

Wilentz. "He is," Perrone replied. "Step down from the stand and point him out," Wilentz said. Perrone walked' across the 30 feet that separates the witness chair from Hauptmann and clamped a heavy hand on the prisoner'8 shoulder. "That's the man," Perrone said.

"You're a liar," Hauptmann muttered, too low to be heard by anybody except those sitting directly behind him. DAVID T. WILENTZ LONG SUFFERS REBUFF WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 Sen.

Hauptmann Says Witness 'Crazy' FL.EMINGTON. N. Jan. 8 (U.R)—Bruno Richard Hauptmann told the United Press today that Joseph Perrone ''must be crazy to identify me after two and a half years." The German carpenter sits directly in front of one of the United Press correspondents, in the court room where he is on trial on murder charges. "What do you think of that testimony?" he was asked, after Perrone had' testified.

"Why," he said, "to think that anybody could remember another two and a half man is absolutely crazy." "What was that remark you made to him when he put his hand on your shoulder?" he was asked. "Why I called him what he is," he said. "I called him a liar." During the recess, Hauptmann talked with various members of his counsel. He waved his hands animatedly while talking to Frederick Pope. They conversed in, low tones.

"We'll see about tat," Pope said as the talk ended.
