He told hl.s hearers it was a place where no radicalism, no communism, could find foothold. The; people there need opportunity for: education, which his college is sup- plying. He recalled a statement of Woodrow Wilson that the people in those mountain homes, over million of them, are a reserve of Americanism preserved from con-, tamlnalion against, some great, emergency. Dr.

Hill expressed the belief that the emergency is now upon us and indicated that the Americanism of those mountain people might be taken as an example to those who are accepting unsound doctrines.

Hauptmann's defense, denying he was the man who collected the Lindbergh ransom on April 3, 1033, used the testimony of a Bronx taxi driver today in an effort to show there were four mysterious persons near St. Raymond's ceme-" tery in the Bronx at about the time of the payment. Phillip Moses, who had been quoted as saying his story would "bust this case wide open," testified he picked up three fares shortly after 8 p.

April 2, 1832, and drove them past the gate of the cemetery where Dr. John P. (Jafsle) Condon said he paid Hauptmann the ransom money while Col. Lindbergh waited In an automobile. He said he drove the three men two blocks put the gate.

They jumped out, he sold, and met a fourth man, whereupon the quartet huddled for a conference. Then they got into a gray car which stalled, he said, and he helped them to vet It started.

An English soldier could be hanged for begging without the permission of his superior, as late as 1813. duced an autograph book to show Moses' name among others of trial celebrities. Joseph J. Tartell of New York followed Mrs.

Mueller on the stand as the defense launched further attack upon the testimony of Mrs. Cecile Barr, the cashier of Loew's Sheridan square theater where Hauptmann was alleged to have passed the ransom bill on Nov. 26, 1B33. The defense wanted Tartell to testify to experiences with Mrs. Barr having to do with the making of change and her memory of faces, Jbut the state objected and was sustained.

The witness was withdrawn. The attorney general, In his cross- examination of Mrs. Mueller, asked her if she had not told police at one time that she could not remember what time Hauptmann's birthday party broke up. She said she could remember making no such statement, and she insisted people began leaving the party between 8:30 and 10 p. m.

Hauptmann's house, the defense sought to show, was a great distance from the theater. Mrs. Barr had testified he presented the ransom bill! at 9:30 p. m. The date of the alleged passing of the bill was prior to the time that Hauptmann said the late Isador Fisch had given him a shoe box containing, unknown to Hauptmann, $14,600 in ransom money.

Kind to His Wife. Mrs. Louise Wollenberg testified little more than that she was at the farewell party for Fisch at Itooptmanh's home on Dec. 2, 1933, and that Hauptmann always treated his wife with kindness and respect. It was at the Dec.

2 party that Hauptmann claimed to have received the ransom shoe box from Fisch. Otto Wollenberg, husband of the previous witness, gave similar testimony and was not subjected to cross-examination of any length. The defense lost, at least temporarily, a battle to force Col. H. Norman pf, head of the New Jersey police, to reveal what he told newspapers during the Investigation of the Lindbergh kid- naping.

Hauptmann's defense also sought through a Bronx taxi driver to offset the adverse story of another taxi driver who said Hauptmann gave him a dollar to deliver a ransom note to Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon. Through the same witness, Philip Moses, the defense attacked the story of Dr. Condon who said he paid the $50,000 ransom to Hauptmann in St.

Raymond's cemetery in the Bronx on the night of April 2, 1932. Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, ruling against defense on its effort to make Schwarzkopf produce his press releases, allowed Hauptmann's attorneys to reserve the right to-argue the point later. Argue on Subpoena. A petition on the police head's behalf was presented at the open- Ing of court today.

He asked to be released from a subpoena duces tecum through which the defense sought to make him produce all his press releases from the date of the kidnaping to Nov. 1 of the same year. Assistant Attorney General Jospoh A. Lanlgan argued the subpoena was "too Indefinite and uncertain." Schwarzkopf was on the stand as a defense witness yesterday. He couldn't recall that he had ever said in one of the releases that the suicide ot Violet Sharpe, a maid in the home of Mrs.

Dwlght W. Morrow, virtually solved the kidnaping, and added that was sure hc had made no such statement. One ot his press releases after the maid's suicide, as printed In the newspapers of the time, said In part: "The suicide of Violet Sharpe strongly' tends to confirm the suspicions of the investigating authorities concerning her guilty knowledge of the crime against Charles A. Lindbergh, jr." Direct examination of Moses was conducted by Edward J. Reilly of defense counsel.

The taxi man said he had been in the business for eight years, and In 1033 worked In the Bronx. Q. Were you In the vicinity of St. Raymond's cemetery on the night of April 3, A. Yes, sir, Saturday night.

The Virginia Democrat, specialist in bankUg legislation, hurled his accusation at Marrlner S. Eccles, New Deal governor of the Federal Reserve Board, which, In the opinion of trained observers, would be given many of the powers of a central bank. Glass said: "The governor of the Federal Reserve Board, Mr. Eccles, voluntarily came to my office and told me that he would show me the amendments before he showed them to any one else.

He did not keep for the plan, which was sent to Capitol Hill last night in the New Zealand, three "dead" "banklng act of 1935," Glass would only say: "I do not care to make any comment on something I have not seen." It Is known that the Virginia senator, who te most of the original Federal Reserve Act as chairman of the House banking committee in 1913, Is opposed to changes In the Federal Reserve in this session. The capital has understood for some time that he would fight to the end any amendments which would place additional control in the hands of officials here. The amendments proposed In the banking act of 1935 would give Washington practically complete si over credit policies. Before the 12 governors of Federal Reserve banks could be elected they would have to be approved by the Federal Reserve Board here. By scrapping the old "open market policy committee" in favor of a new committee, the reserve board would be given a predominant voice ou the question as to when and to what extent reserve banks should support the government bond market.

No. 1 Bad Man of South Flees in Volley of Bullets Raymond HamiltonAgain Shows His Skill as Escape Artist DALLAS, Feb. 5. Hamilton's reputation for escaping from "tight spots" still held today after the No. 1 bad man of the southwest had slipped through a withering volley of lead laid down by police.

A fugitive from the Texas penitentiary death house, Hamilton fled from the scene of a police abuscado last night in a stolen service truck. Officers, however, expressed the belief that both the young outlaw and his brother. Floyd, who fled on foot, had wounded. More than 200 shots were flred at the fleeing pair. The two drove up to an apartment house where earlier In the day police had arrested Floyd's wife and another woman.

Floyd walked to a window of the apartment where six detectives were hidden. He tapped on the pane. The hidden officers called on him to surrender. When they repeated their command he backed away and reached for a pistol. The officers opened fire simultaneously.

Bullets riddled the car in which Raymond snt and the youth- lul desperado tumbled from the machine and joined his brother in flight down an alley. tlon.

The alleged romance between Mrs. Vallee and Gary Leon, anl Adagio dancer, was injected into the case by Bushel. "We will show that she carried on with Leon Garfleld, Leon, otherwise known as Gary Leon," Bushel said. Electoral Board Opens Hearing on Judge Petitions Continued from page 1. ute 'names three public officers whose understanding of the law is limited to the viewpoint of a layman.

The Inference from this establishment Is obvious that the board shall function as a group of laymen, and with a comprehension of laws and legal procedure that is common to all men, and In such manner as best to serve the interests of the political unit concerned. "If the legislators framing the law which creates the board had Intended that the board be a body operating under rules of Jurisprudence, or technical rules of evidence, It would have ordained that its function be carried out by one of the numerous courts at hand. They did not, however, so ordain. On the contrary, they provided that members of the board be public officers who, in the ordinary course of events, would no technical legal training but an ordinary conception of the principles of Justice and equity, a reasonable understanding of the purpose of law, and a proper regard for its spirit and administration.

"This Is not a summation," Justice Cotillo told Bushel. Bushel spoke of records made of telephonic conversations between the follower of terpslchore' and the plaintiff, the contents of which, when made public last winter, caused a major sensation. The attorney said that when Vallee found, out how "disgracefully his wife had acted" he called east her father, Clarence E. Webb, police chief of Santa Monica, that Webb listened to the records, and took his daughter away with him. "We will show that Mrs.

VaJiee moved to obtain more money from her husband only when she fell to with a gang of crooked lawyers," Bushel continued. Thomas I. Sheridan, counsel for Mrs. Vallee, leaped to his feet with an objection and the reference was expunged from the record. Sheridan told the court that he would prove that -his client was induced to sign the separation agreement by "tricks and and that she did'not have the advice of an attorney.

"We will show," Sheridan said, 'that Rudy Vallee, a singer, for a Derlod of years earned upward of 360,000 a year, that the $100 a week is clearly Inadequate." In a surprise Vallee was he first witness Sheridan called the stand. He gave his name as Hubert Prior Vallee. The records of the Mrs. Vallee- Gary Leon conversations were brought Into the court.
