LaFoUette After Incomes t. Senate liberals disclosed they would demand a broader and higher Income tax structure. Among them is Senator LaFoilette, Progressive. Wisconsin, who wants to boost Income levies on the wealthy and tax several million smaller comes now exempt. This development foreshadowed a hot battle against any administration proposal to finance the new 1440,000,000 farm program from taxes similar to the old AAA processing levies Invalidated by the Supreme court.

Taxes and relief were considered the only remaining major legislation likely to raise a storm In Congress some legislators figured that storm might be terrific. Moving carefully. President Roosevelt has not announced a recommendation on either problem. Uncertainty still surrounded the administration tax program after an inconclusive White House conference yesterday. Tax experts of the Treasury and Agriculture departments have drafted tentative suggestions for $900,000,000 in levies to finance' the farm program and some of the bonus cost, but the White House has not yet passed on the proposals, so far as is 'known.

The suggestions Include levies on processors and some revisions in income tax exemptions. Would Lower Exemptions Senator LaFollette's bill, how. ever, would be more sweeping. He said he would offer, if the administration did not. an income tax schedule similar to one he proposed last year.

Besides raising taxes on the rlcn, it would lower the exemption for married couples from $2,500 to $2,000 and for single individuals from $1.000 to $800. It would also jump the normal tax rate from four to six per cent and start the surtax on Incomes of $3,000. Last year the LaFoUette plan was estimated to yield about $250,000,000, but Its friends believe that with the Improvement in business since then the revenue would be much larger. Others in the independent group, both Republicans and Democrats, were ready LaFoUette in opposing processing taxes, or similai levies. They contended these were really sales taxes which drew more revenue from the poor than the rich.

On the other hand, many members of Congress contended that little additional revenue would be raised by Increasing taxes on the rich, and that any substantial new government income must come from the "rank and file."

His words have been scanned carefully In a search for his possi- intentions or hopes in '36. In he political conversations common to everyone, this question constant- arises: What is Hoover going to do? From Palo Alton, there has come, as yet, no answer. One possible answer is given privately by prominent party leaders who have conferred with the former president. They say he will sit back and wait. Mr.

Hoover 1s in a peculiar position so far as delegates are concerned. Suppose he did try to obtain instructed delegations. If he waged a hard fight, he would go nto Ohio, as he did in 1928. But the state committee in Ohio has declared against him. His native state, Iowa, is being asked to send a delegation -behind a favorite son, Senator Dickinson.

Governor Merrlam is said to want the delegation from Mr. Hoover's adopted state, California. His chance, if he desires the nomination, is believed by his friends to lie In continuing his speaking campaign, discussing the Issues, striving to create a sentiment that might surge toward him in a deadlocked convention. There are others of the former president's friends who say he has unselfishly assumed a lead in campaigning against the New Deal without hope of further reward from his party.

Should there be any unpre- rush of pay checks Into business houses on Saturday, it would be impossible to cash them, some of the business men believe, since there is to be no facility for passing the checks on to the banks, due to the closing rule of the banks on the legal holiday.

Dr. Cook Seeks Vindication Over Pole 'Discovery' Emerges from Retirement To Renew Claim of Genuineness Upon completion of the German Zeppelin LZ-129, construction of tXtor ihlp will bet under CHICAGO, Feb.

20, Frederick Cook, storm center of the "north pole fraud" that shook the world a generation ago, came out oft retirement today to demand tha" science recognize his claim to discovery of the pole hi 1908. White haired and weary of being peered as a faker, the 70 year old explorer asked that his name be cleared "before I die." In a letter written to the American Geographical Society on the twenty-eighth anniversary of his departure from Greenland on the polar trip, Dr. Cook demanded "a full and Impartial investigation of my story." His polar discovery by the late Admiral Robert E. Peary, who claimed attainment of the pole a year after the date given by been -upheld by every expedition since his own, Dr. Cook declared.

His description of the polar regions has been verified by Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Lincoln Ellsworth, Roald Amundsen, and General Umburto Noblle. The physician-scientist contended in an interview. Even Peary's own account of polar conditions was virtually identical with the story Cook had published a week before, the doctor said. "My claims, and those of Peary, must stand or fall on those reports," Cook declared.

"And they were published, and can not be changed. Nothing can be taken away. Nothing can be added." In his letter mailed yesterday to President M. Roland L. Redmond, in New York, Dr.

Cook said he turned to the American Geographic Society for vindication because of the society's "reputation for fairness and accuracy."

He shivered and sighed and lost his voice momentarily, but no tears came to his eyes." Affected By Scene It was after this interview that Leibowiltz revealed his withdrawal from the case in an announcement indicating he believed the condemned man was guilty. "Hauptmann understands very clearly that his last card has been played and he has lost," Leibowitz said.

Leibowitz and Fisher told Hauptmann, according to a reliable source, that there was no new evidence and Gov. Harold G. Hoffman had told them he would not grant Hauptmann another reprieve. "The scene in the deathhouse was worse than anything I have ever seen in any electrocution chamber," this source said. Lei- bogwitz and Fisher were deeply affected.

"Leibowitz did most of the questioning and never raised his voice above a conversational tone. It had a hypnotic effect on the prisoner. was ho bulldozing but Hauptinannr' frequently raised bis Handwriting Damning "Leibowitz did not request Hauptmann to change his story, but in pointing out the numerous flaws lit Hauptmann's defense, he gave the prisoner every opportunity to tell the truth if he had not already done so. "Hauptmann said, 'Dot handwriting is the-worstest thing against me." "He was inclined to dismiss all phases of the kidnap evidence against him with a shrug, remarking 'Dot's not "He discussed more avidly, however, the extortion evidence, the handwriting and the money, but he did not change his story on them or any other phases of the case one bit." "Leibowitz tore several sheets of paper into 100 pieces and asked Hauptmann to write number on three of them. Hauptmann wrote the numbers 2, 40 and 80 on three pieces and Leibowitz then mixed them with the others.

Spelling His Own "He then asked Hauptmann try to draw out of a hat the pieces on which he had written. Hauptmann drew out three blanks. "That's how much chance there Is of finding three persons In this country who would misspell the same words the same Leibowitz said." Hauptmann's date of execution was set yesterday for the week of March 30. The New York attorney who had consented to aid Hauptmann if the convicted kldnap-slayer of' CoL Charles A. Lindbergh's first-born son would "tell the whole truth," withdrew from the case last night.

In the eight days that Leibowitz had investigated the case, he had subjected Hauptmann to several periods of questioning so intensive that at least once the convicted man broke into tears. But although Hauptmann steadfastly refused to confess any part In the crime, Leibowitz is severing his connection with the case, asserted: All Possible Done "His only salvation as matters stand now lies hi his making a clean breast of whatever guilty part he may have had in the crime." "I want no further part in any of the case," Leibowitz said. "I cannot see how I can serve the interests of justice by any further participation." Concerning C. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense counsel, who is remaining in that capacity, Leibowitz said: "Lloyd Fisher today has been more than cooperative. We've brought home to Bruno Richard Hauptmann at the death house In unmistakable language the plight which confronts'him.

"He understands that at the present moment there Is not available that newly discovered evidence which the law demands before any court of this state will grant him a new trial. "Both Mr. Fisher and I have told him there litUe further any lawyer can do for him." FUher, who has fought to -save Hauptmann In the expressed tallef that he innocent, said: Governor Still a Hope mutt be admitted that the outlook dark." He added, though, that he and City to Seek PWA Aid on WhiteJWay Decision Reached at Conference of Mayor With East End Group Figure Cost $30,000 Expense to Property Is Estimated at $2 Per Front Foot Faces 'Fee' Ttial By Atmy Couri Steps to seek a PWA grant as an aid in financing the proposed whiteway lighting system in the downtown business section were outlined at a conference Wednesday afternoon in City Hall at which the committee formed by the East End Improvement Association for promotion of the improvement met with Mayor Hoffmann, City Engineer Pitchford, and representatives of Alton Light Power Co. Decision to proceed with the filing of an application for PWA aid was reached after the presentation of figures on estimated cost of the project which had been assembled Following a preliminary meeting of the same group last week. For West End, Broadway At a top figure, it was said, cost would approximate $2 a lineal foot of property to be served.

The figure Is slightly higher than under the original estimate due to 'an Increase In material prices since the time the improvement was set up four years ago. Following yesterday's conference It was said by Mayor Hoffmann that City Engineer Pitchford will proceed at once to complete specifications and cost estimate in the form prescribed for a local improvement, and with this as a basis, an application will be made for a PWA grant. Possibility of WPA aid on some abases of the construction also is to 3e explored, it was said, either or both of which would tend to reduce cost to owners of property. The plans in hand contemplate a whiteway to serve the West End section and all of East Broadway as far as Cherry street. Prices Have Increased Estimated cost on the basis of a entative computation as presented it the conference yesterday was .30,000 while the original estimate, made in 1932, set cost at $26,700.

It was emphasized by City Engineer 3 itchford in presenting the new es- imate that the figure was "on out- ide one" with probability that bids would run considerably less. Paul Johnson, chairman of the East Snd Improvement Association's committee, said that a computation on basis of the new estimate indicated a cost to property owners at slightly less than $2 a running foot. His committee now will tiest on its oars until response has been had the FWA application, he said, already has been ascertained that the whiteway type of project now acceptable to the PWA, but it remains to be determined through submission of an application whether the federal body has funds remaining by which it can aid the city's' street lighting plan. Mayor Hoffman said that he believed a quick determination by the PWA on city's application might had.

In taking the suit from the jury Judge Mudge expressed the opinion that Nickalau had failed, in his evidence, to show that August Dietiker of Wood River, against whom the suit was brought, Dietl- ter owned the building in which Nickalau said he gambled, or that Oietiker had participated actively in the game where the money was lost. Counsel for Nickalau this morning placed Dietiker on the witness stand and questioned him regarding ownership of the building where he alleged the sum was lost.

U.S. Conciliator Seeks Solution of Akron Tire Strike 14,000 Employes Idle- Demand Observance Of Seniority 'AKRON, Feb.

20 Chapell, department of labor conciliator from Washington, took over the task of trying to break a deadlock between striking employes and the Goodyear Tire Rubber Co today while 14,000 workers remained idle. pickets blocked all entrances to the three large pirate and the general offices. More than 500 employes were still inside, but production was at a virtual standstill. Labor troubles increased on another front as the'management the Columbia Chemical Co. orderec the closing of its plant in suburban Barberton after 250 workers began a "sltdown" protest in sympathy with 50 union pipefitters who asked a wage Increase of four cents an hour.

The plant employes 900. Chapell was assigned to the Goodyear selge by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. He planned first to hold individual conferences with each side. Since Tuesday, when picketing kept 6,000 persons from enterinf plant No. 2, there have been only a few minor scuffles and no serious violence.

Bonfires, kitchens, tents and headquarters offices have been set up by the pickets near entrances to the three factories while their cruising squads covered outlying areas. Leaders estimated that the territory being picketed totaled 11 miles. The company contends that layoffs of tire builders, which led to the controversy, were Justified by slack business conditions. Officials said they would not confer with picket leaders until they returned to work. Tire builders asked that veteran workers be retained over younger men if layoffs were necessary and demanded three days' notice for all men scheduled to be laid off.

Judge Frederick A. Pope, another defense attorney, are hopeful something will develop out of their investigation, and said "under any circumstances we shall continue to our utmost in our client's behalf." With his execution only six weeks nway, Hauptmann has these possibilities on which to hang his dying hupes: That governor Harold O. Hoffman, who granted him a 30-day reprieve and ordered the New Jersey police to reopen their Inveitlgatlon, will etgn a second reprieve. That he will call another oi the court of pardons, the body which rejected Hauptmann'i appeal for clemency on Jan. 11.
