deal gossip which teems in Washington during cocktail hours today fashioned out of the resignation of five "left wing" agricultural officials a mass of speculation as to where the lightning may strike next. More resignations from the AAA were believed to impend. "Is President Roosevelt going to the right?" was the question asked in circles which earlier in his administration interpreted the dropping out of such conservatives as Lewis W. Douglas, Dean Acheson and 0. M.

W. Sprague as signalizing. a "left" tendency. How the "dead cats" which put a dynamic Hugh S. Johnson in retirement will react on Secretary Ickes, for whom some congressmen have been gunning, and Donald R.

Richberg, whom labor union leaders call a "traitor," was another question often put- -and as often unanswered. Roosevelt Silent. President Roosevelt had nothing to say about any reports that the AAA shake-up and his letters to the American Federation of Labor reffecting its NRA and automobile code demands represented a swing toward conservative trends.

Jacob A. Voice, president of the concern, in Tampa today arranging preliminary organization plans, said within six months the annual payroll will approximate $100,000. Three technicians will come here next week arrange plant site and installation of machinery. Mr.

Voice said about five and a half billion cigars were produced in the United States last year. Of these half a billion used no cigar bands. Of the rest, 70 percent or 3,500,000,000 had bands made by the Consolidated Lithographing Corp. It takes a 30-ton embossing machine, color presses, a cutting machine, a varnishing tray and eleven operations to make an ordinary cigar band. And after all that, the first thing a cigar smoker does is to tear off the band and throw it away.

PRISONER SLUGS FEDERAL AGENT Bremer Kidnap Suspect Makes Escape Through Window Aurora, Feb. Doyle, under indictment in connection with the Bremer kidnaping, slugged a Federal department of justice agent last night and escaped by leaping through a window of a hotel.

Matlock of Yorkville. near Aurora. The agents drove to the Hotel Nading, Yorkville, where an agent placed a call for the department of justice office at Chicago. While his companion was phoning, the second agent led Doyle to the hotel bar and removed the handcuffs. "The officer ordered two beers," Grace Larrison, a waitress, said.

"The prisoner sipped his beer slowly and seemed to be watching his guard's movements. Suddenly, just as the Federal officer raised his glass, the prisoner struck him on the chin and the officer fell to the floor. Like a flash the prisoner turned around and leaped through the closed window into a side yard. Fiermontes Again at Odds After 'Making Up' at Sea Naples, Italy, Feb. mid-ocean reconciliation between Mr.

and Mrs. Enzo Fiermonte appeared today to have soured again. The couple, who embarked on the Roma from New York ten days ago, arrived in Italy by widely separated routes. Mrs. Fiermonte, the former Mrs.

Madeline Force Astor Dick, was still on board the Roma when it docked here. Her ex-prize fighter husband sailed into Genoa on board the Dutch liner Christian Huygens from Algeria. The Roma's purser said the reconciliation at sea brought about through his intervention after Mrs. Fiermonte spent the first four days in her cabin lasted just two days. The interlude of peace, he said, then ended in a "bust up." Other officers on the liner said the Fiermontes quarreled frequently.

Junior Leaguers Turn Interest to Babies, Pots, New York, Feb. and the pots and pans of marital domesticity, are supplanting the social whirl in the lives of Junior Leaguers. Depression years seemed to have been responsible for the change in attitude, according to reports which reached the executive board of Junior Leagues of America, Canada, Mexico and Hawaii, meeting here today. A nationwide survey showed 72 percent of society's young women are married, and 78 percent of the married class have children. Elizabeth P.

Taylor of Little Rock, president of the Junior League, thinks decreased incomes and adjustments to lower standards of living have a lot to do with it. "A remark I hear many times among our members in referring to clients of welfare agencies is, 'We are all in the same Miss Taylor said. INSURANCE RATE BOOST REVOKED Thirty Percent Increase Order Here Rescinded; Will Make Refunds A 30 percent increase in insurance rates covering private dwellings in the Tampa area more than a mile and a half from fire stations, ordered into effect on Feb. 19, 1934, has been eliminated as far as homes in the City of Tampa are concerned, insurance agents here were notified The notification from the Southeastern Underwriters Association of Atlanta, the organization which fixes fire insurance rates for approximately 98 percent of the companies writing insurance in Tampa and the State. Victory for.

Agents. It marked a striking victory for the Tampa Insurors Exchange, composed of 57 agents writing insurance in the City, which has been conducting an active campaign to obtain a recission or adjustment of the new rates. The rescission is retroactive to the date when the increase was made effective and means that refunds must be made on all insurance written during the past year on which the increase was charged. Glen J. Evins, former president of the Tampa Insurors Exchange, estimated that refunds probably will total between $20,000 and $30,000.

The new rating rescinds the increase on all residential properties, including homes, garages, servants quarters private barns, within the city limits regardless of distance from a fire station or hydrant. At the same time it also moves back the limit on homes from one and a half miles to three miles from a fire station, which will bring such built sections as Palma Ceia, Jackson Heights, etc. within the reduced rate area. Notice Received Today. Notice of the rescission of the rate increase was received today, following a recent conference with Joseph S.

Raine, secretary to the Committee which administers the affairs of the Southeastern Underwriters Association. As far as Tampa insurance men know the repeal of the rate increase was ordered only for the City of Tampa, despite the fact that the increase was ordered for all cities of first class in the State. The Tampa Exchange now is endeavoring to have the city reopen the closed Albany Ave. and Jackson Heights fire stations, pointing out that reopening of the stations would serve to project the threemile limit to a correspondingly larger radius. Paris Communists Released by Police Paris, Feb.

the anniversary of "bloody Tuesday" safely past, police today released all but 56 of the 1,261 Communists they arrested yesterday. Of the 56 still held, 33 are foreigners.

Washington, Feb. leaders sought to rush reinforcements today to prevent insurgents on a senate committee from slashing the $4,880,000,000 work relief bill beyond recognition. Beaten by a slim margin yesterday in their attempt to cut the bill down to a $2,880,000,000 "dole" measure, the insurgents of the appropriations committee were still in fighting mood today. Their move yesterday had failed because the committee split evenly, 10 to 10.

With the situation thus deadlocked, the administration leadership counted heavily on reinforcements to get its bill out intact. Three Democratic committeemen were due back in the city today before it took a final vote. Leaders believed two of these, Tydings, Maryland, and McKellar, Tennessee, would support the administration.

Douglas MacArthur, army chief of staff. MacArthur's bill, being drawn at the suggestion of the House Military Committee, would provide for voluntary enlistment of CCC camp graduates for two months intensive military training after the two months they would revert to inactive status.

There is now no available reserve of men to fill the ranks of the regular army quickly in an emergency, MacArthur told the House Committee. Young men of the Civilian Conservation Corps, toughened by work in the forest camps, would make ideal recruits, he said. After serving two months the enrollees would be paid $24 per year, sufficient to maintain their interest in keeping the War Department informed of their whereabouts, and periodically presenting themselves for physical examination. The 100,000 men would not be enlisted all at once, but gradually as they left the CCC camps. The estimated cost of the force, MacArthur reported, is $7,000,000.

The chief of staff emphasized the lack of a reserve force in this country.

7. (AP) President Roosevelt has informed congressional leaders, an authoritative source said today, that when the time is ripe he proposes to ask legislation permitting the United States to tax securities of types now tax-exempt. The change would not apply to securities now outstanding, it was said, nor would it be suggested until the federal government, the 48 states and the thousands of other political subdivisions are out of the The treasury's position, as expressed before committee's last year by Secretary Morgenthau and still apparently unchanged, is that taxation of exempt securities is a good the future." One reason for delay, it was reported was that the federal government itself must increase its debt over large borrowings in the next fiscal year. The attitude of the President and his financial advisers, it is said, is that if securities were taxed, they would not sell so freely and at as low interest rates. The government might have to increase the interest on its own debt to compen(Continued on Page 4).

ON NAIL HOLES Says He Found Only One When He Examined Rail CLINGS TO STORY Police Claim 4 Holes Fitted Those in Joist of Bronx Home (Copyright, 1935, by The Associated Press) Flemington, N.

Feb. Bruno Richard Hauptmann's defense today pursued a hint of "framed" evidence with an expert who insisted, in the face of photographs and Government reports, that three incriminating nail holes in the Lindbergh kidnap ladder were not in existence when he examined it. This witness was Dr. E. M.

Hudson, a New York physician and amateur fingerprint man. He clung to his testimony that the famed "rail part of the kidnap ladder which the State charges came from Hauptmann's attic and fitted there had only one square nail hole when he saw it on March 13, 1932, 13 days after baby Charles A Lindbergh Jr. was kidnaped and slain. The rail, in evidence, has four nail holes which State experts and police said fitted with nail holes in the joists of Hauptmann's attic. weaken The Hauptmann defense the as a man also identification sought to of seen lurking near the Lindbergh home before the crime by William Whitehead to say calling, reputation of his relative, Millard Whited, for veracity was "not good." Whited had testified for State, placing Hauptmann near the crime scene.

William Diehl, another resident of the Sourland Hills, followed. As to Whited's reputation for veracity, he said: "'Taint any good." George E. Lenz also said "not good" as to Whited's veracity. Quizzed By Wilentz. The state, in cross-examination of the three Sourland men, brought out that Whitehead had been in jail, that Lenz had trouble with Whited over a lumber bill, and that Diehl had signed a statement to the effect that he had not discussed Whited's reputation for veracity, Diehl explained he could not read the statement he signed.

Mrs. Augusta Hile, mother-inlaw of Gerta Henkel, who testified yesterday, said the dead Isador Fisch, who is accused by the defense the receiver of the ransom money, borrowed $4,350 from her and never paid it back. Fisch died in Germany. Karl Henkel, Gerta's husband, testified he had known Fisch since 1932; also that he had never felt there was anything improper between Hauptmann and his wife, Gerta. It had been testified Hauptmann frequently drank coffee with Mrs.

Henkel at her home in the ings while his own wife was visiting in Germany. Fisch was a former business partner of Hauptmann's and it was from him, Hauptmann in the Hauptmann garage that $14,600 ransom money' found' Henry Uhlig, mutual friend of the two men, described himself as "Fisch's best friend," was on the stand just long enough to testify that Fisch ran a "phoney" bakery, was in weak physical condition when he sailed for Europe in 1933, and had never loaned him money, when luncheon recess interrupted. Dispute State's Evidence. Dr. Hudson's testimony about the nail hole in the ladder upright was in the face of government reports to the contrary.

Attorney General David T. Wilentz showed him a photograph and asked: "If this rail had been examined by persons other than the state police of New Jersey in March, April and May, 1932, and reports were tied during those months showing these four nail holes would that induce you to believe that possibly you were mistaken?" "No, sir, that wouldn't." "If the United States Government report showed in 1932 that there were four nail holes, these four very nail holes, would that lead you to change your mind?" "No, sir, it would not." The ladder rail was considered one of the state's strongest links in the circumstances by which it seeks to send Hauptmann to the electric chair. The attorney general also attacked Dr. Hudson's estimate that he had found about 500 fingerprints on the ladder with his silver nitrate methods of developing. Police found only eight prints after Before Fiermonte changed ships, one officer said, he announced he wished to hear no more of his wife.

Another suggested, however, that Fiermonte's unusual peregrinations may have been prompted in part by fear of legal complications in Italy where his former wife now lives in Rome. Italian laws do not recognize the divorce the former boxer obtained abroad. While he was aboard the Roma, Fiermonte expressed the hope he would be able to see his son by his previous marriage while he is on the continent. Fiermonte's mother, who also lives in Rome, suggested jealousy might be partly to blame for the dissention between her son and his present wife. The present Mrs.

Fiermonte, she said, fears her husband is coming to Rome to effect a reconciliation with his first wife. (Continued on Page 7).
