Times Union from Brooklyn, New York • 20

WEDNESDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION JANUARY 16, 1935 LET THE HITCH-HIKER GET OUT AND WALK BEFORE HE COMPLAINS OF THE SPRINGS As usual in times of social upheaval, much is being said concerning man's rights and nothing at all concerning his duties. It is the fashion to praise "intellectual independence" and overlook the fact that it means independence of obligations. A preacher who advocates some new heresy is driven from his pulpit and those who call themselves champions of liberty defend and praise him. What are they praising? Is it commendable to preach heresy while eating the bread of orthodoxy. A professor in a denominational college teaches something that offends those who employ him, and critics called Liberals praise his independence.

But what makes him independent. It is the salary paid him by those he offends. Let him lose his job and walk the streets with empty pockets and see how independent he is. It isn't a question of free speech. Free men have the right to think and say what they please, but not while they are drawing pay for saying something else.

The worker feels free to loaf on the job or waste the company's material or talk against the man who pays his wages. "Why not?" he says. "I'm nobody's slave. I am free and independent, for I earn what I get." Then why not earn it on his own premises? Because he can't earn it without using another man's tools, shelter and power. He can help make a product, but he can't assemble the raw material, get credit, pay costs of manufacture and distribution and find a market.

He is a little cog in a machine. When he harms the machine he harms himself. Is any man independent? Why, the richest man in America would be helpless if nobody would work for him, cook his food, wash his clothes, cut his hair. His millions would be useless if everybody ignored him. We depend on one another.

We are obligated to one another. We owe a duty to others to pay for the benefits we receive. If Junior wishes to feel independent, let him first quit the free board at Dad's table.

Roemmele, Funeral Director 1228-30 BUSHWICK PARKWAY Phones: FOX. "THE EVERGREENS" CEMETERY Bushwick Are. and Conway Brooklyn. Phone GLeamore O'Loughlin's Column -By EDWARD T. Publicity Seekers Held to Have Shoved Hauptmann Trial Principals Into Background.

THE Hauptmann trial in Flemington, N. has now reached the point where many of those following it-either through the newspapers or by broadcasts -are beginning "to see things," to have visions and dreams and to be morally certain they have beheld the man accused at some place or other in some questionable attitude which, if made known to the authorities, might aid in solving the case. The whole nation, in fact, has gone "bugs" over this memorable trial, Housewives divide the day into hours spent before the radio dials. Baking, cleaning, shopping and other duties are speeded or held back, according as this broadcaster or that is scheduled to recite the testimony at this hour or some time with which work won't conflict. Sam Leibowitz, with his 7 o'clock program, over WHN, interpreting the trial, has cut short many an enjoyable supper hour and played havoc with appearances at the early movie shows.

Newspapers containing all the latest details are eagerly awaited and the sheet that carries testimony in extense finds its circulation altimeter scoring new records. You hear about it in the street cars, the subway, on the bus down to the train, and it forms the subject of loud discussions all the way into and home from work, both morning and night. You can't escape it. It follows you wherever you go. Take a taxi to get away from it and 10 to 1 the driver-making a corner on two wheels will take time enough out to ask: "Say boss, do you think this guy Hauptmann is guilty Get off at the next corner to visit the dentist and the latter, standing with an ugly pair a of forceps in his hand, will grin affably before he begins the torture to propound a query: "Wasn't it funny the dog didn't bark that night, and say, what's your opinion of Jafsie, anyhow?" It becomes maddening.

It gets in your hair. You go home to sleep and in the middle of the night awaken, clinging desperately to the bedpost and shouting to the police: "This way! I've got him! Here he is!" You go to sleep again and this time the dream takes a new turn. You behold Hauptmann-Jafsie, Ed Reilly and a jury woman all seated around a gravestone in St. Raymond's Cemetery and they are about to open a wooden box. Horrors! It's the ramson money.

You wake in a cold sweat. You get up and dress. When will it end? THE MORBID MIND PSYCHO-ANALYISTS will tell you that persons laboring under such strains in the midst of murder trial hysteria become SO in time that they really believe they have seen the crime committed or at least know who did it or had a hand in it. Should it drag out for any length of time witnesses -never heard of in the early part of the case -will crop up like ghosts to give what the public or the prosecution describe as belated evidence. Highly strung neurotic individuals will betcome absolutely certain they saw man at this corner or on day and at such an hour.

and distinctly remember his every suspicious action, although they can't tell you what else they did that day, the day before, the day after, or when they were and what they were doing at some specified time or place, a week ago. They have been reading about the case, have been discussing it every they, they have dreaming of it- that they are now living it. They see every day in the newspapers pictures of Hauptmann in every conceivable posture--half page illustrations drawn with pen and ink, photos snapped as he sits immutable, inscutable and seemimperturbable. They become mesmerized as they behold the stony countanance, resemblying those which mythology tells us were petrified after their owners gazed upon the Gorgons of old. They see it so often in their subconsciousness that they come to believe in their waking moments that they have beheld it.

times at many places -and finally at some spot connected with the crime. Then some of them completely "go off the handle" and offer themselves as witnesses. MEGALOMANIA, TOO THEY tell me there is a newspaper man who has developed a slight attack of megalomania as a result of his interest in this trial. He is convinced he brought it about. He has already decided upon the prisoner's guilt and has announced that the latter will "fry." He feels it is his trial and will be much put out if jury should fail to bring in the right verdict.

This is sad indeed. Fellow writers ought not to laugh at this poor fellow. He is actually convinced that the country is more interested in whether he was right than it is in trying to have solved the mystery in this awful murder. I have worked on one or two big murder cases in my time- -and at one was in at the death. I have seen instances of this self same neuroticism, but not in such pronounced form as exhibited today.

In those days there was no radio to spread the distemper. As the doctors would say, it was confined to local lesions. Happily the attacks were but spasmodic and easily controlled. Throughout the country today there are many persons absorbing the details of this Hauptmann case whose minds, inclined to morbidity, are not really strong enough to meet the constant shock of its daily revelations. These borderland people, psychic wrecks whose natures are stirred by unduly emphasized recitals of crime, become for the time mentally unbalanced and finally a prey to hallucination.

Headline writers, of course, have to shriek the news in their largest, blackest type. Broadcasters, to impart the proper pep, put thrills and overtones into their announcements which make the listeners' hearts leap. In a little while the combined forces breeds mad hysteria which seizes upon the whole community. The electric atmosphere pervades even the courtroom and cannot help but have its subtle effect upon the jury. Spectators, thrilled with this outside voltage of feeling, disregard orders of the court and break into applause whenever the counsel for I the defense fails to score.

Insensibly these impressions are recorded upon the hearts of the 12 who sit in the jury box. A HIPPODROME A HIPPODROME IN a manner of speaking the court room in Flemington, which ought to be the principal theatre of this drama, and to which all action should be confined, has been shoved into the background. The Lindbergh baby, pitiful victim whose shocking death gave rise to it all, has been for the nonce all but forgotten. The sorrowing parents have sunk to minor parts in the cast. Other actors have grabbed the spotlight.

Showmen who see in it an opportunity to exploit their wares greedily seize upon the opportunity to strut before the multitude. A pageant of publicity seekers is paraded before the nation. Microphones are thundering the story into every quiet home in every part of the land. Favorite hours on the radio have been forgotten. Amos and Andy might as well be deaf and dumb for all the attention they now receive.

The people, as a result, have gone hysterical over the Hauptmann case. It has ceased to be a trial. It is a hippodrome in which the popular mind, as in olden times, has been whipped into such a frenzy that none would be surprised should it shout for blood. WHAT IS BEHIND IT? stating merely that it consisted of personal property valued at "over $1,000." The estate is divided into five equal parts. One is left in equal shares to St.

Vincent's Home for Boys, St. Mary's Hospital, the Catholic Centre for Blind and to children of the decedent's son Frank, and to the children of a daughter, Gertrude Bartelotti.

Nieman, who lived at 101 Lafayette and died Jan.

3, left estate of about $6,000. Her will directs that the residue be paid to her sister-in-law, Caroline K. Nieman. of the Lafayette ave. address, who also is to receive jewelry and a plot in Evergreens Cemetery.

The premises at 8945 125th Richmond Hill, are to be held in trust and the income paid to a nephew, Robert E. Diamond. He is to receive the income during his minority and the principal upon reaching the age of 21 years. An estate of "more than $1,000 in personal property" is distributed in the will Katherine Lacey, who died in her home, 414 62d Nov. 19.

Institutions Share in Will Small legacies are provided for several institutions in the will of Morris Miller, late of 145 Harrison who died in Beth Hospital on Dec. 28, leaving an estate of more than $1.000 in real property. After directing that $300 be set aside for a headstone the testatrix directs that one-third of the residue be given to his widow, Clara, of 136 Ridge Manhattan. The sum $500 each is to go to Pride of Judea Orphans Home, the Jewish National Fund of America, the Talmud Torah Sarris Israel and Ladies' Auxiliary.

The remainder of the residue is left to a daughter, Belle Friedman, and four grandchildren, Reuben, Louis, Charlotte and Miriam Friedman. Elise I. Kidney, who died Jan. 9 in her home, 90 72d left an estate of real and personal property valued at $17,000. The sum of $500 is bequeathed to the decedent's aunt, Fannie Kidney.

I UNDERSTAND that quite some opposition is brewing against Senate Bill 18, said to have the sanction of the Governor, and is designed to permit the State to take over all workmen's compensatior: insurance collections.

In other words, as explained to me, all private agencies now engaged in this work, are to be excluded--if thsi bill goes throughand the State is to have a complete monopoly of business. Now the worst feature of this legislation, accordir.g to its ponents, is the fact that, should nite be enacted, thousands of men and women all over the State--the largest number here in the city--will be thrown out of work. The estimated number of probable unemployed as a result of this measure varies anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 persons. This is the service angle. Why throw a vast number out of work at a time when government everywhere is seeking rather to create jobs and keep down the numbers of the unemployed? And what is really behind this measure? Some believe it is the first step toward compelling everyone to take out insurance of one kind or ar.other--whether they like it or not.

Under State auspices there would be no a argument about it. The State would order it done and--it being a government order-we should all have to obey. This is another angle which opponents of the legislation do not like. It smacks strongly of State interference in private business and private affairs and comes close to State Socialism. By creating compulsory, universal insurance handled exclusively by the State -there would result increased revenue for the State government.

Which would, of course, mean the wiping out of all private agencies, with consequent loss of ployment by thousands of workers. The setting up of new government bureaus all over the State, with thousands of places for job holders. And costly bureaucratic government for which in thmund the thrice-taxed citizens pay heavily. At least that is the way it is painted to me by numerous persons whose jobs are affected and who, perhaps, see the danger more clearly than the rest of us whoat this writing--haven't awakened to what is going on.
