WASHINGTON — BEarly budget
palancing officially became a joke
on the morning of Jan 5.
With a hey nonny nonny and a
ha-ha-ha!
It was in President Roosevelt’s
new office, ~Where the president
qas carefully explaining his new
pudget to 2 hundred correspond
ents, as a school teacher might
give an arithmetic llesson.
He was flanked by young Bud
get Director Dan Bell and, more
importantly, by Secretary Henry
Morgenthau, who is the real bud
get boss now, in case you hadn’t
heard.
Roosevelt wise-cracked that
they'd tried to get the budget so
cimple that even he could under
stand it and you'd probably have
enjoved being there, just to see
the way everybody tossed the hil
lions around the room.
Very blithely, the president said:
«we will have to borrow only $3,-
788,000,000 next year”.
The only trouble was that there
are drafts in this many-windowed
office and one fears that ‘Mr.
Roosevelt will soon again be - de
veloping a bad cold.
Last year he had said we should
plan to have a definitely balanced
budget by the fiscal year 1935-36
and now he was estimating g 1935-
36 gross deficit of $4,528,000,000.
Some of the boys seemed a bit
disturbed about that.
“Are you now looking forward
to a balanced budget at the '‘end
of some other year?” wone ques
tioned,
“l hope so”, came the answer
with a merry laugh. “Hope springs
eternal!” 3
After that, it was everybody’s
cue to laugh when anybody tried
t 0 pin the president down as to
when budget balancing might be
hoped for. VEN
He estimated next year’s deficit
as smaller than this one by about
three hundred millions and hoped
to keep on reducing them, but—
He insisted what he had said
last year about balancing the bud
get this year was merely expres
sion of “a very pious hope.”
Finally, you began to get the
point that this gay and grinning
president was really laughing
at the bankers and business. men
who keep telling him to balanee
that budget. In effect, he was
telling them: “Balance it yoursel-
)
He meant tnct private indlil;itrl:zfll

Doint that the budget really w:el
beiug balanced — except for t >
four million dollars he wants a]; }
propriated for relief work in 193 -“
38,
The budget was so arranged as
to throw the challenge smack in‘
the face of the loudest advocates
of budget balancing.
} The only time he got serious
about it was when a correspon-
Gent persisted in wanting to know ‘
Whether there wasn’t any flgu!‘e‘;

Athens Fought For Nearly
Four Years To Establish A
City-Owned Water System
Two Bond Elections Held
Before Work on Plant
Was Started
LONG COURT FIGHT
Citizens Cot Riled But
Patience and Determi
nation Finally Won

By DAN MAGILL
“Everything is lovely and the
goose hangs high”.
With this exultant note the
Athens Banner of March 15, 1892
announced the success of an elec
tion to issue $125,000 in bonds to
build a municipal waterwprks.
The goose may have hung high
on that March morning when Edi
tor T. W. Reed’s paper announced
that the bond election had gone
over the top by a vote of 795 to
3, but before the first stream of
water flowed through city-owned
mains the entire question went
through the state courts twice and
finally was tied up by injunctions
and other litigation in the New
York courts for so long a time that
the patience even of The Banner,
ardent supporter of the water
works movement, as well as a
growing number of citizens, had
been worn to a frazzle and the
matter had become a bone of con
tention in municipal politics.
As is usual in movements of
this kind, the burden fell on the
shoulders of a relatively few citi
zens. In the long court battle
which finally ended in 1894, when
a New York judge gave a decision
which sided with the City of Ath
ens in an injunction suit brought
by Mr. Howell, there was consid
erable murmuring amongst the cit
izens, many of them privately
voicing their disapproval, and the
supporters of the movement were
forced to work heroically to get
the people to the polls in sufficient
numbers to authorize the bond is
sues. The determination and pa
tience of the proponents of the city
water system finally won, but it is
more than likely that many were the
times when they privately felt like
chucking the whole business. Not
withstanding their private feelings,
{they turned to the public an ex
terior exuding confidence gnd op
timism, reassuring Doubting Thom
ases that everything would come
out all right in the end. At times,
though, it appeared that the jig
was up.
But the municipal waterworks
wag finally established and, after
three months operation, the water
works commission proudly report-

Dr. John F. Condon, the 74-year-old Bronx schoolteacher, who as
“Jafsie” tried to contact the Lindberg kidnapers and passed $50,000 of
ransom money to a mysterious man now alleged by the state to have
been Bruno Hauptmann, today faced a relentless cross-examination by
Edward Jay Reilly, chief defense counsel in the famous trial. The
above photo clearly shows the strain under which Condon has been for
the past two days during direct and cross-examination.

The “John Condon” who took
a book on symbols from the

his men had reported no suc
cess in finding the man. The
signer of the library card gave
his address as Philadelphia.
Chief Defense Counsel Reilly

cross examination of Dr. John

Waited Five Months to
Tell Public He Had
“Found the Man”’
BY DONALD C. BOLLES

TRENTON, N, J. — (# — Dr.
John F, Condon waiteq five months
to tell the public that he had come
to the end of his hunt for the col
lector of the Lindbergh Kkidnaping
ransom because he “wanted to be
fair,”
The 74-year-old Bronx educator
said in an interview, before return
ing to Flemington to teStity today,
that he knew his search was over
when he confronted Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in a New York police
line-up the day after the carpen
ter's arrest.
The police gave out the informa
tion that “Jafsie” had “partly iden
tified” the prisoner and Dr, Candon
let it go at that.
When the time came yesterday
to tell his story to twelve jurors
and a court room jammed with
tense, eager spectators, he was
never at a loss for a word.
“I wasn’'t any more nervous than
I am now,” said Dr. Condon.
“l knew Hauptmamn the first
time I saw him in the Greenwich
street police station, but I refused
to identify him because it wasn't
fair in the confusion that existed

FLEMINGTON, N. J.—Counsel
for Bruno Richard Hauptmann st
tempted unsuccéssfully today to
show through Dr. John F. (Jaf
sie) Condon that the Lindbergh
baby was stolen by a gang. ', a:.s
Questions of this line ha.mmhg
at the state’s star accused =
Hauptmann by Edward J. Reik;
produced only negative answers,
as he remained unshaken thrt’)‘&%
hostile cross-examination. b
The aged educator, who yester
day identified Hauptmann as the
mysterious “John” of the Lind
bergh ransom, didn't remember
ever telling anybody that he be
lieved a gang kidnaped the baby,
and he denjed the attorney’'s as~
sertion that he had told-a newss
paperman the baby’s -body had
been brought back to the spet
where it was found in the w
a few miles from the Hope 1
home of the Lindberghs.
He also ignored the attorney’s
use of the term “the chief”, when
asking if the box, in which ‘the
ransom money was placed had
been planned and ordered by “the
chief.” Jafsie said the box was or
dered by Colonel Lindbergh and
Attorney Henry Breckinridge and
built by a New York woodcarvei.
Jafsie howed low poitely to Wi
entz when the attorney general
told him to resume” the witness
stand. He looked kindly at the
arors. i
Reilly opened up on the ransom
note which led to Cendon’s Weod
lawn cemetery tryst with “John.”
“I picked that up wunder _the
rock,” he said when asked to iden
tify another note found under a
stone in front of a deserted Jer
ome avenue hot dog stand. '
It did not bear the kidnap syms
hol he acknowledged. SET
Frequent Delays e
Hunts for various ransom note
exhibits caused fraquent little de
lays in the testimony. ¥
