The reading public will welcome
one of MacMillan's newest auto
‘biographies and will acclaim it
with great gusto. The particular
volume we are speaking of is Jane
Addams ' FORTY YEARS AT
HULL HOUSE. Possibly a great
many of you read this when it
was issued separately as TWEN
TY YEARS AT HULL-HOUSE
and SECOND TWENTY YEARS
AT HULL-HOUSE.
Miss Addams tells in a vigorous
manner of the tortile struggles of
a mass of less privileged human
ity earnestly striving for sheer
existence in Chicago’'s poorer res
jdential section, known as Hull-
House. The regidents of this sec
tion were of numerous nationali
‘ties and of equally diverse cus
toms and beliefs.
Considered one of America’s
twelve greatest women, and the
recipient of numerous national
and international honors for her
humane work, Miss Addams tells
in no balking terms the actual
conditions at Hull-House. She is
at her best, perhaps, when enum
erating one of the numerous “‘ex
amples” of Hull-House, telling of
hisg failure or of his success,
HERE'S ONE
And that reminds us of her
little foreigner who came to
Hull-House school a bit intox
icated. When one of the
teachers took the child home
and attempted to explain to
the child’'s mother, who had
fed the child bread soaked in
wine for breakfast, the moth
er replied, “But we don't have
any whiskey” — or something
' to that effect.
This i only omne instance of
how easily American habits—good
and bad-—are misunderstood. It
was with this body of immigrants
that Jane Addams and her assist
ants started settlement work. Her
style is not that of “take-it-or-
Jeave-it” but rather an intensely
animated plen for “better living
conditions and international un
derstanding and friendship—a plea
that finds support in the half
clothed youngster and the half
starved child, in the dirty raga
muffan and the alley-fed orphan.
She succeeds in subordinating
the personal “I” to the more in
clusve “we” thereby presenting
an excellent conception of con
temporary social legislation and
its effects. :
In her chapter on “Efforts to
Humanize Justice,” she points
out that our word “lynching”
sprang from the name of Judge
Lynch, an Irish magistrate, who
so sternly respected the law. Such
i« a good example of how the
English language sometimes be
comes ‘“‘twisted” through misun
derstanding.
The volume 1s profusely illus
trated with numerous plates and
sketeches., The two books in one
volume comprise over 800 pages
of straight-forward composition.
with an afterword by Lillian D.
‘Wald, who gives the life of Miss
Addams from the time of her last
20 years at Hull-House until her
death.

BY RUTH CUSTER
Should” Georgia have a state un
employment insurance act or should
she contribute indefinitely to fed
eral funds and receive no bene
fits?
By establishing a state unem
ployment insurance act Georgia
has everything to gain and nothing
to lJose in the opinion of Prof. H.
M. Heckman who reviewed the
galient features of the social secur
ity act at the weekly meeting or
the economics seminar Friday
afternoon in the Commerce build
ing, |
“The whole aim of the unem
ployment section,” Prof. Heckman
continued, “is to force stateg 1,01
enact unemployment laws. It ls‘
the first decisive step in Amerlca'n]
first nationwide program of social
security.” 1
If our act is patterned on the
law ag passed by the gederal gov-|
ernment, Mr. Heckman said, then
there would be no added costs other
than that industry would have to
report every employee’s identifica
tion, .total labor expense, hourage,

also allowances other than cash

point program:
1. Congress would empower
the secretary of agriculture to
provide for rental and withdrawal
from commercial production — at
equitdble rates—land necessary to
promote soil conservation and to
balance domestic production with
demand “‘‘at profitable prices”’.
Three methods for payment of
cash to farmers were suggested.
2. Congress would appropriate
“adequate funds'—unofficially es
timated at about $500,000,000 for
this year—for the soil conserva
tion and price adjustment pro
gram.
3. “Reasonable taxes” would be
levied on processing of livestock
and dairy products, the proceeds
to be used to “expand foreign and
domestic outlets,”
4. Valid provisions of the AAA
such as those authorizing market
ing agreements would be “retain
ed ang strengthened”, and a pro
vision allocating to the agricul
ture department 80 per cent of
customs receipts for expansion of
farm markets would remain.
5. Marketing of commodities
coming under federal control
would he handled through farm
cooperatives qualified under the
Capper-Volstead act.
6. The “American market” would
be preserved for the “American
farmer” and expansion of foreign
markets would be promoted.
7. linal decision on the ques
tion of new taxes and similar Is
sues was deferced for “continuing
action and attention” by organized
farm groups.
(Cash payments to farmers un
der the recommendations could be
made by government rental of a
given percentage of the cultivated
acreage; by fixing a quota for the
volume of products, or on a basis
involving both acreage and vol
ume. Such payments would be
_conditioned on the individual
farmer adjusting his cultivated
acreage for preservation of soil
fertility and “proper stabilization
and maintenance of adequate
price levels.” :
William Settle of Indiana, con
ference chairman. said the matter
of pushing legislation through con
gress would be left to organized
farm groups, which will remain
here for meetings next week.
Authoritative sources said the
secretly prepared farm bill would
be altered immediately where
necessary to conform to the
“principles” adopted by the farm
ers and probably would appear on
Capitol Hill within a few days.
Wallace, Davis, Chairman Smith
(D.-S. C.) of the senate agricul
tural committee, and Chairman
Jones (D.-Texas) of the house ag
riculture committee had conferred
during the day with the commit
tee of 13 which drafted the rec

“¥ndustry as a whole,” declar
ed 'Prof. Heckman, “little realizes
that the taxes under the social
security act may be greater than
present taxes and property taxes,
and capital stock taxes, and excess
profit taxes all combined.”

ties, which is the other main pur
'p()se of the social security act.
|would be handled solely by federal
|employees, Mr. Heckman said. The
|taxeg for this would be paid into

]tacked on the basis of taxes for
|speciflc purposes. A specific amount
’would be appropriated regardless

Adams said prospective plantingm

be as large in that section as in

At Barnesville, Mrs. J. E. Bush
said farmers stood to lose about
$8,400. She said $40,000 benefits

Perplexity over next year's crop
prospects was described at At

John W. Hammond Saturday as
the chief reaction of Georgia farm
ers to invalidation of the AAA,
“As a general thing the farmers
with more than three-horse farms
liked the AAA and those with
smaller ones didn't,” he gaid. “They
don't know what to count on for

“M‘:iny have been using their

state prison to break the news to
Hauptmann.
The defense attitude was best
voiced by the prisoner’s wife, who
said:
“I don't know anything abour
law, but I realize there can’'t be
much léft to fight with now; but
we will go on—to the end of the
road.”
She went immediately to the
prison, sobbing convulsively out
side as she awaited admission. She
was told, showever, that she could
not see her husband, as it was afr
er visiting hours, and that it woula
also be impossible for her to see
him tomorrow. She sald she would
go to New York and return next
week,
The court's decision was given in
these words: .
“The application for clemency of
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, sen
tenced to death for the murder of
Charles A. Lindbergh, jr., at Hope
well, March 2, 1932, was today
denied. (The Kkidnaping occured
March 1.) ’
“Under the traditional rules of
the board of pardons, all members
of the board and all those wha
participated in the hearing, are
bound to hold in confidence all
proceedings of the board.” .
Events Cloaked
This regulation effectively cloak
ed the events that took plage in
the chambers of the court or er=
rors and appealg in the statehouse
annex where the hearing took
place.
It had been intimated prior to
the hearing that the defense would
have new evidence of a nature
sufficient to save the 39-year-old
carpenter, but there was nothing
to indicate that any such evidence
was produced.
Among exhibitg studied by the
mercy court were the kidnap lad
der down which, the state charged,
Hauptmann carried the Lindbergh
baby from its gecond floor nursery
at the Lindbergh’s Hopewell estate
that March night; the ransom
notes which experts said Haupt
mann wrote; and mercy appeals
which included a letter from
Hauptmann's mother in Germany
and from his spiritual adviser.
The state, whose attorney gener
al David T. Wilentz, personally di
rected Hauptmann’'’s prosecution at
Flemington, offered no formal ope
position to the clemency plea, but
it declined to join in the request
‘that he be granted mercy.
Lost Every Effort
From the start Hauptmann has
lost in every effort to escape pun
ishment for the nation’s most wide
ly known crime. Arrested in New
York when ransom bills were found
in his possession, he lost his ef
fort to prevent extradition to New
Jersey. He lost also at Fleminge
ton; in his appeal to the court of
errors and appeals; to the supreme
court of the United States, ana
now in his appeal for clemency.
A statement by Governor Hoff
man before Saturday’s meeting of
the board was accepted by Haupt-

mann's fields as holding hope for
him, but the decision Saturday
night plunged them into hopeless
gloom,
The governor had expressed be
lief that the ends of justice woula
not be fully served with Haupt
mann’s execution. The young chier
executive also ‘had expressed the
opinion that the sudden departure
from the country yesterday of Dr.
John F, Condon — “Jafsie’ — was
“highly significant.”
The publication during the week
in a national magazine of a series
of articles entitled ‘Jafsie Tells
All” indicated, the governor bheliev
ed, that Condon might have know
ledge of the case of value to the
pardons court in its deliberation.
It was said earlier in the day
that the governor would ask the
attorney-general to have Condon
return at once from his South
American eruise. No steps had
been taken late Saturday night,
however, and the attorney general
said:
“I have been asked nothing about
Dr. Condon, and nothing will be
done about Dr. Condon.”
The aged Bronx schoolmaster
and Col. Lindbergh—both of whom
are now out of the country—were
leading witnesres for the prosecu
tion in the Flemington trial. Each
of them identified Hauptmann as
the man in the Bronx cemetery to
whom Condon paid $50,000 of Col.
Lindbergh’s money as ransom.
Kach of them said the voice of the
extortionist was “the voice of
Hauptmann.”
‘With the pardons court through
with the case, officials of the state
prison went forward with plans
for the execution. Ordinarily, exe
cutions are held in New Jersey on
Tuesday nights. In this case, how
ever, the warden, Col. Mark Kim
berling, has delayed the date for
execution until Friday night.
It would not be impossible for
the pardons court to reopen the
case, although most unusual.
“I do not believe the full ends
of justice will be served with the
execution of Hauptmann,” Gover
nor Hoffman said earlier Saturday.
The court began its secret ses
sion at 10:37 o’clock Saturday
morning in the office of the gover
nor. The noise of many people
congregated in the corridors, how
ever, caused the court to move
soon afterward to the chambers of
the court of errors and appeals.

WRITER REVIEWS
HAUPTMANN CASE
(Continued From Page One)
about that part- of the ransom
currency—about $30,000 of it—
which was never found?
‘What is the explanation of how
Hauptmann happened to be in
Hopewell on a night and at a
time when only the immediate
members of the household were
aware that the Lindberghs were
to remain there instead of return
ing to Englewoodg as had been
their unbroken cusotm?
What, if anything, happened to
the kidnap ladder between the
time it was found and the day it
was produced in court?
‘Without in any sense challeng
ing the jury’s verdict of guilty,
there have been many persons
who have asked Governor Hoff
man of New Jersey if it is not
possit;le to find a full answer to
these questions.
These correspondents of New
Jersey's chief executive have been
given pause by the fact that
Hauptmann’s story, bizarre and
difficult to Dbelieve as it is, has
never been changed.
Got the Money
He got the ransom money hei
said from his former. partner, |
Isador Fisch. lisch went to (;er-l
many and died. The rain, soaking |
through the roof, wet the card-i
board box in which the money
was packed, disclosing it to!
Hauptmann’s view. He took it.
That was his story on the day
of his arrest in September, 1934,
and it is his story today. The!
state says the steadfastness of‘
Hauptmann's story is of no sig-i
nificance, so far as the facts of|
his guilt are concerned. Somei
psychologists have explained it byi
saying that he is a ‘“man of
steel”—a man. adapant to emo
tion and one lacking normal re
actions. d
Hauptmann's own explanation
is: that he has told the same story
without change because it is the
only story he knows; that it is the
truth.
I it were the truth he has!
found himsélf in a most unfortu
nate dilemma, lacking the sub
stantiation that Fisch might have]
been able to give. |
In . whichever direction his law
yvers attempted to leap in the at
tempt to free him they were al
ways confronted with the unde
niable ecircumstance that ransom
bills were found not only upon
his person but concealed—care
fully concealed— about the Bronx
premises where he lived.
The fact of concealment appear
ed prime facie evidence of some
guilty conscience. The state ar
'gued that it was the conscience
of a baby killer.
The testimony of the handwrit
ing experts that the entire series
of ransom notes, including the
one found on the window sill of
the baby's nursery, was Wwritten
'by Hauptmann went far to seal
Ihis doom. The amazing scientific
testimony that part of the wood
in the kidnap ladder came from
’Hauptmarm’s Bronx home was
another damaging blow.
} He offered an alibi for the
night of March 1, 1932, but it was
’not too strong; and to offset it
there was testimony that he had
tbeen seen in the vicinity of the
Hopewell property on the murder
day.
‘ The volunteer intermediation by
' the spry elderly schoolmaster,
%John F. Condon, and the surpris
ing consequences of this isolated
i and uunofficial intermediation
- would have seemed extravagant
melodrama if they were in a book
!instead of real life. A 70-year-old
schoolmaster with an ex-pugilist
'as a companion and bodyguard—
an exchange of directions con
ducted through the columns of a
community newspaper—the story
of a strange woman who appeared
in the night, then vanished—all
these add bizarre elements to a
case which in its elementals was
bizarre enough.
Somehow, despite his apparently
’limited means, Hauptmann has
Imade an expensive legal fight
lagainst execution, even going to
the Supreme Court of the United
iStates. Much of the money has
come through the efforts of his
[wm who has addressed numerous
meetings in a campaign for funds.

would preserve neutrality or “pro

The bill before the foreign rela
tions committee is one proposed by
the administration. In general it
is intended to prevent shipments
of all directly military supplies to
belligerents, restrict shipments or‘
raw materials to normal quantities,
and forbid the floating of war lotmsl
in this country. g ‘
Nye and BSenator Clark, Demo
crat, also a member of the muni
tions committee, have introduced a
somewhat stronger bill and plan a
fight on the senate floor for in
clusion of their sharper restrictions
in the measure uftimately passed.
Nye Saturday saw the record of
‘the Morgan investigation to date,
which has dealt with changes in
}Woodrow Wilson’s neutrality policy
iat such times as they became nec
essary to the financial community,
as bearing out the need for the
most scrupulously guarded neu
trality.
