PRICE FIVE CENTS
An attack on the Democratic
party for finding fault with the
Republican administration with-
out offering any program for eco-
nomic betterment and a charge to
voters of the state of Michigan
to re-elect Herbert Hoover to the
presidency because of his own
record and the record of the Re-
publican party, were made last
night by Ernest Lee Jahncke,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
speaking at the fourth of the
series of public addresses spon
sored by the Union, which was
held in the main assembly room.
"During the worst economic crisis
in history," Jahncke stated, "the
Democratic party has proved itsel
to be nothing but a crying void.
Their leaders have publicly admit-
ted that they must promulgate a
constructive program of sufficient
merit to earn the support of the
nation. So far, however, this pro-
gram has not been forthcoming."
Torn With Dissention.
He stated that 'the Democratic
party was so torn with dissention
on many important issues that
there would be no stand taken on
these during the coming campaign
period.
Anti-protectionists will be sent
to attack the tariff where this is
expedient and the stringency of our
immigration laws will be denoune-
: ed where foreign populations are
extremely large, Jahncke said.
"Other subjects on which -there
is no party unanimity will be dis-
cussed, where it is convenient, by
those holding views similar to the
citizens of the localities," he said.
On the other hand, Jahncke be-
lieves that the Republican party
offers to the electorate:
"Its record in the past 70 years.
54 of which have been years of Re-
publican administration, during
which the United States emerged
from a minor position in the affairs
of the world to become the greatest
power on earth.
"Magnificent Ability."
"Its candidate, a man who, with
magnificent ability, splendid cour-
age, and unfailing energy is guid-
ing our nation through one of the
most troubled periods the world has
ever known, Herbert Hoover."
He stated that his friends of the
opposition would join hands and
sing in chorus about one totem pole,
the depression. This is the one
ground where all Democrats tread
unanimously.
"Their campaign will be waged
almost exclusively on the theory
that because we have suffered eco-
nomic reverses, the people will turn
against the party in power," he
said.
"I am confident," Jahncke said
in closing, "that when the citizens
of this country make their choice
between the record of the Repub-
licans and that of our opponents,
the result will be the overwhelming
re-election of Herbert Hoover as
president of the United States."

FIND EARLIER PLOT
IN LINDBERGH CASE
'Important Lead' Thought Found1
in Kidnapping as Mystery
Prisoner Confesses.
JERSEY CITY, N. J., March 15.1
-(P)-A lead in the two-week-old
L-indbergh kidnapping case, de-
scribed as "important enough to be
taken seriously," was being tracked
down tonight by detectives, as they
investigated the story of an old
plot to steal the famous flier's son
The importance of the clew wa.s
stressed by Joseph Fishman, dep-
uty commissioner of corrections of
New York city, after he had
brought a prisoner from the Tombs
Prison in New York city to Jer-
sey City to confront two persons
he charged with being in on the
plot.
The prisoner,' who has been a
mysterious figure in the case for
days, and was interviewed in the
Tombs by a confidential represen-
tative of Col. Lindbergh last week
was identified today as John Smith.
It was learned, however, his real
name is Charles Fitzgerald.
Present at the conference of
Tersey City and Newark police of-
ficials were William Gleason and v
woman, identified as Mrs. Cather-
ine Danusek. They were taken
'nto custody for questioning yester-
lay.
Fitzgerald's story is that he
3leason, Mrs. Danusek and two
ethers planned to kidnap the Lind-
bergh boy months ago, that Mrs
Danusek was to take care of the
baby after he had been abducted.
mut that he (Fitzgerald) was ar-
rested and jailed before the plan
,materialized.
Herwas equoted as saying one
'contact" had been made with
3etty Gow, the Lindbergh child's
nursemaid.
State Police at Hopewell, how-
ver, a short time before, had re-
terated an almost daily statement
that "so far nothing has been dis-
:;overed that would connect Betty
-row with this crime."
LACK OF PLEDGES
FR0CES CLOSING
OF SIGMA ZETA
House Manager Blames
Deferred Rushing
for Situation.
HERE SINCE 1920
Is First Fraternity to
Succumb to New
System.
The first fraternity to fall vic-
tim to deferred rushing made an
announcement last night it would
officially close its doors tomor-
row.
The local chapter of Sigma
Zeta, general national fraternity,
which was established here in
1920, found it impractical to con-
tinue operating since they ob-
tained no pledges this semester,
acording to Edward J. Pomorski,
'33A, house manager.
"We have found it unprofitable
to run the kitchen, and with noth-
ing to hold the members together
have decided to close up," Pomor-
ski said. The house is located at
314 North Ingalls street.
Several Move Out.
Fourteen men are listed in a
fraternity handbook as belonging
to the fraternity, but members re-
fused last night to tell how many
have been living there this semes-
ter. Several have already move
out, however, they said.
Pomorski attributed the action
to the failure to get pledges, and
'Aamed the situation on deferred
rushing. He inferred that if Sigma
Zeta had obtained even a small
number of pledges they could
have survived the present crisis.
Sigma Zeta has four chapters.
it was founded in 1926, the local
1 house joining it six years after
ts own establishment as a local
!sere.
Despite the general outcry of
fraternities on the announcement
of the pledging list, and their
statements that they were being
orced into bankruptcy, this is
the first instance in which the
seared denouement has come
about.
