Gov. Hoffman
Still Contests
Jury's Verdict
Continues His Challenge
That Jersey Justice Had
Been Served
Wendel Still Held
In Murder Charge
Awaits Hearing Of Grand
Jury; Charges Are Not
Taken Seriously
TRENTON, N. J., April 4.--(P) -
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, dead at
last from the avenging volts of Jer-
sey Justice but a living issue still in
Jersey politics, was taken from his
last prison place-the dingy, death-
house morgue-late today.
With the removal of his body by a
New York undertaker acting under
orders of his widow, New Jersey
would have liked to have written
"closed" to the, blotted pages of her
most famous crime, the Lindbergh
baby murder. But several agencies,
topped by Governor Harold G. Hoff-
man himself, continued today 'to
challenge that Jersey justice had
been served.
Body Removed
Even as the hearse was rolling
slowly along the sombre street that
edges the prison walls, a man was
held in jail less than a mile distant
on a formal charge that he, not
H uptmann, kidnaped and killed the
blond baby son of the Charles A.
Lindberghs the night of March 1,
1932.
And even as the widow who cried
out at the execution hour last night,
"Oh God, why did you have to do
this?" was arranging for cremation
of the man she fought desperately
to the last moment to save, a new
charge of kidnaping awaited grand
jury consideration in nearby Hunter-
don County.
Wendel Held
The mdanheld here for the Lind-
bergh murder and the man charged
in Hunterdon County-in a com-
plaint by Mrs. Hauptmann herself-
with the Lindbergh kidnaping, is Paul
H. Wendel.
No one takes seriously the charges,
-no one, that is, save Burlington
County's famous "Country Detec-
tive," Ellis Parker, whose independ-
ent investigation led to Wendel's
arrest-but the charges remain. The
49-year-old salesman cannot leave
his cell until the murder charge is 1
disposed of and the Hunterdon Coun-
ty detainer which has been placed
against him is dropped.
Governor Hoffman, who to the last
sought some way to intervene in'
Hauptmann's behalf, struck back
sharply today as a political reper-
cussion to the Hauptmann case
sounded in the capital.

Two Debate Teams

CHICAGO, April 4. -The Univer-
sity of Michigan debating teams failed
to place here today in the Western
Conference Debating contest, as the

bates in which they participated.
Purdue, last year's victor, placed
second, winning three out of six de-
bates. The Universities of Wiscon-
sin, Chicago, Indiana and Minnesota
also failed to place.

Resolves Conflict
Resolving this apparent conflict in
terms of its psychological aspects,
Prof. Norman Maier of the psychol-
ogy department asserted in an inter-
view yesterday that completely re-
petitive or automatic jobs should
tend actually to decrease the mon-
otony and boredom of factory labor.
The central problem, he pointed
out, is one of making the jobs so
automatic, the physical motions in-
volved so smoothly and efficiently
organized that the attention re-
quired by the job will be reduced to
a minimum. Boredom results only in
tasks requiring continued attention
and yet routine in nature.
Fatigue Arises
It is in the repetitive jobs re-
quiring prolonged and tedious mental
concentration, or the jobs in which
the "speed-up" is used to increase
productivity beyond the worker's
natural capacities, that fatigue, bore-
dom and industrial unrest arise, Pro-
fessor Maier believes.
It is to be remembered in this con-
nection, he continued,. that Charlie

Addis Ababa Is
Terrorized By
Italian Planes
City Seized By Panic As
Machine Guns Spray
Local Airfield
ADDIS ABABA, ,April 4. - (') --
Five Italian airplanes terrorized the
capital of Ethiopia today, sprayed the
local airfield with machine gun bul-
lets, destroyed an antiquated air-
plane, and then retired over the
mountains.
The property damage was small, but
the moral effect of the Italian gesture
was immense.
The city was seized by panic, for the
air squad cruised leisurely over the
city for 45 minutes, ignoring a ground
fire of rifles manned, for the most
part, by aged veterans of the Italo-
Ethiopian war of 1896.
The Italians chose the psycholog-
ical moment when the capital was
crowded with farmers doing their
Saturday marketing. Most of them
fled toward the hills, but crowds re-
mained around the imperial palace
and cheered Empress Mennen when
she toured the city to see for herself
what damage had been done.
Other air squads were reported to
have attacked Jijiga and Diredawa to-
day in similar fashion. In no case
were casualties reported.
The Italian air attack on Addis
Ababa had an immediate effect on
the League of Nations. The "Com-
mittee of 13" of the League Council
-consisting of every member of the
council except Italy - was summoned
to meet April 8.
The committee will consider what
likelihood there is for peace between
Italy and Ethiopia in the light of

State To Investigate
Records Of O'Shea
DETROIT, April 4. - (P)- State
investigators will start a thorough
search next week of records of a loan
business conducted in 1932 by James
J. O'Shea, banker, in an attempt to
trace from the beginningthe tangled
skein of city finances resulting in
a $349,000 trust fund deficit.
This turn to the investigation was
given by Guy K. Bard, special assis-
tant United States attorney-general,
who reported O'Shea loaned funds
furnished by Detroit businessmen and
money taken from the estate of Alex
F. Lewis, welfare swindler, by Harry
M. Tyler, former assistant city budget
director.
O'Shea made miny loans, Bard
said, to property owners who had con-
demnation awards due them from the
city in street widening projects.

Wallace Promises His Aid
In Efforts To Compile
Data For Committee
WASHINGTON, April 4. - (/P)-
AIn two swift, surprise moves, the Sen-
ate Agriculture Committee voted to-
day to attempt to override the Presi-
dent's veto of the $50,000,000 feed and
seed loan bill, and to demand from
Secretary Wallace a full report on big
AAA benefit payments.
So unexpected was the decision to
force a Senate vote on the seed loan
veto that leaders were chary of public
predictions as to the outcome. Pri-
vately, it was argued that either
the Senate, or House, would sustain
the President.
Thirty-nine days have elapsed since
President Roosevelt refused to sign
the measure. The same Senate group
that today favored a vote to override
had decided weeks ago to let the
veto stand. The reversal was attrib-
uted to what some Senators termed
the failure of farmers to obtain loans.
Despitea $30,000,000 fund promised
by the Chief Executive.
Vandenberg Wants Report
The reporting out of the resolution
by Senator Vandenberg calling upon
Secretary Wallace for a report on big
benefit payments, also was hinted by
some committeemen to involve a re-
versal.
The agriculture secretary, who at
first asserted that the compiling of
these figures would tie up the ma-
chinery for putting the new soil con-
servation plan into operation, and
later spoke jocularly of the proposal,
was reported by committeemen to
have come forward in the past few
days with a pledge of cooperation in
efforts to compile the data.

Dean Bursley
Are Losing 'Better'
StIdents, He Says
Wahr Says Congestion Is
Approaching Wartime
Emergency
By WILLIAM J. De LANCEY
Loss of prospective University stu-
dents of desired cultural background
was stressed yesterday by Joseph A.
Bursley, dean of students, as the in-
evitable result of inadequate hous-
ing facilities, since the early twenties
a growing source of concern for Uni-
versity officials.
This statement, part of a complete
survey presented to the Regents in
their monthly meeting Friday, was
prompted by developments in the re-
cent school year that have aggravat-
ed the crisis.
As an "immediate aim" for the re-
formation program Dean Bursley
urged one and one-half to two mil-
lion dollars be secured for dormitory
construction. "We need dormitories,
we need them now, for after all what
good will all else do us if we do not
have the right kind of a student
body and we cannot have the right
kind, if we cannot supply it with
proper living quarters," he empha-
sized.
Wahr Compiles Statistics
Compilation of statistics in the
survey was directed by Prof. Fred B.
Wahr, assistant dean of students,
who pictured present conditions as
tending towards a duplication of the
grave wartime emergency in the
housing situation. In this period
single rooms and all available quar-
ters were hastily pressed into use as
double rooms. Although this con-
gestion problem was successfully at-
tacked, over-crowding has always
been imminent, Dean Wahr pointed
out,regretting that "now again many
men students are living under condi-
tions that are to be deeply regretted."
Direct intervention by the Univers-
ity in the present situation was ad-
vised by Dean Wahr, who saw Ann
Arbor, growing less rapidly than the
University, as being unable to meet
the demands of a steadily increasing
student population. "These agencies
(privately owned rooming houses) no
longer furnish a complete solution to
the housing problem at Michigan,"
he stated.
University Supervision Needed
"I am convinced that were the Uni-
versity to withdraw from active su-
pervision of the housing conditions,
-haos would result in Ann Arbor, and
this University would be negligent in
carrying out some of its major func-
,ions.
Although the number of men stu-
lents has increased over 600 in the
ast four years, the report presented
,o the Regents reveals a decline over
% ten-year period in the accommoda-
tions of approved rooming houses of
308. The number of houses inspect-
ad has dropped in the same period
from 900 in 1927-28 to 679 in 1934-
35. Accomodations in houses having
:nore than 15 students have been
pruned to a third of the original
number.
Situation Is Acute
"With the purchase last fall of the
two city blocks north of the campus
for the use of the Graduate School,
the housing situation became espe-
Aially acute," Dean Wahr stated. "We
-annot continue to take away more
rooming houses without putting up
something in their place to house our
students."

been effected by the razing of houses

FORT WAYNE, Ind., April 4.-(P)
- Former President Herbert Hoover
continued his attack on the Roose-

that the "most dangerous invasions

been in the economic field" but in "the

"The Supreme Court can check in-
