Bridge Foursome
Claims 4 Perfect
Hands in 1 Deal
Players Call Attorney to
Take Affidavits on
Shuffle and Cut.
By the Assocl&teo Press.
BATAVIA, N. Y., April 24 —A bridge
foursome, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Smith,
Mrs. Frank A. Crehan and A. C.
Capron, still were talking last night
about the four perfect hands they
received—all in one deal.
Mrs. Smith, South, was the dealer;
the cards were shuffled by Mrs. Smith
and cut by Capron. Mrs. Smith saw
all diamonds in her hand and bid
seven diamonds. Smith, West, held
thirteen clubs, but was forced to pass.
Mrs. Crehan. North, who had all
hearts, bid seven hearts, and Capron,
East, won the bid with seven spades.
Capron won the hand with a show
down, adding 1,710 points to the men’s
score. The excited players called
in an attorney, who took affidavits
from the players that the hands were
fairly and legally shuffled, cut and
dealt.
Local authorities said they could
not estimate the rarity of the occur
rence.
TRACKS TO BE TOPIC

7 BOOKS BRING $31,000
Set of Shakespeare's Works Once
Was John Keats’.
NEW YORK, April 24 (fF).—A price
of $31,000 on a small 7-volume set
of Shakespeare’s works added interest
to yesterday’s birth celebrations for
the bard.
The set belonged originally to John
Keats, and students thought that its
worn and thumb-marked pages and
frequent annotations in Keats’ own
handwriting indicated Shakespeare's
Influence on the famous poet.

Use of Proposed Site of
Annex Suggested by
Planning Unit.
The projected site of the Pan
American Union’s annex, between
Constitution and Virginia avenues,
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets,
might be developed as - a memorial
suitable to Pan-American ideals and
the building be constructed on the
northwest corner of the main estab
lishment, at Eigheenth and C streets,
the National Capital Park and Plan
ning Commission suggested at its
meeting yesterday.
Secretary Ickes has strenuously ob
jected to placing the annex on the
site dsignated some time ago by Con
gress now that his new Interior De
partment, just to the north, has been
occupied. Congress is discussing the
proposal to change the existing law
and have the Pan-American Union
Annex built at Eighteenth and C
streets. The Pan-American Union
authorities are considering this pos
sibility.
Commission Not Explicit.
The Planning Commission was not
explicit in its advocacy of a memorial
to the Latin American nations and
their heroes. Members said this
might take the form of statues to
heroes of the republics to the south
or some other type of development
might go forward suitable to the Pan
American nations. The part that
Presidents Washington, Jefferson and
Monroe, in particular, played in the
struggle for Latin American inde
pendence was recalled by the plan
ners. Bolivar and other Latin Amer
ican heroes were discused.
A further study of the southwest
building area for new Government
structures was ordered. John Nolen,
jr., the commission's director of plan
ning, and William T. Partridge, its
consulting architect, together with I
members of the staff, will undertake
this. The new General Accounting
Office, probably the new Social Se
curity Building and others are
projected in the southwest.
Progress on Art Gallery.
The commission reported progress
in having the proposed building line
of the Mellon Art Gallery set farther
back on the north side of the Mall
to conform to other buildings there.
The transfer of a strip of Bolling
Field and the Shepherd Parkway so
the District may construct a highway
in this area was approved, as was a
transfer of land from the Federal Gov
ernment at Loughboro place, adja
cent to the Girls’ Training School,
so that the thoroughfare may be im
1 proved.

WARRANT ISSUED
Prosecutor Probes Charge
Foreign ‘Spy’ Conspired
to Kidnap Baby.
BACKGROUND—
When New Jersey, in 1935, suc
cessfully prosecuted Richard Bruno
Hauptmann for the kidnap-mur
der of the Lindbergh baby, An
thony M. Hauk was one of the
State’s legal battery. Hauptmann
was electrocuted April 3, 1936, after
delay during which Gov. Hoffman,
believing doubt existed as to full
liability for the crime, sought more
evidence. The baby was kidnaped
March 1, 1932.
By the Associated Press.
FLEMINGTON, N. J„ April 24 —
County Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck
sought today details of a Jersey City
detective’s complaint which formed
the basis of a warrant Issued for the
arrest of an “international spy’’ on a
charge of conspiring to kidnap the
Lindbergh baby.
Hauck asked the private detective,
J. J. McNally, to appear at his Clinton
office today with facts in support of
his complaint.
The warrant was issued in nearby
Frenchtown by Justice of the Peace
Embley R. Hummer after a hearing at
which he said McNally and "eight or
nine witnesses” outlined the evidence.
Receiving the warrant yesterday,
Hauck withheld action pending his in
vestigation. He said he instructed
Hummer to return to Frenchtown for
details of the evidence and names of
the witnesses, which the magistrate
did not recall.
McNally, who claimed to have spent
several years investigating the Lind
bergh crime, stated in his information
and belief affidavit that four days be
fore the kidnaping the "spy” “did
conspire to steal and carry away the
person of one Charles Augustus Lind
bergh, jr., from his home.”
The complaint stated that the al- I
leged conspiracy took place at East I
Amwell Township.
McNally's theory was that the plot
was engineered by foreigners whose 1
enmity Col. Lindbergh had incurred.

Appropriations
(Continued From First Page 1
warnings that a Federal sales tax
threatens unless President Roosevelt’s
appeal for economy is taken to heart.
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho
and Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee agreed
that uncontrolled spending would lead
to a sales levy or a broader income tax, ,
"Unless we curb these demands for
more and more money, final resort,
temporarily, to a general sales tax to
pay the bill becomes a very serious
threat Otherwise, we may be forced to
broaden income tax brackets and raise
the rates,” Doughton said.
Almost simultaneously, Borah came
out for a proposal to make localities
pay half the cost of relief projects.
It is "almost a scandal to have the
great cities and States trekking to
Washington about every fortnight,” he
contended. "If they would return home
and cut down their own pay rolls and
expenses, they could come nearer to
feeding the poor without coming to
Washington for help.”
‘‘Crisis Reached,” Says Borah.
"That we have reached a crisis in
taxes and expenditures must be con- j
ceded on all hands,” Borah continued, j
"We've either got to cut expenses, or
we'll be asked to enact a sales tax,
which would be a crime, or lower ex- !
eruptions on income taxes, which
would be a blunder.
"I say blunder because it would
simply continue to diminish the pur
chasing power of a large body of
people, a thing from which we are
already suffering.”
The Idahoan took exception, how
ever, to the effort by Byrnes and
Taber to make a flat 10 per cent re
duction in the appropriations.
"I think there can be a more satis
factory approach," he explained.
“Some items might be cut more than
10 per cent and some not at all.”
Secretary Wallace recently called
tenancy aid one part of the farm pro
gram which might be postponed to
save money. The Bankhead-Jones
bill would require $50,000,000 a year.
The idea of a horizontal reduction
in all Government appropriations ap
peared to be winning more backers in
the Senate than in the House.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee of the Appropriations Com
mittee said he had prepared legisla
tion to carry out that proposal.
Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne
braska, promised “fullest support” for
the Byrnes proposal.
Senator Bankhead, although oppos
ing farm reductions, said he would
favor a cut in military and naval ap
propriations as well as in relief.
Defends “Little Fellow.”
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada was outspoken in his deter
mination to fight a 10 per cent slash,
asserting it would “hit the little fel
low." He said he agreed, however,
that relief funds should be reduced to
$1,000.000,000.
Three Republican members of the
committee urged economy, but ques
tioned the wisdom of an arbitrary
slash. Besides Borah, they were Nye
of North Dakota and Bridges of New
Hampshire.
Senator Hale, Republican, of Maine,
said, however, he was entirely in sym
pathy with Byrnes’ suggestions.
Senators Dully, Democrat, of Wis
consin, and Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, said they would stand by
the President on relief. They asserted
they did not believe a 10 per cent cut
in all appropriations could be worked
out without cutting some departments
too much and others too little.
Greater relief contributions by
States and communities were urged
by Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia.
Administration authorities said the
President’s economy demands probably
would rule out a proposed unemploy
ment census, long sought by both
business and Government interests.
Tentative arrangements for a Jobless
count have been drafted by the Com
merce Department. Twenty-five thou
sand men would be employed for
about three months to check unem
ployment by industries, regions, ages,
se*es and ability to work.
Commerce Department officials said
if the census proposal was rejected, a
count might be made in connection
with the regular decennial census in
1940.

CHICAGO GRAIN
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 24.—Wheat prices
fluctuated Irregularly around the
previous close today, unsettled by
weather conditions in the grain belt.
The market dipped at the opening
on reports of rain in many sections,
particularly in the Spring crop ter
ritory. Later, prices rallied about a
cent from early lows, climbing frac
tionally above the previous clcwe, with
May reaching 1.31%.
This buying was. associated with an
advance of about 2 cents at Liver
pool. In contrast to beneficial mois
ture in some sections of the domestic
wheat belt were reports of dust blow
ing in Texas and Oklahoma, and of
ficial reports of frost possibilities over
the week end in Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri. Crop authorities said, how
ever, it would take heavy frosts to
damage wheat at this stage.
A depressing influence as to wheat
values in all markets, traders said,
is the improved crop prospects in many
major growing areas of the world.
Advices from European producing
nations, including Russia, Hungary
and Rumania, were more favorable.
India's new crop was estimated 24,
000,000 bushels larger than a year
ago, and 10.000,000 bushels of new
Indian wheat already have been
chartered for export in the next
three months.
Around mid-session, wheat was un
