Counsel Prepares
For Mrs. Harriman's
Lottery Defense
Marshals Forces
After Government
Rests Its Case
By the Associated Press.
[ SANTA FE, N. Mex., April 16.—
Counsel for Mrs. Oliver Harriman
and her four co-defendants mar
shaled their forces in Federal Court
today in an effort to refute Govern
ment charges that the group con
spired to violate lottery laws in at
tempting to promote a lottery in
New Mexico in 1938.
The Government late yesterday
rested its case against the five,
charged with a plot to carry New
Mexico-printed sweepstakes tickets
across State lines.
The New York social leader
headed an organization which
sought unsuccessfully to establish a
million-dollar lottery for the an
nounced purpose of benefitting a
New Mexico children’s hospital.
Her co-defendants are Mary De
rieux, Irma Hopper, F. W. Benduhn
and Frank S. White.
Harrison J. Tharp, one of the
original defendants who pleaded no
defense, testified he could not spe
cifically recall that Mrs. Harriman
ever had personal knowledge of the
interstate movement of tickets.
He told the court earlier he and
Benduhn had taken a quantity of
tickets from Albuquerque to Colorado
by automobile in the summer of
1938.
He expressed belief no member of
the Harriman Institute for Social
Research, the lottery promoting
agency, believed “there was any big
money to be made in New Mexico,”
nor did he believe there was any one
in the group "who didn’t know these
tickets were to be sold in any State
in which they could be peddled.”
Walter Higgins, New York F. B. I.
agent, told of a conversation he had
with Mrs. Harriman about the pur
pose of a contract she signed for
George Perry, financial “angel” of
the lottery plan. “She said her un
derstanding of the contract was that
it would allow Perry to sell tickets
in New York and other States, pro
vided they were purchased in New
Mexico,” he said.
Wallace Asks 21 Changes
In Farm Program
By the Associated Press.
Secretary Wallace urged Congress
yesterday to make what he called
21 “minor modifications” in the farm
program in the interest of “effective
and economical administration.”
His proposed amendments, direct
ed chiefly at wheat, cotton and
tobacco phases of the program, did
not, he said, “call for any substan- !
tial change" because of his belief in
the program's basic soundness. His :
recommendations were made in a
letter to Speaker Bankhead.
Among general changes, he pro
posed amendments to which he said :
would:
Simplify the method of making
payments to deceased payees.
Require persons entitled to benefit
payments to apply personally there
for.
Clarify the definition of “market" |
to make the act applicable to the
marketing by producers of cotton,
wheat, rice or tobacco in processed
form, and to include gifts under
“marketing."
Provide penalties for buyers who
fail to pay the Government penalties
collected from producers.
Extend from one to two years
the time in which application may
be made for a refund of a penalty
erroneously collected.
Place upon the producer the
burden of proving, in cases of dis
pute, that he has not marketed a
commodity subject to penalty.
Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
Educational Opportunities
By the Associated Press.
CHATTANOOGA, Term., April 16.
—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt point
ed last night to Federal aid as the
only means of providing equal edu
cational opportunities for all chil
dren, but added “of course” control
of the funds should be left within
the State.
Speaking before the Southern
Conference for Human Welfare on
a panel devoted to “children in the
South,” the President's wife prefaced
her statement with an assertion
that equal opportunities now are
not being given.
“I know that the children in the
13 Southern States are going to
spread out and be the citizens of
many States,” Mrs. Roosevelt said.
“I think it is of interest to the whole
country what opportunity the chil
dren in these States have for health
and education.”
Education also was offered as a
safeguard for democracy. “We are
the only democracy,” she said, “that
does not live in fear and it behooves
us to see every child brought up to
know what they owe democracy.”

BERLIN. April 16.—The text of
today's German high command com
munique follows:
The English made no attempts to
land troops anywhere on April 15
in regions occupied by Germans.
Britons made an unsuccessful air
raid on Narvik in the forenoon of
April 15. Movements of strong
English naval forces, including
transport vessels, in waters off
Narvik and Harstad were confirmed.
The day passed quietly in the
Trondheim and Bergen regions.
Two Lockheed planes were shot
down in the course of several British '
air raids at Stavanger.
North of Kristiansand, at Evje
mon. 150 officers and 2.000 soldiers
of the 3d Norwegian Division put j
down their arms after a short at- i
tack by German troops.
Movements of the German troops
in the Oslo sector proceeded on
schedule. Pacification of Southeast
ern Norway is progressing. Thirty- j
six cannon were captured.
The navy expanded the protection
of the harbors of Trondheim. Bergen
and Stavanger and augmented the
coast guard service. The defense
against submarines was continued,
thus the possibilities for enemy U
boats to operate were further cur
tailed.
The air force continued recon
naissance over the North Sea and
the Norwegian coast as far as
Narvik. One British airplane which
flew into the German Bight, and
dropped bombs into the Weser
Estuary without success, was shot
down in an air fight northeast of

New Deal Defeatism
Charged by Dewey
At Indianapolis
National Economy
Has Gone Backward,
Candidate Asserts
By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 16.—
Thomas E. Dewey accused the New
Deal of “defeatism and bungling
bureaucracy” in a bid last night for
Indiana support of his Republican
presidential candidacy.
The 38-year-old New York district
attorney told a Republican rally in
Butler University’s big field house
that national economy has “gone
backward” under the Roosevelt ad
ministrations and that seven steps
are necessary to "bring business
enterprise to life in this country.”
The speech was broadcast over the
National Broadcasting Co.’s Blue
network.
While indications are that the
Indiana delegation to the party’s
national convention will not be in
structed, Dewey supporters hoped
his appearance here would help him
win favor among the delegates, who
will be selected at the State con
vention May 23 and 24.
Seven-Point Program.
“It is time to stop politics and go
back to work,” Mr. Dewey asserted
in offering his seven-point program.
(1) Stop Government policies
which discourage the job-making
business life of the Nation.
(2) “Stop bureaucratic interfer
ence with the management of hon
est business.”
(3) “Put experience, ability and
fair play in the Securities and Ex
change Commission and other reg
ulatory bodies.”
(4) Redesign the tax structure so
that It will no longer drive money
into the bombproof shelters of tax
exempt bonds ”
(5) “Improve the credit facilities
for small business.”
<6i “Put an end to Government
policies of defeatism, of ill-con
ceived experiments, of frantic im
provising in domestic and foreign
affairs."
(7) “Learn the difference between
stopping abuses and grabbing power.
Learn again that this country be
lieves in government by law and
1 not government by men.”
Lack of Integrity Charged.
Mr. Dewey told his audience that
“underlying causes of the failure of
i this country to recover from this
! New Deal Depression' fall into two
main groups—G> “the stubborn re
fusal of our national administration
to pursue sound economic policies”
and (2» “the demonstrated lack of

normal happiness and prosperity.”
