IS? President Roosevelt the
$4380,030,ooo work and relief bill
on which conferees from senate and
house reached complete agreement
Thursday night.
. Striking out the Thomas silver
inflation amendment and malting
other changes, the conference end
•d Its task after a wearying, all-day
session.
With sllverltes apparently aban
doning any idea of a filibuster,
leaders saw a possibility the bill
might be hurried to enactment
this week. Both houses must now
act on the bill as approved by con
ferees. •
Observers saw a possibility that
the bill—hugest appropriation meas
ure in American history—might be
taken to President Roosevelt by air
plane so he could sign It on the
yacht Nourmahal in southern wa
ters.
Though the amendment of Sena
tor Thomas (D-Okla) to have the
treasury issue silver against bullion
at a $139 an ounce value was strick
en out, members of the silver bloc
said they would not seek to delay
the measure Thomas declared he
would offer his plan later.
Observers watched to see what
Senator Long (D-La). who fought
the administration on the bill, would
do.
One change made In conference
would leave President Roosevelt
free to name Relief Administrator
Hopkins. Secretary Ickes. Under
secretary of Agriculture Tugwell or
others high in the administration to
posts In the new setup without sen
ate confirmation.

activities.
Five of the str.ipers signed the

would be released when they de
cided to purge themselves of con

NEA SUIT Correspondent
PLEMINOTON. N. J—The horde
of reporters, photographers, and
telegaph operators; the artists, crime
analysts, lady novelists and sob sis
ters, the wood experts, fingerprint
specialists, squads of troopers and
battalions of witnesses — all have
gone.
Old settlers of the 8ourland foot
hills have reclaimed the chairs In
the lobby of the Union Hotel. Citi
zens of the town have reclaimed
the guest bedrooms that were rent
ed to newspaper folk, The sheriff
and his constabulary are concern
ing themselves with the mystery of
a dastardly theft of 23 chickens.
The statue of a Union soldier now
peers up Main Street at a norma!,
somnolent scene.
But Flemington never will be
quite the same again. It has a new
set of local heroes, a fresh anthol
ogy of anecdotes, a large measure
of self-esteem. No longer a pin
prick on a large-scale map, Flem
ington now appears on the charts
of destiny — a bold X marking the
spot where World Enemy No. 1 and
a city-slicker lawyer pot their
uppance.

The verdict of Bruno Richard

too. have expressed resentment at
Defense Attorney Reilly s Introduc
tion of several witnesses who quick

ports are true that Attorney Gen

people for perjury.
Such trials would enliven Flem
ington strain, bringing back at
least a small part of the army-of -
many-occupations which spent
about $5,000 a day in Flemington
during the 32-day trial.
During a day’s visit here, this
correspondent found only three
names on the hotel’s register.
They’re all salesmen, the rear
guard of an army of apportunists
who already have combed the town,
seeking to trade Insurance policies,
high-priced cars, mechanical refri
gerators and oil stock for the citi
zens’ newly-acquired wealth.
Two waitresses now have little to
do in the hotel dining room where
40 employees used to serve 900 per

for a stray mongrel which became
enamored of the gentlemen of the
press, has been dismantled. “Poppy"

Flemington and inspect the court

Burt Pedrick, the hotel manager,
isn’t too busy for gossip, either.
Downright lonely, Burt is, with all
the newspaper boys gone. He sells,
as do several Main street stores,
souvenir pictures taken during the
Hauptmann trial, and books about
the case.

The sheriff said he heaved a

finally got a receipt for the safe
delivery of Hauptmann to the Tren

he had received scores of threaten

tempts to free the prisoner. Then
there was the possibility of sui

worries was the danger of fire in
the century-old tinder-box court

Under the somewhat unofficial
auspices of the local American Le

open to hundreds of tourists on
Sundays. Members of the post
police the building, answer sight
seers' questions, and call attention
to a contribution box in the court
room. Gratuities totaled $35 the
first pleasant Sunday afternoon.

(Sped*I to The Herald)
PORT ISABEL. March 29 —Own
ers and operators of fishing boats
here are putting them in shape
now for the beginning in about two
weeks of the summer fishing sea
son. which will start off with king
mackerel.
These big mackerel are reported
now' about ten or twelve miles out
in the Gulf, and gradually moving
in closer. Fishermen on a snap
per boat recently reported some
about 15 miles offshore.
Fishing for king mackerel is one
of the main sports in this section
during the summer, and many
Texas people are expected to comp
to the Valley when the kings move
in three or %>ur miles from shore,
and fishing starts in earnest.
30-HOUR WEEK
PLEA RENEWED
WASHINGTON. March 29. <*>—
William Green put tha American
Federation of Labor firmly behind
President Roosevelt's request for an
extension of NRA Friday, but he
also demanded a blanket 30-hour
work week law.
The testimony of the federation
president before the senate finance
committee refuted reports that la
bor had abandoned the 30-hour
week plan in order to get NRA ex
tended.
The heavy-set leader of organis
ed workers read a prepared state
ment contending that the recovery
program was "the only plan which
is available to us at this time for
the rehabilitation of our economic
system.’’
But he diverted from his prepared
testimony to say that to make the
recovery program "fully effective”
the Black bill must be passed put
