CHIEF EXECUTIVE HAS THE HIGH ANDGALLANT SPIRIT REQUIRED TO FIGHTTHE SELFISH POLITICIANS OF TODAY

BY ELMER J. VECSEYTo you thinking American citizens, groping for

solution of problems that have shaken this state and na-tion to its very foundation during this period of unpreced-ented distraction and political stress, destiny presentsGovernor Harold G. Hoffman fov vice-president of theUnited States.

New Jersey presents, today, a man who has sac-riiiced his political career in a desperate effort to giveback to the people of this state a once, lily-white pure"Jersey Justice." Opposing newspapers, on the shortend of political patronage, have hacked this person un-fairly in editorials reeking with unethical journalism.

Mad editors, toil-worn from grappling for appoint-ments which did not come, labored late into the nightat battered typewriters. They have turned out manysheets of copy for the linotype machines. They havebuilt up a certain number of patronage-seekers andpublicity-mongrels to come to the front with a few linesfrom ''our readers." Just an old gag. Yet, sometimeseffective.

Governor Hoffman's courage is the type of Ameri-can couiage we need. Not the type that will fold up atthe least bit of political pressure for selfish gains.

Hoffman answers all the requirements needed tobecome an executive of these United States of Ameri-ca. He knows industry and business. Theorists, with ex-perimenters risking the essentials of Americanism in un-chartered gropings, are a failure.

Hoffman has vigor and energy and I'esourcefulness.He has unpairalleled magnetism. As a young soldier, hewon his captaincy o.n the field of battle in the WorldWar, and in 1934 was promoted to the captaincy of agreat State, in the fight against the depression.

His sales-tax, for the purpose of financing reliefin New Jersey, was repealed soon after its passage bythe Senate and Assembly. Political jealousy can becharged with the killing of the only sensible means ofcaiing for our great army of needy people. And, thoseresponsible for its repeal have yet to suggest somethingbetter—or as good—to take its place. They probablydon't care whether or not the poor and unemployedstarve. They're that type.

Governor Hoffman is a fighter for the people—notfor his own greed.

This writer, therefore, presents him for the office ofvice-president of the United States. He will be the firstsoldier of the great war to be a candidate for the post.He will have the united support of four million, his latecompanions in arms, who will battle for him as theirNew Jersey members battled for him in the Governor-ship fight.

He will h.ave the appeal, which Grant and Taylorhad when they were candidates, for all Americans ad-mire and follow a high and gallant spirit leading themin the great adventure of life. Hoffman is of such calibre.

Governor Hoffman will help lead this great nation—"the republic that never retreats"—out of the depths ofthe depression by practical, common sense, utilization ofits marvelous resources and institutions and characterand manhood.

He will instinctively shun the unpracticed, the in-experienced theorist and reformer. In short, he willhelp make America safe.

Thinking American citizens, get behind GovernorHoffman—the man who challenged political leechesand newspapers in his fight to give this state the "JerseyJustice" it once boasted of.

Governor Harold G. Hoffman has been accused (by opposingnewspapers and politicians) of seeking personal publicity in takingsuch action in the Hauptmann case as it is said that he had taken.This writer (in line with thousands of people) does not think that anyreasonable person can believe that Governor Hoffman went out ofhis way to invite criticism of which he has been made the target, orthat he expected to benefit from it.

On the contrary, the Governor is deserving of great commendationfor his defiant stand to restore to this commonwealth what was once"Jersey Justice."

One has been reading, daily, editorials on "Jersey Justice." Thesenewspapers (looking out for their own interests and personal gains)would lead one to believe that our "Jersey Justice" is lily-white pureBut, is it?

Can anyone account for just a few cases, especially ones this im-mediate area knows complete details of? A woman in Hopelawn shotand killed her husband not long ago. At first, she denied any part ofthe cold-blooded murder. Later she confessed. She was given a coupleof years to serve in New Jersey's State prison.

Only recently, a man openly admitted the fatal shooting of hisformer sweetheart in a Fords beer garden. He was a former policecaptain. He was "severely" punished. He received a state prison termof a couple of years.

Late last year, a Port Reading man is alleged to have shot todeath an innocent man in a quarrel at Port Reading. That man, todayis free.

Then there's the Metelski case. He has been found guilty of mur-dering a state trooper at Avenel. He has been sentenced to burn inthe electric chair. This verdict came in the face of only circumstantial•vidence. It was known that another man was in the car with Metei-ski when the shooting took place. The other man, a noted gunmancommitted suicide when he learned police where after him Still theshooting was charged to Metelski and he must burn for it.

And, what about the Carpis case in Union County? Here a Sher-(Continued on page two)

iff fatally wounded a woman and when the jury returned with theverdict, the sheriff was freed and the woman's husband found guiltylor obstructing the law.

Then, there are others, too numerous to mention. For instance theHall-Mills case.

"Jersey Justice!" It's a Zaugh.Let's be reasonable for a moment. Let's forget politics arid ra-

cial feeling. Let's study the Hauptmann case (from the. defense side,which was, incidently, forgotten by the Hunterdon county jury) inorder that you may realize why Governor Hoffman should be praisedrather than accused.

The crime, the most baffling of the century, as presented here byRobert J. McLaughltn, was committed at Hopewell on March 1, 1932.The entire burden of guilt was placed upon the shoulders of one man,a German carpenter, named Bruno Richard Hauptmann. He had, how-ever, an alibi, as he had also been accused of stealing a dog, in theBronx, on the evening of March 1, 1932. The animal belonged to one ofhis friends and he had been exercising him. The man who had accusedHauptmann of taking his dog testified for him at the trial at Flem-Ington.

Hauptmann also had a fur business, and the fur cutter, IsidorFisch, was his partner. This man was consumptive, and went toack tohis home in Germany, leaving a box of "valuable papers" with Haupt-mann, who later discovered that the box was full of money.

Fisch died in Germany and Hauptmann began to spend the money,claiming that his Jewish partner had owed him $7,500 at the time ofhis death. He concealed the money in his garage. It is unlikely thatFisch owed Hauptmann anything.

After his arrest, the police made inquiries about Fisch and theylearned that he had applied for a passport to Germany on May 12,1932, 28 months before the arrest of Hauptmann. This was the day onwhich the body of the Lindbergh foaby was found beside the MountRose-Hopewell road, five miles from the Lindbergh house, at 3:15o'clock in the afternoon.

The extraordinary thing about this crime was the efficiency andorganization of the kidnappers. After the discovery of the body, Fischmay have had two hours in which to secure his passport, as the pass-port office probably closed by six o'clock in the evening.

He was evidently alarmed by the news, as he did not actually re-turn to Germany until November, 1933, and he didn't need a passporton May 12, 1932. The news precipitated his plans and he rushed to thepassport office before the reporters had received word that the child'sbody had been found.

Col. Schwarzkopf, in charge of the state police, summoned thereporters to the Lindbergh home and read a statement to them. Assoon as he reached the word "body" there was a rush for the doors,as some of the reporters tried to break through and reach telephones.

"No! No!'' Col. Scharzkopf shouted, "Not a man is to leave thisroom until I have finished reading my statement."

The reporters had been summoned from Trenton and Hopewell,and considerable time had been consumed in identifying the body,but Fisch had had ,no trouble in getting the news. When the reportersflashed the word on May 12, 1932, that the body of the Lindberghbaby had been found, the passport office had been closed for the day.

As soon as the body%as discovered, a messenger went to theLindbergh house and told Betty Gow, the nurse, the startling news.She gave him one of the baby's shirts to aid in the indentification.

When the servants at the Lindbergh house learned that thechild's body had been discovered, they probably telephoned the newsto the Morrow home at Englewood, where there were no less than 29servants, and from the Morrow house a warning was probably sent tothe kidnappers, and Fisch started running for the passport office.

This explanation of how Fisch got the news that the baby's food}had been found, indicates that Hauptmann told the truth when he de-clared, "It ain't me. I got the mony from Fisch."

On the evening of March 1, 1932, a telephone call came fromEnglewood to the Lindbergh house. "Red" 'Johnson was calling thenurse. Betty Gow. He had been a sailor on the yacht of Thomas W.Lamont, a partner of J. Pierpont Morgan. "Red" was a friend ofBetty, and frequently called to see her and the other servants at thesumptuous Morrow mansion in Englewood, where the Lindberghbaby lived, when his parents were not at Hopewell. He called at 8:47P. M.

"Red" Johnson talked about the baby and Betty told him that thechild was sick, and as she was downstairs at the telephone, "Red"could have inferred that the baby was in his crib and unguarded atthat precise time. This was essential informtion for the kidnappers asthe house was lighted and, for them to succeed, it was absolutely ne-cessary that the child should be unguarded when they entered hisroom.

It is probable that before Betty Gow hung up the telephone, thekidnappers had taken the child from his crib.

When the police arrived, they learned of this telephone conver-sation and instituted a search at Englewood for "Red" Johnson, butthey could not find him. They then asked Betty where he might be,and she said she didn't know, tout she told them that he had a brothernamed John, who lived in West Hartford, Connecticut.

This led to inquiries at West Hartford, and on the night of March4th the police of that city called at he house of John Johnson andfound "Red" Johnson in bed. They took him to the police station andasked him how he had reached ,his brother's house in West Hartford.The answer was: "driving my green Chrysler coupe, license numberN Y - 3U9680."

The coupe was found at the John Johnson house, and there wasa,n empty milk bottle in the car. "Red" said he liked milk. He wasevidently a milk snake.

While the police were questioning him, post office employees in-tercepted a special delivery letter addressed to Mrs. Lindbergh and apost card addressed to the Colonel, both mailed in the Connecticutcity, and both written in pencil. The message on the post card read:"Baby still safe. Get things quiet."

This card from West Hartford led one to believe that 'Red' Johnsonwas connected with the kidnapping. Despite this fact, he was re-leased from custody on March 20, 1932 and deported to Norway.

James L. Dalton, the toll collector at the Outerbridge Crossing,which links Perth Amboy, New Jersey to Tottenville on Staten Island,stopped a green automobile at the toll bridge at 10:45 P. M. one hourand forty-five minutes after the child was kidnapped, on the nightof March 1, 1932. In the car were two men, a woman and a baby, abouta year and half old.

Dalton said the first letters and digits of the automobile licensenumbers were N Y - 3CT and the last three numbers were 680. Thiscorresponded to the automobile license number of "Red" Johnson'sgreen coupe, which was NY - 3U9680.

The most significant evidence favorable to Hauptmann was thevast amount of correspondence which- the kidnappers furnished thepolice in Hauptmann's handwriting. The newspapers published theexhibits showing the similarity between the ransom notes and thehandwriting of Hauptmann. It was evident to the public that theransom notes were written by him without any disguise.

This was absolutely unique. It had never happened before, a;blackmailers are fearful of handwriting and disguise their notes.

Why had Hauptmann left so many traces behind him, traces asdefinite as finger prints? He knew that his handwriting could betraced, and the police brought his automobile registration into court.and put it in evidence. Why had he left his handwriting and not his!fingerprints? It would have been perfectly absurd for the kidnapperto conceal his footprints by wrapping rags around his feet, and thenleave his undisguised handwriting in the baby's nursery. But he didthat very thing.

To find the answer to this puzzle we must look abroad to Ger-many, to the persecution of the Jews. Isidor Fisch doubtless had aracial motive for pointing suspicion at Hauptmann. In leaving him theranson money, he had plainly set a Shylock trap for his partner, buthe had a cleverer way of strengthening that trap. In some manner hesecured specimens of Hauptmann's handwriting and he probablyforged the ransom notes and imitated the carpenter's handwriting.

Dr. Condon attracted the attention of the kidnappers by appealingto them through the columns of the Bronx Home News. He was amember of the Faculty of Fordham University and suggested that thekidnapper should confess to a Catholic priest. He offered $1,000 re-ward to the kidnappers for the return of the child.

He then received two letters by mail, one for himself and theother for Colonel Lindbergh. Then followed a steady stream of letterswhich were delivered by taxi-cab drivers, were placed under rocksand passed over grave-yard walls. More than twenty letters and postcards were written by the kidnappers and their deliberate intention tomake it a handwriting case was show,n by all this writing.

The mysterious John finally met Dr. Condon by night at WoodlawnCemetery. He seemed to rise out of one of the graves and floated tothe top of a high iron gate. From this lofty perch he surveyed thescene and then like a flash he was on the ground and standing besidethe frightened doctor. He played upon the superstitious fears of thepolice and even Colonel Lindbergh hesitated to go near him. At. St.Raymond's Cemetery where the ransom was paid there wasn't a po-liceman with a mile of the scene. Again he was seen emerging fromthe graves and he spoke with a Swedish accent.

Although he was about Hauptmann's height, he had a consump-tive cough and was much lighter than the German carpenter. Dr. Con-dan had been a trainer of atheletes for many years and was an expert inestimating a man's height and weight. He stated that Cemetery Johnwas thirty pounds lighter han Haupmann.

In exchange for the $50,000 rnsom, Cemetery John wished to givenothing. He had no note, he said. Dr. Condon said that he was a manof business and required the note, telling where the baby was, andthen the "vampire" gave him the note which told that the baby wason a boat near Elizabeth Island. His reluctance to give this note wasanother example of his cunning. He wished to emphasize its import-ance and keep up the hoax long enough to insure his own escape fromthe scene.

Then followed a period of two and a half years during which timea futile attempt to trace the ransom money was made. Finally Haupt-mann was arrested on September 18, 1934 and Dr. Condon came toihe police station to identify him as the ransom man.

He stated that there was some resemblance but he couldn't swearto it. The police were bitterly disappointed and the newspapers beganthrowing out hints that Dr. Condon was the real kidnapper. His pic-ture in movie theatres was greeted with hisses, and he was trailedaround through Iassachusetts by four automobiles filled with re-porters.

When questioned, he replied; "I fear no man and no court becauseI have done no wrong." The fact was that he was considerably alarm-ed on his own account.

Then he began to think that if he made another effort he mightidentify Hauptmann. He went to Flemington and looked a him again."Yes," he decided, "he is the man."

Perrone, the taxi-driver, had a strong personal motive in identi-fying Hauptmann. He had delivered one of the ransom notes at Dr.Condon's house, and five men sprang out of the house after him. Hedeparted rapidly in his taxi-cab while his pursuers took down the li-cense number of his car. He was scared to death and feared that hewould get the hot seat himself. For this reason he was absolutely posi-tive of Hauptmann, although the note had been handed to him twen-ty-nine months before he identified Hauptmann. He had seen a shad-owy figure on a dark night running after his car. He was almost par-alyzed with fright as a long arm came crawling into his car andthrust a letter and dollar bill into his trembling hand. Deliver to Dr.Condon," said a spulchral voice and the shadowy figure vanished inthe darkness.

Hauptmann was only fourteen years old when the World Warbroke out and he was fighting in the German trenches at seventeen.When the armistice was signed he was a mere lad roaming around thecountry without food or clothing and like many of his comrades heforaged on the country. He was unlucky enough to get caught and wassent to prison, but they knew that he had been wounded and gassedin the trenches fighting for the German Fatherland, and they didn'tlock him up too tightly, and so he escaped and came to America.

He was a carpenter by trade, and it is impossible to make a goodcarpenter out of a vicious character. The work is too hard. It requiresa certain moral stamina to drive a hammer and saw for eight hoursa day.

During prosperous times, he had made as much as sixty dollars aweek and had married a hard working German girl who earned thirtythree dollars a week. They were thrifty people and it was only naturalfor them to save. They owned two small mortgages and investedmoney in Wall street. If this had been ransom money, the numbersof the bills would have been picked up at once. It was honest moneyand it was not until Fisch had left him the box containing less thanone-third of the Lindbergh rarisom money that he was caught passinga ten dollar gold certificate of the ransom (bills.

Hauptmann was sober, industrious and a good husband and falherThere was nothing cowardly sneak about him. He was a blunt Germansoldier and too much of a man to break under police brutality and thethird degree. He showed his stamina in the witness chair.

On the day of his arrest he had driven his automobile to the Warn-er Quinlan filling station at 2115 Lexington avenue, and stopped be-fore one of the pumps. When he had received five gallons of ethyl hehanded the man a ten dollar gold note.

"You don't see many of these any more," the attendant remark-ed. No,' said Hauptmann, " I guess you don't. I've only got a few ofthem myself—about a hundred."

If the money was hot, it didn't burn his fingers and he was bbast-ful of his property.

The gas station attendant took down the number of his car andas soon as he found that the note was a Lindbergh bill, he caused hisarrest.

Violet Sharpe was one of the twenty-nine servants employed atthe Morrow house. She died of poison just as she was about to breakunder the questioning of the police. A few of the servants made trips toHopewell, and swam in the river, which was about a mile from thehouse. They all knew the location of the baby's nursery. Outsideisdidn't know this fact, and the kidnappers could not have gone directlyto the 'baby's crib at night time unless they had accomplices amongthe twenty-nine servants.

There can be no doubt that Hauptmann should have been sparedfrom the electric chair. Governor Hoffman felt, as thousands of othersstill feel, that there is ground for doubts in the case. There are contra-dictions, impossibihtes and inconsistencies in the evidence upon whichhe was convicted.

"I have done what I believed to be right," says the Governorand I have no regrets, except that the complete truth about thi«

crime has not yet been discovered.He further states, "I will continue to act as I have acted and I

will have no regrets in the future. The only thing I could do that wouldmake me ashamed of myself would be to quit the Job before it iscompleted."*,. .A m a n ° f t h i s c a l i b r e ' w h o has stacked his political career againstthe Jersey Justice" which h a s long ago been dragged into the mire de-serves the backing of every thinking citizen of New Jersey

LIQUIDATING COMPANYWILL AID HOME OWNERSAYS REPRESENTATIVE

WOODBRIDGE.--Every eiloriwill 'be made to aid the home own-er during the process of the liqui-dation of tax liens, declared OscarSchirstead, member of the Tax Ti-tle Liquidating Company, in ex-plaining the aims of the concerntit a meeting of the Township Committee, Monday night.

Schirstead's explanation camewhen Committeeman John Bergen,of the first ward, deplored the ef-fect o,n the home owner.

"Most of the home owners," hesaid "are up to their necks in debtthrough no fault of their own andsome provisions ought to be madeto give them every chance human-ly possible."

Schirstead, asking permission tospeak, declared:

"To clear up that question, theTax Title Liquidating Companyallows home owners to pay o,n atime basis: We have yet to fore-close on a home, that is a matterof record. Whenever there is equi-ty we help .The only time we fore-close a lien is when the ownerdoes .not want the property andthe sooner it is taken off the as-sessment rolls the better as youare paying the state and countytaxes and that is what is keepingyour tax rate high. You eventual-ly will have to clear them out."

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1936

Support the StadiumResidents of Fords, Keasbey and Hope-

lawn would do well if they would forgettheir sectional battle with the rest of Woodbridge Township long enough to lend ahelping hand to the Woodbridge TownshipStadium Commission in its task of raisingmoney to establish an athletic field.

The Commission, made up of high-stand-ing citiz&ns of the township, has been de-voting considerable time and effort to putacross a drive for funds, but sectional feel-ing has entered the splendid work of thesponsors.

It is admitted that an enclosed athleticfield is of vital importance to our township,Not only to our township, but to you, yourchildren and your children's children. Theirhealth and physical development shouldmean more to you than sectional pride.

We know the people of this area wantthe stadium erected in the Fords Park—which, indeed, is a good site for it. But, thepeople of Avenel would like to have it in theAvenel Park—another good location. Thenwe have the people of Woodbridge—theywant it in Woodbridge.

Now, we know it is impossible to havethe stadium in all three places. The build-ers are unable to place wheels under it inorder that it may be rolled from one sectionto another as the games are played. But, wedo know that the central location is inWoodbridge. And, really and honestly,that is the only place for it to please all.

When the people of the United States de-clared their independence from Englandmany, many years ago, they were facedwith an identical proposition. The variousstates all wanted the capital. But when thesite was finally decided upon, the quarrel•was forgotten, and all went along with thesite selected.

That holds true to form here—to a cer-tain extent. The site was selected in Wood-bridge. Considerable work has been doneto place the ground in shape. It is suitableto Woodbridge, Avenel, Iselin, Colonia,Port Reading and Sewaren. Why can'tFords, Keasbey and Hopelawn go alongwith the rest ?

The sole purpose of the stadium is totake care of the students and athletic teamsof the high school. And your children at-tend that high school. They will benefit byit. It will be a decade before this sectiongets a high school of its own. So why notforget sectional feeling until such time.

A final drive for funds has been launch-ed by the Commission last week. Get be-hind the sponsors. Participate in whateverfunction is planned to raise the $10,000thai is needed to make the stadium a real-ity.

Collegians Start SomethingStarting around a table, where young

college men discussed the passage of thelast soldier-bonus bill, and organized in aspirit of fan, the Veterans of Future Warsspread spontaneously to hundreds of cam-puses and the newspapers of the nationprinted the news of their travesty on theb&nus hunters amid the amused laughs ofmillions.

Briefly, the future veterans want theirbonus now, while they can enjoy it, beforebeing killed. They have a national com-mander and a salute for the new order—right arm held out, palm up. Denouncedderided for their stunt, the college boyswere amazed to find that the idea had sup-port and, unless present signs fail, the or-ganization will continue. Already, its offi-cers have offered to submit all papers, tel-egrams, etc., to the Lobby committee for

; investigation, being a patriotic organiza-tion with nothing to conceal!

We are for the boys—their action indi-cates, at least, an interest in life's realitiesand may have consequences which no onecan foresee.

Preventing Highway DeathsThe automobile death toll for January

and February is given as 4,580 by the Na-tional Safety Council, which inaugurated acampaign this year to cut the number ofmotor accidents. In 1935, says the Council,was 4,710, which means an improvement ofthree per cent for this year.

The fact that more than seventy-five per-sons are killed every day, in the United

States in motor vehicle accidents is enoughto emphasize the necessary of concerted ac-tion by officials everywhere to stop thisslaughter.

Here is an opportunity for an individualcommunity to do something for itself with-out waiting on the State government or theFederal government. Records prove ratherconclusively that where traffic regulationsare enforced and motorists promptly pun-ished for infractions, the death rate goesdown. In Woodbridge Township, for ex-ample, rigorous prosecution, which hasbeen promised, of those who wilfully vio-late traffic rules will lessen our contribu-tion to the national dead from motor vehi-cle accidents, and, what is more important,save some family here the expense andgrief that goes with these casualties.

Co-operation, Not CompetitionWe hasten to salute the city of Boston,

in the State of Massachusetts, where an ef-fort is being made to root out the spirit ofcompetition and to supplant it with thepraised but seldom practiced virtue of co-operation.

Four large organizations, intereste-d inyouth, are trying the scheme, which elimin-ates prizes of any kind in any contests,from games of sport to contests of the in-telect. Boy Scouts, for example ,are dis-couraged from wealing or displaying bad-ges won in competitions and the Bostonpublic school system recently rejected anoffer of $10,000 to establish prizes forsomething or other. This policy, we under-stand ,has been effective in the schools foryears.

Competition involves victory ond defeat,acclaim to a winner and regrets to a loser,who, in many cases, has accomplished asmuch as the triumphant rival. Cooperationinvites boys and girls to strive for a goalthat can be shared.

One of these days you won't have timeto do the things that you plan to do one ofthese days.

This is the time of the year when seedcatalogues lure a man to the garden plot.

* * * * *Advertising is the art of making people

THROWING the1 SPOTLIGHT

White SpiritualsThe hymns sung by Oliver Cromwell's

ironsides on their way to battle, by JohnCalvin's Dissenters in their Highland hid-ing places and by the Hugenot followers ofde la Motte in the French prisons are stillsung by their descendants in Alabama andneighboring states.

"There is a land of pure delight.Where saints immortal reign;Infinite day excludes the night.And pleasures banish pain, and pleasure

banish pain."

They were carried to Virginia in the pris-on ships by Scotch and English refugeesafter the restoration of Charles II; whilethe Hugenots, in flight from France, car-ried them to North Carolina.

As these pioneers forged their way intothe mountainous regions of the new world,their songs sustained them among naturalhardships.

Centuries passed and in the isolatedregions, especially those of Alabama, thesongs lived on. without competition, hand-ed down like heirlooms from father to son.Today, the hymns are the same as theywere 300 years ago.

Supervised musical training among themountaineers did not begin until about 1360,when M. L. Swan, an itenerant music master,settled in Jackson County, Tennessee. He issaid to have used a seven-sharp "Harp of Col-umbia" in setting the pitch for his choristers.From this novel instrument, the singers inJasper derived their designation as "GreekHarp Singers." This organization gave its firstpublic concert in 1873. In 1909, a state-wideorganization of "white spiritual" singers wasformed under the name of the Alabama StateSacred Harp Musical Association. It has now110 community groups under its wing. EveryJuly, the groups send delegates to take part inthe three day "sing" at Birminghm.

The Association not only keeps alive theancient hymns, but also the traditions ofthe music classes of other days. Seatedabout a large table, the singers are direct-ed by a concert master who uses a pitchpipe to strike the lead notes. They first in-tone their "so-la-fa's" and then join insinging the words. The writer who lookedup the activities of the Association in pre-paring articles on Alabama for the Ameri-can Guide—the Government's forthcoming5-volume travel handbook—learned thatonly the old hymns handed down by the f ollowers of Cromwell, Calvin and de laMotteare used in conceit programs. The reasonthat these are called "White Spirituals" isto distinguish them from the far more widely known colored spirituals.

Some of the "White Spirituals" are widely known by old American families, thoughnot under that classification.

ADVENTURERS'CLUB

t A "Riddle of the Sky"f- f1 By FLOYD GIBBONS

Famous Headline Hunter.

TTERE'S one of those mysteries that will never be solved.•"- A What happened to Joe? You'll never know, and neitherwill I. Neither will Bill Beck of Medford, who sent in the storyand who was one of the principal actors in that puzzling tragedyof the air. For Joe is dead. He died at the Whidden Memorialhospital, in Everett, a few hours after the crash. And he carriedwith him to the grave the reason for his strange actions up therein the plane, a couple thousand feet above the earth.

Joe Isn't his real name, incidentally. His old pal, Bill Beck, prefersthat I leave that out of the story.

Some of you fellowa who know more about airplanes than Ido might make a shrewd guess at why Joe did what he did.You'll never know whether you guessed right or not, but anywayIt will ba fun guessing. So I'll give you the whole story, Just asBill Beck gave It to me—and see what you can make of It.On September 2, 1932, around 6:30 In the evening, Bill Beck was

flying his Waco "10" plane around Muller field nt Kevere. While flying,he was forced to land because his engine had quit. It was loaded opfrom Idling too long in a shallow glide. That was all.

Pal Jumps In as Plane Takes OffMaybe a lot of this dope I'm giving you Is Irrelevant to the story.

But I'm shoveling it In on the odd chance that It might be of some helpin figuring out the mystery.

Bill landed his plane and fixed up the trouble. He was Just: about to take off again when his friend, Joe, also a pilot, drove. up to the field in a car, ran to the plane and jumped into the' front cockpit. Bill took off again and began circling the field.

The plane Bill was flying had been used for student instructions ashort time before and, instead of removing the dual controls, Bill hadtaken out the front cushions so they would not fall out of place and jamthe front controls. Joe, up front, was sitting right on the hard bottom ofthe cushlonless seat, and in that position Bill could see nothing but thetop of his head, just visible above the cowling. That's all he could seeduring the whole trip.

Objects to Bringing Plane Down.Maybe If he'd had a chance to get a look at Joe's face—catch an ex-

pression or two—he might have set us a little closer to the solution ofthis strange tale. o

* After he had circled the field a couple of times he started to jland again. As he did so, Joe seized the front controls and shook jthem—a signal that he didn't want to go down. But Bill shoutedback that he had an appointment and couldn't stay up any :longer. He told Joe to wait until he landed—then he could takethe ship up alone.Joe nodded at that. Bill, seeing he was going to overshoot the field,

gave It the gun and circled again. He got into position and cut the gunagain, preparatory to landing. Then, suddenly, the controls began vi-brating violently. Joe, op front, was shaking the stick again.

Friend Takes Over Ship's Controls.This time Bill didn't know what to make of It. He thought maybe

Joe wanted to land the orate himself, so he let him take over the con-trols. Joe did. He stuck the ship's nose straight down, gave It the gunand headed for the field in a power dive. Then he pulled up In a zoom.

Maybe I'd better give you the rest of this in Bill's own lingo,Just to make sure you get it straight. Says Bill:"I watched the altimeter climb to 800 feet and I could see the revs

on the tacometer falling off and hear the engine labor. But still he heldthe nose way above the horizon.

Ship Falls Off Into Spin."Then, before I could prevent If, he tried to make a right turn. In

a high-powered plane it would have been all right, but in a 100 horse-power job it was fatal, and he must have known it.

"The ship seemed to slip away from under me and fell offinto a Epin. I tried to push the stick ahead, but his grip wastoo strong. Then he seemed to change his mind, but by that timeIt was too late. We were within fifty or sixty feet of the ground."I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want to burn up, so I

switched the engine off. I looked over the side, and the eurtli was whirl-ing UP to meet us. I tried to get a cushion to put in front of my face,but I couldn't. The last thing I remember was the instrument panelcoming toward me. Then everything went black."

Questions Will Never Be Answered.Bill came to a few hours later at tho hospital, after the doctors had

said he would never recain cousciousness. All he had lust were threeteeth. But Joe lost his life, and I wonder why. Thiri .v;irn of Hill Beck'sputs a lot of unanswered quostions in tny mind. Why didn't lie want togo down In the first place? That 's the question. Why didn't lie want tolet Bill out and then do his-tlyinfi? That 's another. But tlie bin ques-tion is, why did he try tu.it crazy, impossible slum— une that lie* surelymust have l;nnwn would ei d up in disaster?

_.Joe had something on his mind, up there in old Waco. Iwonder what it was?

SURPLUSES

Electrical Union NewsOverflowing the confines of the

State, the campaign for lower electrie rates launched by the NewJersey State Electrical WorkersAssociation was given support to-day of the National Popular Gov-ernment League, Washington, D.C, a national organization of vot-ers interested in power develop-ment.

In a communication to S. J.Cristiano, secretary. Special Com-mittee of New Jersey State Elec-trical Workers Association, on

"The campaign being conductedby the New Jersey State Electric-al Workers Association for lowerrates is one of the most cheeringand significant pieces of news thathas come my way in many longyears. You are on the right line.

"Permit me to congratulate youupon smashing an ancient preced-ent. Workers, since the time thepyramids were built have beensupposed to take orders from the

the business mhand and keep still. In my opinionyou are showing yourselves better

bosses.Utility executives, at least duringmy quarter of century in the field,have held to the curious notionthat rates made no difference withthe amount of electricity thepeople can and will consume.

Utility Legislation, Judson King businessmen thanDirector, N. P. G. L. commendedthe electrical workers on theircampaign and offered full co-op-eration. Mr. King stamped thepresent policy of high rates fol-lowed by utility executives as a"curious .notion." Under a policyof low rates, Mr. King declares"everybody gains and nobody los-es; companies can still make a fairprofit and be of tremendous socialservice."

In the meantime, the campaignof the electrical workers in gain-ing wide support in New Jersey,not only from labor organizations,but from civic and businessgroups. A typical letter of supportis that of Herman O. Luderer, sec-retary of North Stelton Citizens'League, Inc., (non-partisan) Stel-ton. "We are entirely in sympathywith the union's efforts to reducerates. How can we aid your move-ment?" asks the League.

Inquiries have been receivedfrom the Dover and PlainfieldChambers of Commerce.

The rate reduction principleurged by the electrical workers,according to R. A. Jahn, Trenton,Chairman of the Committee, Iswidely recognized in financialcircles. "It is an established prin-ciple," he declared. "The NewYork Journal of Commerce in arecent editorial pointed out thatair-conditioning installations werebeing held up by high electricrates."

The letter from Director Kingto Mr. Cristiano said:

It would seem that the onlything farmers in the flood areawould have much success in rais-ing this year would be navybeans.

Manifestly, your electrical associ-ation recognizes the establishedfact that the lower the rate, thehigher the use. You not only seethat by utilizing the generatingand distributing equipment all thetime the companies can still makea fair profit and be of tremendoussocial service.

"This for the reason that morecurrent used means more appli-ances and that means more elec-trical workers to manufacture andinstall these appliances and keepthem in repair, result: everybodygains and nobody loses.

"My old friend, J. D. Ross, Sup-erintendent of City Light in Seat-tle, Washington .from 30 years'experience and observation hasdecided on what he calls a 'con-stant,1 that is that Mary Janes, theaverage typical housewife, canspend only so much money on electricity, sane factor in her familybudget. It is all she can spend. IIshe gets more kilowatt hours forher current, that means more ap-pliances and work, as we havesaid.

"Full use of electricity in thehome means more comfort, betterhealth, more happiness and rais-ing of the standard life. And in-cidently, when the masses of thepeople begin to feel the benefits oflow rates, it is going to increasethe popularity of the ElectricalWorkers Union.

"I wish you well and if I can beof any service to you, let maknow."

screen himself, but his geniusfloods it from front to back to pro-vide rhythm for the miraculousfeet of Astaire and Rogers and in-fectious lyrics for their voices.

The nimble Astaire and his lithetitian-haired partner, have scoredthree record smashing hits withinthe short period of a year. Theycome to the public with quitenew and bewildering display in"Follow the Fleet."

Astaire sings and dances to "WeSaw the Sea" and "I'd Rather Leada Band." With Miss Rogers hesings and dances to "All My Eggsin One Basket" and "Let's Facethe Music and Dance." Miss Rog-ers has a solo song and dance, 'LetYourself Go,' which is reprisedwith Fred as a dance contest.

Randolph Scott, who first crash-ed the big time with the dancingstars in that musical fan tasy ofParis, "Roberta," reaches for newlaurels in this show. He neithersings nor dances but delivers red-blooded romantic appeal.

Ail Astaire-Rogers pictures haveone or more personality surprisesto pop. "Gay Divorcee" was load-ed with them . . . . Astaire, ErikRhodes, Eric Blore. "Roberta" hadScott. "Top Hat" gave Helen Broderick to the screen, and now comes"Follow the Fleet" with HarrietHilliard, considered by Hollywoodthe most important find of theyear.

RAHWAY THEATEE> Rahway.With Richard Arlen heading no-

table cast, comedy, drama and ro-mance are romping cross the screenof the Rahway Theatre this week.The picture is "Three Live Ghosts'"which opened yesterday.

In many respects this photoplayis guaranteed entertainment. Or-iginally a best-selling novel and ahit play by Frederick S. Isham, itestablished new high records ev-erywhere. Now it comes to thescreen with a freshness and asparkle that makes it supberb en-tertainment.

An almost forgotten island hellon the coast of America becomesthe center of action ior the searing,enthralling drama of "The Prison-er of Shark Island," 20 th Centurypicture now at the Rahway Thea-tre.

Plucked from the pages of his-tory, the new picture tells the au-tentic story of a man martyred fora deed of mercy, torn from thearms of the woman he loved to aliving death on an island wherebrutes are masters.

History flavors both the actionand the setting of Richard Dix'snew starrer, "Yellow Dust."

As the prime proof, the stagecoach hold-up which Moroni OlsenTed Oliver and Ethan Laidlaw conduct for the story's opening thrillhighlight, was filmed within pis-tol shot of the very place in theKern river valley where the fa-mous California desperado, Joa-quin Murietta, once similarly heldup the San Francisco-Los Angelesstage.

History is further reflected inthe gun duels, claim jumpinghangings and gambling that madethe era depicted one of the mostvivid and dangerous in the world'shistory.

LIBERTY THEATRE, Elizabeth.Boris Karloff is a jack of all

trades and a master of one. Hemakes a comfortable living scar-ing theatre audiences. His hobbiesinclude burying radish seeds andpiloting a ten-ton truck throughheavy traffic without using thebrakes.

T.he famous star of mystery dra-mas, currently playing in "TheWalking Dead," the Warner Bros.,picture which comes to the Liber-ty Theatre, was one of the verybest truck drivers Los Angeles ev-er produced until the day Direc-tor Michael Curtiz made it knownhe could use a Russian in the JohnBarrymore film, "The Mad Geni-us."

T,he very English Karloff, an al-umnus o£ Merchant Taylor'sSchool, Uppingham and King'sCollege, became a movie actor be-cause someone thought he was aRussian, and Los Angeles lost agood truck driver.

A luxury liner on the boundingmain is the scene, and its cargo ofpassengers and crew are the act-

ors in the delightful comedy-dra-ma, "Here Comes Trouble," whichcomes to the Liberty Theatre withPaul KeUy and Arline Judge head-ing its cast of Fox stars.

Anything can, and does happen,out beyond the twelve mile limiton this liner that has bunglingburglars in the passenger list andcavorting roughnecks in the crew.

EMPIRE THEATRE, Rahway.Now playing at the NQW Empire

Theatre, Rahway, is Eric Von Stroheim in Edgar Allen Poe's thrillingmystery novel "The Crime of Dr.Crispi" and Marion Nixon, ChickChandler, in "Tango."

The screen career of Lew Ayreshas been distinguished by manynoteworthy pertormancQs, but hiswork in "The Leathernecks HaveLanded," which opens a 3 day en-gagement at the New Empire Tiieatre, Rahway, on Sunday.

Of course, the new productiongives him a meaty role—that of ahard-bolied marine with a pen-chant for free-for-all fights andfeminine companionship of thelighter variety, but Ayres must begiven credit for his outstanding in-terpretation of the part.

, Opposite Ayres, in a part whichmust win her new laurels, is Isa-

bel Jewell, enacting the role of ahard-boiled, but good-hearted girlof the seaports.

Jimmy Ellison, an up and com-ing star, plays competently therole of a young marine who sticksto his friend Ayres through thickand thin. James Burke, WardBond, J. Carrol Naish, MaynardHolmes and Clay Clement all turned in excellent performances.

Enough praise cannot be givento Howard Bretherton for his cap-able and incisive direction — forthe introduction of the tenselysmashing climax—and for his per-mitting the story to be dramaticwithout being maudlin.

The second hit on the programis "The Return of Jimmy Valen-tine," featuring Roger Pryor, Charlotte Henry, Robert Warwick, and IEdgar Kennedy, which brings thisinteresting character back to thescreen with his brave deeds anddaring exploits more interestingthan ever. Added events for theweek are, every Friday night"Race Night" every Sunday night,"On the Stage, "Radio AmateurWinners," every Mo,n. and Thurs.,Free tableware to the ladies withan evening admission ticket.

hearty indorsement of literary ce-lebrities that has been given "To-bacco Road", Jack Kirkland's dra-ma which is coming to the Schu-bert Theatre, Newark, for an en-gagement of o,ne week, starting onMonday night, April 13. Such menas Theodore Dreiser, George JeanNathan, Alexander Woolcott, MarcConnelly, Carl Van Doren, StarkYoung and Brooks Atkinson of theNew York Times have written tocommend the play as an authenticportrayal of life among the sharecroppers of the south.

"I consider it the best play Ihave seen in some years" saidDreiser. "It is honest and forcefulreality and presents one of themany interesting sections of con-temporary American life whichrarely or never finds its way out-side its own territory. When itdoes so, it constitutes a valuablecontribution not only to the stage

"It is not only an honest anddeeply moving play," said MarcConnelly, author of "The GreenPastures," "but it is alive with thetragic reality of that corner ofAmerica it chronicles."

In a reveiew in Vanity Fair,George Jean Nathan wrote; "It is

a theatrical document often deepwith tragic humor and overtonedwith elements of the bitter beautyhiding in the womb of ugly truth."

Carl Van Dorcn pronnounced it"one of the most powerful movingand salty pieces of comedy everproduced in the United States."

In the current issue of Esquire,Gilbert Seldes ,the dramatic criticwrites: "Tobacco Road" deservedthe Pulizer Prize two years ago."

BARRON BASEBALL BRIGADE SHOWS GOOD FORM IN PAIR OF PRACTICE GAMESOMMENTS ON \PORTSs

=BY WINDSOR J, LAKIS-

With the Race DriversPREFACE

Last night, two boys walked into the office andasked for the sports editor. I looked through my pri-vate little peep-hole and seeing that they weren't tot-ing any gats, and had no fire in their eyes, I took thechance and introduced myself.

They said that they were members of theNew Jersey Speedway Club, of Fords, and want-ed to know if I knew of the organization. Well,I'll admit that my impression of the Club wasrather vague. I thought it merely a social outfit,but I soon learned that I was quite wrong.

The members of this organization are dyed-in-the-wool racing enthusiasts and can tell a Millerfrom a Dusenbergj by its hum, at a mile distance.You could inquire of them about the health of a chiv-er summering in Floriad or a speed merchant up in theRockies, and they'd have the information right at theirfingertips. So, I'm going to fade out of the picture andturn this column over to these two boys.

THE SPEEDWAY STRIPBy Toni Ladimer and Jim Yainmo

Ralph A. Hankinson will offer the first speedbattle of the A. A.A., gas jockeys in the East, April26, Sunday afternoon, on the beautiful half-mile, flatdirt track, located at the Reading Fair Grounds, in theKeystone State, of Pennsylvania.

* * * * *It's been rumored that the Woodbridge

Speedway, local speed strip will open in June orJuly under AAA salnction and a Ford V8 will begiven as a door prize every second meet, to theholder of the lucky ticket. (No passes).

!C * * * * *

Not since the days when the flicker, "The CrowdRoars/' thrilled the public in aJl movie houses has,any major studio gone to the expense of making an-other speedway film, but word comes from the M. G.M. studio that they are selecting a cast for the movie"Speed". A replica of Campbell's famous Bluebird isin the making, and the noted Lou Moore, is puttingthe finishing touches to three V8 Millers used in theflicker also.

* * * * *Among local boys who would like to get in

the racing game are: "Wild Bill" Sfcarrick, aFords lad, who attends -every race possible, andis always seen in the pits, getting the Lowdown ondriving from the more experienced driversJohlnny Kozub, Perth Amboy cleirk and deliveryboy in the Fords area, is also waiting for a chanceto show his stuff Joey Povoyski, a driver forRay's bus lines, claims he is building a race car tochallenge the old timers.

* • * * •The New Market Speedway, at one time, the

most popular speed range in the East, has turned outmore top notch drivers than any other dirt track inthe east, and is now a nice corn field. It will never beforgotten as many .drivers attribute their sucess tothat oval.

The new Union Speedway, a short drivefrom Newark, will be the scejne of AAA races onFriday evenings, although this track was to havebeen used under Garden State banners, it wasletarned that an AAA sanction has already beengranted for the coming season. No definite datehas been set for the opening as yet. The track isstyled after the famous Ascot Speedway, iin Cali-fornia.

* * * * *Bob Sail, Paterson speed demon, has left for the

LOTS OF ACTIONIS PROMISED ATNUTLEY SAUCER

NUTLEY.—The Nutley Velo-drome will begin its fourth seasonas the cycling center of the UnitedStates when Manager Joe Mieleopens the doors, Sunday afternoon.Three professional sprint races,three amateur events along with amotor-paced feature will be thefirst 1936 dish for pedal pushingbike fans.

In the motor-paced grind will be 1Franco Georgetti, the current title jholder; Alfred Letourner, the form'er champ; Mike De Fillipo, New-ark's First Ward Milkman andBobby Walthour, the blond pedal-ist from Woodridge, N. J. Theywill travel 25 miles in the firstchoo-choo event of the 1936 cam-paign.

Everybody is looking for Milk-man Mike to surprise both thechampion and Letourner. De Fil-lipo, it was who won six consecu-tive races at he Nutley saucer lastyear and his present riding at theindoor Coliseum track has beenjust as good if not better thanthose sparkling performances atthe outdoor Nutley bowl last year.

But its little Letourner the fieryFrenchman who is the most deter-mined chap. "I must win theeschampionship back if I want tokeep my nickname," said Letourner after a torrid session behindthe sputtering motorcycles intraining. Letourner is commonlyknown as "Champ" to the trainersand other bike riders. And themite bicyclist knows in order tokeep his common title he must re-gain the crow,n.

Among the sprinters who will beon hand for the opening meet are:Norman Hill, and Bill Honeman,the all-around and spri,nt champs;Cecil Walker, George Dempsey,Tom Saetta, Charley Ritter, BillGrimm, Dave Lands, Louis Cohen,Frank Keating and many others.The pros will compete in a one-mile handicap, five mile open withone dollar to the leader of each lapand a miss and out open invitationwhile the simon pures will have aone mile novice, four-seventhsmile handicap and a one mile op-en. The first event will start at 3o'clock sharp and the Nutley cy-cling ovalis located, on Park ave-jiue between Washington avenueand River Road, is accessible fromPaterson, Fassaic, Kearny, NorthArlington, Lyndhurst, Bellville,Bloomfield and of course Newark.

Toth and Rodak worked impressivejy for the winners and garnered Ihigh scoring honors. The latterscored 10 points for high man,while the former was second, byvirtue of nine counters.

WOMEN IN THE NEWSEvery once in a while one reads a story of a girl making tile

grade on a men's baseball tern. The reader may remember some"years ago in the grapefruit season when Joe Engel, master show-man, topped all events of this type by hiring a feminine playerto work out with his Chattanooga club- The young lady was apitcher par-excellence for women's teams, but when it came toplaying for the.Lookouts, the results of necessity, were secretlyprearranged. Engel making sure that (he opposing team had noidea of cutting loose at bat.

Well, the Yankees came through for an exhibition gamewith the Lookouts and said young: lady was selected to hurla short stretch of the game. All sorts of advance publicitysucceeded in bringing out the crowd as well as the sportswriters from a number of sections.

Of course, when the pla,ns were carried out, the mighty Babeand the equally as slugging Lou Gehrig went down swinging lust-ily at the mere lob that came across the platter. Of course thisstate of affairs could not be carried into the regular season, andsince Engel's purpose had been entirely fulfilled, the member ofthe fair sex was dropped from the squad pronto.

This is the only time we know of that a woman has playedon a men's team of such high standing, the Lookouts at the timebeing in a Class A league. However, two cases of high school girlsplaying on the ball team of their respective alma mmmies havebeen brought to mind through various means of publicity thisseason. In Webster, Mass., a 17-year-old girl, unless she is bannedbefore this readies print, is the ..regular first baseman on the highschool team there.

In 1935 she played first base regularly and was the in-centive for the increase in attendance, which proved to be tentimes as great as in 1934. However, it is reported that authori-ties are not so sure she will be allowed to participate in thegames this season.

She is said to be a wizard around first base where she per-forms outstandingly enough to offset her batting average, whichis slightly foelow that of the second string firstbaseman, who ofcourse, is a strong and healthy male. It might be interesting tonote whether the young lady, Miss Nellie Twardzik attempts tobreak into pro ball after her performances at Webster are termin-ated. Only another Engel trick could get her in.

Gus Hutteman, former RedGhost athlete, twirled nice ballfor the losing club, in striking outseven batters and allowing fivehits. Bahr, Eichler and Ondiro,took turns an the mound for thevisitors and allowed the Iselinteam but seven hits between them.

The Cardinals worked on Ste-wart in the initial frame for threehits and a like number of runs.Again in the fourth the Petreans'took the Iselin twirler's offeringsfor another trio of runs. Theyscored twice in the fifth to com-plete the run column.

Barnes showedFrisco that he was a hitter as wellas a pitcher. He lined a doublealong the right field foul line, scoring Karnas. Barcellona groundedout and then Jegiinski was hit byTiller. Scutti walked filling thebags. Tiller couldn't settle down soJohnny Karnas was given a freetrip to first forcing in Barnes. Gadek ended the inning by strikingout with the bases loaded. Hemade up for it by pulling downseveral line drives that looked likesure .hits.

There are three storesin the building, pne beingoccupied by Morris, sm-other by the Fords libraryand the third is vacant.This property originallybelonged to John Egan,who some 50 years agoerected the structure. Theproperty now belongs tothe township as 'a result ofdelinquent taxes.

Not many years ago Char-les Kish had his saloonthere. And in those days theycalled them saloons. Nowthey have become dignifiedtaverns. Such are the events"with the passage of time.

is dead, agitation againstthe use of capital punish-ment on the piart of thestate of New Jerseyshould Arise. What a spec-tacle would have beenaverted if the highest punishment for the Lindberghcrime was life imprisoin-ment.

There will be .nothing newin this agitation for doingaway with the electric chairand substituting in its place,life imprisonment for the following states have alreadydone so, they are: Kansas,Maine, Michigan, MinnesotaNorth Dakota, Rhode Island, ISouth Dakota and Wiscon-sin. '

These eight states repre 'sent one-sixth of the Unit- 'ed States, and crime inthem is a good ideal lessthlan in our own common-wealth. They say that theelectric chair does not pre-vent crime anyway. Whatdo you think?
