American Bar Asso.
Issues A Scathing
Rebuke To Court
(By The Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES, July 16, Conduct
of the trial of Bruno Richard Haupt
mann, convicted slayer of Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh's infant son,
will be given a stinging rebuke to
day by the American Bar Associa
tion holding its annual session here.
A committee report it was learn
ed will charge both prosecution and
defense attorneys with "disregard
ing accepted rules of dignity and
ethics” of the legal profession. The
report assails counsel for “taking
advantage of the situation by per
sonnel interviews to the press and
talks over the radio.”
"To treat a simple trial as a pub
lic show is to cheapen life itself by
causing people generally to under
value the life of the criminal and
to increase the morbid desires of
sensation seekers.” The report point
ed out a miscarriage of justice is
possible through “excess of senti
mentality or a desire for vengeance
in the spirit of the mob.”

Criticizes Conduct
Hauptmann Trial
(By The Associated Press 1
WASHINGTON, July 16, — J.
Edgar Hoover, Director of the De
partment of Justice’s bureau of in
vestigation termed the Hauptmann
trial a “disgusting spectacle of a
Roman holiday” and thus register
ed his vigorous agreement with the
criticism voiced by the American
Bar Association committee.
Hoover said “I worked on the case
and was convinced Hauptmann was
guilty, but I think the man who
is on trial for his life is entitled to
a little consideration. The press is
not to blame; if you put on a freak
show, the press reported it as such."

gions had rain clouds. Scientists

said that observations showed no
changes in the craters of the moon

UNCONSTITI TIONAE IS
DECISION HANDED IN
BY THE CIRCUIT COURT
.
(By The Associated Press')
BOSTON, July 16—The United States Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled that processing taxes collected under the
Agricultural Adjustment Act. were unconstitutional. The
Court was divided in its opinion, two to one.
Its decision held that both processing and floor taxes as
levied by the Agricultural Act. were unconstitutional. The
decision was handed down in the case of the Hoosac Mills,
which appealed an unfavorable decision of Federal Judge
Elisha Brewster, to the circuit court.
The collection of some seven hundred million dollars
in processing taxes, all over the nation, hinges upon the
question of constitutionality of the alleged authority.
The Boston court, in handing down its decision, found
no such authority to impose taxes, had been delegated to
the Secretary of Agriculture by the constitution, or by de
cisions of the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, July 16, —The prompt appeal to the1
Supreme Court of the United States, on the adverse ruling of
unconstitutionality of the processing taxes, by the Boston
Circut Court of Appeals, was promised by lawyers of the
Department of Justice, today, when they received word of
the decision which places another stumbling block in the
way of additional revenue to the government, running into
the millions of dollars.

at the Orly airdrome.

J. P. Ohmichen, French engineer,

erful one.
The purpose of the invention is to
enable a completely verticle assent
and descent as well as to permit the
aviator to remain stationary in mid
air. In the recent experiments.whieh
were held inside a hangar, the craft
arose in a perfectly straight line to
75 feet Where it remained stationary
for several minutes before landing
on the very same chalk lines that
marked its take-off point
The airplane part of the combina
tion is equipped with a 40-horsepow
er engine and four small propellors.
The balloon half is composed of rub

with air instead of hydrogen. The
entire machine does not weigh more
than 350 kilograms.
