Lindbergh Maintains Hopes For Return of Baby Boy
HOPEWELL, N. J.. March 8 — (UP)—At 10 p.m. tonight,, exactly one week to the hour since Nurse Betty Gow made the horrifying discovery that the world's most famous baby was missing from his crib, there was an atmosphere of hopeful expectancy in the Lindbergh household.
Police continued their blunt refusal to discuss recent developments in the bunt for the baby's kidnappers, but it was known that Col. Henry Breckenridge, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s closest adviser, was ‘ somewhere on a secret mission.”
When Breckenridge left the Lindbergh home, he instructed the police and state troopers to see that he was not followed, by themselves or anyone else.
His departure released a flood of rumors that contact had been made witb the baby snatchers, and all Hopewell looked for definite results within the next day.
An unusual burst of activity
preceded Col Breckenridge's appearance at the Lindbergh home. Two cars, one heavily curtained, swept out of the back entrance to the estate, with two state troopers in each, and dashed at high speed towards Skillman.
A newspaper man called the Lindbergh house at 11:16 pm-seeking to confirm rumors that the baby had been found and was being taken to Englewood.
A man who answered the telephone said:
”1 hope you’re right, but I can't give out no information of any kind, good night." He then hung up the receiver.
Further optimism was seen la an offlcial statement on the case, Issued late tonight at Trenton ln response to newspaper men's questions.
In reply to a question as to “what are the latest developments ln the case,” the police shot back the terse response:
“Progress.”

WASHINGTON, March 8.— (UP) —The new billion dollar tax Increase measure now before congress will dip into the pockets of all persons except those In Jail In a gigantic effort to meet the government's 12,010,000,000 deficit
All "articles" except simple foods and a few other necessities will be the subject to the ,$f>95,-000,000 levy of 2% per cent "sales” tax.
The tax will be collected starting 30 days after the bill Is Migned, if tbe sales tax provision Is retained, lt will be collected from manufacturers under a system of licenses.
To prevent foreign goods from enter!Ing the American market ln competition with taxed articles, the bill provides for a 2% per cent tax to be collected at the customshouse on all Imports of manufactured goods.
The tax will apply to sales and Importations up to July 1, 1934.
The blll specifies that the "articles” to be taxed "Include commodities of every description, including gases and electricity, and also Including any commodity used for producing power, heat, or light; but does not Include real property."
The “sale price” on which thc tax is computed ls the price received by the manufacturer producer.
Sales of all articles for export, however, are exempt from the tax, as are sales to a state of any political subdivision. The list of articles specifically exempted from such taxes, made public in full to day, follows:
Farm or garden products produced ln the United States; fertilizers and their ingredients; garden or field seeds; bran aud shorts; and feeds or animals or fowls: Meat, fish, and poultry; bacon, hams, pig shoulders, and pig Jowls, not cooked or packed ln airtight containers; butter oleomargarine, and other subtsitutea for butter.

Sugar; tea; coffee; salt; water not In closed containers.
Any article which bears Inter-nal-revenue taxes under present law (cigars, cigarettes, playing cards, etc.).
tion, and the postponement of decision until yesterday was decided upon to enable members of the legislative body to obtain complete facts about the situation. As a result of their investigations, three councilmen switched their vote, while one of those opposing the ordinance was absent.
SHACKS NOT AFFECTED Shacks and other buildings now in evidence along the east side of University avenue will not be affected by thc new measure, but no more business structures may be built.
The vote yesterday followed a halfhour debate ln which the principle question was the efTect of the proposed ordlnnnee on pres ent owners and lessees of the property In question. It was finally clarified that If any of thc hot dog stands and ot|ier establishments now doing business there should cease business operations even temporarily, the property the place In question was located upon could not be used as a site for a place of business again
Councilmen who voted in favor of the ordinance yesterday were: Baker, Burns, Da via, Donley, Henning, Hyde, Ingram, McAllister, McKnlght, Thrasher and Randall. Of these, Hyde, Donley, and McAllister had previously voted against Its passage.
Unclaimed letters for the Chinese Student club, Fred Kaglhara, Ram Neth Kaura, and Alpha Mu Sigma are being held by the or-be claimed by the owners in 234 Student Union.
AGAINST S. C.
Councilmen who were firm in their refusal to aid the university's progress and voted against the measure were:
Coe. Ford, and Lewis. Councilman Jacobson, who had voted "no" three weeks ago, was absent yesterday, as was Councilman Randall at the previous vote.
Councilman Roy L. Donley opened the debate yesterday by announcing the reason for changing his vote. At flrst. he said, he thought the desire of S.C. was to secure passage of the rexonlng bill was motivated by a desire to deprive small property owners of their rights.
FAIR AND SQUARE "I have now come to the conclusion," he said, “that the University of Southern California has made every effort to be fair and square with the property holders.” In support of his statement, he read some figures that showed that one piece of near-campus property, assessed at |8350. was bid for by the university for |32,-COO, while the owner held out for $60,000. He referred indirectly to Mrs. Nancy Robbins, whose demands have hindered the projected library development.
Another nearby lot, Donley asserted, had been assessed at |95»0. The university had been willing to give $30,000, while the owner demanded $85,000.
GUILTY OF INJUSTICE We should be guilty of an In-JusUce to the university, Just as we should be guilty of sn injustice to the property owners if these were not the facts,” he concluded, "lf we allowed these people to perpetuate a highway robbery on the university.”

VERDICT UPHOLDS S. C. PROCEEDINGS IN CONDEMNATION
$9,000, Less Than Offer, Granted Mrs. Swain By Local Jury
Awarding the owner, Mrs. Swal«, $9,000, less than t!h« administration had offered In previous out-of-court negotiations, a Jury in tlie court of Superior Judge Charlea j E. Haas yesterday Upheld 8.C. Hi its suit to condemn the 100-foot I lot adjoining the physical educa-: tion building.
With the award came the su- j perlor court’s decision that an j amendment to the law of eminent j domain on which the «ase was • based ls constltutlonaL The sta*1 tute provides that private Institu- I ions which benefit the public may 1 use condemnation methods to se- { cure land.
Dissatisfied with the Jury's de- ! ctson, Mrs. Swain may appeal tho ! case, it was said yesterday. The 1 appeal would send the case to the state supreme court, thereby bringing about a farther test of | constitutionality, lf Mrs. Swain 1 does not appeal, someone elsa I will purchase the Judgment and 1 send lt up to the supreme tribunal, It ls believed. Immediate acceptance of $9,000 and surrender of the property by Mrs. Swain would close the matter but would not establish the validity of the law.
S.C. received nationwide attention when ths suit was filed by Henry Bruc*. comptroller, several weeks ago. A portion of the complaint mentioned the unpleasant appearance of washing hanging on tbe tenant's clothesline during social events.
Vincent Morgan, former Trojan law professor represented the university In court.
Firetruck, Apparatus Visit Campus; Only False Alarm
Psychologists would probably state that lt was due to some slumbering complex but the fire men oly know that someone rang tbe alarm in front of the Admin lstratlon building and they answered lt. Perhaps they were hop ing also that O.C. was burning down but lt is rumored that they get a bonus for every call they make.
Nevertheless, S.C.'s campus was visited by several pretty red flre trucks yesterday between tbe 10 and 11 o’clock classes. After tb" flre-fighters arrived with all their chemicals, hose and resuscitating apparatus to And that their game of checkers had been disrupted by a false alarm most of them grinned, but a few cracked wise about "cocky college kids” and what was going to happen to said kids
Students who quickly assembled ln an attempt to find firemen's methods in getting places so
quickly seemed to eniov the act.
Now dark rumors are being circulated that the alarm was sent ln by some student who, bored and weary from hell weeks, presentation teas and gals hinting for interfraternity formal dates, thought that the campus needed 11 little color and action.
At any rate, those present learned that L.A. possesses some very antiquated firefighting apparatus, a few asosrted firemen and some odd helmets resembling 1 Qjgnia Sigma Calls taose that the Keystone Kop. worn * Luncheon Meeting
