Student Leaders Discuss Proposals
Roosevelt, Landon Chosen As Presidential Nominees;
Daily Trojan Poll Closes
Nomination of President Franklin D. Roosevelt as the Democratic candidate to succeed himself by the largest personal total number of votes, naming of Gov. Alfred Landon as the Republican party’s candidate, and the outnumbering of Democrats voting by Republicans—these were the three most significant results in the presi--^- t
Wins Again
dential poll which the Daily Tro jan has conducted for the past seven days and which closed yesterday.
1049 students and faculty members participated in the poll by marking their preference on the form printed each day in the paper. In addition to indicating his nominee each voter stated whether or not he was eligible to vote in the actual election. As soon as the statistics can be broken down, information as to the actual support which the various candidates can expect from the university in the primaries will be available.
President Roosevelt, as yet expected, received an overwhelming backing in his own party to roll up a total of 495 votes. Governor Landon received 189 votes followed by former President Hoover with 116.
New Amendment
Following are the opinions of some of the members of the legislative council on the proposed amendment and legislative acts which were introduced last night before the council:
Nate Halpern. chairman of the freshman advisory committee:
“The proposal to move the election of the associated student president up to the early part of the second semester seems to me to have serious disadvantages which render it unworthy of adoption.
“In the first place, the new students who enter in February have little opportunity for examining the candidates for president in the short time proposed. In the present set-up. these newcomers have near

The Central Executive committee, sponding to a parliament in italistic countries, approved the ering military budget without dissenting vote after fiery :hes by Premier Viacheslav Mo-ov, who charged Germany and apan with warlike intentions; and lementi Voroshilov, commissar for 'ense. who ur|ed great expansion f the Russian military airforce.
A large part of the military bud-t will be spent on increasing the army, which already numbers .000 men. according to speeches ore the council. Additionally, bet-barracks. improved equipment d additional airpianes will be pro .ded.

“Then again, the newly elected student body president will have acquired such tremendous power that he might possibly control the coming election of other officers by expressed confidences and preferences.”
Willis Stanley, student president of the College of Engineering:
“I believe this proposition to be great advance step in successful student administration. The opportunity to learn intricacies of office alone should warrant the early election of the student body president. He would have time to select capable committee chairmen of repute to carry on the student organizations”
Art Groman. chairman of the constitutional committee:

President Roosevelt was nominated to represent the Democratic party in the presidential poll which closed yesterday. If the Trojan students could decide the matter, the president would face Gov. Alfred Landon of Kansas in the final November election.
A total of 526 Republicans marked ballots and 507 Democrats participated. Sixteen in other parties took part.
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho ranked third for the G. O. P. with 87 votes. Probably the greatest single surprise was the support which Gov. Frank Merriam received to place him fourth in the Republican list. His 61 votes represent a large bloc of students in the School of Law. Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, ran a poor fifth.

Air Liner Crashes, Killing Seventeen

Die in Plane Disaster In Arkansas Swamp
MEMPHIS. Tenn., Jan. 14— «T.E> —Seventeen persons were killed tonight when an American Airlines passenger plane crashed in a forest near Goodwin, Arkansas, the Memphis Municipal airport reported.
Ambulances rushed to the edge of the swamp when the plane first was reported down were turned into hearses to carry the bodies into Goodwin.
The 17 passengers were from all sections of the country. The plane left New York at 12:30 pjn. Tuesday, bound for Los Angeles. It I had paused at Washington, Phila-! delphia, Nashville, and Memphis.!
A check of its ports of call indi- j cated the following passengers were i aboard when the crash came:

Mrs. Benjamin Horowitz, 55. Boston. her mother-in-law.
Condemned Has Slim Hope For Reprieve From New Jersey Head
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 14.—(U^>— Rebuffed tonight in a desperate attempt to obtain a writ of habeas corpus delaying the execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, his attorneys announced after a conference that they probably would make a final effort through the United States supreme court to halt the execution scheduled for Friday night.
At conclusion of a four-hour conference Which followed denial of a habeas corpus writ by Justice J. Warren Davis of the federal circuit court of appeals, C. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense counsel, said:
Seek Supreme Court Aid
“We have decided to act in the direction of relief In the federal courts, probably in the United States supreme court.”
There are two possible methods the defense may use in the new effort to delay execution of the convicted slayer of the Lindbergh baby.
One is to go direct to Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts of the United States supreme court, who has jurisdiction over this district, and ask for a writ of habeas corpus, which means “produce the body.”
Will Avoid Davis
A second method is to go to one of the three federal circuit court of appeals judges in this district, of which Judge Davis is one, to ask for what Fisher called “a Writ of probable cause.” This amounts to an appeal from the adverse decision made by Judge Davis late today. If they could get this writ from one of the judges—obviously they would not go to Davis again—the attor neys would appear before the three circuit court of appeals judges sitting together in Philadelphia to ar gue the case.
Fisher said he had no assurance that a reprieve would be granted by Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, adding that defense plans were based on no hope of an executive stay.

My secretary was attending diligently to her knitting as I entered, but loked up brightly at me as though she had news of great import to tell.
‘I have news of great import to tell,” she said.
As I had been expecting Muso-lini to drop In, I evinced some interest, although I was In no mood to listen to orations.
"Yes?” I said. “Who was It? Bento r
She gestured negatively.
“I never did find out who It was,” she admitted. “Here I was. knitting one and purling one. and getting this pair of socks into a worse state than they were before, when— crash! the dor flies open, and— zowie! In comes this wild-eyed individual mutterin’ curses and screamin’ incoherently.”
I paused in the act of blowing my nose to ponder.
“Did you not,” I asked, “ascertain the gentleman’s business?” “WeU—’
“Did you not,” I pursued, “get any specific description of his physical appearance?”
“Well—”
“Did he not, ’ I continued, carry-idng my point to its logical conclusion with that withering logic that is so typical of us Mander-baughs, “leave a message, a forwarding address, or a reasonable facsimile of the same?”
My secretary, by this time bulsh-ing furiously at my chldlngs, looked down and whispered:
“Well, he said he *as the Wampus editor, but of course I didn’t believe that . . . there ls no such
thing, is there, Mr. Manderbaugh?” I sat down and patted her shoulder.
“Can you stand a shock?” I asked. “I think that it is time for you to learn the facts ... of the case. Yes, there is—1 put your arm here—yes, that’s right)—ther is a Wampus editor. And from what I’ve heard, he’s looking for me because there is a new Wampus coming out Friday.” “Will it be a good Wampus. Mr. Manderbaugh?”
“Yes darl—yes. it will. I have been informed that Child Life, that sterling magazine devoted to our young ones’ welfare, has been paradied unmercifully by the courageous and Intelligent Wampus staff.”
“Did you write anything, ang—Mr. Manderbaugh?”
“Yes,” I replied, removing a knitting needle from my ear. “I contributed a bedtime story at my usual rate; Asquith Q. Borklittle, one of my contempories, will be back with more of nis nonsense; and Cousin Bill Roberts—” and here I bowed my head in reverence to the Great Maestro—’has given us an article of his usual high merit.”
“Is that all, hon—J. Claude?”
“No I responded. ‘That is not all! The greatest feature of the year—The Man of The Year—has been chosen and will be announced in this, th** Newest and Greatest of the Wampil.”
My secretary paused to take a few stitches.
“Are you sure that’s not all, Clau-die-Waudle?”
I took a firm grip on my emotions.
“WeU ..." I said.
Instead, its executive committee voted to refer to a special committee “without publication, the report of the committee of the section of criminal laW as to certain phases of publicity and conduct in connection with criminal trials.” Reason for the decision, while unannounced, was learned to be partly that publication of the report at a time when Hauptmann’s execution is imminent might cause unwelcome complications.
Consequently, the special committee was authorized to “invite the cooperation of other organizations for the purpose of formulating standards which wiU be designed to avoid ‘prejudicial publicity and conduct in connection with judicial and quasi-judicial proceedings.’” ’
But it Was learned on excellent authority that the report included recommendations for the conduct of future court proceedings which also were a criticism of the Hauptmann trial.
Evidence of what the federal government has been able to do In its fine arts projects in Los Angeles wiU be presented to students and faculty of the University of Southern California Thursday afternoon, when the federal music project symphony orchestra of 85 men appears in a two-hour concert on the stage of Bovard auditorium.

This concert is being sponsored by the School of Music. Director Max Swarthout yesterday said that the university might expect future concerts by this organization if attendance is good Thursday and urged both the faculty and student body to be present.
The program will be: Passacaglia, Johann Sebastian Bach; Elegie and Musette from the incidental music to “King Christian II,” Jan Sibelius: “Tsar-Sultan” suite.

G.O.P. Starts Siege Of New Deal Rivals
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14 — Oi— Looking toward November's presidential election, representatives today opened political fire on Presei-dent Roosevelt and his policies.
Rep. Charles A. Eaton, R.. N. J.. said the president had “scrapped* the 1932 Democratic program and that much of the new deal already had been declared unconstitutional or soon would be.
He aftacked Postmaster General James A. Farley as “the whitest political lily ever nurtured in the Tammany tradition since Bass Tweed went to jaU.”
Chairman John J. O'Connor. D, N.Y., of the house rules committee, repUed sarcasticaUy that he was “disappointed” in Eaton'a speech and said that if it represented the keynote of the Republican attack they might just as well go on a vacation until next November.
Rep. Allen F. Treadway. R, Mass.. took up the Republican attack by hitting the reciprocal trade agreements. He said they wer® tearing down the tariff wall in an unconstitutional manner.
Rep. John W. McCormick, D* Mass., turned to the current controversy between Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican national committee and the major radio chains. He said Fletcher’s “insinuations” that the administration controlled the radio was absolutely untrue.

Student Leaders Discuss Proposals Roosevelt, Landon Chosen As Presidential Nominees; Daily Trojan Poll Closes Nomination of President Franklin D. Roosevelt as the Democratic candidate to succeed himself by the largest personal total number of votes, naming of Gov. Alfred Landon as the Republican party’s candidate, and the outnumbering of Democrats voting by Republicans—these were the three most significant results in the presi--^- t Wins Again dential poll which the Daily Tro jan has conducted for the past seven days and which closed yesterday. 1049 students and faculty members participated in the poll by marking their preference on the form printed each day in the paper. In addition to indicating his nominee each voter stated whether or not he was eligible to vote in the actual election. As soon as the statistics can be broken down, information as to the actual support which the various candidates can expect from the university in the primaries will be available. President Roosevelt, as yet expected, received an overwhelming backing in his own party to roll up a total of 495 votes. Governor Landon received 189 votes followed by former President Hoover with 116. New Amendment Following are the opinions of some of the members of the legislative council on the proposed amendment and legislative acts which were introduced last night before the council: Nate Halpern. chairman of the freshman advisory committee: “The proposal to move the election of the associated student president up to the early part of the second semester seems to me to have serious disadvantages which render it unworthy of adoption. “In the first place, the new students who enter in February have little opportunity for examining the candidates for president in the short time proposed.

The opportunity to learn intricacies of office alone should warrant the early election of the student body president. He would have time to select capable committee chairmen of repute to carry on the student organizations” Art Groman. chairman of the constitutional committee: “The only advantage to be gamed i from the new proposal is that the! president - elect will have two I months of experience as an ob- i server of presidential activities and i { powers.

A total of 526 Republicans marked ballots and 507 Democrats participated. Sixteen in other parties took part. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho ranked third for the G. O. P. with 87 votes. Probably the greatest single surprise was the support which Gov. Frank Merriam received to place him fourth in the Republican list.

Air Liner Crashes, Killing Seventeen Two California Passengers Die in Plane Disaster In Arkansas Swamp MEMPHIS. Tenn., Jan. 14— «T.E> —Seventeen persons were killed tonight when an American Airlines passenger plane crashed in a forest near Goodwin, Arkansas, the Memphis Municipal airport reported. Ambulances rushed to the edge of the swamp when the plane first was reported down were turned into hearses to carry the bodies into Goodwin. The 17 passengers were from all sections of the country. The plane left New York at 12:30 pjn. Tuesday, bound for Los Angeles. It I had paused at Washington, Phila-! delphia, Nashville, and Memphis.!

J., Jan. 14.—(U^>— Rebuffed tonight in a desperate attempt to obtain a writ of habeas corpus delaying the execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, his attorneys announced after a conference that they probably would make a final effort through the United States supreme court to halt the execution scheduled for Friday night. At conclusion of a four-hour conference Which followed denial of a habeas corpus writ by Justice J. Warren Davis of the federal circuit court of appeals, C. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense counsel, said: Seek Supreme Court Aid “We have decided to act in the direction of relief In the federal courts, probably in the United States supreme court.” There are two possible methods the defense may use in the new effort to delay execution of the convicted slayer of the Lindbergh baby. One is to go direct to Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts of the United States supreme court, who has jurisdiction over this district, and ask for a writ of habeas corpus, which means “produce the body.” Will Avoid Davis A second method is to go to one of the three federal circuit court of appeals judges in this district, of which Judge Davis is one, to ask for what Fisher called “a Writ of probable cause.” This amounts to an appeal from the adverse decision made by Judge Davis late today. If they could get this writ from one of the judges—obviously they would not go to Davis again—the attor neys would appear before the three circuit court of appeals judges sitting together in Philadelphia to ar gue the case. Fisher said he had no assurance that a reprieve would be granted by Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, adding that defense plans were based on no hope of an executive stay.

I said. Instead, its executive committee voted to refer to a special committee “without publication, the report of the committee of the section of criminal laW as to certain phases of publicity and conduct in connection with criminal trials.” Reason for the decision, while unannounced, was learned to be partly that publication of the report at a time when Hauptmann’s execution is imminent might cause unwelcome complications. Consequently, the special committee was authorized to “invite the cooperation of other organizations for the purpose of formulating standards which wiU be designed to avoid ‘prejudicial publicity and conduct in connection with judicial and quasi-judicial proceedings.’” ’ But it Was learned on excellent authority that the report included recommendations for the conduct of future court proceedings which also were a criticism of the Hauptmann trial.
