TRENTON. N. J., Feb. 24 — 'UP> —Gov. Harold G. Hoffman charged tonight that a prosecution witness committed perjury against Bruno Richard Hauptmann.
He added that prosecutors are “making a studied effort” to suppress facts favorable to Hauptmann, who is under sentence to die in the week of March 30 for the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh. Jr.
Tonight Hauptmann’s chances of escaping death seemed brighter than they have beer; ir two months. He seemed to realize that himself, for this afternoon his lawyer, C. Lloyd Fisher, came out of the death house and said: “Hauptmann is more cheerful.”
Whited Described The man whom Hoffman accused of lying on the Flemington witness stand is Millard Whited, a slow-spoken logger from the Jersey hills who cannot read well and who probably cannot define the word “perjury.”
But tonight Mrs. Anna Hauptmann merely was awaiting a nod from her lawyers to swear out a complaint against Whited. It she does lt will challenge the legality of everything that has happened to Hauptmann since he was extradited from the Bronx. New York, and brought to New Jersey to be tried for murder.
Last week Whited was taken into Hoffman’s office and questioned. Today the governor told why. Hoffman Explains "I did not question this man upon whose identification Hauptmann was brought back from the Bronx to stand trial in New Jersey because I thought he was not telling the truth, but because the printed and written record shows that he was lying.
“On April 26. 1932. he gave to the state police a signed statement in which he said he had never seen any cars of suspicious persons in the woods or in the vicinity of the Lindbergh home. His next signed statement is dated October 6, 1934. when, after having repeatedly shown photographs of Hauptmann by Corporal Wolf of the state police, and having been promised payment and a part of the reward, he went to the Bronx county jail and identified Hauptmann as the man he had seen twice in the vicinity of the Lindbergh home prior to March 1, 1932.”

Minister Delivers Maiden Speech in Commons, Outlines Policy
Copyright. 1936, by United Press.
LONDON. Feb. 24.—A new peace appeal revealing a more moderate British attitude toward oil sanctions against Italy, featured Capt. R. Anthony Eden's maiden speech as foreign secretary in the house of commons today.
Resisting Labcrite and Liberal demands for sanctions, Eden said he would go to Geneva Sunday intent on reviving conciliation in the Italo-Ethiopian conflict by the League of Nations committee of five.
“While taking our full part ln sanctions the government desires first aud foremost to see re-establishment of a just peace,” Eden said before crowded galleries.
League Is Willing
“The government will examine oil sanctions proposals Irom the viewpoint of whether they will help to halt the war. But in the view of the British government the committee of five's report still represents a basis 6n which any further attempts ac conciliation should be made.”
“If both sides even now accept the good offices of the league, of which both are members, I am sure there would be no hesitation among co-members in agreeing that the machinery of the committee of five is still available,” Eden said.
His remancs were interpreted as hinting that Britain would refrain from leading the league to sanctions, although Eden said the government has not departed from her decision to favor an oil embargo in principle nor from her resolve to participate with other members of the league in collective action,
La bo rites Oppose Policy
Diplomats thronging the galleries heard the Liberals, through Sir Archibald Sinclair, support Labor's insistence upon oil sanctions.
But also they heard L. C. Amery, conservative die-hard, oppose risking War for sanctions.
Sinclair urged a league oil embargo to win United States cooperation.
“I do not believe the United States would allow export of oil on a vast scale if it were clearly seen th3 direct eflect of those exports would prolong the war and neutralize the efforts and sacrifices for peace by league members,’’ he said.

Italy’s Delegates Refuse To Limit Arms
‘School for Wives’ Will Be Presented on S.C. Campus
Moliere’s “School for fives'’ will be the featured attraction to be presented in Bovard auditorium for three nights, beginning Thursday night at 8:15. Tickets for this famous French comedy, the second play to be given at S. C. by the Federal theaters, may be obtained in the bookstore of Student Union.
A comedy-satire of the seventeenth century, this playful little three-act comedy ls considered one of the best ever written by the great French dramatist. Taking an old theme, Moliere skillfully built an intriguing story about the society of his day.
A great opponent of what he considered social weaknesses, many of his plays are aimed directly at customs of French society, and in “School for Wives,’ he tells the story of a young French girl who is being trained for her social position. It Is an exposition of the system which was used at that time to train the young people for , their place ln society.
In true Moliere fashion, the story i develops with intricate comedy
scenes. Ingenious little plots carry the actors into embarrassing situations from which they extract themselves with reasonably sane results.
The famous ribbon scene that was regarded as shocking by the so-called prudish school of former days will add a bit of modern hilarity to a play nearly two centuries old.
A committee composed of members of the S. C. French department aided In choosing this French comedy for the Federal theaters project. Prof. Lawrence M. Riddle, who served as a member of the committee, nas remarked enthusiastically concerning its presentation.
“School for Wives” ls the second Federal theaters attraction to be presented in Bovard. The first play to be given by this group was "Knight of the Burning Pestle”, an English comedy, in January.
Eight hundred balcony seats at 10 cents will be available. All lower floor seats may be purchased for 25 cents.

LONDON. Feb. 24.—(IIP'—Italian delegates dealt a possibly fatal blow to the world naval arms limitations conference today.
Bluntly they told the British delegation their government is not interested in a naval arms agreement until League of Nations sanctions against Italy have been abolished and British fleet reinforcements have been withdrawn from the Mediterranean.
The Italian move followed recent similar action by France in informing Britain that enforcement of any new naval treaty must be contingent upon conclusion of a western European air pact and other safeguards for French security.

L. A. Police Relax Guard on‘Bums’
By United Press.
California’s “bum blockade" was reported In “orderly retreat” tonight, withdrawing from the 1,000-mile “front” where 136 Los Angeles policemen have guarded the state from invading hoboes for nearly a month.
Police Chief James E. Davis, author of the novel scheme for keeping California free of bums, refused to concede defeat of his plan, however, announcing only “unimportant outposts” are being abandoned.
Recall of the foreign legion reportedly was due to a complete absence of bums, rather than internal and external pressure brought on Los Angeles police officials for permitting use of members of the force In “foreign” duty.
