Legal Profession Has Own
House to Clean
The next time some lawyer gets up to weep In pub-
lic about the undue publicity which attaches itself to
the trials of prominent criminals in this country
someone will have to remind him of the closing flur-
ry of the Bruno Hauptmann case.
The Hauptmann case i* by wav of becoming the
horrible example of modern legal history; because of
the "circus atmosphere” which surrounded It from
the moment Hauptmann was overtaken by the cop*.
. Running true to form it flared up with a new spat-
tering of black headlines Just the other day. And this
flare-up. you might note was strictly the work of the
legal profession
Convicted of murder and under sentence of death.
Hauptmann hired a new lawyer for himself. This
lawyer held a aeries of conferences with the condemn-
ed man. to see whether he could take the case with
any chance of success. In the end he decided that he
could not. and withdrew.
All right so far; that sort of thing has happened In
hundreds of criminal cases. But note how It came out
in this case.
These final conferences between Haurtmann and
the new lawyer were accompanied by all the spiritual
and emotional e'fects of a brass band and a sound
film The countrv at large sat in on them vicariously.
With remarkably little lost time. It learned what the
lawyer had said to Hauptmann what Hauptmann had
■aid to the lawyer and what the lawyer thought
about It all.
And then to cap the climax the lawyer announced
publicly that he could not take the case because his
talks with Hauptmann convinced him that “Haupt-
mann is gulltv as hell”
Now there is one thing that Irritates the august
legal rw'fesslon more than any other and that Is
"trying the case In the newspaners" By and large
the bar has spent almost as much energy denouncing
the press for this custom as it has expended in col-
lectlng its fees.
But what has Just happened Is an example of this
▼erv thing In Its most striking form
If “trial in the newspapers" prejudices a man’s
ease. In the public mind how must Hauptmann’s case
be prejudiced now?
To be sure the man has already been convicted
and the electric chair Is not far away. But insofar
aa he has a chance left: Insofar as there still is room
for him to put up a fight^-does not a performance
like this put Hauptmann still farther back of the
eight ball?
And this mind you. was not the work of the press
but of the legal profession itself.
Frontier Spirit Live* On
The cruel weather of the present winter has nro-
duced many stories of courage In the face of pitiless
cold and mountains of snow.
In Montana two boys. Paul La Roeque. 13. and Mar-
tin Debray 19. trudged 60 miles through deep snow
In bitter weather for medical assistance for La Roc-
que's mother. In South Dakota's Black Hills the
H1"ht brothers pilot'nsr small planes mounted on
•kis. flew through blinding storms to deliver food
and fuel to snowbound communities to care for tha
sick and to carry mail.
In other parts of the country "mercy” flyers and
rescue expeditions braved temperatures as low as
40 below zero to save lives and livestock. From the
high seas came dramatic stories; and to read them Is
to feel a sense of Pride in the valiant spirit that still
characterizes America.
We are glad that there is only occasional call for
such courage—but it is also good to know that when
there is need of It the spirit of the frontier survives.
So This Is* Hitlerism?
Cables from Oarmisch-Partenkirchen. scene of
the winter Olympics in Germany recently carried a
perfect portrayal of sonje of the less pleasant aspects
of dictatorship.
Two persons were hurt several fainted and hun-
dreds were bruised and scratched in a milling crowd
which Nazi soldiers kept in the Olympic stadium for
more than two hours until Chancellor Hitler and
other high officials had departed.
Many stood ankle-deep in mud. but this made no
difference to the Nazi guards ordered to hold back
the crowds so that Reichsfuehrer Hitler might come
and go with safety and ease. Intermittently the Natl
salute was required of all.
But strangely one correspondent cabled most of
these regimented thousands seemed satisfied. They had
learned to bear the yoke meekly which Is perhaps
the chief reason for giving thanks that America is
net under a dictatorship.
The Truth About Diet
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical Assn
and Hvgeia. the Health Magazine
RUN-DOWN. UNDERNOURISHED PERSONS
REQUIRE HIGH VITAMIN DIETS
When your doctor tells you to take a high vitamin
diet you should select the fcods that are richest in
the vitamins and add them to your regular diet.
Under these circumstances remember that vitamin
A is found most frequently in halibut liver oil. cod
liver oil. butter and eggs. Vitamin D is most freely
available in yeast or malt extracts and in the germ
of the various grains.
Vitamin C is most profuse in orange or tomato
Juice and in the leafy green vegetables. D is had
most easily in cod liver oil but is now also available
in vitamin D jnilks and similar preparations.
So far as is known any good diet provides plenty
of vitamin E particularly a diet with plenty of mus
TODAY’S HEALTH QUESTION
Q — Is there a cure for arthritis?
A—There i* no single cure but there are many
different useful methods of treatment. These In-
clude not only drag treatment* but vaccines phy-
sical therapy heat applied in various forms the
application of orthopedic apparatus such as splints
and braces and sometimes complete control of diet
rest exercise etc. Every case should have Individ-
ual study as to the factors Involved and should be
treated accordingly.
cle meat and fat. egg yolk and milk The second sig-
nificant factor of vitamin B Is present in eggs milk
and yeast.
Thus the addition of cod liver oil and yeast to any
of the diets already mentioned will usually cover
most of the requirements for vitamins.
It is always well to remember that persons who are
dieting for any cause are In danger of developing
vitamin deficiencies and that they should guard
against such deficiencies by a liberal supply of the
substances here mentioned.
For many persons who are generally low In health
for those who have developed weakness because of
malnutrition or starvation high vitamin menus are
recommended. Following is a specimen high vitamin
diet:
BREAKFAST: Orange juke (chilled); oatmeal with
cream and sugar and a tablesnoonful of cereal germ;
two soft-boiled eggs; buttered toast: glass of milk.
LUNCHEON: Shredded pineapple (chilled); cream-
ed salmon: baked potato and butter: buttered green
peas; Jellied vegetable salad with mayonnaise dress-
ing: bread and butter fresh ripe fruit; glass of milk.
DINNER: Melon cup; watermelon cantaloupe and
hcneydew melon; roast beef; baked potato with but-
ter; stewed tomatoes; buttered spinach; fresh vege-
table salad with French dressing; bran muffins with
butter: ice cream with fresh fruit sauce; glass of
milk.
College students In this country are about as con-
servative a group as you'll find—too conservative.—

Behind the
Scenes in
Washington
By RODNEY DUTCHER
Brownsville Herald Washington
Correspondent
WASHINGTON Feb. 20—Law-
yers may differ among themselves
as to the breadth or narrowness ol
the TVA decision but almost any one
of them will still tell you he would
give his right eye—or at least a
couple of minor toes—to know Just!
what went on in the secret U. 8
Supreme Court conference* which
produced the opinion.
Only nine men know. But the de-
duction of those who best know the
court and its ways is that there was
more turmoil among the black-rob-
ed gentlemen than at any time prev-
iously in this generation.
Their Idea is that a court which
so frequently ha* whacked at New
Deal legislation must have been
forced Into a bit of a dither before I
It handed down a decision favorable
to the New Deal.
The administration's lawyers. In-;
eluding some of the most clear- ]
headed ones have it all figured out
that a conservative majority of Jus-
tices originally wrote an opinion!
which declared TVA and the sale of
power unconstitutional and that in
the 60 days elapsing before the de-
cision the majority was persuaded
to change its attitude—with the ex-
ception of Justice McReynolds. who
opined TVA was accomplishing un-
constitutional purposes.
(Chief Justice Hughes. Butler.
Sutherland and Van Dcvanter
agreed TVA had the right to dispo*e
of electric energy developed at Wil-
son Dam and to operate transmis-
sion lines while Brandeis. Robert*.
Stone and Cardozo said the suing
minority stockholders of the Ala-
bama Power Company had no stand-
ing and that their appeal shouldn't
be heard.)
• • •
Change of Heart Rumored
Aeide from the long delay on the
opinion there la “evidence” that an
original dissenting opinion was such
ss to cause a change. The concur-
ring opinion of Brandeis. stone Car-
dozo. and Roberts agreeing a* to
constitutionality bore evidence that
seme of it had once been part of a
dissenting opinion.
Em"ha*is by Brandeis. w'ho de-
livered it. on historical evidence
thet in earlier years the court had
been loath to declare acts of Cnn-
'ir'ss unconstitutional seemed to in-
dicate a presupposition that the m.a-
Icritv had declared an act uncon-
stitutional in this c?se.
In the subsequent legal gossip j
Hughes has been given credit for
“seeing the light” and persuading
Sutherland. Butler and VanDsvan-
ter to go along with him.
Motivating Hughes authorities on
the court sugae't. mu“ have be*n a
dissenting opinion little short of
hair-raising. For some time the lib-
eral Brandeis-Stone-Cardoto minor-
ity has been increasingly plain-spok-
en in accusing the majority of ban
faith and disreg'rri of precedent and
traditional principle.
The theory is that the minority s
opinion reached a new climax which
would publicly have split the court
wide open by showing that the ma- j
joritv was flying in the face of pre-
cedent for 50 years back.
# • •
Possible Influences Cited
Hieh up in the administration it
is believed that certain external
facts al*o finally influenced the
court:
1 —The definite romantic popu-
larity of TV A including common
belief in its reasonableness and the
fact that to ruin it would be even
more unpopular than the decision
against AAA.
2— The storm over the AAA ana
the danger to the court’s prestige
Inherent in cumulative effect of a
series of opinions arousing mass re-
sentment.
3— Obvious intention of the ad-
ministration to make use of 6-3 and
5-4 divisions of the court to charge
lack of infallibility.
4— The attack on the AAA deci-
sion by Senator George W. Norris.
• • •
Perhaps They Wrangle
Such explanations cannot be taken
as gospel and the court guards its
secrets well. But enough Justices
have whispered to their secretaries
In time past to make it plain that
the court sometimes fights ana
wrangles like a legislative body and
that a majority opinion may be
drafted ten or a dozen times b-rore
it is enunciated from the bench.
New Dealers feel rather good about
the decision though realizing that
a court majority may soon show in
another case that the decision was
% narrow one indeed.
Politically the visible effect you
can expect is a soft-pedalling of
criticism bv members of the admin-
istration itself—such as Secretaries
Ickes and Wallace—but a continu-
ance of attack from pro-adminls-
tTation senators whose words likely
will have the administration's se-
cret approbation.

NOW GO ON WITH THE dTORT
CHAPTER XV
'I'1 HE purse- scratched hta head
when he saw that the necklace
was gone “Well* he said "now
we’re got a motive for the crime—
or have we? A Jewel !> lifted oat
of a locked trunk and a man ta ly-
ing dead on the floor 1 can’t eon
oect them" He appealed to the
detective “Here you take tbe case
Ton ve been retained by Miss I .an*
I’ll lust look on and be tbe ship’s
officer st tbe tnquest."
But Dirk spoke up. Tt looks
simple Mannle Jackson was shot
That means two men entered the
room. Suppose ths pair came In
together opened the trunk got tbe
lewel and closed tbe trunk again
Maybe one of them didn’t want to
share the loot He pulled a gun
and shot Msnnle Jackson thus
keeping the Koklnor for himself”
This theory didn’t suit the de-
tective. “Suppose.- he said “a
blackmailer came in alone to look
for damaging bits of evidence Let
ters. as Miss Lane suggested Then
another man comes In looking for
the Koklnor diamond He sur-
prised the blackmailer. Mannle
Jackson and shoots him Tben he
opens the trunk snd takes the
Jewel."
“That’s It?" the purser sal-
“But who—who was the thief?-
“That’s our Job to flod out"
The purser said. “All right Have
you any suspects?"
"No. fnless you mean every man
snd woman on shipboard."
There was a knock on the door
and Snowsboea opened It. Jane
eras standing there with Tlno Rossi
at her side. Jane spoke to Dirk
"What has happened?" she asked
“When you left me 1 knew some
thing was wrong.”
Suddenly she saw the figure on
the floor. A cry escaped her lips
That man! 1 distrusted him the
moment 1 saw him Too remember.
Dirk. He followed aa."
Tlno said. "That was the man
you struck this afternoon on deck
wasn't It?"
“Yes" Dirk replied.
"But why.* Jane asked "waa he
in your suite. Dirk?"
T exchanged suites with Miss
Lane yesterday."
• a a
JANE was still Incredulous. She
* looked at Mannle Jackson aod
said. ’When when did it happen?"
“Between 11 o'clock and mid
night."
"While Tlno mud 1 were on deck."
Jane breathed slowly looking op at
the opera singer.
The deck steward knocked and
entered. Snowshoee bad closed the
door of the bedroom shotting out
the gruesome sight The steward
advanced to the purser who bad
called him
"This Is the A-deck steward.” be
said.
dnowsboea asked. "Did yon see
anyone enter this snlte tonight be-
tween 11 and midnightf”
"No sir It isn't part of my duty
to watch the stateroom a I notice
people going by."
"Whom did you tee on Dock A
during that hour?"
"1 must have seen a hundred. A
lot of people didn't go to the eaba
ret They're all met passengers to
me. ! didn't notice anyone In par
tlcular."
"All right" Snowshoee said. "Ton
can go.”
After be bad gone Snowshoee
opened the door of the bedroom
again. Ken Martin the crooner
stood staring at the body of 'he
murdered man. Linda Bayes was
behind him. 8he said. “Has the
necklace been stolen?"
Everybody looked at ber sharply
Showaboet aaid. "How did you
know a jewel had anything to do
with this?"
Ren stiffened to defend Linda
"Look here—!" be began.
“Easy!” 8nowsboet cautioned.
“Let the young lady answer for
herself*
"It was just a question." Linda
replied. "The question anyone
would ask. knowing about the value
of the Koklnor diamond."
"And at for the explanation of
our pretence here." Ken went on.
“we suspected something and fol-
lowed Tlno Rossi and Mlaa Weston
to the suite. When 1 tried the door
it was open. 8o we came In."
Snowshoee asked. "Did either of
you know Dutch Lent when he
owned the Tip Top Club?"
A look was exchanged between
Linda and Ken. "No-o.” the aaid
weakly.
Ken corroborated ber dental
“Anyhow." be said “we were sing-
ing In the ballroom and oar all
evening. Didn’t leave once either
of ua.*
The purser said. “Dutch Lens
He a the heavy-set guy with a
cropped bead isn’t be? 1 remem-
ber now "
"T'd like to talk to Lent" Snow
shoes told the purser. “As ships
officer will you call him In? And
while were questioning him. have
his stateroom searched. Thor-
oughly!"
rpHE detective was pacing off the
* number of steps between the
bedroom door and trunk when a
large woman in a dressing gown
walked Into the room. it was
Madame Doremua.
She could not see the man on the
floor of the bedroom. Madame
Doremua began uncertainly. "1
have the suite next door There
was eo much noise In here I
couldn’t sleep Who Is the man
who was murdered?"
Everyone lumped. Snowshoee
closed the door to the bedroom
faced the woman. "Madame." be
said "there has been no murder.
What makes you think there has
been?"
"1 couldn't go to sleep. 1 had
lust taken two tablets when 1 beard
something that sounded like a shoe
followed by a groan 1 polled the
covers over my bead and tried to
90 to sleep. Then 1 heard more
noise and here 1 am."
“Are yon alone in yonr suiter*
the detective asked
“No. I have a traveling com
panina Millie. Bnt Millie didn't
awaken.* Madame Doremns went
on. “I’m on this cruise for a rest
but I haven't bad my eyaa eloaed
since I came on board *
The doctor called from tbe bed-
room then and suddenly tbe door
buret open affording a view of
Mannie Jackson outstretched os
tbe floor Madame Do re mat
•creamed It was a shrill cry which
brought the doctor to her aide he-
tore the fainted They put her on
the lounge in the fitting room end
the doctor applied restoratives
The dowager came to with a
startled cry. "It's a wonder I'm
not dead.* she snorted She flounced
out of tbe room scorning tbe help-
ful arm tbe doctor offered her.
No sooner was tbe gone tbao tbe
parser returned with Dutch Lena
"I don't know a thing about it *
Dutch waa saying "1 don't know
nothing” When be saw tbe body
on the floor be leaned over it “It's
Mannie. all right.” he said then.
"He was my pal He came on tble
cruise to get some rest. That'a all
I know *
“When did you see him laatT"
Snowshoes asked.
Dutch thought a moment *It
was about S o'clock.” he said. “In
our stateroom We were dolling up
for tbe party in the ballroom
Somehow we didn’t get around to
going. I was in the bar moat of
tbe evening talking to Joa Ton
know—the bartender."
"Where have you been since 11
o'clock?"
AAA
rjUTCH looked down at the body.
^ **!• that when be stopped the
ballet?" he asked. "I saw Joe at
11 o’clock. The rest of the time 1
was wandering around the ship 1
was all around and I wasn’t watch
ing no tick-tock to explain where
I’d been every minute"
The detective’s voice dripped
venom now "Were you on Deck
A?" he asked
"No. I didn’t come up this high *
Snowshoes said. “You’re the only
person on shipboard who knew
Mannte. Can you tell us If he bad
any enemies*"
"No. He didn't know anybody
on board. "Unless”—suddenly be
nodded st Dirk—“It was that guy
1 saw him take a crack at Mannl*
this afternoon."
Dirk blushed out 8nowshoe»
waved the reference aside. “Why
do you suppose your pal was In this
suite?" be asked.
Dutch shrugged. "I’ve told you
all 1 know Maybe be got con
fused and thought this was bit
stateroom. Was anything stolen?"
"Would your pal's key have fitted
this door?" Snowshoes said acidly
“He got In with less truoble than
be bad getting out When be trleo
to leave the bullet stopped him
The Koklnor diamond was taken
from that trunk
Dutch grunted "Mannie wasn't
Interested In trinkets." be said
'We took this trip for our bealtb—«"
Snowshoes turned to the purser
"Who bad keys to 8uite AA be-
side? Miss Lane** be asked
The purser thougbt a moment
"There’s one in my office * be said
“locked op. The room steward ba*

"You dldnt turn In the one you
