The robber took less than a dollar in change from Aston. The couple had been visiting relatives and on going out to drive home were held up by a man who was slouched down in the front seat of their automobile. He lined them up with Mrs. Aston in front of her husband and then went through his pockets for money and the car keys. Aston had declared the keys were in the house in an effort to stall the robber. Unable to find the starter on the car, the bandit took Aston's word that it had to be cranked and forced Aston at the point of a gun to find the crank and turn it. In an effort to start the cold machine, the bandit broke off the choke wire and finally had to give up the idea of escape in it. He picked up a small suitcase and some bundles that he had in the car antl told them to stand perfectly still in front of the automobile. au-tomobile. He backed off down the street with his gun on them conritantly- The only description that the couple could glean was that he was a tall man, dressed in dark trousers, a dark cap and a zipper-front zipper-front lumberjacket. They reported the holdup immediately im-mediately to Officers Bert Hal- laday and Wesley Robey spent two hours trying to who find i trace of the individual. - - - - Draws Throngs Week of Showing they write of their favorite picture. pic-ture.

PROCESS TAX RESTORATION SEEN IN NOTE Taxes Would Cover Thirty Commodities, Raise 200 Million WASHINGTON, April 4 (U.R) A special memorandum from President Roosevelt to congressional leaders was interpreted in-terpreted today as a demand for restoration of proposed new processing; taxes to the tax bill. In a one-paragraph note to Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson and House Speaker Joseph Jo-seph W. Byrns, the president warned again that the new tax bill must provide sufficient revenue reve-nue to balance the ordinary budget. bud-get. House leaders said they considered con-sidered his suggestion meant that the White House-proposed processing pro-cessing taxes were essential for ordinary budget balancing. The tax bill is now before the house ways and means committee. 300 Millions New processing taxes proposed in the president's special message of March 3 would cover approximately approxi-mately 30 commodities and raise an estimated $200,000,000 annually annual-ly for two years. The proposal was discarded by the house tax subcommittee in the belief sufficient suffic-ient revenues could be raised otherwise. The memorandum, like a recent letter to Senator Carter Glass, D., Va., warned that any new appropriations must be balanced with new revenue. The American Liberty League, an outspoken anti-administration organiaztion, supported organized business today in opposition to the president's tax proposals. The league said the tax proposal marked "a definite end of the 'breathing spell' promised by him to business in September, 1935." Processing taxes are opposed by many congressmen who believe they would raise food costs. They want to avoid them in an election year. Jefferson Day Fete Scheduled C. A.

J.. April 4 (U.R) Bruno Richard Haupt-mann's Haupt-mann's last cry of "innocent' before he walked" to the electric elec-tric chair, recorded the Lindbergh Lind-bergh case today as the most controversial mystery of the century. Hauptmann died calmly, almost indifferently, with his thin lips sealed against the slightest hint of a confession. And with the deadly surge of electricity through his body, there died, too, perhaps the only chance that the world ever will know the factual story of the abduction and murder of the infant son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh Lind-bergh in the Sourland mountains four vears ago. Still Doubt Around the world went the flash that the state of New Jersey had closed its books on the multi-million dollar Lindbergh case at 8:47 o'clock last night in the electrocution electro-cution chamber of the gloomy old state prison. But there were millions mil-lions still convinced that Hauptmann Haupt-mann did not commit the crime alone. Hauptmann died on a stage set for a fantasy and in a fitting climax cli-max on a crime that piled sensation sensa-tion on sensation with such terrific ter-rific momentum that even half an hour before the execution it appeared ap-peared likely that the eternal "something" would yet save Hauptmann's life for at least another an-other day. But at last the legend of the (Continued on Page Five) BRUNO AFFIRMS HIS INNOCENCE TRENTQN, N. J., April 4 f.i: - Bruno Richard Hauptmann left this statement with his spiritual advisers, the Rev. R. G. Werner and the Rev. John Matthiesen, as his dying words: "I am glad that my life in a world that has not always understood under-stood me has ended. Soon I will be at home with my Lord and, as I love my Lord, so I am dying an innocent man. "Should, however, my death serve the purpose of abolishing capital punishment, such punishment punish-ment being derived (arrived) at only by circumstantial evidence, I feel that my death will not have been in vain. "I am appeased (at peace) with God. "I repeat that I protest my innocence in-nocence of the crime for which I was convicted. However, I dio with no malice or hatred in my heart. The love of Christ has filled fill-ed my soul and I am happy with him." His last message to his wifp whs that he would "no with hr frii spirit." Pilot Killed In Air Crash MONTEREY PARK, Cal., April 4. -i;.H - An army pilot was ki,-ed ki,-ed here today when a pursuit plane from March Field, Riverside, River-side, Cal., lost a wing in mid-air and crashed in a park. The Los Angeles cqroner's office of-fice said the dead flyer was identified iden-tified as Lieut. Browne Clement. Witnesses said the aviator took to his parachute when the wing dropped off. The parachute either failed to open, or the aviator failed to pull the release cord Witnesses said the chute started to open just as Clement struck the ground.
