U.S. SENATE BLOCKS ADHERENCE
MINORITY EFFECTUALLY DELAYS RATIFICATION
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphio Messages Ordinancs, 1994. Received Jan. 20, 8.10 a.m.)
Washington, Jan. 29. The Senate to-day failed to ratify the resolution which would have cleared the way for America's adherence to the World Court of International Justice at the Hague. The necessary two-thirds majority could not be secured. The voting was: for 52, against 86.
The defeat of the Administration's resolution was due to the same irreconcilable group, led by Senatore Johnson and Borah, which kept the United States out of the League of Nations in 1920.
It is reported that Senate leaders of the opposition camp received more than 75,000 telegrams from all parts of the United States urging the Senate to reject
the resolution.
In a desperate effort to obtain ratification of American adherence at the Hague, Administration landers in the Senate offered to accept Senator Johnson's reserva- tion, which provided for adherence with the understanding that "re- course to the Court of International Justice for the settlement of the differences between the United States and any other atate can be had only by agreement thereto through general or special treaties concluded between the parties of the dispute."

DENUNCIATION
¡By. Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Mesenges Ordinance, 1894. Received January 30, 7,85 mm)
Flemington, Jan. 29. Attorney-General Willentz of the State of New Jersey, leader of the prosecution in the trial of Bruno Hauptmann, charged with the murder and kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, continued his pitiless cross- examination to-day; but Hauptmann shouted denials to his accusations. When proceedings were adjourned yesterday, Hauptmann, on the witness stand, was weary and almost incoherent, and was obviously, suffering from the greatest strain.
To-day, refreshed, he admitted that he left his job on the day the $50,000 ransom was paid to the kid.. nappers, but because he knew that his pay was being cut. It was a mere coincidence, he argued.
