ROOSEVELT PASSES ON COMMISSION ADVICE

Washington, Jan. 31. Among the chief recommendations of the Federal Aviation Commission, which President Roosevelt to- day passed on to Congress in his message to the Houses, was one for the establishment of a dirigible service to Hawaii from California, which would ultimately be extended to Manila.
Submitting the Federal Aviation Commission's report, President Roosevelt recommended a centralised transportation agency, to control all forms of transport, by land, Bes and air.
The agency should be built around the inter- departmental control committee, to control and corre late all transports, he believed.
The President said that while he was unable to concur with the Federal Aviation Commission's recommendation for a separate Air Commerce Commission, be- causo of the fact that all tran sportation enterprises were 00 closely linked and inter-dependent, he would later ask Congress for legialation centralising supervi slon of air, wator and highway transport.
The Federal Aviation Commis- alon's report contained
one hundred recommendations, in- cluding the establishment of trane-oceanic seaplane and diri- gible services--on-a-commercial- bable.
DIRICIBLES FOR LEASE President Roosevelt explained that the plan was that dirigibles which the United States Govern- ment would bulid, would later be leased to commercial com- panies, qualified to operate the craft. The dirigibles, he hoped, would

Flemington, Jan. 31. The alibi of Bruno Haupt- mann, charged with the murder of the Lindbergh baby, has been considerably strengthened by witnesses for the defence.
Before they spoke, however, Carlstrom, the carpenter who says he saw Hauptmann on the night of the kidnapping at the bakery in the Bronx where Mrs. Haupt- mann was employed, was cross- examined at great length. He
was subjected to a terrific barrage
of questions by the Attorney- | General of New Jersey, Mr. David
Willentz.
Mr. Willentz inferred that he would later prova that Carlstrom was really at home on the night of the kidnapping and could not pon- albiy have Been Hauptmann.
But Carlstrom is not the only one who claims to have scen Hauptmann in the Bronx on the night of the kidnapping. August von Henke Louis Kiss testified that he saw Hauptmann in the Bronx on that evening of tragedy.
A third witness, Lou Harding, testified that he saw two motorists with a ladder on the day of the kidnapping, who inquired of him the way to the Lindbergh home.
Neither of them was Haupt- mann, he declared.-United Press.

Wasrington, Jan. 81. Possibly a record for shortness in diplomatic con- versations was established to-day
when M. Troyanovsky, the Soviet Ambassador, visited the Stat Department to discuss with Mr. Cordell Hull the olde Russian debts to the United States.
These debts total about $500,000,000, but M. Troyanovsky remained with the Secretary of State for only four and a half minutes
Subsequently, Mr. Hull, after conferring with members of the State Department offices for an hour or more, announced: "In view of the present attitude of the Soviet, I feel we cannot encourage the hope that. any agreement is now possible.".
