The judge was on the bench, A lawyer was saying southing, A couple of burly coppers were guarding the prisoner^ He was a sullen, blue-eyed man, rather nondescript, yfie was being arraigned on a charge of extortion, Thejtf' unexpectedly a message came, and the proceedings stopped then and there. The prisoner was Richard Hauptman, the central figure in the new break in the Lindbergh Case, the man of the Lindbergh ransom money. The only charge on which the lew fork authorities could hold him was one of ectortion. The interruption came fron Mew Jersey, "We want him. We want him on a charge of murder,M That was the flash from Mew Jersey, Governor Harry Moore had just signed a murder warrant for Richard Hauptman acting on the, advice of his State Police, the Gov ernor demands him as the kidnapper of Baby Lindbergh. So instead of being held for extortion, the prisoner is now being; kept waiting until the Mew Jersey Governor sends & formal request of extradition to Governor Lehman of rnrngnmiimimmmm.

The typhoon devastated a great industrial region where it could do the worst. mhe most amazing detail is the fact that the big wind blew two railroad trains off the track. It takes an in­ furiated blast of breeze to do that. But then that old wicked devil of the Oriental Ocean, the China Sea Typhoon, blows so hard that only our own Occidental hurricane of the West Indies can match it, blast for blast. It hit near the great city of Kobe. The wildest fury of the atom was concentrated on a village called Fukura. The typhoon blew the town down, blew the waters of the ocean piling onto the land. Five Hundred school children were at their desks when their classroom tumbled on them, maiming, kill­ ing. And a tidal wave sent flood waters rushing through the Japan so often devastated, devastated once again. streets. turkey Seems as if the Terrible Turk might be called the "timid Turk". Anyway, the Ottomans of Asia Minor are having a sky scare, afraid of enemies who might come out of the blue. The Government of the formidable Kemal Pasha is feverishly at work building a network of defenses against airplane attack. Nests of anti-aircraft guns are being established. Fortifications in strategic areas are being zealously concealed possible warfare from above.- The sky above Turkey has been zone^. foreign planes are permitted to fly only along certain limited air-routes. The important naval base at Izmit is being as carefully guarded as a forbidden seraglio of a sultan of old. Even Turkish planes are forbidden to fly over Izmit, and motor travel must keep away from the .vicinity. And the same thing is true of the great port of Smyrna, which is a forbidden clty^ scu,, far as observation from the air*is concerned. The question is — what air fleets are the Turks so afraid of? The nearest sky powers are Italy on one side and Russia on the other. But, modernistic new Turkey is supposed to have a close agreement with Soviet Russia. And we haven't been hearing TURKEY -2 of any points of dispute between Turkey and Italy.
