From Orphanages, Hospitals The fortunate 4.000 are from a group of orphan homes and hospitals in Brooklyn. In "Kid Millions," a story written in part by Nunnally Johnson, former Brooklyn newspaper man, they will view the adventures of two people who, both in real life and reel life, have been almost as underprivileged as themselves. Eddie Twenty boys and girls who have done outstanding work In the Junior Eagle clubs have been selected to act as hosts on Saturday, when 4.000 lucky youngsters will be entertained, under auspices of the Junior Eagle's Friendship Legion. Aunt Jean, who directs the Junior Eagle activities, revealed the appointment of the 20 hosts today and said they had all been Invited to come to The Eagle Building Thursday afternoon and help pack a van-load or so of candy into individual boxes in preparation for the party. The candy will be distributed at surrender of papers being held by James Mark Fawcett and supposedly bearing on the defense of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, awaiting a New Jersey trial in connection with the slaying of the Lindbergh baby, went glimmering for the time being at least, in Justice Adel's part of Supreme Court late yesterday.

Fish will be under Indictment for first degree murder In connection with the slaying and butchering of Grace Budd six years 50 by tomorrow afternoon. It was definitely indicated today. According to District Attorney Frank H. Coyne of Westchester County, who will go before the Grand Jury in White Plains to ask the indictment, the evidence against the self-confessed murderer Is now virtually all in and he is confident that he can establish the required corpus delicti in the case. Summoned to Testify Among those who have been sub-penaed to appear before the Grand Jury tomorrow are Detective William King, who nailed the house painter; Dr.

Amos O. Squire, Westchester Medical Examiner; Capt. John Stein, head or the Missing Persons Bureau here; Lt. Hugh Sheridan, Sgt. Thomas J.

Hammill, the stenographers who took Fish's confession, and the police photographers who have a complete picture record of the skeleton remains unearthed at the scene of the slaying.

The freighter ran into distress 300 miles off the Irish coast, in the same general vicinity in which the British freighter Usworth was abandoned after 17 men were lost during the rescue of her crew, and in which the Japanese freighter Victoria Maru took a terrific beating from the elements.

Meisels then raised the technical point that Justice Adel had no Jurisdiction because the petition for the papers is based only on an affidavit by Reilly. Reilly Protests Justice Adel said he was compelled to sustain that objection, should take advantage of a technicality and refuse to turn over papers that vitally affect the liberty and perhaps the life of a man he formerly represented as attorney.

Mrs. Hauptmann, who seems to have lost considerable weight since the spectacular arrest of her husband and the dismantling of her Bronx home, declined to make any comment.
