velt today swung into the second

IVA experiment, of which Norris
dam is an integral part, was "a
new kind of war-a war to improve
the condition of millions and mil
lions of American citizens"
Observers looked on Mr.. Roose-
velt's enthusiasm for the project
as a reaffirmation of admins
traticn faith in the efficacy OF
long range planning projects which
have been recommended for other
sections of the nation.
The IVA is regarded as the
governments laboratory for the
fulfillment of the promise OF "a
more abundant life"
Mr.. Roosevelt stood on plat
form high above the unfinished
Norris dam that eventually will
make cheap electricity available
to thousands of consumers. He ask
ed questions briskly and frequent
ly commented on the progress of
the undertaking.
From Norris dam the presidential
party went to Knoxville and en-
trained for Nashville, via Chatta-
nooga.

included breakfast at the hermit
age home Of Andrew Jackson, and
brief visits to Fish and Vanderbilt
Universities, the state capitol and
the shrines of Presidents Polk and
Jackson.

legislation. The cabinet group,
headed by Francis Perkins, secre-
tary of labor previously had hoped
to submit its final report to the
White House by December Is.
The council was in virtual agree
ment however that the unemploy-
ment insurance phase of the sweep
ing reform program should be one
of state-federal cooperation as out
lined by the President. Under this
system a payroll tax would be
levied as a means of forcing in
duStry into acceptance of suit
able state plans for unemployment
benefits.
Under President Roosevelt's pro-
posal the collections from the pay
roll tax would be held as a reserve,
useable only for relief expendi-
lures, and not definitely assigned
for state reinsurance protection.

DENIES
ACQU|TTAL IN
insult TRIAL

/ CHICAGO. Nov. II. U.P)-Judge
James H. Wilkerson overruled to-
day an unexpected motion by Sam
uel insult and his son for directed
verdicts of acquittal in their trial
on sl43.000,0 900 mail fraud charges,
The judge likewise overruled mo-
tions for directed verdictS of ac-
quittal for four co-defendants,
/ Clarence T. MacNeille, Harold and
Charles Stuart and Frank K.
Schrader. He then adjourned
court until Monday.
The insults sought to avoid the
hazards of a jury verdict with con-
tentionS that allegations in the in
distmentS against them were not
supported by testimony or evidence.
Their attorney, Floyd E. Thomp-
son, specifically attacked the gov
eminent statement that circulars
offering for sale stock of Corpora
ton Securities company had prom
ised 6 per cent returns and mis-
represented assets Of the company.
The government has offered
not a scintilla of evidence to con-
firm either of these statements,
Thompson argued.
Wilkerson ruled, however, that
sufficient evidence had been pre-
sented to make its Interpretation
a matter for the jury, rather than
a question of law for the court to
decide.
Despite the reversal to the chief
defendants. attorneys for the re-
naming is men on trial began rep
resentation of similar motions.
