PARLEY PL A n 8
AID To TRADE

A mysterious conference was
held by President Roosevelt late
today with financial and diplo-
matte heads of the Treasury and
State departments.
The conference lasted more than
an hour, after which the partici-
pants left in an unusual hurry and
would answer no questions.
However, from the personnel of
the conference it was strongly
limited that the subject had to do
with extension of American trade
in foreign countries.
Those present at the conference
were Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau and DR.. Jacob Viner,
special Treasury assistant in
charge of foreign exchange; Stan
ley Hornbeck. chief of the State
Department division of Far East
ern affairs; Francis Sayre, Assist
ant Secretary of State in charge

The occasion was the Youth To-

sponsored by the nine organiza-
tions, and the boys and girls, rep
resenting youth employed, at study
and seeking jobs, ranging in
ages from Is to %, were testify
ing before a reviewing board as
to the wants of youth.
Facing Mrs. Roosevelt, 10 feet
away, they charged economic con.
ditions with robbing youth of its
rights, and the Government with
not aiding youth.
They declared marriage is un-
naturally delayed or rushed into
in desperation. Then they de-
manded the right to mate-and
provision of that right through
birth control.
When Mrs. Roosevelt questioned
them, they added unemployment
insurance to their demands. She
questioned them again, and they
added job assurance.

CONTENTION
Germans AIibi Also Attacked
As 18 Witnesses Are Called;
Defense Works on Case

NEW YORK, oct. 80 GN.s).
Evidence in possession of 18 wit
nesses was being collected by New
Jersey authorities today in an
effort to prove that Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann kidnapped the
Lindbergh baby without an &C.
complice.
Among the witnesses are sew
eral who will testify that the
German carpenter was not work
ing in the Majestic Apartments
on March |, 1882, when the child
was kidnapped.
This was disclosed by the New
Jersey Attorney General, David
T. Wilentz, and Prosecutor An
thony M. Haucx, jr., of Hunter
don county. Mr.. Wilentz said no
attempt would be made to show
that the kidnapping was anything
but a one-man job.
Defense Builds Case
Meanwhile, James M. Fawcett,
counsel for the defense, was
building up the evidence by which
he hopes to save his client from
the electric chair. He will con
tend that two days after the
body of the Lindbergh baby was
found, Isidor Fisch, furrier friend
of Hauptmann, applied for a
passport to Germany.
Among other facts about Mr..
Fisch which Mr.. Fawcett is as
sembling is this:
That Albert S. Osborn, official
prosecution handwriting expert,
has not been able to state that
Mr.. Fisch did not write the name,
]. ]. Faulkner, on the $4,000 gold
certificate deposit slip. This de-
posit, a package of ransom bills,
has not been traced to Haupt-
mann, and the writing appears
somewhat similar to Mr.. Fisch'S.
Sticks to Story
Hauptmann has held from the
day he was arrested that the
$4,000 ransom. money he had
in his garage was given him
among other articles Mr.. Fisch
wanted him to keep, and that
he spent some of the money be-
cause Mr.. Fisch was in debt to
him.
Defense counsel has investi;
gators trying to determine Mr..
Fisch's whereabouts on the night
of March /, 1882, when the kid
naping occurred.
Detectives in Hauptmann'S
employ also are trying to break
down testimony placing Haupt'
mann in New Jersey near the
time of the kidnapping. The testi-
mony of Millard Whited, who
said Hauptmann was near the
Lindbergh house in February,
1882, was refuted in an affidavit
obtained from his brother.
