DR.. Kohn and DR.. Wilson aimed
to establish community life. He
said Frederic C. Howe, of the

els there any way in which
we can stop feeding them? If
we stop feeding them (the
people on relief rolIs) we would
make better progress"
Representative McGugin asked:

could get $1,OOO,OO0 to put stu
dents in colleges and they could
easily be injected with the idea
Of planned economy"

and Miss Kneeland were brain
trust satellites.
Representative Bulwinkle asked
DR.. Writ how much more con-
Versation there was.
Talk Lasts Three Hours
The conversation lasted three
hours. Writ replied. He thought
he had given all that was peril
nent, and said he would pass to
the second phase. He said:
II wanted to know what the
main purpose Of the Subsist-
ence homestead was.
CDR. Robert KOhn, . noted
architect, said that one purpose
was to make . richer life. He
indicated that one purpose was
to decentralize America told
him that that could be cOnsid-
cred q relief measure.
"Dr. KOhn and M. L. Wilson
(Dr. KOhn's assistant) said
the $25,OOO,OOO for subsistence
hOmesteads was probably for
some other purpose"
"WhO was present 1T this
No. 2 meeting?"
ut was at the same time.
DIR. KOhn, Of the Emergency
Housing Corporation, asked me
to consult with him.
IN WILSON'S OFFICE
"The first conversation was
in Mr.. Wilson's office. He is
head of the Subsistence Home
stead Agency. They would use
it to establish homeSteadS for
what they called the richer
life.'"
He referred to the projected |
homestead in West |
Virginia. DR.. Writ went on:
"They indicated that they
would probably manufacture
thingS-prObably for the Post Of
flee Department. The subsist-
ence homestead where Mrs.
Roosevelt sought to establish .
factory to manufacture articles
for the Post Office Department
is ut Reedsville, w. Va"
DR.. Writ said he argued that to
move people out of cities to home
Steads would lower rental values
in the cities and was not q recov-
cry measure. He said that the
factory at ReedSville would injure
factories in other cities.
