his assistants, who described two small
farm relief projects in West Virginia

The West Virginia project involves
the transfer to small farms Of about
$50 families Of miners who have been
out OF work for many years and who
are now on relief.
In Arkansas, the President said per-
sons now on relief were being put on
small farms costing approximately
$500.
Slum clearance and development Of
suburban settlements were described
by the President as important develop
mentS IN his program for two reasons:
To get rid of relief and give people
chance to start life anew.
u. s. Role Outlined.
Asked II the Government would con-
tribute to unemployment insurance, for
which legislation Is now being worked
out by Mr.. Roosevelt's Economic Sc
curity Committee. the President said
the committee was studying various
plans. one Of which called for the Gov
eminent to pay the cost Of running
the insurance plan.
The President added, however. he
had no idea what the committee,s
recommendations would be.

piled In the Tennessee River Valley

His plea against extradition rejected

lished beyond . reasonable doubt that
he was not In the State Of New Jersey

After the decision was announced

II the final barrier to his extradi-

calmly and deliberately, that he had

kidnapped.

( Earlier In the day Albert s. Os-

Hauptmann's confession that he was
IN New Jersey and that he TOOK the

Called to the stand by his counsel
and given the ransom notes, Haupt-
mann for nine minutes scrutinized
the collection and then said.

the first time ever saw them"
Hauptmann denied also that he
was In New Jersey during the first
tour months of 1892. This. was in
denial of testimony of Millard Whited,
New Jersey farmer, who identified
Hauptmann rs the stranger" he saw
near the Hopewell home Of Col. Lind
bergh on two occasions during the
two weeks preceding the kidnapping.
: After Whited testified, the defense
summoned three residents. Of Hope
