 Administration officials said the presidents ''fireside" talk to tho nation next month would outline q cold weather relief plan involving speedy action by congress to refill an almost empty federal pocket- book.
 MT Roosevelt is expected also to answer Senator William B. Borahs R., Ida, and other critics who charged that relief money was di- verted to political uses and wasted "shamefully" on persons capable of caring for themselves. <
 Need for speedy action on tho relief problem once congress as- sembles was seen when the REC reported it had already advanced to the EZRA $215, 100000 of tho $500, 100000 fund authorized last spring.
 Relief officials said that $80.000.-E 900 of the total was spent during October and the remainder would be spent this month.
 Borah, who had projected the relief question into the forefront Of debate, injected a new issue when he revealed that he might favor cash payment of the veter- ans bonus if a plan was devised to pay 1t as part of the relief proc gram.
 This suggestion has been cur>s rent since it became obvious that

 The plant, damage was estimat- ed at $175,000, small circular structure of brick and concrete To- cated in a remote part of the navy yard, was shattered by the blast, and fire ragged through the ruins immediately. Bremen quickly con- trolled the flames.
 The dead man, tentatively iden- tified as Daniel A. Dunlea, AZ, of Charlestown, was watchman at the navy yard. His body was found in the ruins of the plant.
 So severe was the blast that it was heard 10 miles away and win -dows of buildings nearly a mile away were shattered. Because of the scattered nature an immediate estimate of the extent of the dam age was. not available.
 Though there were many reports of persons being thrown from their beds. no injuries were recorded by police.

THIRTEEN TRAINS IN NORWALK JAM
Tug Jams Under Draw= bridge - 5000 Pas=
 sengers Stranded

.Norwalk, Conn, Nov 13-tU,P.) Thirteen crack trains of the New Haven system snorted impatiently for five hours at an open draw bridge over Norwalk harbor wait ing for the tide to come in early to-day so the bridge coud close and relieve one of the worts traf- fic jams in the history of the rail- road.
 The congestion was caused when the bridge lifted to permit the tug boat E. M. Willard, Bridgeport. towing two barges, to pass into Long Island Sound. The Willard swung against a piling and became stuck in the mud.
 Road officials pressed busses, taxicabs and private cars into serv- ice and rerouted several of the trains over the Danbury division. It was estimated 500 passengers were stalled. Only about 50 could crowd into East Norwalk station to keep warm. A mother and baby were given a place near the sta tion stove.
 A score or more of immigrants from Europe, still wearing their colorful native dress and unable to comprehend the situation, huddled outside the station. Unable to speak English they found difficulty in getting information as to the trouble. with the others they were served hot coffee.
 Meanwhile officials literally waited on the bridge at midnight for the tide to come in. It did, at 12:15 a. m., the bridge dropped into place and it was several more hours before operations were nor- nal and the jam had been cleared

Private Lending Agencies Thought Capable of As

Washington, November 1a - (UP) = The board of dl- rectors of the Home Owners Loan Corporation today voted to stop accepting applications for loans until further notices
 In a statement issued after the meeting, the board ex- plained that applications now in the hands of the corpora- tion are "far in excess" of the present resources of the orr ganization.
 Disbursed Two Billions
 "The corporation has already dispursed approximately $2,0O0s< O00,00O, to refinance mortgages on 650.0OO homes." the statement said.

 "A large part of these app1ica- tiOnS are well auVauCeu III A1@ process of examination and ap- proval, and will probably be coln~ pleted and the loans closed by February or March, next. The new applications now being filed could not be reached for many months in view of the accumulation of ap~ plications previously filed.

MOTHERS STORY TOCOURT HOLDS
 OFF JUDGMENT
Claims Son, Accused of Highway Robbery, Was
 Home at Time

A mothers dramatic testimony, interrupting city court this morn ing, saved. at least temporarily, Timothy Hanley, 26, of 318 Baldwin street, from being bound over to superior court on charge of high way robbery. After the mother had testified that her son had been at home with her last Wednesday night at the time when Michael Ambrozey of IS Lafayette street was being held up and robbed of $5 and a handbook on Washing ton avenue by four men, Judge Edward Mascolo deferred judgment till tomorrow morning, ordering Hanley held under bond of 5000. The state had just completed it's testimony, and Judge Mascolo had told Hanley that he would advise him not tosgsay anything in hts own defense since he had enough evidence at hand to bind him over to superior court, when the moth- CT, Julia Hanley, rushed up from the rear of the courtroom to shout that her boy was innocent. T swear he was home, judge, she cried, and Judge Mascolo allowed her to take the stand.
 Mrs Haniey testified that Tim othy had been home all day We'd nesday and did not leave. the house till Thursday. She insisted that he was playing cards at S:30, the time at which Ambrozey was robbed. With the judges permission, two other defense witnesses, Thomas Hanley, brother of the accused, and John Gale, friend, went on the stand to testify that a card game was going on Wednesday night at Hanley's home and that Timothy had not left the house.
 Judge Mascolo questioned the three defense witnesses himself and drew from Gale the admission that he did not know what kind of card game was being played.
 Mike Ambrozey, the holdup vic tim, related that he had been walking along Washington avenue last Wednesday night, when four men set upon him. One held his hands, he said, another covered his nose and mouth, while a third rifled his pockets of $5 and a handbook. The man who rifled his pockets, he said, was Hanley. He was positive in his indentifica- tion.
 Detective John Calvin testified that Ambrozey had picked out Hanley at police headquarters as one of the men who had held him up. He said Hanley was arrested in an abandoned house on Railroad Hill street Friday afternoon, and charged with intoxication, with the robbery charge made yesterday.
 When Judge Mascolo asked for the accused's record while setting the bond figure, he was told by Prosecutor Mitchell Myers that Hanley had been under arrest 36 times since 1923 on varying charges. He then set the bond fig ure at $1000.

 Factories for Idle

Washington, Nov. l3 = (UP) = Direct action to investigate charges of wasteful relief expenditures was taken today as relief official. scoffed reports that the govern. ment was planning gigantic sys. tenn of government shops and fac tories to absorb the unemployed.
 A plan of this kind has been worked out but is not to be put into operation in the immediate future. }
 "Boo!" said Relief Administra- tor Harry Hopkins when asked about the reports as he emerged from conference with President Roosevelt.
 "The boys are exploring every thing, but you can say there's no action on that.
 The action toward a relief inves- tigation came in conference be- tween Senator William E. Borah republican, Idaho, and Dallas WI Dort, chief investigator for the EZRA.
 comm enllnS OIl SOiIlC iCPoi SS' that the shop plan would put 12,- 0O0,OOO men to work. Jacob Baker, assistant relief director, said:
 "Such plan is ridiculous. In the first place the unemployed couldn't use all the goods manu- factured by so many people and in the second place there are not enough facilities outside going concerns for such project"
 Borah, who charges that relief funds are being administered wastefuily, said:
 q don't think there will be any difficulty between MT Dort and MT Hopkins and myself about the mat ter. We discussed my views on waste and the date in my posses sion, and on the basis of those things I have outlined my position on the matter and what think out to be done."
 Dort said he would confer with Hopkins before any statement on the course of procedure to be fol lowed.
 The relief question had still an other development when Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins sald that the advisory council on eco homie security, meeting here to-

NORTH CAROLINA
 TOBACCO REGION
 CETSPROSPEROUS
Farmers Receive Highest Prices in Years-Watch
 Land Being Sold
BY MINIS THOMSON 1934 By United Press)

Raleigh, N. C., Nov 13-(U.P) Tobacco planters of North Car olina are enjoying the greatest prosperity known since the year after the World War.
 In recent weks more than ESQ., 00O,000 has gone into farmers pockets in exchange for this year production of leaf tobacco, and be- fore the year is over approximate ly $72,00O,000 will have been paid North Carolina tobacco planters.
 A United Press survey of the 39 tobacco markets in the state shows tht through October l, 1894. '206,- 41O,996 pounds of tobacco had been sold at an average price Of S27.O2 per hundred pounds.
 That means that through that date $55,772,000 had been paid to planters. Since then the price has been holding up and at least $4,- 5OO,000 has been paid by tobacco manufacturers for leaf bought on warehouse floors.
 With higher prices and a re- duced crop it is estimated that the planters income is increased 50 per cent over that of last year and it is nearly five times that of the 1931-32 season.
 Banks in all the 39 tobacco mar ket towns remain open until dark as planters line up to get their money.
 At Wilson, N. C., the worlds largest tobacco market, bankers say that less than two per cent of the money paid out is being rede- posted.
 Recently an auctioneer stood on the steps on the little courthouse at Wilson, chanted for a few min- utes and then retired.
 He had sold 1887 pieces of farm properties for non-payment or 1893 taxes.
 Lining the curb around the courthouse square were now auto mobiles-bought by tobacco plant CTS who had stood in the crowd around the auctioneer's platform and watched their farms sold out for back taxes.
