 New York, Sept 22.-(UP)-Ap- parently convinced that no amount of questioning would cause Bruno Richard Hauptmann, stolid Ger man carpenter, to confess the kid naping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, authorities centered every effort today on building an air-tight circumstantial case to send him to the electric chair,
 New Jersey withheld it's formal request for extradition pending completion of an air-tight case. which authorities thought would be ready by Monday or Tuesday. John Doe indictments charging murder and Kidnapping pending in Hunterdon and Mercer counties, New Jersey. The procedure will be to substitute Hauptmann's name for John Doe. Authorities confi- dently believed Hauptmann would be turned over to New Jersey au- thorities by New York police by the middle of next week.

President Threw Influence Into the Battle eLead-

Washington, Sept. 22 = (UP) = Peace by Monday dNl the textile strike front appeared certain to- day if mill owners agree to the settlement plan of President Roosevelt's inquiry board.
 The executive committee of the United Textile Workers which has directed the New Deals most ser- ious industrial conflict were ex- pected to vote today to end the strike. The one condition probably will be acceptance of the peace plan by the industry.
 How much of an obstacle that condition will prove should be revealed today. A last minute furry caused some worry. State ment by President George A. Sloan of the Cotton Textile Insti- tute on the peace plan drew angry protest from Strike Leader Francis J. German.
 The flareup came just after in- timations by the union of complete willingness to follow President Roosevelt's plea for acceptance of the plan set forth by the board headed by Gov. oJhn G. Winant.
 Sloan failed to accept the plan, merely saying that the industry would give it "serious considera- tion" and that he was "recom- mending the closed mills open as soon as possible"
 He failed to pledge reemploy- ment of strikers without discrimin- ation as had been requested.

 Tonight

Complete withdrawal of national guard troops from the Connecticut textile strike areas appeared prob able today.
 During the past week eight com panies have been demobilized, leaving only one unit at Putnam. This force was shifted to North Grosvenordale late yesterday when a minor disturbance arose at the Grosvernordale company. A stone broke a window in the mill. Work CTS were not molested when they left for the day.
 A superior court injunction re- strained textile locals from picket ing two mills of the Aspinook company at Jewett City. The appli- cation charged demonstrations halted plans to reopen the mills The action was directed against local union officers and J. Nicholas Danz, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and asked $5,000 damages.
 Members of the general strike committee were to meet Sunday at Norwich to discuss announced intentions of several small mill operators to reopen Monday.

 Kamenz, Saxony, Sept 22.-(UP) "A gray haired, wrinkled-faced little woman of around 10. years sat in the kitchen-1iving room of her home today and insisted that her son, Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, could not have Kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.
 Tt is not possible" she said, sebbing. T cannot believe it. He has baby of his own. I know he would not have done it."
 She confessed that her son was scapegrace, that he had been sentenced to prison here for rob- bery. But that was just after the war, she insisted, when robbery was common and everyone was desperate.
 "Just recently Mrs Haupt- mann said, q got him released from the second robbery charge against him. He wrote me he not. do not know why. I waited and waited. Then he wrote that he had found work and had a chance to save enough to make a start here. After that I heard from him only once, and he did not come"

New York, Sept 22-(U.P.)-A theory that a confederate - pos sibly a woman-aided Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann in abduction of the Lindbergh baby gained strength in police circles to-day.
 The search for a confederate was an integral part of the cam paign of police and federal investi- gators to build up an air-tight cir cumstantial case against Haupt- mann, who has stolidly resisted ef- forts to obtain confession from him.

Data gathered in Maryland will be
sent to Washington to be assembled
with similar reports from 300 counties

14,2OO Italian Settlers
Take Up Reclaimed Land

Littoria, Italy.-Trainload of peas
ants arrive here every month and thou
sands of these hardy farmhands start
life afresh in this city, which was
once the center of the now reclaimed
Pontine marshes. Here, at least, there
is no depression.
These rugged folk come from the
most varied points of the peninsula
and their one wish is to till the soil.
The vast exnanses of the reclaimed
Pontine marshes today make their life
dream come true.
Veteran farmers stand at attention
and mechanically click their heels to-
gether before urtering a monosyllable.
A good many lately have been coming
from the Friuii region. Property is so
subdivided and scarce there and SO
thickly populated that lots destined
for farm-sharing often measure less
than a hectare. Hence they become
wanderers in search of work, almost
gypsy-farmers. The Pontine expert
ment is curing the disease. Men are
falling in love again with their soil,
their pillow and oxen.
