Sum Is $4,000 Less Than
Amount Expended in
Capital in June.
RENT FOR 5000 PERSONS
WILL AGAIN BE RESUMED
Virginia Will Receive $697 ,634,
While Maryland's Quota Is
Not Yet Figured.

A grant of s532,834 for relief pur-
poses in the District during July
was announced today by Harry l..
Hopkins, Federal relief administra-
tor, in a telegram to the District
. Commissioners. The amount is the
same as requested by Commissioner
George E. Allen as District relief ad-
ministrator
The sum expended in June for
direct and work relief projects, not
including special projects. totaled
s650,000, and the difference between
the grant for July and the expendi-
lures for June is to be made up by
relief appropriation approved by Con-
gress of 100000 for the new fiscal
year beginning Sunday. Thus the
Districts own funds are to be spread
throughout the year at the rate Of
$166, ,666 on a monthly basis.
$4,000 Less for July.
During July. however, the District
relief administration must get along
actually on $4,000 less than total
disbursements during June since that
amount of money left over from May
grants was available for use this
month.
Because of necessity of slashing the
costs of relief this month, payment
of rent for some 1000 persons on the
relief rolls had to be held up, the
sum totaling about 100000 Relief
officials said payment of such rents
could be resumed in July. but doubt
was expressed as to whether back rent
could BE- made available to landlords.
s4S3,334 for Direct Relief.
The Federal funds approved today
by Hopkins set aside S483,3 for op-
Grafton of direct relief and work re-
lief programs, $4,000 for transient
relief, $500 for provision of costs at
the tuberculosis camp being operated
this Summer on the grounds of the
District Health School, 81 200 for op-
Grafton of the nursery school training
centers and the adult education

dependent upon the District for relief.
Virginia will receive allotments of
s697,635 for July relief. of which
S467,365 will be for general relief pur-
poses.
Included in the total are S65. 900 for
transient relief, 100000 for rural re-
habilitation, $4,000 for cattle pur-
chase and s2635 to conduct a study
OF occupational cases on relief rolls.

he turned questions away with q smile and shrug and expressions of confidence that Hauptmann could
 be convicted if he was brought to trial in New Jersey.
 Fawcett, expressing disappoint- ment, said he would use every means of fighting extradition and if the appeal failed, might even carry the case to the United States supreme court. His attitude indi- cated that he had been forced to use virtually all the defence evi- dence in the hearing. Justice Hammers decision came last night after two days of testi mony in which Hauptnaann had de- pended chiefly upon his own em- phatic denials that he was in New Jersey on the date of the crimei l that he wrote the ransom notes; that he kidnaned the baby; that he killed the babyi that he had been seen near the Lindbergh home shortly before the Kidnapping and that he knew ''anything" about the crime.

Board of Registrations Work in Making New Voters

the effect that he was engaged in Investigating the legality of the boards atcion in admitting three elctors yesterday. Certain republi- can workers protested the admis- vion of three applicants for en- rollement yesterday afternoon on the grounds that their names were not on the printed Ito be made'' list but had been written in with pen and ink.
 The three persons were passed through. It was said in this mornr ing's report that Attorney J. War; FeH Upson and Town Chairman Paiombn were engaged In investi- gating the legality of the registra- ton boards action.
 "That is entirely untfue,' said Attorney Palomba today. Every thing Is proceeding to my satisfac- ton. It is clear that highly pos- sible that typographical errors were made, emitting some of the names of persons who had filed applications. It Is also possible that the registrars, in copying the names for submission to the printers, skipped 2 few of the ap- plications.
 No Writing-In.
 "There is no wholesale writing in of names going on. There may be ten or Q dozen names which were unintentionally skipped and were written in on the list later. However, this was not 2 wilful omission on hte part of the regis trars. It was, in my opiAion, an honest error. For instance, I my self had over 1,50e names of new voters deposited with the registrars five minutes before the end of the period for flliryt arrived. This task, combined with the one put on the registrars by the democrats with their applications, made it a big one to handle in a short length of time"

Jury M Salinardi
 Case Was Recessed
tcontinued from Page 1)

Attorney Fitzsimmons said he appreciated MT. Lewis compli-
 ments as to his ability but stated
 he could not quite understand MT, Lewis reference to him as a ''paid hireling." Every man standing be- fore the court has an opportunity under the law to choose whom he pleases to defend him, said MT. Fitzsimmons.
 He paid com pliment to the War terbury police department and
 County Detective Roland c, All ling, saying they were ranked in the first class. But he questioned why the bloody clothing of Spal- lone was not brought into evidence by the officials when they knew the case was so serious. He claimed Spaiione cleared his tracks by hav- ing the sweater cleaned, thinking,
 perhaps he might be arrested him
 self.
 He branded the story of Thomas Colasanto and Spallone as lies, stating there was very reasonable
 cause to doubt their testimony :.
 "What was Colasanto doing. in the role of peacemaker?" ?" asked
 MT. Fitzsimmofs. If he had
 minded his own business this whole thing would not have hap. pened. These men (Salinardi brothers) did not seek out Cola santo or Spallone. They were met
 accidentally on the street and
 brought to Layecohio's tavern. Col asanto wanted to look out for hie friend, Spallone, now that FraNk I Salinarli was out of jail and tfou- ble might arise. Colasanto, the Big shot, was financially able to stand behind any deal made between Spaiione and Frank Salinardi." Mir. Fitzsimmons attacked MT. Colasanto's story, as one of the states chief witnesses from begin ming to end. He ridiculed the idea of q man carrying gun to pur- chase chickens from g farmer in Cheshire, such as MT. Colasanto testified. He criticised MT. Cola sante for not using his fists to defend his friend spallpne, when the assault was taking place. MT. Fitzsimmons said the whole
 case hinged on whether a bottle was swung. He said two of the states chief witnesses, Spallone and Colasanto did not agree on
 who swung the object, if in fact, t were lIsed

Police were anxious to interview Geagari's wife, Angela, but she left home, they said, after receiv- ing a telephone inquiry, shorty after the hold-up, as to the where- abuilts of the Ford V-S registered in her name.
 The telephone call was made by the United Press. Mrs Geagan'a answer was:
 "The car is garaged some dis tance from the house. It was there | last night. | don't know whether 1t is there now, and I'm not tn-
