The $880,000,000 in the works meas ure is to taper off the dole for the relief, Despite Administration concern, Senators said today after Consideration of the bill by its appropriations committee that the bill probably! would not be reported to the Senate until next week. They added that at least a week of debate and probablv more was in sight on the lloor. "We are really out of money," Morton M. Milford, special representative of the Relief Administration, said today. He added that some States had some "carry-over funds" but these could not be stretched far.

"With so many poor people dependent upon relief in the prevailing severe weather," Milford said, "we hope Congress will act before existing funds are exhausled." This expression followed a statement by Senator Glass, Dem, of Virginia, that he did not know when the Appropriations Committee would report the measure. Concern developed also at the White House after it became known that Glass, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, resented not OPPONENTS IN LEGAL TILT AT FLEMINGTON Atty Gen David T.

"With great respect, "Richard Hauptmann, "1279 East 222d st. New York." The Second Letter The second letter read: "New York. 8 July, 1934. "Dear Mr Fisch: "I herewith acknowledge with thanks to you the receipt of your esteemed letter of June 3rd '34. "I will immediately start with the answer to your questions.

Henry Uhlig knew about our relations in part. The authorization from you which you gave to Mr Uhlig I have seen, but it is of no use. Even the business people give you no information about them, even if you present this authorization. Mr Uhlig told me that he could accomplir.b as good as nothing. We have gone to the firms mentioned by you, but have found nothing.

"I was also at the Stevensen's Refrigerating Company Number 521 10th Street. Isador had skins lying here in 1933. There were to the best of my knowledge the cat skins. Isidor sold these skins to a firm which announced its bankruptcy, so no hope is present of securing the amount. "In regard to Mrs Hille.

Things are as I wrote you in my first letter. Isador has not paid back the main sum. Further informed you that Isador loaned a friend $2000. I do not know the name. He only told me it is for a delicatessen business.

You wrote me that it was Mr Faleke. "Now I have gone to see this gentleman and he told me that he had loaned Isidor $800. He showed me also the receipt for it. Now I do not know if that is one and the same person or is it still somebody else. Only his safety deposit box can give information about it.

"Also in regard to the bakery firm, as I have already informed you, there is no bakery firm of the name Knickerbocker Pie Corporation. "In regard to the safe deposit box affairs I can do nothing at all here, for no bank gives information to a stranger whether the person concerned has a safe deposit box at all. You wrote me also that you have had the safe deposit box locked. "Would you tell me in what bank the safe deposit box is? "In regard to the building lot, Isadcr told me that he sold same a rather long time ago. Mr Uhlig had been at the Jewish Chrzan-ober Association.

He told me that the head would write to me or to your father personally. I assume that this has happened in the meantime. Since you, dear Mr Fisch, intend to come here, which I also consider the right thing to do, to put everything in order, I will leave the iwo trunks stay here for there are things in them which are not worth the sending. "In my last letter I quite forgot to confirm the receipt of the leather traveling bag and the guitar. Everything has arrived here in the best condition.

My best thanks for everything. With regard to the fourth item in the listed skins, it should read 300 nutria at 10, 3000. "Very respectfully, Richard Hauptmann, 1279 East 22d st, New York."

PROMISED FUNDS SOUGHT BY CURLEY Nearly $6,000,000 Federal Grant Due Bay State Gov Curley will consult Federal officials during his visit to Washington this week concerning payments of United States funds to Massachusetts, a matter in which he says this State was neglected up to the start of this year. The Governor has also requested State Treas Charles F.

Hurley to assign a legal assistant to Washington to confer with United States authorities in following up his drive to obtain Federal money for Massachusetts projects. The Federal Government is already committed to a grant of $6,000,000 to the Commonwealth, the Governor says, but paid out only $4500 of that sum up to the first of this year, when Gov Curley took office. "I believe it advisable to send somebody down to Washington to ex pedite the payments to Massachu setts," the Governor said. Gov Curley will leave Boston on the midnight train tonight for New York, and thence to Washington, to attend the White House dinner as a guest of the President.

I icy i Ma it FROM NEW YORK Olympic frbt Olympic XI u. "iXZ'ffiMwft: Man. there are still 400 Hudson seal on hand from an old lot which is also a case of half and half.

Isidor asked whether I would take $2000 out of my business for this trip; if not, he would sell some of the skins. But we agreed that it is best to leave the skins lying in case of an inflation. Also we hoped we would get more when he came back again. "So on the 14th of November '33, I took $2000 out of my stocks and bonds account and gave it to Isidor. Some he had changed into traveler's checks; how much I don't know.

I told him that he should not change all, for the dollar is still safe enough. Our business standing is accordingly as follows: My part here in it in full 517,500. Isidor could not put in completely in full since he had invested money somewhere else, which I will explain below. The account in stocks and bonds $10,000. Isidor half, Richard half.

Account in skins Isidor half, Richard half. 'I get from Isidor half of the skins 7500, then tnere is also the lot of 400 Hudson seal on hand which goes half and half. The value of my stocks and bonds is different every day, now 11,000 S12.000. The value of the skins has also risen somewhat. "Furthermore Isidor owes a woman by the name of Mrs Hille $3750 from the year 1932.

I have now been at the house of this woman and have found it correct. "Then Isidor loaned a friend $2000 for a delicatessen business. Isidor probably has the documents in his bank. Furthermore, he said tq me that he was one ol the founders of a bakery. There he told me he had $10,000 invested.

"Now in recent days I have gone about in order to obtain information, but could learn only that this same bakery has announced its bankruptcy two years ago but I cannot believe it for Isidor said shortly before he went away that everything there was in order. In this affair there is something obscure. I believe personally that this bakery now has another name, for Isidor carried on this business under other names perhaps on account of taxes. In regard to this his papers in his safe deposit box would give detailed information. "Now, dear Mr Fisch, I would like to ask you to write to me some details, for I assume that Isidor probably had some important papers with him.

Would you please send me usual copies in regard to all the affairs which can give complete information in regard to his activities, such as bills? Perhaps he had with him the storage receipts in regard to the skins and where his safe deposit box is. I don't know in what storage house he left the skins. It is all in his name. "I would like to have everything looked up, also his safe deposit box. If I could obtain access to the skins, I could sell some or send to you if you wished it.

I hope that the skins are not going bad. Since we intended to write everything in both the names only after his trip to Germany, I have no access to all the things without your authorization. "Dear Mr Fisch. How do you plan new to regulate everything? I take the liberty of making you now the following proposition. If you will come here yourself and regulate everything, it would, to be sure, take a great deal of your time to put everything in order, for the opening of the safe deposit box can take place only with the authority of the court, but the value of the things would certainly make it pay.

"Or if you engage an attorney, who is to regulate everything, I would certainly advise against your taking this step, for you probably know how people work in such cases and especially in America. In the end there would be nothing left and this would be a blow for his dear survivors and also for me. "Another way is the following: If you will accord me the same confidence as your deceased brother, then I would regulate the whole affair. If I am to take it over, send me, please, all authority. "Go.

please to the American Consul-ate, for Isidor was an American citizen. There you will probably learn everything that is necessary in regard to papers. This way Mr Fisch would probably be the best and surest, for I too am indeed very much interested in it financially." "I still have two trunks belonging to Isidor in my apartment. There are no important things in them, but if you should be interested I will send the same to Germany. There are photographs, linens and other small things in them.

Otherwise I will bring all of them with me to Germany for I plan to go over there next year with my family. "To speak of confidence, I will tell you that your dear brother was my best friend, and his memory shall always remain sacred to me. "Awaiting upon your esteemed and kind reply, I send my greetings to you as well as to your dear relatives. "Richard Hauptmann, "1279 East 222d st. New York.

S. Isidores sickness probably arose five years ago. He was at that time In Rockfort and there he probably took a bath in too cold weather and got a cold which never left him in spite of FLEMIXGTON, J. Jan 23 During the afternoon session cf the court, the of Bruno Richard was interrupted for a time, the State presented letters Hauptir.ann to the family of the dead Isidor Fisch. The letters were introduced in an attempt to Hast away Hauptmann's claims that Fisch gave him incriminating One cf these letters was accepter in evidence after Hauptman admitted it was in his handwriting.

The letter was German. Defense attorneys objected strenuously on the ground the letter was merely a cop and that portions cf it had been underscored with red penciL A translator was railed to substitute Hauptmann on stand to read the letter. Tells of Meeting Fisch The first letter accepted in evidence read: Mav 4. 1934. -Dear Mr Pincus) Fisch: A week aso 1 received your sad information concerning the d'-ath cf vour dear brother and best friend.

Please pardon the delay in my reply. It was, however not possible for me to realize that I shall not see Isidor again. He was my best friend just as I was his. He will always remain in my memory for he was the only man with whem I could talk about everything, of private matters or business matters. I made the acquaintance of Iidor in 1932.

We often met in the house of a family we know who lived in the same house where he lived. We have spent very pleasant hours there. In the Summer we usually went bathing and sailing, I think he probably told you of those pleasant hours for they are rich memory. "At the same time my work was the same as even now, dealing in stocks and bonds. My calling in Germany was that of a machinist.

Here, however, in order to get on one must undertake something or other where more money is to be made. In the Spring of 1933 1 undertook a small tiansaction for Isidor in which I was certain that he could only win. and it so happened, too. In this way we gradually came to talk more and more about business matters. Tells of Giving Him Funds gave him several times rr.or.ev for the purchase of skins ir.d he also gave me the same trm for my dealings in stocks r.d bonds.

We shared the gain or if we had lost. All these business matters brought us to the decision to go into business together, for we found here a way where we could build up cur future, for according to his reckoning he told me he can earn 20 to 30 percent per year on the capital laid out. "At the same time in my there are very great I can lose' almost but I can also win a if I speculate successfully. "So we decided to work together. ach in his branch and on a mutual basis of half and half in profit or loss.

We also agreed trat if cne should sometime need ir.ore than the half of the capital laid cut tr.e other should take from his business what is necessary. in the of Iidor, it came on only when he sk.r.s. We intended to earry this on in this way until Isidor came back from Germany. Then we were to open a banking account and carry en all deposits in both names. -On the first cf November.

1933. we decided to begin our business with each a half. After we had reckoned up everything, the value cf my stocks and bonds at the time on the first of November. 1933. was $12,000.

Isidor's poise'sion in skins is as follows: IM silver fox. 511.000; 1000 musk-rats. 51500; 2500 musk rats, $2500; 300 Mildren 'M-I-L-D-R-E-N" $-1330. A-C-T Big. Opossum, i39'0.

Total 521.900. 'For these skins I gave him 15500 from my private bank so my half was in full in the business $17,500.

Hauptmann leaned forward, his face flushed, and explained the relation did not develop until November, 1933. Tells of Fisch's Request Wilentz pointed to the alleged mutual business arrangement' before Nov 1, 1933, and Hauptmann said: "I don't tell everything." Q. Did you put anything in the letter that he gave you A. It wasn't necessary. Q.

Did you put anything in the letter how he lost the A. It wasn't necessary. Wilentz then drew from Hauptmann the story of how Fisch came to him before he sailed for Germany and said he had no money and needed $2000 for the trip. Hauptmann said Fisch suggested he sell some furs to raise the money, but added he advised against that. He took $2000 from his brokerage account and gave it to Fisch.

CONCERT SINGER SUES TO DIVORCE ALBERINI Former Martha Atwood Files Libel on Cape Special Dispatch to the Globe BARNSTABLE, Jan 29 Mrs Martha Atwood Alberini of Wellfleet, former Metropolitan Opera singer and well-known concert and radio singer, filed suit for divorce here today from Alessandro Alberini, her husband and accompanist. Mrs Alberini's libel charged alleged cruel and abusive treatment on Aug 1, 1932, and other times between that date and Nov 10.

934. The. couple was married in New York, Feb 28, 1928. A Wellfleet native and daughter of Capt Simeon Atwood, prominent Wellfleet and Boston oyster dealer, Mrs Alberini studied in Italy for four years and made her Metropolitan debut in 1927. After her marriage to Alberini, he acted as her accompanist on the concert stage and in radio engagements.

FLIERS DROP FOOD TO MAROONED GROUP LAKEHURST, Jan 29 (A. The family of Bingham Myer, farmer, today sat down in their snowbound home to their first real I meal since Saturday and gave thanks A TIT a 1 1 i i I iu ixavy iiyers wiiu earner in me day had dropped into their dooryard enough food to last two weeks. A torpedo bombing plane, piloted by W. S. Wiley of the Naval Air Station here, fought a snow-storm, flying perilously low over the wooded wastes, to spot the farm house.

In the past several days men, trucks and horses had made repeated attempts to reach the marooned farmer, his wife, and two young children. Commander Charles Rosendahl of the air station ordered a plane to attempt to locate the Myers home and to drop eatables from the air. Loaded with two heavy bags of canned goods, bread and other; necessities oi uie, tne Domoing plane took off from an ice-coated runway, and immediately encountered difficult flying conditions. "We flew low over the place," Wiley said, "and dropped the two bags of food with the aid of parachutes. The bags dropped within 150 feet of the door of the house.

A man was waiting outside and we stayed around until we saw him pick up one of the bags and drag it into the Hauptmann Continued from Preceding Page terday destroyed his own credibility far more than' anyone else could do it for him. It remains simply an interesting point of conflicting evidence. That about the stock accounts and a lot I more than Hauptmann has been telling today amounts to. Most of the I day has been ent on the money matters. i Lindbergh Needs Haircut Hauptmann sits studying an account book while Wilentz stands beside him, their heads often on the same line and only a foot apart.

Wilentz taps a long yellow pencil at the items in the accounts and Hauptman takes long looks and gives fumbling answers. It looks more like a junior clerk being catechized about a shortage in his books than anything connected with the murder of the child, who was stolen from his crib that night now nearly three years ago. "You know my books better as I do, I guess," Hauptmann says to the prosecutor at one point, in one of his rare attempts at a sarcastic retort. "WJ11 you show me anything in your book about Fisch putting up asks Wilentz. "You wouldn't find it in this book," Hauptmann says.

"This is only a matter of bookkeeping," Hauptmann explains some of bis items. Wilentz seems to consider it weird bookkeeping. But Hauptmann's remark would describe a large part of his cross-examination today. It must seem quite remote to Col Lindbergh, who sits facing Hauptmann all through this long examination. Lindbergh has given his attention so absorbedly to this case that he has not taken time for a haircut since it started.

His hair now rurls around his ears and runs down to his collar. When the rubicund Rtilly gets up to reexamine his client, their faces present a shocking contrast. Reilly's is full of the red of good living. Hauptmann's seems an unearthly color, a waxen white. While he waits for the exhibits to be passed around the jury box, his face is so like a mask it seems hardly human.

He can hold it without moving a muscle and without a trace of expression as he waits. His eyes are like burnt-out coals that have sunk deep into his head. The unblinking stare he had as a spectator has been changed for rapid-fire blinking before the questions that face him as a witness. One wonders what he is waiting for, what he is, thinking, whether he long ago prepared a mask to carry him through to the end. or whether this blank mask is Hauptmann and all there ever was of Hauptmann all, anyway, since he left his boy's games for war and left war for unemployment and crime and prison and stowing away to America.

REVIVAL Goes to Senate for Quick Action Tomorrow WASHINGTON. Jan 29 (A. Working against time, the House tonight passed the Administration's bill to give the Reconstruction Finance Corporation two years more of existence. The bill now goes back to the Senate for action on House amendments. The R.

F. C. will die Thursday unless the legislation is pushed through to final enactment and the President has signed it before then. The measure would give R. F.

C. more liberality in making loans to private industry. The life of the agency would be extended to Feb 1, 1937. The liberalization was effected by changing the present requirement of "adequate security" for loans to industry so as to call merely for reasonable assurance of repayment. The Senate Banking Committee bestowed its benediction on a bill to liberalize and expand lending authority of the Farm Credit Administration, and the Finance Committee approved the bill to authorize the Treasury to issue another $9,000,000,000 in bonds, including "baby bonds" that may be purchased by the small investor.

FARNUM ASSAILED BY FIN COM CHAIRMAN Counsel Denies He Gave Out Client's Secrets George R. Farnum, former assistant United States Attorney General, whose resignation as special counsel of the Boston Finance Commission, became effective yesterday, was charged last night by E. Mark Sullivan, chairman of the Finance Com mission, with hfint "euiltv nf thp un professional conduct of betraying the secret information of his clients.

Mr Sullivan's statement was made in reference to the publication of information regarding one of the land takings for the North End Prado with funds of the White Fund. Mr Farnum denied he had ever revealed any of the findings in his report. He again challenged Chairman Sullivan to make public the report, as submitted by Mr Farnum recently. The property in question was conveyed by Albion B. Turner of Scitu-ate to Miss Madeline Bresnahan of Stoughton for $71,725, June 29, 1933.

On the same day, it was conveyed by Miss Bresnahan to the city for $83,050, an increase of $11,325. Miss Bresnahan is employed in a law office at 43 Tremont st, where the firm of Santosuosso, Kalesky and Cohen is also situated. Sullivan's Statement Chairman Sullivan said last night: "It is apparent to me that Mr Farnum is guilty of the unprofessional conduct of betraying the secret information of his clients acquired by him in the course of and by reason of his employment as their attorney. "Mr Farnum's report is only one of a great many reports now before the commission received from other investigators employed by the commission. All these reports, in due time, will be carefully reviewed by the commission and where the commission deems a report should be made to the Mayor or the City Council, the commisison will write its own report, for which it will be responsible.

"It is apparent from reading the story that Mr Farnum's report is limited to two purchases by the trustees of the White Fund. If so, the report is obviously incomplete. These trustees bought 16 to 17 other parcels of land for the Prado layout. The story as published, if Mr Farnum is in any way responsible for its publication, is only a reflection upon the good judgment of the distinguished gentlemen who were trustees of the White Fund. "These gentlemen, in addition to the Mayor of Boston (then James M.

City Auditor Rupert S. Carven, and the president of the City Council (then John F. Dowd), are Kooert u. uoage, president or tne Boston Bar Association, and Eliot Wadsworth, president of the Chamber of Commerce. "If the commission decides to make an official report on the Prado it will take religious care to do no injustice to the sound business judgment and public honesty of these five gentlemen of the trustees." Mr Farnum said he had turned over all his papers to the commission yesterday and added: "The matter now rests with the Finance Commission," He said his resignation comes when the work he was originally engaged to do is far from complete.

He had not even examined land deals affecting the East Boston side of thc tunnel, he said. In all, he submitted five reports. The first one was a comprehensive picture of the entire land taking deals and the next two were supplemental reports dealing with specific transactions. These three were made public but the one on the North End Prado and yesterday's report on "intimate details of certain transactions," have not been released by the com mission.
