MANY CALLED 'CHISELERS' Communist Agitators Hit as Contributing to Conditions jn N. Y.

Area. The city relief organization is being recast in line with the determination of President Boosevelt to place all unemployed men, who willing: to work on a job and providing; other recourse for unemployables. Considerable difficulty la being lowever, with a largo number of "chlselers and fakers" on the city relief rolls who refuse t-go to work when It is offered to them. According to Acting Welfare Commissioner Stanley W. Howe, a test case made of 200 single men on home relief as to whether they would go to work on a city prison project at Camp Greycourt or to off relief.

He said that the rosults showed that 47 went to Camp Greycourt, 53 were not permitted by the department doctors to go because of their physical condition and 101 refused to go and were dropped. Howe'-'; Warned "chlselers and fakers'- and Communist agitators for this condition. He said' that there were as many as Eft per' cent of the single men on home rvllef who wore takers. The Welfare. Department Is be- lBt Brganlzed on the new 'policy of providing more jobs, to become effective on the first Of January.

Those Jobs will be of various kinds and will be created In conjunction with large projects originating and financed by the federal government. The men on relief wilt either go to work on these Jobs or their relief will be stopped Cut City Cost, Howe pointed Out the cost to the city on the new program Will prob ably be less than at the present time. In the case of unemploy able, that is, men and women who incapacitated from working, the city and State will have to assume the entire coat and that category will represent a larger outlay by the city than at the present time. But on the other hand, what is now work relief will be taken over at a much largor expense by the Federal Government 'on these projects. The "Mayor pointed1 out today that this change in relief procedure was advocated by the President by the U.

"She has expressed her complete willingness to testify and the State looks upon her as a very Important, witness." Tho normally slow-moving little town was abuzz with activity today In preparation for the trial, which opens next One line which the defense strategy will pursue was disclosed today when it waa learned that Edward J.

Reilly of Brooklyn, N. chief attorney for the accused Bronx carpenter. Will call as defense witnesses Col. Charles Lindbergh; the slain baby's father; S. Edgar Hoover of the Department of Justice, and Col.

H. Norman Schwartzkopf, Superintendent of the. Newjereey state Police.1' three. will be "called by Reilly, it Is understood, In an effort to convince the Jury that the authbrlties did n6t act wisely in pursuing many angles of the case. One, of the Incidents, the defense will stress is the refusal to permit New Tork police to post detective In the -vicinity of a Brooklyn mail box from which the kidnaper was expected to mall another ransom demand.

Hanpimann's Income Meanwhile, It waa reported that the State of New Jersey will charge that Hauptmann possessed more -than 4,600 above his avowed sources of income during the past two years. The prosecution, it was rumored, will attempt to identify this money as the bulk of the 000 ransom which Dr. John F. Con, don, Lindbergh intermediary, tossed over the wall of a Bronx ceme tery on April 1, 188. Hauptmann waa served in his cell in the Hunterdon County Jail this afternoon with a formal Copy ot the indictment accusing him' of the murder of Charles A.

Lindbergh, Jr. The paper was given the prisoner by Sheriff John H. Curtiss, who said ho would deliver another copy to V. Lloyd Fisher, one or the ae-f ense lawyers, later today "as a matter -of courtesy." Rumors flew thick and fast about Fletnington as droves of additional newspaper writers moved Into town In preparation for the start of the trial before Supreme Court. Justice Thomas W.

Trenchard. Threatening Letters One rumor which caused stir was to the effect that many of the 48 men and women selected on Wednesday for the Jury panel had begun to receive "threatening letters' and letters containing advice, information and warnings. Defense Attorney Fisher said he was not surprised, in view of the wide publicity given the case and members of the State legal staff expressed similar views. Neither side attached much attention to the rumors and indicated nothing would be done even if it is found the prospective Jurors hare actually received such letters. "All sorts of reports are golns the rounds," Fisher said.

At the same time', Einstein expressed I disagreement with the great body of physicists who believe that the law, of cause and effect has been found wanUng and unworkable.

While atromlo laws aer now being formulated in a fashion which makes no use of the law of cause and effect Dr. Ein stein I predicted that phycislsts would eventually return to its use. Meets Newspapermen In the best of humor and look ing the picture of health, he met a group of local, and vtsiUng newspapermen at the home of Nathaniel Mrs. Spear acted as hostess, seating the group in the living room. A deep armchair by the fireplace had been reserved for Einstein.

"It's like a stage setting" Mrs, Spear said, as Dr. Einstein entered the room, accompanied by his per sonal advisor, Dr. Leon Watters, of New Tork. "This is fine society." Dr. Ein stein (aid, as he- looked about the room.

He was referring to the National Association of Science writers) which had asked for the Interview. He wore a single-breasted oxford gray suit wing collar And knitted black New Idea of Future A future in which man will realize almost undreamed of possibilities of his mental nature was painted before the American Association for the Advancement ot science by Dr. William Alanson White, world-famous psychiatrist Dr. White was the chief speaker at the opening of the convention last night Man's future lays in a new understanding of the meaning of heedity and environment, in the application of new scientific discoveries in physics, chemistry and biology to the fields of psychology, and in the significant way in which man's "very highly developed self-regard functions," Dr. White told bis audience.

Einstein was to speak at 4:80 P. M. upon "an elementary proof of the theorem concerning the equivalence of mass and energy." This lecture will be the high point of the convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. A Simpler Proof It was in 105 that Prof. Bin-stein first advanced the theory that matter could be converted into energy under certain circumstances.

This theory has been used to account for the energy ot the sun and it is estimated that the sun decreases in mass by 4,000,000 tons per second. His address this afternoon will consist of a newer and simpler mathematical proof of the theorem, Dr. Einstein said. He explained that certain electromagnetic laws used in the original proof of the theorem had since been called into question and that science needed a proof which did not use them. Asked whether it was possible that science might some day find a way to convert matter Into energy here on for practical purposes, he smiled and said that he thought the answer was "no." I am not a prophet in any thing," he said, "not in science either.

But I feel absolutely sure well, nearly sure that it will not be possible to convert matter into energy for practical purposes." This, he explained, was because of the difficulty of the method which involves bombarding atom wltn sub-atomic particles, wnne there are' trillions of atoms, they are so small, that direct hits are very few and it is only these which release energy. Dr. Einstein sold, "It is like shooting birds in the dark in a country where there are only a few birds." Professor Einstein leaned back in his chair and chuckled. It was evident that he was enjoying himself, He looked at ease with the world. Winter Thunderstorm Hits London Suburbs London, Dec.

25. A terrific win-, ter thunderstorm frightened persons along' the northwestern and northern outskirts of London early today. The storm started at midnight It closed with a great flash of lightning and a thunder clap of such volume that people thought there had been an explosion.

--i v. vt Washington Dec. 28. The Federal Emergency Relief Ad ministration today cleared the way for a broad work- relief program in 1935. Administrator Harry L.

It wilt leave around 16,000,000 able-bodied; clear-minded unemployed capable Of earning wage on Government-financed projects, order was interpreted In official circles as being the Adminis tration's first move to base the 181 5 relief program on work, despite recent sentiment of big business for the cheaper "handout" system. Hopkins' order came as he an nounced States, counties and cities already had shouldered an Increasingly large relief burden.

Threefold Result He laid the three group of po litical subdivisions had spent 890,660 of their own funds for relief during the first ten months of 1814, an inorease of 371,614,477 over the 8252,876,881 In the same period in 1883. Results of Hopkins' new orders probably will be threefold. First, relief costs are' expected to mount slightly, although relief rolls will be decreased; second, those remaining on relief probably will receive more than the 125 to $30 they now average, each month; third, Btate, county and local taxpayers may be called upon to pay new levies. Hopkins estimated work relief is It per cent, more expensive than direct relief, with the additional money, needed tor purchasing materials. i years.
