Both Senate and House committees were occupied again with Mr. Roose velt’s security program. The House Ways and Means Committee receiv ed these startling figures on the child problem from Edwin E. Witte, director of the President’s committee on economic security: 7,400,000 children under 15 who were on relief last year probably were the worst victims of the depression; states cared for 190,000 fatherless fam ilies with 280.000 children under ten. and the Federal government for 380.- 000 fatherless families, with 719.000 children under ten. Secretary Perkins flatly opposed em ployee contributions to unemploy ment insurance before the Senate Finance Committee. She estimated the total jobless today at about 9,- 000.000. and again opposed the Town send plan for S2OO a month pension for those over 60, even if it were limited to those in need.

It was also noted that the fair tax group presented no substitute for the sales tax, although several of their speakers, speaking apparently for themselves, suggested the legalization of whisky as a source of revenue.

The cold wave appeared to be breaking for the time being today, but the death list mounted steadily as the storm spent itsf ury along the Atlantic seaboard, and southern flood waters swirled destructively. More than a score of the dead per ished in the southern flood sector, which embraced parts of Mississippi. Tennessee and Arkansas. Twenty-five of the fatalities occurred in Missis sippi, four in Tennessee and one in Arkansas. Red Cross officials feared an even larger loss of life would be disclosed later.

North Carolina’s tw r o senators, Josiah William Bailey and Robert R. Reynolds, are opposed to Mc- Ninch. Bailey lias announced he will carry the fight to the Senate floor.

BABSON, Copyright 1935, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park, Fla., Jau. 25. The highlight of 1934 was the recovery on the farm. As a result of the drought, the American farmer finds himself better off today than at any time since 1930. The farm income of the country for 1934 totalled approximate ly $8,000,000,000 compared with $6,- 250,000,000 in 1933—an increase of about thirty per cent for the year. The improved financial position of the farmer today is one of the most prom ising factors in theb usiness outlook for 1935. We cannot have prosperity in the factory withoutp rosperity on the farm. Farmer lleid Spotlight in 1934 A year ago the agricultural pro blem was one of our major issues. 1394 opened with record supplies of some, and large excesses of practical ly all, farm products. Due to the 1934 drought, these supplies, in most cases were entirely wiped out and even shortages in certain commodities dc rJoDcfi Trx 7 t b.?.? v,f6n .

A measure to compel insurance com panies to write compensation policies for industrial plants of three mem bers if the compensation rating and inspection bureau have ruled that the application is made in good faith on a sound risk, was offered by Gard ner, of Cleveland. The Senate held a perfunctory ses sion today, received another bill to reduce automobile license fees and adjourned to consider only local busi (Continued on Page Four) wheat and correspondingly sharp gains in most other farm products’ prices—the average advance being 29 per cent for the year. Hence, the farm picture today has changed en tirely. The farmer is once again feel ing for he has more cash in his pocket thanj at any time since the de pression began. While livestock and grain farmers have felt the improvement most, nearly all farmers are better off to day than a year ago. The drought killed off thousands of daily cattle and created a shortage of feed, thus cutting into milk supplies. Dairy prices to date have been less sensi tive to the drought than feed prices. Hence, in some cases the advance in the latter has more than offset bet ter returns for milk, butter and cheese. Consumption, however, is in creasing and prices are creeping up ward. As time goes on the malad justments will be ironed out. Higher feed prices have also influenced the poultry picture by substantially re t HI - P -Jrr ' PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY j NEVER SAW CHILD DEADER ALIVE, IS Denies Every Step of State's Case From Stealing of Baby To Collect ing Ransom SAYS MONEY GIVEN TO HIM BY FISCH Lay in Closet in His Home From December, 1933, to August, 1934, Before He Knew It Contained Money, He Says; Denies Giving Bill At Theatre Flemington, N. J % Jan. 25. —(AP) A gutteral but crisp “I did not!” was hurl ed today by Bruno Richard Hauptmann to every detail of the State’s charge that he kidnaped, murdered and collected ransom for Baby Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. “I never saw the Lindbergh Baby alive or dead!” he declared. He denied each and every step of the State’s case -the stealing of the' child, its murder, the writing of the ransom notes, the construction of the kidnap ladder, the handling of the baby’s sleeping suit or the collection of the ransom suit from Dr. John F. “Jafsie” Condon. He met the one point he could not deny—-possession of $14,600 of the $50,- 000 ransom money in his garag'e- l)y saying it was left with him in A shoe box by the dead Isadore Fisch, and that it lay in a closet in his *lititpe from December. 1933, until,, Atifelirit, 1934, before he discovered it- ed money. ’VITj He had not completed his direct testimony at the luncheon recess, an 4 just before that time he denied that he had paid for a theatre ticket"fHth a ransom bill on November 16, 1933 — a date prior to the date on which he said Frisch gave him the money. He had been so identified by a the atre cashier. “I was never in that theatre in my life,” he said. He said the box given him by Fisch lay in a closet through which rain leaked, and that it was accidentally broken apart when he struck it with a broom.
