WORKS PROGRAM
HAMPERED BY ROW
Varying Situations in 10
States Complicate Aid
for Unemployables.
By the Associated Press.
Uncertainty in 10 States over relief
matters is reported to be hampering
administration efforts to turn back
to the States the care of unemploy
ablcs, as planned under the new four
blllion-dollar program.
Officials familiar with relief plans
said the amounts being demanded
from the States by Harry L. Hopkins,
relief administrator, represented to a
large degree sums needed to take care
of the unemployables whose support
the Federal Government hereafter will
make a State job.
With the States regularly contribut
ing such amounts, it was said the way
would be cleared for their continuing
to carry that load after direct relief
from the Federal Government was
ended.
Matters Complicated.
Varying situations that have arisen
In the States, however, have compli
cated matters. In Georgia and Louisi
ana much of the trouble is blamed by
Federal officials upon Gov. Eugene
Talmadge and Senator Long, Demo
crat. of Louisiana. There has been
no indication that relief would not be
administered in those States by Fed
eral officials as long as the $880,000,000
for direct relief lasts.
Secretary Ickes has said that if
public works were handled under the
four-billion-dollar fund as they have
been in the past, Georgia would get
little money and Louisiana might not
get any. But he was speaking of that
portion of the money which might be
loaned to the State or municipalities
and which would be accompanied by
a grant from the Federal Government.
In the minds of Washington officials,
there existed no doubt that those two
States would receive funds for a wide
range of projects which, under the
works fund, will be financed wholly
by the Federal Government. Much of
this money, however, will be spent In
co-operation with localities under ar
rangements by which the money will
be repaid.
The other States figuring in the re
lief fund dispute are Pennsylvania.
Tennessee, Florida, North and South
Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey and
Missouri.
suppnea tor luumu.
Pennsylvania and Missouri have ar
ranged to supply the money demanded
of them for one month. What will be
the situation after that month remains
to be seen. In each of the States the
situation differs.
All the States save New Jersey have
Democratic governors, and political
forecasters predicted the present dis
pute would be reflected in the 1936
presidential campaign.
Louisiana, Georgia and South Caro
lina have not gone Republican since
the Civil War. But North Carolina,
Virginia and Florida bolted A1 Smith j
in 1928 to go for Herbert Hoover. The i
Democrats made a clean sweep of
Pennsylvania in the last election for
the first time in a generation. Ten

relief rolls, according to rough esti
mates.
F. E. R. A. has called on the States
to raise more money for relief than
they did last year. The F. E. R. A.
schedule calls for State and local con
tributions of $563,775,000 for the com
ing year. This amount is expected
to take care of mo6t of the unem
ployables on the relief rolls. Several
States are still balking at appropriat
ing the sums requested by Mr. Hop
kins. The policy outlined by him
for Georgia was looked upon as a
model for future action. Georgia’s
share of money for work relief will
be administered by the Federal Gov
ernment. After June 1, according to
Mr. Hopkins’ warning, the States and
localities will be entirely responsible
for the rest of the people on relief,
excepting the farmers who are being
rehabilitated, transients, and those
who come under other special pro
grams.
Life of Fund ControversiaL
How long the *4,880.000.000 appro
priation will last is one of the most
controversial questions in administra
tion circles. The President has said
that he plans to spend it all before
July 1, 1936, unless there is sufficient
recovery to make it unnecessary to
provide 3.500,000 men with jobs. He
has spoken of November, 1935, as the
month In which he hopes to have
the program moving at full speed.
On the other hand, he has spoken of
.Iniv as the month in which
certain parts of the construction pro
gram may be expected to reach their
peak.
Unless expenditures are deliberately
held back, there is little chance that
there will be any money left in the
fund after July 1, 1936. according to
some of the best calculators in the
administration. They expect the
(880.000.000 to be gone by the end
of this fiscal year, through an acceler
ation of expenditure via the C. C. C.
and the F. E. R. A. work program,
plus the natural pick up in P. W. A.
construction work following the break
up of Winter and the continued need
for relief in the drought areas. That
Will leave $4,000,000,000. But P. W. A.,
F. E. R. A., C. C. C. and related ex
penditures for the current year prom
ise to exceed $3,000,000,000. Thus, it
is pointed out, three of the four bil
lions for next year will be needed
merely to maintain the 1934-35 pace
of expenditures.
Increased State appropriations will
give some aid. The new program will
obtain a little leeway from the trans
fer of certain construction items which
were financed by P. W. A. this year
to the regular budget for next year.
If the Bankhead farm tenant bill
passes, the $4,880,000,000 fund will be
relieved of part of the expense of
rehabilitating farmers. But when
these allowances are made, officials
in the spending agencies of the ad
ministration are still unable to see
how the $4,880,000,000 fund can be
stretched to carry through the 1936
election, except by holding expendi
tures to their present level, or lower,
for the next nine months and conserv
ing the fund for a big push in 1936.
Hopes For Industrial Revival.
The administration is hoping for
substantial aid in reducing unemploy
ment through the revival of the
heavy goods industries. But it faces
the fact that . there are several
million unemployed, not on relief, to
be absorbed by private industry before
any substantial reduction in the relief
rolls can be expected. Hie pump*
priming capacity of the new program
is limited, in view of the fact that that
even if the entire amount is spent
before July 1, 1936. it will put only
between $1,000,000,000 and $2,000.
000.000 more in circulation than was
put out this year by the Federal
Government.
For that reason, there is sentiment
in the administration in favor of
trying to concentrate the extra spend-,
ing power in the new program into a
carefully-selected number of months.
This is urged on the theory that if
industrial production is maintained at
a reasonably high level for four or
five consecutive months, an additional
shot in the arm from the Federal
Treasury will create a real spurt and
provide the psychological basis for a
prolonged rise.
On the other hand, the '‘spending"
theory of recovery has few prominent
advocates in the upper circles of the
administration. The President out
lined and argued for the $4,880,000,000
program as a relief and conservation
measure, and is pledged to provide
3,500,000 jobs, presumably for a full
year. The carrying out of this pledge |
would be difficult under a scheme for
concentrated spending within a few
months.
Moreover, persons close to the White
House are in a more optimistic frame
of mind just at present over the high
level of activity of the automobile
industry and the marked improvement
in some of the heavy goods Industries.
These signs are strengthening, at least
temporarily, the more conservative ad
visers to the President, who see cheap
money, a halt on reform legislation,
and a period of quiet as the main
needs for recovery.

KANSAN FIGHTS DELAY
IN LOWERING RAIL RATE
Homer Hoch Urges I. C. C. to Re
fuse Carriers Another Extension
to Work Out Tariff.
By the Associated Press.
TOPEKA. Kans.. April 20.—Homer ,
Hoch. chairman of the Kansas State j
Corporation Commission, today re- \
quested the Interstate Commerce
Commission to refuse a further delay
In putting into effect lowered grain
rates, due to become effective in June
in territory served by Western rail
roads.
The roads have sought another
delay, contending they did not have
time in which to work out tariffs, but
Hoch said a delay would mean farm
ers would have to pay the higher rates
on their 1935 wheat crop.
"The railroads had no trouble in
working out their tariffs in three
weeks when increased rates were
granted on other commodities,” he
said, "and I can't see why they can’t
do the same thing in three months for
the lower grain rates.”
Hoch is a former Republican Repre
sentative from the fourth Kansas dis
trict.
PANSIES IN FULL BLOOM
Park authorities are enthusiastic

that in 10 days there will be a million
blossoms.
The pansy beds are near the Inlet
Bridge and the rose garden, and
annually are attracting more and
more visitors, the officials said.

To wnsend, Long and Coughlin
Seen Hurting U. S. in Far East
Dr. Ivan Lee Holt, Head of Federal
Council of Churches, Says Orient Is
Dismayed by Fantastic Theses.
Br the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, April 20—Activities
of Dr. Townsend, Huey Long, Father
Coughlin and others “are lowering
the prestige of the United States in
the Far East," in the opinion of Dr.
Ivan Lee Holt of St. Louis, president
of the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America.
“The peoples of China and Japan,"
he said, “are unable to understand
how the United States is swayed as
it is by such fantastic theses as those
propounded by Townsend, Long and
Coughlin."
Dr. Holt, who nas spent three
months surveying conditions in China :
and Japan, will leave Monday for
Australia to attend the centennial of
the Australian South Methodist
Church as fraternal delegate from the
American Southern Methodists.
Dr. Holt said he believed America's
refusal to enter the World Court and
the Nation's present silver policy are
other factors “lessening American in
fluence in the Orient.”
"Oriental peoples, especially the
Japanese, are unable to understand
America when it preaches world
amity and co-operation but simul
taneously refuses to enter the World
Court, which Is aimed at the further- I
ence of these ideals," he commented.
America's silver buying, he said,
“is adding to China's economic diffi
culties” and hence causing China to
wonder just what is America’s real
attitude toward her.
Dr. Holt said he looked with con
cern on approaching American naval
maneuvers in the Pacific
“In Japan,” he explained, "officials
told me the Japanese government
does not view the maneuvers as a
hostile demonstration toward Japan,
but that the Japanese people consider
them unfriendly and view them with
alarm.”
[0 NEEDY CHARGED
Jobless Right to Organize
Also Demanded by Lib

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 20—Demands
that relief workers and the unemployed
be permitted to organize and bargain
collectively were coupled with a de
nunciation of police "brutality" In a
pamphlet issued today by the Ameri
can Civil Liberties Union.
Efforts of the unemployed to or
ganize and conduct peaceful demon
strations have been met, the union
charged, with police violence "unprece
dented in American history.”
Six Recommendations Made.
After outlining six specific recom
mendations to protect the rights of
the unemployed, the pamphlet said:
“It has become a matter of routine
to have police stationed at relief bu
reaus. Peaceful demonstrations, or
marches, held In spite of refusal of
permits, have been broken up. often
with brutality. Demonstrations where
permits were issued have been on oc
casions dispersed with equal brutality.
“This routine use of police violence,
often with frank official approval,
against a body of citizens such as the
organized unemployed, Is unprece
dented In American history."
The pamphlet, sent to the union's
claimed membership of 4.000 persons
throughout the country, listed these
recommendations:
Removal of all police from relief
stations.
Establishment of regular complaint
bureaus at all relief stations.
Unrestricted right of the unem
ployed to organize, meet and demon
strate
Right to Organize.
Unrestricted right of relief workers
to organize and bargain collectively.
No discrimination in relief against
strikers.
No denial of right to vote to recipi

severity toward the unemployed was
duplicated in the courts.

President, Urges Service Ideal ar,
44th Continental Congress Ends,
Plans to put into effect policies of
he newly elected administration of
he Daughters of the American Revo
ution, will be mapped out at the
Irst meeting of the new National
3oard of Management tomorrow
nomlng.
Mrs William A. Becker of Sum
nit, N. J„ when Installed yesterday
is president general, succeeding Mrs.
Bussell William Magna of Holyoke,
Haas., placed this largest women's
patriotic organization on record “for
;he Ideals of America and for the
popes of humanity." To carry out
,hls principle she pleaded with the
nembership for “unity, tolerance and
iharity.”
Mrs. Becker's installation, along
urith her cabinet, and the State re
lents from all parts of the country,
prought to a close yesterday morn
ng at Constitution Hall business ses
ilons of the Forty-fourth Continental
Congress. But festivities continued
yesterday afternoon and evening, with
i reception by Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House for all the Daughters,
»nd the annual banquet, or “love
feast,” last night at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Policies Likely to Conform.
Policies of the Becker administra
tion, which have been characterized
generally as conservative, are not ex
pected to differ widely from those of
tier predecessor, and personal friend,
Mrs. Magna, as the two were class
mates at Smith College, and have
been closely associated throughout
their D. A. R. careers. Mrs. Becker
was a member of Mrs. Magna's ad
ministration. as chairman of the Com
mittee on National Defense through
patriotic education.
Giving a key to what she may be
expected to do throughout her three
year term ahead. Mrs. Becker, in her
brief speech of installation yesterday
said she was “deeply conscious of the '
responsibilities” of her new post.
The D. A. R.. she said, "stands for
the Ideals of America, and for the :
hopes of humanity. For myself, and
for my cabinet. I pledge to you devo
tion in service that we may fulfill the j
hope you have In us.”
Sew Chance to Serve.
“Never since the dawn of history
has there been such a marvelous op
portunity for service as we have be
fore us today. As character is the
foundation of our .civilization, and
intellect without character is national
suicide, so may we direct ourselves,
our abilities and our Intelligence
toward the re-establishment of faith
in God. and the spirit of Justice and
humanity.
"I beseech your co-operation." said
Mrs. Becker, "your advice and counsel,
that together we may build construe- |
tively and serve effectually.
‘Differences of opinion are desir
able. but differences of conviction on !
fundamental matters can lead only to
the breaking up of society. The great
ages of man have been the ages of
unity.
1 “So I plead for unity within our
society to go forward on the magnifi
cent program to which we as a society
are committed. May unity, tolerance
and charity direct our counsels to
gether.”
Debt Cancelling Ritual.
Elaborate ceremonies pi the closing
session yesterday morning were
marked by a picturesque demonstra
tion celebrating the cancellation of
the debt on Constitution Hall. Mrs.
Magna, who for nine years has been
head of the Constitution Hall Com
mittee. presided over a surprise pag
eant. in which she cut a piece out of
a gigantic birthday cake, towering
high above her. brilliantly lighted by
100 electric candles. Inside the piece
of cake she found a “plum”—a piece
of paper on which was written the
words: “The debt on Constitution
Hall is all wiped out, paid by current
funds of the society, as it is possible
to do so."
This referred to action taken by the
society a few moments before. Con
tributions to the hall fund had been
made at several sessions reducing
the debt owed by the organization to
one of its own funds to about $100,000.
It was then decided to pay off the
remainder out of current funds. A
glowing tribute to the work of Mrs.
Magna aa chairman of the Hall Com
mittee, was read by Mrs. George May
nard Minor, honorary president gen
eral.
Mrs. Becker Applauded.
Spontaneous applause greeted Mrs.
Becker and the new officers and State
regents as they marched to Che plat
form to be installed In office.
Mrs. Becker's love of simplicity was
again evidenced In the selection of
the gown In which she took her oath
of office. Her gown was of her favorite
shade of blue and she carried a simple
cluster of gardenias, a gift of Mr.
Becker.

RECTO A R.
Reception at White House
Precedes Annual Banquet,
Closing Congress.
Pomp and color prevailed at th»
closing social functions yesterday of
the Forty-fourth Annual Continental
Congress, National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution.
In the afternoon Mrs. Roosevelt re
ceived the delegates and pages to the
Congress at a reception in the Whits
House and in the evening the annual
banquet was staged at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Mrs. Roosevelt, herself a member
of the great patriotic society, stood
in the historic blue room to greet
the Daughters, who assembled in the
east room. As the delegates arrived
in the state suite and during the re
ception the Marine Band Orchestra
played selections.
All the ceremony of a formal eve
ning reception was carried out, with
the military and naval aides in full
dress regalia assisting In the general
comfort of the guests.
Mrs. Magna Received.
Mrs. Russell William Magna, re
tiring president general, and the mem
bers of her cabinet were the first to
be received by Mrs. Roosevelt, with
Mrs. William A. Becker, new chief
of the society, and her national offi
cers immediately following. Both Mrs.
Magna and Mrs. Becker wore blue
gowns and hats, Mrs Magna carry
ing a blue muff of flowers, and Mrs.
Becker a pink mufl adorned with gar
denias.
The pages of the Congress in their
all - white costumes made a striking
contrast to the handsome and effec
tive gowns and accessories in every
hue worn by the delegates. The pages
formed a circle in the long red cor
ridor of the mansion and after th»
officers and State regents were re
ceived they passed into the blue room
to pay their respects to their hostess.
The White House was gay with
cut flowers and greens from the man
sion's conservatories. Easter lilies pre
' dominating In the effective floral dis
1 play. After the Daughters were re
ceived many took the opportunity of
] seeing the formal gardens and the
grounds of the President's home, which
were thrown open to them.
Rivalry Is Banished.
Any feelings of rivalry from the
triennial election battle were aban
doned at the annual banquet last
night. There were no formal speeches,
following the custom of the society,
but flowery expressions of praise and
good will were features.
The banquet was the largest in the
history of the society, with more than
1.400 In attendance. The ball room
of the hotel was too small to accom
modate the crowd, so tables were laid
in both the Chinese room and the
lobby. The scene was one of splendor,
i with the delegates wearing their fa
vorite and most becoming evening
gowns. Enhancing the beauty of the
fashion show were the many flowers
, sent to the favorite daughters by their
* chapters and friends.
Seated at the honor table next to
; Mrs. Magna was Mrs. Becker, and
others at the table were the four hon
orary’ presidents general. Mrs. George
Maynard Minor, stanch supporter ot
Mrs. Becker: Mrs. Lowell Fletcher
Hobart, Mrs. George Thacher Guern
sey and Mrs. Grace Lincoln Hall
Brosseau, the retiring and the new
national officers and the State re
gents. Many of the chapters had In
dividual tables.
At the close of the function Mrs.
Magna and Mrs. Becker received
those attending. Music was by the
United States Marine Band Or
chestra.
