i SERVICE PROGRAM
‘Help Wanted’ Sketches Will
Tell of Plight of 3,000
Lacking Resources.
i Working in co-operation with the
Community Chest and the Board of
* Public Welfare, radio station WJSV
will continue its “Help Wanted" pro-.
' gram during this week. The decision
to continue the programs was made
| because of results already obtained.
The program, in which men and
women in dire distress tell their
stories over the air, is designed to
; impress the public with the plight of
the 3.000 employable men and women
In the District who are without jobs
end are not eligible for assistance
from the Public Assistance Division
* of the Board of Public Walfare.
These employables, most of them
with dependents, represent approxi
mately 10,000 persons without food.
The children are without clothing to
* wear to school and the parents, in
many instances, facing eviction.
’ The Community Chest, through its
sgencies, is furnishing the men and
women w'ho appear on the fadio, be
cause the Chest agencies, already
carrying more people than their
budgeted funds should permit, are
- unable to help directly.
Community Chest agencies report
' that, many employers are attempting
to make these people work for star
vation wages because of their plight.
The men to be heard at 7:15 p m.
tomorrow will be furnished by the
Jewish Social Service Agency.
NEUTRALITY PROTEST
PROBE IS SOUGHT
KeHeynolds Informed Social Se
curity Board Employes
Were Misinformed.
Satisfied that employes of the So
* elal Security Board acted without the
knowledge of members of the board
? ©r of their own union officers in pro
testing against the McReynolds neu
trality bill as “pro-Fascist,” Repre
sentative McReynolds of Tennessee
said last night he would not press
for sr. investigation by the Civil Serv
ice Commission.
"I have been informed by the
Chairman of the board, Mr. Altmeyer,
that he had spoken to the employes
and that a delegation wished to call
on me and explain that the telegram
I received was framed at a meeting
of the employes at which none of the
officers of their union were present.
I am going to wait to see what de
velops before I do anything further.”
Irked by the protest of employes
of a Government agency against his
neutrality bill. Representative Mc
Reynolds said yesterday that if “those
under civil service proposed to dictate
to us on legislation, then I am against
civil service.”
Other members of the House de
fended the employes. Representative
Johnson, Farmer-Labonte, of Minne
cota said he would take the floor if
cny attempt were made to curb the
right of the workers to exercise their
constitutional privilege to speak their
minds.

Note—The Community Chest has its
headquarters office at 1101 M street
northwest. Here is centered responsi
bility for the annual campaign, which
requires year-’round preparation. In
addition to the whole campaign pro
gram, this office must collect the
pledges, apportion funds to the
agencies through the volunteer Budget
Committee, pay out the appropriations
month by month in accordance with
the budgets, determine policies
through the volunteer Board of
Trustees and volunteer Executive
Committee, consult with the agencies
about their financial and administra
tive problems, carry on a variety of
publicity activities; operate an appli
cation bureau to which applicants
for aid may come, enlist and work
with hundreds of volunteers who
make up the functioning committees
and co-ordinate these many lines of
activities into an effective whole.
The budget of the Chest office is
used for the salaries of employes and
for rent, telephone, postage, printing,
office supplies and office equipment
necessary to carry on the large volume
of work. The average budget for the
eight years 1929-1936 has been 6 93
per cent of the total pledges.
The expenditures of the Community
Chest office for this year-’round
operation depend very largely upon
the number of contributors and the
promptness with which pledges are
paid. Large numbers of gifts are, of
course, more expensive to collect than
a small number, and for 1836 there
were 169,927 contributors, over one
half of whom had to be billed for
monthly or quarterly payments.
It is of supreme importance in a
community enterprise which appeals
to all citizens and which, directly or
indirectly, benefits every one, that it
shall enjoy the widest possible sup
port, and we are happy to have so
large a number of contributors.
Prompt, full payment of pledges will
hold the percentage of cost down.
Slow- payment or failure to keep the
promises increases the percentage of
cost of year-’round operation.

SIGNED:
Roads’ Extensive Tests Prove
Mile-Long Rails Practicable
BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.
NEW YORK, March 13.—Stupen
dous new railroad rails, each more
than a mile long, the beginning of
a new phase in American railroading,
were announced today by the Amer
ican Society of Civil Engineers. Usual
rails are 39 feet long.
A number of the ."endless” rails
already have been laid. Their pur
pose is smoother riding, to compete
with busses and planes. Longer life
for rails is another objective. Track
maintenance cost is less and wear is
reduced on rolling stock.
Pour of the rails are each 8,000
feet, or V/2 miles, long. They have
been laid at River Valley, Pa., by
the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad.
The others, each exceeding a mile
by about 700 feet, were laid near Me
chanicsville, N. Y„ by the Delaware
& Hudson Railroad.
All are standard size. They were
made by welding ordinary rails to
gether. The welding was done in
some cases on the track, in others in
the railroad shops.
The mile-long rails were laid on a
string of flat cars. In transportation
they took the curves as readily as so
much cable. Laying them was done
much as a trans-Atlantic cable is
dropped off the end of a ship.
All this was done more than a year
ago. The rails have had two Winters
and one Summer in regular use. The
result, the society anounces, is to
bury a hundred-year-old belief that
rails have to be short to allow for
dangerous expansion and contrac
tion.
The principle is explained in the
engineering society’s proceedings by
Alfred Africano, New York engineer.
In the United States, Germany, Aus
tralia and other countries, he says,
engineers have been experimenting
with continuous welded rails but have
been at a loss to explain why the
ends of the longest rails moved, in
contraction or expansion, not much
more than common 39-foot lengths.
Consequently the fear of accident
persisted. The American experiments
with more than a mile long rails, plus
laboratory tests, Africano said, shows
that “while the small amounts of
holding power in the spike or clip
fastenings of the rail to the ties are
insufficient to prevent a short rail
from expanding as freely as if it were
on greased rollers, the spikes are
sufficient, when added upon a long
rail, to develop a resisting force that
completely fixes the rail In place.
Thereafter no change in length oc
curs.”
A half-mile rail, said Africano, that
had been expected under the old
theory to shorten in the Winter by
>2 Inches, actually contracted three
quarters of an inch.
RIVERS AND HARBORS
PROGRAM IS OUTLINED
Annual Conrentlon of Congreas to
Be Held Her* Next
Month.
Formulation of a comprehensive
Nation-wide program to combat the
destructiveness of floods and the ever
widening drought areas will be under
taken at the thirty-second annual
convention of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, to be held at the
Mayflower Hotel April 28 and 27.
Because of the Importance of the
program, the conference is expected to
be the largest in the history of the
Congress, according to Representative
Nichols of Oklahoma, national vice
president, who announced the meeting.

WAGE LEGISLATION
DELAY PREDICTED
IT. S. Chamber Reports Wide Dif- j
ferences in Opinion Among
Administration Groups.
By the Associated Press.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States said yesterday there
is still wide disagreement among ad
ministration groups studying possi
ble new wage and hour legislation.
Predicting wage and hour con
trol w'ill be “related” to President
Roosevelt’s proposed court reorgani
zation, the chamber added:
“Drafters of substitute N. R. A.
legislation apparently are in no haste
to bring forward specific plans.”
In its periodical, Washington Re
view, the organization said divergent
views exist among administration
groups as to the degree of control,
the industries to be affected and the
appropriate administrative agency.
“Fhospects are that no concrete
administration proposal will be ready
before May I at the earliest.”
Regarding the Supreme Court is
sue, the chamber said:
"Both sidss expect a prolonged,
hard-fough| legislative battle, making
adjournment of Congress a matter of
great uncertainty.”
REICHSBANK PROFITS
BERLIN, March 13 (VP).—The
Reichsbank’s 1936 report disclosed to
day net profits of 40,000,000 marks
($16,000,000 at official rates), making
possible a dividend of 12 per cent.
Eight per cent of the dividend, the
report said, would be payable in cash
and 4 per cent in state loan stock.
The Reichsbank's formal inde
pendence ceased last month with its
co-ordination under the personal con
trol of Relchsfuehrer Adolph Hitler.
The report noted continued diffi
culty in the foreign exchange situa
tion, but added that several loopholes
in currency control had been plugged
be mor* stringent regulations.
f
DAVIS TO ATTEND
PARLEY ON SUGAR
Disarmament and Economic
Problems Are Believed
Also on Assignment.
The State Department announced
yesterday that it is sending Norman
H. Davis, Ambassador-at-large and
chief American delegate to the dis
armament conference, to Europe. His
ostensible mission will be to represent
the United States at the world sugar
conference, to be convened in London
on April 5, but the general supposition
is that sugar is only the coating for
the main ingredients in Davis's mis
sion.
Possibilities of reviving the disarm
ament movement and of calling an
economic conference, either of general
character or to deal with specific
problems, are believed to be on Davis's
diplomatic agenda.
He may also discuss naval questions
in particular. The main objective of
the State Department, it is believed,
is to get Davis abroad where he can
use his prestige and wide personal
acquaintanceship in many nations to
“feel out" the international situation
generally and see whether anything
can be done, on the initiative of the
United States, to ease world tension.
C ommittee Meets May 3.
The Steering Committee of the dis
armament conference meets in Geneva
on May 3. Whether Davis will attend
it has not been decided, it was an
nounced yesterday. Davis is said to
feel that he should attend it, even
though State Department officials have
no reason to expect that it will be
more than a perfunctory meeting un
less the United States, through Davis,
tries to resume activity of some kind.
At present, official opinion here is
set against any initiative on the part
of this country in the disarmament
field. But the feeling is growing that
the European situation is improving
somewhat and that the time may
come when the disarmament question
can be re-opened. The same feeling
in general is understood to apply to
initiatives in the economic field.
Davis will be accompanied by J. B.
Hutson, assistant A. A. A. adminis
trator, and Frederick Livesey, assistant
economic adviser to the State De
partment. These two men are ex
pected to deal with the sugar problem
while Davis and other advisers as yet
undesignated explore armament and
economic problems generally with !
British officials.
Goes Next to Paris.
From London Davis is expected to 1
proceed to Paris for conversations
with French officials and thence to
Geneva for the Steering Committee of
the disarmament conference, unless
the State Department requests him
to remain away from Geneva.
The World Sugar Conference has
been called, under the auspices of the
secretariat of the World Monetary
and Economic Conference of 1933,
which adjourned Indefinitely in the
Summer of 1933. The sugar con
ference has been under discussion for
a year or more, according to officials
here. The demand for such a con
ference came from some of the chief
cane sugar exporting areas, such as
Java and Cuba.
These sugar-cane areas have been
experiencing Increasing difficulty over
several years became of the movement
toward national sufficiency in sugar and
the consequent stimulation to beet
sugar production by tariffs and boun
ties.
