HITLER CLAIMS DECREASES IN JOBLESS^ LIST Living Standard Goes Downward in Strong Measures to Pass Jobs Around Berlin M»y 10—<4*>—‘The gov •rument hailed Friday as a victory for common welfare a reported de crease of 16S.000 in nasi unemploy ment lists. The figures admittedly ief 2.234 000 idle at the end of AprlL Rcichstuehrer Hitler’s Voelluscher Beobachter said: “8mcc the power of selfish inter est has been broken and since the state no longer is dependent upon employers’ egoistic will and labor unions political wishes, continuous progress is made despite obstacles." In its energetic marshalling of men and figures to show a decline In unemployment, the nazl regime is pushing the living standard downward, lowering consumption and cutting working hours to pass th? Jobs around. Thousands are working for a monthly wage of 44 marks—about $17.60—or are getting that amount in doles The weekly number of work hours is set at a maximum of 36 Overtime work ia strictly forbid den. There must be no “double earning” by man and wife. If a wife earns more than 20 marks weekly her unemployed husband is not counted as idle. Machines can not be placed In competition with hand work Man ufacturers are not allowed to buy new machinery that might throw somebody out of work. Men must not change their pro fessions or trades lest the labor market be upset. Retailers, for the same reason, may not conduct any wholesale business, and vice versa. A portion of each salary above a certain figure Is confiscated and given to the unemployed. Thus a government office supervisor, whose position demands at least a college education, may get 600 marks monthly, of which he returns 150 marks. Come to Plead With Roosevelt for Bergdoll Mr*.

Within a short time after the colonists leave here, plans were for the St. Mihiel. army transport which brought them north from San Francisco, to return to Seattle. K aecomd contingent of colonists, from Wisconsin, will sail from 9eattle for the north on May 18.

He said the group would consider how much money congress should appropriate and how it would be ; spent. The senator previously said I any appropriation voted probably would be turned over to a special commission of three members of President Roosevelt s cabinet for final disposition, instead of to the Texas Centennial commission. It was considered possible the bill, to be Introduced by Connally and Representative Lanham (D-Tex), would ask for as much as S3 000,000. Members of the Joint commission are Senators Connally, McGill fD Kans) and Austin (R-Vert and Representatives Lanham. Bloom (D-NY> and Martin (R-Mass*. They were named last spring to investigate the possibilities of fed eral assistance but took no action because the Texas legislature at that time had not appropriated any state funds.

May The Nef* Deal'* bid for greater pow er over money and credit came face to face with a senate critic Fttday after winning overwhelming ap proval in the house Thursday. Marrtoer S. Bccles. governor of the Federal Reserve board, was sum moned before a senate sub-oommlt Lee to answer questions about th« omnibus banking *bill which the house passed. 271 to 110. Senator Carter Glass (D-Va), chairman of the sub-committee, has opposed some of the powers which the measure would concentrate In Washington. Leaders predicted there would be no action on the bill on the senate rioor for several weeks, but they foresaw a bitter controversy im mediately before the Glass sub committee. Glass and his colleagues planned to hear Winthrop W. Aldrich, presi dent of the Chase National bank, and Francis M Law. former presi dent of the American Bankers asso ciation. next Tuesday. Aldrich was among the signers of a statement issued by the Bankers' a&eciatlon recently, approving sec tions of the bill dealing with de posit insurance and some technical changes in the banking laws but suggesting changes to minimize the possibility of what critics have en visioned as political control over the federal reserve system. Generally, bankers already heard by the Glass group have expressed opposition to tht federal reserve provisions of the olll, Opponents apparently reserved their strongest attacks on these sections until hear lr**» ‘-“gan on the senate side of the capitoL nouse passage of the bill came efter that body had smashed down a proposal by Reo. Cross (D-Texas) to make the federal reserve system a central government-owned bank. Cross proposed that the secretary oi the treasury by authorised to buy fliO.ODO.OOO worth of stock In the 12 central reserve banka, now held by the 7.000 reserve member banks. Rep. Williams (D-Mo) contended such s move would be an uncon stitutional seizure of property and the proposal was rejected 112 to 61.

Worcestershire. Eng land, May 10.—i4V-Oirls with bare legs and painted Ups were banned from the parish church at Sedgley near here Friday by order of the vicar, the Rev. Harold Malley.

The Rev. Mr. Marley's admoni tion was contained in an article In the parish magazine. “I consider the girl who thrusts her unclothed flesh before the at tention—frequently the close at tention, because of the nearness in the pew—of the male sex Is doing a cattish trick. “The male mind, being what It Is, Is bound to be diverted. If It be said, ‘weU. I dont think much of the male mind.' my answer would be. ‘it Is as It was made.’ “Woman was given those fair Limbs to attract man, but only so that sht might help him through life and not hinder him.” The Rev. Mr. Marley was the Rev. J. A. Ruffner It Made Supply Pastor Rev. J. A.
