A CCOIiniNG to the census bu
reau, there are some 14J mil
lion employed women In the Unit
ed States.
(This refers to women getting a
.pay check. Housewives aren't pre
sumed to be employed. The sup
position is that they just fool
around the house some 10 to 18
hours a day, whillng away their
time by cooklniT, washing dishes,
making beds, scrubbing floors,
etc.)
A CCORD1NG to the best guesses
" available (w h I c h probably
aren't any too accurate) there Is
about an equal number of unem
ployed persons In the country
presumably men, since housewives
aren't counted cither way.
If you like to jump to hasty
conclusions, here is one:
. Fire all the employed women
and give their jobs to men. Where
upon (if it Is true that women
don't count, anyway) unemploy
ment will Immediately VANISH.
TT would be nice to got rid of un-
employment. If we could get
rid of unemployment, we ought to
be able lo get rid of relief, also
Hid relief Is becoming ti frightful

Revamping Bill Futile If Congress
Denied Veto Power, McNary Says
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. (AP)
Some of the senators who op
posed the administration's reor
ganization bill in the last con
gress predicted today the defeat
of anv new proposal to give Presi
dent Roosevelt a free hand to re
shuffle federal bureaus.
The president told a press con
ference yesterday he would recom
mend to the new congress enact
ment of a reorganization bill, but
said he had no idea whether there
would be any fundamental
changes from the measure which
evoked a heated controversy last
cession.
In that connection Mr. Roose
velt commented that everyone
agrees the government's admini
pit Hyp ma'inTV should be
made more efficient.
.Npnaiur McNary (U.. Ore.), the
minor! tv leader, echoed .this view,
but added:
"Everyone Is for reorganization
if it will promote the efficiency of

thereof. K very one is willing to
Spending Orgy
Denounced By
Senator Byrd
U. S. Suffers From 9 Years
of 'Fiscal Insanity, Tax '
Assn. Told; Eccles'
Policy Scored.
BOSTON, Dee. 10. (AP) De
claring the nation was suffering
from "nine years of fiscal Insanity,"
Senator Uyrd (D., Va.) today de
manded a slash in federal spending
and adde.d the nation could expect
no "leadership from the present ad
ministration for economy and re
trenchment." Climaxing the annual meeting of
the Massachusetts Federation of
Taxpayers' associations, Byrd ns
serted "good government and lib
eral government would he fnstly
promoted If the brain-trusters from
Tugwell to Corcoran would go
home, and if congress resumed Its
constitutional duty."
Eccles' Policy Flayed.
Byrd centered part of his sharp
attack on Chairman Mnrriner S.
Eccles of the federal reserve board.
He declared that so long as Eccles
economy philosophy dominated the
administration's fiscal policies, no
"sane budget policy can bo hoped
for." Reforring further to Eccles,
Byrd said:
"The more you borrow and spend,
the more prosperous you are; the
more taxes you pay, the more pros
perous you are, says Mr. Eccles.
This incredible statement was
made hy the head of our national
banking system in New York last
week and indicntes to whnt depths
of false reasoning we have sunk in
the jrock-pot legislative ideas of
those holding important positions.'!
Will Demand Economy.
The senator estimated the "di
rect" public debt would be $41,000,
Onn.000 by next July, and that, if
the bonds, debentures nnd notes of
various federal agencies were added
in, the "actual debt" would ap
proach $50,000,000,000. '
Again attacking the president's
government reorganization bill, he
declared he himself would intro
duce reorganization legislation aim
ed at "retrenchment and economy."

give a president power to abolish
officers nnd bureaus and transfer
and amalgamate the functions of
bureaus.
"But in my opinion the majority
of congress wants to have some
control over arbitrary decisions
by the president."
McNary told reporters that the
reorganization program could not
be enacted without an amendment
giving congress the veto , power
over presidential orders revamp
ing the administrative setup.
Such an amendment was propos
ed ly Senator Wheeler (D Mont.)
during senate consideration of the
reorganization measure last ses
sion, but wag defeated. The sen
ate then passed the bill, but it
was pigeon-holed in the house.
Wheeler asserted today that the
measure still could be enacted If
his amendment were adopted.
On the administration side of
the argument. Senator Norris

a "futile" reorganization bill
which gave congress the power to
review presidential decisions.
Program If or Broadening
Old Age Insurance Setup
Drawn by Federal Board
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (AP)
The social security advisory
council drafted today sweeping
recommendations for broadening
the government's old age insur
ance system.
While the council's official re
port will not be made public until
sometime next week, informed
persons Raid, its principal recom
mendations would include:
1. Provision for monthly pay
ments to the widows and depen
dent children of workers covered
by the social security act and for
$200 funeral expenses to the fam
ilies of "covered" worlters who
die before reaching the age of 65.
2. Some provisions . for the
wives and dependent children of
those over 65 receiving monthly
payments. (This would be desig
nated to aid the families of retir
ed workers whose incomes under
the system may be only $30 or $40
a month too small to provide the
necessities of life for more than
one person.)
3. Move the date for beginning
old age payments up from January
1, 1942, to January 1, 1940.
t. Broaden the act later to In
clude, probably in 1941 an esti
mated 6,000,000 farm and domes
tic workers.
5. Provide that payments to
married men (over 65) be $10
more a month than those to single
men. (Thus the top limit for
married men would be $85 a
month and the bottom $20. The

Changes Proposed at Local
Meeting; Poultry, Sheep
Losses Reported.
Owners of hounds and varmint
dogs met at the courthouse today
at a session called by the county
dog control board to discuss pro
posed changes in the present law
governing dog control districts.
The principal issue was a propos
al to provide a pack license for
hounds, instead of having each dog
licensed individually as at pres
ent. The proposal was favored by
the dog owners, who, however, voted
in favor of retaining the state law
providing for control districts.
Several interesting facts were
developed at the meeting, one be
ing n report that 00 proven killer
dogs were, shot during the past
year.
It also was reported that a great
Improvement has been made In
areas surrounding municipalities
which have passed dog ordinances,
but that unfavorable conditions
still exist around towns which do
not control dogs.

Cost Question Raised j
The latter provision was decid
ed upon, it was understood, to re
duce the total amount which op
eration of the insurance system
will cost, beginning in 1940, and
thus free some funds to help fi
nance the proposed new aids to
wives, widows and children.
Unformed persons said this
phase of the expanded program,
will raise costs to such an extent,
however, that the government
probably would have to put in
funds from other sources unless
the social security tux system was
revised.
One suggested solution, they
paid, was that the Increased costs
be divided equally among partici
pating employers and employes
and the government. Each worker
now covered is taxed one per cent
of his salary and an equal sum
is naid by his employer
The council members were re
potted to have decided against
any revision of the tax system at
this time because they believed
changes could be worked out mora
intelligently after actual opera
tions for two or three years.
The council members were rep
resented as hoping their recom
mendations for "liberalizing" the
social security act would result In
defeat of old age pension propos
als which they believed '"unsound."
