' "As a consequence,' the slack In unemployment is not being taken up as rapidly as conditions demand. The one remedy that must be employed is a six hour day. five day week.

EXIM SESSION IS m LIKELY (Continued from pag 1) taking the lead, of the $6000 to 18000 extra expenditure involved in the one . week's deliberations.

It was clear yesterday that there would be a special session and it was equally definite that the governor thinks the need of the state for new taxes to handle relief this winter and a law to provide for disbursing the relief funds, were both pressing. But there must be more discussion, more crystallization of sentiment, more unification of views before the expense to the taxpayer be gins. , . a a THRftJJNO DRAMA Or tOVC AND Aovorrupfl Contmuom fcnw tuily I 9. m. f 11 9. mZ NEW SHOW Saturday Night AESOP'S FABLE I: "Modern Lledlef'y Is i Play Choice r For FirstShow "Modem Medley,: prlsa - . win ning comedy - drama of the na tional play,- writing contest con ducted br Johns Hopkins univer sity "playshop" two years ago, written by Diana Rogge of Balti more, Md., has-been selected as the opening offering of Chemeke ta players, Salem's own play pro ducers, which group reorganised Wednesday night In Kelson au ditorium, i Casting of parts for this pro duction will be the business of this evening at Nelson audtior lum.
