France May Curb
Arms Shipments
a
Rumania, Yugoslavia Eyed
Askance; too Friendly
with Fascist Pair
PARIS, Jan. 1 - OP) - Officials
said tonight the French govern
ment had ordered a virtual em
bargo on armament shipments to
Rumania and Yugoslavia, long
France's allies, because of their
growing friendship with Italy and
Germany.
Members of the chamber of
deputies disclosed Edouard Da
ladier, minister of national de
fense, had ordered suppression of
government licenses for exporta
tion of military supplies to those
countries "until further notice."
This order, it was understood,
was issued with the consent of
the whole cabinet, which was said
to be alarmed by the apparently
pro-nazl policies of Rumania's
new premier, Octavian Goga, and
the increasingly close relations
between Yugoslavia's Premier
Milan Soydadinovich and Italy.
Andrien Therry, French minis
ter at Bucharest, was said to have
received Instructions to ask Goga
to explain his future policy with
regard to France, Rumania's ally
since the World war.
The cabinet was said to have
recommended to Czechoslovakia
that she take action similar to
France's. Czechoslovakia's huge
Skoda munitions works long have
supplied arms to Rumania and
Yugoslavia, her allies in the litUe
entente.
The deputies emphasized that
the temporary embargo was de
signed l ecially to bring the two
nations . oack to reason." Neither
Germany nor Italy, with which
they are accused of flirting, is be
lieved by French leaders to be in
a position to finance rearmament
efforts of Rumania and Yugo
slavia. Probe Asked Into j

New water mains representing

Auguat 'l, 1935, for operation by
Salem s municipal water depart
ment will have been laid by Ap

schedules, according to data com
piled by Manager Cuyler Van
Patten. This percentage does not
include the 17-mile Salem-Stay-ton
gravity supply pipeline.
The new mains already laid
and materials for others to he
put in by April together will have
a combined length of 10.843
miles. Of this amount part con
sists of replacements of old mains
and' the remainder of mains in
new locations.
General improvement of water
service throughout the city as a
result of this extensive main
laying program was predicted by
Manager VanPatten. He pointed
out; that the program includes
not! only the big cross-town 12th
street feeder but also numerous
large cross-lines and several im
portant links in the loop circuit
eventually to encircle the entire
city near the city limits. The
loop lines connect up many old
dead end lines to bring about
better circulation of the water
and. also to -increase pressure.

Doesn't Mean That Many

Official Report
Two Million of Signers
Getting "Work Relief,
President Is Told
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1-UP-
The national unemployment cen
sus informed President Roosevelt
today that the total of the. sta
tion's nnemployed lay between 7,- "
822,912 and a possible maximum
of 10,870,000. .
Its findings were, based upon
the fact that a voruntary registra
tion of the nnemployed conducted
between November 5 and Novem
xer 20, 1937, showed 7,822,912 to
be, by their own testimony, out
o work and .wanting work, whae
a simultaneous house - to - nouse
canvass in selected areas indicat
ed that this total was but 72 per
cent complete.
In making this report to tho
chief executive, John D. Biggers,
administrator of the census, said -it
was important to bear in mind
that "It is not to be assumed that
because a certain number of peo
ple are jobless, the same number
of Jobs must be created to bring
a return to normal conditions.
He added:
"When the usual family bread
winner is idle, two or perhaps
more members of the family may
enter the labor market. Converse
ly, when the breadwinner is sat
isfactorily reemployed other mem
bers of the family may withdraw
from the labor market.
- "Then, too, you recognixe, but -it
should perhaps be emphasized,
that the number of people who
reported themselves ' as: ; Unem
ployed should not "be confused
with the number of people who
need ii financial assistance or re
lief. Many people consider them
selves unemployed who are finan
cially not compelled to work.
''Irrespective of their need,
when they" seek employment, they
enter the labor market and com
pete with others who have job
or vitally need " Jobs. : They are
therefore, a factor In the unem
ployment problem though they
may never seek relief.V
Of the 7,822,812 who reported
themselves unemployed, a total
of 2,001,877 were emergency re
lief workers. Women who volun
tarily registered as out of work
comprised 1,996,699, Including
those doing, emergency . relief
work. - "
"The unemployed." Biggers let
ter to the president said, "may be
divided into two classes. One
class; represents those regular
Workers for wages who always
work, when work is available, re
gardless of their immediate econ
omic status. Work to them is not
only a means of livelihood bat a
habit of life. These unemployed
are clearly a part of the regular
labor market.
"There is also a second group
consisting ot those who are not
regular workers for wages such as
housewives who seek wage jobs
only .when the family breadwin
