MEDFORD RIBUNE Today By Arthur Brisbane After Labor Day. The Big Question Mark. Plenty for 100,000? Or Enough for 1,000,000? Copyright King Feature Synd., Inc. Labor Day 'has gone. The problem of unemployed labor remains. What is to be donef A be ing from another planet might find the problem simple. It comes to this: "How can you take of idle, hungry men in a land with unlimited sup plies of food, plus ' unlimited supplies of money?" Nearly five hundred millions to bo spent on buildings by the national government are ex pected to provide jobs for 100, 1 000 men. Good news for the building trades. But 100.000 Jobs In one set of trades mean little In a problem Involving tlx to eight millions unemployed. Something else Is needed to take care of what Mr. Woll, of the American Federation of Labor, calls "The com ing winter that will test our faith In each other," and to avoid "lawless ness most widespread In the nation's history." predicted by Clarence Dar row. "Jobs are the workers" prosper ity." says Mr. Won. Errs are the noultryman's pros perity, but suppose the hens do not lay. This seems to be Industry s moulting season. Mr. Woll says: "Those who control work opportuni ties should contribute Jobs." Industry cannot contribute Jobs If It cannot sell what the Jobs produce. Tie payroll of this nation Is sixty Miiian dollars a year. You cannot produce that like a rabbit from magician's hat. 1 i Mr. Woll eloquently denounces "the paradox of starvation beside the beans of plenty." A government wondering what to do with 200.000,000 bushels of wheat while families are hungry, presents a sad spectacle. There Is abundance of food and plenty of money. The government has credit almost lnexhausume. But supplying money only for building and road construction will solve no problem. Everybody expresses a solemn hor ror of the dole, that, according to Doctor Butler, "would turn ua into s nation of self-made beggars." Then, what is to be done? If you cannot give a hungry fam i lly money to buy food, horrible ae that suggestion seems, what will you do? Will you advise the white collar man. his wife and children to learn brick laying and work on a postofflce Job? If they learned, the union would not let them work. Flvee hundred million dollars in building Jobs will supply good wages for 100,000 men and a decent living for their 100,000 families. Five hundred million dollars In directly to those in need, without de duction of profit for contractors, ma terials, etc., would supply $S00 a. year, the living minimum, to ONE MILLION men. and thei. 1.000.000 families.

Smith, Insecticide manufacturer, has promised to tell a grand Jury all the details of an alleged insurance plot in which he disappeared last winter, leaving an embalmed body of an unidentified man In his burned automobile. The county attorney made this statement after officers reported that Mrs. Smith had signed a statement admitting trhat her husband's disap pearance was part of a plan whereby she was to collect his $60,000 in life Insurance policies. Smith, who once was the candidate of the farmer-labor party for gover nor of Iowa, was held In Jail at Adel, while his wife was in custody of state agents at Des Moines.

(AP) Trying to fly non-stop, 4,465 miles across the Pacific from Japan to Seattle in a plane which had failed other aviators twice in similar attempts, Don Moyle. motorcycle salesman, end C. A. Al len, former purveyor of washing ma chines, presumably were well on thetr way today. They took off from Samushiro beach, 875 miles north of here, at 5:30 a. m., today (3:30 p. m. E. S. T., Monday) with 1,020 gallons of gaso line, one of the heaviest, fuel loads ever lifted by a single motored plane, and began what Is considered per haps the most hazardous of all ocean flight undertakings. Sighted Off Erlmo An hour and ten minutes after the takeoff they were sighted off Point Erlmo, Hokkaido Island, 110 miles from Samushiro Beach, having set a 100-mile an hour pace for the f'rst stages of their trip. Their route as mapped followed close to the Kur tle Island cha'n, that foggy stretch which gave so1 much trouble recently to Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lind bergh on their flight to Japan. However, aviation authorities said Moyle and Allen probably would keep well to seaward of the Island chain to avoid fog and possible complica tions which might arise if they pass ed over any of the fortified arena there. Head for AUu , They were believed to be heading in almost a bee-line for Attu, the westernmost island of the Aleutian chain. After passing Point Erlmo, Japan did not hear from them again. They carried no radio and their course took them somewhat to the north of the steamship lane. Hence there was little possibility of their being heard from until they ap proached the American coast. Moyle calculated the flight would take 39 to 44 hours, depending on the weather. This would take them into Seattle between 3:30 and 8:30 a. m., Wednesday (Pacific time). 4 WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.- (AP) Final decision on location of the Pacific Northwest national soldiers' home to be placed in Oregon, Is look ed for within two or three days.
