STIMULATION FOR
OF
Commerce Department Will
Be Urged To Accept
Cooperation Of Large
Group Business Leaders
WASH I NO TON. Bpt. 30. (AP)
A move to miuiter a formidable group
of business leaden to help the gov
ernment stlmulata prlvaU constnic
tlon la to be proposed to the com
merce department's business advisory
and planning council.
The proposal li to create a special
committee of business leaders to co
operate with the government. Behind
It If a strong belief that a sizeable
spurt In private building la essential
to recovery. Spurring the move Is
the opinion that 1934 construction
pending will drop below 1933 levels.
Rrpbrt Prepared
A report already has been prepared
for submission to the private con
struction committee of the council
and with that committee's likely ap-j
proval, to the council Itself.
This report says that of a normal
annual $11,000,000,000 construction
business 90,000,000,000 was private
spending and from 92,000,000,000 to
92.000,000,000 public.
Today, the report finds, private
construction has shrunk to 93,000,
000,000 annually. This means the
unemployment of 2,000,000 workers
at construction si tee and 2,000,000
more In supplying materials.
Council to Meet
Tomorrow's meeting of the council
under the chairmanship of 8. Clay
Williams Is Its sixth general gather
ing. Among subjects certain to receive
attention are reports on unemploy
ment Insurance by a committee
which Walter C. Teagle heads, and
one on credit needs of small Indus
tries by a committee of which E. C.
Van Dlcst Is chairman.

BRIDOEPORT, Neb. (AP) Little
Helen Selfert, 7 years old, unable to
speak and deprived of both sight and
hearing by Illness, la going to school
because the drought country haa a
heart.
Dollars and pennies grew to a fund
of mora than 92000 when the story
of "Nebraska's Helen Keller" became
known to newspaper readers. And
now Helen has been enrolled for the
fall term In Watertown, Mass.,-4 where
she can learn to converse through her
fingertips with the outside world.
Within three days after the child's
plight was made known the original
quota of 91000 wss passed.
Telling the ntate
It was Mrs. Viola B. Shepherd,
county superintendent of schools,
who called the case to the attention
of Nebraska people.
Two years ago George Selfert, the
father, a day laborer, walked Into the
county superintendent's office and
asked: "What are you going to do
about Helen? She's got to go to
school.'
"Well, we have plenty of schools
and we'll put ber In one," replied
Mrs. Shepherd.
"But you don't understand," the
laborer pleaded. "My Helen Is differ
ent; she can't see or hear anything
at all."
Wrote to Helen Keller
Then Mrs. Shepherd learned that
Nebraska has facilities to educate the
blind or the deaf, but not the deaf-
blind. Helen lost her sight and hear
ing after a three-month siege of spi
nal meningitis at Saginaw, Mich.,
when she was two years old.
At Ann Arbor skilled surgeons said
noticing could be done then perhaps
later. Four free operations by an
Omaha specialist convinced him he
could not help.
Mrs. Shepherd wrote to Helen Kel
ler, who received the letter In Scot
land, and referred It to the Ameri
can Foundation for the Blind. That
group suggested the Perkins Institu
tion, equipped to teach the triply
handicapped. The problem of 9600
tuition and Incidental expenses en-,
tered. The newspaper appeal was the j
last hope.
Railroads donated free transporta
tion. Miss Margaret Hosher, 27-year-old
school teacher, has sgreed to de
vote seven years to aiding Helen after
the year at Watertown, and haa ac
companied the child to school.
With Helen's arrival the deaf-blind
population of the school has been
raised to five. There have been only
22 such cases enrolled In the school.

Not A Single Enduring Gov
ernment Established Dur
ing 15 Year Struggle
For World Revolution.
Br Joseph H. Balrd
United Press Staff Correspondent
MOSCOW (UP) Despite 18 years
of struggle for world revolution by
the Comintern, It has not succeeded
in establishing a single enduring
communist government, unless some
of the provincial governments of
China may be so considered.
Communism in Russia was estab
lished before the formation of the
Comintern. Communism In Austria
enjoyed but a brief reign. And many
authorities doubt that the so-called
Communist provincial governments In
China even have a speaking acquain
tance with the economic philosophy
of Karl Marx.
Formed In 1910
The Comintern, or international
revolutionary movement, waa formed
March. 1019. Eight communist par-
tics, headed by that of Russia
had invited all revolutionary po
litical groups to meet there to form
the Comintern, or Third Internation
al.
After breaking through the military
blockade which then encircled Rua-
sta, 51 delegates from 30 countries met
here. Under the leadership of Lenin,
they Issued a manifesto to the prole
tariat of the world calling on It to
overthrow "burgeola" governments.
The second congress met here In
July, 1920. In the period between the
season ! second and third congresses there
were some revolutionary successes
abroad. Workers In Italy hsd seized
factories. The Red army was advanc
ing on Warsaw. There had been rev
olutionary uprisings In Oermany. The
Comintern became more hopeful. But
all these uprisings proved abortive.
Third Congress
The third congress, which met In
June, 1921, Included some 905 dele
gates from 52 countries. The fourth
congress, In November, 1922, waa the
last In which Lenin, the father of
modern communism, participated, for

he died before the next congress met.
At this session be made his famous
report on the first fire years of com
munism in Russia, intended as aa In
spiration for the establishment of
other reroluttonary governments.
When the fifth congress met In
June. 1924, It waa able to muster only
510 delegates from 49 countries, show
ing a retrogression In the world wise
communist movement since 1921. This
congress was notable for the opening
of what was to be communism's great
est internal struggle that between
the Trotskyltea and Sta Unites.
Many Changes
It now has been six years since the
last meeting of the Comintern. This
Is due to several factors. First, after
Stalln'a victory over the Trotelcyltes.
who held that communism could not
be established, in the Soviet union
alone, but must advance universally,
the Russian communist party has
been more concerned with Its Russian
program than with world revolution.
Also, due to the withdrawal of some of
the Comintern's component parties
and, until the depression became i
acute, the dwindling changes of revo-!
lutlon abroad, there seemed little
hope of progress.
But Comintern leaders are con
vinced, apparently, that the time now
has come to renew the fight for the
overthrow of capitalist governments.
At their forthcoming conference, they
probably will map a new campaign.

PARIS (AP) Unemployment In
Prance Is growing teadlly a the na
tion feels belatedly the aeverlty of
hard times.
The Jobless on the dole, the only
official Index, Increased 37 per cent
within the past year until 325,800
were receiving relief funds In August.
Half as Bad as America
Some statisticians estimate the
actual number of unemployed at
more than 1,500.000 figuring that
only a fifth apply for government
funds, others living off their savings
or their families.
Even so, France's unemployment Is
proportionately only about one-half
that attributed by the French to the
Dnlted States. If France, wlh some
40.000.000 Inhabitants had the same
percentage of Jobless as America,
where there are supposed to be 10..
000,000, Franc would have spproxi
mately 3.50.000 out of work.
Government Uunt, Jobs
While unemployment always grows
In winter so that the peak In Franc,
remains 350,000 out of work iMt
February, the Increase marked up in
August apparently la not seasonal,
since enly 337,732 were on the relief
rolls at the same time in 1933.
The government, with unemploy
ment costing It approximately 133,.
000.000 yearly, Is seeking to find work
for the Idle, of whom 156,000or
nearly half are In the Seine depart

urbs. The principal scheme to date
la a public works plan, pending before
parliament.
