PAGE FIVE 10 GET PENSIONS IS EXPERT ESTIMATE Security Board Costs Differ From Congress Figures Early Action Seen Kin and States to Contribute By W. B. RAGSIMLE .Woclutrri Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. (AP) The administration today nt to the . capltol an estimate that less than a million persons would be eligible for old age pensions and that the total cost to the states would be about $111,000,000 annually. Some congressmen have estimated that the pension plan would cost around 450.000.OO0 yearly. The table, drawn up by the eco nomic security committee, was based on the number of persons above es who are receiving relief In the states plus those who are getting old age pensions In states that have pension systems. For Virginia, where Senator Byrd (DD.. Va.) had estimated the cost would be between $12,000,000 and 20.000.000 a year, the committee es tlmated that $350,000 would be re nutred. This was based on the basis of a state contribution of $20 month, distributed In the same pro portion as relief now Is In that state. The figures went to the capltol while the senate finance committee was receiving testimony from spokes men for the Illinois Manufacturers' association and others opposing the economic security plan. The house ways and means committee, after weeks of hearings, was settling down to consideration of the measure in executlvo session preparatory to a re- vamping for bringing It before the house. Only Democratic members of the committee took part in today's discussions. The committee's figures showed 736.342 persons above 65 on federal relief rolls, plus 179,557 who are re ceiving old age pensions from the 21 states In which the laws are in ef fect. Laws have been passed In seven other states but are not yet In ef fect. Census figures for 1930 showed 6,- 634,000 persons In the country over 65. Some witnesses before the con- gresslonal committee have estimated that half of these would be eligible for pensions. Some members of con gress figured that on this basis the yearly cost to the states would be around half a billion dollars. In explaining the estimate. Dr. Ed win E. Wltte, executive director of the economic security committee, which worked out the plan for Presl dent Roosevelt, said that, while half of the persons over 65 did not have means of their own support, the ma porlty were now being taken care of by relatives and friends and It was f rnntimnlBljiil ftitc tt'niill mntlnilK.

Feb. 9. (AP) nation-wide con In preparation for i servation program, President Roose velt today withdrew all remaining public lund from use. His order, completing that of last September, affects about 1.200.000 acres, and puts the final touch, on withdrawal from settlement, location, sale or entry of the entire public do main. The November order was to make possible segregation of 80.000,000 acres as permanent livestock grazing areas under the Taylor act. The president said today's with drawal, applicable to 12 states, was "pending determination of the most useful purposes to which they may be put In furtherance of the land program and conservation and de velopment of natural resources. He added that this land, not suit ed to profitable growing of crops, was destined for the conservation and de velopment of forests, soil, and other natural resources, the creation of grazing districts, and the establish ment of game preserves and bird ref uges. Although the Interior department has not yet made final selection of the 80.000.000 acres of grazing .land. Chairman Dcroun (D.t La.) of the house public lands committee has In troduced a bill to extend it to the re maining areas suitable for livestock. Little of the land withdrawn to day was grazing acreage, and offici als said much of It would be uted for forest and game preserves. A leg islative program to end Airther home- steading and set up permanent uses for the acreage was authoritatively reported to have been drafted and is to be submitted to congress soon. RKED BY ELKS ASTORIA, Ore., Feb. 9. ( AP) The county grand Jury today recom mended that an open season be al lowed for the killing of elk In Clat sop county. The recommendation was made, the Jury said, "after a thorough Investi gation of the elk 'situation in the Necanlcum valley, and of the recent killing of elk by farmers."

P, The schism between organized labor and the administration over recovery codes appeared today to be headed toward a wider gulf of disagreement over the M.880.0OO.0OO work relief bill. With administration leaders claim ing sufficient strength to overturn the senate appropriations committee decision for prevailing wages in what ever communities public works are undertaken, word passed around the capltol that the White House was in for one of Its hardest battles when this Issue reaches the floor, regard less of what the committee does. Counter-balancing this was the pre diction of one of the shrewdest pol iticians In the senate that, generally speakinjr. the Republican Independ ents and the Democrats would join to put the bill through in virtually the same way it passed the house Senator McKellar (D., Tenn.), aftur conference with President Roose velt, predicted the prevailing wage clause would be eliminated by the committee when It takes up the oill Monday for final action. 1 don't think we should entice men to leave regular Jobs to go on work relief," he said on leaving tiv White House. SPECIAL SESSION TO FINISH LABOR (Continued from Page One) Is no constitutional limit on regular sessions. Battle lines were being formed the past few davs on what lobby observ ers declare will be one of the hardest fought issues In the remaining days of the legislature attempted enact ment of the "cocktail" liquor bill. Defenders of the Oregon liquor control system, ns exemplified by the so-called Knox act of 1933. dcclnrcd themselves to be digging themsslves in for a prolonged siege by the forces urging the private sale of hard liq uors in hotels and restaurants to be served with bona fide meals. The fight will center around house bill 206. Introduced by Represents live Howard LaTourettc and Senator Jack Allen aftej the former had made an unsuccessful fight to secure com mittee sponsorship of his amendment and after the state liquor control commission passed final say on this matter to the state legislature. The Issues will decide whether or not hotels and restaurants are to bo permitted to serve cocktails and oth er hard liquors by the glass, and whether wines containing up to 24 per cent of alcohol by weight are to be legal merchandise for private deal ers. Both the cocktai and wine bills are in the hands of the house com mittee. Progress of the so-called major leg islation to date shows that only one has been passed by the session that creating the state planning board. YOUR HEALTH I r ' Each brtt ft Certified Cr'tl.

(AP) The Duke of Gloucester, third son of King George, figured In an unsched uled adventure today when the cruis er Australia headed for a spot 300 miles north of Tahiti, where the four masted radio broadcast schooner Scth Parker was reported battling a storm but riding it out safely. The cruiser, a unit of the Austral ian navy with the duke as a passen ger, turned off her course after Phil Hps Lord, radio entertainer and mas ter of the widely publicized schoon er sent out a stream of messages say ing he believed his vessel was In dan ger because of heavy sens. The schooner did not send out SOS calls, however. At 1:35 p. m. eastern standard time the radio of the seth Parker was heard to say "everything o. K. now." It added however, that the "owner" didn't think so. The sender expressed the belief "he (the owner) should go to sleep now. Has been up all night." An hour later the schooner's radio reported the situation was the same. This was construed by listeners to mean the ship was considered In no danger but that the owner still was worried. The cruiser, taking the duke to Ta hiti from Australia, was about 200 miles from the Seth Parker when she turned off her course to offer as sistance If necessary. Nnval radio stations here and at Honolulu, Intercepted messages from the radio artist's craft which told of a battle with a storm. There was no mention of Injury to any of the 13 persons aboard nor damage to the schooner except that the regular radio apparatus was out of order. Repeated mention of fear of cap sizing when "solid walls of water" came over the side during "bad squalls" was made In the messages.
