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

ALL PUBLIC L
WITHDRAWN UNDER
PRESIDENTIAL ACT
WASHINGTON.
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."
For years ranchers of Seaside have
complained that herd of elk have rav
aged their crops, destroyed their
fences and frightened their dairy
herds.
Many elk have been slain by the
Irate farmers and attempts at prose
cution have been futile.
PACIFIC DEFENSE
WASHINGTON. Feb. fl W More
powerful bases on the west coast ad

disclosed today to be a primary go!

Plans for a 120,000.000 program to

docks at Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, Cw-s
Solo in the Canal Zone, and on the
Pacific coast have been laid before
Chairman Vinson D.. G.J. of ttu
house naval committee.
The money would come from th
1300.000.000 labeled for normal fed
eral public works in the government'
1936 budget. A small share of the
funds would b expended on the At

EIGHT
ON RELIEF WAGES
WASHINGTON. Feb 9. 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

AID SETH PARKER
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9. (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.
PLEASES BIG CROWD
One of the most successful public
dances of the season was given Frl
day night at Dreamland hall with a
record crowd enjoying the evening to
the tantalizing music of Fred Wol
cott and his Californium.
Tills 12-plece orchestra was pro
noti need an unusually good group of
entertainers both at rhythmic, com
pelling dance numbers, and at vocal
and Instrumental novelties.
"Eddie" McKean was the director,
Caezar Grazlano Impressed with his
