I VdH-s I SLEEPING FAMILY
By PAIX MAM.OV
(Copyright, 1035, By Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, April 33. Do not
ba surprised If a bright young agent
rin.Rn your doorbell shortly and starts
asking 3,310 sim
ple questions
about your home
life.
It Is an ides,
which one of the
brain trusters
thought up one
rainy afternoon
recently, when he
was looking out.

tually without effort. As he reasoned
It out, the government la trying to
plan for all Its people and here It
does not know much about you, at
least about your private life.
Thus evolved bureau of labor sta
tics form No. 807, with 18 pages of
simple questions. It has not been
made public yet, but It has been ap
proved by the bureau of home eco
nomics and considered at a private
meeting of the central statistical
board.
The Inquisitive thlrsters for knowl
edge have decided to try It out first
on families In rural communities un
der 2,500 population and Income
groups under 2.000 a year, thus cov
ering several million families. They
have figured it out that each family
will require from three to six hours
to answer the 3,310 simple questions,
depending on the intelligence of the
family and the state of household
bookkeeping.
The questions unquestionably will
strip civilization bare. They will not
only develop the number and price of
"union suits and combinations" pur
chased by each member of the family,
but also "corsets, girdles, brassieres,
bloomers, panties and slips (cotton,
silk or rayon)."
Recitation of the outstanding inqui
ries would take up most of this
whole page, but the following are fair
samples:
Time employed? Rate of pay? Earn
ings? (for each quarter year).
Rent from boarders? Other In
come? Expenditure for household
medicine, recreation and a thousand
other things?
Have you a dinette? Elevator? En
closed porch? Janitor service? Play
space?
How much laundry? Wet? Rough
dry? and (believe It or not) mangled?
How much atarch, blulngf, cleaning
powders, steel wool?
These, or course, are only prelimi
nary questions to get the lay of the
land. Next the agent will ask you to
Itemize your expenses by quarters for
301 different foods, including peanut
butter, figs, cod liver oil, soft drinks
consumed at home, "other drinks"
consumed at home." prunes, dates,
brussel sprouts and collarda. There
are no separate questions provided
for frankfurters and bologna, both
being combined under one heading,
apparently for the sake of brevity.
But the agent will want to know the
sex and ace of persons served at each
meal during the last seven days from
the famlfy fund.
The clothing question, however, is

Officials of the Chevrolet Motor com
pany closed Its Toledo plant today.
throwing 2.340 men out of work, as
members of the United Automobile
Workers Federal Union walked out on
strike.
A recent automobile labor board
election showed this Is one of the
few plants In the automobile Indus
try where a majority of the workers
are members of the union.
Fred Schwake, union representative,
said about 600 union men walked
out as the first shift of 1,100 work
ers came to work this morning, and
the other employes were sent home
by Hugh Dean, chief of manufactur
ing operations for the entire Chevro
let corporation.
Definitely Closed
Dean announced the company will
make no effort to operate the Toledo
plant, which he described aa "defln
Itely closed," thus affecting about
1 .300 additional workers who have
heretofore reported for work In a sec
ond shift.
Dean said the company had 3.340
men on Its local payroll and that the
shut-down affected all of them.
The strike, described by labor lead
ers aa of national significance, came
after company officials rejected the
union's demand for a closed shop,
although the company offered num
erous concessions Including a general
five per cent wage Increase and rec
ognition or seniority rights. The com
pany also offered to meet with duty
accredited representatives of Its em
ployes upon questions of grievances,
and promised no discrimination

Davidson testified that In May,
1033, E. A. Edwin, chief clerk at tha
park, approached him and said there
still were no funds In the park ap
propriation to pay for the boat and
they would have to pad the park par
rolls to secure the money Davidson
advanced to buy materials. '
Davidson testified he protested, but
was won over to the plan when he
was Informed he would not recover
the money advanced unless he ac
quiesced. Ha said Solinsky paid htm I33B In

ed In the park.
Solinsky Not Linked
Davidson did not link Solinsky dl-
dectly with the purported padding.
