RELIEF ROLLS DUE 10 INCREASE SOU IS OFFICIAL F Depletion of Individual Re sources and Growing Winter Need Factors in Situation WPA Helps WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. (P) A fear that the number of people on relief may begin to increase again after declining steadily for months, was hinted in official quarters today. This, it was said, added to the com plexity of the budget problem, which president Roosevelt is discussing with relief administrators and other de partment heads. Working on the budget for next ( year, the administration indicates tt la seeking to retard the rise of pub lic debt, which reached an all-time high of 30.!55.7B1.987 yesterday. May Iemanrt Dole. Predictions that states and com munities may demand a continuation of the federal "dole" were heard last night after a report by Harry L. Hop kins, works progress administrator. The number of families and single persons drawing relief In large cities declined 9.4 percent in November as compared with October, he said. But he added that "in many cities deple tion of individual resources, aggra vated by the growing winter need. adversely affected the relief situa tion." Semi-official estimates have said that almost 11,000.000 persons were out of work in September, but fewer than half of them hod ever received relief. Officials hinted that only the fact that the federal government is sup Plying Jobs prevented, an Increase in the direct relief rolls in the cities during November. New York city, the first to reach Its full joos quota un der WPA, accounted for 35 per cent of the 9.4 percent relief decline. Income Tax Helps. The treasury's deficit for the fiscal year to date is $1,606,000,000, by com parison with 3,2Bi,ow,oui estimates for the full year. However, officials said it was encouraging to note that December thus far has shown a sur plus. This was attributed to income tax collections almost double those of the corresponding period last year. Among the latest to confer with President Roosevelt was Robert Pech ner, director of the Civilian Conserv ation corps. The chief executive seeks to reduce this corps from 480,000 to 300.000 men. Prom various sections, however, have come complaint, about plans to b&ndon some camps. Hints on Gift for Him Off ered for Perplexed (By Janet Wray Smith.) What with "only three more shop ping days before Christmas," we im agine that all the smart people have by this time completed their shop ping and are now resting in the smug complacence of a responsibility well disposed of. Which Is ell very well, but what of those who have been too busy, or who Just can't make up their minds? Believing that the incredibly swift flight of time may have caught some of you napping, we offer a few more gift suggestions in the slncero hope that they help simplify your prob lems. Gifts for men, of course, always present the greatest difficulty. There really Isn't a great deal to do about it, no matter how much you may want to glv "him" something dif ferent. But we won't Insult your intelligence by suggesting tics or shirt or socks. If he hasn't a cigarette lighter, and you can find one that really works, it's a good idea. We saw a very sub stantial chromium Ron son to sit on a table or smoking stand that looked like a good thing, it being squat and squarish. All sorts of smoking ap purtenances abound, and If he hasn't a lanse stock already and that sort of thing pleases him, they make good gifts. (We have been advised on good authority not to give men cigars, but feel this is something that depends on the recipient.) Speakng of clothes, newest In the way of pajamas are the paisley-print broadcloth or silk. Cocktj.il Jackets, a combination of smoking Jacket and bathrobe, three-quarter length, in dark shades of wool with silk trim, BY INVADING BAND OF JAPANESE SOLDIERS MOSCOW. Dec. 20.

Mongolia, that 200 Japanese and Manchoukuan soldiers had Invaded the Mongolian peoples' republic, killing a Mongolian officer and sev eral soldiers.

Each truck was said to have been occupied by 25 soldiers armed with rifles and machine guns. Iog Lick Stamps CORPUS CHRISTI. Tex.

Also new are the leather watch guards for the vest pocket, so con structed, as to be attachable to a wrist watch as well as pocket watches. You'U be killing the well-known two birds if you buy your husband one of the new-type radios to stand beside an easy chair, for almost any man will revel in it. and at the same time you'll make an attractive addi tion to your home. Or you might give him a radio for his car. Which brings us to the car gadget department, which is an Im portant one In the eyes of most men. Manufacturers are presenting us with an ever-increasing number of such appliances, and no car has everything. Sport or camping equipment Is an other excellent item, and is another thing men rarely have enough of. You may find that he'll be so en grossed in such a gift as to be a little lax in his attention to you. but that should flatter your Judgment. Also good are leather case. We noticed one in particular that we believe many men would like better than fitted ones. Deep and roomy, lined with rubber, it was a leather zipper case that contained no fit tings and only one compartment. Jewelry for men, as wel las women, Is always acceptable. If he doesn't like rings, why not a watchchain or band or cuff -links? You may select from a wide variety. We are going to bring shirts into the discussion after all, Just to tell you the latest are In dark colors, fiom e 1 1 ke 'em and some don ' t , so it's a good Idea to ascertain which before you buy.
