NAVY ENLISTMENT QUOTA INCREASED It is estimated that about 17,003 young men will be enlisted In the United States navy during the fiscal year beginning July 1, Ernest M. West, recruiting officer here, stated yesterday In describing the advan tages of a naval career. The allotment represents an in crease over the . authorized enlist ments for this year and so the oppor tunities for promotion should be greater, Mr. West said. During the current year more than 33,000 men received advancements, he added. To procure highly skilled technic ians the navy now gives specialized training In more than 50 trades and professions, more than 50 per cent of the men today being navy -schooled specialists, Mr. West said. These craftsmen, he assorted, are paid S60 to 1 57 a month In addition to board and lodging. Free medical and dental care, opportunity to trav el, athletic pastimes and entertain ment were other advantage? of a naval career cited by Mr. West. Only young men between 17 nnH as who are otherwise qualified are eligi ble for enlistment. Anvons wiirtro detailed Information may write or consult Mr. West at his office In the Medford federal building.

M and a myriad other fields had forced him to curtail his activities He had forsaken his golf, his church- going, and his whimsical practice of giving away shiny new dimes. But his hope of becoming a full-fledged centenarian seemed likely to be fulfilled. Then, last Friday, he became rest less. He complained that he could not sleep. His condition was regard ed by no means as alarming, how ever, and he was taken downstairs in an elevator and wheeled out into the garden. For several hours, he basked in the Florida sunshine and appeared refreshed. on Saturday morning he conferred briefly with his senior secretsry. Ward Madison. "I am very tired," he said wist fully. At noon. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. made a routine telephone call from New York and was assured there was no immediate cause for alarm and nothing about his father's condi tion to warrant a special trip to Florida. Coma Before End. Saturday night he lapsed Into a slight coma. The heart that drove him through all the tempestuous years of building an "oil empire.' pulsed with a slowly weakening tempo. At 3 a.m., he roused to murmur something to his valet of 20 years. John.H. Yorkdl. He asked to be rniscd higher in his bed, and when It was done, he whispered thinly: "There, that's better." So far as is known, they were his last words. Apparently he had no realization that the end was near. He closed his eyes, and two hours later, in the hush of the Sabbath dawn, he breathed his last. Beyond the statement that his estate was "relatively small," no Im mediate Information was forthcom ing as to how much the one-time multi-millionaire retained for his own personal needs. He had disposed of most of his vast holdings, however, as early as 1022. In that year, according to a report to congress, he paid a tax of only $12,063.03 on his net Income. One Day a Year. Almost a legendary figure to gen erations whiah have grown up in the past 30 or 40 years, the "modern Midas," as he was sometimes called, bobbed Into public attention with clock-like regularity once a year on his birthday. Otherwise, except when his natal anniversary brought forth the family pictures of his frail, stoop-shouldered figure with the silvery toupee, the sunken, parchment-like face and deep set, twinkling blue eyes, he lived in seclusion an almost for gotten anachronism of America's roaring industrial pioneer days. Yet to the last he clung tenac iously to life. He was supremely confident he would reach 100. Then," he said, with a quiet chuckle, Til really begin to liw!" I'nrealtzed Dream. " His major concern. In the lsst two decades, was to prolong his life as much as possible. Physicians con stantly checked on his physical con dition, watching his diet, regulating his exercise and relaxation. His habits were clock-like, all ordered with a view to conserving his health. Although his sight had dimmed in recent years, he retained acute hear ing to the end. and It was said that he could "hear a whisper clear across the room." Despite his advanced years, he kept well Informed on current world events, having his secretary read him the newspapers every morning. It was said he followed with keen In terest the romance of former King Edward VIII and his American -born bride-to-be. Mrs. Wall la Wsrfleld. The man who earned pennies at 7. dollars at 10 and untold millions at 70. pyramiding his savings into the Standard Oil trust which once controlled three-fourths of the coun try's petroleum output, turned alt his energies in the last half of his life to giving millions away. ''I believe It Is every man's relig ious duty to get all he csn honestly, and to give all he can," he said once. He practiced his precept to a greater extent, both ways, than any other figure in history. Institutions In far lands benefitted to the extent of huge sums from his highly organized beneficence uni versities, hospitals, scientific research laboratories, churches and other wor thy causes flourished under the gen tle rain of Rockefeller dollars. His greatest contribution was to the Rockefeller foundation, which re ceived a total of 182 .85 1.480.90. while other major donations In cluded $129,209,187.10 to the general education board. t59,931,891.62 to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re search, and 34.708.37fi.28 to the University of Chicago.

Ten states and the District of Columbia enacted legislation Independent of tr-e federal act. The measure lmpcaed a tax on em ploytrs' payrolls ranging from 1 per cent In 193 to 3 per cnt In 1838 and thereafter. It was not applt cable to agriculture labor, domestic service, seamen and employes of the federal and state- governments. "The social security act." Cardoze halcl. "is an attempt to find a meth od by which public agencies msy work together to a common end. "Every dollar of the new taxes." he added, "will continue In oil likeli hood to be used aa needed by the nation aa long as states are unwill ing, whether through timidity or for other motives, to do what can be done at home. "At least the Inference Is permis sible that congress so believed, though retaining undiminished free dom to spend the money as it pleased. Relief Xeed Weakened "On the other hsnd. fulfillment of the home duty will be lightened and encouraged by crediting the tsxpayer upon his account with the treasury of the nation to the extent that his contributions under the laws of the locsllty have simplified or diminished the problem of relief. ... "Duplicated taxes, or burdens that apprach them, are recognized hard ships that government, state or na tional, may properly avoid. "If congress believed that the gen eral welfare would be better pro moted by relief through local units than by the system then In vogue, the co-operating localities ought not In all fairness to pay a second time. "Who then la coerced through the operation of this statute? Not the taxpeyer. He pays In' fulfillment of the mandate of the loal ir?l'- -Not the state.

PRESIDENT ASKS PASSAGE OF NEW WAGEJIOUR LAW (Continued from Page One.) wages, unduly long hours, or under conditions which violate the rights of labor by the use of strike-breakers or spies." 40c Hour Minimum , Connery told newsmen the bill would establish a 40-cent "floor" be low which "the hourly wage ought not to fall" and a 33-40 hour work week "beyond which the working week should not be stretched." The labor board would have broad power to adjust these llmttitlons for Individual industries. Allowing for a few exceptional trades and permitting longer hours on the payment of time and one- half for overtime, the president said a "general maximum working week" should not "be difficult to define." "Allowing for appropriate qualifi cations and general classifications by administrative action," he added, 'lt should also be possible to put some floor below which the wage ought not to fall. liars Child Labor "There should be no difficulty In ruling out the products of children from any fair market. "And there should also be little dispute when It comes tp ruling out the Interstate markets products of employers who deny to their worker the right of self -organization and Collective bargaining, whether through the gear or labor spies, the bait of company unions, or the use of strike breakers. "The abuses disclosed by the Inves tigations of the senate must be promptly curbed." The president said the proposed federal legislation should be "a stim ulus and not a hlnderance to state action." Although a good portion of .the floods of American' Industry move In Interstate commerce and will be cov ered by the legislation recommended, he said there were many purely local pursuits and services which no fed eral legislation could effectively cov er. "No state la Justified," he said, "in sitting Idly by and expecting, the fed eral government to meet atate re sponsibility for those labor conditions with which Ihe state may effectively deal without fear of unneighborly competition from sister states, 'Our problem," he said, "la to work out In practice those labor standards which will permit the maximum but prudent employment of our human resources to bring within the reach of the average man and woman a maximum of good and of services conducive to the fulfillment of the promise of American life."
