More and Less..
WASHINGTON. May 27. While
President Roosevelt was composing
hts new labor standards of maximum
hours minimum wages, affecting
employers of r
more workers,
an eminent, un
prejudiced econ
omist was sug
gesting to a pri
vate audience of
distinguished of
ficials how to do
the same Job the
opposite way.
What the
workers of this
country may
need, he Indicat
I'uul .Ma 11 on.
ed, Is not less work for all and more
pay for the lowest class of workers.
but more work and more pay for
all. Or at least this la a reportorlal
paraphrasing of his careful remarks.
What he actually did was to submit
the results of a survey, showing that
expansion of business and living to a
real 1929 relationship would require
eight to nine million more workers
In the durable goods Industries alone.
There can be no doubt, he said,
that the work requirements to re
store living standards during the next
five years are more than sufficient
to absorb the entire volume, of un
employment now existing.
Standards.
But what Is more Important, the
eminent economist told his audience
that his computations were based on
an aasumed average working week of
43 hours.
The simple truth, he said, is that
this country has . not reached the
stage of technological development
at which It Is possible for the Amer I
lean people to obtain the standard
of living they desire on a 40-hour
week basis.
Some say Mr. Roosevelt heard about
the speech and that Is why he elim
inated the 40-hour week from his
proposal and left the number blank.
Others say the number of maximum
hours, wages, etc., was omitted be
cause his congressional leaders hag
gled for 35 hours.
At any rate, the point Is that here
is an economist with new evidence
pointing In a different direction, and

COMMITTEE LIFTS
SLOW DOWN FLAG
Secretary Told Program Is
'Pretty Good,' and Legal
Suits Might Leave No
Farm Program at All
WASHINGTON, May 37. &) A
flat endorsement of the proposed "ag
ricultural adjustment act of 1937"
by Secretary Wallace today met Im
mediately with a slow down signal
from the house agricultural chair
man.
Wallace asked congress to enact the
measure "at the earliest possible
date,' but Chairman Jones (D.-Tex.)
advised him congress should have
more definite Information.
"I am strongly In favor of the
principles and purpose of the bill,"
Wallace said. In testifying before
Jones' committee on the measure, ad
vanced last week by the American
Farm Bureau federation and other
farm organizations.
"We've got a pretty good program
In effect now," said Jones. In reply.
"Should the new program be tied
up by Injunction or be held Invalid.
we would find ourselves without a
farm program."
Purposes Told
Wallace, In his detailed endorse
ment of the bill, said It had two fun
damental purposes:
"Safeguarding of the nation's food
supply and protection of the farm In
come."
Officials of the Farm Bureau fed
eratlon have estimated, the program
would cost between $250,000,000 and
$750,000,000 annually. They placed
the "average" annual cost at approx
lmately $350,000,000.
. Wallace outlined features of the
bill as; ' - '
c 1. To protect consumers against
drought disasters such as in the years
of 1934 and 1038.
2. To minimize wide fluctuations
in the prices of baste farm commod
ities in the Interests of both con
sumers and producers.
3. To stabilize farm income as far
aa possible at a "fair" level.
The measure embodies such fea
tures as Wallace's "ever-normal"
granary, commodity loans, crop in
surance, soil conservation and pro
duction control.
"With Its protection for farm In
come through loans and payments,
the measure," the- secretary said,
"embodies the sound principle of eco
nomic equality for agriculture'
Validity Questioned
Wallace said questions about the
measure's constitutionality had been
raised.
"Under present conditions," he
said, "no one, of course, can safely
predict the constitutionality or un
constitutionality of pioneering legis
lation. "But If liberal decisions . should
continue to come from the supreme
court, this measure for the general
welfare would probably be sustained
as coming within the meaning or
the current Interpretations of the
constitution."
Earlier, Edward A. O'Neal, spear
head In the campaign for a broad fed.
eral program, said legislation -4s nec
essary If agriculture Is to keep pace
with labor and Industry.

they ever have been, but they need

RELIEF WORKERS
RIGHT TO STRIKE
Bill to Prohibit Walkouts
Brings Quick Repudiation
in House Texan Ve
hement Over Amendment
WASHINGTON, May 37. AP)- A
storm of controversy ' broke on the
house floor today over an, attempt
to write into the l,500,OO0,OO0 relief
bill an amendment denying relief
workera the right to atrlke.
Although the proposal, by Repre
sentative Fuller (D Ark.) was
shouted down, It precipitated a flood
of criticism. ' -
"This la the most ridiculous thing
I ever heard of." declared Repre
sentative Maverick (D., Tex.) "What
are we? Are we the house of lords
back In 1518: why, we must be
era cy even to listen -to things like
that." ....
The'atocky Texan vehemently de-
nounced previous amendments ear
marking the bill for flood control,
public works and other specific .pro
jects. "We've earmarked and earmarked,"
he shouted, "until the bill hasn't
got any eara left. We've earmarked
until It's no longer a relief bill.
. "It's a pork-barrel bill and a dis
grace to congress and the Democratic
party If we pass it'
(.Maverick said the' majority--bad
been tike bunch of Chlneselordl
fighting among themselves."
'"The Republicans have been lead
ing us around by their noses," he
said. When the house roared at hie
error, he yelled:
'It doesn't make any difference
whose nose It la: we haven't been
using our brains."
; Fuller had proposed . an amend
ment which would have mado In
eligible for relief any person s who
went1 on strike or incited or en
couraged strikes. 1 '
"I know this Is a very strong al
most radical amendment,' h said,
"but there's nothing un-American
about It. Why should anyone on
charity, accepting a dole, have the
right to openly and aboveboard de
nounce the congress and the relief
program because we are not paying
him enough wages?"
Fuller said most of the earmarking
of the bill waa due to the "ani
mosity and rulings" of Harry U
Hopkins, works progress adminis
trator. E

Army Engineers Recom

Planning Board Suggests
As the basis of the complete de
velopmont of water resources of the
Rogue river valley, a comprehensive
survey of the Rogue river drainage
basin will be made by army engin
eers provided the necessary appro
priation Is made by congress, It was
wd tea ttd Is ltt received today
by JUrl L. Janouch, chairman of the
Jackson county planning commission
irom'V, B. Stanbery, consultant of
the state planning board.
; It is now up to Jackson and Jose
phlno county organl rations, such aa
chambers of commerce, courts, plan
ning commission and conservation
groups, to unite In requesting con
gress to make the required appropria
tion and asking the war department
to list the survey for priority, Mr.
Janouch said. , -
. On February 8 Col. T. M. Robins,
army division engineer at Portland
submitted to the Chief of engineers
at Washington a report covering a
preliminary flood control investiga
tion made In the Rogue river valley
last summer and fall, the letter to
Mr. Janouch stated.
Tbe report and Col. Robins' rec
ommendations, authorised a compre
hensive survey of the Rogue river
drainage basin and this was approved
by the chief of engineess on March
31. the letter aald.
While the proposed survey would
be primarily for flood . control, It
would Include Investigation and study
ot other water uses and prospective
benefits which would Include pos
sible storage for Irrigation, future hy
dro-electric power development,' regu
lation of stream flow and recreation
facilities, Mr. Janouch said.
The proposed Investigation would
cover potential storage sites which
could be used for purposes other than
flood control and would In effect be
a complete survey of the water re
sources of the Rogue river system,
It was stated In Mr. stanbery's let
ter.
"This proposed survey would In
vest 1r ate the economic feasibility of
a coordinated water plan for the
Rogue similar to that recently rec
ommended by the army engineers for
the Willamette valley," Mr. Stanbery
wrote. 'l believe that evidence of
strong local Interest and support for
the Rogue flood control work would
be especially helpful In expediting ap
propriations and starting of work"
The army engineers' preliminary
report suggested possible construe-
tlon of a major dam on tbe Rogue
river near Gold Ray at the Junction
cf Bear creek where 380.000 acre feet
of water could be impounded. A new
power plant to be constructed at the
site would pump water for Irrigation
of about 35,000 acres, the report set
forth. Two alternate sites were con
templated on the upper Rogue either
above or below Trail.
' Another storage dam was suggest
ed on the Applegate river, below the
mouth of the Little Applegate near
Cameron. The dam would be 100 feet
high and would Impound about 30,-
000 acre feet of water. This, the re
port Indicated, would be sufficient
for irrigation of about 8.000 acres of
valley lands along the Applegate.
The state planning board. Mr- Stan
bery wrote, has recommended to the
national resources committee ttvj
grouting of Fish lake dam. the Lake
being a principal source of water for
the Medford Irrigation district: Irrt
glbiltty classification for all pro
tect lsnds In Jackson county; and Ir
rigation surveys for Wolf creek. Grave

SAN FRANCISCO, May 37. (Jf)
Pedestrians walked across San Fran
cisco's famed Golden Gate today for
tho first time as the world's largest
suspension bridge was opened to the
public.
One of the world's greatest engi
neering accomplishments, the 38,
000.000 span of concrete and steel
Joins San Francisco with Marin coun
ty, southernmost section of northern
California's redwood empire. It was
nesrly five years in the building.
Toll station offlclala estimated 8.
000 to 4.000 persons Jammed the San
Francisco approach of the bridge
when the coarse blast of a huge fog
horn In the middle of the- span sig
nalled the opening to pedestrians., at
8 a. m.
Co-Ed Oversteeps.
Many In tbe huge crowd had wait
ed for the opening since A p. m.
yesterday. Phyllis Klrachbaum, 17,
Mission high school girt of San Fran
cisco, was tho first to drop a coin
in the toll-box and dash across the
bridge. She was far ahead of Mil
dred Farquhar, 19, San Francisco
Junior college co-ed who slept under
the bridge approach all night, but
Jailed to awaken Jn time.
Stopped and asked how she elt
to be the first pedestrian to cross
tbe bridge, Miss Klrschbaum fairly
screamed:
"Let me go,' I want to get across."
The earliest arrival at the bridge
was Frank Brlssette, 20, of San Fran
cisco, who reached the bridge at 8
p. m. yesterday and slept In the flja
station. r
Emergency Caution.
Nearly 200 state and city police
patrolled the bridge to guard agslnat
suicide attempts. Six fire trucks and
six ambulances were also stationed
at the span.
The bridge will be opened to motor
trafflo tomorrow.
An anti-nut boycott threat by the
maritime federation of the Pacific
hung over the fiesta, and the city'
largest hotels still were tied up by
strike that was In its 27th day,
but neither of these appeared to af
fect the gaiety of San Francisco or
of Its thousands of visitors from all
parts of western America.
The boycott threat was voiced by
Z. R. Brown, San Francisco maritime
federation secretary, as the aftermath,
of an Incident Tuesday In which six
men tore a large piece out of a nasi
swastika flag hanging among decor
ations over Market street. Mayor
Angelo Rossi declined to order re
moval of all German flags, and the
boycott warning followed.
L'nrest Noted.
Some labor and liberal groups pro
tested the absence of the Soviet ham
mer and sickle from the decorations.
All other major nations were repre
sented. Two Soviet flags were re- ,
moved last week at the request cf

the parade would require five hours
