Blanks to Carry Message
From President Co-ope
ration of All Families Is
Sought in National Count
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. (API
Rftstratton blanks for the forth
coming unemployment census will
carry a message from President
Roosevelt asking the cooperation of
every family.
The cream-colored questionnaires
were made public today. On one side
are 14 Inquiries, and on the other Is
thl statement by the president:
"If you are unemployed or partly
unemployed and are able to work and
are seeking work, please fill out this
report card right away and mall it
before midnight. Saturday, November
90, 1037. No postage stamp Is needed.
Accuracy Important
"The congress directed me to take
this census. It Is Important to the
unemployed and to everyone in this
land that the census be complete,
honest and accurate. If you give
me the facts I shall try to use them
tor the benefit of all who need and
want work and do not now have it."
The cards wlU be distributed by
letter carriers on November 16 and
17 to the nation's 31.000.000 families.
Where there is more then one Jobless
person in a family, postmen will
leave extu. cards.
The questionnaire first asks names
and addresses and whether the regis
trant lives on a farm.
Then It Inquires:
"Totally unemployed and want
work? Partly employed and want
more work? Working at WPA (Works
Progress administration). NYA (Na
tional Youth administration) : CCC
(Olvll Conservation corps) or other
emergency work?"
Unemployed Defined
A statement prepared by advisers
to John D. Blggers, census adminis
trator, said:
"There Is an Important difference
between the partly employed and the
partly unemployed. For example, a
college student may work on Satur
days and la therefore partly employ
ed: but he la not partly unemployed
because he does not want more work.
"The census does not Include the
partly employed but only the unem
ployed and the partly unemployed."
Other queries ask whether regis
trants are able to work, their age,
raos. occupation, number of depen
dents, amount of work In the last
week and the laat year and Income
during the last week.
The explanatory statement said
the card should be filled out by every
person who regards himself ss un-
imployed ox partly unemployed, even
though the information he supplies
may not bear out his opinion.
Some Classes I'nemploysble
The card, it said, "la not Intended
for persons who have permanently
retired from work, for housewives
not employed for pay or for children
attending full time school.
Very young and very old workers
who return cards will not usually be
regarded as employable."
Officials aald they had attempted
lo make the questions simple, so that
most unemployed can fill out their
registrations at home. Booths will
be set up in various cities, probably
In p os to meet.
Mayor P. L. LaOuardia. of New
York, as president of the United
States conference of mayors, today
asked all mayors to assist with the
census.
"Since the unemployed are mainly
centered In the larger Industrial cit
ies." La Guard la said In a statement
released here, "it la urged that all
mayors do their part."
The New York mayor said census
bureau officials would ask mayors to
name local unemployment census
committees to assist.

STANDARD
SYMPHONY HOUR
On the evening of September 30 at 8:15 p. m. there
over NBC Red Network radio station,
the 520th Standard Symphony Hour, representing a
unique accomplishment in the completion of ten con
secutive years of broadcasting fine music. The same
day, at U o'clock in the morning, saw the beginning
of the tenth year of the Standard School Broadcast,
one of America's greatest educational programs, now
received in more than 3,000 schools on the Pacific
Coast and in thousands of homes.
Broadcasting was in its infancy when the Standard
Symphony Hour started. Many changes, many im
provements, have occurred in the technical and artistic
phases of the broadcasts, but this program remains
identical to the original ideals and objectives set for
it. It is also distinctive and perhaps unique in that it
contains no commercial or product advertising. With
this we are content. We know that the Standard
Symphony Hour has a larger audience than any other
Pacific Coast sponsored program and, from the marry
expressions received, we know how deep is the ap
preciation of our listeners.
In the Standard Symphony Orchestra there is toe finest
musical talent available, including i number of famed art
iats. In addition, from time to time, the Standard Symphony
Hoar presents t number of the leading orchestral organi
zations of the Pacific Coast, including the Los Angela
Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony, the Portland and
Ibe Seattle Symphony Orchestras. Among the famous con
ductors who hare appeared are: Hertz, Rodzinski, Dobrowtn,
Cameron, van Hoogstraten, Molinari, Sir Hamilton Hatty,
Klemperer, Monteux, Piastre, Blechschmidt, Merola, Lett,
Leschke, Nilson, Svedrovsley.
It is gratifying to know that each year of the Standard
Symphony Hour records an increasing popularity of
program. If you are not already acquainted with it, liaten

DENVER. Oct. 7. Pr Arthur J.
Altmeyer. chairman of the social se
curity board, told the American Fed
eration of Labor convention today
there was "no question" but that the
social security program would be Im
proved and broadened. j
Exclusion of farm labor, domestic j
help, seamen and others from the old
age Insurance program, Altmeyer said,
was due to "practical administrative
difficulties Involved."
The board definitely believed, he
added, that these classes of labor
eventually would be Included.
Altmeyer said the board believed
the country should consider seriously :
making the protection offered by the J
program "more adequate." j
Can Change Program.
"Some of the possible moves in this :
direction which have been suggested
are: Beginning monthly old-age ben-1
eflts sooner, raising the lower limits 1
of the benefit scale, paying more lib
eral benefits In the earlier years, and
providing survlvors''beneflts and ben
efits for physical disability," he said.
The program as it stood, Altmeyer
said, was "neither changeable nor
perfect." '
Yet, he said. 'lt has met urgent
present needs," and "established a
solid foundation for the future."
Before Altmeyer spoke, Joseph Pad
way. Milwaukee labor lawyer, told the
convention the A.F.L. should fight
for two amendments to the Wanner
labor disputes act at the next ses
sion of congress:
(1) To remove the labor relations
board's power to recognize an ' Inde
pendent" labor union as proper col
lective bargaining agency.
(2) To compel the board to hold
employe elections by craft In plnnts
or Industries employing more than
one craft.
"If the company union Is to be out
lawed, then Its illegitimate step
brother, the Independent union, must
be outlawed with It." Padway said.
Walt Hoard's IipcIhIih..
In connection with the proposed
craft-union amendment. Padway said
organized labor would await the labor
board's decision In the Allls Chalmers
(Milwaukee) case to determine what
its future position toward the Wagner
act would be.
IS the board ordered all the com
pany's employes to vote In one untt,
as the CI O. asked, he said, tha A.F.L.
should obtain either the craft union
amendment or ask repeal of the en
tire act.
The delegates applauded that state
ment.
Tom Mooney. Jailed 21 years ago
in connection with the San Francisco
preparedness day bombings, appealed
to the convention by telegram for
money to fight for his freedom.
Daniel J. Doherty. new American
Legion commander, also sent a mes
sage calling for continued alliance of
the Legion and the A P L. In striving
for accomplishment of their common
ideals.

Associated press Science Editor,
NEW YORK, Oct. 7. (AP) A big ,
business project to relieve about sixty '
million Americans of dyspepsia was
proposed to the American Public
Health association today.
The plan is for special bakeries to
make bread without wheat by substi
tuting other grains from all over the
earth, and for packing houses to
prepare lines of food with every sin
gle constituent listed on the labels.
The trouble aimed at, allergy, and
the wholesale remedy wero explained
by Walter C. Alvarez, M. U., of the
Mayo clinic. Rochester. Minn. Allergy
Is the newest branch of medicine,
dealing with the mysterious aensltlve

Ono touch of either may make them
ill. Two per cent of Americans. Dr.
Alvarez said, are so sensitive to some
kinds of food, that they becomo
deathly sick after eating It. Sixty per
cent are less seriously sensitive, but
suffer from what used to be call led
"dyspepsia" and "indigestion."
Why an allergy strikes Is unknown
It may attack at any time of life.
A person may become allergic to some
thing he ha eaten tor many years
without trouble. Chemists have sug
gested that allergy Is Increasing, one
of the result of the technological
progress which creates by the thou

In nature.
The common idea that this sensi

agination Is a mistake. Dr. Alvarez
paid. He cited cases of persons be
coming dangerously ill after eating
a minute amount of food to which
they were allergic, concealed without
their knowledge In soma tasty dish

public health service by labels which
