JOBLESS CENSUS
TO BE COMPLETE
Total Will Be Announced As
f Soon As Statistical Ex
perts Finish Tabulation
Accuracy Is Intention
By John lllghtower.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13AP)
An official of the national unem
ployment en bub off 1c said today
that the number of unemployed per
sons In the country will be known
by Christine.
The total, along with other facte
about the Jobless, will be announced
he mid, just as soon, as a staff of
statistical expert has finished tab
ulating end checking results of
voluntary count to lie made Novem
ber' 16 and 17.
In those two days every family In
the country will receive a census card.
A message from President Roosevelt,
printed on the card, will request
every unemployed and partly em
ployed person to fill In the answers to
14 questions end put the card In
the nearest mailbox by midnight of
November 30. The pos toff Ice depart
ment will handle distribution and
collection,
' Accuracy Aim.
To assume the accuracy of the
count exhaustive checks are to bo
made before the tabulation is com
pleted. ; Plans call for a house-to-house
canvass of the unemployed In repre
sentative cities, towns and rural
areas In ell aectlons of the country.
Results of the canvass will be com
pared with results of the voluntary
registration to show the percentage
of error In the voluntary count and
give a reliable basis for making cor
rections:
Accuracy checks will also be made
by- postmen, works progress admin
istration local offices, the U. 8.
employment service and other fluen
cies which have direct knowledge of
community conditions.
When exaggerations, false regis
trations, duplicate cards and other
expected sources of error have been
eliminated as far as possible, final
tabulations will be made under di
rection of the census bureau.
Seek Many Facts.
. Here are some of the facts which
the survey has been designed to dis
close: Eow many unemployed persons
there are In the country who are able
to work, what percentage of them
are men and what percentage wo
men. How old they are.
; How many persons there are partly
employed, who need more work than
they now have.
The kind of work the unemployed
can do and the specific type of bus
iness la which each was last em
ployed. .'.The number of dependents each
has aa well as the number of cur
rently employed persons In his fam
ily. The names, addresses snd races
ot the Jobless, and their Individual
cash Incomes aside from WPA and
ether emergency relief agencies.
Congressional advocates of the plan
said that when such facta as these
are known It will be possible to de
Tlse relief programs on a basis of ex
act need.

WHEAT HITS A NEW LOW on the farm of George Wilkinson near Fotwin, Uansas.
Nature played a strange prank when the bottom of part of a field suddenly dropped out. In two days
the earth sank 3D feet, leaving a hole 100 feet in diameter filled with dark green water. Geologists at
tributed the drop to crumbling limestone, affected by an underground stream's slowly dissolving the
formation. , . ,

Alvln King. 30, Merced barber, fol
lowed his wife, Margaret, 33, In death
today, carrying out a threat he made
In a letter to a newspaper (Oakland
Tribune) In which he stated he had
killed his wife.
Police reported King shot himself
with a rifle In a hotel room as his
landlady, Agnes Hawkins, attempted
to enter the room after she smelled
gas.
Mrs. King's body was found last
ntght In a room In another hotel. The
body was partly-clad and bore no
marks of violence. Police were di
rected to the room by a note sent

was partly removed today by the find
ing of a second note In King's room
which stated:
"I did so wish not to harm her
looks, and killed her with my hands."

BY SPECIAL SESSION
PORTLAND, Oct. 13. (VP) Sen
ator Charles McNary of Oregon, the
minority leader, was neither "sur
prised nor shocked" when he was
notified the president had called a
special session of congress for No
vember 15.
"The president Intimated on his
visit to Bonneville dnm that he would
call the session," the senator said.
"I asked htm not to do It and tried
to talk him out of It because I could
see no emergency. , The compensa
tion probably will be earlier ad
journment In the spring. The agri
culture committee wilt not be ready
with Its report on the farm bill until
January 1, but perhaps the presi
dent has In mind to force the wage
and labor bill out of the house."

Reclamation Commissioner
Says Western Irrigation
Does Not Add to Sur
pluses of Staple Crops
By CHARLES E. MtSSOS
CASPER. Wyo., Oct. 13. John
C. Page, commissioner of reclamation,
outlining In a speech here today fed
eral plans for salvaging arid areas,
asserted "there never has been too
much land under cultivation" In the
west.
"There has always been a crying
need for more, Just as there Is at
this time when tens of thousands
must go homeless," Page told members
of the - National Reclamation asso
ciation at their sixth annual con
vention. "These states are limited In their
agriculture by meager natural waters.
Irrigation Is essential here If farm
lug Is to be practiced at all. These
western irrigated lands do not add to
surpluses of the great staple crops."
In Two Types.
Page said reclamation projects gen
erally were divided Into two types.
One Is aimed "to rescue developed
Irrigation communities through re
habilitation and throtgh provision
of adequate, regulated stored water
supplies"."
The other, be said, "is designed to
expand the agricultural base of the
arid and seml-arld states by watering
new desert lands and thus creating
new opportunities for home makers."
Page hailed a "surging movement
toward a firm and continuing na
tional policy of conservation of our
national resources" as "one of the
outstanding achievements of the
year."
He said sales of public lands had
nearly ceased and "moratorla on con
struction repayments have prevented
accumulation of a surplus In the
fund."
Page said, however, he favored re
tention of the reclamation fund,
rather than the proposal to make ap
propriations from projects direct from
the general treasury.
The commissioner said part of the
department's work was to protect
settlers from "exploitation . oy ine
land shark."
By regulations and by government
appraisals of unimproved lands, we
have prevented gouging of tho set
tler, and we plan to continue to do
so," Page said.
