STi niES PROHLEM WITH HOPKINS AND 1CKES DIRECT AID SEEN FAVORED OVER WORK RELIEF PLANS MORE APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED IN EMERGENCY WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. Aboard the presidential yacht Potomac, omewhere in the pleasant Caribbean a decision will be reached Intimately affecting the welfare of the millions of men and women to whom the depression has brought, or will bring, renewed Joblessness. When the November business In dex of the federal reserve board Is published later this month, It will stand close to 92. The last time the Index was as low as that, there were 12.000,000 unemployed In the United States. Although there Is some lag In unemployment In a depression so sudden aa the present one, the prob lem of unemployment will loom hor ribly big by the end of this month. By January, the most optimistic ex pert look for 2,000,000 additional unemployed, and 1,000,000 more with Inadequate part-time work. One of the unannounced reasons for the presidential fishing expedi tion was to get away for a long, quiet discussion of approaches to the new unemployment problem with Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hop kins and Public Works Administrator Harold h. Ickes. Of course. It's Impossible to predict what the result of the talks aboard the Potomac will be, but opinion among the atay-at-home presidential advisers gives some Insight into the alternatives. The most Interesting thing Is that It Is distinctly possible that the great New Deal principle of work relief will be partly abandoned. There may be a temporary resort to the much-abused direct relief or dole. - There la no question at all that more money will have to be provided to meet the new unemployment problem. It can be ' spent In three ways on the WPA'a moderately ex pensive work relief, or the PWA'a costly but business-stimulating pub lic works, or In large grants to the states and municipalities for distri bution as direct relief. Or some combination of the three can be worked out. The president has a strong dislike for direct relief with no return in work. Yet some of his least conser vative advisers are betting that he will choose the state grant method, supplementing It with extensions of the WPA and PWA programs. The advantages of this way of giving direct relief at second hand are that It la cheaper, and well-suited to meet a "temporary" and suddenly serious situation. Whatever decision the president reaches, the facts of new unemploy ment are too serious to be blinked. The bureau of labor statistics study for October showed a net Increase in Joblessness since the booming sum mer of a mere 80,000, But now fig ure privately compiled by govern ment relief experts show that, in the last week of November, 1,000.000 men and women who had Jobs on Labor Day were Jobless, and that 750,000 more were half-starving on part time work. During the last depression, indus try learned the technique of the lay off by undesired experience. Now lay-offs are coming Infinitely more rapidly than they did after the crash of October, 1829. So promptly have workers been discharged, and on such a scale, that many senators have received letters accusing the business men of a plot to wreck the New Deal. Of course, this Is non sense. The real snswer is that In ventories are swollen, orders down to nothing, and production impossibly risky under the circumstances. The results may already te ob served In their most dramatic form In sucb towns as Lawrence, Mas.. which was enjoying a fair pirvpntv until recently, and now has 10.000 new Jobless. In other places, the full picture of the unemployment that mil come has not yet been dis closed. One reason Is that Christmas Is coming. Until after Christmas, the retail trade will enjoy something of a boom, although a boom fir ie prosperous than had been expected And then TTfil ut;:"TV'.-,:'r.-.f; t wtil be upon us. MARTIN 10 TAKE ACTION AT ONCE Plans Outlined Monday Sees No Hopes Of Peace Between Rival Unions Parleys Fail. PORTLAND. Ore, Dec. 4. P) De spite a CIO charge of "sabre-rattling." Governor Charles H. Martin said In a statement today he would follow nls own "course of action" In settling Jurisdictional labor disputes which have paralyzed the lumber industry 115 days. His statement said: "The governor now has arrived at the definite de cision that there la no hope of bring ing the opposing factlona together ." He said his action would be announced "not later than Monday." Don Hemllck. International repre sentative, at the International Wood workers of America convention said calling out troops and "sabre-rattling by the governor" would not end the mill tleup. Hemllck charged the governor had refused to endorse a peace program drawn by AFL and CIO representa tives, and had rejected a plan to send FWA and APL delegates to Wash ington with demands that John L. Lewis and William Green reach an agreement. A new crisis developed at Newport, where A CIO mass picket line from Toledo prevented longshoremen load ing the freighter Hubert Schaffer with lumber from the C. D. Johnson Lumber company. A fire engine was called for riot duty when city and state police were held helpless. The ship, the third prevented from load ing, sailed without cargo. Indignant citizens said they would take the matter Into their own hands unless state protection waa provided, If further Interference with workmen occurred. PORTLAND, Dec. 4. (UP) Gover nor Charles H. Martin said tonight he was determined to follow his own course of action In the Portland Jur isdictional lumber warfare. Peace parleya again ended In fail ure today. "I have arrived at. the riofinit h- clslon that there Is no hope of bring ing tnc c. I. o. and the A. F. of L. together," the governor said. "1 will follow my own course of action, and will outline my plana Monday." The governor, state, city, and labor leaders met twice today, but failed to break a deadlock In tho controver sy which has paralyzed the lumber Industry for the last 116 daya. PORTLAND, Dec. 4. (IP) Offered as a "formula for peace," the A. P. of L'a Oregon-Washington council of lumber and sawmill workers sent to the Heal c. I. O.'a International Woodworkers of America today a re capitulation of the gains" we have made" for workers of the industry and urged preservation of threx as the atartlng point for a settlement. In another quarter, a controversy Involving employers and labor but not connected with the APL-CIO Jurisdictional battles, neared a decis ion. Federal Judge James A. Pee, ask ed by the Portland waterfront em ployers to restrain the unions from Interfering with shipping, said he was disposed to grant the Injunction un til the cast could be beard complete ly but that a final decision would be made Monday. The employora claimed no labor dispute waa involved. The A. P. of L. In Ita peace appeal told the C. I. O. that It had male these gains: 1. A "clear-cut" statement guaran teeing "our complete autonomy." 2. A "clear-cut" declaration that any operation under "our Jurisdic tion shall have the union label." a. A "clear-cut" fulfillment of the demand for organizers who talk the language of Industry." 4. A "clear-cut" demonstration of carpenters' sincerity when they prom ised a rensonable return of per capita tax In the shape of strike benefits, organlratlon funds, etc. "It you choose to Join with us In the sharing of these gains, we have every assurance that there la a way without penalties or reprisals." the ofrer said. The 1WA convention, clos ing Its doors to the public, had no Immediate reply. pnllr Shot ratal SPOKANE. Dec. 4. (API T omaa E.

(AP) Postal Inspectors today asked the police to drag the East river and lower har bor for six bags of mall still missing after a $50,000 robbery one of the strangest of Its kind In New York crime history. The inspectors sought police aid af ter several hours of quiet investiga tion during which they refused for a time despite the evidence dragged from the river by an eel fisherman, to admit robbery had taken place. Even then. Chief Inspector James J. Doran said the 11 bags which van ished from a locked and heavily guarded mall truck might have fallen out. He added, however, that he couldn't "quite picture" that hap pening without "some honest per sons" seeing It. Doran said one bag contained $7. 000 in cash consigned from the Phila delphia Reserve bank to the Mt. Jew ett. Pa.. National bank. The rest of the loss Included a piece of Jewelry, valued at $400, and checks and secur ities, for the post part unnegotlable. That a robbery had occurred was first disclosed to police by Peter Schleb. Schleb went fishing for eels In the East river last night. His first catch was not an eel but a mall bag. Schleb took the bag to the police, who found that It had been opened but that letters and packages were Inside. While police watched, Schleb resumed his fishing. He caught four more bngs. Denying reports that the loss amounted to 2. 000,000, which would have made it the largest mall robbery In memory, postal inspectors disclosed that the bngs had been part of a truckload which left thi. main post office last night for the Lackawanna terminal In Hoboken, N. J. The truck, Its door locked and tested before leav ing the nostofflce. stopped en route to the Hudson river ferry terminal Just once for a red light. It waa aboard the ferry and In the middle of the Hudson river before the attention of the driver and two guards, all armed, waa called to the fact that the back door was open. How or when the 11 bags were re moved was a mystery, and no one had a reasonable theory to explain how the bags found by Schleb got from Manhattan's went side to the river on It east side.

(p) Little Miss What's-her-name was worth a fortune tonight. No one knew when It happened. No one knew why. But everyone knew she once waa a penniless orphan, and was now, overnight, an heiress. Rockefeller millions lay in her lap, and the world didn't know her name. She was the little blonde girl at the Muriel McCormlck Hubbard es tate, a little blonde girl too young to wonder why It should happen to her when there are thousands of or phans. She was the adopted great-grand daughter of the late 'John D. Rocke feller and a probable heiress to part of the McCormlck reaper fortune as well. The child may not have been the blonde four-year-old whose adoption was announced in Chicago two days ago by Mrs. Hubbnrd father, Har old Fowler McCormlck. the Interna tional Harvester company executive. But the description fitted her. Prom whence the blonde girl came was mystery. "Some place In the east," Mr. McCormlck said. And where she was tonight was a mystery. "Away for a while," the servants sAld at Lone Tree farm. Wherever she was, Miss What'e-hcr-name was filling a vacant spot In the life or Mrs. Hubbard, who had no children and has lived alone since her husband, MaJ. Ellsha Dyer Hub bard, died last December.

Li TO BRAZIL CHIEFI Burke Charges Philosoph - ical Kinship' With Co operative State Founder Sees Dangers. NEW YORK, Dec. 4. (AP) Sena tor Burke (D Neb.l tonight sought to link President Roosevelt In phi losophical kinship with President Vargas of Brazil, who recently pro mulgated a corporative atate form of government for that country. In an address prepared for a din ner of the American Defense society held In honor of senators who op posed Mr. Roosevelt's supremo court reorganization proposal. Burke as serted the president was "reported" to have given Vargas part of the credit for originating the new deal in this country. "It la a startling thought." the senator said, "that the American form of government should need de fense need It probably more than at any other period since It came Into being." "In the last few years a devastat ing change has taken place In many countries. I call your attention to one example only, the most recent one and In some respect most closely connected with our own affairs. "I refer to the South American republic If It may still be called by that name Brazil. A year ago when our chief executive (Mr. Roose velt) visited that country he la reported to have said: '"It was two people who Invented the new deal the president of Brazil and the president of the United States.' " , Turning to Brazil's recent depart ure from the traditional democratic forms, Burke quoted the Brazilian minister of Justice as having made this statement: "There is a world-wide movement to withdraw from parliament the power of initiating legislation and have parliaments delegate their func tions to the executive." "With such a aplrlt prevailing," said Burke, "we need hardly argue the necessity of organizing for tho defense of the constitution and the American form of government." SPANISH FRONT MADRID, Dec. 4. (AP Nine planes, roaring aut of a sunshiny sky, were reported today to have renewed Insurgent aerial attacks on the central Spanish front. The raiders took advantage of a break after two days of bad weather to bomb three towns Tarancon, Santa Cruz de la Zarza and Puente duena de Tajo, The government had Its revenge on a large scale on the northeastern (Aragon) front where Almudevar. athwart the main road between Zaragoea and Hucsca, was neavuy bombed by 30 large government planes protected by three squadrons of pursuit ships. Almudevar lately had been used for Insurgent troop concentrations and had been under heavy shelling for some weeks. ROAD FUNDS CUT 8 A LENT. Dec. 4.

MM AND ITT FLAY FARM BILL; PASSAGE DOUBTED I Measure Held 'Confusing Debate Limited Loans Held Lure To Farmers By Senator King. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. (AP) Northwest congressmen would revise pending farm legislation, which Sena tor Charles L. McNary of Oregon, Re publican floor leader, termed a "con tradictory. Impractical and confusing document that didn't have a chance of passage." Representative Nan Wood Honey man (D.-Ore.) said "the house bill .should take In a wider field of prod ucts." "The bill In its present form Is compulsory control of basic agricul tural commodities," Representative Jamea Mott (R.-Ore.) aald, "despite Its window dressing of soil conser vation and loans to cooperative far mers." WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. V-The senate agreed unanimously today to limit debate on the farm bill begin ning Monday In order to hasten final action. Democratic Leader Barkley of Ken tucky submitted the agreement after a conference with Republican Leader McNary of Oregon. The lea de rs agreed th at Sen a tor Praider (R.-N.D.). opponent of the bill, would be permitted to apeak first when the senate convenes Monday. When he concludes, further debate will be restricted to IS-mlnuto speeches on amendment and 30 min ute on the bill Itself. Discussion, however, will not be limited on substitutes for the entire bill, such as the domestic allotment proposal offered by Senator Lee (D. Okla.) Senator King (D.-TJtah) denounced the Pope-Mcoill farm bill today aa "complex patchwork legislation" filled with "unconstitutional provisions." Bitterly criticizing the measure. King told the senate It proposed an Improper exercise of congressional power because It was "nothing more or leas than a compulsory price-fix ing bill." He contended the proposal would sot up "an absolute master" over all agriculture under "tyrannous, oppres sive and Ulegnl provisions." Benefits under the proposed pro gram, It critic said, were the "lure" that would "seduce farmers away from sound policies In tho hope of obtaining gift, subsidies and boun ties as a. trade for abandonment of personal rights and the surrender of the rights of Individual states.
