nt'OE UNEMPLOYMENT HIKE
EXPECTED IS JANUARY
F.T.R. 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.

L BAGS THEFT
NEW YORK, Dee. 4. (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.

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

TO BRAZIL CHIEFI
Burke Charges

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."

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.
