PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1939. SOCIAL LAWS 10 BE MINOR PHASE Unemployment and Relief Still Top Problems Pension Advocates Active By H. R. Ingrahim Washington, Dec. 28. (IF) Social legislation may be a some what subordinate theme in the final congressional session of President Roosevelt's second term. The administration program in that field generally is re garded as about complete, and except for possible refinements probably will not be stressed at the coming session of con Kress. There are many indications, however, the general subject will not be forgotten by the legislators. For instance: 1. Unemployment and relief remain major problems. 2. Proponents of bigger pen sions for ,.ie aged still are vocal despite thumping defeats of plans of the "ham and eggs' variety In California and Ohio elections. 3. President Roosevelt has suggested a program of federal aid for moderate cost hospitals which may be substituted, at least temporarily, for the more ambitious Wagner federal health program. No Relief Deficit For the first time in at least three years, congress will not have an immediate relief defi cit to meet when it gets back to work Jan. 3. That appeared definite when Col. F. C. Harrington, works pro jects commissioner, announced he would not seek additional funds to finance the relief pro gram until June 30 but would operate with the money appro priated last summer. In contrast, when congress convened last January, the ad ministration U!,Ked for an ad ditional $873,000,000 to tide the WPA over the balance of the fiscal year. After two attempts, congress finally voted $825,000, 000. Harrington's declaration his organization would live within Its budget was received with enthusiasm on capitol hill and some blunt criticism. Vindication Seen Rep. Woodrum (D-Va.), acting chairman of the committee which handles WPA appropria tions, hailed it as vindication of the changes congress made in the relief set-up last summer. "With the marked increase In business in all lines," Woodrum added, "there's every reason to anticipate that the relief load In the new fiscal year should be materially lightened." There have been reports that President Roosevelt would hold his estimates for relief down to about $1,100,000,000 for the year starting July 1 in contrast to the $2,380,800,000 voted at the last regular session for all relief purposes. Woodrum as serted, however, there was no particular hurry about fixing that figure and Mr. Roosevelt may include only a" tentative estimate In his regular budget message to congress. Agalmt Relief Cut Rep. Coffee (D-Wash.), how ever, told reporters he thought "chaos and despair" would re sult if the administration sought to cut relief funds to $1,000,000, 000. "State relief set-ups Just can't handle the problem," Cof fee said. "The situation would be particularly bad in the west, for whatever recovery there has been in the eastern industrial areas has not yet been felt in the west." Demands for return of admin istration of relief to the states and possible reopening of a house committee's Investigation of the WPA were other poten tial causes of congressional fire works. The United States cham ber of commerce already has renewed the plea for return of relief to the states on the ground that the expense of the present program would wreck the coun try economically If prolonged.

(U.R) Streams of tourists are pouring Into Mexico, contrasting with a usu ally dull season between sum mer and mid-winter. Normally, Mexico has a big rush of tourists In June, July and August, then a big drop occurs In the fall and it is not until mid-winter that they be gin returning. Various reasons are advanced for this post-summer boom in the travel business. The prin cipal one Is the European war. Because of the fighting In Eu rope, many people who find themselves unable to go there come here. Others, fearing sub marines and raiders in the Car ibbean sea, frankly acknowledge that they are afraid to go on West Indies cruises or travel anywhere else by boat so they come to Mexico by rail, air plane, bus or automobile.
