I ? The Alamance gleaner VOL. LVIX. - ' GRAHAM, IN, C., THURSDAY MARCH 30, 1933. ~ M7~8 News Review of Current Events the World Over President's Farm Relief Bill Passes the House; Labor Unions Oppose Unemployment Relief Bill; Public Works Next on Program. THE President's farm relief bill passed the house with both Demo crats and Republicans voting for and against It. During the hours of ora uiry, fiiiiiuicn niiin'm exclusively to expla nation on the pari of members as to why they would vote for or against the hill, many Interesting statements were made. ?'In ordinary times I wouldn't support a measure of this kind," was the statement of Marvin Jone. /?"<" the agriculture com mittee after a ballot had prohibited amendments. "But we are at war. And while this war is on I'm going to follow the man at the other end of i the avenue who has the flag In his hand. I don't think this bill can make things any worse. God knows we all hope It will make things better." "This Is a child of the jig-saw puzzle t age," said Representative Clarke of New York, the agriculture committee's ranking Republican. "But filled with horrors and helllshness as it Is I'm going to follow the President." Representative Hope (Rep., Kan.) said he could not support it. "You are putting into the hands of one man con trol of the lives of 30,000.000 people who live on farms," he said. "If you vote for this bill, you're simply voting 1 for a bigger and better farm board." In the senate the bill will not have ?uch clear sailing as It had in the house, and It Is expected It will pass only after being amended to take out of It provisions many members of both the senate and house object to. [t Is not safe to predict what the bill will provide for by the time It gets back to the White House for the President's signature. CONGRESS now has before It the final two, of three, steps In the l- President's unemployment relief pro gram. The first of these provides for the Immediate enrollment of workers I to the extent of approximately 250,000 for concentration In government es ' tabllshed camps, the men to be era ployed In flood control, prevention of soil erosion, building of roads In gov ernment forest reserves. In forestry and in any other work which the Pres ident may direct. The men congregated in these camps are to be provided with housing, food, clothing, medical attendance, and to be paid a cash wage of not more than $1 per day. In the case of men with fam ilies a portion of the cash wage is to be allotted for the support of the families. The recruiting of this "civilian con servation force" Is to be on the basis of the number of unemployed in the diiTerent states in so far as that is possible. The expense, for the present at least. Is to he met, by diverting from the treasury unexpended balances of ap propriations made by previous sessions of ,congress for other purposes. It Is said that about $40,000,000 is avail able through such a source, and It Is expected this sum will maintain this plan for about ten weeks. There is much opposition to this proposed law on the part of labor* unions because of the low wage of $1 per day. Representative C'onnery, Idemocratic chairman of the house la bor committee, refused to introduce the hill because of the labor union opposition. The second step is an appropria tion through which further grants for unemployment relief may he made to the states. The third step, which the President will submit later, "extends to a broad public works labor creating program," including the operation of Muscle Shoals, the development of other pow er projects, vast reforestation plans, and a public building program In volving the expenditure of $250,000. 000. cost of carrying out the "three steps" will be about two bil lion dollars, and It is expected the President will propose to cover half of that amount with a bond Issue. 'jA IE passage of the economy bill * puts the question of government economies squarely up to the Presi dent. That law and the one passed by the last congress putting Into the hands of the President the reorguniza t ??n of government departments and bureaus, K|ve to the President dicta torial powers over government ex ?>FeiMf}tures for salaries up to the point ?f ? 15 per cent reduction, the num ber of deimrtments and bureaus and the employees needed to operate them, and the amounts to be paid to fet ?rans, and to what veterans. r It is expected that such reductions as are made in the salaries of govern ment departments will be effective April 1, but the savings made in the payments to veterans cannot, under the law, be effective until July 1. For the nest fiscal year, beginning July 1. It is predicted the economies effect ed by the President will amount to a total of $508,052,000, divided as fol lows : 1. Elimination of nonservice connected disability al lowances to World war veterans $201,652,000 S. Reduction In pay of gov ernment employees.... 125.000,000 3. Reduction of Spanish American war pensions. 05,000,000 4. Establishment of uniform schedules for disability payments to veterans.. 40,000,000 5. Limitation on retroactive payments 25,000,000 3. Miscellaneous 22,000,000 Total 1508,652.000 The plan for the reorganisation and consolidation of government depart ments and bureaus has not yet been announced, but there will undoubted ly be an additional saving of froni $300,000,000 to half a billion dollars effected in that way. The entire matter of economies In the administrative end of the govern ment Is now In the hands of the Pres ident. CHARLES E. MITCHELL, former chairman of the National City bank of New York, was arrested at his home charged with willfully evad nig payment ui uu ill come tax of $657,152 i$. for the year 1929. He || was released on bond, jj The warrant was ? based on an affidavit x and complaint by ? Thomas E. Dewey. K chief assistant (Jnit- I ed States attorney, I which charged that the financier attempt- ^ ed to evade the tax due on an income of $2,823,405.85 in 1929. Homer S. Cumminge The feturn filed by Mr. Mitchell for 1919 showed a purported loss of $48. 000, which, of course, resulted in his paying no tax for that year. In Washington, It was reported, At torney General Homer Cummlngs had conferred with President Itoosevelt, and that Mr. Roosevelt "fully ap proved of the action." The Washington authorities have di rected Mr. Medalie to present the case to the federal grand Jury at once with a view to an early trial. IN RESPONSE to complaints by * American Jews of the persecution and excesses committed ngalnst their co religionists by the Hitlerites In Ger win? ? m n n v Sorrpfnrv nf State Cord el I Hull asked the embassy in Berlin to make a com plete report on the situation. This action was tak en as a result of the representations made to the State depart ment by a delegation from the American Cordell Hud Jewlsn congress, head ed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York. The department Issued the follow ing statement: "Following the visit of Rabbi Wise the department has Informed the American embassy In Berlin of the press reports of mistreatment of Jews in Germany. "The department also Informed the embassy of the deep concern these re ports are causing In this country. "The department has instructed the embassy fo make, in collaboration with the consuls, a complete report on the situation." BEF.lt of 3.2 per cent by weight and 4 per cent hy volume alcoholic content will he on sale legally In 14 states on April 7. The house of rep resentatives refused to accept the senate amendment providing for 3.05 per cent, and the conference commit tee decided to accept the house per centage; the committee also killed the Borah amendment providing that the beverage could not be sold to children under sixteen years of age. As soon as the new law becomes op erative and heer Is actually on sale the "drys" plan to bring a test case to be rushed through to the Supreme court for the purpose of determining the constitutionality of the law. and they believe the court will Hnd that 32 beer la Intoxicating and that the law la unconstitutional. It was to minimize this possibility ; that the senate reduced the alcoholic 1 | content to conform with a finding of j a British commission which had de- ' cided the highest alcoholic content pos sible in a non-intoxicating beverage would be 3.05. Under the new law the sale of the beverage will be regulated by states, counties or municipalities as was true before the days of prohibition. There is nothing in the law to prohibit the ! sale In saloons in states or counties or j municipalities where saloons may bo wanted, and where such method of sale may be authorized. The sale of beer has been legalized ; in only 14 states effective on April 7. j The prohibition laws have been re- 1 pealed In five other states, but the repeal In these states does not become effective until after April 7, and in one state not until July 1. The other 29 states are dry either because of legislation enacted after the adoption of the Kighteentb amendment, or were dry previous to that enactment. Some of these states will possibly repeal their dry laws before the present ses sion of state legislatures adjourn. GOVERN&IKNT by the people Is dead In Germany. The relchstag has abdicated in favor of a dictator ship by the Hitler government, which nu?lins fhnt A ??V? Hitler, former A us- i trlan painter, is In su- ! prerne power. The j session of the reich- j stag nt which this inn- \ mentous decision was j ratified, was attended j hy all the pomp and j circumstance of mon- f arch la I days. The j former crown prince | and other members of the Hohenzollern fam Adolph Hitler uy were saluted with all the formality of the pre-war court. Von Hindenburg In his nddress opening the session of the reichstag sounded an appeal to the people "for a national rebirth of the soul for the weal of a unified, free and proud jGer many." Hitler, standing before a golden reading desk, responded. He appealed for foreign amity. He rejected the charge of Gorman war guilt as a lie, and asserted that neither the former kaiser nor the government desired the conflict. He promised to restore "true unity to all Germany, all states, all professions and classes. "We want to be sincere friends to the world at large," the chancellor said, "and to possess a real peace which will help heal the wounds from which we are suffering. For years heavy burdens have pressed upon our people. After a period of proud re vival, poverty and distress have visited us once more. "Millions of Germans seek their i daily bread In vain. Our economy Is desolated, our finances shattered. For 2,000 years this faith has clung to our people; ever ngainst our ascent comes our fall. The German?victim of in ner disintegration, disunited In spirit, and divided In will and thus helpless in action?becomes powerless to main tain his own existence." The new order of things awoke Ger-. many to a pitch of enthusiasm not witnessed In many years. Bonfires flared and torchlight processions were held In every city and village. Eighty thousand cheering persons paraded In Berlin. nro ASSURE an era of world peace i the general lines of a solid Eu ro {jean front in the form of a pact I ? by .the four chief powers were evolved j a i a conference in ; Home between Prime < .Minister MncDonald of Great Britain, am! j Ids foreign secretary Sir John Simon, and j Premier Mnssolinl of !
