Heights Congress Needs
Stirring by People.

The City Of Washington Is the prop
erty of citizens Of every State In the

WINTER JOBS
OBJECT OF new
HOOVER DRIVE
Nation Must Prevent Hun
ger and Cold, Presidents
Statement Says.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Presi-
dent Hoover, declaring that "aS 4
nation we must prevent hunger and
cold to those of our people who are
in honest difficulties" has an
nounced a federal program for
stimulation of employmet during
the winter months.
Thep Ian provides for continual
ton of organizations already set up,
but broadens their scope and ar
ranges closer cooperation of states
and cities with the central govern
ment. A three-fold effort was out
lined by Mr.. Hoover:
Cooperation with Governors and
employment organizations of states
and local communities.
Development of employment
methods with national industries.
Direct federal employment in
public works.
Cabinet COmmitte Named
A committee of five cabiet men,
bers was named to coordinate the
program and confer with Eugene
Meyer, federal reserve board chair
man. The secretaries are Hyde,
agriculture; Mellon, treasury; Davis,
labor; Lamont, commerce, and Will
bur, interior.
The program for the winter is the
most recent of series of relief
measures undertaken by the Presi-
dent since, the unemployment sit
uation developed.
Already favorable results are be-
ing obtained from Mr.. Hoover's Or
der to limit immigration to exclude
aliens who have no definite work
promised them.
The Presidents conferences with
financiers and business leaders con-
tinue, and Mr.. Hoover has kept in
touch with Governors regarding the
situations in their states.
COnfers without Publicity
Without publicity, Mr.. Hoover has
ben calling to the White House dur
ing recent weeks men who control
or influence large business or f1nan-
cial interests.
It has been contrast to the
methods employed when he called
business leaders to the White House
last year. Then they all came to-
gether: now they come in single
file. Then the visits were given
wide publicity; now the conferences
are on a personal basis, with pri-
vate dinners and long talks over
the cigars afterward.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-10-18

A rivalry, which dates back to
1926, when the Tartans spilled the
Rocknemen in the east. and 1928,
when they ground twenty-three
years of tradition into the sod by
handing the Irish their first past
ing on old Cartier field, South Bend,
makes the game of unusual inter-
est. Notre Dame barely was able
to turn in 7-to-0 victory at Pitts
burgh last fall.
Eight Members in Lineup
Eight members of the 1928 Tech
team still are in the lineup, includ-
ing Karcis and Eyth, back field
stars. Both coaches were doubtful
about their starting lineups. It is
probable that the Hoosier mentor
will select his first string to start
the fray.
Although showed into the shadows
by the big classic, the Big Ten
offered many promising attractions.
The Hoosier twins, Purdue and In
diana, met strong foes in Iowa and
Minnesota, respectively.
Coach Kizer's Boilermakers stopped
in their first conference start by
Michigan, are determined to get
back into the victory column while
the Hawks, whose final Big Ten
standing rests on this game, their
only conference tilt, are out for
blood.

Coach Pat Pages Hoosiers were

POOR FARM BOND ISSUE
BEFORE COUNTY COUNCIL

County council will vote this
morning on an ordinance calling for
a $4,000 bond issue to finance
relief program at the Marion coun-
ty infirmary.
Resuming Fridays session, coun-
cilmen were to discuss passing the
ordinance as the single medium by
which relief can be given hundreds
of inmates living now in deplorable
conditions.
Councilman Paul Dunn indicated
council may veto the ordinance with
recommendations that the inf1rmary
be moved from its present site to
operate jointly with the Marion
county hospital for the insane at
Julietta.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-10-18

The ordinance was prepared by
County Auditor Harry Dunn at re-
quest of county commissioners, and
acknowledges the poor farm relief
is an indispensable public neces-
sity."
Without declaring their stand on
the bond issue, the council Friday
indicated the vacating order of
State Fire Marshal Alfred M. Hog
sion will not be complied with.
Hogston's order, condemning the
dilapidated mems quarters as a fire
trap, makes it mandatory on COM
mtsSioners to vacate within ninety
days from the date of the order,
issued two weeks ago.

played many games, was said to
have caused the arrest so that he
could get the commission on the
bail.
It was on this instance of super
chiseling that Diamond is said to
have affronted his chief. They
parted in bad blood.
Small wonder, then, that when
Rothstein was slain the police called
in Diamond to explain what he had
been about on the night of that
mysterious Staying.
while it's quite unlikely that
Diamond had anything to do with
the Rothstein murder-still, what a
break.
He had the inside information on
the booze, drug, gambling and politi-
cal situation. Now the Jack would

Within a short time, Diamond APP
peared to be affecting a veritable
recrudescence of his big boss.
