PRESIDENT AND OTHERS AVER FEDERAL AID BAD THING
 FOR THE PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3l. tR-Mute during the opening days of the session, the question of d. rect Federal aid for unemployed will find voice promising Ill the clamor of both houses after Con- gress resumes.
 Those legislators who feel there will be much suffering unless the government contributes millions have had their convictions streng- thened by the testimony before the Senate manufactures Sub-commlt- tee.
 But Hoover does not like their idea and feels their execution would constitute a dole, as he has sup porters in Congress who agree that such help would do more harm than good in the long run.
 Relief workers associated with the organization Hoover set up for relief, however, told the committee local charity lacks funds to pro- vide need and aid and many or them frankly said they thought 1t was time that the government did something.
 On the other hand Clifford, na- tional relief director, thinks local charity can handle the situation.
 News of the threatened breakoff of independents in the northwest from the party next year naturally is drawing notice from party lead CTS but neither Hoover nor chair man Fess of the national commit tee have commented on this. There is an inclination among regular Republican leaders to scout this third party talk as only a political naneuver this early in the Presi- detnial race.

DOAK WOULD EXPEL
CRIMINAL ALIENS
In Letter to Senate, Secre-
tary Reports Near 100000
Illegal Residents in U. S.

ANY alien convicted Of any crime
would be deported under recommended
tions made by Secretary of Labor Doak
in a letter to the Senate yesterday.
The Secretary, responding to request
for information regarding the number
of aliens illegally in the United States
and legislation necessary, said no one
could tell exactly how many there were,
but all estimates indicated the figure
was around 100000 OF these, he esti-
mated about one-fourth would be de-
portable.
No Law Authorizing Deportation.
"There is no authority under existing
law to deport alien criminals as SUCH
unless the crimes of which they have
been convicted involve moral turpitude, ="
the Secretary said.
He recalled the Senate now has bills
before it which lin a general way elm
mate the requirement that the crime
involve moral turpitude and base the
liability to deportation upon sentence
or sentences to imprisonment amount
ing to the minimum time specified in
the bill"
ut is suggested" he added that leg
islation along that line be enacted"
"A serious difficulty" said the Secre-
tary, which has arisen in the sections
of the law that pertain to prosecution
of aliens who enter unlawfully is that
as the offense is entry the place of entry
determines the district in which the
alien shall be prosecuted.
Prosecutions Made Difficult.
at not infrequently happens that
aliens enter one district and are located
in another many miles away and In
order to be prosecuted must be moved
to the district court in which entry
occurred.
ut is suggested that this difficulty be
obyiated by making the remaining in
the United States after an unlawful
entry an offense as well as the entry
itself This would permit of prosecu-
ton in any district where the alien is
found"
Doak also recommended that persons
having knowledge of an alien unlaw-
fully in the United States be made
guilty Of an offense.

Barking ''Soloist"
OF N.B.C. Networks
Silenced by Death
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 6.-Lobo,
a barking radio "soloist," has de-
serted the microphone for the
happy hunting ground of dogdom.
The dog, whose salary was said
to have equaled that of a union
musician, is to be heard no more
in the broadcasts of Horace
Heidt's orchestra over the N. B.
G. networks. His death came
after four short years of life.
Lobo's bark was prominent in
the playing of the signature song
by the orchestra. 1t was not the
mere barking that made Lobo
outstanding among dogs, but the
way he put 1t over For visible
audiences he put on an unusual
boxing and dancing act.
His owner, Clarence Moore,
saxophonist in the orchestra, says
that although Lobo's bark is gone,
he has Lobo, I'd, in training.
