FEDERAL FUNDS
:. ARE DECLARED
NECESSARY
Local Programs Inadequate,
Unemployment Conference
IN Capital Contends

Charging that local, State,
and voluntary relief funds
were inadequate to take care
of the unemployed needy this
winter, representatives of a
number of national liberal or
CARNATIONS meeting here at
the Hamilton Hotel in an un-
employment relief conference
called on Congress today to
appropriate Federal funds for
this purpose.
The conference also demanded
shortening of the work-week, en-
actment of a national system of
unemployment insurance, and a
5000, 100000 public works pro-
gram to stimulate business revival.
Tax Increase Planned
Money to pay for this expansive
plan would be raised by heavy in.
crease in surtaxes, estate taxes,
and enactment of a gift tax, un-
der the conferences program.
DR.. I. M. Rubinow, of Cincin:
natl, secretary of B'nai Birth, de-
clared that Federal funds for I'm
mediate relief were necessary be-
cause the efforts of community
chests and local governments are
insufficient. He continued:
"The depression has reached
the dimensions of a national
catastrophe. The time has gone
when the situation could be
shunted onto State and local
governments. Only national
action can relieve the situation
now"
Machines To Blame
DR.. Harry w. Ladder, director
Of the League for Industrial Dem

search, held that machine devel-
opment had reached such a point
in the United States that a ma

insurance was needed ito keep
the unemployed, in good times
as well as bad, from the demorah-
Zation of the breadlineS."
James Myer. industrial secre-
tary of the Federal Council Of
Churches, declared that if child
labor could be abolished, thou

At the end of the past fiscal

Affairs Committee

Written for International News Service
When Congress converfes l
shall use every effort to pass
legislation that will insure the
early construction of at least one
1O,Ooo-ton flying deck cruiser.
It does not require a very great
flight of the imagination to teel
that a big 10,000-ton warshlp

guns, a number of high-poWereo

twenty-five a.rplanes, might easily
revolutionize future naval war

War Value Cited
A squadron of these cruisers
operating at a speed of 36 miles
an hour, would certainly throw

The economies made manda-

especially in the matter of ammu-

the Coast Artillery to maintain
it's former high standards of gun
merry, it was revealed today.
In his annual report of coast
artillery activities for the past

Gulick, chief of this branch of the
service, said there had been pro-
gresSive improvement in organiza-
ton, training, equipment and gen.

lery organizations, but he re-
gretted the stringency of ammuni-
tion supplies. His report said:
Inability to hold preliminary
firings has been keenly felt by
many organizations. However,
the results of Sea-coast target
practice during the past fiscal
year were generally satisfac-
tory.
due to reductions in target
practice allowances, it was pos
sible to hold only one battle
practice during the year."
The report revealed that II per
cent of all battery officers com
missioned in the Coast Artillery
Corps are on foreign service, due
to the policy of maintaining for
eign garrisons at author d
strength.
But this and the policy of as
signing Coast Artillery officers to
duty outside the Coast Artillery
branch have resulted in the Coast
Artillery regiments in the United
States being maintained at con-
siderably less than their author
lied commissioned strength.
