Because Of the grave crisis in

confronts the country through
the impoverishment of millions of
workers, Senator La Toilette (R0

would renew his demand for di-
rect Federal aid for unemploy.

Reports received by him from
every section of the country in
his nationwide survey of unem-

malnutrition among workers is
widespread. Millions of workers
homes, he asserted, are broken up
because Of reduced incomes.
From hospitals, doctors, and

Josette Misses Football,
Duty Comes First

Mile. JoSette Laval, the 19-year'
old daughter Of the French Pre-
mier, experienced her first diSap
pointment in America today.
She had wanted to witness her
first football game, a thrill toward
which she had been looking ever
since she left Paris. But fate and
her father intervened to decree
otherwise. And when she left the
White House after an early break.
fast this morning it was to re.
sumo her official" duties as her
fathers feminine aide.
Planned Early Trip
Mile. Laval had hoped to see
the Navy play Princeton. To that
end, she had planned to leave
Washington very, very quietly this
morning with . small party and
travel to Princeton by train.
But 9 o'clock found her on the
south portico Of the White House
having her picture taken with her
father and President and Mrs
Hoover, and acting as interpreter,
to boot.
The train waited seven minutes
for her at Union Station, but
the busineSs-like gentlemen who
run trains on schedule couldn't
wait any longer, so it pulled out

In addition to wanting his

ton, it is understood that M.
Laval was averse to the publicity
that might have attended the
football game. He has wanted
his daughter to be inconspicuous
during her American visit, a feat
as difficult to accomplish in
America as it is behind theatrical
footlights.
But it is well understood that
he wishes her to enjoy herself,
too. And it was only yesterday
morning that the 19-year-old
French girl said for the talking
