LABOR FEDERATION
ASKS FEDERAL HELP
Wants Government to Make Ii.
beraI Appropriations For
Unemployed

washington, Dec. 0.-R The
American Federation of Labor We'd
nesday threw the full force of its in
fluence squarely behind the drive for
direct federal appropriations for un-
employment relief.
Edward F. McGrady, legislative rep
resentative of the Federation, told a
senate committee national emerg-
ency existed which could be met only
by the federal government. He esti-
mated 7,500,00 would be out of work
next year.
It was the first time the federation
had taken stand on the issue of
federal relief, to which President
Hoover is opposed
Federal aid also was asked by other
witnesses.
Many states, cities and isolated
districts" frankly admit they are un-
able to meet the demands that are
being made upon them for relief for
the needy" McGrady said.
He asserted the federation has
contributed $52,0OO,O0O in the last two
years to its needy membership.
I'VE are going to try to assist our
members as much as possible" he
said, but with unemployment in
creasing we very much fear that we
will have to call upon the public au-
thoritieS to assist us in carrying this
load.
IT the states and communities ad-
nit it is absolutely impossible for
them to aid in this relief, then the
only agency that can be looked to Is
the federal government and we are
in favor of liberal appropriations"

drought losses last summer and fall,
not harvesting enough grain for
spring seeding.
Revolving funds have been set up in
five of the ten counties hit by the
drought, Governor Shafer explained,
and it is expected other counties will
take similar action. The plan de-
pends on passage of a seed loan meas
ure by congress.
The governor said the federal farm
loan had made it possible for the
farmers in the drought area to retain
their livestock and that the mild win
ter has aided conditions.
If the purchase of seed wheat by
North Dakota counties is approved by
the Chicago office Of the Grain Sta
bilization corporation" Governor
Shafer said, "the counties will buy
the wheat with money in a special
revolving fund and will sell 1t to
farmers obtaining federal seed loans.
It also Is planned to buy seed oats,
barley and flax"

DEMOCRATIC PLANS
FOR TAX REVISION
ATTACKEDBY MILLS
Under-Secretary of Treasury
Criticizes Proposals of
Illinois Solon

Washington, Dec. 30-(P)-The ad-
ninistration has assailed embryonic
tax proposals Of congressional Demo-
Gratis with charges that they are
wholly inadequate to meet the fiscal
situation" of the federal government.
Under-secretary Mills Of the treas
ury made the criticism of program
outlined by Representative Rainey OF
Illinois, the Democratic house leader.
which advocated heavy syrtax levies
on the wealthy.
In a statement Tuesday night Mills
said there was little profit in soak
ing the rich" because. "the large in
comes are no longer there"
The program suggested by Rainey
has not met with the general approx
al of other Democratic leaders. Ad-
vised of Mills criticism Of the Rainey
program, Speaker Garner said:
Nobody has been authorized to
speak for the Democratic party on a
tax program, and nobody has. There
is no complete program yet"
The Democrats, however, are in ac-
cord in the idea Of imposing taxes on
tllOSc UCSU dU1C w OV0A t4ACAAA. AAA ckA
dition, they expect to bring about
$500, 100000 into the treasury by
stopping loopholes in the existing law
Rainey advocated repeal of the cap
ital stock and gains and losses pro-
vision of the present law, levying Of a
maximum surtax of go per cent, and
making new taxes effective on the
current years incomes. He opposed
the lowering of exemptions on small
incomes.
Mills said the program was made
quate to meet the prospective $2,000,-
100000 treasury deficit.
A 6O-per-cent surtax would collect
only an additional $120,0OO,0 900, he
said, adding "the number OF income:
of 100000 and over fell from about
10000 in 1928 to about $500 in 1890.
There will unquestionably be a fur
ther substantial reduction in the cal.
endar year 1882"
He charged the Democrats proposed
to operate the government on Dor.
rowed money.

ing the amount Of money nation
may spend on it's forces.
The United States policy has been
that armaments should be directly
limited.
A compromise suggestion is that
the reduction should come in COM
parison to the amount a nation
spent in previous years and not by
comparing its expenditures with
other nations.
Whether to attempt to restrict
aerial fighting forces also is getting
detailed study by the administration.
The American attitude on whether
an armament treaty should contain
a provision which would allow its
signers to waive their agreement II
threatened by preparations by a
non-signatory nation is also yet to

Heart Wound Fails
To Kill Ohio Boy

Youngstown, Ohio, Dec. 3d.
P)-Shot in the heart, a boy was
saved when the blood pushed the
bullet into an artery.
The bullet finally lodged in the
boys groin, where surgeons said
Wednesday it will be permitted
to remain for the time being.
The boy, Harry Besharre, was
shot by playmate Saturday. He
was reported in good condition.
The bullet lodged in the wall
Of the hearts left auricles. Ex-
pansion and contraction of the
heart muscles worked it into the
auricle with a blood clot building
up behind it preventing hemorr-
hage.
Physicians hope the bullet will
work further down in the femoral
artery to a point in the left leg
where it can be removed without
danger.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Fashions
Y connected with boys? BY all
means. Your 12-year-old may not
be smart object just after a few
rough-and- tumble hours with the
gang or after he's cleared a couple
of fences. But when be starts out
to school, you do like him to rep
resent you creditably and that's
where fashion comes in.
For small boy of or 8 or so, a
ouble-breasted chinchilla coat is
almost as much taken for granted
as his winter underwear. Watch a
line of little boys filing into school
some day =. you'd think they were
wearing regulation uniform, almost
you see SO many chinchillas.
And most of them have little
tight-fitting caps which come off
with manly flourish when they
enter the building. The coat and
cap are certainly the top fashion
for young fellows.
Leather Coats for Older Boys
Many mothers outfit older boys
with leather coats or windbreak-
ers. They wear :. they're warm.
Some go in for wool Innings and
lamb collars . and they go over
big with the boys because they're
little more groWnup.
You'd never hear a boy say a
sweater was a fashion But show
us the boy who hasn't at least
one sweater! So sweaters are very
much the fashion.
You'll find that Junior hiraself
has a fixed idea about the kind
of neck he wants his sweater to
have v, crew or turtle, one of
these. All are smart. OF course the
sweaters are pulloverS, of a good
firm knit not easily pulled out of
shape when few apples are showed
into them to carry to school.
Leather Gloves Good Protectors
Hands are a great, unsolved
problem. They will shoot marbles
in the dirt. They will fix greasy
wagon wheels. They will get chafed
and wind bitten in cold weather.
And mothers will say to the end of
time, Look at your hands,"
But fur or wool-lined leather
gloves are a big help, since they
keep out cold anw wetness. And
be sure you get them large enough.
On rainy days, while we're speak
ing of wetness many a young
ster goes splashing along in a
trench coat. Double breasted, with
military flaps and belt that give
him a captain-of- the-regiment feel
ing. You can get these trench
coats-cut like an officers coat
in boys sizes, now.
Plain or Patterned Socks
Coming down to socks if
the ones that wait in your darn
ing basket are plain or diamond
patterned wool, they're following
in the footsteps of good taste.
The row of shirts which blow on
the clothesline each Monday are
broadcloth as a rule white,
colored, striped. And if they belong
to an older boy, they're regular
shirts, even to the tails.
In ties, we're for letting your
boy indulge his taste for good

GEO. CARTER IN ACCIDENT
His Car Badly Wrecked in a Col
lisiOn on Boulevard North of Here

George Carter, editor of The
Evening Journal, who resides on
his farm Cedar Brook" near
Smyrna, and two others, who were
riding with him in his Ford, one
being Mrs. Powell Marvel and the
other a young fellow, met with an
accident three miles north of
Smyrna while on their way to Will
mington yesterday morning. A
Philadelphia car attempting to
pass a truck and seeing the car of
Mr. Carter's coming toward him,
applied his brakes in an effort to
take his place in back of the
truck. Instead, his car skidded
across the road, hitting Mr.. Car
ter. Both cars were badly dam
aged but fortunately no one
was hurt.
