The Committees of Action and
the Unemployed Councils, must
give special attention to the con-
ditions and needs of the en-
ployed and part-time workers as
well as of the totally jobless.
Joint actions of the employed
and unemployed must be devel-
oped in and around the shops,
mines and mills on the basis of
special demands such as; Pay
ment of full time-wages to part
time workers; against mass lay
offs; against overtime, speed-up,

Factory Hunger Marches can
be an effective means for press
ing demands such as direct relief
from the owners; re-hiring of
laid-off workers etc. Wherever
strikes occur, the unemployed
must be modified for active sup

strengthened and the attacks of
the bosses and government more
effectively repealed.

Continuation and Culmi-

Against Hunger
Our fight to assure decent

every unemployed worker and
his family logically leads to a
struggle to force the Federal gov
eminent to supplement local re-
lief and provide greater security
by the establishment of Fed
eral system of unemployment in
slrance at the expense of the
employers and government.
The purpose of the National
Hunger March is to present to
and press before Congress when
it opens its sessions on Dec. 5th
the following major demands:
Federal Winter Relief of
$50 in cash for every unem-
ployed worker plus $40 for
every dependent of such
worker.
This Federal Winter Relief
is to supplement such relief
as is provided in the various
localities.

Football Star
Turns Out Fraud

BERKELEY, Dec. 80. O.H-A
husky young man who posed as an
Alabama football star, accepted
the hospitality of a Berkeley fam
lily, then drove off with his bene-
factors automobile and some new
clothing, was the object of a police
search today.
Clarence H. Hagstrom of Berk-
eley met the young man in a Reno
speakeasy last week. The youth
said he was John Dilvy, Alabama
grid star, and was stranded in
Reno because he missed the spe-
cial train carrying the Alabama
team home after its game with st.
Mary's college.
Hagstrom brought "Dilvy" to
Berkeley and installed him as
guest in the Hagstrom home. He
bought him a tuxedo and other
clothing, in order that Christmas
might be spent more enjoyably.
And he gave him free and unlinlit-
ed use of the Hagstrom car.
"Dilvy", appreciative of all the
hospitality, stayed more than a
week, then disappeared with the
car and clothing.

"Repeal of the nine acts will still
leave upon the statute books the
opening and widening act of 1908,
and the improvement act of 1911,
which are ample for any require
mentS.
with the debt limitation act of
1881 in force, which limits the
amount of special assessments
which can be imposed upon prop
erty owners, future abuses through
efforts of selfish promoters cam
not be made"
Mattoon pointed out that be-
cause of many abuses which he
says have occurred during recent
years through ill-advised and ex-
travagant proceedings under spe-
cial assessment laws, the nine as
sessment district acts should be
repealed.
Had the debt limit law, adopt
ed in 1881, been passed by the leg
islature when first presented, many
of these abuses and their resulting
burdens upon property owners
would have been averted," Mat
toon said.
However, believe that even
with the limitation bill in force,
and we must guard against its
emasculation, the legislature at the
coming session should repeal a
number of our procedure statutes.
"These laws are no longer need
ed and their principal effect is to
clutter up our statute books"

nical efficiency, sketched a me-
chanical civilization which already
had passed the point of greatest
efficiency and maximum results.
He disagreed with critics who hold
that the machine had impaired the
security of the masses.
II can find no evidence" Kimball
said, "that the life of the common
worker has become worse through
machine methods. However, un-
employment must be checked" He
recommended the following meas
ures to achieve that result:
The working week must be shor-
tened.
Foreign markets must be devel-
oped to take surplus products and
to provide materials that are not
produced domestically.
Manufacturing must be freed
from the incubus of speculation.
There should be balancing of
reduction and consumption
through mutual agreement of pro-
ducing and marketing groups.
The overhauling of banking and
financial methods which prevent
industry from finding itself is ur-
gently necessary.
Management must provide greater
security for workers against un-
employment, poverty and old age.
Another phase of civilization was
discussed by Prof. Richard G. Toll
man, of the California Institute of
Technology, who pictured the uni
verse as a whole "pulsating like
the human heart" He described
two cosmic forces, radiation and
gravitation, both perfectly bal
anced, which assure the universe
of going on forever.
Radiation" Tolman said, causes
the universe to run itself down,
while gravitation keeps winding it
up, thus maintaining an equili-
brium."

APPROPRIATION
BILL REPORTED
Deficiency Measure Has Many
Reductions Recommended By
President Hoover.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. U.P}-
A deficiency appropriation bill, re-
duced $l2,285, 900 under President
Hoover's budget recommendations,
was reported to the house today by
the appropriations committee.
The measure, the fourth of the
great annual supply bills, carried
a total of $31, ,421 ,520.57 as compared
with a budget estimate of $43, ,706,-
708.99. Funds could be used to meet
urgent deficiencies in current
funds.
If approved in its present form,
passage of the deficiency bill will
bring total savings effected by the
house this year to more than $437,-
100000. Similar economies are pre-
dicted by Democratic leaders for
the seven major appropriation bills
as yet unreported.
BY far the bulk of the funds car
ried in the deficiency bill must be
used for payment of internal rev.
enue tax refunds. A total of $28,-
100000 is allotted for this purpose.
Other major items include fight
ing forest fires, $1,000,000;
judgments and claims against the
government, $1,212,663.37; United
States employment service, 5000, 900.
Chief economy was effected in
tax refunds. The $40,000,000 treas
ury-budget bureau request was re-
duced by $12,000,0O0.
In addition, the committee re-
fused to approve a $24O,000 ap-
preparation for beautifying the
capitol grounds.
This represents a triumph for
Speaker Garner and House Repub-
lican Leader Smell, who opposed the
expenditure. 'Vice-president Curtis
sought its inclusion.
The committee also refused to
vote the $4,000 asked for payment
of attorney fees for government
counsel engaged in defending the
claim to the famous Elk Hills oil
field, where the federal govern
ment hopes to regain approximate
ly $15,000,000 in valuable mineral
lands.

AUTHOR OF MATTOON ACT To
HEAD CAMPAIGN FOR REPEAL

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 80. U.P)-
Everett W. Mattoon, father of the
famous Nation act" affecting
property assessment districts, has
concluded there were too many
abuses attributed to the special
assessment laws, and has decided
to work for their repeal, he an
nounced today.
Mattoon, county counsel of Los
Angeles, has written and person.
ally contacted the countys 80 as
semblymen asking them to work
for repeal of the Mattoon act and
eight other acts pertaining to as
sessment districts.
The laws which he urges be re-
pealed during the legislative ses-
sion opening Tuesday are:
Road district improvement act of
1907; municipal improvement dis
trict act of 1915; improvement
bond act of 1915; acquisition and
improvement act of 1925 (the Mat

act of 1927; Vrooman street act of
1885; street opening act of 1889,
local Improvement act of 1901, and

Filipino Liberty
Fate Uncertain,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. U.Pj-
Philippine independence legisla-
ton, approved by both houses of
congress after years of argument,
faced an uncertain fate today at
the hands of President Hoover and
the islands themselves.
Many believed Mr.. Hoover would
veto the measure upon his return
from Florida next week.
The vote of I'll to 16 by which
the house yesterday completed
congressional action on the bill,
indicated veto probably would
be easily overridden in that cham
ber. Less certain was the situation
in the senate where no roll call
was taken.
If the bill is signed by President
Hoover, or passed over his veto,
its fulfillment will depend on ap-
proval by the Philippine legislature
or special convention. Already
there are rumblings from Manila
which may foreshadow a sharp
struggle.

NEBRASKA ON
WOOD AGAIN

NORFOLK, Neb., Dec 80. U.P)-
Woodpiles and woodsheds are be-
coming much in style in North Me-
braska this winter.
The cost of coal, fuel Oil and
natural gas has led many town and
country residents to turn to the
timbered creeks and rivers in the
north part of the state for fuel.
Woodchopping bees, almost for
gotten to the children of the men
and women who pioneered in this
section of the state, are becoming
common. Farmers are cutting wood
ION shares" with landowners, as in
the days of old.
Great ricks of cordwood may be
seen in the backyards of many
town and city residents. Fireplaces
that were formerly fired up but
once or twice a year in many of
the pretentious homes are now be-
ing used regularly for wood log
fires to heat the homes.
Most of the towns in this sec
ton of the state have established
community woodpiles, sending pam
handlers who ask the towns for
food and lodging to the woodpile
to chop for their bread and bed.
The wood is either sold and the
funds turned to relief agencies, or
the wood distributed out to fam
lilies that need fuel.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. U.P)-
Influenza epidemics in various

proved conditions probable in the
near future, it was said today at
the United States public health
service.
Assistant Surgeon General ]. p.
Leake told the United Press that,
while there probably would be small
influenza epidemics during the
next few weeks, he believed the
wave of Americas costliest disease
should now be on the decline"
The epidemic now is centering
in middelwestern and middle At
lantic states, according to United
States public health service reports.
There were 8,416 cases of influ-
enza in 81 cities throughout the
country last week, compared with
37,777 the previous week and 26,144
for the week ended December 10.
Preliminary reports to the health
service indicate another large in
crease this week. Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, and Kansas appear to be
hardest hit.
A complete report from the 81
cities for the week ended December
