misery and distress stalking
through Washington unless
Congress approves the 100000
unemployment relief appropria-
ton was given by Paul L. Benja-
min today in a statement which

The statement, which supple

points out that the work relief
program of the committee will
cease May /, unless additional
funds are made available. On

$500 men and women were en-
ployed every other week by the
committee.
Applications from 6,823 unem-
ployed were received by the COM

children in the families of these
persons are considered, bring the
total of those wanting to 10000,
according to the statement.
A study of 3,083 applicants

AGREES
To HOOvER'S
SAVING PLAN
Next Week Will Consider His
5-0ay Week; Will Chop
Expenses $20O,OOO,0OO

Yielding to President Hoover
and to Speaker Garner, the
House Economy Committee to-
day decided to draft an omni-
bus economy bill designed to
save at least $20O,0OO,O0O next
year.
The bill probably will be pre-
sented to the House next week,
Speaker Garner said.
Delay Several Days
An upset in the schedule fur
ther delayed the report of the
economy bill when the Speaker
and Representative Smell (RO of
New York, minority floor leader.
conferred with the committee to-
day and agreed that the legisla-
tive appropriation bill, to which
the omnibus bill is to be at
tached as a rider, will not be
brought up for several days.
The Navy appropriation bill
will be introduced and given
consideration prior to introduc.
ton of the legislative bill, and is
expected to consume four days
of deliberation.
Suspension of the rules of the
House will be asked this after
noon in order that the Interior
bill, as amended by the Senate.
may be submitted for approval.
The Senate further reduced the
Interior appropriation of 10 per
cent over House reductions and
Speaker Garner said he believed
the Senate action should be up
held.
Lump All Savings
The rlan of the President, sup
ported by Speaker Garner and
Representative Byrns 3D., of Ten
nessee, chairman of the Appropri-
ations Committee, is to lump all
money-saving plans in one bill and
offer the House an opportunity to
adopt a program to save $780,
100000 to $250,000.0O0 a year, or
vote it down.
Another phase of the question
is a proposal to include Army-Navy
consolidation in an omnibus bill.
Mr.. Hoover is opposed to this mer-
ger. which is favored by Demo
cratic leaders of the House in the
belief it would save $50,000,000
yearly.
Merger Stirs Wrath
The committee is divided on
Mr.. Hoover's request for blanket
authority to effect consultations
subject to a 6Aday veto limit by
Congress.
Democratic House leaders have
insisted that Mr.. Hoover submit
definite consolidation proposals
at the present session.
The committees action today
forecasts victory for the five-day
week and furlough plans of cut
ting pay of Government workers,
as against the IL per cent salary
slash favored originally by the
economy committee.

Six Great Landmarks
This idea of an expanding universe upon which
mathematcians and physicists have been working in
our own time was called by Sir James the sixth of the
landmarks of science established in the last six thou
sand years. AS the first of these six the publca
ton in 1543 of the theories of Copernicus,
count the whole six landmarks in less than four hun
dred years. And can also wonder how many of
these profoundly important books any intelligent man
has read.
mentioned the title of the first landmark looking it
up, find that it called "De Revoutonibus Orbium
Coeestium" About Newton we know that in 1865 he he
sitting in his orchard and saw apple drop to
the ground. But what else do we know of his 'Prn-
cipia published twenty years later? Darwin appeared
in the age of publicity. His "Origin of Species is
casonay read, but have found only half dozen men,
outside of scientists, who could give clear account of
what the title meant. It is mysterious as electricity
the discovery of which is Sir James fourth landmark
although it is not nearly obscure as Enstens theory
of relativity which is the fifth.
1t doesn't often to that because of Copernicus
our form of government is reputedy democratic and
that have troubles with the younger generation,
and that armies consist of millions of men, and
that in Western countries at least most human beings
learn how to read. What Copernicus did work
of annhlaon He destroyed the idea that the heavens
and the glory thereof existed for the sake of the earth
There has probably been great shock to self
esteem the suggestion that the earth merely
accidental peck of ensaved to the Indifferent
sum- For, if the earth not important, man, for
whose deectaton the earth seemed to have been made
became accident, too
Darwin and War
Skip Newton for moment and come to Darwin who
repeated and drove home the same lesson, since he
proved that man only one of many animals smart
animal, but not yet entirely civilized animal with
no more rights (and by implication, with duties)
than other beast of the field Isn't Darwin little
responsible for the breakdown of the rigid laws of sexual
morality? Isn't the chatter about the survival of the
fttest the distant of the Battle of the Marine?
And too of the panic of 1929 and present
woe?
skipped Newton because what Copernicus and Darwin
DESTROYED, Newton and Einsten have partly rebuilt;
that is the dignity, the noboty, of human life.
1t does not matter that Ensen revises destroys the
laws that Newton announced The important thing is
that both of them, and thousands of other SCIENTISTS
and some artists and moralsts, and perhaps several
million obscure and decent human beings are trying to
do the one thing which makes human life nobe-that
l they are trying to find out by what immutabe laws
our lives are governed So long take pleasure
