partnership in which each one Of those
three divisions is expected to and is
going to do its share. This S400 ,0o0, 900
isn't going to cost the Federal Govern
ment any more money, because we are
taking it out of the large public works
appropriation of $1,000 ,o00, 900. 1t is
using portion of that fund in a very
practical way.
We might as well be perfectly frank;
1t has been exceedingly difficult honest
ly to allot the entire sum of $500 ,000,-
900 to worthwhile projects, every one
Of which has had to be scanned by To-
cal authorities, State authorities and
finally by the Federal Government.
believe the question was raised this
morning as to the transfer of some of
the projects to which allotments have
already been made by public works, and
I have been asked bp the Governor of
Wyoming to clear up that point. II is
possible that certain allotments already
made by Secretary Ickes to public
works may be transferred to Mr..
Hopkins Civil Works Administration.
Outlines Procedure.
The process, I am told, will be to
have that request made to the original
person who did the allotting-in other
words, the Secretary of the Interior
and if he approves of the transfer it
will then be made to the Civil Works
Administration under Mr.. Hopkins. /
think that straightens out the question
the Governor of Wyoming raised
Just one word more and am sort of
talking in the family. We have heard
good many charges and allegations
that have been made in regard to relief
work-the same kind of charges that
were made when I was Governor of
New York-charges that politics were
entering into the use of public works
funds and of emergency relief funds.
want to tell you very, very simply,
that your national Government Is not
trying to gain political advantage one
way or the other out OF the needs Of
human beings for relief. We expect the
same spirit on the part of every Gov
ernor OF every one of the 48 States and
on the part of every mayor and every
county commissioner and of every relief
agent. I would like to have the general
rule adopted that no person connected
with the administration of this S4O0,-
100000 will in any single case in any
political subdivision of the United States
ask whether person needing relief or
work Is Republican, Democrat, So
cialist or anything else.
Cooperation Assured.
am asking you to go ahead and do
your share. Most of the work will fall
on your shoulders. Most of the re-
SponSibility for the practical applica-
ton of the plan will fall on you rather
than on US in Washington. can assure
you that Mr.. Hopkins, Secretary Ickes
and all of the people connected with the
Federal Government are going to CO.
operate in putting this plan to work
quickly.
Speed is an essential. I am very con-
fident that the mere fact of giving real
wages to 100000 Americans who are
to-day not getting wages is going to do
more to relieve suffering and to lift the
morale OF the Nation than anything
undertaken before.

STORM DEATH LIST MOUNTS.
Country in Grip Of Frigid Blasts and
Heavy Snowfall.

BY the Associated Press
Inc cold wave from the Far North
country today continued to hold much
OF the North American continent in its
grip, bringing with 1t slowly mounting
death list, while the storm-tossed
North Atlantic imperilled shipping.
The weather man, meanwhile held
out little hope for relief today from
the fr1gid blast which affected the en-
tire country east of the Rocky Noun
tainS, after recording new lows for this
tlme OF the year in various parts of the
Midwest, including below at Bemidji
MINI. Parts of the East also were
hard hit.
pennsylvania counted a total of six
dead during the past two days, with a
new storm sweeping the northwestern
section OF the State, already buried
under a heavy snowfall. Two hunters
died in Ohio from over-exertion, and
the frigid blasts brought suffering to
Island inhabitants in Lake Erie, caught
short of fuel
One death from exposure was reported
in st. Paul. Detroit shivered with 8
above zero, and thousands of homeless
sought shelter in Chicago, which broke
50-year record for November Is, with
10 above zero yesterday.
Fears that the death list would he
increased by the loss of two coast
guards men in picket boat on Lake
Superior were dissippated when they
were reported safe on Madeline Island
Mild weather prevailed on the Pacific
Coast.
While Western Ontario dug itself out
OF the worst snowstorm in two decades,
sailors on the Great Lakes today cast
anxious eyes to the bays and channels
and hoped the thin coating of ice would
become no thicker.
The list of wrecks and near wrecks
remained unchanged today In the past
week. one vessel, the tug Florence, has
sunk. Another, the D. z. Calender. is
still aground near Long Point in Lake
Erie. Several others which were strand
ed have been pulled off, and the United
States Coast Guard boat 1908, missing
since Sunday with O two-man crew,
has finally reached port after being re-
ported lost.
Low water has congested the lower
st. Lawrence canals, and marine off,
cials fear the lack of constant move
ment may permit them to freeze up.
Even today, Ice was forming in the
small lakes below Sault Ste. Marie, and
threatening to block vessels from
reaching that port from the lower
lakes. The "bottle-neck" of Hay and
Mud Lakes some years ago trapped q
number of vessels In the ice, and they
remained there for weeks.
The land storm had assumed grave
proportions today. In the Western
Ontario areas, particularly, heavy
snow has fallen and railway snow
plows were being prepared for the ffrst
time in nine years.

Stock Market Investigators
Supplement Study by In

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate stock market Investigators an
nounced today they have sent question
naires to large banks throughout the
country to determine how much money
they have extended for stock market
operations.
Committee Investigators said the ques-
tionnaires were sent to the banks to
supplement the information they are
getting from brokers relative to opera
tions on the stock market.
Replies already are coming in from
the QUESTIONABLE sent to brokers who
are members Of the New York and
other stock exchanges.
Bankers were asked for information
on all loans during recent years for
syndicate, pool, or other stock market
operations, and marginal transactions.
In some cases the bankers have re-
fused to answer the QUESTIONABLE, COM
mittee agents said, because of their con-
fidential relations with clients.
A few subpoenas have been issued to
get the information
Among the banks to which subpoenas
have been issued are three of the largest
in Boston.
Committee agents said the subpoerlas
were issued to get the banks records
and that the officials served would not
be called If the information was furn-
ished.

BUCHAREST, November l6.-The
new Rumanian government OF Premier
ION G. Duca opened campaign last
night to combat a rising wave of anti
Semitism in Rumania.
The cabinet, which was sworn IN last
night, voted to dissolve two Of Runla-

Cuza's anti-Semitic National Christian
party.
The growing strength Of these organ

seats in the Chamber Of Deputies, caused
anxiety, particularly in view of recent
trict where, for instance, Nazis won 81
per cent of the total votes cast in a
recent election In Sibiu.

icy would be unchanged and that the

More jobs here are to be financed later

operation, it was announced.

ployment for the $4,000 men and women

sioners, organized today with the in
duction into Office of Melvin c. Hazen
and George E. Allen.
Must Be Started Soon.
District officials who have been con-
ferring with Federal officials on this
matter have been instructed that the
program must be started at once. Fri
day has been set as the day for the
''take-off."
BY early next week, District officials
say, between 1000 and 5000 men may
be at work under the new program. In
response to a call from Harry -. Hop
kins, Federal emergency relieI aominls-
traitor, who heads the new Civil Works
Administration, the District already has
compiled list OF projects requested by
various Government agencies here. The
present total cost is some $3 ,500.0 900.
A tentative program has been organ
ized by Capt. Howard F. Clark, Assist
ant District Engineer Commissioner
who is chairman of the Districts job
Assignment and Work Planning Com
mittee. This committee in the past
two years has been conducting a SIM
liar program to create work for per-
sons on the District relief rolls.
About 5000 men and women on the
District relief roster have been receiv-
ing financial aid from the District IN
return for work done on such projects.
Transfer is Provided.
Many of these men and women can
be transferred at once to the new civil
works pay roll as soon as the Commis-
sioners, acting under supervision Of the
Federal Civil Works Administration,
have designated projects to be done
under the new system.
One of the major types of work pro-
posed for the new District program will
be improvement of streets and alleys
Capt H. C. Whitehurst, director OF
highways, has formulated in detail a
program of this character having an
estimated cost Of more than $500, 900.
He estimates these items alone would
provide employment for about two
months for more than 5000 laborers.
Capt. Clark indicated today one of
the principal problems to be met will
be to find work for women on the Dis
trict relief rolls. This was the subject
of a conference today of the members
of his Planning Committee
Capt. Clark said the wages to be paid
here to Civil Works employees would
range from 40 cents to S1.10 an hour
for various grades of non-skilled and
skilled workers Persons given work
under the employment program will
have 30-hour week of six hours day

The following is the official steno-
graphic report Of President Roosevelt
address to relief workers at the White
House yesterday:
My friends, 1 will tell you an official
secret. Harry Hopkins wrote out two
and a half very excellent pages OF sug-
gestions as to what ! should say. They
are on the desk I subscribe to his SEN
timents 100 per cent. But, I am not
going to read them.
I don't want to talk to you officially,
but unofficially and cxtemporaneously
First of all, want to thank you for
coming here.
This group representing the entire
country, has in its hands to accomplish
something that no nation has ever be-
fore done. AS you know, during the
past eight months we have tried hon.
estly and practically to face problem
that no other nation in modern history
has ever been confronted with. We have
heard a gread deal of unemployment on
the other side, in England, in France
and in Germany, but at no time in any
one of those countries has the unem-
ployment situation even approximated
the unemployment situation in the
United States last Spring. You can
figure 1t at 100000 or 100000 or
100000, or whatever you like-on the
basis of population that is larger per-
centage of men, women and children out
Of work-in most cases suffering ply
sically and mentally-a larger proper
ton than anywhere else
Would Re-employ 4,0OO, 900.
During these months a great many OF
our unemployed have gone back to work
The number has been estimated vari-
ously at from 100000 to 5,000,00 The
actual figures make very little difference
because there are still great many, still
millions out of employment, and this
particular effort in which you and I are
engaged at the present time Is to put
100000 people from the list of those
still unemployed back to work during
the Winter months so that we can hon
estly say as Nation that this Winter is
not going to be like last Winter or the
Winter before
like to stress not only the fact OF
four million, but also the fact that of
those four millions of people two mil
lion are today on what we might just
as well call. frankly, dole. When any
man or woman goes on a dole some
thing happens to them mentally, and
the quicker they are taken off the dole
the better it is for them during the
rest of their lives.
We hope we can recruit two million
from the ranks of people who perhaps
ought to have been on the dole-per-
haps people who were too proud to ask
for assistance. In every community
most of us know of cases-many cases
of families that have been living along
barely subsisting, yet too proud to &c
and ask for relief. We want to help
that type of American family.
Venture a Partnership.
Now. this work is really and truly a
partnership partnership between the
Federal Government, the State govern
ments and the local governments-a

Hyder weekly herald., 1933-10-28

CT for those who are matrimon- ially inclined.
 An example of the latter ac- tivity is seen in the recom- mendations of the. Women's City Club of New York, which has been Investigating the sub- ject. Among other things it is recommended that girls under 16 be not permitted to marry except upon the consent of a judge. Also that no one of any age be allowed to wed until 5 days after the license is issued.
 There may be sound logic back of the first restriction, but the wisdom of the latter is assuredly an open question. To require mature persons to ob- tain marriage license 5 days ahead of the wedding date would undoubtedly result in much inconvenience and possi- bly, embarrassment.
 However, a glance at the personnel of the Investigating committee is hardly convincing as to its competency to pre- scribe red tape for the restrict ion of Cupid, anyway. There are five members of the com mittee-all unmarried women of the age at which ladies are sometimes referred to as old maids.

 A man spent one-half of his money and F cent more at the first store. At the second store he spent one-haff of what he then had and 12 cent more, and repeated the operation at a third and fourth store, and had nothing remaining. How much did he have at first?
