announcement that the Civil

serving Democrats" in charge Of
Women's work in tn States and

According to plans OF the
woman's division of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration,
which also includes the CWA, an
organization is to be set up in
each State through which work
relief projects will be devised to
aid unemployed women.
BackerS Active
It was learned that Democratic
women have been petitioning
CWA heads to appoint women
who have worked for the party
to these positions.
It was understood, however,
that Mrs. Ellen S. woodward,

who is herself a politician, is
opposed to any such appoint

LABOR REVIEW

Monetary uncertainty is seen

The A. F.. of L. unemployment
estimate showed 10,076,000 jobless
In October, against 10,065,0 900 in

crease in employment indicated
for November.

ing upward and purchasing power
TO be increasing. Farm buying
power, as we'll as that of industrial
workers, seems to be on the up
grade.
Of the monetary policy the re-
port says:
"The situation is too nervous
for the confidence business
needs.
"Tampering with the currency
Is a very serious matter, for
buying power of a dollar is of
the greatest concern to every
American citizen. Since we left
the gold standard in April, de-
Clines in the dollars value and
demands for initiation have
caused alarm in the business
world, and acted as a brake on
recovery"

UNITS TIGHTEN
GAG ON PRESS

Tightening up Of press regula-
lions in Federal offices, particu-
larly in the emergency agencies,
has been noticeably on the in
crease of late, and as a result
Federal employees are watching
their step" more carefully than
ever.
MIRA some time ago took a
stand that information should be
given out only through the recog-
nized publicity agents or through
General Johnson. Later the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton and the Treasury clamped on
what scribes in those parts char
acterize as a censorship.
Statistics Guarded
It has been tacitly admitted
that censorship is applied to some
extent at the Department of La
Dor. particularly in respect to sta
tistical information, and Secre-
tary Perkins from the beginning
of her regime centralized publicity
largely in her own hands.

that it is planted in rows to serve
as fences for coralling cattle. Still
another class of opuntia was used
by Luther Burbank in producing
his famous "spineless" cactus, a
specimen Of which is in the De-
partment Of Agriculture green
houses.
The "spineless" type was devel-
oped because the plant itself
formed an excellent food for cat

removed.

Here's another fact-did you
know that the celebrated might

tus? Several plants of this type
are preserved in the local green
houses.
The cacti being cared for by the
Department Of Agriculture are the
residue of a collection once used
by DR.. j. N. Rose, a botanist with
the Smithsonian Institution, for
purposes of classification.
When DR.. hose died, the plants
were TUNED over for safe-keeping
to the Department of Agriculture
until their eventual abiding place
could be selected. At present, they
are under the care of j. Wise
Byrnes, superintendent of the
greenhouses.

Grimes has not sent in his reSig-

to the law, one person can't hold

The tax cut would be for a
year only and be made possible
through the change of the date Of

This would be one of the lowest
