COORDINATE PLAN
| FOR AID TO NEEDY
A. A. A. and Federal Emer.
gency Relief Body Work
on Food Distribution.

A two-fold purpose of relief for the
needy AID greater consumption OF
] farm surpluses is seen in the combined
program OF the Agricultural Adjustment
| Administration and the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administrator, following
the plan announced at the White
House last week to bring adequate food
and clothing to the destitute.
Both of the new emergency agencies
t are making their plans so as to dove
tail and accomplish the same double
Ecofomists Of the A. A. A. have cited
statistics to show the goal of the ad-
ministration is the paradoxical situa-

order to increase consumption through
F., the ordinary channels of trade.
Makes Consumption Possible.
They assert the process being set in
| motion "iS not mere diversion OF farm
/ products from one channel to another,
but that it will actually make possible
| consumption of goods in addition to
the amount which would otherwise be
| distributed and sold this Winter"
This, they declare, Is true because
| the amount of relief distributed has
, been at the Level of bare subsistence,
SO recipients Of relief have been con-
Stunning all the food given them either
in quantity or variety
Figures were cited to show States
have spent an average ranging from

| which approximately 80 per cent has
been used for the purchase of food.
| BY supplying greater allowances for
] the needy through the purchase of

CELLS RUNNING WILD
ARE DECLARED CAUSE OF CANCER
Ne,c Doctrine of Ce-Sensitiveness and X-Ray Treat
ment, Replacing Old Belief of Cure, Reported
to american Congress of RadioIogy.

This sensitiveness, DR.. Stevens added,
Is especially marked at the time Of cell
division, which is q continuous process,
so that X-ray treatments need to be
repeated again and again.
Mary experts, he continued, think
that X-ray does not affect cancer cells
directly, but stimulates normal tissues
to correct the cancer growth. The new
doctrine of cell-sensitiveness, he said,
has displaced the old belief. High
voltage X-rays, he added, which are
one million billion times shorter than
average wireless rays, coincide in wave
length approximately with the size Of
the cancer cells atoms and are there
fore readily absorbed and able to break
down the chemical and electrical struc-
ture of the cancer atom.
The resistance Of the human skin to
X-rays increases with the voltage Of the
ray, DR.. G. Failla Of New York told the
congress, reporting on studies of pene-
tration made by him with TOO ,000-volt
machines. At the same time, deep
seated cancers require heavy dosage
with X-ray, he said, but are more SEN
sitive to the rays, so that skin damage
is lessened and cancer destruction in
creased with the new gigantic appa-
ratus.

CONTRACTORS AID
PLANNED BY j. s
Howe to Head Group to Pre-.
vent Losses Where N.R.A.
Boosted Costs.

The administration mas moved to air:
contractors engaged on Government
projects, whose operating costs have
been increased by adherence to the
N. r. A., and who, consequently, faced
losses under the terms of their agree
ments, it became known today.
A committee, headed by Louis Nc
Henry Howe of the presidential Sec
retariat, has been named to handle
these cases, and what was described
as small sum" was allotted to pro-
tect those involved
Issue Was Foreseen.
The issue was one that it was rec
ognized at the outset of the N. r. A.
movement would have to be met,
President Roosevelt foreseeing the ne
Cessity for compensatory action under
some existing contracts, and it was
more sharply defined under q decision
by Controller General McCarl to the
Attorney General.
The latter advised Mr.. McCarl that a
contractor furnishing ducking produced
at the Atlanta Penitentiary was run
ming into loss by reason by adherence
to the N. r. A. labor code, and asked
what relief could be afforded McCarl
said that in the absence of any legal
provision to the contrary, it would be
impossible to do otherwise than let the
contractor lose.
The opinion, however, is that the re-
covery act is so broadly drawn that the
emergency fund may be drawn upon
for this contingency.
Only Few Contracts Involved.
Only small percentage of Govern
ment contracts thus far have been
shown to be involved, it was said to-
day in an informed quarter. These In
the main have had to do with engineer
ing projects, under Army supervision in
the South, where common labor, not so
long ago getting 10 cents an hour, has
been boosted to 40 cents.
AS it was pointed out, a contractor
figuring to make $1,000 on a job total
ing $4,000. for example. would be
faced with an entirely different picture
where his labor costs we're quadrupled.
In general, it IS such little fellows
who will be aided. it was said. The
major contracts-such as public build
ing-are in no wise involved, their pay
rates being high. and having been ade-
Quately taken care of under the con-
tracts as made.
In addition to the White House the
agencies represented in the committee
are the War. Navy. Interior, Post Of
flee and Justice Departments and the
Budget Bureau. L. W. Robert, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, who Is di-
recting the public building program, is
the vice chairman and Admiral c. J.
Peoples Is acting as secretary.

threatening trouble between the Jap
anese and Russians in Manchuria as a
result of their dispute over operations
of the Chinese Eastern Railway.
Now it appears the japanese are con-
centrating their attack in the western
war zone in order to break up stub
born Chinese resistance which has
stood fast during week Of the heaviest
Sino-Japanese fighting this year.
Seaport Cities Re-occupied.
On the eastern front the Chinese
claimed today to have completed the re-
occupation of the 55-mile stretch Of the
Peiping- -Mukden railroad from the
Ivan River to Chinwangtao. The sea-
port cities of Chinwangtao and Peitatho,
the latter on a small branch road to
the coast, were reported taken over TO-
day.
The Chinese were advancing swiftly
on the heels of the japanese as the lat
ter voluntarily gave up mile after mile
of territory which it had taken them
the past two weeks to capture.
There were no contacts reported be-
tween the forces, as the Japanese and
Manchukuan armies were carried back
toward Shanhaikwan and Shihmenchai
their bases along the Great Wall OF
China, by railroad.
About 200 miles to the westward. on
the road leading from Kupeikow to
Peiping, the Chinese were said to have
dug in and halted the japanese infan-
try, weathering an aerial bombing and
artillery attack by the Japanese. The
japanese infantry was reported at
tempting to advance behind a smoke
screen.
Fall Of Nantienmen Reported.
Their immediate objective was Nam
tienmen. The Japanese reports said
their troops were within about so miles
Of Peiping.
Both Chinese and Japanese reports
have disclosed heavy death toll in the
weeks fighting in that region. The
japanese reports said that nearly 5000
Chinese had been slain and admitted
loss of at least 200 japanese.
A Peiping dispatch said the japanese
legation announced the occupation of
Nantienmen by the Japanese after a
day of hard fighting.
Furious fighting was IN progress
throughout the day for the possession
of Nantienmen. The Japanese used
eight bombing airplanes and the Chi

ceding the date Of dismissal of the
employe.'
"A fair, just and equitable dismissal
wage law would, in operation, soften
the blow which employees dismissed
from the service of the Federal Gov
eminent are bound to feel. 1t will help
tide the dismissed employees over the
very difficult period between their dis
missal from the employ of the Federal
Government and the date when they
may find new employment in other
lines or in other callings.
The payne of dismissal wage has
been made by limited number of en-
ployes in private industry. There are
instances where workers who have been
displaced through the introduction of
machines have been paid a dismissal
wage. The wage thus paid has proved
to be very great economic and social
benefit.
Would Set Example.
1T would seem but fair and just that
the Federal Government should set an
example to private industry by providing
particularly at this time. when it Is the
announced purpose Of the Government
to reduce the number of workers en-
ployed through consolidation Of depart
ments, the merging of others, and
through general dismissal Of working
men and women.
Many employees Of the Federal Gov
eminent are being dismissed each day
an deach week. AS a result, they are
forced to make immediate adjustments
in living standards None Of these en-
ployes SO dismissed is prepared for such
an experience. 1t seems cruel, indeed,
to dismiss workers abruptly. turning
them loose to shift for themselves at a
time when the opportunity to secure new
employment is very limited, indeed.
Let the Government be just in deal
ing with its employees, let it apply JUS
tice to dismissed workers by paying
them sum of money classified as
dismissal wage, meager though it may
be. but helpful to the distressed work.

THREAT Of BONUS
. MARCH RECED|NG
Decision Will Be Held Up at
Least Two Weeks, Says
F0uIkr0d.

The threat Of a second bonus march
on Washington appeared to be reced-
ing today as the Senate moved toward
a vote on the Robinson amendment to
the farm determination bill to pay the
soldiers bonus In cash to unemployed
veterans.
The White House announced yester-
day, after visit Of the bonus army's
legislative agent. Harold B. Foulkrod,
that there would be no march on
Washington. Foulkrod. however, quail
fled the announcement by saying the
decision whether to march or not would
be held up at least two weeks, pending
q second conference at the White
House.
On Capitol Hill yesterday Represent
ative Patman, Democrat, of Texas suS-
pended his drive for a Democratic
caucus on the issue, and the fight on
the House side Immediately shifted to
Representative Ernest Lundeen, Farm
er-Laborite. Of Minnesota, who started
petition on the rounds to force a
House vote on Patman's cash-payment
bill. If this gets las signatures 1t must
be voted upon on the House floor. It
was by this method that the cash bonus
payment bill got to a vote at the past
session.
Patman and other leading Demo-
cratic bonus advocates conferred with
Speaker Rainey and Democratic Leader
Byrns on the proposed bonus caucus
Patman afterward explained that the
caucus idea was dropped because:
The situation has changed since
the caucus was considered Because of
the introduction of our proposal in
the Senate by Senator Robinson of
Indiana, it has resulted in Senate con-
sideration first
1T is our view that that body should
consider 1t first, since the House passed
the bonus last year, 2ll 10 176, and
the Senate defeated it, 81 to 18.
I'VE still believe that payment Of
the adjusted service certificates Is the
best vehicle to convey money into
every section Of the country immedi-
ately, and we expect to urge the pro-
posal in every proper way. but with
the distinct understanding that we in
tend to cooperate with the admins
tration and throw no monkey wrenches
into the machinery"
Foulkrod, the B. E. F. legislative
agent, conferred for about two hours
with Col. Louis McHenry Howe, presi-
dental secretary, at the White House
yesterday. He emerged smiling from
the conference and seemed satisfied
