has been several
- years since there was
ice thick enough and lasting for
skating to be enjoyed. THAT
form of exercise and pleasure
has been almost an obsolete one,
and many of the boys and girls
have never had an opportunity
to find out whether they fixed
skating until these cold days.
Attics were visited to bring out
the skates of other days and
donned with a will, and Silver
Lake became the meeting place

sleds. Some of the experts, CT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-There
are more persons on relief in the
United States today than the
nations total population in 1910.
II all relief clients we're moved into
one city, its population would exceed
that of New York. Chicago, Phila-
delphia. Detroit. Los Angeles, Cleve-
land. St Louis and Washington
combined.
Relief is that big. It stretches out
its protective arm to more than
eighteen million men. women and
children. And the figure is still
rising.
Employment has increased in
1884. yet relief lists have continued
to climb. The answer is simple.
Many of the unemployed for awhile
maintained themselves on their saw
ings. or on the earnings of others
Now the savings have disappeared
and wage-earning relatives have
been forced to suspend aid. For
every relief client taken off relief.
at least one new face is added.
Private Nest Eggs Vanish
Relief totals, large as they are, do
not tell the story of unemployment.
Month by month, however, the two
curves-relief and unemployment
grow closer together as private nest
eggs vanish. In time, perhaps in a
year. if employment does not make
rapid gains, the curves will coin
eide.
The ratio of relief to population
varies as the labor market fluctuateS.
When industry picks up. relief totals
drop. As industry slackens. relief
rises Employment is not sustained
sufficiently to permit accumulation
by labor of a cash reserve. Loss OF
a job means re-application for re-
lief
A study of the relief load in "a

u. 5. SAVIOR
Depression to End in July,
Former G. o. P. Chieftain
Tells Chicago.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 12-Charles G..
Dawes, former Vice-President of the
United States, announced this aft
ernoon that the depression should
be completely wiped out mot later
than next June or July"
That date, he said, will mark "the
commencement of the year of full
business prosperity in the country"
just as BLACK Thursday marked the
beginning of the crash in 1929.
Gen. Dawes, who headed the first
governmental agency set up for re-
lief of the Nations distressed in
dustries and banks, made his pre-
diction-he called it a definite
prophecy"-at a luncheon of the
Chicago Association of Commerce.
Gives Roosevelt Credit
The former official in the Repub-
lican administrations of Calvin
Coolidge and Herbert Hoover gave
full credit to President Franklin D.
Roosevelt for restoring the country's
lost confidence and paving the way
for recovery.
Gen. Dawes said he applauded
President Roosevelt's course despite
the views of some as to the psyche
logical effects upon confidence of
this or that event"
IT think it may be justly as
sumed," he declared, that lost mass
confidence was restored by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's bank moratorium
in March, 1888, and that after that
date the general course of business
in consumer goods reflected no loss
in this recovery of confidence"
Gen. Dawes said that the average
man, struggling out of the depreS-
sion, buys the necessities-food, coal
and clothing. The purchase of
durable goods-a kitchen stove or a
new automobiles delayed
Hits Pump Printing System
you can't force or cajole him
into doing otherwise by pleas that
it will hasten recovery" Gen. Dawes
told his audience. That's the rea-
son why plans for printing the
pump lasted only as long as the
printing water held out.
THE demand for durable goods,
especially the heavier ones. always
rises last in a depression but it al
ways rises fastest With that rush
comes the beginning of a real pros
perity."
Gen. Dawes said that his theory
of recovery was based on an as
sumption that depressions are like
a raging fever and that the patients
recovery-once he has passed the
crisis-can be predicted definitely.

Cops Bare
Hatred for
S.Agents
Feeney Urges Co-0rdi-
nator for Federal
Forces at Farley.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times STAFF Writer

XXTAsHINGTON, Dec. 12.-
w "Coppers hate the G men.
They think the Department of
Justice is hogging the headlines.
Local and state forces say they
have been digging up the leads
on which the Government men
work, and have even flushed some
of the public enemies for the Fed
erals to shoot"
This summarizes a story that
is being told repeatedly by en-
forcement officers from the states
who are attending Attorney Cen
eral Homer Cummings crime con-
ference here.
The complaint is apparently not
going to reach the speakers plat
form. Yet it is heard from the
lips of state and city officials of
all ranks from governors to police
chiefs. They don't want to be
quoted-they say the &C" men
have such prestige now that it
would be useless to criticise them.
j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
&c" men. is often the target of
bitter attack in these converSa-
tions. He personifies to many
local officers the attitude of con-
deScension which they attribute
to the Federal forces.
That this feeling, justified or
unjustifed, is handicapping the
war on crime is admitted by Al
G. Feeney, chief of Indiana's
Safety Department.
What the Department of Just
ice needs said Mr.. Feeney, ''is a
co-ordinator-some one with di-
plomacy who can understand what
goes on in the mind of the aver
age policeman or sheriff.
This antagonism is based on
misunderstanding of the Federal
men and misconception of their
fine accomplishments under Di-
rector Hoover"

STATE SCORES
IN $40 MURDER
Pastors $4,000 Insurance
Policies introduced at
Wife'S Trial.
BIZ United Press


LEBANON, Ind, Dec. 12.-Three
insurance policies aggregating $29,-
900 on the life of Gaylord " Saun-
ders, former Wabash Methodist min
lister, were introduced this afternoon
during the murder trial of his wife,
Neoma, IS. by prosecutors.
They attempted to prove that
a desire of Mrs. Saunders to collect
the insurance provided one of two
motives for the Staying.
The insurance policies we're iden-
titled by Victor N. Jose, admins
traitor of the Saunders estate and a
member of defense counsel.
To prove that Mrs. Saunders knew
she was beneficiary in the insurance
policies, prosecutors recalled Mrs.
Mabel Bake who testified she had
heard Mr.. Saunders and his wife
discuss payment of the premiums.
Ross E. Curtis, Wabash, friend of
the Saunders family, was questioned
about a statement he gave to police
Feb in which he quoted Mrs,
Saunders as saying: Il had Mathers
kill my husband"
Curtis admitted the statement was
substantially correct.
Saunders, Mathers and Masil
Zoe were in my place from II to
II that night" Murray Slaughter,
indianapolis tavern proprietor, tes-
tilted.
Saunders was very drunk and
was telling me about all the good
times he had had in my tavern. Roe
and Mathers had to assist MIN to
the car when they left" Mr.. Slaugh-
ter said, adding that three nights
before the Staying, Mrs. Saunders,
her husband, Mathers and another
woman we're in his tavern drinking.
