 "The federal government has no intention nor desire to force either upon the country or the unem- ployed themselves a system of re- lief which is repugnant to Ameri- can ideals of individual self reli- a4ce.
 ''Therefore, work prog ra m s which would not normally be un- dertaken by public bodies, but which are at the same time out side of the field of private indus try, will be projected and prosecut- ed in and near i II d u s r l q communities.
 Labor on. these projects will not be expected of dependent members of the community who are unable to iwork, but will be confined to those needy unemployed who can give adequate return for the un- employment benefits which they receive.
 "Work will be given to an indi- vidual for period not to exceed six months. This is in order that it may not be considered, or util- iZed, as a permanent method of support. It will be administered by and under the direction of those responsible for the unemployment relief activities in industrial con- munities.
 Every effort will be made to continue opportunities for work for the congressional groups in need-teachers, engineers, archl- tects, artists, nurses, and others.
 "This program expresses con- viction that industrial workers who are employed and in need of rel1ef should be given an opportunity for livelihood by the prosecution of a flexible program of public works The several states will be aided, as the federal relief law provides, in the financing of this enterprise.

FIRST CRACK-UP
 OF MAIL PLANE IN NEW ENGLAND
Lieut. Flaherty Had Tough Time Before He Turned
 Over in Boston

Boston, Feb 2S.-UP)-Lieu- tenant c. F. (Pat) F'laherty of the Army Aviation Corps escaped with a severe shaking when his Boeing pursuit ship overturned in landing at Boston airport today after a hectic air mail trip from Newark, N. J. It was the first crack-up in New England since the army took over the air mail service.
 A few hours earlier Flaherty's s ship had overshot the airport at Hartford, only other stop on the Newark-Bostonr run. and had nosed damage there was the packing of snow in the motor, and after an hours delay Flaherty was off for Boston again.
 The flyer brought the pursuit ship down all right on the icy run way, but couldn't bring it to a stop in normal time because of the wretched ground conditions. It shot far out into the northeast end of the field, pitched into the deeply drifted snow and turned complete somersault.
 Fellow army flyers and scores of other airport attaches rushed to Flaherty's aid and quickly arighted the ship. The flyer was dazed but apparently had suffered no serious injuries.
 The propeller of the pursuit ship was shattered, and the wings and motor were damaged considera bly,. The plane will need a complete overhauling before it is ready for service again, it was said.
 Flaherty left Newark airport at 5.30 a. m. and under normal con- ditions should have been in Bos- ton at 7:35. He was approximate ly an hour and 45 minutes over due.

NORWICH FACES ACUTE DISTRESS
 BECAUSE OF ICE
Thames River Blocked and Food Is ShOrt--Ice
 Breaker on Way

Norwich, Conn, Feb 28-(UP)- Continued blockade of the Thames river by ice has resulted ie "acute distress" to the city of Norwich and Immediate relief is impera- tive" Charles E. Smith, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, tele- graphed the eastern area headquar- ters of the coast guard to-day.
 Coal, oil and lumber supplies are extremely low" Smith wired, and unless the ice Is broken up serious damage will result to fac- tories and dwellings now edging the Thames, Shetuck and Yantic rivers.
 Only one main highway leading into the city is passable, Smith said, and it has been impossible to get much needed supplies to the city in the past two weeks.
 The coast guard ice-breaker Vigilante was reported making its way slowly through the sound to New London to begin the task of opening the Emile stretch up the river. The Vigilante last night was reported stuck off Stratford shoals, near Bridgeport, but gradually making headway against the ice.
 Smith stressed the need of im- mediate action in that the thick ice was threatening foundations of buildings, the masonry of many being built on the rivers edge and exposed to the constant battering of the river.
 New London, Conn, Feb 2S- 'UP)-The steel-hull coast guard ice-breaker Vigilante, crashing its way through foot thick jams on the Thames river. was hopeful of open- ing a channel to Norwich by night fall.
 The ice-breaker had negotiated half the distance, six miles, by mid morning and was experiencing coil- siderable difficulty. Rising temper. atures were expected to speed prog reSS.

Clarifies Program of
Struggle Against
A.A.A. Policies

Presenting a program of struggle
against the Roosevelt A.A.A. farm
program, which has brought ruin to
thousands of small farmers, the
Communist Party has revised Ger
tain provisions of its Farmers Emer-
gency Relief Bill
Calling for immediate cash relief,
production loans without interest,
and an END to all evictions and
sheriff sales, and for the cancella-
ton of all mortgage debts, the Bill
in its early version left the i'm
preston that the proposed Farmers
Committee were to become govern
mental agencies.
Sharper Demands Made
The new, revised draft makes 1t
clear that the farmers committees
ere to remain responsible only to
the farmers themselves. This is
now made definite in Section 10.
Other improvements in the Bill
make it clear that all loans shall
be on a long-term basis. Otherwise
the Bill remains essentially the
same, the most powerful weapon for
winning improvements in the we'll
being of the impoverished farmers.

lows:

while wages were SlaShed 6.8 per
cent during the same period for the
entire nation.
Although aggregate figures are
given, a comparison with past es-
Inmates made by the National IN
dustrial Conference Board, an em-
ployers' agency, shows an approx
nation of the number of jobs lost.
The National Industrial Conference
Board reported July drop of 81
per cent in industrial employment,
a total of 675, 900 jobs lost.
Included in the September drop
was the two-week strike of some
100000 textile workers. This, fig
ured on monthly basis by Secre-
tary Of Labor Frances Perkins, gives
loss Of $4,000 jobs for the
monthly period.
Perkins figures, which are usu-
ally inflated ballyhoo, admit. how
ever, a drop in employment re-
gardless of the textile strike for a
period which has shown a seasonal
increase every year since 1920.
Perkins, in estimating the, en-
ployment drop of 246,O0O in tex
tiles during September, admitted
that the number did not represent
the total men on strike.
While some improvement was
found in the manufacturing
industries, decreases in jobs and
wages were shown in both the
durable and durable goods in
industry.
Most notable of all, the index
of factory employment was So per
cent below Sept, 1898, and payrolls
were 2 per cent lower.
The iron and steel, automobile
and shoe industries showed the
greatest declines during the one
month period between August and
September.
