STATEHOOD MOVES
STUDIED BY|SLANDS
Puerto Rico and Hawaii May
Act for Admission to Union
This Session.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
II some of the members legally
accredited to Capitol Hill have their
way the United States before long will
have so instead of 48 States.
In fact, it was indicated today efforts
to extend the Union to include Puerto
f1ftieth States may come before the
present session of Congress.
Delegate McCandless Of Hawaii said
Hawaiians, with State-sized popula-
ton of $4,000, felt their Territory had
completed all the requirements for legal
entry into the Union and that success
In persuading the Senate to admit q
delegate from Hawaii would determine
his position in pressing for statehood at
the current session.
Hawaii's non-voting delegate in the
House and Delegate Dimond of Alaska
have a proposal to extend their privi-
leges TO the Senate as well, now resting
before the Senate Judiciary Committee
The Hawaiian statehood matter pre-
viously has achieved some favorable
consideration, but in the last session
bitterness that grew out of the Massie-
Fortescue murder case thwarted further
efforts.
Commissioner Iglesias of Puerto Rico
says any move to bring that heavily
populated island into the Union will
await formal action Of its Legislature
meeting in February. He personally
strongly favors statehood and believes
the Legislature might request him to SC
petition CONGRESS.

first call Is for Americans to retain q
little common sense, to get at the roots
and fundamentals. Coming, as we have,
through an age that has been SO thor
oughly selfish, can't help but feel
that In our present efforts to destroy
the thing that has destroyed us we are
still aiding institutions and people
whose primary purpose in life Is greed
and power"
The Guilds Of America, he said, might
be made an instrument "for protecting
the small industrial and business unit
from being overwhelmed by large-scale
industry. The guilds might be created
through Federal incorporation by char"
ter granted by Congress. This auto
matically gives them a national status.
The Red Cross is an instance in point.
I would like to propose that the Federal
Government create the machinery for
protecting the small business unit"

ROOSEVELT'S WAGE
STAND EXPLAINED
Presidents Letter Says
Emergency That Brought
Cut Is Not Yet at End.

ITO undo the excellent result OF
the economy act of last Spring would
be unfortunate for the very simple
reason that we are very definitely
still in an emergency period" Presi-
dent Roosevelt wrote to Chairman Bu-
chanan of the House Appropriations
Committee in explanation of his action
in denying Government employees any
restoration in pay on January l.
The letter, made public today by
Chairman Buchanan, follows in' part:
II have taken this action only after
an exceedingly careful check-up by
the Department of Labor in relation
to the cost of living during the past
six months. AS you know the act Of
March 20, 1888, authorizes me to re-
store portion of the Is per cent
reduction only If the index figures rise
to above Is per cent below the cost
of living index for the base period.
Study Figures Cited
II have had two careful examina-
tions made. The first of these relates
to the general cost of living and shows
that it is still 21.1 per centum below
the index for the base period in the
country as a whole. The other set Of
findings concerns the cost of living
of Government employees in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. In this case the
cost of living is 14.6 per centum below
the index for the base period.
May I call your attention to the
fact that all of these figures are based
on data obtained by Government en-
ployeS themselves and that every effort
has been made to arrive at the truth.
I know also that you will realize that
the overwhelming majority of Federal
employees are scattered throughout the
United States. In a few cities 1t is
undoubtedly true that the present cost
Of living is slightly higher than the Is
per centum reduction of pay warrants.
1t is necessary, nevertheless, under the
law. to take the average as there is no
provision for picking out special local
tiles for differences in rates.
Discusses July Program.
"The action taken by me will, know
be of interest to your committee in
connection with the appropriation bill
have recommended a fiat restoration
Of 5 per cent, or one-third of the Is
per cent reduction, this restoration to
apply to the next fiscal year I have
asked also for authority to restore such
portions of the balance of 10 per cent
as may be warranted by a possible
further increase in the cost of living
I hope that your committee will &c
along with the suggestions. The prob
lem of returning as quickly as pos
sible to a balanced budget is involved
To undo the excellent result of the
economy act of last Spring would be
unfortunate for the very simple reason
that we are very definitely still in
an emergency period. in which all OF
us are seeking to bring back recovery
as quickly as possible.
II shall, of course, be glad to talk
with you and the members Of your
committee at any time"

"A MAJORITY of colds start
in the nose-and many of them
can be stopped right there. Not by
inserting oily substances that may
ADD to congestion, but with a
triple-action VAPOR that clears
congested passages, soothes men,
branes, and strengthens the cold
fighting powers of the nose.
You make an effective vapor-
tent this way: In the center of a
folded handkerchief put a little
VAPEX. Then hold this VA
PEXed handkerchief over your
nose, and breathe in deeply.

The triple-action vapor is re-
leased as you inhale. It reaches
far back to the hidden passages,
and clears the way for good fresh
air to get to the innermost cold
infected area. This alone is a val
liable aid in clearing up your cold

But the vapor of VAPEX goes
further than this to curb your

seven Of Walt Disney's Mickey

And the general reaction de-
spite the fact that all of Wash

cartoon almost a dozen times,
has been What! No Pigs?"
And so Carter Barron, Loew's
city manager, hastily made ar
rangementS to include this sub
ject on the special program. It
will be remembered-and prob
ably never forgotten-that this
cartoon sensation gave life and
probably Immortality to that
