FORUM FOR j. 8.
JOBLESS HERE

Fourteenth Street and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Northwest has been
the location of a street corner
forum for several former Govern
ment workers who lost their en-
ployment through reorganization
of the forces doing the financial
survey of urban housing.
The. workers, who were let out
some weeks ago, meet almost daily
to compare notes on their efforts
to secure transfers to other Gov
ernment offices, one of them re-
vealed. Several are said to have
applied for emergency relif.
About 200 workrs lost their posi-
tions when the so-called intensive
survey" of urban housing was re-
organized and continued under
FERA funds, more than a month
ago. Officials of the survey ex-
planned that limits of the new ap-
preparation made the step neces-
Sary.
The survey of urban housing
throughout the country began with
CWA funds, and geenral sta
tistical table was completed with
these. Greater detail involved in
the intensive survey made neces-
sary an FERA appropriation for
it's continuance.

This business of being a father
is taken seriously by Jack Demp-
sey, former heavyweight cham
pion of the world, and the proud
daddy of three-day-old Joan
Dempsey.
Here for the fight at the Riding
and Hunt Club last night, Demp-
sey was full of information re-
garding Joan, who, he says, al
ready shows the fighting spirit.
Father Dempsey is not at all
disappointed that the baby
turned out to be Joan, and not
Jack, jr.
Girls, he opined sagely, are
more of a comfort to their par
ents. They stay home with them
and;
"Just think when Hannah's
about 40 she will have Joan,
about 20. It'll be grand"
Small Joan is going to be
brought up strictly-but not too
strictly. She is going to be a
modern young girl-but not too
modern. For instance:
"The one thing 1 am going
to insist upon is that she stays
home nights. 1 Idon't like young
girls running around. She can
bring home all the friends she
wants but she is going to have
to be at home"
Her early regime is going to
include all the usual things. In
bed at regular hours, meals
ditto, cod liver oil and, says
Dempsel:
"Of course, spinach"
His wife, he confides, ate all
kinds of such things before Joan
was born-milk, vegetables, cod

good physique. Still impressed
with the miracle of birth, he con-
tinued:
"Hannah really had terrible
time, you know. It's all fool
ishness talking about fathers
suffering. Kind of makes me
mad. I was upset and all that,
but it was lots worse for Han
nah, and don't you forget it,"
Proudly he finished:
But do you know the first
thing she said? It was that we
were going to have another
right off so Joan wouldn't be
spoiled"
The next one" can be either
girl or boy so long as it is as
healthy, because:

REDS BLAMED
FOR STRIKES

Charging that communists have
been largely responsible for the
industrial conflicts now gripping
the country, the washington Mon
arch Club, a civic organization, in
sharply worded letter to the De-
partment of Labor today urged
immediate deportation of all unde-
sirable aliens.
AS a result of communistic &C
tivities in this country, the letter
states, the expenditure of billions
of dollars by the Government has
been largely nullified. The Mon
arch Club scored the efforts of
the National Committee for the
Defense of Political Prisoners,
which is now fighting deporta-
ton charges against members OF
the Communist party.
The letter, signed by the clubs
secretary. F. Carol Howard, as
serts that it is idle for the Gov
ernment to spend hundreds of
millions of dollars for Navy to
protect the nation from external
enemies as long as it permits
the growth of activities of venom
Gus and reasonable groups within
its borders"
If an American citizen were to
go into Italy or Russia and engage
in any such reasonable activities
as the Communists in this coun-
try, he would be executed within
% hours, the letter states.

A statement issued by the American

1T is recognized that the making of

within the discretion of the President
and that it does not call for agree
ment or acquiescence by the parties

But with the selection of an i'm

command this confidence of the public

cooperation of all interests should be
secured.

CHICAGO. June 3o.-A "subversive
movement" of non-participation IN
war is Creeping into our churches, "
National Comdr Edward A. Hayes of
the American Legion said in a pre-
pared address today.
Hayes was scheduled to speak at

tury of Progress. but after a brief visit
said he had to leave hastily to be in
Detroit late today, and Illinois State
Comdr. Charles Kapschul made an
impromptu speech and read the main
portions of Hayes address.
Hayes in his address called atten-
ton to an article published in the

Methodist Church Epworth League,
which, he said, recommended II

Army and then destroy munitions.
Oflcials of the publication stated that

Hayes also said movement against
participation in war was spreading
in colleges, citing recent startling
events" at the University of Ohio,
Texas Christian University and Co.
lumbia University in New York.
Students were taking oaths not to
bear arms in too many instances"
he said.
The church magazine article, Hayes
said, told young Methodists that they
had four choices in the event of war.
They we're:
To be killed or dismembered-"the
honorable way of patriotism;
To be a conscientious objector-
with high courage"
To enlist and then sabotage by de-
stroying equipment, or
To throw down the present eco
nomic system-"of which war is a
part"
Hardly Believed 1t.
"When the Epworth Herald was
brought to my attention recently I
would not believe it until had seen
the printed copy" the Legion man
said.
He said he had found at Texas
Christian College that "a student
leader advised a boys conference that
only fools fight wars"
He reported another phase OF this
destructive menace" at Ohio State
University, where number of minis
tiers were supporting students who de-
clined to take military training.
At Columbia, he said, several hun
dred students adopted a resolution
that under no conditions would they
comply with the edict of the War De-
partment in the event of another

FUTURE BUSINESS

FiIene Suggests Commits
sions to Make Recon-

Three new presidential commissions
will be named to conduct long grange
study and submit tangible recon-
mendations to the Business Advisory
and Planning Council of the Depart
ment of Commerce, if proposals of
the council are approved by Secre-
tary Roper and President Roosevelt.
The council met in executive session
here last week and after receiving re-
ports from a number of standing COM
mittees accepted the suggestion of
Lincoln Filene of Boston to set up
the commissions to determine Cd a
future national policy of labor rela-
tions, % future national policy to
take effect when the N. R. A. expires,
and go future national policy to
govern problems of prices and
monopolistic tendencies.
Long Range Study.
Filene urged that business repre-
sentatives, such as the advisory and
planning council itself. devote serious
attention to plans of long-range
nature, designed to develop self-gov-
ernment in industry, an efficient
permanent economic and social pro-
gram and a smoothly functioning
economic system arising out of N.
r. A. organization.
In advocating future plans for the
council, Filene held "the important
thing is to recognize that the time
has now arrived when we as business
men have clear duty to ourselves and
to the country to propose a definite
contribution to future economic plan
ming by initiating and cooperating
in some fundamental, forward looking
researches"
Committee Named.

Federal housing bill and the wide
spread unemployment as a result of
slack building construction, the coun-
Gil named a special Private Construc-
ton Committee to cooperate with
