PARIS, March "a. (UP)-Au-
thoritative sources asserted here
TODAY that Soviet Russia, fearful
of the collapse of disarmament eff
forts, was eager to lead great
movement of world powers for the
revival of the prestige of the
League of Nations and was nego-
tiating with the United States to
that end. =,
1t was asserted that United
States Ambassador William c..
Built to Moscow and Russian
Ambassador Alexander Troyanov-
sky at Washington are conducting
negotiations on behalf of their
governments.
The informant said that Russia
is hopeful of reviving the moral
political authority of the league
and that if terms can be arrang-
ed, to announce her own entry at
the annual assembly in September.
Russia's fears are based on the
withdrawal of Germany and ia
pan, two great neighbors, and the
danger of an armament race.

WIDER RELIEF
LEGISLATION
GETS HEARING
Roosevelt Endorses Unem-
ployment Insurance as
State Function
OFFICE SUPPLY BILL
STILL DEADLOCKED
BY c. c. NICOLET
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Mar. "a CUP
The administrations new relief
program, replacing public works
will be pointed at developing the
"more abundant life" which Pres
ident Roosevelt has espoused as
the goal of his administration, 1t
became evident yesterday.
While providing work for the
needy is the direct goal, the ad,
ministration envisages a broad
program of slum clearance, hous-
ing construction and development
of recreational facilities.
Seeking a similar objective by
another path, the president late
Yesterday endorsed the pending
unemployment insurance bill in
congress, calling it ian essential
part of our program to build a
more ample and secure life" The
bill provides an excise tax on
large employers. but allows them
to deduct from the tax any sums
contributed to state unemploy-
ment insurance program. In Ell
feet, the bill would tax only
those employers not participating
in state insurance programs.
Benefits from unemployment
insurance, the president said in a
letter to Chairman Doughton OF
the house ways and means COM
mittee would not be limited to
the individuals actually receiving
payment but would extend
throughout our social and finan-
cial fabric" He endorsed the
theory of handling unemployment
insurance as a state rather than
federal matter, and emphasized
that caring for the jobless was
primarily state function.
This same theory of encourag'
ing localities to help their owr
needy instead of relying on Wash
ington was brought up earlier IN
the day when the president con-
ferred with Jesse Jones, Recon
struction Finance Corpn. chair
man; Secretary of Interior 1ckes
and Relief Administrator Hopkins
on a municipal loan program
The tentative plan is for the gov,
eminent to match dollar for dol

cities for public works to provide
employment.
The new relief program was
discussed by Hopkins aides yes
terday with 20 federal and NUM-
cipal officials, welfare workers
and labor executives. AS Hopkins
outlined the program for the
press the destruction of useless,
insanitary or unsafe buildings
and the remodeling and repair OF
other structures would be a prl-

A Little Prose

Have heard it said with both eyes
red, to bar all poetry from print; it
seems rather rough to be so tough,
but we are not running the mint.
We know in time that innocent
rhyme will not send anyone To-
well, but a little prose to these or
those will give only a challenge to
tell: new moon is over my shoul-
der, to a wish I'm entitled they say;
and if it come true as claimed it
should do, there is something COM
ing my way. / can't figure out what
it's all about, but they tell me it's
coming to stay; for my wish wand
ers back to the old school shack on
the hill many years ago, when /
dreamed of a time my silly old
rhyme would be given the public to
know-we are not printing such
foolish thinking-and my sadness
continues to grow. So I'm asking
my wish just to take me back to the
old school shack, and give me the
beaming, the hopes and the dream
