Ignores Red
Charges

The new issue of the Red
Network, a collection of names
Of alleged "Reds" published by
q Chicago woman again lists
Mrs. Roosevelt as a dangerous
radical.
In addition to the various
charges brought against her in
the last issue, the new volume
declares she spoke for the Ladies
Garment Workers over the DebS
(Socialist) station WEVD and
that, no doubt, it had been Mrs.
Roosevelt's interest that had
won the sanction of the Federal
Radio Commission for the sta
ton.
At her conference today,
Mrs. Roosevelt said that as far
as she could remember she had
never spoken for the Ladies
Garment Workers unit over
WEVD. She said, however,
that she frequently found at
dinner and meetings that her
remarks were being broadcast
and that she was not always
aware Of Just what station was
taking her message to tho
country.

R|CHBERG
NRA Head Warns Business to
Give Employment; Says
Federal Relief Necessary

CLEVELAND, Dec. % Q.N.S).
Business was warned by Donald
R. Richberg today that it might
be cheaper to find work for the
unemployed than to support the
armies necessary to hold them
back if once those millions Of
pleading fingers were turned into
threatening claws" Mr.. Richberg
was here to attend the opening
Of the civic exposition. He said:
1--WE may have some reason
able fears of a foreign foe, but
the greatest danger that threat
ems America are those Of inter.
nal diSsensiOn."
Answering one of the recon-
mendations of the White Sulphur
Springs (W. Va conference Of
business leaders for drastic cur
tailment of Federal expenditures
and a balanced budget, the direc-
tor of the National Emergency
Councils said:
"The man who talks about re-
ferring the problem Of several
million capable, earnest idle
workers back to Overburdened
States and cities for local .sOIu.
tions, simply doesa not, know
what the problem is.
MUST MAKE WORK
Regardless Of theory the
choice is before us here and now.
We must bring about the reem-
plOyment of four or five million
workers in the near future,
either through a great expan.
sion Of private enterprise. or
through further government &C.
tivities."
He praised the Administrations
program for a political economic
system and asked private interests
to build a new industrial structure
on these foundations. He said the
recovery program is working; in
dustrtal employment has jumped
between four and five million;
agriculture has been improved, de-
mands for financing have been
met; banks and similar inStitu-
tions are generally sound, credit
is ample land conditions are ripe
for a general advance of private
enterprise" He declared:
There is no other nation
which has paralleled us in the
cause or time or progress of
the depression, and COM
parsons of rates of recovery
are either too complicated for
easy understanding or if sim
plified become meaningless"
He said the Federal relief load

 Deputy Collectors James Mon- aghan and Charles Byrne were struggling to-day to keep up with the flood of last minute returns that were swamping the entire clerical force. Needing the bureau warning that to-day would see a real rush, the late taxpayers be- gan Hooking to the office this morning at an early hour.
 Crowds continued to appear all morning and early this afternoon there was scarcely a breathing spell for the harassed workers. The deputy collectors planned to re- main at the office all through the supper hour in order to help the public have it's returns completed by the legal time limit.
 Tax must be paid by all single persons with an income of $1,000 or more for the year. Married men are allowed an exemption of S2,5O0 and a further exemption for each child in the family.
 The two new collectors, who have been in office but a short time, will be able to breathe a bit easier when the income tax rush Is completed. They began their terms just as the 1888 returns be- gan to trickle in and had their baptism of fire during the most trying part of the internal revenue wear.

Figures Invaluable

State Bureau Director Explains Use of Bookkeeping
 in Constant War on Disease

State health vital statistics are invaluable in controlling the spread of disease, for with proper knowl- edge of each disease, the persons exposed, the location of cases and ether equally important data. a threatened epidemic may be speed fly brought under control, it was pointed out by William c. Yelling, director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the state department Of health, in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 So important is state health bookkeeping" MT Yelling said, that, if 8 person infected with or even exposed to any disease which endangers public health goes to an- other state, that state is imme- diately notified of the potential danger.
 He explained that health "book- keeping" was not due on a basis of percentage as in the case of bus- mess, but with larger units than 100; namely, groups of 1000 peo- pie and groups of 100000 people. Birth, marriage, death and infant mortality rates are figured as so many per 1000 people or in the case of the last named. Fer 1000 living births. The death or in- cidence rates for various diseases, tho rates for accidental deaths and suicides and the like are kept on a basis of so many per 100000, be- cause the decimal fractions ob- tained enable more convenient comparisons.
 These rates give health authori- ties many definite facts concerning disease, for many diseases have a distinct periodicity, that is. they are apt to run in cycles. In the case of infantile paralysis, for in- stance, if the disease is prevalent one year. 1t is fairly certain that there will be no widespread out
