A RAY Of hope for unpaid school
\ teachers appeared when house
subcommittee was ordered to draft
legislation authorizing direct federal
grants to needy school systems through
out the country. The primary pur-
pose of the proposed grants would be
to insure the operation of schools for
minimum term each year.
A serious curtailment of educational
facilities in many sections of the coun-
try has been forced by lack of funds,
according to the committee, with con-
sequent result that thousands of chill
dren are not receiving the proper
amount Of instruction. An inability to
pay teachers is the most pressing
problem.
A large part of the proposed federal
grants will be available for the pay.
ment of salaries to unpaid teachers
and for the unemployment of many
who have been discharged because of
lack of funds.
Under the direct grant measure pro-
posed by the education committee 1t
was understood the necessary funds
would be supplied either by the fed
eral Emergency Relief administration
or the Public Works administration.

THE advisers comprising the ad-

that the Presidents policies are being
ignored by advisers who are plotting
to make him only the "Kerensky" of
the american revolution" to be put
aside for an eventual "Stalin," aroused
immediate reaction In several quar-
tiers.
Representative Bulwinkle of North
Carolina introduced a resolution in the
house calling for an inquiry into the
purpose of the group, whose members,
according to DR.. William Writ, super
intendent of schools Of Gary, Ind, told
him they aimed at the overthrow of the
existing social order. The resolution
asks that Doctor Writ be called before

legged, Of a plan to hoodwink the Pres
ident and ultimately establish a Com
munistic form of government.

D ETENTION of the restrictions i'm
posed on immigration by the pres
ent laws was recommended by COM
mittee of 4S men and women appointed
several months ago by Secretary Per-
kins to study the problem. --
Only minor relaxations were sug-
gested. The committee urged proper
provision for reuniting families separ-
ated by immigration and providing
asylum for refugees from political, ra-
cial, and political persecution within
the immigration quotas.
Relentless war on aliens who COM
NIT crimes and on the racketeer and

The committee proposed, however.
that provision be made so illegal en-
trants who have proved themselves de-
sirable citizens could legalize their res
idence. 1t opposed deportation of
aliens brought to this country as chill
dren but who have never qualified for
citizenship.

OF works council in industry in which

may be their choice or organization of
form Of representation, may partici-
pate in joint conference with their en-
ployers."
He hailed this as basis for a more
comprehensive, adequate and eQui-
table system Of relations than ever
has existed In a large industry.
The agreement avoids the licensing
of the automobile industry, which labor
threatened to invoke if there was no
agreement. The American Federation
of Labor is not recognized as such by
industry except when its affiliates have
the necessary votes on the collective
bargaining committee.
One Of the provisions of the agree
ment was that the NRA should set
up a board, responsible to the Presi-
dent to sit in Detroit and pass upon
all questions of representation, dis
charge, and discrimination. Decision
of the board is to be final upon all con-
cerned. Three men will serve on the
board, one representing labor, one in
dustry, the third being neutral.
Perhaps the greatest concession
made by labor was it's agreement to
board Of three, on which industry is
represented. This surrender, how
ever, is safeguarded by the fact that
the list is for the board only, to en-
able it to check against other lists, and
that no public disclosure is to be made
of it except by direction Of the Presi-
dent himself In particular cases.
The agreement is generally regarded
as a compromise. All participants
Joined in saying that it does not rep
resent a victory for either side.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Monday
called on congress to pass legis-
lation with teeth in it" for the con-
troll of the nations stock and COM
modify exchanges.
He asked that the law be so severe
shat speculation, even as 1t exists to-
day, win of necessity be drastically
curtailed." His demand was made in
a letter to Senator Duncan U. Fletcher
Oem., Fla.) and Representative Sam
Rayburn Dem., Texas), chairmen of
the congressional committees which
are handling the pending stock ex-
change bills.
Charging the exchanges with organ
izing one of the most determined lob
bies which has fought any Of his legis-
lation, the President said that the
country would not be. satisfied unless
the exchange control message is dras-
tic. People generally, the President
said, blame the speculation on ex
changes for the 1929 artificial boom
and the resulting slump.
The President threw his full weight
behind the controversial margin restric-
ton sections of the bill. Outlining the
type of law he wants, he said.
1.-The two principal detectives are,
as l see It, first, the requirement of
what is known as margin so high that
speculation, even as it exists today,
will Of necessity be drastically cur
tailed, and, second, that the govern
ment be given such definite powers Of
supervision over exchanges that the
government itself will be able to cor
rect abuses which may arise In the
future"

A USTRIA'S new cooperative consti.
- tuition, as published in the official
government gazette, gives the Presi-
dent powers similar to those possessed
by the late Emperor Franz Josef when
he assembled the throne after crushing
a republican revolution In 1s4s. The
president will rule through the con-
stitution, but may change it whenever
he thinks an emergency demands. The
constitution will be based on the prin-
ciple that all power emanates from God
in contrast to the present one, which
says all power emanates from the
people.
But the people, nevertheless, will be
given an opportunity to express their
opinion at the polls whenever the gov
eminent thinks this advisable. Popu-
lar initiative, however, is barred and
the people will not have constitu-
tional rights to elect their own govern
ment. All legislation must be initiated
by the government, which will be ad-
vised but not controlled by four con-
sultative bodies.
These will be the state council Of 40
to 80 members appointed by the presi-
dent; the federal cultural council, con-
sisting Of representatives Of churches,
religious societies and schools; the
federal economic council, chosen from
business. industrial. agricultural and
financial circles, and the provincial
council, consisting of governors and
finance ministers of the various prov
inees.

GERTRUDE STEIN SPEAKS BEFORE
 BIG AUDIENCE
American Author Is Most Talked About But Least
 Read of Writers

New York, Nov. 2.-(UP).- Gertrude Stein, ''most talked about but least read" of American au- thors, made her initial lecture to her countrymen last night, mysti- flying an audience that thought it just grand anyway.
 Miss Stein read her lecture in a monotonous voice at the Colony club to the members of the mu- scum of modern art.
 She had announced beforehand that she wanted to address no more than 500 persons. By some means, 1000 persons got into the lecture hall when Miss Stein accompanied by her always-faithful secretary, Alice B. Toklas, marched up the dais.
 The audience obviously expected something sensational. Most of the auditors had re-read some of Miss Stein's more serious work, Gnclud- ing that piece about the COW in which the subject noun is repeat ed no fewer than 56 times in eight lines). The main burden of her hours talk was that an oil paint ing under all circumstances and at all times must be an oil paint ing
 She intoned these lines:
 "It was an oil painting, con- tinuous oil painting, one was sur- rounded by an oil painting, and I who lived continuously out of doors and felt air and sunshine and things to see felt that this was all different and very exciting. There 1t all was the things to see but there was no air, 1t was just an oil painting. I remember stand ing. on the little platform in the center and almost consciously knowing that there was no air. there was no feeling of air, it was just an oil painting, and it had a life of it's own and it was a scene as an oil painting sees it and it was real thing that looked like something I had seen, but it had nothing to do with that something that I know because the feeling was not at all that, not at all the feeling which I had when I saw anything that was really what the oil painting showed. It, the oil painting, showed it as an oil paint ing. That is what an oil painting is."
 The tenseness of the audience held throughout this recitation. Miss Stein was describing her re- action upon viewing the panaramic painting, "The Battle of Waterloo" :" | Miss Stein bobbed her close cropped head and her weather scanned face broke into smiles in acknowledging the applause. She answered a few questions concern. ing her works. answers that did not remove the expressions of won derment and bewilderment from the questioners" faces.
 Miss Stein. an expatriate in Paris for 30 years, is back home for a lecture tour. She has estab- lished a literary reputation that has made her all but legendary character. As one critic remarked, Most people prefer to talk about, rather than to read, Miss Stein"

CORN BORERS ARE FARMERS ENEMIES
InfestatiOns on s f a { e Tracts Last Season
 Cost $l6,883.39

Losses amounting to $16,SS3.39 as result of European corn borer infestations on 169 farms in Con- necticut last season have just been reported by J. Peter Johnson of the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station at New Haven.
 MT Johnson said that three men visited 169 farms in the state dur ing August. Data on acreage of corn planted, crops harvested and the numbers of ears that had to be discarded because of borers, were collected from owners. Mar ket and road stand prices were available so that the estimate giv- en is approximately correct. MT Johnson said that the $16,S83 by no means represents the total loss suffered by farmers of the state. Individual losses ranged from six dollars to several hundred dollars per acre, he stated.
 It Is hoped that the fall clean up now under way, that urges all farmers to cut their corn flush with the ground, dispose of stalk properly or plough the stubble un- der clean before December 1, will do much to check corn borer in- festations next season.
 Beside corn, entomologists at the Experiment Station report that the borers are now attacking dahIias, hollyhocks. beets and especially big weeds in and about corn fields. Even weed patches at some dis tance from the corn have been found heavily infested and from

Walcott Advocates
 Old Age Insurance
StagnatiOn Results From Business Men DOdging Long
 Term Contracts Says Senator in Speech

New Britain, Nov 2.-Because business men do not dare, under the policies of the present admin istration, make long-term con- tracts, stagnation and unemploy- ment have resulted, United States Senator Frederic c. Walcott, re- publican senatorial nominee, said here last night in an address at the Central Junior High school.
 "In a talk that I gave Wednes- day night" Senator Walcott said, T called the attention of my lis- teners to several campaign pledges that the democratic party made in 1892 and promptly forgot. I men- tioned their blanks in favor of re- ducing government expenditures, keeping the government out of business, and revising the anti trust laws for the better protec- tion of the small produer and dis tributor.
 ''The trail of this administration is so strewn with broken prom ises that could not hope to en- compass a discussion of all of them in the time allotted to me on any one night, but there are two more blanks in the demorat- ,ic platform of 1882, about which I should like to tell you. These, too, were forgotten after March 4th, 1888. One of them has been re- pudiated; the other has yet to be redeemed. If republican influence can make itself felt, both will be redeemed promptly.
 "The first of these is, We advo- cate a sound currency, to be pre- served at all hazards Within a year and a half after making this pledge, the present administration proceeded to devalue the currency nearly to the full extent of fits power to do so. Obscure theorists have been employed to think up new ways of toying with our me- dium of exchange. Threats of further develuation are in the offing.
 Meanwhile, business men do not dare make the long-term con- tracts which are the life blood of the durable goods industries. Stag nation and unemployment have re- suited. The republicans know enough history to realize that cur- rency imitation and the threat of currency imitation an lead only to disaster. We know that there will be no recovery until a sound cur- rency is preserved at all hazards.
 "'We advocate unemployment and old age insurance,' is one plank which the adminjstration has not yet repudiated but has merely pigeonholed. It has post poned the redemption of this

 "You are being given the ifn- precision athat you must first vote the democratic ticket in this cleo tion if you want social insurance plan. believe that you will get 1t regardless of how you vote. I think that this depression has demonstrated to all thinking peo- pie, irrespective of their political affiliations, the fact that the threat of Restitution from unem- ployment, incapacitation, and old age, is the most severe threat to our peoples happiness. The de- pression has shown that this threat is needless in the midst of plen- ty, that it can and must be ban- ish. Possibly the administration will do its best to see that this threat is banished, but I would feel more. confident of this if its record of redemption of it's other pledges were consistent!
