attributable to the medical profess
sion.
Approval of the report was dis
closed by DR.. Bernard Sachs, presi-
dent Of the academy, at its annual
meeting last night. He charged it
was the duty of the profession ito
remedy, if possible, any evils for
which the medical and obstetrical

CWA PROVIDES
1850 INDIANA
WOMEN JOBS
State Director Reports on
Bureau Work Since
November.

Work for approximately 4,50C
women is being provided through
the women'S work division of the
state civil works administration, il
was reported today by Miss Florence
Kirlin, director.
Since the division began operation
last November, ABB projects under

ton have been approved, expected

sets out.
In addition, 1000 women have
been employed directly in civil
works administration work.
Service projects range from clean
ing and scrubbing jobs to county
health nursing and nursing duty in
public hospitals.
Projects approved for Marion
county will put 400 women to work,
Miss Kirlin said. Among them are
fifty-nine nurses, flfty-seven women
for Red Cross sewing, forty-six Ii
brary workers, ten recreational or
ganizers and seventy nurses and
canvasSerS working with the city
health department in inmunization
campaigns and home instruction.
> Rules for selection of employees
for civil works service projects differ
from those on CWA projects main
ly in that the need of the appli-
cant for relief is more of a govern
ing factor, as we'll as the qualif1ca-
ton Of the applicant for the job"
Miss Kirlin explained.
Applicants must be registered at
the employment service Office in the
county. They then are assigned to
the supervisor of the project who
may accept or reject the person SO
assigned"

PUBLIC WORKS
AS PERMANENT
PLAN FORECAST
President Seeks Insurance
Against Unemployment
in Future.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-A per-
manent plan of public works to take
up future unemployment slack was
projected today by President Roose-
welt as another phase of the wide
ly radiating national plan which
reveals itself as the new deal devel-
ops.
AS tentatively drafted, the new
Roosevelt public works plan would
extend over twenty-five to fifty
years, with provision for regular
annual appropriations by congress
from current revenues, as soon as
the country returns to normal.
The theory is that this fund would
be built up as a sort Of insurance
fund against unemployment. When
a period of business recession oc-
CURED this reservoir could be
tapped Immediately and the gov
eminent could embark upon a Sc
rieS of work. producing projects such
those of the civil works admins
tration and civilian conservation
corps.
Natural Developments Planned
In outlining the plan at the
White House, the President made 1t
clear that by public works" he in
cludes such projects as the latter
two, as we'll as reforestation Of
marginal lands no longer fit for
cultivation, prevention of erosion,
flood control and forest conserva-
ton.
The public works plan also dove
tails into the proposed development
Of the nations watersheds along
lines laid down in the Tennessee
basin. This vast piece Of public i'm
provement is a task that will take
years to complete.
The President revealed his public
works plan in response to an in
quiry as to whether new money
for public works for the next fiscal
year would be limited to the
$500, 900, 900 in his budget He did
not disclose whether additional
amounts might be required later.
Groups in congress think the public
works program should be consid-
erably enlarged at once.
Fund Long Advocated
Ever since the 1922 depression
various groups have been advOcat-
ing public works reserve fund. But
the 1929 depression caught the
country unprepared and it is not
until now, when a test has been
made of the efficacy of such protests
that public opinion has been reused
to point where a beginning may
be made.
Discussion of this plan is expect
ed to revive interest at the coming
session of congress in unemploy-
ment insurance and old-age pen
sions, another suggested remedy to
provide for the lean years which
seem inevitable.
h Senator Robert F. Wagner Dem,
N. W is sponsoring an unemploy-
ment insurance bill and is consid-
ering an amendment to the national
industrial recovery act requiring
| that industry set aside reserve funds
for this purpose.

Sum to Be Used to Bolster
Mortgage Refinancing
Programs.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - A S4,-
000, 900, 900 increase in the national
debt liability is contemplated by the
administration today to bolster the
mortgage reflnancing programs of
the Home Owners Loan Corporation
and the farm credit administration
The former is in rather serious
difficulties. It's bonds have sagged.
A federal guarantee is expected to
be proposed for the farm credit ad-
ministration and perhaps for both
next week. High councils of the adj
ministration are convinced a guar
antee would lift the bonds from the
80's to par or near it.
There, if the truth be known, is
the hottest and most authentic
market tipf out of Washington in
many day.
Debt Liability Potential
Each of these credit organizaT ons
has a potential $4,000, 100000 bond
issuing authority The overall esti-
mate of a 100000, 900 increase in
the national debt liability may be
out of line a matter of 100000 0C
or so. But it is substantially cor
rect.
The increase in the debt liability
of the nation is potential rather
than absolute owing to the fact that
it must be assumed that the re-
financed mortgages ultimately will
be discharged and the bonds there
by retired without call on the
treasury. But if any deficiency ex-
listed, it is the judgment of the adj
miniStration that the government
would have a moral obligation tc
make good even if a legal guarantee
were not provided.
In creating the two organizations,
congress pledged the government to
guarantee the interest but not the
principal of these bonds. The bonds
were to be given to note holders in

condition as far as this question is
concerned, Mr.. Mack said, explaining
that most Of the main highways are
parallel to the principal railroad lines
passing through Delaware. However,
he said, it is recognized there is a
need for eliminating the crossings
that remain and the Highway Depart
ment no doubt would be in full ac-
cord with such a program, which
would give the State clean bill of
health in the matter.
Mr.. Smith said the Councils sur
vey showed some 400 grade crossings
of all classes in the entire state.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Mack that
the program would have to be fl
nanced entirely by the Federal gov
eminent. The State, he said, is in no
position to lay out large sums for such
work just at present.
