STATE ACTION SEEN
ON JOB INSURANCE
Miss Perkins Expects Committee
Report to Follow Views
of Roosevelt.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December Estate
determination of the type Of unem-
ployment insurance to follow Fed
eral unemployment insurance law was
predicted yesterday by Secretary
Perkins.
The Labor Department Secretary
told the New York Board Of Trade
that the administrator Committee
on Economic Security undoubtedly
would follow the view of President
Roosevelt that there Is room for
some degree of difference in methods,
though not in principles" Of unem-
ployment insurance. Legislative rec
concentrations soon will be submitted
to the White House by the committee
Miss Perkins explained that one
type of unemployment compensation
laws called for pooled unemployment
insurance funds, while another pro-
vided for separate industrial plant
funds.
The former type, she said. involves
central pooled fund for the entire
State, to which all employers would
contribute, and from which unem-
ployed workmen would draw benefits
regardless of the plant or industry in
which they worked.

SYMPATHY URGED
IN PUBLIC WELFARE.
Dr.. H. ]. Crosson Says In
stitutions Thrive Only on
Understanding.

The troubles Of the Districts public
welfare institutions are in large part
due to lack of understanding and SYM
pathetic legislators, according to DR..
H. ]. Crosson, veteran member Of the
Board Of Public Welfare.
At the first quarterly conference OF
the board, held Tuesday at Gallinger
Hospital, he declared that behind the
better work done in New York and
Massachusetts,, lay the sympathy and
help of Cows. Smith, Roosevelt and
Lehman Of New York and Ely Of
Massachusetts,. He then cited the in
tricate steps through which request
for an appropriation must go from
the time it is made by department
head until it is translated into an ap-
preparation by Congress.
Reforms that he advocated included
a separate obstetrical building for
Gallinger and a better water supply
for the children's tuberculosis sana-
torium. The water now available, he
said, is "dsgraceful.
Much of the Districts welfare
money, he said, now goes to the aid
of people from other States who have
no just claim on 1t. He lauded the
action Of the Community Chest in set
ting aside $4,000 for central regis
tration bureau designed to keep
"chiselers" out Of the public welfare
institutions.
Others who spoke were Miss Dor
othy Williamson, case worker with
the Division of Child Welfare; Elwood
Street, director of public welfare;
Miss Frances Sheehan, case worker
on the staff of the Emergency Relief
Division; Miss Agnes Hanna, director
of the Department of Social Service,

knows better than the Babe that his
playing days are mostly behind him.
The idea that he must soon leave the
active playing list no longer worries
him.
TNAR from being alarmed over the
prospect OF further downward
trimming of his salary. which slid
from $4,000 to $4,000 last year, he
anticipates another reduction, SO long

$4,000 be acceptable? He'd rather
not say until he has heard from Jake"
Col. Rupert. the owner of the
Yankees
Behind all this outward nonchalance
about the future, if indications cab be
accepted for what they appear worth,
lies the idea that Babe Ruth will man
age the Yankees.
He explains quite forcefully why he
turned down proposition by the colo
mel to manage the Newark Bears this
year, demanding to know how he could
learn anything more about base ball
by going back to the minor leagues
after 20 years in the big show. AS to
fulfilling a managerial ambition other
W1Sc, lie OHly says
Il don't know about that. There's a
lot of inside stuff that I can't talk
about. I'll have to wait and see what

IT'S easy to build a supposition on
this evidence that Ruth has been
conditionally promised the man
agement Of the Yankees in a year or
two, at the most: that, in fact the offer
of the Newark Job was made on the
basis of fitting himself for the head
quarters assignment up in the Bronx
ball yard. Whether his rejection of
this offer affects his future chances of
succeeding Joe Mccarthy as Yankee
manager only the Babe and the colonel
can say.
McCarthy's present contract has two
more years to run. so that unless he
resigned or consented to being bought
off the Babe could not realize his aim
to pilot the club until 1886
Meanwhile Ruth is not only indie
