HERE MARCH |

Criticism of the District Com
missioners for their failure to
make appointments to the staff
of the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board grew more pronounced to-
day in many quarters as George
w. Offutt, chairman of the board,
officially announced that legal
liquor sales here will begin
March /.
The liquor board, it was pointed
out, has been working under a
heavy handicap, having only a
temporary staff of CWA workers
with which to handle the flood
of hundreds of applications which
poured in during the first few
days of the boards existence.
The permanent clerical staff of
the board was appointed several
days ago, but it took several
days to get it to functioning prop
erly, and in the meantime little
could be done to speed the issu-
ance of licenses.
Representatives of Citizens AS
sociations in eight sections of the
District-Takoma Park, Brook
land. Foxhall. Columbia Heights,
Rhode Island. Mount Pleasant and
Randle acknowledgements be-
fore the control board today to
file protests against the issuance
of licenses in those neighbor-
hoods.
First wholesalers and solicitors
licenses will be issued today, Mr..
Offutt said.

FRAUD COUNT

Indictment charging use Of the
mails to defraud was reported to-
day by the District Grand Jury
against Alfred M Layton, local
promoter, in connection with coTl-
plants of swindling a score Of
nationally prominent persons
through the purchase of a bust
of Gen. John j. Pershing.
The indictment alleged that Mr..
Layton collected more than $1O,-
900 in a mail campaign conducted
by the Pershing Bust Committee,
and converted some the funds to
his own use.
Representations were made that
the fund was to be used to pur-
chase the bust, executed by Moses

was to be given to the American
people through President Roose

doned, Harry l.. HoukinS, Federal
Relief Administrator, promised to-
day,
Faced by the prospect of dump
ing 100000 or more former CWA
workers on relief again after that
date. Mr.. Hopkins said:
you can be darn sure we're
going to take care of these peO-
pIe."
He revealed that some form Of
continued. relief would be utilized
as a bridge until the Presidents
long range ogram can be
launched.
Details Not Ready
Details of this plan are not
ready, but it is strongly limited by
the Presidents advisers that the
long-range plan will include:
1. Unemployment insurance
for unemployed among the ma
tiOn'S emplOyable workers.
2. Old.age pensions in some
form for the infirm and aged
dependents.
Asked who would pay for this,
Mr. Hopkins said:
II believe in the boys paying
whO've got the money to pay"
Specifically he indicated that
industry would be levied against
in some manner to finance the
plan.
Plans Being Prepared
Until this long-range provision
is in effect, the disbanded CWA
workers will be cared for in some
temporary manner not yet di"
vulged, but which it is known the
Government is prepared to an"
nounce she tly.
Mr.. Hor ms, as we'll as others
of the Presidents welfare group,
believe the public works program
will be sufficiently in action by
spring to take up much Of the
slack. How much they declined
to say.

Local Civil Works Chief in
Plea to Hopkins; Material
Needed for 2 Projects

Federal Civil Works author
tiles were requested today to fur
nish money for materials to COM
plete two projects taken over by
the local CWA from the Ma
tional Capital Parks.
The request, contained in a
letter from Capt. Howard F.
Clark, chairman of the work
planning committee of the local
CWA, to Jacob Baker, assistant
to Federal Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins, asks for money to
buy materials to finish the swim
ming pools at Banneker and Ia
koma Recreation Centers.
Pools Half Finished
Captain Clark explained that
Mr.. Hopkins order of yesterday
limiting further expenditures by
the local CWA for materials tc
$25O,OO0, would make continu-
ance of these projects impossible
The pools are about half fin
iShed.
The local CWA was granted
authority today to transfer ap-
proximately 700 workers on Cen
sus Bureau and other projects
to the Federal CWA.
500 To Be Dismissed
Since 1,2OO jobs must be abol-
ished tomorrow to bring the Dis.
trict jobs within the $4,000 quota,
it is expected that transfer OF
these 700 will leave only about
500 to be dismissed tomorrow.
Previously it had been feared
that $500 or more would have
to be drODDed.

PROGRAM
JobIess Will Continue to Get
Federal Aid; Insurance
System Hinted

A march on Washington by dis
missed CWA workers was forecast
today by Representative Connery
ID. of Massachusetts,, chairman Of
the House Labor Committee.
After evading an outright
opinion on the 30-hour-Week bill.
Harry l.. Hopkins, CWA and Fed
eral Relief Administrator, ques-
toned by Representative Connery,
admitted immediate passage OF
the bill would be preferable to a
march on the Capital after May l.
when the CWA will be demobilized.
Sees More Jobs
Mr.. Hopkins said the CWA
workers would be taken care OF,
"but precisely how we don't know
at the moment" He said he eX-
pected the increase of employ
ment on public buildings, the con.
tinued pickup of business, and
farm employment will have alb
sorbed a great percentage OF the
unemployed by midsummer.
When Rep. Connery announced
he had received confidential in
formation that such a trek was
being planned, Mr.. Hopkins re-
marked:
'T'm not jittery."
Representative Connery re-
torted:
Neither am I. Do you think
it would be fair for Congress
not to pass the 3O-hOur week
and put six million more men
to work?
"They took money from their
CCC camp from funds allotted
for construction of public build
ings-tO be paid workers, many
of them with families, the pre-.
vailing wage rate-and paid the
CCC men 81 day."
Taken Off Relief
Mr.. Hopkins replied:
"The CCC men were recruited
from families on relief roles and
they sent money home"
This caused Representative Con-
merry to remark:
They couldn't send much on
81 a day. I'm not afraid Of
marcherS, but if they'd pass the
Lundeen bonus, they would put
1000 million dollars in hands Of
the needy"
Mr.. Hopkins personal judg.
ment" on the 3O-hour week bill
was:
ut would be wise to reduce
hours, put more people to work
and increase wages"
He claimed he had not studied
the measure, and added:
"This bill is not the complete
answer to our unemployment
problem, but don't think I am
opposed to it. don't know
whether it would be best to have
the NRA code do it or pass .
law"
He endorsed the bill proposing
unemployment insurance.

1 Writes Textbook
on Economics
By GILBERT SELDES

The best selling books are the
books no one reads. They are
the textbooks used in schools,
and the great publishing houses
which flare out with a novel
selling 10000 copies probably
make most of their net income
from the steady sale Of Latin
grammars and the first courses
in algebra.
In the past few years canny
book houses have tried to make
the adult reading public take to
concealed textbooks such as the
histories of mankind, geogra-
phies, stories of PHILOSOPHERS, OF
art, etc.
H. G. Wells, who really began
this with his excellent Outline
of History" (still the best of the
batch), tried to make economics
clear in his work, Wealth and
Happiness of Mankind" in two
volumes, which neither radicals
nor Republicans particularly
liked.
Now Rexford Guy Tugwell,
the conspicuous target in most
of the shooting around Wash
ington, appears as co-author
with Howard C. HilD of a new
kind of textbook, called "Our
Economic Society" (Harcourt
Brace) :,
It is built like a high school
history, with black letter
heading for every two or three
paragraphs, with questions at
the end of each chapter, with
charts and maps. But it also
has cartoons, and copies OF ad-
vertisements, and photographs
of Jones' Beach, the great Rus
sian dam and men in bread.

How Do You Live?
I fancy this book gives a
clearer insight into the hopes
and plans of the New Dealers
than any platform of public ad-
dress because it goes back to the
old fundamental problems. You
will not find the eternal eco
nomic laws" of the old text,
books; even that ancient friend
"the law of supply and demand
hardly gets mention and there
are no abstract ideas.
The book is interested in the
levels of living-the comforts
and the pleasures which people
have enjoyed and can enjoy. IL
considers all the plans proposed
for improving the level Of life IN
America; it favors an expert
mental attitude, and I think the
first experiment it really ap-
proves of is economic planning
