that it must inspire shattered

FRA TO MOVE
MILLION FOLK
BACK TOFARM
Hopkins Particularly An
xious To Relieve Coal
Miners

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. (UP)
Plans to move 100000 Anne
ricans from congested industrial
centers and other areas where
self-support is difficult to small
communities where they will have
a chance to become self-suppOrt-
ing were announced Monday by
Relief Administrator Hopkins.
The project, he said, viii in
volve cooperation of the Federal
Relief Administration, the sub
sistence homestead corporation
and the surplus relief corpora
ton. The last organization has
been allotted $25,000,000 to pur-
chase sub-marginal land and take
it out of production.
Although Hopkins conceded the
plan still was in preliminary
stages, he said Lawrence West
brook had resigned as CWA adj
ministrator for Texas to take
charge of the new project.
Hopkins said he was particul-
arly anxious to bring some form
of relief to coal miners. He es-
Inmates 100000 of them are
stranded in shacks around mines
where there is insufficient work
to make them self-supporting.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is in
terested in q subsistence plan for
West Virvinia miners on a small
scale.
The procedure, Hopkins said,
would be for the federal govern
ment to purchase large tracts Of
land and build new communities.
To each of these communities
would be sent iobless miners or
other workers from overcrowded
industries.
He said the first, communities
probably would be established IN
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ken
lucky and Ohio-ail coal produc-
ing states.
Hopkins said the project was
in no sense to be considered a
long-term relief, or dole, policy,
because every person who en-
tered one of the communities
would receive an opportunity to
become self supporting.
Once housing facilities were
arranged, serious consideration
would be given to the establish
ment of small industries, Hopkins
said. He added that the federal
government probably would pro-
vide free transportation to the
sites for persons in dire need,
and might even underwrite their
expenses for limited time.

BELOW zero IS
REPORT HERE
Too Cold For Needy To
Apply For Aid; Their
Wants Canvassed

Temperatures as low as two de-
grees below zero were reported
unofficially this morning as Hen
Jacksonville entered the second
day of the coolest period of the
winter.
Following a drop of 81 degrees
between Sunday afternoon and
Monday morning. when the mer-
curry registered six degrees above
zero, the further decline last
night did not strike as much con-
sternation to the hearts of local
folk.
Caugh unaware Sunday night.
scores of motorists reported fro
zen automobile radiators. and
while many of these had not
thawed this morning there were
comparatively few add i t o n |
casualties" Garage proprietors
and gasoline station operators
said this was because of sell-out
in anti-freeze solutions and alco-
hol. Radiators Of almost every
car in operation were replenished
with anti-freeze yesterday, they
said. :.
Noah Hollowell, federal relief
administrator, said today that the
cold wave had decreased rather
than increased the number of calls
for food fuel and other necessi-
ties. -,
apparently it was just too cold
for persons in need to come to
the CWA and relief office to get
food and other supplies" he said.
He added that whereas about 200
reouisitions for supplies were
filled Saturday. a mild day, only
about 100 requests were received
yesterday.
Anticipating that some families
o. the county and federal relief
lists might be without fuel and
unable to get it. George Justice,
county commissioner. and Mrs.
Geddings, representing the CWA
office, spent TODAY visiting fami-
lies who previously were known
to be in poor circumstances. Their
absolute needs will be supplied. It
was said.
Work on CWA projects in the
county had practically been sus.
pended today because of the cold
weather, Mr.. Hollowell said.
Eugene Brady, manager of the
federal unemployment office. said
that about dozen plumbers were
registered there and that their
services were available to house
holds in which water pipes were
frozen Sunday and Monday
nights.

The dairy and beef cattle in

out that the dairy industry must
be handled on different basis
from wheat and cotton because
milk production must be reduced
only temporarily whereas most
other farm products require per-

WASHINGTON. Jan. 80. (UP)
The administration has decided to
close the American money market
to nations defaultirg their debts
to this government. but will de-
mand that congress keep Glands
of" of countries failing to meet
private obligations to investors in
the United States. it became
known last night.
This phase of the administra-
TONS policy toward debt default
ing nations was disclosed in
amendments to the bill by Senator
Johnson, Repn., Calf, which We're
prepared by the state department
and which Majority Leader Rob
inson will introduce some time
this week.
Johnson's bill, as passed by the
senate, would prevent any nation
defaulting its private or govern
mental debts from obtaining any
further credit in the United
States. The measure was approved
when only few members were
in the chamber and Robinson
later gave notice he would move
for reconsideration.
In commenting on the bill and
the proposed amendments yester-
day. Robinson said:
Nations that can't or won't
pay are not entitled to further
credit"
1t was the first intimation that
the administration is prepared to
impose direct penalties upon
debtor nations.
The Johnson bill riased complex
problems. Asked if a clause would
be inserted in the measure clarl-
flying the definition of a debt de-
faulting nation, Robinson said this
was unnecessary as the measure
specified nations in default Sin
whole or in part" as susceptible to
penalties.
In this group. presumably. are
Great Britain and Italy. which
have made "token" payments on
their war debts. as well as France
and other nations which have de-
faulted outright.
Senator Johnson, author of the
bill, is not in complete accord
with the proposed amendments, it
was learned last night. He does
not feel that nations which float
ed huge bond issues to private in
vestors in the United States dur
ing the boom years and then de-
faulted on these securities, should
