communities reveal a remarkable
grasp Of the situation" Mr.. Hopkins
declared. Il have read them every
day"
His own reports. he said, showed
similarly that the relief load is
rising, but he said the gain sis not
as great as / expected.
Experience, he said, points to
general increases in the relief load
at this time of year"
Regarding the inadequacy Of re-
lief, emphasized in many of the
Scripps- Howard reports, he said:
you can not expect family that
is getting barely enough to feed,
clothe and shelter itself to accept
relief as adequate. 1t represents
about half of the normal family
budget
The Scripps-Howard newspapers
found that administration of relief
varies enormously in its efficiency
and effectiveness. Cost of admins
tration in the "a areas surveyed
ranged from to % cents per relief
dollar.
Mr.. Hopkins said that such con-
illusions were in many cases based
on past months. The present adj
ministration in the majority of
states is efficient, he said.
1--WE are constantly reviewing our
administrative set-up and strength
ening it where it is weak" he said.
Where administration costs are toe
high, we are bringing them down.

These costs are much lower than
year ago."
The survey showed little proved
political interference. Mr.. Hopkins
only comment was smile. He re-
Gently challenged his critics to pre-
sent evidence Of political manipula-
ton, but ne has received none to
date, he said.
Concerning the morale of persons
on relief, the administrator said:
Il am. constantly in touch with
this problem and it is reassuring to
know that the American people, now
down in their luck, have not given
up hope.
People don't like relief. That's
a good sign.
There are persons who are salts
fed to go along on relief, but they
represent a mighty small minority.
Most of these citizens want their
independence back and that's what
we must give them.
1.-THE way to restore a man,
morally and physically, is to give
him a job doing something useful.
A regular pay day every week is
what he wants.
Asked how such jobs were to be
supplied, Mr. Hopkins said several
plans are being studied by President
Roosevelt.
II can't reveal the scope of these
plans now, but the Administration
has not backed down at any time

The sensational young English
"find," Robert Donat, brought to
America to play the title role
more than justifies the faith
shown in him by Reliance PIC
lures, who selected him after
practically every male star in
Hollywood had been considered.
Young, extremely handsome,
charming, and a splendid actor,
Donat has everything necessary
to make him and keep him the
new favorite among male film
stars.
The thrilling story of Edmond
Dantes, the young Frenchman,
torn from his sweetheart's arms
by his enemies and unjustly i'm
prisoned and left to rot in the
grim Chateau DIFF, is made to
order for Donat, and ELISA Landi
is ideally cast as the girl, Mer-
,eedes. How, when Dantes has
lost hope of ever seeing daylight
again, the sage, old Able Faria
who occupies the next cell, tells
him of a secret treasure buried
on the island of Monte Cristo,
and educates him so that when
he finally escapes he may face
the world a superman; how Dan
ties escapes, following the good
Abbe's death, locates the. treas
ure, and returns, a fabulously
wealthy man. to visit slow and
sweet revenge on each of the
three enemies responsible for his
misery, is perhaps too well-known
to require telling here.
Louis Calhem, Sidney Blackmer
and Raymond Walburn, are su-
perbly villanious as the black
hearted de Villefort, Mondego
and Danglars, respectively; Irene
Hervey. is charming as the sweet
heart of Mercedes young son,
and William Farnum makes a
promising comeback in the role
of Captain Leclere.

Gigantic Program Gets
Important Place in
New Legislation
BY RONALD C. VAN TINE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. (UP)
"A gigantic government-financed
low-cost housing program, design
ed to inject new blood into the
construction industry, was given
an important position yesterday
in legislation President Roosevelt
probably will send to congress for
speedy action in January.
Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes, attacking private interests
for delay in pouring capital into
building activities, announced that
housing and slum clearance would
constitute major part of a "very
large and comprehensive" public
works program for the next fiscal
year.
Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins and other administration
officials showed keen interest in
Ickes' suggestion that labor might
cooperate in the plan by agree
ing to work at lower wages under
a guarantee of year-round en-
ployment.
Labor would make more
money in the end" Ickes said,
'than under existing high hourly
rates for skilled workers. An
agreement with labor on wages,
plus an agreement with industries
supplying the materials would
make possible a huge building
program.
Miss Perkins said a guaranteed
annual wage would be interest
ing to any labor group" "The
problem of labor has always
BEEN" she said, ''to obtain suffl-
cient revenue in a short time TO
insure a good standard of living
for a year."
Ickes referred to ''poor devils
loaded down with mortgages,
and said the government could
build every attractive and ade-
ouate houses at low rates" which
might be paid for over a long
period. %

ion by Leon Archimbaud, war

This would line up Russia,
France and Britain once more
against Germany with Russia al
least offering to send troops to
the aid of France in the event
Germany and France again go TO
war.
So far, Britain has kept clear
of French efforts to get ner on
the dotted line of pact guaranl-
teeing French security through
military or naval aid. But British
statesmen in recent months have
been turning more and more to-
ward a semi-military alliance with
France.
Where Italy stands remains, as
usual. conjectural. Premier Be-
nito Mussolini, however, has given
strong indication of his disfavor
toward Germany under Adolf
Hitler and his Nazi regime, and
n Duce's efforts to wean Austria
away from her former central
European ally and into a firm
nact with Fascist Italy have done
nothing to make Der Fuehre

ton with income tax payments.
He estimated the annual de-
probation allowances claimed by
industry at 4,000,000,0O0. The
government received no taxes on
this amount and, Lewis complains,
the money is lying idle whereas
it might be spent in providing
jobs.
In addition, Lewis insists the
depreciation allowances are too
high. He points out that annual
allowances constitute a fund
which increases from year to year
not only by the amounts of the
allowances themselves but also
by the normal interest earnings
of the fund.
Under the present plan, he
says, many properties have been
completely amortized but still are
receiving a flat allowance for de-
probation. The treasury, Lewis
declared, owes substantial part
of it's "red" entries to its own
neglect in applying fundamental
principles in computing its depre-
citation allowances.
Lewis was cheered by reports
that a plan of tax exemption in
ducements to encourage corpora
ton spending has been submitted
to the treasury by New Dealers.
The plan proposed exemption
from the existing 1875 per cent
tax on corporate income some
proportion of each corporations
net returns. The sum exempted
from taxation would be spent i'm
mediately on plant modernization
or extension. ..
"This may not be the solution"
he said, "but it shows that at last
officials are giving thought to a
principle + have fought for for
