 The greater measure of Federal control projected under the new plan the same source said, had given the impression in some quarters that the Federal Government would grant subsidies to those states which enacted unemployment in surance bills that conformed to the standards set up by national law, indicating that the cost of admin istering the plan probably would be borne by Federal Government.
 As a matter of fact, the plan is to have the employer bear the expense. advanced on the ground that he would pass it along to the consumer in the form of slightly increased prices.
 In that way, the workers also actually pay part of the expense. It was explained that if the work CTS were assessed a part of the cost, they being a large part of the con- suming public, they would be re- quired to make. a double contribu- tiOn to the fund.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IT, The Unemployment Insurance Plan. un- der which the employer bears the full expense by means of a pay roll tax, has gained approval here.
 President Roosevelt's Economic Security Advisory Board was said, by man thoroughly familiar with the work in the Council, but who declined to be quoted, to have ap- proved it by a close vote. The plan would follow the general lines of last years Wagner-Lewis Unem- ployment Insurance Bill.
 Under the proposal of the Coun- cil, the Federal Government would exercise a wider control over the administration of insurance funds than would have been possible un- der the Wagner-Lewis bill.
 This measure, which failed of en- actment in the last session of Con- gross, after sturdy opposition by employer interests, would have lev jed a Federal payroll tax, but would have deducted from this levy any contributions to state industrial in-

 sequent Doubt

WASHINGTON. Dec. I7.-A gi- gantic plan for development of Americas natural resources has been proposed to President Roose- welt as means of distributing "hu- man welfare" throughout the land. The plan has stirred mixture of praise and doubt on Capitol Hill While some described the report of the Presidents National Re- sources Board as very progressive and excellent, others expressed doubt about the wisdom of a per manent Public Works Adminis- tration which the Board suggested.

 SIX year Public Works Budget with ten billion dollar reserve fund. To retire seventy-five million acres of submarginal lands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. MA new move has been started to get the next Congress to authorize con- struction of a seven hundred and twenty-two million dollar canal across Nicaragua for commercial and National Defense advantages to the United States.
