KIDNAPPING
IGNORED

HARTMAN, Tenn, June %
GN.S0.-The kidnapping Of Fred
Held, vice president of the Amer
lean Federation of Hosiery
Workers, by a band Of armed
men, who rode him out Of the
county with a warning not to
return, was being officially ig-
nored today by law enforcement
officers.
The union official, taken from
a train here yesterday afternoon
and released unframed in an adj
joining county a short while
later, named five of his alleged
abductors when he arrived last
night at Chattanooga.
The men, Mr.. Held said, were
among the 653 nonunion hosiery
workers who lost their jobs Mon.
day when the Hartman Hosiery
Mills, chief pay roll Of this COM
munity, shut down following the
loss of it's Blue Eagle in a con-
troversy with the NRA admins
tration.
No effort has been made to ar
rest the alleged abductors, Sheriff
Elmer Goodman said. He added:
'NO complaint has been made
to me about them. If Held iden-
titled the men he has the right
to swear out warrants for their
arrest. There's no action for
me to take otherwise"
Chief Of Police L. P. Mabry
said he was watching the Situa-
ton" but has made no arrests
and thought it was up to the
sheriff to take any steps in that
direction.

PWA Allotment Is Made For
S Sewage Disposal Plant;

Public works Administrator
Harold Ickes today granted the
District $4,000, 900 for construc-
ton Of q sewage disposal plant.
The grant was made only few
hours after President Roosevelt
had signed the bill passed by Con-
gress authorizing the District to
seek q PWA loan.
Secretary 1ckeS made no men,
ton Of q grant for construction Of
a new tuberculosis hospital, an ad-
dition to Gallinger Hospital and
erection Of q wall at Lorton Re-
formatory, other projects the Dis
trict Commissioners had hoped
would be included in the grant.
+ 30 Per Cent a Gift
Under the terms Of the allot-
ment, 80 per cent Of the money
will be an outright grant and 10
per cent must be repaid by the
District.
Construction of the plant will
be started as soon as plans are
approved by PWA engineers. It
is estimated that it will take four
years to complete and will fur
nish 5000, 900 man-hours of work,
employing approximately $40 men
on the project.
In authorizing the grant, Mr..
Ickes. called on Maryland and Vir-
ginia to do their part in purify
ing the river.
The Secretary Of Interior said:
"This project win 80 q long
way toward purifying the
Potomac which is being ruined
by pollution. Unsatisfactory
conditions on the river and on
Chesapeake Bay will not be
rectified, however, until Mary
land and Virginia take steps to
meet the District half way.
81 sincerely hope the Wash

interest themselves in this pro-
ject."
The District Commissioners re-
gard the sewage disposal plant as
the most important Of the pro
posed projects. Mr.. Ickes pointed

President Roosevelt today com
pleted the speech he will deliver
to the nation over the radio to
night, and directed his attention
to three important legislative
measures, the Frazier-Lemke farm
mortgage moratorium bill, the
giant housing bill and the railroad
pension bill. The housing bill re
ceived his signature early this aft
ernoon.
To Name Stocks Board
Following action upon these
measures the President will tackle
the job of selecting personnel
for two important commissions
authorized by Congress-one reg
ulating the stock exchange, the
other the communication facilities
Of the nation. vi.
It was generally, though Tlnof-
ficially agreed here today that
Ferdinand Pecora, Of New York,
the stock attorney who acted as
the Senate Banking Committee
counsel throughout the stock mar
ket inquiry, would head the mar
ket commission, a five-man group.
Another certain bet for member
ship on this committee was Chair"
an James M. Lands, Of the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Speculation was rife concern
ing membership Of the commune
cations commission. The name OF
Federal Radio Commissioner Eugene
o. Sykes was one held most likely
to be found on the new commits
sion roster. -----,-
The Presidents speech will be
delivered over coast-to-coast radio
hookups, at $3.50 p. m, Eastern
Standard Time, and will. last a
little longer than 20 minutes.
Worked Hard On Speech
Mr.. Roosevelt has devoted much
time to the speech, which sums
up the accomplishments Of the
New Deal during the past is
months.
The broad social planning work
announced as a permanent objec-
tive by the President several
weeks ago may be explained in
considerable detail in tonight's
speech.
The President held a long con-
ference concerning this work with
his administrative aides yesterday.

tary of the Treasury Morgenthau,
MIRA Counsel Donald r. Richberg,

London Voices "Regret" Over
"Lack of Progress" in
Discussions With U. S.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

"A. complete deadlock, extending
as far in the future as the most
far-sighted statesman can see, was
reached today in the matter Of
foreign debt payments to the
United States.
In note as brief as it was
blunt, Great Britain, bellwether
Of the defaulting debtors, served
notice on the State Department
that she does not propose to make
any more payments under the
treaty negotiated here II years
ago, nor is she interested in study
ing possibilities Of paying sin
kind" that is, goods and services,
as suggested in the recent Ameri"
can note.
''With Regret"
The barest crack was left open
in the debt door by one sentence
in the British communication:
ellis Majesty's government.
regret that up to the present
time it has not been possible to
make further progress in this
matter, but they will welcome
the opportunity Of resuming the
discussion whenever 1t may APP
pear that the present abnormal
conditions have so passed away
as to offer favorable prospects
for a settlement. -"
Under the circumstances, no re.
SponSible official here believes
that such q time will ever present
itself. The abnormal conditions
mentioned in the note doubtless
will continue for a long time, if
not forever, so far as the debts are
concerned.
Thus, the United States is now
confronted with a situation in
which it's debtors not only have
refused payments already due
under existing treaties, but a situa.
ton, too, in which the debtors say
they are mot interested" in dis.
cussing new means to settle their
Obligations.
Steps Against Germany
What the American Govern
ment will do-if anything-re.
mains to be seen.
Probably nothing will be done,
although both Britain and France
have given an inviting example
in the German default. With
the default shoe on the other
foot, and Germany suspending
interest payments on her bonds
that are largely held by British
and French subjects, they are
taking punitive measures.
They are establishing clearing
houses to take over whatever
favorable balances Germany has
in their respective countries, and
distribute such funds to the salts
faction of the bondholders.

Social Crime of Unemployment

The determination of the annual convention Of
the American Federation of Labor to make a
nationwide drive on both the economic and poll
teal fronts for the Inauguration of the 30-hour
week as a partial remedy for unemployment
should receive the whole-hearted support of
every patriotic citizen.
The necessity for militant action by organized
labor to secure the shorter work week is EN-
phasized by the terrible toll levied on the millions
of unemployed and their antilles in other ways
than the direct suffering caused by hunger and
lack of sufficient clothing and shelter and the
failure of federal, state and local authorities adj
e|quately to provide for those who are jobless
through no fault of their own.
The extent of this untold suffering is tersely
and poignantly recited by Newton D.. Baker,
chairman of the National Citizens Committee of
the 1884 Mobilization for Human Needs. In dis
cussing the effects of prolonged unemployment
on the health of the unemployed and their fam
lilies, Mr.. Baker says:
Unemployment increases sickness. study
made by the Milbank Fund in eight industrial
cities reveals that there is 48 per cent more
illness in families of the unemployed than in
families having full-time workers. x = y =
One-half of all the care administered in the vol
untary hospitals of today is given free an
increase of 40 per cent over 1929. Hospital
facilities are overcrowded by the needy who
come empty-handed and cannot pay. The
wards overflow, and patients lie on cots in the
corridors. At the same time the earnings of
the hospitals from pay patients have fallen off,
as have the contributions and the endowment
incomes"
Turning to the millions of iobless who are not
yet registered on relief rolls, but whose needs
are desperate, Mr.. Baker adds:
1.-THE relief rolls include millions, but there
are perhaps as many needy off the rolls as on,
people near the end of their resources and still
struggling unaided. They have no margin left
for health protection when sickness comes.
They are too poor and too distraught to give
their children proper care, or to keep their
own minds and spirits dauntless in their years
of trial. = < = Normal childhood is pecul-
iarly a prey to the ills of the depression. To-
day more children by 80 per cent are cared for

met by the government. Forty weekly
contributions during the previous "a
months are required before benefits
are allowed for the first time, and 20
weeks in a year afterwards. Benefits
of from two to six kroner a day, &C
cording to the contributions, will be
paid for 20 weeks.
Switzerland.
Because of the continued depression,
the Swiss Federal unemployment in
surance system, which protected $685.
900 persons at the end of 1888, has
been temporarily amended to increase
the government subsidy in order to X
tend the duration of benefits from 90
to 120 days in a year. At the same
time the rates of benefits have been
changed by setting up maxima Of
wages to be taken into consideration
when computing benefits, whereas pre-
viously flat sums of so per cent of
wages for unemployed persons without
dependents and 90 per cent to
those with dependents we're paid. The
rates have been set at 10 francs a day
for unemployed persons with several
dependents, II francs for those with
one dependent, and 10 or 8 francs for
those with no dependents, according to
the age of the unemployed person. The
change in benefit rates is to be in eff
feet as long as the depression lasts,
whereas the other two changes are
limited to periods Of about a year.
All Swiss cantons have now adopted
the Federal unemployment insurance
act under which it is estimated that
100000 francs were expended dur
ing 1888.
New Reciprocity Agreements.
New reciprocity agreements between
European countries for the protection
by social insurance of their nationals
who are residing outside their borders
have recently been concluded by sew
eral governments.
One such agreement has been
reached by France and Czechoslovakia.
1t entities citizens Of one country re-
siding in the other to enjoy all the adj
vantages Of unemployment insurance
provisions and other relief which the
workers in the country Of residence
enjoy. A more inclusive agreement,
including unemployment insurance,
health insurance, old age pension and
other schemes, between France and
Spain was ratified by both countries
and came into force on Jan. 1, 1884.
Accident insurance was the subject
