 Later Lomen intended to ask the Government for advances for resi- dents homes who cannot arrange credits in time to obtain materials and rebuild their homes before winter strikes This money will be paid back.

 The funds had not actually been received at. noon today but the Governor was certain they would be available without delay. This, he commended, would permit inn mediate employment of a large number of men to begin clearing away the debris and get started on

Decentralization Is Noau
 Seen as Factor for Relief
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-With the problem of relief for the des- titute becoming more and more of vital concern to the Federal Gov ernment, the question of what to do about it is occupying some of the best minds of the Adminis- tration.
 Those officials directly charged with giving aid to the hundreds of thousands who have been left without opportunity for work be- cause of new developments in in- dustry are not the only ones try ing to arrive at a solution of the problem. The cooperation of nu- merous other agencies has been en- listed in an effort to develop some sort of a program where the gov- ernment and private business to- gether can cope with the situation.
 The answer, all seem agreed, lies in decentralization of industry the setting up for small factories in the rural districts so that indus trial workers may live in the coun try and raise large share of their food.

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 19.- Limited relief work is now under full sway in the wake of, the disastrous fire which laid this Northern Alaska city in ashes on Monday.
 The relief work is being done under severely col d weather. Rain is falling and this further complicates the situation amid the scenes of the blackened ruined city.
 City and Federal agencies worked tirelessly in arrang- ing more permanent places for the 400 homeless in which to live.
 The food supply is being rapidly depleted.
 Two restaurants, with sal vaged toves and cooking utensils, were hurriedly set up in shacks and the supply of ham and eggs was soon exhausted and sourdough hot cakes, reindeer steaks, etc., are now on the menu.

Decentralization Seen

Some visualize in the not too far distant future a change in en- vironment for millions and re- turn to the farm and factory con- bination of century ago.
 The latest census figures show that two-thirds of all factory wage jobs today are to be found in three per cent of the land of the na- ton.
 Only during the last 10 years has decentralization begun on large scale. Now it is estimated that some five million workers are em- ployed in mechanical and manufac- turing industry in the country or in towns of less than 2,5O0 popu- latiOn.
 The nucleus around which the government is centering it's effort in this direction is the $25,O00,000 subsistence hcmesteads program The FSHA, however, is primarily experimental

New POlUer to Be Launched
 Into Recorery Drire; Plans
 Are Reported to Be Forming
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Hints thrown out in many quar- ters indicate that Washington is cogitating the possibility of new economic coup of major propor- tions to put more power into the recovery drive.
 What it will be evidently is not yet known even in innermost ad- ministration circles. Various propos- als are under study, and the brain trust is burning midnight oil.
 One suggestion, possibly put cut as trial balloon, is that instead of further restricting industry, the MIRA now urge every factory to op- crate to capacity, reemploying mil lions of workers and getting hun dreds of millions of new dollars into circulation.
 Another is that fresh attack be made on the debt problem. in the form of projected legislation to scale down all indebtedness ex- cept that of the federal govern ment.
 There are others, with no sign yet that any one of them is near adoption. But the fact that so many remain unemployed = that the relief load promises to be so great unless something is done : is squirting officials to the search for something, somewhere, to turn the trend definitely upward again.
 Speakership Battle Angles
 Best opinion is that the struggle over the vacant house Speaker ship will continue to be sharp and indecisive for weeks to come. Some thing definite may develop soon after the November elections.
 The outcome hardly seems likely to make much difference as be- tween "right-wing7 and "left-wing" legislative influence on Capitol Hill. It is improbable any candidate can be elected without pledging himself directly or indirectly to go along with the Roosevelt admins tration, whichever way it turns.
 That the dispute will accentuate divisions already existing among House Democrats, however, cannot be doubted. Tn other words, while the Administration forces are rated certain to win, the victory prob ably will leave new arrangements in it's wake
 In some respects. the job of floor leader may be, for this reason, ac- tually more important than that of speaker. That position is the real objective of several who have an- nounced for Speaker.
