N 'CARRAN SET
FORPAYDR|VE

Following a meeting yesterday
with members of the American
Federation of Labor Wage Resto-
ration Conference, Senator Pat
McCarran CD Of Nevada an
nounced he will introduce and
sponsor the conference plan for
elimination of paycuts January
l and for ending other economy
law provisions.
The conference members car
ried to the Senator a. draft of
their proposed bill, and said they
will request that the same pro-
posal be introduced and pressed
in the House by Representative
Glenn Griswold CD of Indiana.
The Indiana member introduced
the first paycut elimination bill
in the House last year.
While it is the plan that this
bill be introduced as soon as Con-
gress convenes next week, it has
not yet been agreed what method
will be used to get the proposal
enacted into law. .'... ,..,-..
Already Representative Clarence
Mcleod (DO of Michigan, an ar.
dent pay restoration advocate, has
announced that unless the Presi-
dent in his budget message rec
ommends full pay return January
1. he will offer an amendment for
that purpose to the first appro-
priation bill that comes before
Congress.
If Mr.. Mcleod is unsuccessful
in having his amendment at
tached to the appropriation bill
in the House, Senator McCarran,
a member of the Senate Appro-
priation Committee, will make
every effort to have the Senate
Committee and the Senate agree
to place the amendment on an
appropriation measure.

MESSAGES KEEP
|. PRESIDENT 7
OCCUPIED
Visitors Barred As Chief
Executive Shapes Policy
And Budget Plans
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt today got
down to what Stephen Early, his
assistant secretary, terms "the
hard paper work" on the coming
messages to Congress, which will
include outlines of Government
policies for the next two years and
present to waiting nation figures
representing the huge sums neceS-
sary to run the Government re-
lief organization and emergency
bureaus for the next fiscal year.
Because the President desires to
have uninterrupted hours for con.
centration, he has instructed Mar
vim Mcintyre, assistant secretary
in charge of appointments, to
bring in visitors only when neces-
sary and when they have informa-
ton connected with the message
which now is rapidly taking form.
Few Visitors
Aside from one or two personal
visitors and two diplomatic calls
the important work in the Presi-
dents office today centered
around conferences with Secre-
taries Morgenthau, of the Treas
ury; Ickes, of the Interior. De-
partment; Daniel w. Bell, jr., act
ing Director of the Budget, and
Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator.
This was taken to mean that
the President still is working on
the vast financial and credit
problems involved in the twin
problems of relief and public
works. Although there have been
many rumors and reports con-
corning the amount of money in
volved in the relief and public
works budget, it has been authori-
tatively stated definite figures
have not been decided.
Reform Plea Waits.
Meantime hopes of the business
leaders have been dashed by the
fact that the President has not
yet read the program for recov-
cry and reform made up at White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va, under
the auspices of the United States
Chamber of Commerce and the
National Associa ton of Manufac.

Scenes of indescribable horror
followed as the terrorized miners
Surged to the rear coaches. Many
leaped head-long through the
train windows and several were
badly gashed by broken glass.
Working through the confusion,
volunteer rescue crews carried the
dead and injured over the 25-mile

BAKER BOARD'S 5
PROPOSAL IS
FOLLOWED
Langley Field Will Be Focal
Point For Concentration
of 900 U. S. Planes
By International News Service


Americas military air service
today was established on a new
basis for a one.year test Of its abil-
ity to operate as giant aerial
armada in case foreign warbirdS
threaten American shores.
BY direction Of Secretary OF
War Dern, the proposed general
headquarters air force was estab-
lished for one year of experiment.
The purpose of this general head
quarters air force is to concen-
trate all the combat units Of the
Army Air Corps into one organ
ization to serve as an emergency
flying force.
Under Staff Chief.
This force will be held in readi'
ness for call at moments notice
to concentrate and roar in giant
mass formation to any part OF the
Nation that may be threatened by
attack.
These fighting machines will be
at the disposal of and under di-
rect command Of the chief of
staff of the Army, instead of the
chief of the Air Corps. This is in
accordance with the recommends
tionS of the Baker board, which
proposed that the duties Of the
chief of Air Corps be confined to
training and procurement actiVi-
ties.
Under the new organization the
airplanes will remain at the va
riouS Army air fields in readiness
to fly on short notice to any desig-
mated spot for concentration into
an armada for maneuverS.
Langley Headquarters
Headquarters will be established
at Langley Field, Va, under COM
mand of Lieut.. Col. Frank M. An
drews. He will be responsible to
and take orders from the Chief of
Staff.
If called into action immedi-
ately the force would form an
aerial armada of approximately
900 machines. Their concentra-
tion at a designated point, proba-
bly, Langley Field, will be worked
out on paper first and this will
require several months work.

tor will find more dogs and other
pets which are available. So if
you want a pet, write to the pet

JOB PROBLEM

Dole System 0VerhauIed to
Shift Insurance Cost
To Employers
BY CHARLES A. SMITH
Copyright, 1894, by International
News SerYicel


LONDON, Dec. 81 GN.SO.
Gas the responsibility for en-
plOyment rests with industry
and not with the State, it is
reasonable that the first costs
of unemployment should be
borne by industry and not by
the State"
On this key sentence, incor.
porated in the report of a COM
mission Of inquiry which pub
lished its findings in 1892, has
been built virtually the entire
structure of the new British
scheme Of social insurance which
is now gradually coming into
operation and which will be work
ing at full blast by July next.
Periods Limited
Noteworthy among the provi.
SionS Of this new law, called the
Unemployed Assistance Act, are
the following:
l. Insurance must be financed
by contributions in three equal
shares provided by the worker,
the employer and the national ex.
chequer.
2. Membership is compulsory
for all workers in the categories
specified.
3. Insurance benefit in individ.
ual cases should be lower than
wages, and Short-time workers
should always be better off than
the unemployed.
Aid for Others
Every unemployed person not
entitled to insurance benefit is to
be included in the comprehensive
scheme of unemployment assist.
ance under a new authority, the
unemployment assistance board.
The only exceptions are white
collar workers normally earning
more than $3.50 year. and
workers disqualified for having
taken part in a trade dispute,
Certain contributions will be
made out of local taxation, but
about 95 per cent of the cost of
the scheme will fall on national
funds, charge estimated by the
reporting commission at nearly
300 million dollars year.

HEARST RIFLE
MATCHES

United States Army. through

ficially adopted the William Ran
dolph Hearst rifle trophy matches
as part Of the Army training pro-
gram, it became known here to-
day.
Plans already are under way
to conduct this annual competi-
ton which for the past Is years
has been the greatest student
event among the nations colleges,
universities, high schools, prep
schools and military academies.
Nine corps commanders (the
United States is divided into nine
areas) have received orders from
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief of
staff, placing the matches il the
nine areas under their direct cor
troll.
Heretofore, the matches have
been conducted under the super
vision of the commanding general
of the Sixth Corps Area, but now
they will be directed by the chief
of infantry in Washington under
the orders of the chief of staff.
It is expected that more than
$4,000 specially prepared and
numbered targets will be required
for the 1885 matches. This num-
Der will provide for participation
of more than 900 r. o. T. C.
teams, which means more than
5000 students. Record firing will
begin earlier than usual, or about

Meridian A. C. footballers have
been kept from the D. c. grid
most of the season be-
cause of playing games out OF
town.
But the Artie Wondrack-coach.
ed lads have enjoyed a great
season and promise to enjoy it
even more between now and De-
cember 9, when they put their
uniforms away for another cam
paign.
The team has three games
ahead. All are of the tough"
variety. Fredericksburg is sched'
uled at Fredericksburg, Va, Nov.
Is. The Frederick Pros are listed
at Frederick, Md, Dec. 2, while on
December 8, the winchester Pros
are to be met at winchester va.
An open date is on schedule
for this Sunday. The team would
play any unlimited team OF the
city or vicinity. Tank NltoWitz can

him out of the remaining quarters
of the game despite the pleas of
Dunlap to get back "in there"
Dunlap suffered painful ankle
twist that day. 1t was one of
those kinds that promised to
linger a long while.
Still With Lad
Today it is still with the lad,
which means that Dunlap will
not be in Central's lineup when
it stacks up against st. Peters,
burg High at Petersburg, Va, on
November % and Columbia
IS. c. High, at Columbia, S. c.,
December /.
Johnny Jones will be in the
quarterback role for Central in
these contests. Coach Coggins
shifted him to that position when
Dunlap was injured and the move
appeared to be splendid one.
Jones made several mistakes
in the Roosevelt game, but that
was because the job was new to
him and he hadn't become ad-
justed to thinking quickly and
clearly when the quarterback's
questions and decisions arose.
Aims to Win
Central hopes to close its sea-
son with literal bang in these
two out-of-town contests. The
team bases it's aims on the ex-
cellent showing it made against
Roosevelt when a % to 6 score
was registered.
That day, the Mt. Pleasanters
were strengthened ~ the pres
ence of several new men, made
eligible by the advisory marks.
Chaimson, Mandes and Vermil-
lion were the biggest improve
ments and these men led Central
to its big win over Roosevelt.
Richardson Arrives
Another thing that happened
that day was the bringing out"
of Billy Richardson as a ball
carrier. This lad ran the field
in large measures by tearing off
runs of 10, % and 80 yards dur
ing the 40 minutes.
Always before, Richardson had
been used as a blocking back.
He made a good one, but he also
demonstrated in the Roosevelt
game he could Ego" with the
best of 'em, if given that chance
to step.
He's expected to be a real Cen,
trail backfield threat against St.
Petersburg and Columbia.

Mr.. LOUIS lads took a Brown
team from Providence, R. l.,

though it had come from i'm

Kats Kadl1c Of Princeton. Both
mighty fine, I tell you.
Best in Football
Indeed, that Kadlic just
chances to be the best quarter
back in football, though you
will seldom hear it mentioned.
But it strikes me that little
Tommy Tomb is not such a
bad pitcher himself. He was
throwing strikes to Furey, Chase
and Brominski against Brown
at any rate. To be sure,
Little's Broadway city slickers
were taking the boys from
Providence for a tour of the
town, finally winding up by
dropping 'em off the top of the
Empire State Building to the
tune of 80 to 0.

Columbia football teams
couldn't have made that many
points in two seasons, playing
