THIS is INDICATED BY PRO-
GRAM OUTLINED TO FUR
NISH EMPLOYMENT FOR
THOSE ON ROLLS

Many persons have asked The
Citizen how long the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
program is to hast. To answer this
definitely is impossible.
However, it can be said that the
plans indicate the program will
last into the coming year. This
is the conclusion arrived at from
the statement that another long
period of work is ahead with an
intensified campaign to be plan
ned for next winter.
Federal Emergency Relief Adj
ministrator Harry l.. Hopkins has
fixed six fields of work as guide
to state and local relief organiza-
tons in planning their programs.
Outline of Program
Employment of needy persons
would be distributed as follows,
3 percent planning projects. 80
percent public improvements, Is
percent demolition and housing,
15 percent production and distri-
button of goods needed by the I'M
employed, z percent public well
fare, health and recreation serv-
ice and 10 percent education, arts
and research. The reserve of 20
percent may be distributed among
any of the above mentioned fields
of endeavor.
Planning work is intended to
provide employment for engineers,
architects. statisticians and other
professional workers in field OF
office. Planning and coordina-
ton of projects relative to state
and local Improvement are stress
ed by Administrator Hopkins.
Class OF Work
improvements to public prop
erty is to include work identical
with that carried on by CWA,
such as is being done in Key
West, the city hall, county court
house. waterworks, limited high
way and street work, and air.
ports.
Public buildings, such as school
houses, auditoriums, community
houses and other institutions come
within this field. All projects to
be approved by state administers
tions.
No person may be employed
less than Sd hours in any month
nor less than 3 days in any week.
Those whose needs are less than
this shall be put on direct relief.

WASHINGTON HEADLINERS
Young Lew Douglas, New Deal Enigma, Guards Treasury

By FRANK |. WELLER

.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-No
matter how far or how fast it
travels, the Washington parade
forms at the office of Lewis w.
Douglas, because he's the man who
tells the government how to spend
its billions.
His door is marked, Director
of the Bureau of the Budget"
and behind it sits the No. l para
dox of the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
He is not ''brain truster." He
is not a "new dealer" He is not
a ''tory" He is the son of Raw
hide jim" Douglas, an Arizona
copper miner who didn't get that
kind of name playing table tennis.
He is former captain of artillery
whom two nations decorated for
valor in action. He is Roosevelt's
surprise" appointment to the key
post in the nations spending.
Conservative Ballast
Why, with federal credit pledg-
ed to national recovery, the presi-
dent should guard-mount the
treasury with one who had earn
ed the title of the most tight
listed" member of the house of
representatives was question
which surface consideration did
not explain.
Perhaps he wanted conservative
ballast in federal expenditures. 1t
may be Mr.. Roosevelt wanted the
"new deal" tempered by a little
enthusiasm for saving. Possibly he
saw a need for vigorous and con-
tinuOus criticism within the adj
ministration to arm it against at
tacks from without.
If those were his wishes, he
got all three-and more-in
young Lew" Douglas.
Just turned 40, lean and ener-
getic, this grandson of doughty
Scot who waded into the lawless
west with an empty pistol holster
and developed the richest lode of
copper in the world is setting a
personal and individual record.
Makes His Own Decisions
I He opposed the administration
on many features of its economic
philosophy, particularly the gold
purchase plan, and defended it
, when congress over-rOde the veto
on increased pay for veterans and
federal employees. In nothing and
at no time has there been evidence
that any man could make decisions
for Lew Douglas.
The story is told that, on one
/ occasion, President Roosevelt him.
self had to appeal to Mrs. Douglas
to take her husband in hand when
. he steadfastly refused to take a
brief rest from his work.
That is the man whose work
! must be weighed in all matters
affecting the governments fiscal
program. 1t is up to him to keep

the financial house in order. That
is why he may cry HALT" and
change the whole scene of a fed
eral project. :.
Congress heard that command
when, in special session, it passed
the national economy act-Doug-
las chief victory as director of the
budget. He slashed into depart
mental appropriations without
fear or favor, upsetting many pro-
grams and decimating many pay
3rolls.
! His, however, was not the fau-
cous way. His friends say he has
an exceptionally gentle nature.
He is even modest. Unlike the
first director of the budget, Cen
eral Charles Gates Dawes, this
third man to hold the post does
not use his military title. He does
not pound the desk and roar. He
speaks in a firm quiet voice and
seems easier to handle than the
general.
Gentle-But Firm
But he is not. He may act with
smile instead of scowl, but he
is just as hard-boiled as his pre-
decessor.
To a gathering of business men,
loud in criticism of his policies,
he said:
$50 far as l am concerned it is
my conviction that the credit of
the government must remain I'M
impaired as the foundation of our
economic system. 1t must be pre-

Cat-Calls From Veterans

Gnu.
Cat-Calls From Veterans
Personally wealthy and popular,
Douglas public record shows no
bargaining for favors. He took his
political future in his hands in
1882 when he transformed the
crossroads and four-corners of his
Arizona district, largely controlled
by ex-service men, to defend his
position against payment of the
bonus.
Gratitude" he told them,
SHOULD not be carried to the ex-
! tent of granting a subsidy to
those whose disability were incur
red while not in service" nor
should it proceed to the extent
of destroying the country which
the ex-service men sought to save
He was answered by cat-calls
and boos, but he won.
With the same personal reck-
lessness in the house he set the
stage for his entrance as the
eleventh member Of the Roose-
welt official family. Big leaks in
public funds are easy TO find, but
the myriad little trickles in the
form of private bills are wont to
pass almost noiselessy. Repre-
sentative Douglas amplified them
so unflinchingly he was named to
. the economy committee where he
became virtually a human paddock
on vaults of the United States
! treasury.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May IS
Reading in the signs of the times the
most serious menace that popular
government the world over has faced
in a century, a Federal judge here
last night called for a recurrence to
fundamental principles"
The speaker, Judge John j. Par
ker of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals at Richmond, Va. how
ever, was quick to tell the industrial
conference of the Episcopal Church
that the American Government has
not failed, and neither the economic
depression through which we are
passing nor the coming of the ma
chine age is any excuse for 10 ing
faith in the constitutional structure
under which we have been nourished.'
The subject of his address was THE
Federal Constitution in Period OF
Change"
Passing Through Crisis.
I'VE are going through a crisis in
the history of the world" he said.
Everywhere the ideals of the past
are being aSSsiled. In scholarship,
in business. IT, morals-in every realm
of human thought and human activ-
ity there is revolt against established
standards. 1 am not one of those
who thinks that it is an unmixed
evil. On the contrary l believe we
are witnessing the birth of a new
civilization, civilization Of higher
standards OF righteousness and of
greater opportunity for the expand
ing nature of man.
The danger OF this, he said, with
especial reference to government. is
that 'in the zeal for reform We may
destroy the good In our civilization as
we'll as the bad" and in "our passion
for the ideal we may sacrifice the
