Given at Farley.

A Nationwide educational program
for the unemployed, calling for estab-
lishment of camp schools in all parts
of the country, is contemplated by the
Federal Emergency Relief Admins
tration, it was revealed yesterday at
a White House conference presided
over by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The plan was outlined to a gather
ing of F. E. r. A. experts in the east
room Of the Executive Mansion by
Aubrey Williams, assistant relief ad-
ministrator, after a round of discus
sion for the benefit Of the First Lady.
Urged Chain Of Camps.
Previously, Miss Hilda w. Smith,
F. E. r. A. workers education expert,
had proposed establishment of chain
of camps, in which industrial and
clerical workers. as well as young and
old women, would be separated for
two-month training period.
II think we will have enough money
to do this on a Federal scale" Will
liams announced. after Miss Smith
had outlined her proposal. He added
that Harry L. Hopkins, relief admin
istrator, is strongly behind the
scheme.
The conference lasted throughout
the day, the afternoon session being
held in the Admiral Hotel. Speakers
included Dr. George E. zook, COM
missioner Of education; Miss Josephine
Brown Of the F. E. R. A, Mrs. Ellen
S. Woodward, director OF women's
work for the F. E. r. A.; Mrs. Mary
G.. Moon, Illinois women's work d.
rector, and Miss Eleanor Colt, repre-
senting the Affiliated School Of Work
ers. approximately 100 women were
present.
Drifting HaphaZardly.
Unattached girls and women have
been the last to receive relief, Mrs.
Woodward told the women, adding:
They are drifting around and have
haphazard relations with industry. I
should like to see good case work and
resident camps give these lonely.
hard-pressed girls both the strength
within themselves and the opportuni-
ties to work for their communities.
DR.. Zook pointed out that two
thirds of the codes adopted under the
N. r. A. have prohibited young people
of l8 or under from working, but we
have not seen to it that these children
are offered education in the place OF
labor

MAN WHO FEARED
VIOLENT DEATH SHOT
Lawyer Found sprawled in Porch
Light Glare-Had Read
Thriller Story.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, Kans., December %.
Louis zickgraf,s premonition that
violent death would end his legal
career came true in manner which
mystified officers here today.
Shot through the heart, the fiery
81 year old Pittsburg lawyer was
found sprawled in the glare of porch
light at his country home last night.
There was no sign of a struggle.
Open upon table near the body
was a detective magazine thriller,
Murder on the Limited" which he
apparently was reading when sum-
moned to the front door by a knock.
The premonition Of death was re-
ported to authorities by Earl Kelley
of Pittsburg, brother of the second
of Zickgraf's three wives.
Zickgraf had engaged in both Social
ist and Republican politics. He was
lieutenant Of the 130th Field Artil-
lery in the World War. The fact that
the bullet ranged downward through
the heart theorized it was fired by a
tall person.
Zickgraf was twice divorced. Last
Labor day he married Mrs. Coletta
White, Kansas City widow. After five
days she left him. Among the letters
found in Zickgraf's effects we're many,
unsigned. from Kansas City woman,
and a Nevada (Mo) correspondent
who signed herself Eva"
