CONGRESS CONTROL
ON GOLD IS SOUGHT
Father Coughlin Fights Treasury
Administration of Roosevelt
Money Program.
Nv the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
DETROIT, January 22.-Congres-
sional rather than Treasury admins
tration Of the Roosevelt gold program Is
sought by Rev. Father Charles E
Coughlin on the ground that such a
system is prescribed by the Constitu-
ton
In a speech yesterday Father Cough
lin asked his listeners to write to their
Representatives or Senators and urge
the adoption of such an amendment
along with one providing for the re-
monetization Of silver He said that
unless these changes were made the
compromise to the international bank
ers is complete"
"Our Constitution proclaims that Con-
gress has the right to coin money ano
regulate the value thereof and the will
of the American people is that Con-
gress shall retain that right" Father
Coughlin said.
In warning against the delegation OF
such powers to the Secretary OF the
Treasury, Father Coughlin emphasized
his confidence in the integrity OF Pres
ident Roosevelt and Secretary Morgen-
thau, but added, These gentlemen are
not immortal"
Father Coughlin's speech was broad
cast over an independent hook-up OF
radio stations.

REICH GIVEN TASTE
Of LABOR CONTROL
Shoe Factory Workers Get
20 Per Cent Pay Cut by
Government Order.
BY JUNIUs b. WOOD.

0y Radio to Inc star.
BERLIN, Germany. January ia
foretaste Of the drastic control which
the government will have over industry
and labor when the new labor law goes
into effect on May is given in the 20
per cent wage cut just announced for
shoe factory workers.
The trustees Of labor who administer
the present law decided that the shoe
industry was in distress, and the wage
cut is the measure Of relief. MOST OF
the German shoe factories are near
Erfurt
The new law centralizes the author
ity of the government over both en-
ployer and workers. Its administration,
however, may vary according to the
provinces. some being capltaliStlc ana
others favoring the worker, consequently
both sides are apprehensive OF its ell
fects.
Hours of Work Reduced.
The government policy has been to
reduce unemployment rather than to
improve the conditions OF the en-
ployed Its efforts have been notlceaply
successful, though accomplished by the
wider distribution of work and wages
rather than by any fundamental I'M
provement in business conditions.
Government projects employing large
numbers of men and replacing women
workers with men have been noticeable,
but the greatest number OF the un-
EMPLOYED have been absorbed by part
time work. Individual hours OF work
have been reduced. In the Rhlneland
many workers are employed only two
days a week. which means that three
times as many are working.
Between 100000 and 10000 persons
more than a year ago are working on
the farms. Every peasant has the choice
of taking one or more unemployed city
workers or going to a concentration
camp In return he receives subsidy
of 20 reichsmarks a month from the
government, out Of which he must feed
and pay a minimum Of marks to his
new hired man.
Hand Tools Are Used.
Small business and local manufac-
turing have improved, Official encour-
agement of household and hand indus
try. with the elimination of machinery
as far as possible, and the use of every
method to increase the number OF indi-
Nduals on Jobs, has cared for millions,
with a slight increase in the aggregate
wage costs. In the government labor
camps, in building roads, reclaiming
swamp lands and similar public works
only hand tools are used.
The large industrial centers have felt
the effects of this, but loaferS and those
living on charity have been largely
eliminated from the cities, with CORE
spending improvement in health and
morale
The standard of living of the middle
classes and those who were working has
been reduced, but that of the others has
been improved in the general leveling.

VACANT PROPERTY
PROTECTION URGED
Commissioners Ask Bill to
Amend D. C. Code Be
Pushed in House.

The Commissioners today requested
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee to sponsor a bill which
would through an amendment to the
District code make 1t mlSdeE1eanor
for person to enter or attempt to
enter any unoccupied property without
consent of the owner.
Mrs. Norton was told the proposed
legislation would relieve an anoma-
louS situation whereby persons who had
entered and remained on unoccupied
property without authority were not
subject to arrest although such ac-
ton was an ofenSe under section 824
OF the code if the property was oc-
cupied
The Commissioners also sent to Mrs.
Norton favorable report on the Otter
Dill, authorizing an appropriation of
$4,000 year, from 1885 to l943 for
vocational training of children of
service men, who were either killed in
action or died during the World War.
The benefits of this training would
be extended only to children between
16 and 81 years, who had lived in the
District for five years.
A favorable report likewise was
made on a bill providing means for
handling all property of men who
desert their families without making
proper provisions for their support
The Commissioners submitted an un-
favorable report on bill authorizing
sale of the old Tenley School. The
Board of Education is opposed to the
latter measure, the Commissioners
said, because the old school building
may again be needed for school pur-
poses after expiration of the present
lease of st. Anne's Parochial School
which now occupies it.
Endorsement was given the other
bills because, the Commissioners ex-
planned. there is no provision in ex-
isting law to permit the distribution
Of the estate of an absconding per-
son, regardless of the state of desti-
tuition of his family. The measure
provides for the appointment of q
receiver and the handling of the
property under direction of the court

ACTION SCHEDULED
ON AUTO LIABILITY
House District Committee
Expected to Report Bills
Tomorrow.

Two long-pending compulsory liza
bility insurance bills, one applying to
operators of public vehicles and the
other to drivers of private cars in
volved in accidents, are to be con-
sidered by the House District Commit
tee at its regular meeting tomorrow
Indications are the measures will be
reported favorably
Hearings already have been held on
the bills, both of which have received
the Endorsement of District officials,
civic, trade and automobile organiza-
tlons. A number of taxicab COM
panies also have approved the public
vehicle liability measure, although
the insurance will add to their op-
Grating costs.
Would Help Safe Driver.
The bill applying to operators of
private vehicles, sponsored by Repre-
sentative Mcleod, Republican of
Michigan, is designed to penalize care
less or reckless drivers while at the
same time affording protection to the
safe driver. 1t would require finan-
cial responsibility of all owners who
have failed to meet traffic judgments
or who have been convicted in other
jurisdictions of driving while drunk
or leaving the scene of an accident in
which a personal injury occurred
without making identities known.
Under the bill, conviction in any
State on a violation which would
cause suspension OF revocation of a
driving permit would bring suspen-
sion or revocation by the District
traffic director. The permit would not
be renewed until the owner gives proof
of his ability to pay damages of al
least $4,000 for personal injuries or
death to two or more persons and
property loss of at least 81 1000 from
any one accident.
In addition, the operators permit
and registration certificate of any
owner who failed to satisfy judgment
arising from traffic accidents would be
suspended by the director of traffic
until the judgment is paid and the
operator gives proof of his ability to
pay future damages. The proof would
be a liability insurance certificate, a
surety bond or $1,000 collateral de-
posted with the clerk of the District
Supreme Court.
Financial responsibility would not
be required of any owner against
whom no judgments are obtained or
who has not been convicted in the
District or elsewhere of violation OF
any of the traffic regulations which
require permit suspensions or revoca-
tions.

CHECK ON RELIEF.

Rolls Are Compiled by
U. S. Agents.
s400,0 900 is AUTHORIZED
FOR FIRST HALF OF MAY
100000 Already Is Advanced.
Similar Expenditure This
Week Is Expected.

Federal Relief Administrator Harry
F. Hopkins expects to receive a re-
port this week on the relief needs
of families receiving emergency aid
in Washington.
The report is being compiled from
secret check of the District relief
rolls, which especially assigned Fed
eral agents have been making Sc
cretly for the past 10 days. Ever
since the Districts relief needs
reached the scale of 81 100000 month
ly Mr.. Hopkins has been giving the
local situation his special attention.
Allen Knew of Work.
So quietly has the investigation
been conducted that few persons in
the District Building and at Federal
relief headquarters have been aware
of it. 1t was revealed by Mr. Hop
kins yesterday afternoon, with the
explanation that he didn't want
the newspapers to get at our investi-
gators in the middle of things" He
added that they did that in Balti-
more and spoiled the whole thing"
The Federal relief administra ator
said he had put a force of trained
men at work on the District rolls 10
days ago and that Commissioner Allen
was duly aware of the work being
done. These men are making a study
of cases to determine, he said. whether
the families receiving relief are
actually in need of it. The study will
serve to give him conviction on the
matter, one way or the other, he said
Robert Watson. field statistician at
Federal headquarters has been making
an audit of the local relief accounts
for a week or more and it was believed
that this was the whole extent of the
Federal inquiry at this time. Mr.
Hopkins said yesterday that the audit
was a routine phase conducted in
every city and State.
Not Undercover Work.
Despite the fact that secrecy has
veiled the operations of the other in
vestigators engaged on case work Mr.
Hopkins refused to. characterize 1t rs
"undercover" He left newspaper men
to draw their own conclusions.
Hopkins has authorized $4,000
grant to cover relief needs in the Dis
trict during the first two weeks of this
month. but he disclosed yesterday he
had advanced only 100000 of this
amount. 1t is possible, however. that
ne will make a second advance this
week.
Commissioner Allen has asked fol-
81 900, 900 to meet all relief needs in
May. This is the same amount given
last month. when an additional $780,
900 was allotted to make up deficit
Until the present investigation shows
the actual need for additional relief
funds, Hopkins has indicated all along
that he will hold the District to $780,
900 this month.
