The speaker was Goeta Lung

opera. Standing by window in
the Swedish Legation, where she
is the guest of the Minister and
Nine. Bostrom, the singer looked
out at the snow and said:
"This weather makes me think
of my own home. Snow on the

The interviewer was also puz-
zled, and sought to solve the
puzzle of what puzzled the Swe-
dish Nightingale. The answer was
the lack of an opera house and
a national opera. She explained: i:
I'm our capital, we have an
opera house that dates back to
the seventeenth century, very old
and very beautiful. And we
have a state opera.

Senate Republicans agreed at
q party caucus today to unite in
q vigorous drive to limit PreSi-
dent ROOSevelt'S power in the
spending of the money embraced
in the $4,S8O, 100000 works re-
lief bill.
Whether Federal emergency re-
lief will continue to operate after
February 10, depends upon action
by the Senate on President Roose-
velt's $4,000, 100000 work relief
bill.
Unless the Senate acts, Federal
emergency relief will end Febru-
ary 10. Only sufficient funds are on
hand to operate relief for the first
10 days of February. All States
already have received their Janu-
Rry allotment.
Incorporated in the big work re-
lief bill is a fund of $500 900 900
to carry on emergency relief until
the big work relief program gets
under way. This fund, under the
current estimates, will last only
until the middle of June.
Map Vast Reductions
Meanwhile the staff of Relief Ad-
sninistrator is working out sched-
ules for vast reductions in allct-
ments to States, on the strength
of the Presidents directions to
turn back to direct State response
bility the care of some 1000, 900
unemployables-the aged, chill
dren, cripples and other incompe-
tents whose care was up to the
States before the Federal Govern
ment undertook relief.
States also have been directed
to Gull their relief rolls of all who
should not be on relief. Illinois
already has taken thousands OF
the relief rolls, and for the last
half of January cut down its relief
allotment by almost $4,O00,0O0.
Let None Starve
In States where the burden OF
caring for the unemployableS can
not be assumed, because of State
financial conditions, yer,
FERA officials indicate the Fed
eral Government will continue all
direct relief necessary for this
class, if the Senate passes the
relief bill promptly.
One FERA spokeSmen said:
"The President has said no
one in this country should be
permitted to starve. If the
States do not provide for the
unemplOyableS, the Federal
Government must"
Direct Federal relief, however,
will end with the expenditure of
the 800 million emergency relief
fund carried in the work relief
measure, if it is passed by the
Senate.

JOHNSON RAPS
CONSCR|PT|ON
Of INDUSTRY
Former NRA Head Opposes
Wartime Scheme; Denies
He Knew of Ship Deals
international News Service

Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, in testi-
mony before the House Military
Affairs Committee, today denied
that he had known of charges of
collusion among shipbuilders bid
ding on Government contracts
early in 1888.
John P. Frey, president of the
metal trades department of the
A. F. of L., yesterday told the
Senate Munitions Committee
that charges Of collusion among
Shipbuilders had been presented to
the former Recovery Administra,
tor and that General Johnson had
told him:
"That is too hot for me and
/ am not going to have any
thing to do with it,"
Hits ConScriptiOn
General Johnson said today:
"At that particular time the
Shipbuilding industry had a
code before the NRA. They were
extremely recalcitrant in agree
ing to the code. If 1 had been
in possession of such charges at
that time, 1 certainly would
have used it as a club to bring
this industry into line.'
The committee is considering a
bill by Chairman McSwain of
South Carolina, designed to take
the profits out of war. Gen. John
son said:
"Under the constitution you
can't take property without pay
ing for it."
Hits Military Control
General Johnson's statement
was made in answer to a question
by Chairman McSwain, who asked
if he favored having military
establishment assume control of
the nations industry in event of
war. The General said:
"The economic pattern of
the United States exists through
competition and the survival of
the fitteSt. To replace the men
at the top of industry by mill
tary officials would be against
the best interest of the nation.
1t would disrupt our enormous
strength in industry and would
probably end in defeat"
He expressed approval of the
Swain measure which would fix
maximum prices which industry
could charge in case of war. He
said:
"The bill would accomplish
ciamping down on prices. 1t
would prevent any runaway
price tendencies and do away
with the phenomenon of war.
time prices"
While opposing CONSUMPTION of
industry, General johnson said
industry must be available to the
Government in time of war. He
approved the system employed
during the last war.

BOOST STAFF

Officials of the Civil Service
Commission admitted today that
congressional legislation blanket.
ing the approximately 100000
emergency Government employees
into civil service status probably
would require a considerable en-.
largement of the commissions
staff, particularly for the proposed
noncompetitive examination.
At present. officials affirmed,
there are 848 employees in the
Civil Service Commission, 655 Of
whom are located in Washington.
It was estimated that a possible
Is per cent increase in personnel
would be necessitated by the pro-
posed blanket.
If required, the additional en-
ployes would be drawn from the
rolls already established by the
