18-Hour Week Now
Assured Employees
In Current Month
Grant Not to Be Further Decreased - Future Policy
Unknown Transfer Of Work to PWA Causes Com
fusion Burden Of Local Relief Increases

Waterbury's FERA appropria-
ton of approximately $4,000 will
be continued each week through
out the month Of August, william
M. Harris, FERA administrator,
said today. Announcement that
the grant will not be further de-
creased, at least during the current
month, assures FERA employees Of
an 10 hour working week.
Although no predictions on fu.
ture policies of the federal admin
istration can be safely made in
view Of the generally muddled re-
lief situation and the confusion
caused by the attempted transfer
Of the FERA to the wPA, It is
probable that the allotment will be
continued in its present size at
least until November, when accord
ing to reports emanating from
Washington all grants for direct
relief will cease.
Additional Aid Asked
Meanwhile the city must assume
the rapidly increasing burden Of
local relief. Because of the re-
duction in working hours for
FERA employees, many Of them
have been forced to apply for ad-
ditional aid to the public welfare
department, city relief agency.
Funds for the maintenance Of
this department, in common with
other city expenditures, are de-
rived from general taxation.
The possibility Of the absorption
Of the Mutual Aid Unemployment
fund in the new relief plan now
appears extremely remote, because
Of the evident intention Of federal
relief hads to shift as much as
possibl Of the relief burden d.
rectly to cities. Unemployables,
1t has been ruled, must be cared
for by their respective commune
ties. Many Of those on the Mu-
tual Aid list are in this classifi-
cation, receiving a direct relief al,
lotment each week.
1f2 WPA Jobs Approved
The Works Progress Admins
tration, which is expected to pro-
vide employment for many now
listed on the FERA rolls, has sue
ceeded in gaining federal approval
for liz, projects out of total of
more than 100 in the state ac-
cording to the most recent infor-
nation available. This means that
in order to be in full swing when
FERA allotments cease. more than
900 projects must be approved in
little less than months. Among
the remaining projects are 80 from
this city, none of which has yet
been given federal sanction.

Ancient Greece's High
Stage of Civilization

New discoveries In Athens besides
being of scientific value start
thoughts that show the comparative
unimportance of the recent revolu-
ton In Greece, says Pathfinder Mag
azine. A cemetery dating back to
1900 B. G. and containing numerous
undisturbed and perfectly preserved
skeletons was uncovered 80 feet be-
low the ancient Athenian senate ad-
Joining the Acropolis. Two thousand
years before the burial Of these bod
les, which had been inferred for $500
years, Greek civilization emerged
from the Stone age. BY the time
these particular old Greeks lived
civilization in Greece had struggled
upward against countless reverses
to a high stage. The ruling class
of the time lived In well-made, san
ltary buildings, with bath cham
bers, windows, and sliding doors.
They rode horse-drawn chariots on
paved streets, and were entertained
by bull-fghts, boxing, and armed
combat. Art had risen to a high
level and close commercial inter-
course was carried on with Egypt.
And about three centuries after these
now skeletonized men and women
had ceased to live came the war with
Troy. Then came the Dorian inva-
sion at the beginning of the Iron age
more wars-ups and downs in CIV
ilization-conquest by Rome, and the
following collapse. Thus the recent
revolt was hardly an incident in
Greek history.

So asserts Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins in her annual report
to congress, and she sets forth these
six specific duties of the government
in this respect:
/. To do everything in It's power
to establish minimum basic standards
for labor, below which competition
should not be permitted to force stand
ards of health, wages and hours.
2. To further peaceful settlements
of controversies and relieve labor of
the necessity of resorting to strikes in
order o secure equitable conditions
and the right to be heard.
8. Through legislation and fostering
cooperation between employers and
workers to make every job the best
that the human mind can devise as
to physical conditions. human relations
and wages.
4. To encourage such organization
and development Of wage earners as
will give status and stability to labor
as a recognized important group Of
citizens having a contribution to make
to economic and political thought and
to the cultural life of the community.
s. To arrange that labor play its
part in the study and development Of
any future economic policies.
8. To encourage mutually between
labor and employers in the improve
ment of production and the develop

DESPITE Germany's promise never
- to engage In unrestricted subma-
marine warfare, France entered an i'm
mediate and strong protest to the
reich's bilateral pact with Great Brit
ain, permitting Germany to increase
naval tonnage. Capt. Anthony Eden
was hurried over to Paris to explain
the British action and justify 1t. Pre-
mier Laval told him that the French
national doctrine was and would con-
tinue to be that organization Of col
lective security must precede any legal
ization of German rearmament.
Capt Eden then went to Rome and
Mussolini told him fatty that he sided
with France and could not approve
the manner in which the Anglo-Ger-
man accord was reached without con-
sulting Italy and France.
No more success did Capt. Eden
have in trying to get II Duce to sub
NIT to compromise allowing Italy
certain concessions in Abyssinia In
return for the guarantee that there
would be no war with the African
monarchy. Mussollni refused to talk
about it. Great Britain was faced
with two remaining choices: TO influ-
ence the Abyssinian government to
accede to Italian demands in toto or
simply give up and let the apparently
inevitable war go on.
