RELIEF PLANS
AWAIT BILL 'S
PASSAGE

Continued rumors Of how the
President intends to manage and
spend the Administrators 1880
million dollars work relief fund
today drew message on the sub
ject from the President himself,
who stopped fishing from the
yacht Nourmahal long enough to
deny that any plans for spending
the money had been made.
The word was flashed by radio
from the Nourma1al to Marvin H.
Mcintyre, his assistant secretary
ashore in Florida, and relayed by
telegraph to the White House,
where the contents were explained
by his other assistant, Secretary
Stephen Early.
The substance Of the message
is that no relief plan will be de-
termined until after the passage
Of the bill.
The message is intended to put
an end to so called "inside stories"
aS to who will be in charge Of
various portions Of the work re-

Mrs. Dorothy Rice Sims, the di'
minutive firebrand bridge partner
o. her husband, ,. Hal Sims, to-
day charged the CulbertsonS-
Ely and Josephine-with stall
ing"
The CulbertSons are leading by
$3.50 points in their 150-rubber
contract bridge match against the
Sims but Dorothy says it's only
because Ely won't give the cards
a chance to run.
Dorothy declared right in the
teeth of CulbertSon:
'Why don't you keep seated
and play some cardS?"
"YOu come late. You stop
for tea. You broadcast and de-
clare receSSeS to hold social
court. If we win a couple Of
rubbers, you declare another
intermissiOn.
I'VE came here to play cards.
Let's have some card playing"
P. Hal Sims told his wife to
pipe down. But she didn't.
Mrs. Sims also voiced her suspi.
cionS as to the accuracy Of the
scoring of the aces and kings held
to date.
The Scoreboard at Crockford's
Club. controlled by Mr.. Culbertson,
where the match is being played,
records 300 aces held by the Sims
tandem to date against 295 gar.
nered by the Culbertsons; and 312
kings held by the Sims against
292 held by the CulbertSons.
The Culbertson's almost doubled

NEW YORK, March % U.N.s0.
Buffeted by a ten-day storm in
midatlantic, the S. S. President
Johnson, largest round-the-world
boat of the Dollar Line, docked 4S
hours late at Jersey City today.
= A freak of the storm was the
addition of an unexpected paSSen-
ger, carrier pigeon bearing a
passport numbered If SITS F. s
which was found on the deck and
apparently had been carried 500
miles over the windsWept ocean
before reaching safety.
While the ship lay at Genoa,
passengers said, Premier MuSSo-

board to negotiate for a cargo
of tin bound for San Francisco
for which he paid a million lira.

j. s. PREPARING
To AVOID NEXT
FOREIGN WAR
By EARL GOODWIN


Although you cannot get any
one to say this Administration,
particularly President Roosevelt,
expects a European war, lot Of
pressure is being exerted by the
State Department and the Senate
Committee on Foreign Affairs to
rig up a hog-proof fence to keep
Americans out of the war zone
If, as, and when.
The term "hog-proof" Is used
adviSedly. The American people
are still paying the meat packers
for ham and bacon they tried to
sneak into Germany via Holland,
only to have large portions Of 1t
captured by the British navy in
those ticklish days from 1914 to
1917, when Woodrow Wilson was
keeping us out Of war"
Cost Is Too High
There is a high-minded attitude
about proposed American neu-
trality in the next European war
which some of the close associ-
ates of the President tell each
other is on its way within, say,
a year to 18 months; but there is
also a hard.boiled, dollar-and-
cents feeling that it costs the peo-
pie of this country too much to
try to peddle their ham and eggs,
copper, steel, gunpowder and what
not to an embroiled Europe.
What happens is something like
this: If the munitions makers
and the food manufacturers sue.
ceed in getting their stuff through
to the nation which ordered it,
the money goes to the private
manufacturer. If someone cap
lures the cargo, then eventually
war claims are settled, this Gov
eminent pays the manufacturer
for his war cargo and the Euro
pean nation chalks up a debit
J that it will settle with this coun'
try-sometime.
Huge Sums Involved
) Large scores of hundreds Of
millions of dollars are now in
cluded in the debts that European
nations owe this country for the
) World War - simply because
American munitions makers were
trying to sell stuff to Germany
before we entered the war.
This Administration is now
much more concerned about ar
ranging a strict neutrality
which is the State Department
term for "hog-proof fence"-than
about anything else.
That's the main thing the
President talked about recently
with Senator Key Pittman, of
Nevada, and Senator Borah. It's
also the thing he's going to talk
about when he next sees Bernard
Baruch, who has been mysteri.
ouSly getting together some data
on the subject.
Much Of the proposed legisla.
ton to guarantee "profitlesS
wars" in the future has to do with
the matter of profits that Amer
ican manufacturers might make
out of a European war. Much Of
the midnight oil at the White
House recently has been used up
in an effort to work out a plan
whereby European wars will have
to be fought without the business
Of American munitions makers
and meat packers.
The matter is a difficult one to
handle. If it were left entirely to
the Nye munitions committee, the
munitions makers would be pre-
vented from doing business in
Europe in any war. But there are
other considerations: treaties, dip
lomats, politics, lobbyists pulling
this way and that.

UNION SCALES
ALLOWED ON
WPAJ0BS

Adjustment of differences be-
tween the Work Relief Admins
tration and labor unions over the
security wage rates was laid in
the laps of State Works Progress
Administration administrators TO-
day as a result of an executive
order issued by Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins. -.
Hopkins order authorized
State administrators-and Gen.
Hugh johnson, administrator
for New York city-to fix their
own minimum hours of labor on
relief jobs.
There will be no change in the
monthly wage scale, Hopkins an
nounced. Thus. under the new
order, local administrators may
reduce the number of hours OF
labor so that the monthly Sc
curity wages, on an hourly pay
basis, may meet the prevailing
rates of wages in the respective
communities, meeting the ob1ec-
tions of the union leaders to the
security wage program. The Sc
curity wages range from $lS a
month to $94.
The order was issued following
two conferences by Hopkins with
representatives Of the building
trades department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, General
johnson and Assistant Secretary
of Labor Eward F.. McGrady.
While Hopkins insisted that no
hourly wage rate was considered
in the security wage program, and
that all wages were figured on a
monthly basis, he admitted that
the new order would make it pos
sible to meet the prevailing wage
rates by reducing the number OF
hours of work in a month.
