BIG CALIFORNIA PLAN
URGED BY SINCLAIR
Letter Tells President Central
Valley Project Would Take
Unemployed of State.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, June l3.-President
Roosevelt was urged in a letter from
Upton Sinclair made public yesterday
to have the Government take over the
sl70,000000 Central Valley water and
power project of California and create
giant cooperative agricultural and
industrial enterprise. Sinclair said the
project could make California's unem-
ployed self-supporting and take them
OF the backs of the taxpayers forever"
The undertaking, he estimated,
would pay off its debt in 20 years.
Sinclair, Democratic nominee for
Governor last year, told the President
California has some half million able
bodied men and women out of work"
Sinclair proposed the Government
buy land already surrendered or sold
for taxes and condemn and take all
land which would be made fertile by
the new irrigation system The Gov
ernment would set up on this land
large-scale farm co-operatives with
modern machinery, provide spinning
mills and factories to handle cattle
and other farm products.

MONTREAL, Quebec, June 13.--
Social work as profession was called
far more dif1cult and complicated
than the profession of teaching" by
Miss Katharine F. Lenroot, chief of
the Children's Bureau of the United
States Department Of Labor and
president of the National Conference
of Social Work, when she addressed
the National Committee on Volunteers
in Social Work meeting here yesterday
in connection with the National Con-
ference of Social Work.
Miss Lenroot said England had set
the example In the development of
public service. The success of the
social work program in the future
largely rests, she said, on the Shoul-
ders Of private social work because
OF its service in maintaining public
support.
She suggested that private groups
and volunteers could do important
work in educating the public to
support efficient methods for selecting
workers to carry on a social service
program.
In Washington. she explained, there
had been a cry from those who have
little appreciation for social work" of
bureaucracy" when professional social
workers fIrthered the program of So
cial service.
