Makes Strong Plea

Washington. - The senate

the Patman inflationary bonus bill
by refusing to pass the legislation

the Patman bill s. to 80. The

but opened the way for a new
drive for similar legislation. Cash
bonus forces were ready to offer ar
alternate proposal as a rider" te
the pending naval appropriation
bill.
President Roosevelt was having :
meeting of the allotment boafe
when the veto came. He was no

comment.
The vote came after the senate
had listened to widely conflicting
claims ranging from an assertion
the legislation may "lead to ruin
to another that it would be "gooc
business" to pay off the obligation
|now.
AS Patman bonus bill supporter:

ride President Roosevelt's veto was
lost, barring last minute changes:
Senator Borah (R-Ida.) urged the
senate to pass the $2,2oo,oo0.oo
inflationary measure.

no apology" he said, "for the be-
lief that the country needs a larger
volume of money, a larger volume
of currency. For that reason l BE-

Conferees Nearing
Agreement on Home
Mortgage Extension
Ready To Act On Bill
Adding $780, 900 To
Lending Resources
To Hole

Congressional conferees were
virtually agreed on an extension
of home mortgage relief to $4,000
new applicants in addition to
about 100000 urban home owners
who have already applied for
Government aid.
After a months delay, the con-
ferees were ready to act on the
Steagall-F Fletcher bill adding ST.
100000 to the lending re-
sources of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation. Leaders expect the
two houses to take final action
this week.
Several controversial points re-
manned to be settled, altho House
conferees indicated a willingness
to yield on the most disputed pro-
vision-that relating to new ap-
plications.
The Senate bill provided for &C
ceptance of new applications for a
6O-day period with no restric-
lions. The House bill required
that home owners must have in
Dictated an intention of seeking
aid before passage of the new
measure. Some of the conferees
were said to favor cutting the
period to 50 days and eliminating
the House restriction, which they
called a subterfuge to disqualify
uniformed applicants.
The additional $1,750,00O,00
on which both houses are agreed,
will increase HOLC resources to
$4,750,o0o,0o0. When it is all
disbursed, the Government will
hold more than one-fourth Of the
nations entire urban home mort

Officials do not anticipate a
great flood Of new application:

mortgage money has become more
plentiful and the effect of new

lions is being felt.

Poverty Not Cause
!. OF Large Families
Scientists Contend
, nth Rate Declined In
Relief Groups During
Depression Altho 1t
Is Still Highest

Poverty is not a cause of large
families, but has the opposite effect
of reducing the birth rate. The
popular misconception that power
ty is the reason why relief families
have a higher birth rate than those
not on relief was thus blown up by
a report Of Drs. Frank w. Notes.
TEN and Clyde v. Kiser, of the
Milbank Memorial Fund, speaking
before the Population Association
of America.
Surveys made by the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service and the Milbank
Memorial Fund reveal the birth
rate is much higher among those on
relief but that does not mean the
birth rate of this group rose during
the depression. On the contrary,
it fell as did the birth rate Of all
other groups.
Birth control methods are only
one factor tending to reduce the
live birth rates, especially among
the better classes. Another factor
is abortion, including unavoidable
miscarriages. Ont abortion to every
two and a half confnements in
cities, and one to five confnements
in country districts is the startling
estimate cited by Drs. Noteste;n
and Kiser.
A survey of 10000 clinic pat
tents in New York showed Is pei
cent of the pregnancies were term
mated by criminal abortion during
the first five years of marriage
After 10 years of married life, tn
abortion rate had increased to NOR
than 40 per cent.
Differences in birth contro
practices are held responsible, by
these scientists, as more important
than any other factor in making
the fertility greater for the lower
social groups.
Removal of legal and other bar
iriers to the dissemination of birth
control knowledge would result in a
lessening of these differences, they
said. 1t would, however, be in the
direction of a further reduction Of
the birth rate. Most effective in
tending to raise the birth rate of
the better classes would be a great
er degree of economic and social
security, they concluded.
