The President will person.
ally direct expenditure of the
huge sum which many expect
will remove 100000 to
100000 persons from relief
rolls. Thus he will carry out
his pledge to substitute pay
checks for the dole.
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected soon 70
announce personnel of the organi-
zation to handle the victory drive"
against the depression and to sound
the keynote of the New Deals
mightiest campaign for recovery.
Relief directors, who for weeks
have been scrapping the bottom Of
their Golfers to provide day-to-day
relief, waited impatiently to begin
the New Deal" in providing sus-
tenance for approximately 20,500,00
persons now on Federal relief rolls.

Relief Administrator Harry Hop.
kins said $4,000, 100000 would be
sufficient to put 8 100000 persons on
public work in one year. 1t has
been estimated another $500 900
persons would be absorbed in pri-
vate industry as the result OF the
Federal expenditures.
Should that spark of activity
catch and spread-and the theory
of the Administration is that it
will-other thousands and perhaps
millions could be placed back in
gainful employ.
The estimate Of 20,5O0000 on re.
lief rolls includes women and chill
dren, dependents of men who are
out of work. President William
Green of the American Federation
of Labor easimated unemployed to-
day at approximately 100000.
If the Administrations hopes are
realized that number would be re-
duced by more than two-thirds in
the next year.

The protracted fight ever the bill
in Congress ended with agreement
on the conference report worked out
by Representatives of the House
and Senate. But Congress did not
let the bill go without another
demonstration of its uncertain and
confused mood.
After the House had adopted the
conference report, SIT to 20, it was
carried by messenger to the Senate.
Vice President John N. Garner,
who had been keeping an eye on the
swinging doors leading to the House
corridors, swung into action in that
free and easy Texas style which has
never ceased to fascinate and amuse
the august Senate.
When Chairman Carter Glass OF
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee asked for adoption of the
report Mr.. Garner zestfully gaveled
it through and announced proudly
that the report had been approved.
Forced to Rescind Action
In the ensuing hub-bub Mr..
Garner was forced to rescind that
action. 1t was not until two hours
later and after two more abortive
efforts to have the report approved,
that the Senate, moving in its own
deliberative style, finally accepted
the report by vote of 66 to Is and
made the resolution ready for the
Presidents signature.
I'VE can put three and a half
million men to work for S4,000,O00,-
900. starting whenever they want"
Mr.. Hopkins said.
This would mean the expenditure
Of $10,950,000 day or $456,621 ev-
cry hour during the year.
1t was learned that the FERA al
ready, through a slow and gradual
process, has put 100000 persons on

EVERE QUAKES SHAKE EASTERN STATES
PANIC STRIKES
MILLIONS BUT
NO LIVES LOST

NEW YORK, Nov. l. U.P)-The
earth shook beneath II states and
all of eastern Canada early today
routing thousands from their beds i'm
panic but causing little damage.
All cities of eastern America
where upward of 100000 humans
live in close proximity-New York,
Chicago Boston, Toronto Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh, Washington,
Montreal-felt three or four distinct
shocks that caused their great build
ings to sway and windows to rattle
Hundreds of newspaper offices and
police headquarters were flooded
with inquiries and for a few min
uteS a major disaster seemed in the
making
But complete reports showed that
in all the vast area extending south
from the Canadian provinces of
Quebec, Ontario and New Bruins
wick to Washington. and eastward
from the Atlantic seaboard to Chi
cago and Detroit, an area with a
population Of approximately 100000
600, not life had been lost nor had
there been more than the most minor
damage.
Seismographs recorded four dis
t1nct temblors, the first at loss a.
m. (EST), the second at l.O6.4. the
third at LOT, and the fourth a frac-
ton of a second later. But some
communities felt only one. some
TWO. In eastern Canada the quakes
were accompanied by an ominous
roar, but elsewhere this phenomenon
was not reported.

The quakes were felt through all
1he Canadian Maritime provinces
and New York, Massachusetts,. Con-

of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan.

isolated cross road Villages. House
holders ran into the streets in night
clothing. Window panes ratified and
some collapsed, furniture slid across
floors, pictures fell from walls
Scientists quickly announced there
was nothing to fear. Some said the
quakes were due to a disturbance
along the Logan geologic fault eX-
tending south from the Saint Law
renee to Alabama. Others said that
in all probability great rock mass
on the bed of the Atlantic some 300
miles off the New England coast
had collapsed. But all agreed that
the temblors were isolated and not
likely to be followed by more.
