NAZT PURGE GOES ON

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 16.-The con-

ments as follows on the secret ex-
termination and Imprisonment of
"rebellious" elements in the German
armed forces and the Nazi Party:
THAT which was done on June 80
suddenly and ostentatiously is now
being done surreptitiously. Every
day numbers of members (of the
Nazi Party are thrown into prison.
The victims amount to at least a
thousand. One can understand only
too we'll the indignation that all
this is arousing among the old and
faithful members of the party"

sity of proceeding in manner that
will merit the enthusiastic support
of citizens of all sorts"
In outlining his recommendation
for this broad system" he called
u n en- pl yment compensation,
Roosevelt concluded:
Payroll Tax
With respect to unemployment
compensation, I have concluded
that the most practical proposal is
the levy of a uniform Federal pay
roll tax, ninety per cent of which
should be allowed as an offset to
employers contributing under
compulsory State unemployment
compensation act. The purpose of
this is to afford a requirement of
reasonably uniform character for
all States cooperating with the Fed
eral government, and to promote
and encourage the passage of I'M
employment compensation laws in
the States. The ten per cent not
thus offset should be used to cover
the costs of Federal and State adj
ministration of this broad sys-
tenn.
Roosevelt also recommended
"non-contributory old age pensions
for those who are now too old to
build up their own insurance" and
compulsory contributory annuities
which in time will establish self
supporting system for those now
young and for future generations.
However, q gance at the Wagner
Lewis bill reveals how meager is
the proposed provision for old age
pensions.
Roosevelt ended his special mes
sage with the declaration that the
New Deal refusal of economic secur-
ity for the broad mass of the people
is a plan for economic security
which is "at once a measure of pre-
vention" against "the dangers of
future depressions" and a method
of alienation"
AS far as action is concerned,
however, the Roosevelt conception
of the more abundant life was
revealed again today, for the hun
drsdth time, as a bankers abun-
dance.

Free Transportation
Won By Relief Workers

CARLSBORG, Wash, Jan. IT.
Free transportation to all East End
District relief jobs, was granted by
the Relief Board here, when the
workers on the projects gave full
support to a petition circulated by
the Communist Party.
Many of the workers have had to
walk as far as five miles to reach
the relief job and were ready to
take action under the leadership of
the Communist Party to enforce
their demands.
The victory has resulted in a ire
mendouS increase in the organiza-
tional activity among the unern-
ployed workers in the East End
