Now that the State Board of Finance
and Control is emocratic-controlled it
really ought to do something about those
charges of fixing wage schedules, ETC.,
which were brought out at the hearing
before the legislative committee on hui
name institutions last week. The commit
tee was listening to complaints of employees
of the State Hospital at Middletown.
From what we could gather of the brief
accounts in the state papers much OF
what the employees charged was true. AT
least trustees of the institution and even
it's superintendent admitted that hours
of work were long and pay perhaps not
adequate. But over such matters they
admitted they had little or no control.
Hours of work and pay were set up by
the Finance and Control Board, which
based them on the Investigations of audi
tors. The democrats ought to rectlty
these conditions as speedily as possible.
Frank A. Goodwin, Registrar of Motor
Vehicles for Massachusetts, is still good
for daily news story. He has. just
suspended the chauffeur of Governor
Theodore F. Green of Rhode Island from
driving in the Bay State. And the reason,
therefore, was recent accident in which
the governor was slightly hurt when his
car struck another. It seems the driver
of the other car reported that the COVER
nor's car was going 100 miles an hour.
Yes, sir, that's right 100 miles an hour.
Now we know that the average person is
not going to be able to estimate 1O0-mile
an hour speed. And if Governor Green
was allowing his chauffeur to drive that
fast he was just as guilty as the operator.
1t seems that frogs out in Angels Camp,
California, are showing their cannibalis-
tic tendencies. The frogs getting ready
for the world championship frog-jumping
contest were suddenly noticed decreasing
in numbers. And when one long-legged
jumper could barely get off the ground he
was suspected of having designs on his
fellow jumpers. And it proved all too
true All bullfrogs are cannibals. That's
why the big uns grow so big.

DISTRICT DROPS
$4,000 FROM
RELIEF LIST
Presidents Work Plan Brings
Salary and Staff Cuts
To Social Workers

Drastic cuts in the number of
those receiving relief from District
funds and in the personnel of the
District Emergency Relief unit
will result from President RooSe-
velt'S work relief program it was
learned from authoritative sources
today.
The District has made available
each month until July /, $780,
666.66 for relief, and this sum will
not be sufficient to carry the 5000
local relief recipients classed as
"unemployables."
To Cut Red Tape
Under the Presidents plan the
red tape surrounding the present
Administration of relief will be cut
to a minimum, with the likelihood
that the need for social workers
throughout the country will dimin-
iSh.
There are at present approx
mately 225 social workers en-
ployed by the District Emergency
Relief and more than 300 office
workers and organization en-
ployes.
The salaries for this unit will
have to come out of the District
relief appropriation, and it is
likely that the staff will be re-
duced by more than half, with
salaries of officials being reduced
on a scale more fitting to the re-
duction in the amount of money
available.
It is likely that a number of
persons now clasSed as unemploy-
able will be removed from the re-
lief rolls when members of their
families are given work under the
Presidents work-relief program.
Still Further Reduced
District officials estimate that
the staff of the local relief unit
probably will be further reduced
when the work program is fully
underway, as there will be no need
for constant review of the circum-
stances of the unemployable group
who will be under District care.
There are now approximately
$4,000 cases of relief in the Dis
trict, and the caseworker load is
100 families to a social worker.
Seventeen thousand of these
cases will be given work relief,
with the probability that certifi-
cation for aid will be on the basis
of employment need instead of the
present basis of relief need. Under
such an arrangement there is little
need for the services of a social
worker.

DISTRICT HEAD.
INDICATED ON
JOB POLICY
Plan Urged BY Commissioner
to Be Used by U. S. in
New Works Program
By EARL GOODWIN

Commissioner George Allen got
a strong boost from President
Roosevelt yesterday, and probably
will not know it until he reads
this afternoons papers.
For President Roosevelt outlined
as one of the details of his new
Work-relief program a plan exactly
parallel to that which George AL.
len was working out when Comp
troller General McCarl knocked it
higher than a kite.
Contractors Are Out
President Roosevelt told the
members of his press conference
that the new nationwide public
work program would be done di-
rectly-that is, the jobs would
not be let through contractors.
That is rough on the contractors,
it has been pointed out, but saves
profit to be applied directly to
the matter in hand, which is to
get pay checks into the hands of
people now getting charity.
That was what Commissioner
Allen was working on. He had a
site or two picked out for a vast
District of Columbia housing plan:
he was going to put hundreds Of
men to work digging foundations,
laying brick, handling saws, ham,
mers and hatchets, doing the
plumbing work, putting on roofs,
plaStering the walls and putting
in the doors and windows.
He was going to put men to
work direct, not through con-
tractors. He had the o. K. Of
Harry Hopkins. Federal relief ad-
ministrator, a circumstance which
indicates strongly that the new
nationwide work relief program
comes in part from that quarter.
Commissioner Allen was one Of
the first supporters of a work
relief program so closely fitting in
with the Presidents that there is
reason to believe the District plan
was going to be used as a sort of
laboratory for a nationwide trial
VI I14S SdIl1c Gll1llS.
He Didn't Answer
Comptroller General McCarl's
objections were based on legal
technicalities which have nothing
to do with the plan now to be
carried out by the Government,
with the President in the lead and
Congress working out the details
in a law yet to be drawn. 1t will
mean, though, that sooner or later
Commissioner Allen will have the
opportunity to put his big army
on relief to work, for the national
plan will be operative in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The President explained that he
hoped to have the whole relief
army, as far as employables go.
working before the end of the
coming fiscal year.
He is not ready to discuss the
organization of the new combined
work and relief organization.
Questions aimed at finding out
where Messrs. IckeS and Hopkins
stand with respect to heading the
new organization were not an
sWered by the President.
The President explained that he
is following the theory, on work
relief, that on a hundred dollar
Job. when $50 is spent in wages,
and $50 more in material and
transportation, that the spending
power of the workers thus COM
pensated, puts at least one more
man to work.
