FUNDS REQUESTED
FOR GIANT INDEX
Census Bureau Plans to
Compile Data to Aid
Pension Work.

Preparing TO compile the worlds
largest directory of names, an alpha
betical index, by geographic units and
families. Of ali the 75,e94,575 tndi-
viduals in the United States returned
in the census OF 1900. the Bureau Of
the Census yesterday applied for
special allotment of wOrk-relief funds.
The data TO be compiled would
comprise an authentic record for use
In connection With State old-age pen
sion laws now in effect and Federal
old-age pension legislation now be-
fore Congress Headquarters for this
special census is proposed 10 be estab
lished at ST. Louis, and 81 ,8049 was
requested OF the Division of Applica-
tions and Information.
Need Declared Imperative.
The need fer information concern
ing the ages of individuals eligible
for pensions is imperative, the bureau
stated, due tc the demands being
made for information from every sec
ton. The work has doubled in the
past two years and if the trend con-
tinues. the census schedules soon will
be worn out as a result of constant
handling.
1t is estimated the economic Sc
curity act would result in the Census
Bureau being called upon to furnish
evidence of age for at least 35o, 900
individuals and perhaps as many as
100000 applicants for old-age pen
Sions during the first year of opera
ton. There probably will be 100000
additional requests for each of the
next flye or ten years. II would be
impossible for the bureau to conduct
this huge volume OF searches from
the original schedules. it was said.
and the attempt to do so would
quickly destroy them.
System Would Reduce Cost
The 1909 schedules, it was said.
are clearly the most desirable to have
indexed. since they alone give the
month and year of birth. as well rs
age. The Census Bureau wants the
information indexed alphabetically by
families TO facilitate searches.
BY the use of such a card index
system the cost per search would be
reduced 20 approximately 81, as
against So, the actual cost 70 the
bureau at present.
The Co-oroinating Committee of
the Central Sta tistical Board stated
that the project satisfactorily meets
the scientific and administrative re-
quirements of acceptable statistical
survey and research practice.

HOUSING PROGRAM
SETBACK |SFEARED
Call for Cleveland Bids Re-
news DissenSion Among
Chiefs.
By the Associated Press.

L
Dissension among work relief chit
tains was renewed yesterday in con-
tentions of P. w. A. oficials that
Harry L. Hopkins labor regulations
would threaten damage to Secretary
Ickes' low cost housing program and
possibly court labor troubles.
The occasion was on invitation for
bids on the sS,0s4, 900 Cultivate de-
yelopment at Cleveland, the first TO
be built under Hopkins rules. Bids
will be opened on August IL, with one
year allowed for construction Of the
SS5-family project.
Ickes, who recently formally denied
any differences with Hopkins declined
comment. But his aides raised objec-
lions particularly TO the bid require
ment that 90 per cent of those en-
ployed be taken from relief rolls.
This type of labor, they contended,
will be less efficient and result In
higher bids that will force a boost in
rents, They also predicted labor
troubles would result from the fact
that building trades members who
have stayed off relief will not be eli
gible for jobs. Wages prevailing in
Cleveland will be paid on the project.
Amid widespread labor criticisms of
the $l9 to S94 a month wage scale
fixed by Hopkins on projects to be
carried out by his works progress ad-
ministration. Secretary Perkins re-
Gently assured building trades leaders
that the schedule would not apply to
projects carried out under contract,
P. w. A. officials said, however, that
the 90 per cent relief percentage ap-
parently had been overlooked in these
discussions.
Funds for the Cleveland project
come from the old P. w. A., but as
one of the first to be carried out
under new contract regulations, it
was noted the Government will supply
cement and lighting fixtures, to be
forwarded the contractor as required,

BANKS GAIN SEEN
IN SILVER POLICY
Senators Ask Sterilization.
Thomas Says Profit Made
With Advance Facts.
By the Associated Press.

by the ASSOClaLed fTeSS.
Contending banks were using the
Treasurys silver buying machinery
for their own profit, Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Oklahoma. said yester-
day that President Roosevelt will be
served Immediately with a request
backed by 40 Senators for early sta
bilization of gold and silver
The 40 Senators, including members
from all but about dozen States, ap-
pended their names to a letter ad-
dressed by Thomas to the President
requesting adherence to the monetary
policy adopted by the last Congress.
Under terms of that. this Government
was pledged TO continue buying silver
until either one quarter of the Nations
monetary metal was silver or until
the price of that metal had reached
S1.29 an ounce.
Previous knowledge Alleged.
Commenting on the recent drop in
the price of silver from a high of 81
cents TO about SO cents. Thomas con-
tended the banks, with forehanded
knowledge of when the Treasury was
to buy or sell silver, were able TO
profit either on the upturn or the
drop.
The Oklahoman emphasized he did
not accuse either Secretary Morgen-
thau or the banks with "duplicity,"
but insisted banks will be banks"
when an opportunity for profit Is
offered.
Thomas said If purchasing is pressed
the $l.29 price would be reached long
before the United States had reached
its prescribed quota of $1,000 900 900
of monetary silver.
ANY Price Held Possible.
The United States is able 10 Ak
the price of silver at any point de-
sirable," Thomas said in an inter-
view.
Thus armed with control of the
silver price and with a large voice in
determining the price of gold, Thomas
said. the United States should enter
an international conference for sta
bilization of gold and silver in BIZ
metallic currency system.
He made no suggestion Of time
for calling such a conference, but de-
clared the United States should lead
out by forcing the price of silver and
gold TO be determined on the basis Of
the relative production of the two
metals. This, he said, would be at is
to l or less.

To the Editor Of The star:

10 Inc kdltof OF Inc DtAr'
A few days ago Mr.. Lawrence de-
voted his eolurAn to discussion OF q
Roosevelt dictatorship he sees form
ing. the evidence of which he finds in
"the insistent demand by the execu-
tive branch Of the Government that
the legislative branch, which it domi-
mates and controls, shall join it in =
direct assault on the Judiciary" He
writes In the light OF the administra-
tion's proposals to deprive American
citizens of their right to MAINTAIN suits
% for the recovery OF damages upon
the Governments reputation of inter
est or principal on Government bonds
and 90 for the recovery Of the proc
essing taxes.
The central idea is that the Presi-
dent Is coercing Congress into repeal
ing the citizens right TO sue the Gov
ernment for damage growing out of
unlawful acts by Government agen-
cies. That the Government cannot be
sued without the consent Of Congress
is a sound legal proposition that does
not tell the whole story. One Of the
charges leveled by our Declaration of
independence at the British King was
that "he has OhStructed the admins
tration by refusing his assent to laws
for establishing judiciary powers"
Justice Desired in 1876.
The preamble OF the Constitution
recites that one OF the prime purposes
of establishing our Government was
TO establish justice" The Constitu-
ton expressly forbids the Government
to deprive a citizen Of his life. liberty
or property without due process of
law and otherwise assumes TO protect
him in his fundamental rights. 1t
would seem that any steps taken by
any branch of our Government toward
denying to q citizen justice under law
is an act tending TO li-destruction.
For years Congress itself undertook
TO legislate damages to an injured cit
izen. In 1851 President Lincoln rec
commended the establishment of
Court Of Claims as a court in q strict
ly legal Snse. saying:
1t is as much the duty Of govern
ment TO render prompt justice against
itself in favor of its citizens as it is
to administer the same between pri-
vate individuals The investigation
and ADJUDICATION Of claims in their ma
ture belong to the judicial depart
ment"
Secretarial Powers Rejected.
In 1853. Congress undertook TO con-
fer judicial power upon the court,
empowering it TO render final judg-
ment with right Of appeal TO the
Supreme Court. but the same act also
provided that the judgments were not

preme Court held that the section

implied authority TO review the judg-
ments of the court destroyed the
judicial power attempted TO be con-
ferred.
In 1866. Congress repealed this in
consistent section. From then till
now the Supreme Court has always
held 10 that the Court OF Claims ex-
ercises judicial power and has all the
functions Of a court, ~ that it is be-
yond the power of Congress to pre-
scribe rules OF decision in cases pend
