Senator johnson of California, who

johnson and Borah have frequently
been at odds. but he might prefer TO
support the Borah candidacy against
that of Hoover in the State contest for
delegates to the Republican National
Convention. On the other hand,
should Borah be the nominee, there
is the possibility that Johnson might
still remain loyal to his choice Of
1882, President Roosevelt, and give
him his support in the national cam
paign.
Discussing economic conditions In
the country, the California Senator
declared conditions in this country
had improved so greatly that year

ever had a depression" The improve

johnson were interpreted in some
quarters as meaning that he was
largely satisfied with the Roosevelt
New Deal.
Smell Girds for Battle.
Representative Smell of New York,
Republican leader Of the House, re-
turned to Washington, ready to fight
the Roosevelt New Dealers all along
the line. He expressed the view that
a great uprising of sentiment against
the Roosevelt administration is de-
veloping throughout the country.
While Smell refused to talk about
presidential candidates. or to predict
what New York Republicans. would do
In the coming national convention, he
insisted that there was every reason to
believe the G. o. p would recapture
the House in the 1886 elections.
"It is perfectly possible" said Smell.

LINCOLN. Nebr, December al
Authentic data on the antiquity of man
in America may be uncovered in
Northwestern Nebraska. DR.. A. L. Lugn,
University of Nebraska geologist, as
serted today.
He said he and other university ex-
plorers believed the "Pleistocene lake
in the White River Valley" discovered
last Summer, will prove the most i'm
portant source yet uncovered for in
formation on inhabitants of the world
$4,000 to $4,000 years ago.
Should the lake produce suficient
actual bones of Pleistocene man to give
clue to his appearance. it would
be the first such discovery IN this coun-
try, DR.. Lugn said.
First analysis Of the find to the
scientific world will be made at the

American Committee to Aid
in Settlement of "PaIeS-

Nv the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 2l.-A non
sectarian group of prominent Amerl-
cans opened campaign this week 10
aid in the settlement of non-Russian
Jewish families in Birobidjan, the
palestine of Siberia
The goal of the group-known as
the American Committee for the
settlement of Jews in Birobidjan-is
the establishment of l 900 Jewish fam
lilies from Rumania. Poland and other
central European countries in the new
colony during 1886.
Former Representative William W..
Cohen. a New York stock broker, Is
chairman of the committee. Other
members include Oswald Garrison VIII
lard and Henry Goddard Leach, the
editors: DR.. Sherwood Eddy, Gov
James M. Curley of Massachusetts, DR..
Harry Elmer Barnes, DR.. John Haynes
Holmes. Haywood Broun and w. G..
Dickermap. president of the American
Locomotive Co.
Liberal Charter Granted.
Cohen this week pubncised the de-
tails of the committees agreement with
the Soviet Union which he character
lied as the most liberal charter ever
given to any group by any govern
ment."
The settlers will be met the nearest
point on the Soviet frontier by repre-
sentatives of Komset, the government
agency in charge of the settlement.
The families will be provided with
TRANSPORTATION to Birobidjan, where
farmers will become members of col
lective farms and craftsmen Will be
given employment in the various in
dustrial enterprises.
All settlers will receive at once full
citizenship in the Soviet Union and
the government will receive payment
of 5000 for each family established in
the colony, to help share the cost OF
transportation.
The American committee will have
q representative in Russia to assist IN
the settlement.
Rich in Natural Resources.
Located in Siberia in the Amur River
area, Birobidjan is about twice the
size of New Jersey. The climate and
general conditions are similar to those
of southern Canada. The area pos
sesses large deposits of coal, iron ore,
graphite marble and gold. The chief
crops are wheat, oats, soya beans and
potatoes. The forests are rich in fur
bearing animals, and rivers filled with
fish.
The committee, however, has not
painted any rosy scene of Brobidjan
It emphasizes that settlers will meet
the usual hardships of pioneers. The
general locality, however, is being
steadily developed into one of the
major dustrial-agricultural areas OF
the U. S. S. R.
Birobidjan was created as an auton-
omous territory last December. Yid-
dish is the official language. When
the population reaches $4,000 the ter
ritory will become a Jewish republic
as a unit of the U. S. S. r.
The development of Birobidjan is
another phase in the Soviet govern
ment's program of preserving the cul-
ture of all its nationalities, of which
there are more than 180, speaking lac
languages.

% Years for Good

Although much OF the charity
work" previously done by private or
carnations Is now financed by fed
eral government appropriations, the
old.fashioned Community Chest re-
mains the backbone Of local efforts
to help the unfortunate: and it is
worth noticing that March is the
22ud anniversary Of the formation Of
the first organization Of that kind
In America.
This took place in Cleveland, o..
when the Federation for Charity and
Philanthropy-later to be known as
the Community Fund-was founded
In 1913. The idea proved to be such
q good ono that it was widely copied.
Today there are 4l4 Community
Chests In as many American cities.
The Community Chest has led to
greater efficiency and better service
In community social work. The an
niversary Of its inception is worth
more than . passing glance in COM
memoration.
