Plan War on Allen

BATON ROUGE, Ls.. Jan. IT..
CUP)-The Zero hour" for a
citizens uprising against Huey
Longs dictatorship passed quietly
last night.
Secret state police kept heavy
guard about the capitol and exc
cutive mansion and Gov. 0. X. Al
len ignored an ultimatum of the
Square Deal association, giving
him until last night to assemble
the legislature and repeal Longs
oppressive laws.
The presence in the city of nu-
merous legislators was not eX-
planned. There were reports that
the lawmakers had been called to
a secret meeting, but spokesman
denied it.
Ernest Bourgeois, president of
the Square Dealers, ordered his
followers to "bide their time" He
called upon all communities to
form Companies" of Square
Dealers, to be drilled in military
tactics and held in readiness "un-
til the time is right to strike,
which will be very sOon.'
Numerous state legislators ar
rived in the city last night, de-
spite Governor Aliens announce
ment that he would ignore the
citizens demand.
Three legislators at Hammond,
anti-Long hotbed, told friends
that they had been summoned to
a secret meeting of legislators at
the capital last night. G. B. Camp
bell hammond editor, said many
citizens there "were standing by
with guns, awaiting call 10 &C
ton" IL
Governor Allen ignored ultima
tums and warnings of bloodsneo
sent him by Ernest Bourgeois, 20
year-old Square Deal president
The governor was given three al
ternatives: .
/. Assemble the legislature.
2. Resign.
8. Commit suicide.
He said he would do no such
things. :.
The Square Deal movement is
statewide. A dozen communities
have formed companies" to af-
filiate with it. East Feliciana par
ish has enlisted it's "home guard"
in the fight and the men took oath
to arm themselves in the "strug-
gle for freedom"

DEFENSE READY TO

FLEMINGTON, Jan. IT. (UP).
Physicians testimony today in
the HauptmaEn trial revealed that
Baby Lindbergh was instantly
killed by a blow on the read re-
ceived during the actual kidnap+
ing.
The Hauptmann defense coun-
sci today insinuated that the body
found in the Sourland mountain
and identified as that of Charles
Lindbergh, Jr., might be the body
of a child from a nearby orphan
age.
C. Lloyd Fisher. associate coun-
sci, asked Orville Wilson, truck
driver, who was with William Al
len, negro, who discovered the
body, if there was not an orphan-
age near the place, and if he did
not know there were children Of
varying ages in the orphanage.
He admitted there were. The
move came as a surprise, for the
defense had said they would not
question the Lindbergh's identifi;
cation of the baby. The prosecus
ton is preparing to prove bx

baby found was the same as that
of the Lindbergh baby. 4,

pensions, maximum $40 month.
2.-Compulsory contributor an
nuities, minimum SIS a month.
3.-Voluntary old age annui-
ties to be sold by the govern
ment, maximum $50 a month.
All would be applicable on re-
tirement of the worker at the age
of 65 or more years. Non-con-
tributor pensions would meet the
problem of those now old and
without means of support. The
committee said many states could
not assume the financial burden
of pensions without assistance
and, therefore, recommended that
the federal government pay one
half the cost of these pensions
but not more than SIS month
for any individual.
States would be permitted to
establish property and income
limitations upon the pensions sys-
tenn but:
"No aged person otherwise
eligible may be denied a pension
whose property does not exceed
$4,000 in value or whose income
is not larger than is necessary
for a reasonable subsistence conf
patible with decency and health
States may MAINTAIN an age
limit of 70 years to Jan. J, 1910,
thereafter reducing it to 60
years. Federal benefits shall con
stitute a lien on the estate OF
the aged recipient and upon his
death the state shall enforce the
lien and make the refund to the
federal treasury. The committee

RALEIGH, Jan. 17.-(UP)-
Motorists, mad dogs, and state
employees yesterday received at
tention of the General Assembly
as bills concerning them topped
the list of those introduced in
brief afternoon sessions.
After arranging for meeting of
the many newly-formed commit
tees which already have bills be-
fore them. House and senate ad-
Journed until noon today.
Senator Weathers of Wake
sought greater highway safety in
two measures, one of which would
provide a department of highway
safety and institute state drivers
permits. The other would require
semi-annual inspection of auto
mobiles in use on North Carolina
roads. 49,
Inspired by the mad dog scare
throughout the state, a bill was
introduced by Senator Corey of
Pitt to require annual vaccination
of all dogs. Under its provisions,
no dog could remain in North
Carolina more than six months
without anti-rabies treatment.
A pair of bills to raise the pay
of state employees in the lower
salary brackets was introduced in
the house, one by Representative
Douglass of Wake, the other by
Representatives Cooper of New
Hanover, Hatcher Of Burke,
Thompson of Robson, and Gibson
of Scotland. The Douglass meas
ure would increase the pay Of all
employees receiving less than
$1,000 a year by 20 per cent,
while that sponsored by the Coop
err Hatcher Thompson G b S o n
combine would give the same
boost to salaries under 81, 300.
Both bills went to the committee
on salaries and fees.
Two bills in the house relating
to Confederate pensions wee IN
troduced. One, by Representative
Norwood of Stanley, woHld pay
pensions quarterly instead of
semi-annually. The other, Offered
by Representative Ray of Macon,
would add widows who married
Confederate veterans before or
during the War Between the
States to the pension rolls. They
were referred to the pensions COM
mittee. .
A bill requiring fire insurance
operating in the state
to nav full amount of policies in
case of total loss by fire was m
troduced by Representative Kelly
of Scotland. 1t was turned over
to the insurance committee.
Many local bills were introduc-
ed in both houses. One OF Ihese.
by Representative Bowie OF
Ashe, would allow Ashe county to
refund a 81, 100000 highway bond
issue with new bonds and TO dis
tribute taxes so the new issue
might be met. The bill sets forth
that half of the homes in the
county have already been sold for
taxes and foreclosures on many
others are imminent. The measure
was sent to judiciary committee
No. |.
Two members of the house,
Representatives Warren of Cas-
well and Brown of Perquimans,

Recommendations OF Committee
On Economic Security Revealed
BY FREDERICK STORM
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-(UP). President Roose-
vets Committee Economic Security today recommend
ed system of unemployment compensation old age
curity and aid for children which provided:
l. Maximum unemployment compensation of $500
week
2. Three categores of old age pension ranging from
90 to $4,000 month.
States would administer unemployment compensation.
The committee recommended that the unemployment
compensation be inaugurated by immediate congressional
enactment of:
l. uniform payroll tax employers to whom the
act would be applicable. ..,...-
g. Legislation creating machinery for federal partici
patton in administration of unemployment compensation
States would administer the compensation system as
sisted by the federal government. -. .. ......
RECOMMEND TAX BE

The committee recommended three per cent payroll
tax to be effective JAM 1885, but said states could as
against employers alone against EMPLOYERS and

employees WIN OF without cOnCrl-
buttons from the state. If gen
eral economic recovery in the first
two years beginning next January
is not satisfactory, the commit
tee suggested a lower tax rate but
said it should attain three per
cent by 1898.
Employers who had employed
four or more persons during any
13-week period of the taxable
year would be liable to the as
sessment. The committee opposed
exemptions for any specified in.
dustries but recommended a sepa,
rate nationally administer system
of unemployment compensation
for railroad and maritime work,
ers. Employers who paid unem'
ployment compensation contribu.
tons to state authorities under
state law would be given credit
against the federal tax up to sc
per cent.
On the basis of three per cent
contributions, the committee be.
lieved the maximum benefit period
could not exceed Is weeks and
should be reduced to Is. 1t said
workers long employed without
drawing compensation must be
given an additional week for each
six months of employment during
which they had not received bene-
fits. The committee recommended
a waiting period of four weeks
before between loss of a job and
first payment of compensation
benefits.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WOULD HAVE FUNDS
The federal government would
receive and invest all social in
surance funds. A social insur-
ance board would be created with
in the labor department to admin
lister the federal unemployment
compensation act and part of the
old age security system.
To supplement the latter, the
committee proposed that the gov
eminent sell to persons with an
nual incomes of $4,000 or less de-
ferred life annuities on a cost
basis. These would guarantee the
purchaser a definite lifetime in
come, probably beginning at the
age Ct 65 years.
The unemployment compensa-
ton plan recommended that after
the worker exhausted his cash
benefits, he be certified to the au-
thorities in charge of the federal
work program as entitled to work
benefits.
The entire unemployment COM
pensation structure is founded on
an employment assurance" pro-
gram to coordinate resources of
all public bodies in a program 1T
practical advance planning. The
committee recommended estab-
lishment of a permanent national
planning board. The objective
would be stimulation of private
employment and provision of pub.
lie employment for all able-bodled
workers whom industry cannot
employ at any given time.
