WASHINGTON, Dec. "a ma
tion-wide survey today emphasized
the probability Of a second large
Federal work relief program in the
1861 fiscal year.
With the New Deals current
$4,000, 100000 anti-depression drive
at its peak, estimates were for eX-
penditure Of between 000,000,00O
and s2.0OOO00000 to meet the needs
of the nations jobless for y months
after next July /.
AS the government cut off di-
rect relief funds to states this week
end. a United Press survey through
out the country also showed that:
/ Many political subdivisions
contend they are without funds to
provide for unemployables.
2. Some 100000 needy, classed as
"unemployableS," have been forced
on to state, county and local care,
3 The S40OO,000O00 work relief
program promises to change the
face Of the country with projects
ranging from draining malarial
swamps in Alabama to connecting
She Gulf Of Mexico with the At
lantic ocean by planning canal
across Florida.
No Private Aid Seen
But perhaps most important in
the future work relief outlook was
the agreement of relief experts that
most OF the 100000 now listed on
government pay rolls would not be
returned to private industry by next
July, when the present program ex-
pires.
The climax of the relief program
developed from a series of dramatic
events starting last January when
the New Deal faced a decision of
vast Importance to the nation.
Twenty and one-half million per-
SOllS-One-SlXCnO or the population or

The government was spending

needs.

to make jobs.
Had to Make Decision
The President had to decide
whether to continue the expensive
dole or revert to the year-old Civil
Works Administration that made
jobs for 100000 persons for four
months at cost Of $1,000000 or
launch a huge work relief program
to end direct relief by financing jobs
for year for all able-bodied family
bread winners out of work.

PUBLIC HEALTH.
SURVEY OKEHED
$500 to Be Taken Off
Relief Rolls To
Handle Job

WASHINGTON, July 80. Up
President Roosevelt Tuesday allot-
ted $3.50, 900 Of work relief funds
TO the public health service for a
survey Of chronic diseases.
Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum
ming estimated that the three-foid
study would give a years employ
ment to $500 white collar people
now on relief rolls. His statement
said 1t would include:
l. A house to house canvass in
selected urban and rural commun-
tiles to determine the prevalence OF
long-Standing illnesses among the
rich, the poor and middle class
families.
2. Physical examinations in a
small number Of instances to check
the accuracy Of the canvass re-
ports.
3. A survey OF medical facilities,
particularly for chronic diseases.
AT the same time, Harry l.. Hop
kins, works progress administrator,
announced that adult education
classes-designed to provide work
for needy teachers as well as an
opportunity for Self-improvement to
grownups - would be continued
under the work relief program
Twelve hundred teachers are t.
attend summer schools in prepar-
alton for class to be resumed in
the fall and Hopkins estimated
that 100000 adults-not neces-
Sarily from relief rolls-would take
advantage Of the academic and vo-
cational training.
Because Of our experience dur
ing the past year and a half" the
education program should be better
fitted than ever to provide the
types OF service urgently needed to
help people improve themselves SO
as TO be able TO regain their place
in society as Self-sustaining citi-
zens," Hopkins said in a statement
by the works programs press agents.
He added that at a cost OF S2l,-
014,220 during the past two school
years, work had been provided a.
900 needy teachers who instructed
100000 adults and 10000 kinder
garten-age children Of destitute

reduction in light and power rates
Is contemplated by him and the
honorable city council, including
the Honorable Mr.. RoSenthal.
And / note that he says that the
proposed reduction Of rates will
result in a $4,000 a year saving to
the people Of the City; that part
OF IL we especially like.
But there are a few questions he
did not explain which ! ask him 70
do:
lst. Has the present rate been
in the past two or four years pro-
oucing $4,000 surplus. or does he
expect some of those big boys who
have not been paying, to pay up
ana relieve the people o. that much
Of the obligation2
And. II there has beer n $4,000
surplus say for the last three years.
why did you not apply that $4,000
n the repairs Of the damages done
by the storm to city property. In
place OF waiting two years and
tnen making a loan.
We remember that two years ago
there were rumors in Brownsville
that there was going to be a ticket
run against your administration.
you published in the Herald then
that YOU and the honorable COM
niSsioners were going to reduce
the light rates TO help out the cit
liens OF Brownsville. There was no
ticket against you and your admin
istration then, and your promise 70
lower said light rates was entirely
forgotten or overlooked by you; do
you remember2
Well, you now promise 70 make
q reduction and we like 1t ana think
II Just, and we are going TO elect
a new mayor and city council and
hope you win like 1t and think 1t
Just.

Bill
GOES TO F. D..
FORAPPROVAL
Defense Depots Will
Be Scattered Over
U.S.; PWA Is Due
To Furnish Funds

WASHINGTON, July 80. -tR-
Frankly elated at passage OF the
Wilcox air base bill. h~igh-ranking
Army Air Corps officers Tuesday
turned their eyes toward maps to
determine where 10 build six new
air bases authorized by the masure.
Under the bill, which is awaiting
presidential approval, the depots
thFould be established at key points
six specified defense areas at a
= st Of s12O,0OO,OOO.
Funds Up TO PwA
Inasmuch as the bill simply
authorizes. instead OF approprlates,
the funds, progress will depend
upon the financial backing Of the
Public Works allotment board. But
in the opinion of Rep. Wilcox Cd
Fla), author of the measure, funds
will be made available this year for
at least n or two" bases.
Reports from an authoritative
source indicate that Alaska will be
chosen first. II was said that the
need for an extreme northern Air
Corps outpost. and a desire to ex-
pertinent with cold weather flying,
are contributing factors. Fairbanks
is heading the field as the mosG
probable site.
The second area probably will be
nat incl \ ing the Pacific north
west. Portland and Seattle will vie
for the honorS. Several cities are
seeking the base planned for the
Rocky Mountain area. Denver would
like and so would Salt Lake City,
Pocatello, Idaho and Albuquerque.
~. M, with the Rocky Mountain
base serving largely in a secondary
defense role as a munition and
supply depot for the west coast, a
similar base is planned to assist
operations along the Atlantic.
Situated somewhere In the south
eastern states the field probably
will be constructed, according TO
on eauthority, in western North
Carolina, western South Carolina
or In northern Georgia.
- Florida May Get One
Air Corps officials have not yet
narrowed down TO their choice in
New England. The present East
Boston airport Is favored by some.
II Rep. Wilcox has a word in
choosing the southeastern and
Caribbean air base, IL Will be at
Miami, Fla. not just because that
city lies within his own congress
sional district. he says. but because
IL is ideally situated for setting up
a primary defense OF the Panama
Canal. the coal and iron mines Of
Alabama and the Texas oil fields.
Chapman Field at Miami. though
undeveloped. was purchased during
the World War for just this pur-
pose. Wilcox says, and II used as
an sir base would permit the United
States TO maintain aerial supre-
macy over the Caribbean sea

fields. officers plan to establish

their locations will not be deter
