Governor Olson has taken the ini-
tiative in setting up a statewide pro-
gram for unemployed youth. This
program will cooperate with the ma
tiOnal program of President ROose-
velt's, whereby in excess of 100000
unemployed youth will be sent to
school or put to work at certain pro-
jects at government expense. 10000
Minnesota youths will be effected.
The Minnesota plan is in reality a
continuation of the first Minnesota
plan formulated by Governor Olson
three years ago, and which was
adopted by the federal government
and is today sending over more than
100000 boys and girls to colleges and
universities, $500 of whom attended
colleges and universities in this state.
The new plan will aid not only
college students but boys and girls
still in high school and others unem-
ployed. Every youth in the state of
Minnesota between the ages of 16 and
25 who is unemployed and in need will
be eligible for this new service.
Unlike other programs the present
plan of Governor Olson's does not in
clude moving the boys and girls from
their home to camps or colleges. They
may remain in their home town and
continue or complete their high school
training or they may go to work, in
their home town, learning habits of
industry, or trade, at government
expense. The maximum amount of
money allowed to any one youth will
be $40 month. The average will be
about SIS.
Boys and girls will work a maxi
mum of thirty hours a week. Part of
this time, however, will include hours

BY A. l. HARRIS

Representative of thirty benevO-
lent insurance societies of Minnesota.
at a meeting at the State Office build
ing last week, voted to adopt code OF
ethics. Provisions of the code will be
suggested after study by committee
of nine members of a new state aSsOcl-
alton which was formed and will be
submitted for ratification at a later
meeting. The action was taken at the
suggestion of Commissioner Frank
Yetka of the state insurance depart
ment. He said that such move is re-
Quired to assure the conservation OF
assets of the 80 societies operating in
the state for the benefit of certificate
holders.
The 1888 law is too weak and since
efforts to amend it at the last session
of the Legislature failed, voluntary
action is necessary, Commissioner
Yetka said. Levying of assessments
against all members. instead of those
within specified age limits known as
units, to build a surplus, was prin-
cipal recommendation made. Others
were the limitation of expenses AND
a closer check of the physical history
of applicants for benefit certificates
The 80 societies have a total of APP
proximately 10000 certificate holder
in Minnesota.

men are again attempting to sell
whiskey warehouse receipts to the
public of Minnesota under circum-
stances that will ultimately result in
substantial loss to such purchasers.
Because of ruling that the sale of
such receipts is in effect a sale IF a
commodity, Commissioner Skahen is
pOwerless to prevent the sale and dis
tributiOn of such warehouse receipts.
Mr.. Skahen, however, would welcome
any inquiry concerning the proposed
sale of whiskey warehouse receipts
and suggests that before purchasing
such receipts thorough investigation
be made either through his depart
ment or local banks or licensed deal
ers concerning the reputation and
standing of the distillery whose GER
titicate is sought to be sold, and the
particular brand of whiskey covered
by the certificate.
The drivers license principle re-
ceived a splendid endorsement from
police officials of the state when the
annual convention of the Minnesota
Police and Peace Officers Association
unanimously urged that the state law
be strengthened to provide an annual
renewal of the license. At present
no renewal is required. Police and
sheriff forces have come to appreciate
the value of licensing drivers because
it gives them a means of checking
traffic crimes, and also because the
individual license is extremely useful
in making identifications. Much OF
this value is lost when renewal OF
the license is not required at reason.

The state banking department es-
tablished a record last week in bank
liquidation. Six months after the
Farmers State Bank of Bonsgard was
taken over by the liquidation division,
the department succeeded in pay ing
the depositors of this institution 100
per cent in dividends. This was ac-
cOmplished even after the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation through it's
Liquidation Board refused to partici-
pate in any plan to make possible a
1000 payment and after the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation refused
to participate in plan to make such
action possible The closing Of this
institution was only accomplished after
the stockholders themselves decided
that the future for a bank in that
vicinity did not look bright, and they
had no desire to continue in the bank
ing business.

GOOD NEWS To
MRS. VALLEY

TACOMA, Wash, July IL
NI.N.SO.-Facing 20 years impris-
onment for her part in the $780,
600 Weyerhaeuser kidnapping, Mrs.
Margaret E. VALLEY, 10, Of Salt
Lake City, today asked jailors
questions about her new home"
the Federal detention farm at
Milan, Mich, to which she awaits
removal. She asked:
els It just a farm?"
''NO, it's a regular prison,
with cells and high walls. 1t
Is just called farm"
whats the difference be-
tween Milan and the Federal
WOmen's Institution at Alder
son, w. Va.?"
Anderson is q refOrmatOry
and has cottages for its in
mates instead Of cells"
The girl had been told, before
Federal Judge E. E. Cushman
pronounced sentence yesterday,
that she would be sent either to
Milan or to Anderson.
Other "NOtableS" There
At Milan, Mrs. Valley will
mingle with other well-known
women criminals. including Eve
lyn Frechette, the late John Dill
fingers "moll;" Katherine Kelly,
wife Of Machine Gun" Kelly.
Harmon Metz VALLEY, the girls
husband. today was getting &C
quainted with Machine Cum
Kelly, al Capone and other in
mates of Alcatraz Prison in San
Francisco Bay, where he arrived
yesterday after being transferred
from the U. s. prison at Nc
Neil's Island.
Mrs. Valley said:
'TU be a good prisoner at
Milan. I understand it is a new,
clean prison."
She was pleased with the fact
that she would have a "cell to
herself" Ever since childhood, she
said, she had lived in crowded
quarters with her poverty-stricken
family, or her criminal husband.
Appeal Plans Wait
Defense attorneys awaited her
decision on filing an appeal. They
said they would make no move
except at her request.
Afraid that a reversal of her
Federal court sentence would mean
trial in the State courts under
WashingtonS drastic anti-kidnap-
ing laws and a possible sentence Of
death, the girl said she was "Satis-
fled with her present term" She
said she had expected even more
than 20 years."
Mrs. valley will be entitled to
ask parole, provided she maintains
a good conduct record, after serv-
ing one-third of her term, a little
less than seven years. She will
then be 26 years old.
There were no developments in
this area in the widespread hunt

Fred A staire Is
A Big Sensation In
"Hit Parade" Series

Fred Astaire, who can be heard
on the stations of the NBC net
work at p. m. on Saturday eve
nings, has proven the outstanding
sensation of radio. In his opening
program radio critics all over the
country were lavish in their praise
of the dancing star of stage and
screen who recently joined the
ranks of radio.
In his opening broadcast Astaire
sang the songs from his new pic
ture Top Hat" This was the first
time that these tunes had been
heard by the public either on the
radio or elsewhere. In his subse-
quent broadcasts, Astaire will sing
selections from past musical COM
edy and screen successes.
In the Lucky Strike Hit Parade
Fred Astaire, as guest star, is sup
ported by Lennie Hayton's orches-
ira, Kay Thompson, Johnny Hau-
ser, Charles Carlile, the Rhythm
Kings and the Melody Girls. The
Melody Girls are one of the recent
innovations of the Lucky Strike
program. The group consists OF
twelve voices under the direction
of Kay Thompson. They are used
effectively as choral background
for the other vocalists and are
heard in one number alone during
each broadcast.
