To void additional appropriations for relief, the President served mo- tice, it is necessary for private in- dustry to increase employment.
 The President frankly discussed the unemployment situation.
 Since the Spring or 1933," he said there has been a gain in reemploy- ment in each successive year. At least 5,000,oOO more people were at work in December. 1885, than in March, 1933.'

TERROR REIGN
WILL RESULT,
HE INSISTS
Aggressive, Murderous
Instincts Would .
Be Loosened

In a scorching indictment Of
mercy Killings" DR.. william A.
White, superintendent Of st.
Ehzabeths Hospital and one Of
the outstanding authorities on
diseases Of the world, to-
day unloosed an attack on q
pro- rosal emanating from New
York to execute incurable i'm.
beetles to save the money used
in their support for the care Of
INDECENT and homeless children.
If mercy killings" were counte'
nanced, DR.. White said, the
world would be destined to
undergo a reign of terror" The
st. Elizabeths head declared:
"Such a policy as is involved
in the SO-called mercy killings
would unlOOse all the aggressive
instincts and the murderOus
tendencies Of the human race.
Nobody would be safe. The
mercy killers would kill every.
body in sight.
WOULD FIND REASON
Neither I nor the next fel-
low would be safe. They would
find some good reason to get
rid Of US, and there would be
no StOpping them"
The suggestion to execute i'm
beetles come from the Rev. DR..
Charles Francis Potter, president
and founder Of the first Humanist
Society of New York, who justified
mercy killing "in certain in
stances" DR.. Potter recently told
the Humanist Society.
zone Of the conditions should
be severe. pain. The incurable
imbeciIes should be mercifuIly
executed by lethal chamber and
in that decision 1 am influenced
by the fact that New York State
alone spends $3O,OOO,OOO annu.
ally to keep the incurable inn
beetle alive.
CALLS IT ABSURD
81 think it would be vastly
more moral to kill off the incur
able imbecileS and use the
money for the children of the
State than it would be to main
tain the present absurd expendi-
ture for their upkeep."
Expenditure of this money, DR..
White answered, is well worth
while, pointing out that it pre-
vents "murde Gus tendencies"
from breaking forth.
Protection of the mentally weak
and other sufferers of various
types of diseases is "our insurance
against rampant murder" he
said.

NO MODERNISM
BY HELEN ESSARY

Tangier Island, ice bound in the
Chesapeake Bay. and undoubtedly
hungry and cold, is probably en-.
joying its present Importance and
adventure.
So little ever happens at Tan
gier. Although only a few miles
from Crisfield, as the sea gulls
fly, it is as remote from the cur
rents of the modern world as it
was when Father Thomas, "The
Parson Of the Islands," reused
the natives to an ecstasy Of re-
hgion.
Fishing, grabbing, oystering and
going to church are the occupa'
tions of the natives. No automo.
biles, no moving picture houses,
no radios disturbed the tranquil.
lity Of the lanes and the neat cot.

or two ago.
The rescue planes, swooping out
Of the SKY with food and medicine,
will remind the Islanders Of an
other dramatic visitation of
strangers of the stories their
grandfathers told of the landing
Of the British ships during the
War Of 1912.

CALL TO SAVE
WILD LIFE OF
NATION

Are Spurred to Aid
At Farley Here

Calling on all sportsmen to put
their shoulders to the task Of
restoring the nations wild-life
population, l.. w. Barclay, direc-
tor Of activities of the Boy Scouts
Of America, today asserted the
youth Of the land were the real
sufferers in the present conserva-
ton crisis.
Mr.. Barclay, who spoke at the
forenoon session Of the North
American Wildlife Conference
now in its second day in the La
Dor Department Auditorium -
said:
"There Is no doubt but that
we are in the gravest crisis Of
wildlife conservation in the re-
corded history Of the country"
Mrs. Roberta C. Lawson Of this
city, who as president Of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs, presented the women's
viewpoint, declared the feminine
outlook takes cognizance Of the
social Importance Of wildlife con-
servation.
Waste Is Condemned
Roswell P. Rosengren, vice
president Of the U. s. Junior
Chamber Of Commerce, con-
demned what he called the waste
resulting from careless regula-
tion Of hunting and fishing.
Hoyes Lloyd of the Canadian
National Parks System, presided
at the gathering. which was op-
ened by predatory remarks by
Senator KEEP Pittman CD of Ne
vada, chairman Of the Senate's
special committee on wildlife con-
servation.
The conference closes Friday.
Yesterdays sessions heard Jay N.
Ding" Darling, ex-chief of the Bio
logical Survey, in a ringing denun-
citation Of the apathy which usually
greets coordinated attempts to
regulate the natural resources Of
the United States.
AS announced by President
Roosevelt, who called it, the pur-
pose of the conference is the event
ual formation of a united front
against the wilful and unneceS-
sary depletion of game and other
natural resources.
Darling Urges Action
Mr.. Darling, who is chairman Of
the conference, recently resigned
from his post in the Department of
Agriculture because of what he
afterward termed governmental
red tape" connected with the dis
bursement Of funds for the con-
Servation of game and forests.
Tomorrow the 1000 delegates at
tending the conference will assem-
BILE at the auditorium, where they
will engage in general forum pre-
sided over by Mr.. Darling. This
meeting is described as the most
significant of the entire conference.
According to Mr.. Darling:
Upon the success or failure Of
this meeting depends the future
of wiIdIife restoration"

gressional chins in the pink.
The baldhead bloc frequentS the
barbershop as often as the others.
Always coming in for messages, or
singeS, or to have the mouStache
trimmed.
A mouStache trim costs the
price of a shave, and is less than
the price of a haircut, under
which department you'd think it
would come. It doesn't matter
what style the moustache iS-mag-
nificent "handlebars" like Repre-
sentative Adolph j SABBATH CD 4,
Of Illinois, or the brush" kind, or
the spike" type.
The Capitol barbershop is true
last haven of men. None of the
five women members of the House
has ever been inside the place. No
tonSorial facilities for the women.

The BARRIERS work between
bells" and that makes their work
doubly difficult. Thus, you might
have a Representative under deep
lather when the vote bell rings.
Then you have to know his name,
and judge by its place on the al
phabet how much time you Rave.
Vice President Garner has his
haircut twice each week and a
shave and trim every other day,
in hi office.
Oh. and another thing. The
Capitol BARRIERS are never allowed
to begin a conversation with a Gus
toner. It's up to the Congress
man to say:
"Well. / see the Senators lost
another game today"
Then the BARRIERS can talk all
day, If they want to.

This reminds me of what a re-
markable event the Washington
Town Hall staged when it per.
suaded Mrs. Roosevelt to address
its audience on Sunday. It wasn't
only that Mrs. Roosevelt spoke.
It was the picture Of the wife
Of the President of the United
States permitting herself to be
placed on trial for her active in
terest in-everything. And of
taking the stand in her own de-
fenSe. Such a. thing as this has
never happened in the history Of
the country.
But then, as a WIFE OF A
PRESIDENT, Mrs. Roosevelt is a
pioneer. She is as far ahead of
her time as was Carrie Chapman
Gait, Anna Howard Shaw and
Florence Nightingale.

Mrs. Roosevelt answer cheerily

Last month the increase over q year

The reason for the showing, how
ever, was not due to any slowing down
in the pace of retail buying. There
