Billion and a Half Asked
for Relief for Year

n NE and one-half billion dollars will
~ be needed to carry the Works
Progress administration through the
coming fiscal year, according to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's figuring. Therefore
he asked congress to appropriate that
sum. He thought it would be sufficient
to care for the destitute unemployed,
together with S1,0O0,OO0,OO0 in unex-
pended previous appropriations and the
$600,000000 carried in the budget for
the civilian conservation corps and
various public works.
Limitation of federal relief eXpendi-
lures to this figure, however, is de-
pendent upon unemployment of sub
stantial numbers of the idle by private
industry, the President said.
AS the Presidents message was pre-
sented, Speaker Joseph w. Byrns re-
vealed that>Mr Roosevelt had advised
his leaders that any increase in the
appropriation over his estimates must
be accompanied by new taxes to pro-
vide revenues to cover the added cost.

President Goes South on
His Fishing Trip

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT packed
up his fishing tackle and started
South for his annual angling cruise,
this time on the new Presidential boat,
the Potomac. He made brief stop

Inns college. His plan was then TO
board the Potomac and spend about
two weeks on his old fishing grounds
off the Florida coast.
Mr.. Roosevelt had invited as his
fishing companions his eldest son,
James; an uncle, Frederick A. DelanO,
and three mates of his fishing cruise

Three Powers Agree to
Limit Battleship Size

GREAT BRITAIN, the United States
~ and France, the only nations re-
naming in the London naval confer
ence, accepted the final draft of new
treaty limiting the size of battleships
to $4,000 tons, retaining 10000 tons as
the maximum for cruisers and provid-
ing that none of that size shall be
built for six years.
Norman HI. Davis, chief of the Amer
lean delegation, served notice that the
United States would consider herself
free from the large cruiser limit If
Great Britain should build more than
20 cruisers.
Unsuccessful in keeping Japan and
Italy pledged to naval limitation, the
conferees wrote escape clauses in the
treaty which would permit them to
disregard the limits if Japan and other
nonSigners exceeded them.

Washington.-Th Presidents lat
est message to congress, asking more
than a billion and a
lHuudeT half in new money
Ouer Relief to spend on relief
as he sees fit has
caused political thunder to rumble
again. 1t has brought out In the
open much of the undercurrent of
gossip that has been going on about
political racketeering with federal
funds and it has brought into sharp
relief, just ahead of the spring cam
paigning, the fact that the federal
government has used something like
SS,OOO,OO0,000 under the guise of re-
lief since President Roosevelt took Of
fee.
Naturally, the situation is immersed
In politics. All of the charges that
were flung at Mr.. Roosevelt during
previous sessions of congress when he
had requested that he be given, as he
was given, blank checks on the treas
ury, have been revived. In addition,
new accusations and disclosures of
petty graft and political Vaccinations
have been dug up and Haunted in the
face of the New Deal leaders. More
and more of these are coming to the
surface and there is no longer any
question that throughout the relief or
ganization there is politics. This is
true Notwithstanding the strongly
worded statement by Mr.. Roosevelt
that politics was not to figure in the
administration of relief in any way.
All of this leads up to the conclu-
sion that whenever the federal govern
ment horns in on administrative af-
fairs of states, counties or municipal
tiles, the organization becomes so ex-
tensive that it is impossible for those
at the top in Washington to know
what goes on. 1t is but another way
of saying that the federal government
ought to confne itself to federal af-
fairs, matters of national scope in
stead of attempting to supersede the
local governments in any function.

Fortunately for Brazil cities, the
jungle mosquito that bites monkeys and
gives them yellow fever keeps away
from cities. The fight against disease

Edward VIII, new king Of England,
visited the magnificently luxurious
ocean steamer Queen Mary in Glasgow,
then went from house to house, knock

king put the problem of England, this
country and the whole world in these
few words:
How do you reconcile a world that
has produced this mighty ship with
the slums we have just visited?"

Of $225 per day must be realized, 1t

made by Miss Anna Murphy, a
member Of the local league.
In addition to the report Of the
amount Of money which has been
mailed In for seals, Miss Murphy
also stated that there have been 386
new contributors heard from so far

The drive Is about half finished

who can afford to do so to contrib
ute before December rs.
Seals are on sale, as usual, In the
three leading department stores In
the city and at all the local banks.
1t reflects great credit on the
citizens OF Waterbury, said the Of
ficials in charge Of the drive, be-
cause their support shows us they
are interested in aiding the Anti

fic, particularly in the crowded
streets Of central shopping districts.
The thousands who will move in
and out Of those districts on streets
cars and motor buses, but who do
not have to travel to and from
places Of occupation every day can
assist both themselves and the
transit facilities by avoiding the
traffic rush hours. This particu-
larly applies to housewives who with
out inconvenience are able to do
their Christmas shopping between
the hours Of 10 a. m. and p. M,
and who can therefore travel back
and forth on street cars and buses
at hours other than those when
great numbers Of workers are being
carried either to or from their places
Of employment.
10 a. m. 10 4 p. m.
Even under normal circumstances,
the morning and evening rush hours
when people are hurrying TO and
from their occupations result in
considerable traffic congestion, but
when thousands of Christmas shop
pers are added to the already large
rush hour crowds conditions will be
aggravated and everybody will be
delayed. BY shopping between 10 a.
m, and p. m, housewives and
others who find 1t possible to do so
will make 1t easier for other men,
beers OF their families to reach home
on time after work ana will make
their own buying job more easy.
Avoidance of careless parking,
particularly double parking, on the
part of motor vehicle operators will
help considerably in permitting all
traffic to move freely. Parking which
forces other motor vehicles to travel
In the street car tracks creates a
bottle-neck which delays autos
ahead Of street cars, impedes the lat
ter and piles up more motor traf-
fic behind them. A single truck or
auto cafelessly parked may delay
the transportation OF hundreds OF
people In this manner. Motorists are
urged to exercise more than ordin-
airy caution with respect to stand
ing trolley cars and buses during
the Christmas rush, since there
will be an increased accident hazard
due TO the greater number Of peo-
pie boarding and leaving the public
transit facilities.
