 OVER MAY DAY

New York, May 1-(UP)--A May day in peaceful contrast to the vio- lent demonstrationes of other years saw more than 5o,oo0 communists and socialists march to Union Square today in a real united front" against various commo nenemies all of whom were caricautred on posters and floats.
 Two divisions formed the parade. One, composed of from 30,000 to 50,000 workers, marched to Union Square from aristocratic Washing ton Square and the other, with some 10000 to 15,000 demonstrators, trudged along from the garment dis- trict mile away.
 More than 1,500 police stool along the lines of march without night sticks and found little to do. The goodwill spirit so permeated the throng that members of bitterly op- posed communist factions walked side by side.
 The coalition of socialist and com munists took virtually all the threat out of the 5oth annual celebration of labor's solidarity.

HOLC Foreclosures to
 Mar 3l Less Than 1 9o

AS of March 3l, total pay ments of interest and princi- pal received by the Home Own- ers' Loan Corporation from borrowers amounted to $267,- 700,000, or nearly 30 per cent of the $356, ,354, ,906 total due the Corporation to that date from the beginning of It's operations in June, 1883. Payments re- ceived in March were $l9,273,- 900, more than $l,200,000 over receipts in January, the preVi- ous peak month.
 On the 100000 loans granted to urban home owners, the en- tire number of voluntary deeds and foreclosures to March 3l represented slightly less than one per cent of all HOLC bor- rowers. Practically all home owners refinanced by the Cor poration were in default on their original mortgages and therefore in immediate dan- ger of foreclosure when saved by HOLC.
 Tn several hundred thousand cases HOLC removed the threat of tax sales. Total reimburse inents to state and municipal authorities by the organization in the form of taxes approxi- mated SPA, ,9el ,000 to March 3l. The amount of such payments is consolidated in the loans, with the net result that the taxes in arrears were paid and HOLC is being reimbursed for such expenditures through the principal and interest install- nents paid by borrowers on their loans under the l5-year monthly repayment plan.

have to be adopted. The most urgently advocated "other plan among labor groups is the 30-hour wor'. week. There are indications that MT. RooSevelt's mind runs with Miss Perkins on that subject Speaking this month at Baltimore Md, the president said: Some peo- pie tell you that even with a com pletely restored prosperity there will be vast permanent army of unem- ployed. I do not accept that That is why we are not content to re- store what Is sometimes called pros- perity. We propose to attack the problem from every conceivable angle"
 One of MT. RoosYeelts avenues oi attack will be to limit the active working age at both ends. He would permit juveniles to remain longer in school and out of em- ployment and he would retire the aged from the payrolls. But the most direct of the Roosevelt pro- posals is that industry reduce the hours of the work week and at the same time maintain present wage levels. That is a voluntary variation of the Black Connery 3O- hour work week bill.

 President William Green said business had improved 72 per cent since the low point of March 1883 but that unemployment had made no comparable progress. On the basis of improved business, Green estimated that 8 10000 of the job- less should now be unemployed whereas his figures indicate that only 5,270,000 have found jobs.

Revealing statements within the past month have come from organized labor, organized businessmen, President Roosevelt and members of his cabinet Wait ing patiently in congress are Sen Hugo Black, d., Ala, and Rep. Will liam P. Connery, Jr.. d., Mass, with their compulsory 30-hour work week bill.
 Mrs. Roosevelt and Secretary of Labor Francis Perkins most recent references to unemployment, hint that the 30-hour bill or some similar remedy may be at the head of the New Deal legislative program next year-provided the New Deal still is in office.
 From another New Deal sector business was given another alterna- tive to private unemployment of the jobless. Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper told United States Chamber of Commerce representa- tives assembled here that private irl- dustry could put Americans to work or reconcile itself to continued rec lief taxation of business profits.
