Mrs. Hurja
Has Returned Here

Former Secretary of War
Patrick j. Hurley belongs to the
clan who enjoy an afternoon
paper while lunching-at least,
that's the way it seemed at the
Carlton the other afternoon.
Mrs. Emil Hurja is back in
her Georgetown residence I'M
til Sunday, ostensibly to rest !!
This vivacious little blond
lady, as efficient, capable and
charming a hostess as they
come, has hardly been relax
ing these past few months.
With her husband, deep in
Democratic politics, busy all
day and sometimes late into
the night, in his office on the
fourth floor of the Biltmore
in New York, she has been on
the twelfth floor of the same
hotel in their lovely apart
ment! There they entertained
various visiting Democrats and
prominent members of the
party. But it so happened that
this very convenience of work
ing on one floor and living
on another had its disadvan-
tage, for as many as four days
would elapse and Mr.. Hurja
would not get out of the
building.
While in Washington, Gud-

Roper Asks Vigilance
Against Unhealthy Eco.
nomic Expansion

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. (UP)
Secretary Of Commerce Roper to-
day asked vigilant action under
New Deal laws to prevent a run
away stock business boom. He
said statutes provide against UNI
healthy economic expansion and
urged special attention to securi-
ties exchange laws in view OF fast
rising markets.
General optimism over business
prospects for the winter found
added foundation last night in a
report by the Federal Reserve
Board showing that industrial
production, employment and pay
rolls all increased during October
and the first three weeks of No
vember.
The December issue Of the, Fed
eral Reserve Bulletin stated that
the boards seasonally adjusted in
dex of industrial production stood
at 100 per cent of the l923-25
average, about the level Of the
three preceding months.
October steel production was
greater in volume than any month
since 1929, and the rate Of activ-
ity was sustained into November,
the board reported. Automobile
output rose sharply over Septem-
Der. The increase was smaller
than for the similar period last
year, but in November 1t jumped
ahead of last year. Textile mill

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. (UP)
The administration plans to re.
duce relief spending by at least
20 per cent during the next year,
by shifting the public works pro-
gram from an emergency basis to
a less costly means Of fulfilling
the same detectives.
It was revealed today that the
new policy will include revamping
the WPA, cutting down admins
tration costs, curtailing construc-
ton, cutting down PWA loans,
and non-federal building.
It is planned to continue the
CCC camps and the NYA, this lat
ter organization to come under
the WPA activities.
The shifts were submitted in
general terms to President Roose-
welt, repeatedly receiving his ap-
proval because they. will help him
move the federal budget nearer to
the balance line in the next IL
months.
The basic reason for the deci-
sion that relief expenditures next
year could be held down rested in
the fact that relief rolls are de-
clining.
There were $4,000 families
and single persons -, more than
100000 individuals =. depend
ing on the government for live
lihood in January, 1885, when
need was greatest. The number
dropped to 4,756,000 q year later.
Increasing employment Of job
less by business and industry dur
ing 1895 brought this confident
prediction from Hopkins as he
surveyed probable need through
out the nation this winter:
81 would think that we will go
into January with 100000 cases
less on relief rolls in. the u. S.
(making a total Of $3.50, 900 fam
lilies and single persons) below
January, 1853"
The complexion of the relief
rolls is changing, however, as pri-
vate employers pick the workers
skilled most in their trades or
with the best physiques. The re-
suit Is that the nations needy
population lists an increasing
number of, aged persons, white
collar and unskilled persons. .
They estimated that, II relief
rolls do drop 100000 cases by
January, WPA will be able to re-
duce expenditures 20 per cent be-
low its SLABS, 100000 appropri-
ated by congress for the 1856
1897 fiscal year.
Officials said the development
would allow them to shape the big
work program into one of econom-
ic reconstruction, training WPA
workers, educating them in voca-
tional skills, TO take their place
in private industry.
PWA is granting and loaning
$500, 100000 to states and mu-
inequalities this year. Observers
predicted a tapering off OF that
phase Of the work-relief program.
