Social Security
Act Distributes
Big Sum in State

/ WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-(AP)
! The social security board observed
its first anniversary today and noted
that in the nearly seven months
since fuds became available 1t has
contributed more than 100000 for
: the aid of the needy of Arizona.
Total ALLEGATIONS by the board it.
self amounted to $57,400.
In addition, Arizona received
about S4S,50O from the childen's
bureau of the labor department for
services to mothers and children
and Smaller but substantial sums"
rom departments administering
other provisions of the social Sc
curity act, which became law in
August, 1885.
Ten Benefits
Arizona citizens today are eligible,
the board said, for eight of the 10
separate benefits and public serv-
ices created by the act, including:
Aid to dependent children in their
own homes; aid to needy blind;
maternal and child health services;
child Welfare services; services for
cripple children; vocational reha-
bilitation; public health services
and federal old age benefits Ito be-
gin in 1880.
AS yet, however, the state is not
participating in the unemployment
compensation and assistance to the
needy aged programs.
Allowances already made blythe
AlloTanc already made by the
board, plus equal or greater
have aided 1,64O needy Arizonians.
Homes Provided
Thes9 include 40 blind persons,
who shared contribution of $9,-
214, and 1900 dependent children,
who, deprived of parents support,
were a ded to the extent Of $48, ,1S0.
These children" the board OBJ
served, are being cared for, not in
institutions, but in homes provided
by rel tives who would not other
wise have been able to provide for
them"
Refe ring to the two benefit pro-
grams in which Arizona does not
now y; rticipate, the board said.
"Sho lid the state establish plan
for aid to the needy aged, which
confor ned to the social security act,
the state would also be eligible to
receive from the social security
board 0ne-half of its expenditures
for this form OF assistance.
Of hrizona were to enact an I'M
employ ment compensation law
which conformed to the provisions
of the social security act, employers
of the state would then be entitled
to ded uct from the federal tax on
employers of eight or more created
by the federal act-to the extent OF
80 per cent of that taX-the amount
of the contributions to the state
unemr Ioyment compensation fund
with laspect to employment as de
fined COR the purposes of the federal
taxi Furthermore, the state would
receive federal grants to pay all
proper costs of administering this
law"

M'CLELLAN SUICIDE
IS DENIED BY WIFE
Captain of Army Transport

Mrs. Louise De Pue Mcclellan, whose
husband, Capt. Edgar S. Mcclellan.
disappeared yesterday from the Army
transport Republic, said today she
was positive the veteran ship COM
mander did not commit suicide.
He always considered such things
completely foolish" she said.
The pajama- a-clad captain walked
from the bridge of his vessel after
leaving instructions to be called when
the ship stood 7 miles out from
the Golden Gate. He has not been
seen since. A search of the vessel
failed to reveal a trace Of him.
Believed Suicides Silly.
"It just doesn't make sense to me,
said Mrs. Mcclellan. He didn't
drink, never gambled, never even
smoked. He told me of several people
who jumped overheard from his ships
and how silly they were.
It don't know what happened; ]
can't even imagine"
An Army Board OF inquiry was
called to investigate today.

The Italians have been building two

velop the facts about them. The Brit

Likewise, Germany has proved her
ability actually to conceal submarines.
OF course, such successful con-
cealn,ent Is impossible in parlia-

MORGENTHAU COMMENT BRIEF
Not Interested In Stock Market,
Treasury Head Says.

Secretary Morgenthau today declined
to make more than brief comment on
former President Hoover's statement
in q California court that devaluation
of the dollar. credit imitation and the
threat of currency imitation made It
desirable to move Stanford University
endowments from the bond market
into common stocks and other equities.
"As Secretary Of the Treasury" Nor
genthau said, II am not interested in
the stock market"
Under questioning, however. he said
he was interested in the bond market.
The Treasury, Morgenthau sid, had
refunded more than 50, 8,ooo, 900 BOO into
lower interest bearing securities with .
subsequent saving to the Government
of $100, 900 900 annually.

Whether the reports are entirely
accurate is not as important now as
the fact that such reports are filling
the rarifed air of diplomacy and are
accepted as probably being true by
persons of great responsibility.
1t explains the determined United
States isolation policy, and why 1t is
likely to continue.
What Price Economy?
An influential congressional leader
remained on the front pages for weeks
last Fall with promises to balance the
budget. He was going to organize
congressional rebellion against
spending. Unfortunately. he became
i'll and has not been able to rebel.
What his associates have accom-
plished so far in the way of revolt
may be measured accurately by the
handling Of the first Government
appropriation bill in the House. II
Is the one supplying appropriations
for the Treasury and Post Once De-
partments Of Mr.. Morgenthau and
Gen. Farley. H''
Mr.. Morgenthau's money requests
pere pared, rather than slashed.
The ertent iDas 5000, 900, Leaving
him paltry $4,000. 900 to carry
on. More than halt the pairing
came out OF the Internal Repenue
Bureau, thus preventing Mr.. Nor
0enthdu from carrying out his
grand idea OF chasing taxpayers
in bigger and better ,ody merit
year. Enlargement OF most OF his
other bureaus tDds permitted.
Gen. Farley's desires were cut $l2,-
100000 to a bare 1889 500, 900. which
happens to be $30,o00,00o more than
he got last year. The excuse for the
increase is that business is going to
be better.
Both Mr.. Morgenthau and Mr..
Farley were authorized to hire ap-
proximately 5000 more employees.
The point of it seems to be that
while economy Is always in the air
in Washington. it rarely gets down
as far as the taxpayers pocket. There
has been many a slip 'twixt the lip
and the budget.
Russia and Japan Balanced.
You may have noticed remarkably
little reaction In Washington lately to
Far Eeastern developments. This does
not mean lack of interest.
The fact is, Russia and Japan seem
to be offsetting each other out there
in a very satisfactory way, which does
not require much Anglo-American re-
action. The Russians are restraining
the Japanese, and vice versa. That
situation is likely to continue. As
long as it does. the quiet American
policy will be to play one against the
other. and hope that neither succeeds.
Navy experts believe that the Lon
don agreement to swap informa-
ton about shipbuilding plans really
amounts to something. What led up
to 1t was this:

Man, Giren Up for
Lost, Cra,cls 7MiIes
Across Ice.
BY the Associated Press.

CHARLEVOIX, Mich, February IL.
Clayton Brown, 25-year-old fisher
man, given up for lost with two COM
panions swept into Lake Michigan
Saturday before 40-mile subzero gale.
came back today to tell how he refused
to die.
Brown crawled on frozen hands and
legs seven miles across rough shore ice
after Claude Beardsley, 81, his father
in-law, and Earl Cunningham. Coast
Guard surfman, froze to death in the
small boat before it jammed into foe
and stuck.
Saved by Indian Family.
Browns life was saved, physicians
said, by the ministrations of an Indian
family into whose cabin he stumbled
early last night.
In hospital here today Brown told
his family of the 48-hour struggle to
keep his companions from freezing
and how he stumbled shoreward after
the boat grounded because figured
I'd Just as soon die on my feet"
Brown and Beardsley were in a party
of fishermen caught on drifting ice.
Cunningham saved three Of the five In
the party, but was swept out into the
lake after he got Brown and Beardsley
into his rowboat.
I'VE were not afraid ut first" Brown
said. when we saw We couldn't row
to shore, We drifted with the wind. It
was showing hard and we could barely
see each other as night fell. About
dark Sunday Cunningham began to
doze. When we couldn't keep him
awake and when Beardsley became
sleepy whipped them with stick I
found in the boat.
Two Finally Die.
"All night I kept it up, but finally
Cunningham, the man who gave his
life for me, no longer responded. I
took him in my arms and rubbed his
face and hands and wrapped him in
a tarpaulin, but he died, his body
caked with ice.
"Beardsley gradually lost spirit after
that. ] forced him to move about and
when we drifted into a field of ice
cakes got him out and made him
walk. He grew weaker and I couldn't
keep him on his feet. As well as I
could tell, he died about II pm. Sum
day night.
I'VE didn't talk much, but we prayed
q lot. After Cunningham died my
father r-in-law and I talked about our
families and he expressed regret that
he could not see them once more be-
fore he died.
Thoughts Of Family.
after they were both dead I knew
my only chance Of saving myself was
to keep moving. My thoughts were
mainly Of my wife and my two little
girls, Patrica Ann, 3, and Shirley, 4
months. I couldn't help but think
how they needed me.
las soon as it was light Monday /
started toward the shore. In some
places the ice was so thin I had to
work along on my stomach. I would
60 to sleep, but my head would bump
on the ice and awaken me. went to
the first cabin I saw. They wouldn't
believe me at first when I told them
who I was"
