tally from the present re-investiga-
ton Of all WPA workers which Is
being carried on by the department
Of welfare staff members IN that 1t

status. The welfare department Is
merely trying to determine how
many persons no longer need direct
relief.
In the Waterbury district there
are some 1900 persons who are LIST
ed on the files as working for the
WPA. All these people will be re-
interviewed and there is the posi-
bility that many Of them will have
an opportunity to secure perma-
nent Jobs. Also In the Waterbury
district there are some 1850 persons
who are able to work and who have
not been reporting regularly to the
office. Re-ihterviewing these persons
will also help the ONCE to discover
what they might be qualified for
and aid them in placing them. It is
the aim Of the entire program to
effect a general check-up and to
curtail the present relief load. Ac-
cording to the local manager, 1t is
expected that the work will take
about three months.
'., Relief Cases
It was pointed out this morning
that the entire $500 cases which
will be handled here In the city are
relief cases. The last report Of the
offices, as Of September !, showed
that there were slightly over 5000
persons listed on the active files at
the office. About q 1000 Of these
names, however, are, those Of per-
sons not on relief who are looking
for jobs.
In connection with the re-inter-
viewing program, there will be some
1900 persons in Torrington who will
be checked. The Torrington office Is

The question of national represen-

fore the Board of Directors Of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
here yesterday as a preliminary to
study Of the subject by all affiliated
clubs throughout the Nation.

of speakers of the joint committee.
Merlo j. Pusey, editorial writer for
the Washington Post, disclaimed any
opposition to the proposal, but pointed
out difficulty in obtaining an amend
ment to the Constitution.
The federation's board heard the
speakers as result of action by the
triennial convention of the federation
last June at Detroit. which adopted
resolution authorizing such study.
The resolution proposed that the ques-
tion be subject for survey and study
by all affiliated State federations and

"Foreign radicalisn" must be era

tinore told directors of the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs to-
day as she reported for the Depart
ment of Education at the second
morning session of the four-day con-
vention here.
I'VE read about children refusing
to salute the Flag: about teachers re-
fusing to take the oath Of allegiance
to the Constitution" she said THE
thing that should perturb and shake
us is the bitterness displayed on the
part of citizens when protesting
against doing something which, in
the past. every true American was
proud to do"
Training of Government oficials as
a means of eventually destroying the
"spoils system" in public affairs was
also urged by Mrs. Whitehurst.
Advocating an academy of public
affairs. which he would have set UP
in Washington Representative Wesley

he described the bill he has introduced

Suter. appearing for Lesh, who was
busy at court. presented the argument
prepared by Lesh and supplemented
this with q discussion of his own as q
disfranchised native Of the District.
Mr.. Suter stressed the proposal to
make full American citizens out of the
District OF Columbia residents, saying
that 1t will not in any way change
the form of local government or take
away from Congress the control 1t ex-
ercises over the National Capital. Peo-
pie of the District are as deeply in
terested In ali national legislation, he
said, As people in any State of the
Union, for they are subject to all ma
tional laws. taxation and other bur.
dens of citizenship, but denied many
essential privileges.
During the last fiscal year the Dis
trict paid out in national taxes
through internal revenue more than
was paid by each of % States and
more than the combined payments Of
nine States. Suter pointed out.
Suter Answers Pusey.
In reply to Pusey's suggestion that
to give the District of Columbia many
of the rights enjoyed by sovereign
States of the Union would establish
a precedent which would probably en-
couarge some of the large cities of the
country to demand statehood. Suter
stated that such matters already are
definitely taken care of by constitu-
tional provision. This provides for
divisions of States SO that the joining
of States or parts of States must be
upon action by State Legislatures and
must have the approval of Congress.

Suter, it was contended that I'VE are

The need for organization between
all groups interested in conservation OF
natural resources was stressed by Jay
N. Darling, former chief of the Bureau
of Biological Survey, also on the morn
ing program. He painted gloomy
picture of how biologically productive
areas are being destroyed through
commercial, local projects and invited
the federation to take part IN the
conference on American wild life con-
servation to be held in washington IN
February.
President Roosevelt appeared unex-
pectedly at Mrs. Roosevelt's annual
reception for the directors yesterday
afternoon. For some 20 minutes or
more he chatted with the women on
phases of the federation welfare pro-
gram. This was the first time the
President has personally received the
federation.
What the Government is doing for
women was described at the alter
noon and evening sessions yesterday
by Miss Bertha Nienburg, assistant
director of the Women's Bureau; Mrs.
Ellen S. Woodward. assistant admins
traitor of the w. p. A.. and Harold
Stein, director of professional and
service projects of the w. PA.
Stein solicited the aid OF club offl-
cials In estimating the value of prof.
ects carried out under the Arts Divi-
sion of the w. P. A. Mrs. Woodward
said her program was an opportunity
for all citizens to assist their neigh
bors and country by sympathy, under

Nienburg praised the education
theme of the federation meeting, say
ing that material recovery through
the better adjustment of both man
and woman powers to the Nation
needs will be achieved only through
public education.
