ing chiselers on the relief rolls, then,
would logically be an administrative
staff composed of trained social work
ers. But do the critics ever see it that
way? They do not.
Instead, they demand-for some OBJ
scure reason-that the social workers be
fired, to be replaced presumably by gift
ed amateurs, and, in the same breath, de-
mand that the rolls be purged of mooch-
erS.
Just how the amateurs are going to
be more skilled than the social workers
in telling deadbeat from an honest
man is something that the critics never
take time to explain.
The relief problem of course is one
of the meanest and most pressing prob
lens facing America today. We cannot
possibly go on indefinitely as We nave
been going in the last three years. Uncle
Sans pocketbook is not bottomless, and
his credit is not without limits.
But to base ones attack on the prob
lem on the social worker and the chiseler
to talk as if most of our relief troubles
would vanish overnight if the deadbeats
could be removed from the rolls and
the trained workers from the admins
trative staffs-is to talk pure and un-
adulterated nonsense of the most vicious
kind.
1t is vicious because it tends to make
people forget the real nature OF the
problem. The primary trouble is, has
been, and always will be the lack of
jobs in private industry
Until that trouble is remedied, the
other relief headaches are secondary

ATTACK ON SOCIAL WORKERS
DOES NOT SOLVE RELIEF

There seems to be something about
the relief problem that makes it hard
for people to think straight. How else
explain the fact that an attack on any
local relief administration almost al
ways degenerates, ultimately, into an at
tack on social workers and denuncia-
tion of chiselers?
1t usually is asserted that far too
many social workers are being given Jobs
in the relief administration, and that
there are altogether too many chiselers
on the relief rolls.
These accusations-because they are
heard almost every time relief admin
istration comes under fire-are worth
looking at in detail.
The most obvious thing about them is
that they simply don't mesh. The social
worker, whatever his faults, is at least
experienced in dealing with people who
have to ask for charity. He has spent
his adult life in such work.
If anyone on earth should be qualified
to tell whether given applicant for re-
lief is a deserving case" or a shlftless
moocher, it should be the social worker

Ickes Us. Hopkins Doubt About
PWA Policies 1t Is Not Funny
Any More NeU Mirup

WASHINGTON.-Give another term, Pres
ident Roosevelt doubtless would eventually make
up his mind as to what kind of PWA program
he wanted.
The battle between Mr.. Ickes boys and Mr.
Hopkins boys has been going on steadily for
more than year and it is Importantly involv-
ed in the current peculiar situation, which
finds Mr.. Ickes sitting on s300,000000 and not
knowing what TO do with it.
Mr.. Icloes is not only confused. He is also
bored. He has had PWA pulled out from under
him and then tossed back into his lap so often
that it isn't even funny any more.
The latest mixup is due to Roosevets alarm
over increase in the WPA rolls which would be
hard enough to cut in a campaign year any
way. without the great drouth coming along to
add enormously to them.
Roosevet'S idea is that large numbers of
WPA workers should be employed on PWA prof.
ects Which would be an excellent idea if it
worked
so far. the PwA program for this fiscal year
hasn't even started, because of confusion over
presidential regulations Current understand
ing is that PWA can put money on its basis
of SIS per cent loan and As per cent grant only
if As per cent of the labor on the project can
be taken from the relief rolls.
PWA would be permitted to grant only such
percentage of the projects cost as could be used
for employment of relief labor.
Ickes figures thfs would that the fed
eral contribution would have to be cut to 10
or Is per cent, since PWA projects require skill
ed labor for the most part. and doubts whether
municipalities want 10 put up 90 or W per cent
of the money themselves.
Meanwhile, it is understood that confident
ial study of relative costs of WPA and PWA
employment per man recently made by the
Budget Bureau has put PWA in very favor
able light
When the amount of local contribution and
the labor indirectly employed in producing mat
erials is figured n it appears that PWA money
employs far more men than indicated by figures
previously given the president-fgures prepared
and furnished by WPA statisticians.
Ickes frankly said he just didn't know what
the presidents plan was "in the absence OF
any direct communication from him"
When someone remarked that a certain
other phase of the situation didn't make
damn bit of difference" IckeS interrupted and
said. THAT is how I feel about the whole busi-
ness"
His top subordinates explained later that
Ickes was bored. Some of them feared his
remarks would appear to Roosevelt like "insub-
ordination"

NEW DRASTIC REGULATIONS
DRAWN TO STOP DEATH DRIVERS

The Oakland Post-Inquirer has an in
teresting comment on the question of
controlling traffic fatalities, which is
worth the careful consideration of auth
critics in a position to press the adop-
tion of controlling rules and regula-
tions. The editorial reads:
Here in California the State Safety
Council, analyzing the traffic accident
figures SO far this year and comparing
them with last year, admits sadly that
1886 is showing little if any improve
ment.
Deaths and injuries this year are about
even with those of last year.
To be sure, there is some encourage
ment in the fact that there is more traf-
fic this year, more gasoline being con-
sumed more people driving cars longer
distances, and in spite of this there is no
sharp increase in deaths and in deaths
and injuries.
But that is slight comfort when you
remember that approximately 5000 men,
women and children will be killed this
year in California traffic accidents; that
in one county alone they are being killed
at the rate of more than 1000 year.
What is to be done, what CAN be done
about that?
In the State of New York, which with
California has the most unenviable rec
ord of traffic accidents, the Legislature
proposes plan which might interest us
here.
It seems to be move in the right
direction
This plan provides:
/. An intoxicated driver shall IMME-
DIATELY lose his drivers license.
2. Chauffeurs must submit to annual
examinations or lose their licenses.
8. Other drivers must submit to exam
nations every four years.
a. All convictions for reckless driving
must be noted on drivers licenses.
s. All persons convicted of four traf-
fic violations. other than overtime park
ing, shall have their driving licenses re-
voked.
6. All persons whose licenses have
been revoked twice in ten-year period
shall forfeit permanently their right to
drive.
These provisions may seem strict, but
they also seem sensible-as far as they
go.
But perhaps they do not go far
enough.
They are aimed at the dangerous driv-
err and it is true that relatively small
minority of such drivers, involved in re-
peated accidents, are responsible for the
majority of deaths and injuries on our
streets and highways.
Both the dangerous driver and the
dangerous car should be outlawed.

Of On The Right Foot

State Chairman J. Francis Smith of this city showed the way to the Demo" cratic state Central Committee in Hart ford Monday night as the 1036 campaign was officially launched in this state. He pointed out that the criticisms of various groups, aided and abetted by the republi- can party, are actually without real four- dalton in that they cannot bear examine ton, What the republicans say of the Roosevelt administration today as proof of failure Is more or less an indication that they are out and wish they were ir1
 There is no doubt that right now the New Deal of President Roosevelt is being subjected to as hot croSS-fire as that leveled at Herbert Hoover in the last two years of his administration when he rec fused to recognize conditions and kept reminding everybody that with the re- publican party in power nothing could happen to the nation. Well, 1t happened and 1t required herculean efforts to undo the wrongs Now that partial success has been achieved we find the fault-finders busy.
 It would not be SO bad If opposition to the democratic administration were con- fined solely to g.o.p. ranks. AS test between two parties the republicans would have no chance of winning this fall. But the battle is not between democrats and republicans; 1t is between dissatisfied groups, special interests that did not get their own way; organizations that have been accustomed to dictate and not be dic- tated to. The people demanded that re- forms be made, perhaps not in detail as President Roosevelt has done 1t, but de- mand did and now that 1t has come, 1t is not acknowledged.
 Democrats of Connecticut would do well to realize the gains they have made in the last six years. The party has been raised to 6 point of power where formerly 1t merely stood by and listened. That position should not be sacri- feed, for only through such demo- cratic rule have the many reforms in our own state government been brought about. No man needs sacrifice his demo- cratic principles in supporting his party today. We don't believe that Russia Is moving the hand of the President. We do believe that democrats of this state need to realize the danger of accepting at face value the mere announcement that their elected officials have failed.

The Records Speak for Themselves

It remained for the gentleman, who was Alfred E. Smiths running mate on the democratic ticket of 1928, to put the finishing touches on the avalanche or protests and criticisms that have greeted the Liberty League address of the former democratic leader Senator Joseph Rob- inson of Arkansas read the record over the radio last night and didn't miss many opportunities In which to confound and contradict uttered statements of MT. Smith. To those who still hold the New Yorker in high regard 1t was a crushing blow to hear or read the logical utter ances of the Senate leader.
 Senator Robinson must have had some love still left in his heart for the Happy Warrior" with whom he campaigned up and down the land in 1928, fighting the greedy special interests who saw their liberties and licenses endangered by the liberal principles of this man from New York state who had in his many years in dealing with the affairs of his own state government brought about humanitarian reforms that made conservatives turn pale. But in his orderly procession of damning facts which he presented Sem ator Robinson was cold and calculating.
 He showed no swerving from loyalty to the administration which now controls cur government. While he did not by word of mouth approve every action of the Roosevelt administration, at least he indicated that he was with 1t in every thing 1t did or planned to do. And he showed, or at least he endeavored to show, that what had taken place in the past three years was nothing more nor less than what MT. Smith had proposed him. self many times. AS we said above, coming from Alfred E. Smiths running mate of 1928, this indictment bears weight.
