Extension Of the Federal Public
Works program, minimum wage con-

Of Public Welfare as q part of a COM
prehensive plan to reduce the need for

Ffty-two recommendations in all

laid before the Commissioners for con-
sideration. In outlining details of the
suggested program, Welfare Director
Elwood Street declared preventive
measures constitute one OF the most
important questions residents Of the

Now and in the future, Washing
ton should be willing to finance out Of
tax funds adequate care of those de-
pendent defective, diseased and de-
linquent persons who are legitimately
the charges of its public welfare agen-
cies," he added. Now and in the
future, however, Washington ought to
initiate measures for cutting down the
increase in human load on these serv-
ices and on tax funds which will in
crease with the growth Of population
and with the completely Of urban life

The board told the Commissioners
some of the recommendations might
be put into effect at once, while others

To prevent unemployment and
"underemployment'' the board sug-
gested continuation Of the public
works programs and maintenance Of
the Civilian Conservation Corps at
least on its present scale Reduction
Of hours OF labor in any industry
or business or governmental agency

legislation, if necessary and extension
Of the District unemployment compen-
sation and the Federal old-age bene-
fit program to all practicable kinds
Of employment not now covered.
Under a proposed expansion Of the

visions for enforced treatment OF
