PUSH J0BLESS
CENSUS BILL
International News Service


Yielding to the pressure OF a
strong bipartisan bloc, the Senate
today began preliminary consid-
Grafton of a bill which would in
stitute a continuous census of I'm
employed and establish a drastic
Federal system of work-weekS
based on the number of idle work
ers.
The plan, sponsored by Senator
Maloney CD of Connecticut, was
selected from six alternate but
less sweep 1g proposals, and
placed before the Commerce Com
mittee for Executive debate.
This course was taken by Sen
ate leaders in the face of in
creased bipartisan demands for
an accurate" accounting of the
number of unemployed which fol-
lowed President Roosevelt's re-
quest for Government economy
and his 1900, 900. 900 relief budget
estimate.
In addition to demanding an
unemployment census of workable
persons from the ages of Is to IS
for the years 1887, 1910, and every
two years thereafter, the bill
would set up a Federal unemploy-
ment commission to administer
and control the work-week.

DUKE SPEEDS TO MRS. SIMPSON

Daylight

Hit Here

Announcements heard last week
to the effect that no protest had
come to the House District Com
mittee against the proposal to
have daylight savings time in the
District today caused opponents
to file their objections with the
committee.
Last week the Board of Trade
and the local Merchants and
Manufacturers Association in
formed the committee of their APP
proval of the bill which was in
troduced by Representative Leon
Sacks CD of Pennsylvania. At
tha5 time no opposition had made
itself heard.
Today, however, more than a
half dozen individuals, mostly
housewives, wrote to the COM
mittee, pleading that the standard
time schedule remain unchanged

"A very tired-out woman" wrote
the committee that daylight saw
ings schedule would work a hard
ship on mothers, explaining:
poor, tired mothers loose
more than half the nights sleep
with tired, crying children"
Another complaint from Mrs.
Grace L. Mathers, of Clifton Sta
ton, Va, who works in Washing
ton, pointed out that she now must
arise at 5 a. m. in order to catch
the $40 Crain for work and added
that during the war when daylight
savings was in effect here she
never seemed to get to bed an hour
earlier. She wrote:
Commuters, railroad men,
newspapermen, breadmen, milk
men, housewives and many
others must be deprived of that
cool, quiet, extra hour of rest
SO badly needed"
In his protest to the committee,
Amea A. O'Neill declared that
there is mo economic justifica-
ton for this stupid bill" He con-
tended:

Supreme Court today held that

The decision brought a peculiar

result but dissenting from the ma

BY the decision the court ruled
that funds deposited in New York

Presently he found Lightfoot's footprints in the soft ground and studying them he knew that Lightfoot had known of his com ing.
 Tt was that con1ounded Jay" nut tered the hunter. "Lightfoot heard him and knew what 1t meant. l know what he has done. He has circled round so as to get behind me and get my scent It Is a clever trick, very clever trick, but two can play at that game I'll just try that little trick myself"
 So the hunter in his turn made a wide circle back and presently there was none of the dreaded man-smell among the scents which the Merry Lit tie Freezes brought to Lightfoot. Light foot had lost track of the hunter.

THE MERRY LITTLE FREEZES
 HELP LICHTFOOT

GOULD you have seen the hunter A with the terrible gun and Light foot the Deer that morning on which the hunting season opened you might have thought that LightfOot was hunt ins the hunter instead of the hunter hunting Lightfoot. You see, Llghtfoot was behind the hunter so as to keep track of him. As long as he knew just where the hunter was he felt reason ably safe.
 The Merry Little Freezes are the best friends that LightfoOt has. They always bring to him all the diff ferent scents they find as they wander through the Green Forest. And Light foot's delicate nose Is so wonderful that he can take these scents. even though they be very faint, and tell just who or what has made them. So, though he makes the best possible use of his big ears and his beautiful eyes. he trusts more to his nose to warn him of danger. For this reason during the hunting season when he moves about he moves in the direction from which the Merry Little Freezes may be blow ing. He knows that they will bring to him warning of any danger which may lie in that direction.
 Now the hunter with the terrible gun who was looking for Lightfoot knew all this, for he was wise in the ways of Lightfoot and of the other

THE STORY OF A REFUGEE
DIR. ERMA LUBLINSKY

DR.. Erma Lublinsky was born of
a good Jewish family in Berlin, 1901.
She was graduated from medical
school at the age of 20 and had a
sensational rise in medicine. A
prominent specialist in children's
diseases, DR.. Lublinsky had her own
clinic and a brilliant future. She
was happily married, her husband,
Alfred, a successful architect.
Then Hitler's Nazis established
their Fascist dictatorship over the
people of Germany. DR.. Lublinsky
and her husband were forced to flee,
going to Paris. In November, 1886,
DR.. Lublinsky, leaving her husband
in France, came to the United
States. In New York, destitute and
penniless, she rented a $4-a-week
hotel room. She took English in
struction and was preparing to take
medical examinations, although, as
an immigrant, she couldn't get a
license until she had obtained her
second citizenship papers.
Last week, DR.. Erma Lublinsky,
SO, committed suicide. Separated
from her husband, her social posi-
ton gone, remembering her suffer-
ing under the Hitler regime, DR.
Lublinsky leaped from her $4-a-
week hotel room.
