Both employee and employer were
each to contribute to the insurance
fund the sum of cents per week.
The state was also to contribute S
cents per week for each insured per-
son. The unemployed man was to
get benefit Of SITS per week when
out of job. About 100000 per-
sons were insured under this
scheme.
Since those early days many
changes have been made in the law.
Each time 1t has been broadened,

Of the Chief Executive or the same
construction on different remarks.
This speculation apparently can
now be set at rest.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no intention
Of endeavoring to succeed himself
in 1941.
While the definite indication to
that effect does not come from
Mr.. Roosevelt personally, it does
come from Mrs. Roosevelt.
And Mrs. RoSevelt's statement
leaves none of the doubt that
plagued politicians after Presi-
dent Coolidge announced that he

The Presidents intention to
avoid another term was made
known by Mrs. Roosevelt in COM
menting, in her column, on the
recent Photographic orgy at the
White House when she posed for
cameramen in the gown and coat
she would wear at the inaugura-
ton and the dinner following.
Telling of her tribulationS with
the photographers, Mrs. Roosevelt
wrote:
my only consolation was that
there would never be another
Inauguration and this was really
the last posed picture I will
have to have taken"
While, of course, the President
can't be held accountable for all
that Mrs. Roosevelt says, there is
now no doubt in the minds of poll
ticians (and most of them Of at
least the Democratic persuasion
are in Washington now) that the
President will retire to Hyde Park

morrow comes to an end.

One Of the games will be to

Bidding for these jobs is furious
already even though they haven't
been created yet. But they prob
ably will be and they would afford
excellent jumping off places for

how the private utilities should be
handled developed White House
action today.
President Roosevelt named Sec
retary of the Interior Ickes head
of q committee composed of heads
of Federal agencies dealing with
power, to draft legislation to set
up a national "yardstick" for the
sale of Federal power. ..
The power issue developed dur
ing the weekend when DR.. Arthur
E. Morgan, chairman of IVA,
announced opposition to any brow
beating of utilities to make them
come to terms, and favored more
power pools such as the iva now
has with the Commonwealth and
Southern Company in the South.
David E. Lilienthal, director of
IVA, answered Morgan by oppoS-
ing any hand-in-hand arrange
ment between the. Government
and the utilities.
Report IN Two weeks
The Chief Executive directed
the committee to draft recon.
mendations for legislation which
he hopes can be submitted to him
within two weeks.
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote Ickes:
Power from the Bonneville
project will be available for dis
tributiOn this year. Therefore,
legislation Is Immediately neces-
Sary.
"At the same time, It Is highly
advisable that such legislation
conform to . national power
generating, transmitting and dis
tributinE policy, such policy to
be uniform as far as practicable
or advisable.
POLICY FOR ALL PROJECTS
This does not mean identical
rates In every part Of the cOun-
try but It does mean uniformity
Of policy.
"This policy once established
will apply to existing projects,
such as Boulder Dam and pOr-
tiOns Of the iva and to all new
power developments as they are
completed during the next few
years."

 Leon Prenn, 23-year-old chem istry student and an officer in the ordinance reserve, announced through college heads that he has perfected gas which will des- troy gas masks as effectively as it destroys human beings by re- moving the neutralizing soda lime element of the mask.
 The gas is a combination of phosgene, mustard and another element which was not named.
 Whether the gas will be com mercialized was not revealed.
