HOUSE BLOCS.
WILL COMBAT
ECONOMY PLAN
Powerful Forces Will De-
mand Billions More for
Work Relief
WORKERS ALLIANCE
WANTS 3 BILLIONS

WASHINGTON, April 7. (UP)
Two powerful house blocS organ
izcd last night to combat Presi-
dent Roosevclt's plans to reduce
federal spending by demanding
White House endorsement of a
new $2,1O0,O00,0O0 work-rclicf
program and that no cuts be made
in the CCC during the 1893 fiscal
year.
The developments occurred as
the chief executive told newspaper
correspondents that he would send
to congress next week n request
for relief money for the twelve
months beginning July ! and data
which would present an up-to-the-
minute picture Of the govern
mcnt's fiscal condition.
In his budget message to con-
grcgs carly in January the prcsl-
dent forecast a substantially bal
anced budget in the 1888 fiscal
wear provided a maximum Of ST.
50O.O0O,0OO was appropriated for
relief. Strong objections to this
amount came from the United
States conference of mayors whose
representatives told Mr.. Roosevelt
that a minimum Of $2,2O0,OO0,OO0
would be needed to care for the
needy.
The president asked congress
Monday to make the Civilian Con-
servation Corps permanent
agency of the government and to
fix its maximum strength at 3O0,-
600 members. Rep. William +.
Connery, D., Mass. introduced
bill Tuesday to carry out the pres
idents wishes but earlier a house
group made plans to force ear
marking of the forthcoming relief
bill to provide sufficient funds to
continue the CCC with 350,O0O
enrollees in 2,100 camps.
The successful conclusion OF the
bloc's fight would add $50,O0O,OOO
to the annual cost of CCC main
tcnance, and would endanger still
furtherer the fulfillment of the
presidents forecast of u balanced
budget in the 1888 fiscal year. A
sharp drop in income tax collec-
tons, slump in security tax re-
ceipts and Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau's state
ment that, contrary to earlier be-
lief, the government would nave
to borrow more money before the
start of the new fiscal year have
precipitated reports that President
Roosevelt will revise his budget
balancing predictions in his new
estimates next week.
In demanding q 100000
work-relief program for the forth
coming 10 months, the house bloc
headed by Rep. Maury Maverick,
D., Tex, recommended that new
taxes be imposed to finance it. The
levies would fall on those best abe
to pay and those who acquire the
greatest benefit from the proposed
expenditures. The bios proposed
creation of department of social
welfare charged with the duty of
planning and providing work for
the unemployed.
The group proposed that the
program be developed on a long,
term basis and that it be financed
by regular appropriations from
congress. In statement issued
after a meeting yesterday the bloc
said there was "crying need" for
public works in flood control, low
cost housing, park and playground
construction, reforestation and

TO ITS FINAL DRIVE

Proponents Of a special supple
mcntary tax to support the ninth
month Of the school term in the
Hcndcrsonvi!lc school district won
by a close margin in yesterdays
special election.
The vote for the special levy
was 945. The registration, against
which il was necessary 20 secure
"a majority. was Approximately
1900. The majority by which the
proposal carried WAS between -
and 30.
Exact registration figures were
not known last night when the
vote was counted. The original
registration a. announced was
1917. Thirty Of these registered
voters were successfully challcng-
ed by proponents Of the special

was found that few voters, who
had registered, had inadvertently
been omitted from the list.

West precinct. TOO.
The vote against the proposal
Yesterday was as follows: East
precinct, Go: West precinct, l39.
The vote against the propC.al WAS
not counted except as a part OF
the registration.
Activity on the part of pro-
poncnts of the special levy was in
tense all of yesterday, and a final
drive for votes was begun about
4 p. m. and continued until the
polls closed.
As late as > p. M. proponents
estimated that they needed an adj
ditional 500 votes 20 carry tn"
election. and with this goal IN
view they checked off the y0lum-
nous registration list the names
OF all persons who had voted.
They then drew off the names OF
persons marked "cortaiT' who
had not voted, and by the use OF
telephones and automobiles they
soon brought in scores Of voters.
An hour before ;hc polls we're 10

first time it began TO appear that,

more than % per cent of those

posa!. As the polls closed ut sum
down, predictions were made that
the proposal would carry by about
20 votes or be lost by a small
margin.

ETIQUETTE IN
 HOLIDAY CARDS
 IS TAUGHT NOW
Why and Wherefore Ex- plained by Makers of
 Yule Greetings
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.--In other years, before it grew into Big Busi- ness, Christmas cards were those pretty little things on counters that you forgot about until the last minute then made raid on the dime store counters and the people got them only four days late.
 Now, however, the Yule card people are making a determined effort to educate New Workers in the why-and- wherefore q almost said care and feeding) of greeting cards at Christmas, and also they are sponsoring course of instruc- tion in the proper etiquette of said cards. This has been most pro- nounced in New York. s.f 5as.
 Onto the desks of all metropoli- tan editors now has fallen a mime ographed history of the Christmas card - fat manuscript that is filled with interesting dos and don'ts. For instance the simpler expressions are most popular this season. The English ''Cheerio" is used extensively, but the more formal French Noel" is fading out.
 Individually signed cards are in favor and just as correct ase print ed or engraved signatures. There is grave danger in the latter if the type doesn't blend harlnoniously with the background AS for color, blue is the dominant hue :. Stars and trees, say in white, red and gold, against a blue background, give an ideal combination. ..
 For absent friends who, perhaps, are in the chips and are therefore wintering in the South, or the tropics, special cards are to be found. These have 8 tropic atmos- phere, with waving frondS replac- ing toboggans in snowy back grounds. ,i,aG M Na a3 iso iG
 The sophisticated wit of the first repeal years is cut. : ! 1.-The pine branch and the henalock spray have replaced the cocktail shaker and the frosted glass. .'g Skiers, sil- houetted in black against a cobalt sky, and ice skaters swirling over mirrored lakes are high up in fa- vor. .. For the romantic minded there are love poems, with as much delicate sentiment as is required to thrill young hearts.a. . The mimeographed report points out. If you have any cynical illusions about romance waning after mar riage, you should see some of the new cards so popular this season. :"
 As usual, the Child-and- lamb motif is strongly represented in the religious selections. Cats, believe it or not, are gaining new friends at the Yule card season, demanding some of the recognition hitherto reserved for Scotties and penguinS. z .iOtller pets include squirrels, elephants, rabbits and birds.
 sts4 atz Lest we forget: All cards should be sent first class if possible-that is, Scent stamp for out of town; 2-cent if local : | {. It is eminently correct for married couples to sign their cards Bill and Jane" if they are being sent to close friends. :. Envelopes must be addressed pen and ink-never typed. ;. A widow may use her first name, as Bessie Jones, on cards only for her im- mediate friends and relatives. How ever, you should address her by her husbands name, such as Mrs. Charles Jones.
