works purposes as outlined by the President in his message to the congress. This program is neces- sary and will be of great bene- fit. Action is necessary to start business and employment upward. We may regret the necessity, but 1t would be wrong to blind our selves to it.
 At this time I should like to commend the wisdom of the Presi- dents appeal for 8 united na- tiOnal will to work together, with out bitterness and unkindness, in developing our rich resources. I want to add my own admonition against any tendency to capital ize the present situation from partisan motives, to assail the President and belittle his purposes. He is facing the facts of today courageously, and, believe, prop erly. Private funds must go to work as we'll as government funds; we must go ahead as a united people.

Neighbors at- tracted to McLachlan's home earlier by cloud of smoke said that they found him burning blood-spattered clothing. McLachlan denied hav- ing molested the girl. He was held for questioning. Jenny left home to play with children in the neigh boFhood shortly before noon yester- day. A group of neighbors started search for her at dusk. She was criminally assaulted and slugged on the head, authorities said.
 Smoke Gives Clue
 Shortly before discovery of the body, at about midnight, the search CTS noticed smoke pouring from windows of McL,achlan's house near the Moreno home. Thinking the house was on fire, they hammered on the door but said McLachlan re- fused to let them enter.
 A deputy sheriff was called and he, upon gaining entrance, said he found McLachlan burning blood stained garments. They were his own.
 When word came of the discovery of Jenny's body a crowd gathered quickly. McLachlan was roughly jostled as he was led to a sheriff's car under guard of deputies.

SLUM CLEARANCE PRO.
GRAM The U. S. Housing Au-
thority with the authorization to
lend up to S8OO,OOO,O0O for Stun
clearance projects, expects to be-
gin operating rapidly. Many de-
lays have been caused by breaking
ground, in perfecting building
plans, acquiring land, and such
things, but the Authority expects
to speed things up now.
FLOOD CONTROL LEGISLA-
TON The Federal Government
with little aid from the local gov
ernments, is to start a five-year
national program Of SS375, 900, 600
for building and maintaining reser-
voirs, levees and flood walls. The
law does not carry any appropria-
| ton, the amount is authorized in
the new Flood Control Act but fin
ancing of the projects must come
from later appropriation and allo-
cations from WPA. The local gov
eminent will not be forced to pay
anything except for local work on
flood walls and levees, for which
they must furnish property rights.
RELIEF APPROPRIATIONS -
So, $40, 100000 will be loaned by the
Government to provide recovery.
Although the money will first go to
the people on Federal work relief
rolls, over half of the amount is to
60 for purchases Of bricks, steel
and other building materials, for
farmers who cooperate with the
AAA program or want electricity
in their homes, and for assorted
government agency expenses. The
objective Of this appropriation is
that while helping the unemploy-
ed there will develop line Of jobs
by stimulating private business.
BUILDING PROGRAM ~ Two
hundred and twenty-one Federal
Buildings representing an outlay
of SCI, 900 900 were under construc-
ton today or close to the ground
breaking stage. Twenty-seven
other projects representing an out
lay of S3,572,O 900 are in the specifi-
cation stage and are soon to be
placed on the market; SO others
representing an expenditure of
$50, 100000 are il the drawing
stage and are expected to be plac-
ed on the market during the sum-
mer. These 1886 projects are part
of the building programs authoriz-
ed by Congress.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE
Cited by A.A.A. Official as a Grow
ing Threat i'm Many States

Early developments in the more
than forty state legislatures now in
session show that drives are under
way in many sections of the coun-
try for passage of blanket compul-
sory automobile liability insurance,
according to L. r. Lewis, president
of Delaware Motor Club AAA. Bills
/ for providing for blanket insurance
( have been introduced in California,
Colorado, North Carolina and
Washington, among others; special
committees are studying the mat
ter ID Maine, New Hampshire and
New York, while a variety of sim
liar schemes are being agitated in
other states.
The revival of this business of
compulsory liability insurance is
almost foregone conclusion every
other year when the legislative
mills 60 into full operation" Mr..
Lewis commented. Each time it
has been necessary only to point
out its many disadvantages in or
der to defeat it.
IN place of such blanket insur-
ance, the A.AA. and its clubs have
for many years advocated the prin-
ciples of Safety Responsibility
which requires evidence Of ability
to respond in damages only after a
driver has been convicted of a ser
ious violation or has failed to pay
a damage judgment.
The Safety-Responsibility bill is
a proven, effective safety measure;
compulsory insurance does not
even pretend to be, as it is COM
pensation measure only. Safety
Responsibility places a burden only
on the careless and financially ir-
responsible drivers; compulsory in
surance bears down on careful and
reckless drivers alike.
Furthermore, compulsory insur-
ance is an open invitation to fraud,
faxed claims and resultant increas-
ed premiums.
Insofar as highway safety is
concerned, obviously the best
course to follow is universal adop-
ton Of the Safety-Responsibility
Bill; strengthening amendments in
states where the law is below
standard; and above all-strict
enforcement of its provisions"

other kindred nightmarish thoughts
obscure ones vision to such an ex-
tent that it is impossible to see the
facts Of the matter clearly.
A Bill, similar to the Townsend

Government in 1886, when the gov

state financially, and the standard
Of living was far below that Of
many foreign countries.
Within Nineteen Months after
the adoption of the Transaction
Tax the public debt was entirely
wiped out, the salaries of school
teachers and other government
employees were increased 10 per
cent, and the standard of living
improved more than 40 per cent.

lied to buy surplus fresh veget-
ables during periods of market
gluts to aid growers in - north
