WPA WILL HIRE.
IN
JOB SLUMP WAR.
Senate Probe Told
Federal Aid Plans
By ROBERT A. McGILL


G.N.S.) Painting a gloomy pic
ture of economic conditions, Cor
rington Gill, assistant WPA ad.
ministrator, today forecast the
Federal relief agency will be re-
quired to employ an average of
100000 persons during the
winter months to take up the
slack caused by the business re-
cession.
Outlining WPA plans to help
meet the emergency in unemploy-
ment, Gill was one of the princi-
pal witnesses before the Senate's
investigation of business reels
sions and it's parent problems Of
unemployment and relief.
WORK ROLLS TO SWELL
Declaring that in recent months
the recession in business activity
has completely reversed the re-
covery movement" Gill said:
Under present plans and in
Structions, it is probable that
WPA employment will increase
to an average of about 1900, 900
in January and to an average of
1,s00,000 in February"
He added that he saw no i'm.
mediate indications that the relief
load will decrease during the win
ter months.
Gill added, however, that the
peak figure of 100000 will not be
sufficient to take care of the eSti-
mated demands on the agency in
absorbing those thrown out of
work in private industry and bust
ness.
From the estimated peak in
February, it will be necessary
to reduce WPA employment in
the following months in order
to keep within the present ap-
preparation" he said. This
will require that WPA employ
ment be reduced to an average
of 1,SOO,0 900 in March, 1,65O,00O
in April, 1850, 900 in May and
100000 in June"
Answering questions by Senator
Clark CD of Missouri, Gill said
there were two alternatives to the
problem: Either enlarge the WPA
program, or revert to direct
relief"

DETROIT, Jan. 4 G.N.SO
Moving to break the business re-
cesSion, the Hudson Motor Car
Company today announced new
low-priced car and unemployment
of 5000 men.
The new car is designed to com
pete with the Ford and Chevrolet,
it was said. The price was not

Hudson officials said prepara-
tions for the new car represented
an investment of $11,OOO,OOO and
the addition of 5000 men would
bring the total payroll to 10000.
1t also will add more than $780,
900 monthly to the payroll.
Speaking before a group of edi-
tors and publishers gathered,
A. E. Barit said:

regular employees to work dur
ing the next few weeks. These

MENTAL STUDY
IS ORDERED IN
SUDDEN M Owe
Defendant Cries as
Hearing Halts
BY CARROLL PEEKE

Trial before a court-martial at
lQuantico1 Va, was abruptly ended
today for Brig. Gen. Harold c.
Reisinger in a surprise move that
will send him to a Naval hospital
for mental observation.
Tears coursed down his face and
temporarily, at least, blotted out
the ignominy of the courC-martial
as they splashed against the eight
medals on his dress coat. The mo-
tion by Major Merritt Curtis indi.
Gated a doubt as to the accused
Marine Corp paymaster's mental
condition.
LOANS BROUGHT OUT
The motion came just as the
judge advocate had risen to
arraign the pay officer on charges
of having padded" his travel
accounts, and on supplementary
charges that he had induced
junior Officers to loan him money
and become sureties on his notes.
Controversy over the admissibility
of the supplemental charges,
brought about when Major Curtis
pointed out that no regulations
prohibit officers from seeking
loans from their colleagues ended
with a denial of his motion to
dismiss them.
AS the judge advocate rose,
Major Curtis quietly interposed:
DEFENDANT WEEPS
II desire to make motion to
the court. I request the court
to arrest proceedings and grant
a postponement and order the
accused to be placed under med
ical observation, to determine II
he has the mental capacity to
conduct his defense"
In silence as tense as any
which has gripped the spectators
since the bitter undercurrents of
enmity have surged across the
counsel tables, General Reisinger
burst into tears and bowed his
head. The judge advocate paused
with the arraignment in his hand.
Slowly he granted the motion and
then sat down.
OLD FEUD Barred
A feeling of enmity between
two generals of the Marine Corps
the result of a quarrel between
two young lieutenants almost 81
years ago-is alleged to have been
a factor in the filing of charges
against General Reisinger.
A far-flung investigation of the
Navy Department and the Marine
Corps may be one result.
Previously seven members of the
court, five generals, a captain in
the Navy and a colonel of Ma
rineS, heard defense counsel charge
there had been illegal and i'm
proper dissemination of informa-
ton" in the case.
Papers marked "confidential"
by the Navy Department have
been shown to persons not author.
lied to see them, it was openly
charged by Major Curtis.
! PROBE EXPECTED
Such a serious charge, it was
learned, may be investigated by
the office of the Secretary of the
Navy.
The court also heard one of its
own members, Brig. Gen. Douglas
C. McDougal, commandant Of the
Marine base at Paris Island, S.
c., accused of being decidedly
hostile" to the defendant.
General McDoUgaI denied any
prejudice, and was permitted to
remain on the court. Asked con-
cerning the charge, General Rel.
singer said:
II don't want to discuss 1t.
But it goes way Blackjack to
1901 or 1902. But I am sur
prised that, in view of the past.
General McDougal is permitted

Danish WHITES
FROM ALL ASIA,
SUETSUGU ASKS
Urges War, If Need
Be, to Do 1t
By KENNETH T. DOWNS


PARIS, Jan. 4 (I.N.S).-A bold
and frank warning that Japan
seeks to Danish the white races
from Asia once and for all was
voiced today by Admiral Nobu'
masa suetsugu, former COM
mander of the Imperial combined
fleet, who, in 1924, startled the
world with the declaration Tokyo
was preparing for war with the
United States.
suetsugu was appointed Minis
ter of the Interior in the cabinet
of Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye on December 13 and is
generally regarded as the latter's
coming successor. For many
years he has been a member OF
the Supreme War Council.
Suetsugd's utterance was made
IN an interview with the infuen'
tial japanese political review
"Kaizo" and repeated in full by
the entire Paris press.
WHITE YOKE MUST GO
"The yoke of the white races
over the yellow must disappear"
slletsugu said "Tnez nercar1-
tile interests of whites must
vanish in the sun of Japans
mission"
Suetsugu's latest declaration
duplicated in all its intensity the
furore caused by his blast of 1884,
when he contemptuously told the
white race it can no longer con-
slider itself superior to the yellow.
In the interview he added:
when the whites are ban
ished from Asia, am con-
vinced the yellow race will en-
10y that happiness which heaven
reserves for it, and the end OF
the hegemony Of the whites will
really inaugurate the era OF
Justice and humanity of which
Europeans and Americans are
constantly speaking.
st do not fear to insist in the
face of the entire world that
the white yoke must go. Natural
", rapid realization of this
liberation will bring general
conflagration, but whatever pre-
cautions we take the result will
be the Same-a general con-
flagration.
"STOP BRITISH AID"
"To break Chinese resistance,
British aid must be absolutely
stopped, even at the cost of war.
Necessity ordains the means. We
do not wish to believe that
Americans will consent to be
taken in tow by Britain. If we
tackle Britain with our arms,
the present events in Asia will
have immense repercussions in
world history.
"No one can say at present at
what rhythm those events will
develop.
"Thus fate wills it - the es-
sential is to fulfill our mission
without stopping to think Of
secondary considerations.
"The economic strength of
Japan exceeds anything the
whites can imagine"

The selection of summer ward
robe, especially for the working girl,
presents a serious problem. Most
dresses after q few broiiing hours
look as though they had been Wruhg
through wringer and not even
hung up to dry. A careful choice OF
fabrics and styles will be help In
avoiding this appearance.
First of all, limit yourself 10 wash
dresses almost entirely during the
hottest part of the summer. Buy them
with an eye to easy laundering. Sew
eral dresses that can be rinsed out
at moments notice, dried In q
few minutes and ironed with little
or no effort will serve you better
than five or SIX frocks that must be
sent to the cleaner or which are q
real ch0re to launder y0urseT. On
these days when we go around In
a perpetual drip, 1t Is almost impos-
sible to make dress do more fhan
one day without rinsing 1t out, but
q clever collection of easily laun-
dered dresses will save your leisure
hours from Tubing and ironing
drudgery.
There are number Of fabrics on
the market today which are said
to be "crush-resistant. How well
these materials make good their
claim Is a matter Of opinion but
they are especially treated to hold
up under trials OF summer weather.
Washable prints are very wise buys
for the working girl since the print
has a tendency to make creases less
noticeable. Light colors always look
cooler In summer than dark or
bright hues and we feel, to some ex-
tent at least, as cool as we look,
