Hopkins Paints Gloomy Pic

Washington, May 2O.-(AP)-South-
ern senators demanded elimination to-
day of regional differentials in WPA
pay in the event Congress enacts a
nationwide minimum wage.
Many southern legislators have cri-
ticized the wage-hour bill, which the
House will debate Monday, because
it does not provide lower wage scale
for the South The WPA, they point
ed out, bag a generally lower rate for
that area.
Their informal discussion of an
amendment to standardize WPA pay
schedules, if the House bill passes,
came as a Senate appropriations sub
committee gathered to approve the
$4,000, 100000 relief and public works
bill. The subcommittee meeting fol-
lowed statement by Harry Hopkins,
WPA administrator, that there was an
immediate need to increase WPA rolls
in all large industrial cities.
1--WE are going to have a serious
relief problem in the near future, y
Hopkins said, explaining that many
persons who lost their jobs few
weeks or months ago have exhausted
their resources.
Federal works relief rolls now list
100000 persons. The administrator
said that number soon would reach
100000 and possibly 100000. The
Chicago and Cleveland areas, he ad-
ded, might require some additional
aid because State relief funds have
been exhausted.

War Vets Prevail
In Their Demands
For Pension Hike

Washington, May 2O.-(AP)- War
veterans made a successful plea to a
Senate subcommittee today for a
liberalization of pensions for totally
and permanently disabled former
service men.
They asked a finance subcommittee
to approve a measure already passed
by the House increasing the minimum
monthly pension for non-service con-
nected disabled veterans from $50 to
$40 and shifting qualifications from an
average to an individual basis. The
subcommittee approved the legisla-
ton Immediately.
Willard Rice, spokesman for the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, said the
government could well afford the adj

pension increase of $4,000 totally dis
abled veterans in view of it's proposed
new $5OOO0OO,OO0 lending-spendins
program.

Paris. May 20-(AP)-France RELY

pact with Italy squarely up to Pre-
mier Mussolini.
Political informants made it clear
that negotiations, deadlocked since
May IL, will have to be reopened by
Italy
France seemed to have found the
formula she hoped would checkmatc
Italian efforts to use the Spanish
civil war as an excuse to break
Frances alliance with either Britain
or Russia. Frances acceptance of a
British plan for ending intervention
in the Spanish war assured her of
Britain's support. Shrould MussOlini
refuse to negotiate a friendship agree
ment with France on that basis, Bri-
tain could not hold France respon-
Uible.
In London, Great Britain called a
meeting of the non-intervention COM
mittee for May 26 in an effort to set
tie the French-Italian quarrel. Bri-
tain hopes to expedite the procedure
lcy which France would close the
Pyrennes frontier temporarily while
a non-intervention commission ar
ranges for withdrawal of foreign
fighters from Spain.
In this way it is hoped the way
will be smoothed for a French-Italian
friendship agreement.
