eating unemployment and relief plans
to hear testimony by Lamont du Pont
and Myron C. Taylor, it was an

Chairman Byrnes said his commit
tee would start hearings Tuesday.
with Federal statistical experts out
lining the extent of the unemploy-
ment problem.
President William Knudsen of Gen.
eral Motors, whose company has
announced the lay-off of 10000 men,
has been asked to appear Thursday
Senator Byrnes. saying the COM
mittee was seeking information on
how long the economic downturn
might continue, said Mr.. du Pont and
Mr.. Taylor would be asked to testify
some time during the week of jan
uary 8.
The South Carolina Senator re-
called Mr.. du Points recent speech
advocating business Government
program for reviving industry, and
said the Wilmington manufacturer
might elaborate in testimony before
the committee. Mr.. Taylor, as pres
ident of the United States Steel Co.,
is expected to give information on
the extent Of unemployment in steel
and to outline any suggestions he may
have for increasing employment.
Other u,itnoccoc to ho 1oo,l Cn~oto,
Byrnes said, include President j. J.
Pelley of the American Association
OF Railroads. c. T. Murchison, repre-
senting the textile industry: Chairman
Virgil Jordan of the National Indus
trial Conference Board; Louis Ker-
stein. Boston merchant R. E. Henry,
president of the Southern Cotton
Manufacturers Association. and Will
son Compton of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association.
Senator Byrnes said his committee
would seek to determine the extent
and character of unemployment.
would study present Government relief
methods and would seek to find meth
ods Of eliminating unemployment.
Because of new problems created
by the recession, he said, the COM
mittee probably will seek information
on its effects and make a tentative
report to Congress before President
Roosevelt makes his relief appropria-
tlons recommendation in March.
Earlier last week. Senator Hatch
Democrat. of New Mexico, suggested
that Assistant Attorney General Rob-
ert H. Jackson might be called before
the committee to elaborate on his
recent speeches denouncing big busi-
ness
Other committee members said yes
terday. however, that this probably
would not be done. because Mr.. JACK
sons speeches dealt primarily with
the question of monopoly rather than
unemployment.

M we discover a new use for
" " a familiar product. That's
what happened the other
day, when We were looking over some
samples of Well-known building
paper which comes with an electro
copper coating. This product is fa-
miliarly used over rough boarding on
side walls, before shingles, clapboard,
stucco or brick veneer are applied;
also for Waterproofing roofs and lin
ing rough flooring before the finish
flooring is laid down. 1t even is used
over sillS and other woodwork eX-
posed at grade, we know. Reason:
The copper acts as protection
against dry rot, fungi and termites.
But the stuff looked so pretty, aside
from its utilitarian aspect, that we
asked: Couldn't it be used as an
interior finish, like wall paper?" And
were told that it not only could be,
but was
Have you any place in your home
where the warm FURNISHED color of
copper would enhance a wall? II so,
investigate this building paper. for,
properly hung, it would be an orig
inal note in any decorative scheme, but
especially the modern. The paper
comes in rolls so inches wide and 100
feet long, sufficient to cover 600
square square feet of wall. which is a
lot more than you probably would use
iy, eiuoy, n,,t
would be willing to cut it for you,
selling half or quarter of roll. It
costs approximately $40 a roll.
The paper can be hammered to give
coppersmith effect, pebbled rather
than smooth If satin smooth effect
is desired. it is necessary to cut the
paper down the middle, applying 1t in
strips 30 inches wide, for there is
line of indentation down the center
Of the roll. "gripper marks" necessary
in the manufacture of the paper.
Sometimes these indentations are in a
perfectly straight line, however, and
pok like the lap between two strips
of paper, so they need not be trimmed.
The paper should be hung with a
waterproof glue. for safety's sake. par
ticularly if used in the basement
playroom, where it is especially appro-
pirate. After it is on the wall a
clear lacquer finish should be sprayed
on. so that air won't turn the pinkish
brown Of its hue dark green, as it
does all copper. Also, the humidifl-
cation which is introduced in modern
homes would discolor the paper if the
lacquer were omitted
The copper-covered paper would
be particularly good in dining room,
wood paneled almost to the ceiling,
where it would gleam like a wide
decorative band around the top of
the wall. It also is an original thought
for foyer or den-some place
where it would not hit you between
the eyes with its warm shine.
