RELIEF BURDEN
 GETS TOO BIG
 FOR MICHIGAN
One Person in Every Six on Rolls; DetrOit's
 Plight Serious
BY HENRY ALEXANDER { United Press Staff Correspondent

Detroit, May g. - CUP) - This fourth largest city in the nation, often recognized as the barometer of business and industry, faces a critical relief situation due to the recession in the automobile indus try. Officials are looking toward Washington for assistance.
 Not only Detroit but most of the other metropolitan centers Of Michigan are hard-hit. They are suffering because the automobile industry which supports them in suffering. The need for direct fed- eral aid is imperative according to Mayor Richard Reading of Detroit and city officials throughout the state.
 The Detroit welfare load has been increasing for the past sev- eral weeks at the rate of l,200 cases day. G. R. Harris, director of welfare, reported to Mayor Reading that the relief load now is past 35,000 cases, with no indi- cation of slackening. Another 47,- GOO persons are employed by WPA according to Harris.
 Operate on Day Basis
 "Relief cash is being handled in Detroit on a day-to-day basis be- cause the means of raising money have been exhausted" Reading said. "The state is able to advance Detroit only $1,800000 of an esti- mated $5,100000 which is required between now and June"
 Harris explained that he did not see how the state and industrial cities could handle the situation without direct Federal aid.
 The statewide situation was in- dicated in welfare reports that one of every six persons in Michigan is on relief In Flint. where the auto industry is the lifeblood of the city, one of every three families receives welfare aid.
 Murphy Makes Appeal
 Gov Frank Murphy has made several pleas to Washington. He received the promise from Presi- dent Roosevelt that the admins tration would present to Congress a comprehensive picture of the re- lief situation across the whole na- ton. with emphasis on Michigan.
 What Michigan needs" Murphy said, lis direct relief for employ able who are unable to get jobs in private industry or with WPA."
 Three hundred Michigan cities and towns joined the governors appeal to Washington for relief Officials explained that the WPA was not flexible enough to adjust itself to the rapidly mounting re- Eef requirements and that local sponsors are unable to provide eaough projects to give work to al employable out of work.
 The relief load in Detroit, Flint, and Grand Rapids, the states three largest cities, increased 10 per cent during the past month, it was shown in figures released by the state relief administration.

New England Firms
 Encourage Research
Region=Wide Cooperative Program Attempted for First Time in History; Inspection ofPlants Planned

plant and institutional laboratories, luncheon and dinner meetings with both researchers and industrial eX- ecutives emphasizing the contribu- 'tions made by research to the de- velopment of new industrial mater ials, methods and products. Huh dreds of New England induStrialists, college officials and research author ities and engineering consultants are expected to attend the six meetings.
 A feature of the six meetings will be the exhibits of new products de- veloped by New England manufac- turerS through the use of research These exhibits will represent the ad- vances which have been made dur. ing the past year by representative industries and will also serve as con- crete examples of the type of gain New England manufacturers may make through greater use of research facilities.
 A joint statement issued today by Frederick w. Bliss, president of the Engineering Societies of New Eng land, Inc, and R. w. Sulloway, chairman of the New England coun- cil's industrial committee, said:
 Research creates industry and develops new possibilities of employ ment. It widens the horizon of the manufacturer, discovers new and better production methods and equipment, makes possible the devel- opment of old products, and brings prices and goods within the reach of more and more consumers.
 We feel that research is of the utmost importance to the mainten- ance and improvement of New Eng lands position in the manufacture of quality goods, and that all of our indStrialiSts, large and small, should realize the vital necessity of en- ploying research methods.
 While perhaps only the largest and most successful of our manufac- turing establishments can maintain their own laboratories, smaller plants have available to them the ie'b1A AoeNA Cc ol iiidlly 1NCW EIlB ldllO educational institutions and research consultants."

JUSTICE GORDON SETS
SCOTT CASE OCTOBER
Rule to Show Cause Request Is
Withdrawn by Secretary
of Howard q.

Justice Peyton Gordon. in United
States District Court, today set for
hearing on October II the case of
Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard
University, who sought by injunction
to prevent his removal from the insti-
tuition on Thursday, the end of the
fiscal year.
Offlcials explained that the rule to
show cause request was withdrawn
Justice Gordon directed that the case
be heard on its merits in mid October
rather than have lengthy argument
on the rule now, with the pressure Of
business incident to the end of the
term.
Mr.. Scott contended that the Board
Of Trustees of the university was at
tempting illegally, through its order OF
April II, to place him on the retired
list at the age Of IS years, rather than
wait until what he said was the re-
Quired age Of 6S years.

Conservative Youth.

In theory, the members of the younger
generation are radical. During the past
five years they have been told again
and again that what was good enough
for their parents is not good enough for
themselves. Some, of course, have ac-
cepted the obligation to participate in
the campaign to reform everything
under the sun. Others are conserva-
tive. The Young Communist League
and the Young Peoples Socialist League
have had encouragement from the New
Deal, but they also have had resistance
from more than a few of those whose
support they reasonably might have
expected Among the symptoms of I'M
willingness to cooperate in the revolu-
tionary movement have been the bur-
lesque Roosevelt for King" campaign
and the hidden taxes protest" of the
students of Rensselaer, Polytechnic In
stitute at Troy, N. Y. Both gestures
were sponsored by collegiate youth,
commonly believed to be "disillusioned"
about traditional ideals
Hope, therefore, exists for "a swing
to the right" among young people.

Starting Right.

Elmer F. Andrews, administrator Of
the wage-hour law, is displaying a
measure of courage and good judgment
in deciding to attempt initial applica-
ton of the labor standards to such
industries as those of textiles, tobacco
and cotton garment manufacture.
Apparently. if industry committees are
to be named in these three classifcations
in the near future, 1t is the hope of the
administrator that somewhat better than
minimum standards may be promulgated
for them by the end of October, at which
time the law becomes operative. Each
is an uneven" industry m the sense
that relatively high standards now main
tanned in some sections are badly under
cut in other areas, condition repeatedly
being made even worse than normal in
recent weeks by wave of wage slashes
in Southern textile centers.
Under the wage floor set by the law,
Is cents per hour as minimum in the
first year and possibly more If the
industry committees and the admins
traitor concur in a belief that such a
higher level could be maintained, this
practice so enervating to whole indus
tries and whole communities would be
prohibited
That they are enervating practices
has been demonstrated to any one
thinking clearly about Americas eco
nomic and social problems In late
years, emphasized most recently by the
report of the National Emergency Coun-
Gil on the South.
If such as these evils can be corrected
through the operation of the labor
standards law, then it will be rewarding
the faith of its sponsors. 1t is the re-
sponsibility of Administrator Andrews
and his aides. however, to see that the
cure does not become more disruptive
than the original disease.

Wheat and Markets.

The possibility of a new marketing
agreement between the great wheat
producing nations of the world is pro-
posed as result of this years bumper
chop. The Department OF Agriculture
is definitely disturbed by the prospect
of hundred million bushels of Ameri-
can wheat which must be sold abroad to
prevent collapse of the domestic market.
The situation presents a crucial test
for the production control policies of
the administration, and large crops in
other export areas are only one factor
in the problem. The unsettled condi-
ton of the world markets and declines
in purchasing power abroad are others
to be considered.
Two proposals have been suggested
One. is to lend money to China to buy
American wheat. Conditions in China
at the moment are not such as would
guarantee either the effectiveness or
the safety of such loans.
The other is more dangerous. It is
to provide temporary system of ex-
port subsidies to enable American ex-
porters to undersell competitors abroad.
This system is known as trade promotion
in the country in which it originates
But the rest of the world calls 1t dump
ing. The United States has been the
victim of dumping before. Regardless
of whose OK is being gored, it is method
Of competition which is unethical by all
the rules of American business.
Rapid and definite steps should be
taken toward quota agreement among
the wheat producing nations. But dan
gerous and ephemeral schemes, while
they may help over the rough spots,
are to be avoided as plague.

American Mercury for August, says:
without central organization, without
the imagination and color to make con-
servatism appealing, without any con-
sistent vigilance in opposing the coups
of the Reds. non-radical youth is stead
lily losing ground In its struggle against
the insolent Communist faction" But
the same observer comedies: There is
reinsurance in the fact that the num-
bers aie still on the side of non radical
ism" He concludes his survey with the
declaration: "A dazzling political future
awaits the youth leader who can trans
form conservative young America into
an articulate and masterful organized
formation" The more realistic revolu-
tionaries probably would agree in part
with such a prophecy. They fear moth
ing else so much as the appearance of a
Napoleon.
But 1t is inevitable that sooner or
later the conservative point of view will
be expressed by somebody equipped by
nature, training and experience to rep
resent the two-thirds of the popula-
ton whose interest is not directly cor
related to turning the country upside
down. "A tiny handful of Communist
and Socialist youth-agitators" will not
take over" the United States unchal-
lenged. Even with the aid Of the So
called liberals they cannot establish
a proletarian dictatorship in nation
predominantly middle-class. The more
strenuous their efforts, the more GER
TAIN the more powerful. the more effec-
tive the reaction will be-. 1t may not
need a captain. Perhaps all that is
required is the application Of old-fash-
Toned personalized democracy.
