the pay roll.
He predicted that an average
work week between 18 and 20 hours
would keep an employe in the ne
cessities of life, adding, however,
that such a setup should be looked
upon only as temporary and that
manufacturers should strive to
provide more hours at the average
pay during the recession.
"a greater number can be
cared for more adequately, in
less time, and with less expense
with direct relief during times of
stress" Biggers said.
Biggers stressed the need of "co
operative effort and planning"
for unemployment as outlined by
President Roosevelt. He said:
"My hope is that you will
recommend the creation of such
an agency to crystalline a re-
employment plan, based upon
the facts that your delibera-
tions and our census supply.
ALL GROUPS PROPOSED
ITO obtain this cooperative

struction of two new $70,000,OoC

House would reject the proposal.
AIR FUNDS SOUGHT

Representative Boileau (RO OF

sentatives Jed johnson (RO OF

Cd of Texas, is leading the at

said he had prepared an amend
ment calling for a $3,1o0,OOO in
crease in the $44,2o0,ooO appropria-
ton for naval aviation. The IN
crease, he said, would equal the
sum authorized in the bill for lay
ing the keels of the two ships.
PROPOSAL FOUGHT

posal on the ground that add

:: 1.-THE Navy has not requested
these additional planes, nor has
Congress authorized them," he
said.
Our primary need is to con-
tinue our replacement program

Trammel act. These two battle
ships are absolutely essential to
our national defense and I be-
lieve the wisdom of Congress
will not permit any attempts to
eliminate funds for their con-
struction."

velt said today at his press con-
ference he was talking about
banks which did not undertake
management and indicated that
Wall Street had nothing to fear
on that score.
UTILITIES MAINLY
2. The Misrepresentation that
his remarks about abolition of
holding companies might, for
instance, apply to such an in
stitution as the Pennsylvania
railroad. The President said he
obviously had been talking
about public utilities holding
companies in particular.
8. The charge that he had
been inconsistent by calling for
increased prices in 1888 and
later saying they were TOO high.
Mr.. Roosevelt said this was not
a fair statement of the case.

HOUSE LEADERS
DEMAND ACTION
ON HOUSING BILL
Senate Approval Due
Early Next Week

G.N.S0 Administration chief
tains today drove for speedy en-
actment of the Wagner-Steagall
housing bill, which is expected to
start a wave of homebuilding
throughout the nation and put
thousands of.men to work.
House leaders planned to seek
approval of their branch for the
Senate-House conference report to-
day. On the Senate side it was
indicated a quick vote there would
be sought, perhaps next Monday.
LODGE PROTESTS
Though the Senate is locked In
a bitter filibuster against the anti
lynching bill, the conference re-
port on the housing bill is privi-
legged business and it can be called
up without displacing the pending
measure.
Notice was served by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge (R) of Massa-
chusetts that he would wage a
fight for restoration Of his "pre-
vailing-wage" amendment, which
the conferees knocked out.
GENERAL AGREEMENT
Lodge, however, admitted he
was not optimistic over his chances
for restoring r g his amendment,
though it was adopted by the Sen
ate, 81 to II, when it originally
passed the bill.
On other features of the bill
there was little dispute in either
branch Of Congress. There was
general agreement on boons pro-
vided for prospective small home
builders, the "ittle fellows" who
want to own their homes. AS re-
ported the bill authorizes the Fed
eral Housing Administration to in
sure mortgages up to 80 per cent

Displaying the endurance Of a

day completed his first filibuster-

! Discussions regarding the pro
posed super-warships, which would
be virtual floating fortresses
capable of cruising huge stretches
of ocean without visiting their
bases, are being carried out
through diplomatic channels.
J. S. WANTS BIG ONES
The purpose of the talks is to
reach an Anglo-American-French
agreement for abandonment of
the 35,O00-ton naval limitation
imposed by the London treaty of
1896.
Construction of 39,OOO-ton and
40,O0O,ton battleships also is
under consideration, it was
learned. The American Navy,
however, has expressed prefer
ence for 43,000.ton craft with
four triple turrets mounting 16-
inch guns.
American officials were de-
scribed as confident there would
be no difficulty in getting these
huge fighting ships through the
Panama Canal for service on
either American coast.
CONFERENCE MAY BE CALLED
Once the three nations reach an
agreement among themselves, it
was understood, formal naval
conference may be called to induce
other nations, particularly Japan,
Italy and Soviet Russia, to adhere
to the maximum limitation.
Revelation of the discussions
was accompanied by disclosure i'll
Whitehall circles that the British
government has instructed Ambas-
sador Sir Robert Craigie in Tokyo
to ask the Japanese government
point-blank whether it is planning
to exceed the 35,000-ton limit in
construction of new battleships.
