In the event, however, that the

League circles here feel that the

PENSION COSTS
HELD IN ERROR
Survey Reveals Presidents
Advisers Have Placed
Figure Too Low.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Social
Science Research Council today pub
lished study Of old-age pensions
indicating that President Roosevelt's
advisers have underestimated the cost
Of the New Deals pension program.
Without going into an analysis from
the dollars s-and-cents standpoint, the
study asserts. there has been a mis-
calculation in the number of persons
who will be eligible for pension pay
ments.
The error grows larger with the
passage Of years, the study says, until
in 1880 there will be more than twice
as many pensioners as the Presidents
Committee on Economic Security has
estimated.
Drain on Reserve Fund.
If the study's conclusion is correct,
it will mean pension payments much
larger than reckoned by the admins
tration, with a consequent unantici-
pated drain on the reserve fund from
which pensons are to be paid.
It will also mean that thousands Of
workers heretofore not considered as
coming within pension guarantees
farm hands, donestics and persons
who work for themselves independent
Twill be covered by the benefits. not
to as great degree as those who work
the year around in industries covered
by the pension system, but to an ex-
tent suff1cient to add something to
their old-age income.
The Presidents committee made its
mistake in failing to consider as pen
sion eligibles persons who shift back
and forth during the year from in
dustries covered by the pension plan
to industries not covered by the law,
explains the study, which is part Of
book, Labor in the United States"
written by w. S. Woytinsky.

TESCHEN CESS|ON

WARSAW, Oct. 1.-The government
announced today that Czechoslovakia
had capitulated fully to Poland's ulti-
matum demanding cession Of Teschen
Sileasia and that Teschen itself would
be delivered to Poland by 2 a. m. Sun
day g a. m, E. S. T).
Czechoslovakia apparently accepted
the Polish demands just a few mo-
ments before expiration of a deadline
Warsaw had set in an ultimatum
threatening invasion of the area, which
has been Czechoslovakia's since 1919.
AS a result of the capitulation Po-
land will receive within the next 10
days an area of about 800 square miles
with a population of about 100000
Poles.
Crowds poured into the streets of
all Polish towns today to cheer, wave
flags and demonstrate their Joy at the
acceptance by Czechoslovakia of Po-
lands territorial demands.
Whole Nation Celebrates.
Continuous celebrations took place
all over the country, but were most
enthusiastic in villages and towns ad-
joining the Czechoslovak border.
In Polish Teschen, where the Olsa
River has divided the town between
Poland and Czechoslovakia for 20
years, all white and red goods disap-
peared from the shops.
Everybody wanted to have a Polish
flag for tomorrow, when Polish troops
will start across the bridge to occupy
the Czechoslovak part Of the town.
Barricades erected by the Czecho-
slovaks on the bridge already had
been removed, and a Czech general
was on the scene to superintend with
drawal of the Prague governments
troops.
The popular demonstrations broke
loose shortly after p. m. e a. M, E.
s. to, when the government an
nounced Czechoslovakia's surrender.
Remaining parts of the Teschen
and Freistadt districts would be evacu-
ated by October 10.

Senate Agriculture Committee.
ry the Associated Press.
Senator Smith. Democrat, Of South
Carolina, an intended victim of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's party purge, warned
Secretary Wallace last night that the
administration farm program would
be seriously jeopardized' unless the
Government met demands for more
cotton aid.
Speaking for half q dozen Senators
and others who attended q conference
at the Capitol. he wrote Secretary
Wallace after lesser Agriculture De-
partment officials had refused the
groups demands.
During the conference, he stormed
at Harry Brown, Assistant Secretary
Of Agriculture, and Jesse w. Tapp, ag-
ricultural adjustment administrator
I'VE aren't going to solve this by
standing around and raising our eye
brows," Senator Smith said. I'VE are
up against the American farmer"
Il hope you don't think the Depart
ment Of Agriculture is against the
farmer" Mr.. Brown interjected.
Il sometimes do," the Senator shot
back.
Demands Loan Increase.
He demanded in his letter to Secre-
tary Wallace that the present Govern
ment loan on the 1888 cotton crop be
increased from 8.3 cents a pound to
more than II cents, or that cotton
growers be offered an additional Gov
eminent subsidy payment of cents a
pound.
Mr.. Brown, representing Secretary
wallace. who was out of the city, told
the conference the cotton loan rate
had been fixed at 83 cents because
in the long run the Department of Ag-
riculture felt that would be better for
the farmers themselves, as well as the
Government"
He said the Government already
held 100000 bales Of cotton under
loans and that high loan rate would
cause more cotton to be diverted from
trade channels into Government hold
ings.
May Withdraw Wheat.
Mr.. Brown told the Southern Sena-
tors loan rate Of S3 cents a pound
on cotton was comparable to the rate
of Government loans on this years
wheat CROP
There was no indication that any
change was contemplated In the wheat
loan rate, but during the day the
Agriculture Department announced
that wheat growers would be per-
mitted to withdraw high protein wheat
and high quality durum wheat from
storage under loans for sale at pre-
miums, If the loan wheat were re-
placed by wheat Of the same general

STATE HOME WORK
 OUTLOOK PLEASES
Better Industrial Condi= tiOns Noted - Workers
 Environment Inspected

Hartford, March 21-Connecticut's drive for better conditions in indus trial home work is meeting with considerable success according to report submitted today to Commis- sioner Joseph M. Tone by the fac tory inspection division of the State Department of Labor.
 Under the terms of the Act con- corning industrial home work which went into effect on July 1st of last year, 123 permits have been issued to 30 employers, the report reveals. A twenty-five dollar fee was col- lected from each of the employers permitted to distribute work which individuals perform in their homes.
 Commissioner Tone, in comment ing upon the report, declared that much progress has been made since 1885 when the Department began to investigate the conditions in which approximately 1000 persons made industrial products.
 There is more to be done in this field" he said, but things have improved markedly. The drop from 1000 persons to 123 is cheering. Most of the 1000 obtained factory employment when they were no longer allowed to process material at home.
 "The 123 are persons who because of injury, non-contagious illness or old age would be hard put to go to factories every day but who are able to earn wages by home pro- duction."
 The status of every employer who applied for a permit was investigat- ed by a Labor Department repre- sentative to determine whether such home processing is necessary and customary in his industry, the re- port states. Home environment of the potential workers was also in- spected. After thorough investiga- tion, IA requests for permits were denied.
 Industrial products made by this type of labor include: garters, dolls bodies, baseballs, shirts, hats, ties, leather goods and fishing tackle.
