ment development.
The chief executive remarked
that relief rolls would not show
declines as fast as private employ
ment increased, when his attention
was called to labor department
figures showing unemployment Of
100000 persons since last June.
He said that production in most
industries increases faster than
re-emplovment and added that this
situation was a factor Of labor
with which the government was
concerned. He explained that the
number of persons seeking work
was increasing every hour because
of the natural increase in popula-
ton.
Mr.. Roosevelt believed that
Georgia. his adopted state, would
cooperate with the federal govern
ment in the public works program.
At the previous press conference,
he emphatically stated that Geor-
gia would not get another red cent
of federal emergency money un-
less it changed it's laws so that it
MIGHT share directly in costs of the
projects.

completed that adjoining real es-
tate values had increased to the

FRESH CREWS THROWN INTO
BATTLE AGAINST CALIFORNIA
FIRE IN PERIL AS WINDS SHIFT
Brush Blaze Remains Out
of Control; Seek to
Save Homes
By LEO BARON
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26. (UP)
Changing winds hampered fire,
fighters last night as they strug,
gled to control a roaring brush
fire which was attacking with new
savagery two canyons leading to
palatial homes of movie stars and
millionaires.
Fires already had swept the
Santa Monica mountains, destroy
ing several hundred homes and
cabins.
With unpredictable winds blow
ing first one way and then an
other. the fire spread through dry
brush in Sullivan and Vaudeville
canyons just north of Sunset bou-
levard between the exclusive resi-
Dental districts of Bel-Air and
Brentwood.
Fresh men were sent to aug
ment crews headed by Fire Chief
r. ]. Scott stationed at the two
canyone. Most of the reserves
were sent to the head of Mande-
vile canyon, at the lower reach of
which stand the homes of Shirley
Temple and w. c. Fields.
Leaping out of Rustic canyon,
where fremen last night made q
losing stand, the flames crept over
the ridge into Sullivan and then,
carried by a shifting wind, roared
on into Vaudeville, where frelines
were hastily reformed.
Scott, worn from more than 48
sleepless hours, summoned an ad-
ditional 100 men in an attempt to
repel the new danger.
Elsewhere in the southern Cali
fornia area, where brush fires had
ragged for nearly 70 hours, the
situation was described as vastly
improved with most blazes under
control. Reports were denied that
Crestline village, in the San Ber-
nardino mountains, where nearly
1000 residents and refugees had
faced repeated threats, was men,
aced anew.
Estimates of total property DAM
age ranged up to $4,000, 900.
In the Santa Monica mountains,
the fire was burning briskly over
a seven-mile front after earlier
denuding more than 10000 acres
extending west to the ocean. Chief
concern was felt along the south
east front because of its proximity
to Brentwood, Belair and West
wood.
The swirling flames were a
source Of constant peril to the men
fighting them. Deputy Chief Hen
rv R. Boone and 40 men were en-
circled in a tract already burned
over between Rustic and Sullivan
canyons. Capt. Verne Howard and
five men were trapped at the bot
tom of Rustic canyon and had to
climb out on ropes dropped to
them from above by rescuers.
AS the fire whipped into Rustic,
three homes Law directly in the
path of the flames. They were
the residence of Stephen Gosson,
screen director; the mountain
lodge of Chester Uphem, wealthy
oil man, and a small farm house.
The homes of Fields and Shirley
Temple, lying farther south to-
ward Sunset boulevard: were not

vans were ready to empty both
residences at a moments not'ce.
