Patriotic Societies, composed, she
said, of about 40 organizations.
Il want to put our own 10000, 900
people at work before we play Santa
Claus to any nation" Mrs. Huling
remarked firmly. "All of our men,
bers are 100 per cent Americans"
Perhaps at this point it would be
well to define 100 per cent Amer
icanism,'" Representative Mason,
Republican of Illinois, interjected,
TO see If such Americanism i'm
plies being anti-Catholic, anti-Jew-
ish or an6-any minority"
AS Mrs. Huling left the stand, Mrs.
Paul Sifton, wife of an executive of
the Wage-Hour Administration. ap-
peared to approve the resolution.
Mrs. Sifton identified herself as
zone of the younger group in the
D. A. r. trying to remember that the
Revolutionary War was fought to
give minority groups representa-
ton"
Distinguished for many years for
their practical and effective works
Of charity, the Quaker Society sent
Clarence E. Pickett, executive secre-
tary of the American Friends Serv-
ice Committee, to support the mea-
sure.
Vividly, Mr.. Pickett drew for the
committee a picture of conditions IN
Germany observed during his own
work there.
Masses Of figures do not bring
home the true situation" he re-
marked. Its intensity and reality
can be visualized only if you COM
pare the normal life of a normal
child with the life of a rejected child
in Germany today.
"The child cannot go to the state
schools. Lacking a school, he also
lacks all of the legitimate outlets
for play. The parks are closed to
him. He walks on the street only
at the risk of being taunted or spat
on by other children or perhaps
beaten by his elders.
Even in his home, the tension
and pressure of the environment
are upon him. There is the ever
present menace of the concentration
camp for his father or his older
brother. The childs father-a
hunted man-sleeps first in one
secret place, and then another, but
rarely at home.
There is the crashing Of glass
at any time of the day or night
when the neighboring rowdies
choose to throw stones through the
windows. There is terror at
mere knock on the door. And over
and around the child and ever
present to him Is the shattering
anxiety Of his parents. upon whom
he has been accustomed to rely and
whose present insecurity invades his
life at every point and threatens to
destroy the essential security which
must be his.
And beyond all this terror and
insult, his parents have lost their
means of livelihood, his family has
been put out of their home and
crowded into a small, unheated
room, wondering how they will eat
when the last bit of furniture has
been sold. This Is the daily life
Of those children in Germany whom
the present regime has elected to
disinherit."

gladly a child I had never seen, as
suming there is protection against
getting a mentally deficient child.
Il had never seen my own child
until it was placed in my arms
after delivery. I didn't shop for il" !"
The suggested number of 10000, q
maximum, would be over and above
existing immigration quotas, with
support of the children to be ar
ranged and guaranteed in advance.
No Modification of Policies.
Describing the resolution as
Americas response to the call of
humanity" Senator Wagner, Demo-
crat, of New York, author of the
Senate resolution, explained that
the legislation "does not propose to
modify immigration policies long
established. or to suspend existing
immigration quotas with respect to
adults.
1T authorizes the admission, dur
ing each of the next two calendar
years, of 10000 German refugee
children, IA years Of age or less,
over and above quota restrictions.
"The admission of this limited
number Of children-an utterly in
significant proportion of our total
population-could be accomplished
without any danger Of dislocating
American industry or displacing
American labor. Organized labor,
which was instrumental in sponsor
ing the existing quota system, is
strongly supporting the present
resolution.
Assurances Of Support.
''Nor is there any danger of these
children becoming public charges,
for not a single child would be ad-
mitted except upon satisfactory as
surances by responsible citizens or
responsible private organizations
that they would be supported and
properly cared for in American
homes Of their own faiths. About
half Of the children would be
Jewish; the remainder, Catholic and
Protestant.
Supporting the promise of Senator
Wagner that organized labor would
approve the resolution, John Brophy,
director of the G. I. O., and Joseph
A. Padway, general counsel for the
A. F. L., appeared later in the meet
ing to accord unqualified indorse-
ment to the suggestion.

Lodge, Republican, Of Massachu-
sets plans to make a fight on the

The Lodge plan is to require the

works to allocate to each State a
certain number Of jobs instead Of q
certain amount Of money. It is
based on the contention that q given
amount Of money will put fewer
idle persons to work in high wage

believes it will receive bipartisan

The warships swung past Cape
Henry to be joined off the capes by
the cruiser Raleigh, flagship of Rear
Admiral U. S. Pye, commanding de-
stroyer flotilla l of the battle force,
and IL destroyers from Yorktown.
A force of 400 men, working in
three shifts, had loaded the vessels
with approximately q, 900 600 pounds
of supplies during the past four days
in preparation for the sailing, Ad-
miral Trevor w. Leutzen, in charge Of
the naval supply depot at the naval
operating base here, said.
When the loading was completed,
sufficient supplies remained at the
depot to feed the city Of Norfolk for
three weeks, the admiral estimated.
The departure cut short leaves for
thousands of enlisted men and dis
rupted plans of many officers for
vacations with their families.
The battleship Pennsylvania, flag
ship of Admiral c. c. Bloch, arrived
here yesterday from Annapolis, Nd,
to join in the westward voyage.

Substitute Relief Bill
For Byrnes Measure
Debate Delayed Until
Monday Because Of
Senator's Illness .

A Republican move to present =
substitute for the Byrnes public
works bill was under way today, as
the Senate delayed until Monday
the beginning Of debate on the
measure which would consolidate
w. P. A., p. w. A. and several other
agencies. with q new formula to
govern ALLEGATION Of Federal funds
to the States.
The delay In starting debate was
due to the illness Of Senator Byrnes,
Democrat, Of South Carolina.
The Republican conference, pre-
sided over by Minority Leader Nc
Nary Of Oregon, yesterday named the
following members to consider an
alternative plan: Senators Vanden-
berg Of Michigan, Taft Of Ohio,
Lodge Of Massachusetts, and Barbour
Of New Jersey.
For several years there has been
strong sentiment on the Republican
side for vesting greater control over
work relief programs in State au-
thorities, with Federal supervision
limited to general standards. It Is
likely the new substitute, if one Is
offered, will follow this general prin-
ciple.
Two Urge State Control.
This was indicated during a brief
furry Of debate yesterday, in which
Senators Barbour and Vandenberg
both urged that all relief operations
be unified under State control, with
the Federal Government laying
down standards to the degree justi-
fed by the making of Federal grants.
BY merging the several Federal
agencies dealing with work relief,
the Byrnes bill seeks to require each
State to meet one-third Of the an
nual cost of all the work projects
for that State, and to allocate the
congressional appropriation among
