New Unit Organized.
Preliminary to the sessions Of the
association, there was organized
yesterday among many of its
members, a new group known as
THE American Society for Public
Administration" DR.. william E.
Mosher, dean of the Maxwell School
of Citizenship and Public Affairs,
at Syracuse University, was elected
its president at a spirited meeting
last night, following luncheon and
round table yesterday afternoon
A challenge was flung to the
group, just before its formal organi-
zation, by H. S. Person, consultant
in business economics and manage
ment. II am convinced" he declared
that planning will be one Of the
vital factors in the salvation of
democracy. Our societies are becom-
ing so complicated that continua-
ton of unplanned individualism will
be fatal; that even superficial plan
ming may be dangerous because in
adequate. People will choose the
stability of totalitarianism rather
than instability under any political
system. Therefore. 1t is an epochal
challenge which circumstances i'm
pose on us, the challenge to per-
suade our democracy to plan, and
to show it how to plan"
Present Study Cited.
Aldo Rata, vice president of the
Washington Chapter of the Ameri-
can Society for Advancement OF
Management, pointed out that his
group already was engaged in serious
studies of management in govern

Political Scientists

To Hear Ickes, Wallace

Criticizing the concept of the
Budget Bureau as watch dog of the
Treasury" Harold D. Smith, director
of the bureau. today emphasized
that under its new setup in the ex-
ecutive Offices of the President, the
bureau has the much broader scope
of a real instrument of democracy.
The director spoke to joint meet
ing of the American Political Science
Association and the American So
ciety for Public Administration at
the Wardman Park Hotel, where a
distinguished gathering of experts in
political science and public admins
traticn had convened from all parts
of the country for sessions to con-
tinue the rest of the week.
Mr.. Smith suggested that Con-
gress ask him for help on fiscal
problems instead of setting up a
little Budget Bureau of its own. Such
a bureau has been proposed recently

said that committees of Congress
have rarely called upon the Bureau
of the Budget for assistance.
The working relationship between
the Bureau of the Budget and con.
gressional appropriating committee
leaves much to be desired. These
committees work without the benefit
of the vast amount of detailed in
formation concerning the operations
of the Government which is con-
tinually being built up in the
bureau"
The budget director said it was his
view that strong effort should be
made to work out more effective
relationships between the Bureau OF
the Budget and the congressional
appropriating committees before
steps are taken by Congress tc
establish what will essentially be
another budget bureau"

~ Governmental
Units Now Paying
On Unemployment

Raleigh, Jan. 2.-Of the 48 states
and three Federal units, District of
Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii, % are
already paying unemployment bene-
fits; two, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Start in December; Is start in jan
uary and two others, Illinois and
Montana, start paying benefits in july
OF next year, recent survey shows.
The units which start payments in
January, 1899, are Alaska Arkansas,
Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North
Dakc-a, Ohio, South Dakota, Wash
ington and Wyoming. In these Is
r.ates and the two starting in De-
cember, about 100000 workers have
acquired credits tow rd benefits and
will become potential claimants for
benefits, if they become UNEMPLOYED.
About $4,000 employers in these 20
states are covered by unemployment
compensation laws. The 20 states
had an accumulation of about S281.-
100000 for benef:t, payments in the
trust fund October 81.
In the 20 states in which benefits
$34O,0O0,000 had been distributed in
the ten months through October 81.
Approximately 100000 of the 2O,OOO,-
600 workers estimated to be covered
10y unemployment compensation laws
in these states have drawn benefits
for varying periods for either total or
partial unemployment Nearly l..
100000 individuals are at present re-
ceiving benefits averaging about $11
Tor total and SIS for partial unem-
ployment.
More than 27,5OO,OOO wage earners
employed by $4,000 employers in the
United States and its three Federal
units come under the Federal-State
unemployment compensation program
Industrial and commercial employ
nent primarily are covered, but the
plan exempts domestic and agricul-
tural work, self employment, govern
ment work, work for non-profit edu-
catlonal or charitable organizations
and few others. Several of these
exempt classifications, if not all, may
be included under the Federal and
then under State acts later, as re-
commended by President Roosevelt.
In North Carolina close to 1000
employing units, operating nearly o.
OOO establishments and EMPLOYING
about 100000 workers, are under the

ter of economy. We are talking to-
day in terms of billions for defensive
purposes. 1t pays us to save here
and there, if we can, a few hundreds
of millions by planning cChesively.
Incidentally there is considerable
congressional opposition to the adj
ministration's preparedness scheme.
Even pacifistic legislators are favor
able to adequately defensive appro-
priations, but there is a deal of OBJ
lection to anything like running wild
militarily. And that is what the
White House is suspected of. It
would be to the Presidents own ad-
vantage to start an impartial-sound-
ing Legislative investigation to prove
his case, as far as possible.
1 am convinced that the average
American does not deem armament
building nice way of MAKING
work. He prefers even boondoggling
to any war preparations beyond alb
solute necessity.
Too Many Departments?

Three Methods OF
Blue Mold Control
-.a.- Listed In Report

College Station, Raleigh, Jan. g.
Three methods of controlling tobac-
co blue mold are described in a re-
port prepared comparatively by the
State College Extension Service, the
North Carolina Agricultural Expert
n1ent Station, Duke University, the
experiment station and extension
services of Virginia and South Caro-
lima, and the N. C. Department of Ag-
riculture.
The control methods recommended
are: spraying with mixture of red
copper oxide, emulsified cottonseed
oil and water; fumigation with benz oil
tbenzene); and fumigation with para
d1chlOrObenZOl d chemical CONNER
cially known as 'P. D. B."
The report points out that treat
ment of blue mold in other crops has
rot proved satisfactory when applied
to tobacco, and therefore, new meth
DDS of procedure had to be devised
The methods outlined in the report
are the best available at the present
time and growers are told to select
one of the methods which seems to
best suit his needs.
The detailed directions for fumigat-
ing Or spraying are contained in the
report, which has been printed as
Extension Circular No. 229, "Blue
Mold of Tobacco and It's Control" The
publication is available for free dis
tribution upon request to the Agricul-
tural Editor, State College, Raleigh

Candle Lighting
Service Held At

candle lighting service last evening
after their usual Fellowship supper.
A large number participated in the
Scripture readings on Light, after
the group had been led in responsive
reading by C. l.. Finch, Jr. The song
Give of Your Best to the Master"
was sung, accompanied by the orches-
ira, and then Agnes Patterson read
he "Aims for the New Year" Then
followed the lighting of candles. The
room was darkened. The minister,
Rev. T. J. Whitehead and Rev. r. Y.
Brown, lighted their own first from
the .all candle standing lighted upon
the Bible, and then in turn they
handed lights to each one as the
group reverently passed up to re-
ceive them. All formed a circle and
as the light in the room grew, the
meaning of the symbolism was deeply
impressed. After a prayer of conse-
Grafton for the New Year by Rev.
Whitehead, the old chorus, Come in
tt My Heart, Lord Jesus" was sung
softly followed by the benediction.

on Christmas Eve, Harry Hopkins for.

Al strong indication of Murphy's con
firmation came today il a statement
of Senator '.Vandenberg, Republican,
Michigan, that Il do not expect to OPP
pose" the appointment, since he be-
lieves such selection to be the Presi-
