Evil Spirits Blamed

When the Indian chief, Chicago,
was young, he travelled across the
Atlantic, coming back to his Illinois
tribe with the news he had seen five
tepees, one above the other. This
was in the days before any Chicago
building was more than two stories
high. His braves would not believe
him, and proved so conclusively that
1t was impossible that Chief Chicago
agreed they were correct and that
an evil spirit had played upon his

Migratory Workers
National Problem,
Report Holds
Immediate, Lone-Term
Programs to Assist
Stotes Suggested
By the Associated Press.

6y Inc A6SOclAte0 fEeSS.
President Roosevelt forwarded
yesterday to Representative Elliott,
Democrat, of California, a Federal
committee report recommending
both an emergency and long time
program for dealing with the prob
lem of interstate migration into
California.
The program, worked out by eight
Federal agencies. was addressed to
Representative Elliott as chairman
of a California commission dealing
with the problem.
The President said the report de-
clared the migratory problem was a
nationa! Ole ana not confined to
California. 1t said permanent re-
lief program would have to be con-
sidered from a national point OF
view.
1t proposed specific legislation
for:
l. Resettlement of migrants now
in California and other States who
can become self-supporting in areas
to which they have gone.
2. Return of migrants willing to
resume residence back home.
3. Resettlement of other migrants
in areas where employment suited
to them most likely would be found
Immediate Program.
AS for an immediate program. the
report suggested that the United
States Employment Service dissent
nate information on employment tc
prevent further flooding of Cali
fornia by migratory workers.
1t also proposed that the Surplus
Commodities Corp, working with
the Farm Security Administration
and the State relief agency, give
wider distribution of surpluses to
needy migrants.
Additional steps suggested We're:
That the Farm Security Admin
istration continue to provide camp

Decision With Congress.
That the United States Housing
Authority cooperate with local

All these steps would require more
money, the President asserted. but
the report said a decision must rest
with Congress. Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
poets to hold conferences with in
terested parties on the subject.
He said if all the present activities
are to be enlarged, they would have
to be tied in, as the report suggested
with some central agency. The re-
port proposed that this agency be

Demand PIonned for
School Records on

An investigation to determine
what perversion of the rights guar
anteed each citizen under the Con-
stitution has been practiced by
the Board of Education in the
Marian Anderson case was to be
proposed to the House of Represent
atives today by Representative
James P. McGranery of Pennsyl-
vania. he announced.
The Philadelphia Congressman
in statement condemning both the
school board and the Daughters of
the American Revolution, said the
resolution would call upon the Board
of Education to produce all records
pertaining to the use of the audi
toriums and halls in the public
schools of Washington for the past
five years. Miss Anderson halls from
the Representative district.
Avowing his purpose of determ-
lining whether the school board has
made practice of permitting public
meetings, concerts and entertain
ments in the schools auditoriums
and to what extent this has been
done. he said, These things should
be made known in light of the
shameful manner in which the
/ board has conducted itself in the
controversy which has arisen over
securing a place for Miss Marian
Anderson to sing on Easter Sun
day night"
He termed the excuse offered
by the board, in denying the audi
torium, silly"
Turning his attack on the D. A. r.,
he said the initiative for shameful
conduct" comes from the D. A. r..

pride in living solely in the past

Meteor Seen Here;
Landing Spot Unknown

An exceptionally brilliant meteor,
described as emitting a BLUSH green
light, was seen by many in Wash
ington as it flashed across the south
ern sky about 1:30 last night.
Many inquiries concerning it were
received at the Naval Observatory
this morning, but there were no
precise observations which would
indicate where it may have fallen.
None of the observers reported any
sound. This would indicate, says
DR.. E. P. Henderson of the National
Museum, that it was at least several
miles high and may have struck
the ground several hundred miles
away.

 London, Jan. 26.--Naxi newspapers and magazines have suddenly dis- played an overweenlng interest in the sorrows of the Ukrainians.
 Nazl authorities have looked with benevolent eye upon the formation M Berlin of e confidential Ukrain- ian bureau where all Stateless Ukrainians in Germany are asked to register.
 It has even been stated that young Ukrainians will undergo special training In German mili- tary schools,
 The Nazi daily send out from Vienna Q broadcast in the Ukrain- ian language in which stress is laid upon NaSi ideology.
 Tn the meantime, on their own, the Ukrainians of Poland continue to agitate for their freedom.
 They reeite what they say is history. Back In 1880 a number of farms owned by Poles in Polish dalicia were set on fire, presum- ably by small Ukrainian terrorist bands. Instead of trying to find the real criminals, the Ukrainian leaders soy the Polish government sent in attachments of cavalry, infantry and police who instituted regular terror -- beating peaee- ful citizens and destroying homes, banks, cooperative enterprises, with confiScation of Ukrainian news papers and wholesale arrests of young men.
 The polish government vigor- ously denied these terror stories. But
