need MEMBERS
FOR AUXILIARY
Mrs. Fogelberg Says Intensive
Drive Being Waged for
1910 Memberships.

With one-half million members as its
goal, the American Legion Auxiliary is
making strong start on enrolment of
its membership for 1910, Mrs. Agnes
F'ogelberg, membership chairman of
Frank Lozar Unit, announced today.
Under Mrs. Fogelberg's leadership, the
local Unit is bringing an invitation to
join the Auxiliary to all eligible women
in Ely.
This year the Auxiliary has an en-
rollment of 480,O0O," she said, 'the
largest in it's history and gain of
nearly 10000 over the previous year.
A like increase in 1910 will bring us to
our goal of 100000 members.
@The Auxiliary has not yet ap-
preached the limits of its possible
membership strength. All wives, sisters,
mothers and daughters of Legionnaires
and deceased veterans, and women who
themselves were enlisted in World War
service are eligible. Every year, more
and more of these women are coming
into the Auxiliary to enjoy it's opportuni-
ties for civic and patriotic service.
"At this time when conolJlons hold
so much danger to our country's peace
and security, women of World War
families have an especial urge to become
active in the Auxiliary. They know
what war means to women and they
want to help keep America at peace.
They realize the value of American
democracy and they hope to preserve
| it for themselves and for their children.
In the Auxiliary they have opportunity
to work for these things, to join with
women of the same patriotic background
in united effort for Americas peace
and security"
Wives, mothers, sisters and daughters
of members of Frank Lozar post, of the
American Legion were urged to enroll
in the American Legion Auxiliary in
an appeal issued today by John A.
| Henderson, post commander. Com
mander Anderson said:
| ''The American Legion needs the
help of the American Legion Auxiliary
in the vital work ahead of the Legion
during the coming year. The men who
defended America and American ideals
in the World War have a special OBJ
legation to protect our country from
another war and to protect our in
situations of individual liberty from en-
croachment. We need the women OF
our families working side by side with

Points for Study DralDn
BY Ore Tax Committee
Legislative Group Expects to
Begin Work Shortly After
First of Year.

The legislative interim conlAaittee,
which will delve into range mineral
tax problems will start work shortly
after the first of the year, it was in
dicated last weekend.
A tentative list of points for study
were drawn up at a meeting of the COM
mittee in st. Paul last week. They in
clude % extent of tax burden; Cd leas-
ing conditions; 90 levieS and expendl-
lures of local governments, and "a ways
of reducing or limiting such levies and
expenditures.
Senator F.. j. Miller, Little Falls, was
named chairman of the investigating
group and Rep Rollin G.. Johnson,
Forest Lake, vice chairman.
DR.. J. L. Mcleod, Grand Rapids, and
Carl Schuster, Biwabik, represent the
range communities on the committee.
Hearings are expected to be opened
around tn first of February, followed by
a second visit to the area next summer.
Dean E. H. Comstock of the Univer-
Sity of Minnesota school of mines, who
with DR.. Mcleod and Schuster were
the last three committee members
named by Governor Harold Stassen,
sounded what may be the keynote of
the investigation when he said that be-
cause of the many factors entering into
competition with iron ore only produc-
tive diggings were worthwhile to OPP
crate
For that reason, Dean Comstock con-
tinued, the only inducement to utilize
vast fields of low grade ore was through
a lowering of taxes to permit profitable
operations.
Pointing out that iron ore production
had dropped ten million tons year
since 1929, he cited the use of synthetic
compounds in many goods to replace
steel that was formerly used.
1t was inferred from the deans re-
marks that unless lowered taxes cleared
the way for the utilization of low grade
ores, operators would be forced tc
abandon their diggings when rich ore
fields were exhausted.
Serving on the committee, besides the
men namd above, are Senators j. v
Weber of Slayton, Carl Neumeier OF
Saltwater, and William j. Dietz OF
Montgomery; Representatives John
Hartle of Owatonna, A. j. Powers Of

nciency ratings of mechanics in the
Norfolk Navy Yard was urged by
d. E. Henry, member of a committee
OF yard machinists testifying before
the special Senate committee hear
Ing Government personnel COM
plants today.
Complaining of the number OF
1oremen and other supervisors
through whom the ratings pass, Mr.
Henry testified that 'if a man is
anywhere near where he started he
is lucky" He said his objection was
aimed at the system. He said he
had no personal complaint.
Chairman Ellender, Democrat of
Louisiana observed that that seemed
to be general complaint regarding
efficiency ratings in other depart
ments.
The committee heard the navy
yard testimony before turning to
personnel matters in the General
Accounting Office.

Meanwhile, Chairman Ellender
made known that, while the commit
tee may make a partial report before
this session of Congress ends, ne
plans to keep the committee alive
to inquire from time to time into
complaints of favoritism or discrim-
1nation in the service.
He indicated also that legislation
may be recommended for establish
ment of some definite system of en-
ploye appeals from departmental de-
cisions in personnel matters.

John j. Corson, director of the
Bureau of Old Age Insurance, and

arranging the work of the agency.

The committee also heard Adolph
A. DAILY, liaison officer in the Old
Age Insurance Division of Social Sc
curity, who contended he was en-
titled to higher grading under the
Classification Act, on the basis of
his duties and experience. Officials
OF the division disagreed with him
as to the grade he believed his duties
justified. Mr.. DAILY, who told the
committee he was captain in the

willing to 60 along on the present
grading until less experienced per-
