Battle Over Relief

There is promised a terrific bat
tie over Federal relief. Unless
Congress acts speedily, within the
first month of its session, work
relief payments will stop early in
February. Estimates of how much
money it will take to continue re-
lief for the balance of the fiscal
year June 800 range from $780,
100000 to $1,000, 100000.
The compromise figure is around
$3.50 ,O00, 900. The Republicans
again supported by some conserva
tive Democrats, are going to de.
mand that relief be decentralizeo
and that a great part of it be
turned over to the States and local
subdivisions for administration.
The New Deal is dead against
any such proposals.
President RooSevelt's annual
message tomorrow is to be fol
lowed on Thursday with the
budget message.
Today'S opening sessions were
scheduled to be, for the most part
perfunctory. Senate and House
will meet at noon and adjourn
soon thereafter to await the main
show" tomorrow. when all Wash
ington will try to crowd into the
antiquated House galleries for the
Presidents message.

Wagner Act Up

There is the Wagner labor rela-
tion act. The Republicans and a
great many Democrats are con-
vinced it should be amended to
give employers a better "break'
in their relationship with en-
ployes.
There is the current Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act the triple
Al, which has been found wanting
in many respects. 1t has failed
to keep up the prices for farm
commoditieS-cotton, wheat and
corn-and in some farmer elec-
tionS. as in tobacco, it has been
voted down by the farmers them
selves.
There is the gigantic, Social Sc
curity program, against which in
recent months there has been a
steady stream of criticism. Re-
publicanS are going to demand its
amendment on a pay as you go"
basis. This has been complicated,
too, by the fact that a great many
of the new Republicans elected
in November, as we'll as some
Democrats, embraced the Town
send plan, or something very
akin to it.

Chapter Seven
A Poor Girl

NVER seven snow covered O hills Eric, the son of Light ming, danced playing his flute and followed by Leezen. She didn't even know that she and Eric were running away from the Toyshop. She'd forgotten that she was to go with Santa to the kingdom of Westphalia. She just smiled and stepped across the soft snow.
 Eric knew Santa might be wor- ried but he hoped he might find some brave deed to do that would please Santa. And he did. As he danced he spied an old crow on a pine tree and piped a trill. The crow flew to his shoulder. He .spied a young white fox running through the woods. He piped a long, low note and the fox came up to him tame as kitten. And all the while LeeZen followed.
 Then suddenly | n ey neafu screams through the trees. Erlc's flute stopped. Wait, listen" he said to Leezen. "Oh, dear. Oh dear" they heard a girl sobbing
