Bill Congress Cut

Washington, Feb. 7-(AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt told Congress today
"an emergency exists in relief, and
asked immediate consideration" of
an additional appropriation of $780,
C00,CC0 for WPA for the next five
months.
This figure represents the cut Con-
gress made in his request for $685.
0c0C0O to carry WPA from February
through June. The White House an
nounced earlier today the President
had signed the $725,O000O1 bill last
Saturday.
President Roosevelt provided Con-
gress with new cause for debate on
relief in sending a special message
asking immediate consideration" of
an additional appropriation of $780,
100000 to operate WPA unit June 30.
This was the exact amount Con-
gress cut off his request last month
for an $S75,00O,OOO WPA appropria-
ton. He signed the bill for the re-
duced sum, $725,OOo,OOO, on Saturday,
and with his message today insisted
that the original amount was needed.

Mr.. Roosevelt said in a message that

"In other words" the President
said, "the program of present employ
ment would be slashed considerably
more than one half within a period
of three months. If, however, proper
reserves were maintained at the end
of the fiscal year, emp oyment at the

Four Conditions for
1nsurgent Victory

Rome, Feb. 7.-(AP) - Virginio
Gayda insisted today that the Span
ish insurgents would continue to get
Italian and German support until they
had won "politicaP' as well as a
military victory, despite reliable re-
ports of an official reputation of his
earlier statement that Italian troops
would remain in Spain even after the
end of the war.
The usually authoritative fascist
editor who often reflects Premier
Mussolini's views, did rot, however
repeated specifically his assertion
that troops would remain in Spain.
Reliable sources said the British gov
ernment had been assured by Foreign
Minister Count Ciano that the Sunday
statement on troops did not represent
fascist policy.
In his editorial today Gayda set
forth four prerequisites for a com
plete insurgent victory:
l. Dcmobilization of Spanish repub-
lican government forces which have
found refuge in France.
2. Resignation and dispersal of the
government.
8. Unconditional surrender by the
republican army and no armistice
negotiations.
4. Return of the Bank of Spains
gold stock, which the government had
deposited abroad.

taries climbed to housetop levels, was
:eared.
Newport. KY, authorities estimated
GOO families had been removed from
homes when the water flooded 35
city blocks. Preparations were made
for further evacuation.

NTNE ON SEINE BOAT ARE

Portland, Oregon, Feb. 7.-(AP)-
A purse seine-fishing boat, with nine
men aboard was believed today a vic
tim of the storm that smashed against
the northwest corner of the United
States and Canada yesterday and last
night.
The 68-foot Sonny Boy, enroute from
San Francisco to Seattle with two
other purse-seiners, disappeared ear
ly Monday in a rain squall off a rug
ged section of the Oregon coast. Cap
tain Sam Mirkovich of the Wanderer,
one of the other two seiners, broth
er-in-law of Sonny Boys captain, said
he felt certain the boat had gone

Raleigh Feb. 7.-More peanuts, bet
ter pinders, and more money for the
goobers produced was the desire loud
ly voiced by large group of eastern
Carolina farmers here today. More dig
nified statement of the fact would be
to say that a sizable delegation of
peanut growers from the Albemarle
section appeared before the House
committee on agriculture and asked
for establishment of another peanut
test farm in their area. The news
value of the incident is greatly en-
hancd by the additional request that
the test farm be administered by
State College.
This runs squarly into the current
agrument over duplication of activi-
ties between the college and the State
department and calls to mind little
recent history about the establishment
of the peanut test farm in Edgecombe
county last year.
The group here today is made up
largely of growers of peanuts for COM
mercial sale; tina is, for re-selling as
peanuts or for processing into pea
