WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. CUP)-
The California congressional dele
cation proposed today a plan for
federal aid to migrant workers.
The proposal, announced by Rep.
John N. Toland, D, Calf, is de-
signed to afford migrants relief
funds which they are unable to
obtain under the present WPA
set-up.
The plan, Toland said. calls for
n one year settlement arrangement
whereby WPA relief allotments
would be transferred from the
home state of the migrant to the
state to which he migrated. Under
present arrangements, migratory
workers lose their relief rights in
their home states when they move
and are unable to obtain funds
from their newly adopted state un-
Ill they have resided there a year.
Admitting that the proposal would
get nowhere" if introduced as a
separate measure, Toland said the
California delegation would present
it to the house appropriations COM
mittee soon for inclusion in the next
relief appropriation bill.
The plan, he said, would legally
abolish the concept of the migrant
worker, so far as relief is concerned.
It would encourage states to adopt
uniform one-year settlement laws
and would relieve the great burden
on states and communities drained
by the necessity of trying to cope
with the migrant worker situation" g"

States, California should not be

Fire Begins Drive
To Jail Terrorist
Group Agifators

DUBLIN, Jan. 5. (UP) - Five
thousand special policemen armed
with rifles and revolvers were sta
toned along the 1S0 mile border OF
north Ireland today while the gov
eminent of Fire began a smashing
offensive against the outlawed irish
republican army at home.
President Douglas Hyde signed
shortly after noon today a bill,
speeded through both houses of par
lament in two days, empowering
the government of Prime Minister
Eamon de Valera to imprison with
out trial persons suspected OF
treason.
AS the senate passed the Dill
without recorded vote last night,
army trucks were prowling the
streets of Cork, where a detective
was slain by suspected IRA leader
the night before, rounding up scores
of suspected terroristS.
The guard was thrown along the
border of the six Ulster counties
comprising north Ireland. part
of the British Empire, to cut OFF
communications between IRA men,
bers in Fire and north Ireland.
The IRA operates as a terrorist
organization throughout the British
isles. Before it was outlawed by
de Valera, it maintained open head
quarters in Fire where it had the
most sympathizers by virtue of its
aims-to annex north Ireland to
Fire. The presence of British troops
in north ireland has always kept
the IRA underground there. Most
of the bombing outrages attributed
to the IRA have occurred in Eng
land.
