Thomas Says House Group
Will Refuse NYA Funds
BY tie Associated Press

BY tfe Associated Press.
Representative Thomas. Democrat,
Of Texas said today it was his opin-
ion the House Appropriations SUBJ
committee on Social Security and
Labor. OF which he is a member,
would refuse to approve any further
appropriations for the National
Youth Administration.
The NYA has funds for opera
tions through June 30. Representa-
tive Thomas said four of the five
subcommittee members had dis
cussed the NYA informally this
week, and it was his opinion none
of the four favored it's continuance.
This would be the third of the
depression-born agencies to be dis
solved since the outbreak of war.
Congress last year refused further
appropriations for the Civilian Con-
servation Corps and President
Roosevelt last week ordered the
liquidation of the Work Projects
Administration.
Representative Thomas told news
papermen he could see little need
for continuance OF NYA, since the
drafting of 18 and 19 year old youths
would virtually erase the usefulness
OF its shop training program.
NYA's appropriation was reuced
for the present fiscal year to s6l. =
274.000 from $151 ,767 900 for the pre-
vious year.

TORONTO, Dec. 1O.-The Earl of
Athlone, governor-general of Can
ada. declared today in an address
prepared for the Empire Club of
Toronto that the war had demon
strated to the world that "the inde-
pendence of the great self-govern-
Ing dominions was a fact and not a
fiction"
I'm no case" he said, was the
slightest pressure brought to bear
by one member on another. I.
One member Of our family decided
to remain neutral and no one ques-
toned her right to do so. Another
member came in only after the most
anxious heart searchings. and in the
face of much domestic opposition"
He urged that critics of the Brit
ish Empire make sure their criti-
cism lis based on accurate and COM
plete knowledge and not a mere
emotion"
He said the British Empire was
such complex mechanism that
most of our own people know very
little about it themselves, so we can
not expect even our best friends to
know more"
Criticism, he said, gave Britain
a chance to describe some of our
achievements and explain some of
our difficulties

March for wiping out of so per cent
of the Polish Jews by the end of
