Great Social Problems
After War Seen by Shaw
BY the Associated Press.

u 4
ASHEVILLE, n. c., Oct. 21.-The
vastage in thwarted and twisted
human lives after the war will be
greater than that which followed
the World War, G. Howland Shaw,
president OF the American Prison
Association and assistant secretary
of state, told the 72d annual Con-
rress of Correction here last night.
He attributed that outlook to the
scale on which this war is being
waged. 'fThe war is, in last analysis,
a war within revolution" he said.
'swithin a development OF social and
economic forces which mark the
transition from one era to another"
A factor which may brighten the
n;cture. however, Mr.. Shaw said, is
that I'VE feel closer to each other
because the war increases the aware
ness of the responsibility of the in
dividual. He saw there in a social
force which might mitigate the dis
organization that denomination
would cause.
The association reelected SAN
lord Bates, commissioner OF the new
york State Board Of Parole, presi-
dent for the coming term.

President Roosevelt yesterday took
a hand in a three-way senatorial
race in Nebraska by giving his In
dorsement to the reelection of 81-
year-old Senator Norris, inde-
pendent
The Chief Executive svoiced his
approval of Senator Norris at
press conference when asked wheth-
er he would take a stand in the
Nebraska contest. He recalled his
october 10, 1896, speech at Omaha
in which he came out for Senator
Norris reelection to q fifth term
and said he did not believe he would
change a word in it for this year.
While not remembering the exact
words in the 1886 address, the Presi-
dent said the fact remained that
he raised Democratic organiza-
tion meeting to its feet cheering
for George Norris. He had secre-
tary dig up the old address, made
during his own campaign for
second term in the White House,
and released it to the press.
Asked NOn-Partisan View.
In it he described Senator Norris
candidacy as transcending party
lines and said Nebraska would be do
ing "a great service not only to it.
self, but to every other State in the
Union and to the Nation as a whole
If it places this great American
above partisanship and keeps George
Norris in the Senate of the United
States"
Senator Norris friends were elated
last night over the reimbursement.
They pointed out that the veteran
independent won by only little
more than $4,000 in a three-way race
in 1896 in which nearly 100000 votes
were cast and said the Presidents
word undoubtedly would have an in
fluence in the current contest.
Senator Norris polled 258,7O votes
in 1896 against 223,276 for Robert
G. Simmons, former Republican
member of Congress and now chief
justice of the State, and l08,39 for
then Representative Terry Carpen-
ter, Democrat.
Two Opponents This Year.

announcer.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 21.-State
control OF Unemployment compensa-
ton is inadequate, says Chairman
Arthur j. Altmeyer of the Federal
Social Security Board.
State control not only is adequate,
1t ought to be freed entirely from
the Federal boards supervision, is
the sharp reply of Director Claude
Williams of the Texas Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission.
Furthermore, Mr.. Williams told a
seven-State conference of employ
ment security agencies today, the
Federal board has destroyed the
faith and confidence of the State
administrators.
Doubts Fair Dealing"
I'VE no longer believe the board
capable of fair dealing
Mr.. Altmeyer addressed the con-
ference yesterday, explaining that
while the board did not plan to
submit any legislative proposals to
Congress at this time, the board S
desire for Federal control would be
conveyed to appropriate legislative
committees.
State officials from Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana and New Mexico heard his
Commute commentary on the in
adequacy of State control"
Mr.. Williams speech today was the
report of committee of States that
he said was formed to oppose Secur-
ity Board efforts to take over opera
ton of the State agencies.
Absorption Asked in Rider.
Federal absorption of State en-
ployment services, he asserted. was
provided for by rider in an appro-
priation bill. and at one time the
Social Security Board was so certain
of its passage in Congress that direc-
tions were sent to State agencies on
how to administer the law
State control has proved so success
full, he contended. that the States
reserves were more than SO 500 ,000.-
600, enough to meet emergencies
without increased taxes.
Indeed. the very size of the States
reserves may be our undoing," he
declared, "for some Washington
swivel-chair bureaucrats cannot bear
to see any State department operat-
ing on a cash basis with so much
money in any ones hands except
their own"
