Parents Urge
Nursery Need

A petition signed by 81 mothers.

scented to Ernest .Chapelle, superin-
tendent of the public schools,
Thursday night, requesting that the
nursery school at Woodruff be con-
tinued under the auspices of the
public schools.
The nursery school. which has
been maintained at Woodruff dur
ing the war was financed by Ian
ham funds. At the close of the
war, however, the funds were with.
drawn.
Believing there is a desperate
need for the service, the Coun-
ell of Social Agencies have been
attempting to raise funds locally
for continuation of the school. A
recent survey by the council indi.
Gated that only in very few
cases were both parents of chill.
dren at the school working The
majority of the children are enroll
ed at the school by mothers who
are either widows. or whose hus-
bands are in the armed service,
the council said.
The council has proposed that the
rates be increased at the school
and that the cost OF operation, esti-
mated at 1920 per month more than
the income. should be paid by local
organizations.

They said that so far as they can

/ The action on potatoes was taken
because supply is the largest in

More Jobs
Big Problem
in Congress

Washington, Sept. 14-AP-Two
big measures wrapping up the big
gest postwar problem of all-jobs-
moved through Senate machinery
today. Both are headed for con-
tests involving basic theories Of
government.
Here is the situation:
|. Jobless pay-The Finance
Committee arranged to send to the
full Senate today a bill for emery
ency unemployment compensation.
It carries provisions designed to
make sure that most full time work
ers get state payments-at present
rates-for as long as &c weeks II
they are out OF work that long
But the bill is shy the guarantee Of
a top figure OF S25 a week asked
by President Truman. Further 1t
says state can stay in or out Of
the new federal aid program. as L
desires.
.. Employment guarantees -
The full Banking Committee was
called to meet Tuesday to consider
acknowledgements draft Of
the so-called full employment bill
This draft declares It to be the re-
spoasibility ~ the Federal govern
ment TO see that all Americans
able and wanting to work shall
have jobs.
The stage for further action on
both measures was set late yester-
day, when the Finance Committee
voted to send the revised jobless
pay bill to the floor and when the
Banking Subcommittee completed
its controversial work.
Action on the jobless pay bill cam
not come in the Senate until Tues
day at the earliest. When 1t does
hit the floor, the author OF its prev
iously-worded language. Senator
Kilgore (D-W.Na), means to start
his fight anew.
In addition to his futile argu.
fnents before the committee for
S2j guaranteed top, Kilgore has
said that a uniform period OF &c
weeks OF payment is the only fair
way to treat the unemployed. Some
lawmakers have contended the
measure nigh encourage laid-on
workers to remain idle longer than
they would normally.
Explaining the bill as now drawn,
committee attaches said that in all
states except Arizona and Missis-
sippi worker entitled to the full
time his state allows will get to-
tai of &c weeks with government
supplements where needed. ION
these two states the top would
be % weeks and a fraction.)
The committee decreed that In 40
case should federal money extend
ing the time OF payments exceed
so per cent OF the states own pay
ments to a worker. For example, il
a part.time worker were entitled TO
only L. weeks under his states
system the government would pro
vide only enough for six more-to
a total of 16 rather than 26 weeks.
Non-controversial. so far as the
committee was concerned. were
provisions to bring under the pro-
gram. some 100000 presently-un-
covered federal employees and about
10000 maritime workers.
The bill also provides travel al
lowances up to 5000 to permit ex-
war workers TO return to their old
homes or move to new job.

India Close to

Congressman

along the road toward self-gov-
eminent
Any British offer which falls
short OF Sir Stafford Grips 1912
proposal that the Indian people be
given an opportunity to attain self
government after the war, Ali said,
would fall like an atom bomb"
AIS statement came nj the end
Of a two-day sessions of the com
mittee which debated a proposal
TO boycott the forthcoming general
elections in India because of dis
satisfaction with electoral proce-
dures. A canvas OF the committee
men indicated a majority believed
the party should enter the cleo.
tions, seek TO capture as many
seats as possible and attempt TO
liberalize the franchise later.
Ali asserted the British govern
ment's decision to hold elections
in India was the first step To-
ward summoning a constituent as
sembly. This assembly. chosen
from Representatives in the lower
houses of the provincial legisla-
lures, would have the task OF franz
ing midas permanent constitution,
Ali said.
Il do not see how the decision
to hold the elections can have any
other meaning" he declared.
Indian leaders said they expect
ed more information on the sub
ject when Viceroy Lord Wavell
returns from England Saturday.
Lord Wavell was believed 20 have
discussed with British government
officials the reasons for the failure
OF the recent Simla conference,
possibly with the view of obtain
ing authority to overcome obstac-
les encountered there.
The conference, held earlier this
summer, was deadlocked over the
inability OF leaders of the domin-
ant Congress party and the Moslem
League, leading minority group, TO
agree on representation on a gov
erning council for India as propos-
ed by Wavell.
Ali said he did not think the
Moslem areas would allow them
selves to be withheld from a con-
stituent assembly.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Con-
gress party leader, said in an in
terview that the working commit
tee had other immediate problems
beyond organization OF a govern
ment for India. These, he said,
included the resumption of cleo
tons within the Congress after a
three.year wartime lapse and the
question Of disciplinary action for
Communists and others who have
not followed Congress policy.
