Free Enterprise
Must Give Jobs,
Says O,.Maboney
By Catherine r. HambIev

That postwar full employment
must be created through small and
great units Of free enterprise was
the opinion expressed yesterday by
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming at luncheon meeting of
the Womans National Democratic
Club.
Recalling the dark days of 1929
when big business did not provide
jobs for millions of unemployed, the
Senator Endorsed President Roose-
velt's policy of stimulating economy
to furnish $4,000, 900 jobs. 1t is the
only alternative, he added, in view
of the fact previous policies have
failed. The speaker recalled the
failure of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. to solve the stalled
economic condition "by pouring
money from the top into the
industrial machine" The Public
Works Administration and other
agencies also failed by creating
work at sub-standard wages. Stress
ing the seriousness of the question,
the Democrat pointed out that in
1910, when the country was pro-
ducing more goods and services than
ever, there were still 10000 unem-
ployed.
The Nations economy, as the
basis of society. has fallen into the
hands of a few, the Westerner
warned. This economy should be
controlled by the people. Quoting
statistics from the Library of Con-
gress, Mr.. O'Mahoney declared ap-
proximately 80 per cent of war con-
tracts made with business by the
Government have been awarded to
200 companies. Citing General Mo-
tors Corp, he asserted it had won
SIS, 500, 000, 900 worth of war contracts.
The corporation employs 448, 900 en-
ployes and has approximately 49,
900 stockholders.
Our modern world requires in
dustrial and labor organizations
which in effect cover the world as

For eacbers

A resolution in support OF pro-
posed congressional legislation to
increase salaries of District teachers
to a minimum entrance salary of
$4,000 was among several adopted
by the District Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs at meeting yesterday
at the Women's City Club.
Other resolutions included in
dorsement of a pending House
measure to enforce stronger leg
islation regarding inspection of
weights and measures in the Dis
trict and prohibiting charging or

greater than the price indicated:
support of Senate bill II prohibiting
issuance of alcoholic beverage Ii
censes within 600 feet of a school,
church, playground, public library,
soldiers home, Army post, Navy
Yard or marine barracks; and sup
port of two Senate bills to increase
the quota of cadets and midshipmen
to the Military and Naval Acad-
emies from to IL and to limit
these appointments to bona fide
District residents of not less than
five years duration.
It was explained regarding the
last-named resolution that the
presidential appointments, which
are supposed to cover District resi-
dents, are given mostly to sons OF
Army and Navy officers and do not
take care of sons of civilian resi-
dents of the District
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, chairman
of the department of legislation
requested club members to study
two pending bills whose support will
be voted on at the next meeting.
These include the proposed Treaty

necessary for ratification of treaties,

kota, preventing pollution of waters

Of the United States and correcting
existing water pollution.
The morning session included q
talk by Mrs. Mary Fletcher of the
American Theater Wing, who spoke
on the need Of civilians adjusting
to returned veterans.
1T is not for the veteran to adj
just" she said. 'It Is for the civilian
to adjust to the veteran. This is
not postwar issue, but an imme-
diate one," she added, with 10000
boys returning home every month. "
An explanation of the 'Redevel-
opment of Washington and the Met
ropolitan Area" program was the
subject of an address by Maj Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant, III, at the after
noon session.
The speaker, who is chairman Of
the National Park and Planning
Commission, said that Washington,
like many other cities, is suffering
from a blight" which can be cor
rected only by tearing down slum
dwellings and rebuilding attractive,
sanitary, low-priced community
centers. Gen. Grant stressed the
point that such settlements must
include parks, Fairgrounds, schools,
ETC., so that future tenants may find
them sufficiently attractive to re-
main in the city instead of moving
to low-cost housing projects out
side the city limits.
Builders have built communities
outside of the city and left decay
ing spots Within" he commented.
"A resolution proposed by Miss
Cornelia Hill and seconded by Mrs
Harvey w. Wiley was adopted
whereby $500 from the federation
treasury will be appropriated for the
purchase of a second mortgage bond
on the Women's City Club.
Mrs. Gertrude Parks, the presi-
dent, presided at both sessions
