United States lead the world "in the
direction of peace and we'll being
Mr.. Hull expressed his views in a
letter to Speaker Rayburn who made
it public as the House turned back
to consideration of the credit after
a 24-hour interruption for other
business.
Support for the loan came also
from the National Farmers Union
which said in a wire to Chairman
Spence of the Banking Committee

the British loan agreement as in
dlspensible to starting the wheels
of world trade moving again and
as of special benefit to American
farmers.

into the House record.

the loan. declaring, ! am con-
vinced this proposal exceeds our
constitutional authority He said
he could find no authority in the
Constitution to levy taxes for a loan
to foreign government.
Furthermore, Mr. Springer said
the loan would put a $50 debt on
every man, woman and child In
America.
Mr. Hull wrote Speaker Rayburn
that "the world is today confronted
with an inescapable choice as
fraught with decisive significance as
any that the human race has ever
faced"
Reduced to its most fundamental
terms" ne said. that choice Is
between growing co-opera ton
among nations in the economic
political and other fields or a grow
ing hermitlike aloofness on the part
of nations toward each other, which
must inevitably lead to increasing
international discord and possibly
to the final supreme catastrophe of
another world war"
Critics of the loan lined up, mean

States credit.

pressed wishes Of the people.
AS our government entered the
war to end aggression Of powerful
states against their weaker neigh

their war aims in the Atlantic Char

our government to refuse aid to any
government which does not act in
harmony with the terms of the At

Until justice is done in Ireland
and all other countries under Brit

wishes Of the people, we protest
against aid being granted. England
already owes our government 6 bill

Mrs. Louise Frusclone Of 7b2 VOL

ployment compensation appeal in
Superior Court today, claiming she
at no time refused suitable employ
ment.
Commissioner Margaret verdon
had ruled that the claimant should
not receive unemployment benefits
on the ground that she was not
available for work because Of re-
strictions. According to the decision
the claimant was entitled to bene-
fits from June "A, the day after she
was laid off, to Aug. 4. The pay
ments for that period were allowed,
the commissioner said, to give Mrs.
Fruscione a reasonable length Of
time to look for work.

AN examination of actual relief

that aid being granted today is sup
Elemental to income and resources

Investigators Alert
THE staff Of the division Is

cantS and recipients, and 1t

for preventing an ineligible person
from receiving public aid is fol-
lowed" the survey reported

in position instead to apprehend
cases and refer them to the proper
agenc, for care. Three-fourthS Of
the cases she handles involve sex
delinquency, and one-third are Sit
uations of incorrigibility, the survey
revealed.
The survey staff, discussing the
community program for veterans,
recommended that the expense Of
operating the Veterans Center be
accepted as legitimate under
taking of the Community Chest.
The need for the Center will con-
tinue long beyond the probable ter
mination date Of the War Fund. it
was added.
The group also recommended
thta the proposed Family and Chill
dren'S Center make at least the
part-time services of a worker avail
able to the Veterans Center.
No Psychologist Needed
A third recommendation was that
the Veterans Center not proceed
with employment Of a psychologist
since that service should be pro-
vided by the new Center.
Veterans are also civilians, and
as such, they and their immediate
families are entitled to all the pro-
tective services offered by govern
ment at the state and community
level. Among those services are old
age assistance, aid to the blind aid
to dependent children, vocational
rehabilitation and child welfare
services" the report stated.
THE Veterans Administrator
has wisely supplied a contact rep
resentative and a consultant on
training. Progressive, too, is the
plan for the Veterans Administra-
ton to place a doctor within the
Center. This means that veterans
will not need to travel to the Vet
Grams Hospital at Newington for
examination.
The survey commended the Red
Cross for its services and assist
ance to veterans particularly
through the home service branch,
The Red Cross works comparatively
with other agencies in the commun-
ity, 1t was also reported.
