Sweeping State Probe
In New York Relief
To Begin Tomorrow
By The Asseciatsd Press

NEW YORK, May 24-New York
City was engaged today In its most
extensive fnq,liry into municipal
affairs since the Seabury investiga-
ton in the days OF dapper Jimmy
Walker.
Long accustomed to explosive
issues In their city government, citi-
gems nondered an announcement
that State investigation would
betyin Monday into relief cases here
an6 read that Mayor ODwyer had
issued q bleak warning to any city
employe who goes bad"
Investigations primarily are con-
cerned with these charges:
1. Because of the housing short
age, the City Welfare Department
found homes In expensive hotel
suites for 81 families, one of which
received $640.52 monthly for a half
year.
2. Alleged irregularities occurred
In connection with leasing OF the
city,s vast pier and airport facilities.
State Official Opens Inquiry.
The first charge prompted State
Social Welfare Commissioner Robert
T. Lansdale, Republican, to launch
his investigation.
Cause of the States interest was
the fact 1t appropriates 80 per cent
Of the funds distributed by the mum
tcipal agency.
Democratic Mayor ODwyer stood
staunchly by his Welfare Depart
ment, asserting 1t was doing a good
Job in the face of a shortage of
personnel, housing shortage, in
creasing relief clients and the high
cost of living.
City Welfare Commissioner Ed
ward E. Rhatigan, who acknowl-
edged that needy families were liv-
ing in hotel suites because no other
shelter could be found for them,
said his department was spending
large sums of money without
proper control" due to q shortage
Of trained personnel.
Mr.. Rhatigan said his depart
ment's load had increased by 80 ,634
cases since August, 1945, in the face
Of a 777-worker staff shortage.
Other housing facilities already
have been found for all 81 families
which have been quartered in hotels,
he added.
ODwyer Backs Relief Fund.
He also had the Mayors indorse-
ment of the department policy Of
making supplemental relief pay
ments to 70 low-paid city employees.
Citizens wearied by the ironies of
the housing shortage seemed more
perplexed, however, by the complex
charges hurled in connection with
the leasing of profitable pier and air.
port facilities.
The pier phase of the investigation
began several days ago when Mayor
ODwyer forced the resignation of
I. James Brody as deputy commits
sioner in the Department of Marine
and Aviation. The Mayors investi-
gators reported that firms controlled
by James v. Auditore had been able

By the Associated Press

A Government committee last
night urged more protection fol-
Americas forgotten people OF
1947"-millions of migrants who
roam around for seasonal work.
The Federal Inter-Agency Com
mittee on Migrant Labor issued q
report asking for new Federal
State and local laws and for more
community understanding of mi
grants and their problems.
Marine Maj. Gen. Graves B
Erskine, chairman. used the for
gotten people" phrase in his fore
word.
"A sizable segment Of our popula-
ton, through community and State
neglect, has been robbed of so many
normal American and human rights
that it is almost unbelievable he
declared.
Children's Grievances Cited.
He said that child labor, sub
standard living and paddock
against education have destroyed
the rights of children" The mi
grants are "unorganized, unpro-
tected by workmen's compensation
Ilaws in most States, ineligible for
educational, health, or welfare bene-
fits"
The report says 100000 foreign
laborers who were imported during
the wartime labor shortage, enjoyed
guarantees "far more liberal" than
American migrants.
Yet-according to the report
migrant labor is necessary to the
Nations economy. Many industries
cannot operate successfully without
seasonal labor. Migrants create
wealth for the communities they
serve. Without them, crops would
be lost and food prices would rise.
Numbered by Millions.
Gen. Erskine set up the committee,
on which six agencies were repre-
sented, a year ago while he was re-
training and unemployment ad-
ministrator in the Labor Depart
ment. He retired from that post
April /. The department issued the
report for him.
The report estimates the "perma-
nent armies Of nomads" number
anywhere from 1000 900 to 5000, 900,
equalling the populations Of some
States.
A reduction in these armies is
recommended. Communities are
urged to cut their needs for outside
labor.
Legislation Urged.

mends this legislation:

eral Assembly Friday. Mrs. Rob-
ert W. Fennell, president of the
association, stated that members
voted at a recent meeting in favor
of the salary bill scale bill sub
mitted by Rep. Max c. Wilson OF
Caldwell county.
The bill has been referred to the
joint Appropriations Committee
and hearings will be at 8 p. m.
Thursday in Raleigh. Mrs. Fin
nell said that at present she knew
of no one planning to attend the
hearing from the local organlza-
ton.
Teaching as a profession was
the basis of the resolutions adopted
by cur association in favoring the
separation of teachers from other
state employees in salary discus
sions," Mrs. Fennell reported.
Support of the South Piedmont
plan by the classroom teachers
unit in this county reveals the split
of the Southeastern district of the
North Carolina Education associa-
ton over the two proposed pay
scale planes.
At a district meeting in De-
cember. representatives gave their
approval of the NCEA plan which
advocates a 20 per cent raise in
contrast to increases of 80 to 68
per cent presented in the South
Piedmont bill.
A meeting of the county NCEA
unit has been called for tomorrow
afternoon by John L. Gibson,
president, to discuss the salary is
sue. The group will meet at $3.50
.. m. in New Hanover high school.
In explaining differences between
the two plans, Gibson said that
the NCEA program calls for higher
pay for teachers and in addition
asks for truant officers, reduction
of teacher loads and adoption of a
better health program, whereas the
South Piedmont plan only advo-
Gates a raise in salary on a slid
ing scale.
According to Mrs. Fenne1l, the
minimum salary under the South
Piedmont bill for an inexperienced
college graduate would be $3.50
or $793 per month in contrast to
an approximate 1,494 under the
NCEA program. Present low
salary is SIPS per month.
IT the South Piedmont plan is
adopted" Mrs. Fennell said "a
teacher with Is years experience
may receive as much as $500 a
month in contrast to the $180 now
received. With the NCEA pro-
gram, the same teacher would
probably receive not more than
$3.50"
Miss Margery Alexander Of Char
lotte urged the members of the
local teachers group to support the
South Piedmont plan when she
spoke at a meeting last Monday.
Miss Alexander is one of the chief
proponents OF the. plan opposing the
|NCEA proposal.
