F. D. R. SHOWS GAINS MADE IN RECOVERY PLAN President, In Radio Speech, Points To Gains In Employment Washington, Oct. 25. —(U.R) —Dre-, ■ Renting a cheerful picture ot the new deal's efforts to lessen the I nation’s relief load, President Roosevelt today reported that J about 5,000,000 persons have been : reemployed since he entered the I White House on March 4, 1933. The nation, he said, is emerging I “happily and rapidly" from the "years ot deep depression,” and "even those industries which were long backward in showing signs j ot recovery are putting their best | foot forward.” He declared he has greater con-. fidence that private industry is beginning to take up the unemployment slack, and urged the public to continue contributions to private charities so that federal, state, and local governments might be freed from relief burdens. Mr. Roosevelt’s optimistic reI port was contained in a brief talk last night in behalf of the 1935 mobilization for human needs. It was delivered from the diplomatic reception room of the White House just 12 hours after the returned to the capital from a threeweek sea going vacation. Declaring that he possessed "good*news,” the President added: “The results of the September employment survey have just come to me from the secretary of labor. During the month of September 350,000 men and women were re- ’ turned to employment in the reporting private industries of the nation, and the money in weekly pay envelopes of these industries was $12,000,000 greater than their weekly pay envelopes in the previous month of August.” He said this had brought the to-! tai re-employment in private in- 1 dustry since his inauguration to i nearly 5,000.000 persons, with a i weekly payroll increase ot $104.000.000. Employment in Septem-1 : her, he said, was at the November, 4"f930, level, and payrolls at the May. 1931, figure. Recalling his recent appeal to private industry to increase its payrolls and to provide jobs. Mr. Roosevelt said the labor department estimates "lead me to a greater confidence that private in-1 i dustry is living up to my hope." “We seem to be taking up the slack." he said. Critics of the administration's : $4,000,000,000 campaign to find jobs for 3.500,000 and end direct relief were answered l>y a prediction that the “great majority of j these people" will be at work within a month.” The program, the president declared, is creating "bona fide" jobs. Mr. Roosevelt said the “full force and effect” of his vast social j security program “cannot, of i i course, become operative until , several years have elapsed, nor will this law in any sense replace the proper and legitimate fields now covered by private contribn- ; lions to private charities." He declared that so-called heavy industries had shown "encouraging signs of improvement." according (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) O NEWCASTLE MAN FOR GOVERNOR IL H.
