UNEMPLOYMENT NEXT TO DRAW HOOVER'S HELP President to Spur Building Program, Job Agencies; Opposes Dole. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Preii Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—President Hoover has decided to accelerate efforts of the government to alleviate unemployment, it was learned at the White House. Speeding up of the public building program and strengthening the federal service system are the two means he intends to stress most against expected agitation for a dole next winter, it is said. The President is arranging to devote almost all his time to these matters, now that he has turned from the international problem. He is planning to confer either at Camp Rapidan or at the White House with assistant Secretary of Treasury Perry K. Heath to determine how the public building program may be moved up another notch. Wants Red Tape Cut The cumbersome methods required by law before construction projects actually can be started are causing him concern and he is seeking to find how some of this red tape can be eliminated. For several months Mr. Hoover has been working to this end. He is said to be satisfied with the results so far, but believes he may be able to push more than $300,000,000 of projects into actual construction before fall. There is much to be done between the time money is appropriated by congress and the time workmen are hired to begin a job. Surveys must be made, sites purchased and contracts let, all of which takes considerable time. Complaints have been received from many points that there have been unreasonable delays. Silent on Green Speech Meanwhile reports continue to indicate the seriousness of general employment conditions. President Green of the American Federation of Labor estimated 6,000,000 men are out of work. He proposed in a speech Tuesday that Mr. Hoover immediately call a conference of financial, labor and economic leaders to discuss conditions. The White House gave no indication that Mr. Hoover has such a conference in mind. Comment on Green’s speech was refused. It was said no word had been received directly from him. The President is pleased with the way the federal employment service is working to help find jobs for the men. A report of Secretary of Labor Doak indicated to him that 281,769 jobs were filled through the federal agencies between April 1 and July 31.

'CATHOLIC RULE' BRANDED MYTH BY PROTESTANT Book Refutes ‘Whisper’ That Roman Church Members Hold Key Posts. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. s.—The Intangible, “whispered” charge during political campaigns that Roman Catholics were gaining control of important government posts was refuted today in a book, “Will America Become Catholic?” by John F. Moore, a Protestant, published by Harper & Brothers. In spite of the numerical strength of the Roman Catholic church, there are three times as many Methodists as Catholics in the house of representatives, Moore writes, and the Episcopal church, one-fifteenth the size of the Roman church, is represented in the senate by five times as many senators. Moore, a former Y. M. C. A. sec-

retary, said a Protestant paper recently published statistics showing large percentages of Catholics on police forces, government clerical staffs, and school staffs. Moore’s conclusion, however, is that the Catholic church is making “slight impression on the political consciousness of the nation in its larger and broader aspects.” Other statistics gathered by the author show that only 1 per cent of the diplomatic service personnel is Catholic; not one of the for freight state Governors is Catholic, and that about 3 per cent of the treasury department staff are members of the Roman church. “It is interesting to note that in : the seventy-third congress there j were sixty-five Masons in the senate as against six Catholics," Moore writes. ‘There were 304 Masons in the house against thirty-five Catholics, and thirty-six Governors are ' Masons. Yet there are about 20,000.000 Catholics in the country and ' only about 3,000,000 Masons.” Two Join Realty Firm Two new members of the Waddy '& Springer real estate firm, 159 East Market street, were announced today by Herbert O. Waddy. They are H. N. Edington, local real estate dealer for fifteen years, and H. J. Wiethe, who has been with a leading realty company for thirty-four years.
