EUROPE DRAFTS PLAN TO CURB UNEMPLOYMENT Highway Building, Waterway Improvements to Give Millions Jobs. BY HENRY WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Oct. 2.—With the probabilities that world-wide unemployment will reach 25,000,000 this winter, Europe has set to work energetically to solve her unemployment problem by a program both of International and national public works. i In this program the new European Economic Union, the League of Nations and the International Labor bureau all will play important roles,, It is calculated the unemployed in the United States alone mav reach 10,000,000, It, Is not expected that England will be able to diminish any her 5,000.000, while Germany counts on an increase to 7,000.000 during the winter. Figures from other countries makp the total estimate of 25,000,000 a conservative one, it is declared.

Europe's Program Vast As far as Europe is concerned, however, both the European Economic Union commission of the league as well as the individual nations have drawn up programs of public works that are expected to decrease in a great degree European unemployment The program of international public works, as drawn up by the international Labor Bureau and approved by the European Economic Union commission provides for 550,000,000 working days. In addition, the programs of national public works sent in to the league oy only thirteen European nations, out of a league total of twenty-six, provide for 83,300,000 working days. The program of international public works which will come largely under the jurisdiction of the European Economic Union and are intended to promote the latter by a (loser physical unity, include: Roads, Waterways Lead The creation of an international motor road system that would in- ■ lude one main artery passing from r ’aris, to Vienna and Athens; a '•cond passing from Paris, through Berlin and Warsaw to Moscow and : wo cross routes, one passing from •he Baltic to the Balkans and the other consisting of a trans-Alpine .’.rtery. A second project is the co-ordina-tion of all the waterway systems of Europe, which for the present are 1 ’rgely of a purely national charTter, into a general all-European international system. The third project is the creation m an international system of distribution of hydro-electric power for •11 of Europe that would give every nation the benefit of the natural hydraulic power that exists in certain countries but not in others. The fourth international project is the installation of a standardized utomatic coupling system on all of the European railways. This alone >' is estimated would give employment to 800.000 workers for a. period of five years. HONOR FOR CITY MAN Underwriters to Hear Newly Elected Head of Association.

POWELL GETS A WIFE IN NEW MOVIE STORY Warner Brothers Present Society "-Villain” in a Home Wrecking Role in ‘The Road to Singapore/ WILLIAM POWELL comes to the Apollo screen Saturday in his initial Warner Brothers production, “The Road to Singapore.” The film will be the first in which Powell has appeared on the Apollo screen since becoming a star in his own right. The story concerns the amorous love affairs of Hugh Dawltry, wealthy merchant, who is first seen returning to Khota, where he is notorious for his love making, especially with married women. During the voyage he tries unsuccessfully to interest Philippa Crosby, who is to marry Dr. George March in Khota. When they land in a rainstorm, he tricks her into going to his bungalow', but once again fails in his lovemaking.

Philippa marries Dr March, but life becomes so boring and monotonous, that she and Rene, her husband’s sister, invites Dawltry to the latter’s birthday dinner without Dr. March’s knowledge. Dawltry again tries to make love to Philippa and this time she is tempted to respond, but does not. However, Rene tries to attract Dawltry but her actions are noticed by her brother and he takes her with him when he escorts a patient to Colombo. Learning that Philappa is along, Dawltry invites her to dine with him at his bungalow and she accepts. The patient has died before Dr. March and Rene have boarded the boat and they return home to find Philippa away and Dawltry’s note lying on the table. Philippa is found in the cottage with Dawltry and she is forced to declare her love for the notorious romantic adventurer which leads to a series of exciting sequences before resulting in the final climax of the picture.

‘IRON MAN'OF CHICAGO COPS | IS ON THE JOB Citizens Look for New Deal as Terror of Thugs Becomes Chief. BY ROBERT T. LOUGHRAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct 2.—Chicago’s war with crime enters anew phase today with James Patrick Allman as new police commissioner. If ever these was a man who could i shake from the city its often repeated title of “crime capital of the . world,” that man is Allman, if his record of thirty-one aggressive years in the police department is any criterion. “Don’t think I’m tickled about this appointment,” he said in his even, deliberate tones that carry | the suggestion of brogue. “I’ve been up against this problem as a captain and I know what I’m in for now. “But if I don’t run the gangsters, hoodlums, gamblers and vice mongers out of Chicago it won’t be because I didn’t give them the best fight I could.” Got His Chance in 1921 The strapping six-footer was called “Brick” Allman when he! joined the department in 1900. His j hair was brick red then. Now it is! gray. Allman got his chance in 1921, four years after becoming a cap-' tain, when he was sent into the En- | glewood district on the south side.

Shootings were almost an every-day event. Allman w T ent in. He closed the speakeasies. The gangsters moved on. The shootings stopped. Same Story Everywhere When the "back-of-the-yards” district got out of hand, “Iron Man” was sent there. Joe Saltis and Prank McErlane were the gang chiefs whose word was law. But not after Allman got on the job. He closed the district up so tight Saltis couldn’t move a barrel of beer. Next he was called to the “front porch” of the stockyards, where Stubby McGovern, Charles (Bubs) Quinlan and their gunmen ruled with pistol and machine gun. When Allman pronounced his job done, the stockyards district was quiet. It was the same story in the Wa-

FOREIGN SALES OF SECURITIES FELTINMARKET Europe Rushes Liquidation on N. Y. Exchange; Hoover Unworried.
