LA GUARDIA ‘AMAZED’ BY LEHMAN CRITICISM New York Mayor Resents Attack on Financial Plans. By United Press % NEW YORK. Jan. 6.—Either a compromise or a direct appeal to the people was seen today as the probable retort of Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia to the letter of Governor Herbert H. Lehman which sharply criticised Mayor La Guardia's plan for making himself dictator over the governmental finances of the country's largest city. Governor Lehman thought Mayor La Guardia’s proposals would scrap not only the city charter but state laws affecting the city. He feared “dangerous short cuts” and declared that democracy should not be “scuttled.” Mayor La Guardia said he found the Governor’s letter “unbelievable.” WINE AND ‘HANGOVER’ REMEDY ARE STOLEN Liquor and Coffee Taken from Parked Automobiles.

FLAIL DOCTORS FOR CHILDBIRTH DEATHSIN N. Y. Medical Academy Council Gives Approval of Subject Report. By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 6.—A previously published and harshly criticised report charging the medical profession with responsibility for the majority of childbirth deaths in the metropolitan area had the unanimous approval today of the council of the academy of medicine. The report, published last November by a subcommittee of the committee on public health relations of the academy, found that approximately 66 per cent of the deaths resulting from childbirths could have been avoided through application of medical knowledge. The paper further charged that 61 per cent of these deaths were directly attributable to the medical profession. Approval of the report was disclosed by Dr. Bernard Sachs, president of the academy, at its annual meeting last night. He charged it was the duty of the profession “to remedy, if possible, any evils for which the medical and obstetrical practitioners might be responsible.” “It has been known for years to the public health relations committee and to obstetrical organizations that the maternal morality statistics of this city were unfavorable.” Dr. Sachs said. “A carefully drawn report was submitted, revealing a discouraging state of affairs.” REPEAT BONUS CASHJEMANDS V.

KEEPING UP WITH CONGRESS

JOHNSON PLANS TO REORGANIZE NRA STRUCTURE Labor Leaders Expected to Make New Drive for Objectives. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The whole NRA code structure, covering about 85 per cent of industry, is being re-opened to stop it from creaking at various joints. Administrator Hugh Johnson plans to call all code authority members here early in February in an attempt to iron-out inconsistencies “to soft of mop up this work and organize the things that have been done”—as -to prices, business regulations and other code questions. Coincident with this, President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers in a speech in Philadelphia today presented a demand for fundamental revision of both the recovery and the business and labor reform phases of NRA. Propose Thirty-Hour Week | He proposed that NRA under its present powers restore 1926 production schedules and install a thirtyhour week and a 50-cent an hour pay minimum, requiring that workers be paid not less than their 1926 wages in dollars a week. He criticised NRA’s present policy as “temporizing and exceedingly slow in its application.” This program will meet the opposition of General Johnson, who has indicated he believes industry unable to absorb even the additional cost of a thirty-five-hour week. Most codes specify forty-hour week. However, General Johnson’s announcement that he will consider changes in all codes is expected to bring anew drive from labor men for their objectives. Reopening this week of the electrical manufacturing code for another purpose brought a thirty-hour week, 50-cent minimum demand, from an industrial union. Increased Labor Cost Mr. Lewis’ program would Increase industry’s labor cost by 25 per cent. But its complete re-em-ployment of workers, including those throwm out of jobs by machines, would “put mass power about 25 per cent ahead of the price level,” he said. He suggested his program should be undertaken first in basic industries. If some such plan is not adopted, Mr. Lewis said, it will be necessary for organized labor to ask congress to revise the recovery act to require labor-capital copartnership. General Johnson in telling of his plan for checking up on code operations said he would see to it that complainants “are not molested” by their competitors. Lumber Code Reopening Meanwhile the lumber code, one of the first approved, will be reopened at a healing Tuesday. Unofficial, but apparently well-founded reports to NRA indicate this code is not working as well as it should. The hearing also wall consider consumer complaints w’hich have been assembled by the consumers’ advisory board. The operations of the retail lumber code will be considered at the same time. NRA’s price investigation to determine code results on the generally voiceless consumer also —• open Tuesday. All price developments under codes, except in lumber and oil, will be taken up at this hearing, partly through testimony of city and state purchasing agents, and partly through surveys made by price experts for the consumers’ advisory board. Reports both to General Johnson and the consumers’ board indicate that most of the major difficulties so far are centered in about a halfdozen major industries, although minor changes may be made in many. Held on Dry Charge Armed with a search warrant, police raided the home of Gabino Mendez, 33, of 1232 West New’ York street, last night, and seized two tins of marijuana and a half-gallon of corn liquor. He was charged with possession of narcotics.

Roosevelt Contemplates $4,000,000,000 Additional National Debt Liability

Sum to Be Used to Bolster Mortgage Refinancing Programs. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 6. A 54,000,000,000 increase in the national debt liability is contemplated by the administration today to bolster the mortgage refinancing programs of the Home Owners Loan Corporation and the farm credit administration. The former is in rather serious difficulties. Its bonds have sagged. A federal guarantee is expected to be proposed for the farm credit administration and perhaps for both next week. High councils of the administration are convinced a guarantee would lift the bonds from the 80’s to par or near it. There, if the truth be known, is the hottest and most authentic market tip/ out of Washington in many a day. f Debt Liability Potential Each of these credit organizations has a potential $2,000,000,000 bond issuing authority. The overall estimate of a $4,000,000,000 increase in the national debt liability may be out of line a matter of $100,000,000 or so. But it is substantially correct. The increase in the debt liability of the nation is potential rather than absolute owing to the fact that it must be assumed that the refinanced mortgages ultimately will be discharged and the bonds thereby retired without a call on the treasury. But if any deficiency existed, it is the judgment of the administration that the government would have a moral obligation to make good even if a legal guarantee were not provided. In creating the two organizations, congress pledged the government to guarantee the interest but not the principal of these bonds. The bonds were to be given to note holders in

an effort to lighten the mortgage loan on farm and home property owners. That congress will be asked to guarantee the principal of farm credit administration bonds is practically certain. On the highest authority it may be said that a guarantee of Home Owners’ Loan Corporation bonds is likely. A federal guarantee at this session of congress w’ould increase from $7,309,068,211 to $11,309,068,211 the net increase in the public debt liability at the end of this fiscal year. And, instead of a net public debt liability of $31,834,000,000 on June 30, 1935. when Mr. Roosevelt expects the country to begin paying its own way, the debt burden actually w-ould be $35,834,000,000 if all the bonds were issued. • That unprecedented figure is $9,237,298,352 greater than the peak load of w’ar indebtedness which was reached In August, 1919. The favorable reaction of money markets to Mr. Roosevelt's deficit message this w’eek is believed to have encouraged the administration to move toward a further extension of public liability. Home Loan Bonds Refused Many mortgage and note holders are refusing to accept the home loan bonds. That attitude has been particularly marked in the vicinity of the capital despite the use in some instances of personal letters from Mr. Roosevelt. The government’s “bond salesmen” have presented them in vain. Backed as they are only by a guarantee as to interest, the bonds have slumped well below’ par. There is no formal trading in them. The government is reported, in fact, rather to have discouraged the provision of a regular market. But home loan ou’ners’ bonds were quoted yesterday at 86 >i. The disinclination of a mortgage note holder to accept securities so far below par and at a low’er interest rate than that of the original obligation is understandable to a degree, at least.

PUBLIC WORKS AS PERMANENT PLANFORECAST President Seeks Insurance Against Unemployment in Future. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—A permanent plan of public works to take up future unemployment slack was projected today by President Roosevelt as another phase of the widely radiating national plan which reveals itself as the new deal develops. As tentatively drafted, the new Roosevelt public works plan would extend over twenty-five to fifty years, with provision for regular annual appropriations by congress from current revenues, as soon as the country returns to normal. The theory is that this fund would be built up as a sort of insurance* fund against unemployment. When a period of business recession occurred this reservoir could be tapped immediately and the government could embark upon a series of work-producing projects such as are now under way, including those of the civil works administration and civilian conservation corps. Natural Developments Planned In outlining the plan at the White House, the President made it clear that by “public works” he includes such projects as the latter two, as well as reforestation of marginal lands no longer fit for cultivation, prevention of erosion, flood control and forest conservation. The public works plan also dovetails into the proposed development of the nation’s watersheds along lines laid dowm in the Tennessee basin. This vast piece of public improvement is a task that will take years to compile. The President revealed his public works plan in response to an inquiry as to whether “new’ money” for public w’Orks for the next fiscal year would be limited to the $500,000,000 in his budget. He did not disclose w'hether additional amounts might be required later. Groups in congress think the public works program should be considerably enlarged at once. Fund Long Advocated Ever since the 1921-22 depression various groups have been advocating a public w’orks reserve fund. But the 1929 depression caught the country unprepared and it is not until now. w T hen a test has been made of the efficacy of such projests that public opinion has been roused to a point where a beginning may be made. Discussion of this plan is expected to revive interest at the coming session of congress in unemployment insurance and old-age pensions, another suggested remedy to provide for the lean years winch seem -inevitable. v Senator Robert F. Wagner (Dem., N. Y.) is sponsoring an unemployment insurance bill and is considering an amendment to the national industrial recovery act requiring that industry set aside reserve funds for this purpose.
