FIVE BILLIONS NEEDED IN '35 TO HELP IDLE Congress to Be Asked to Appropriate Sum for Work Relief. (Copyright 1934. By United Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—Congress must appropriate at least $5 000.000.000 to provide work for the unemployed in 1935, it appeared today from a review of 1934 Federal construction and relief costs. Public works, emergency relief, ,the Civilian Conservation Corps and the now defunct Civil Works Administration altogether spent about $3,110,000,000 in 1934 creating work and financing relief for some 19,500,000 persons. Costs are not expected to decline materially in the next few months, although the Administration hopes for a business revival. American Federation of Labor figures showed, however, that unemployment increased by 400,000 persons in November. Harold L. Ickes, Public Works Adirflnistrator, declared that “employment of some 2.000,000 persons” can be traced to the $3,300,000,000 in public works expenditures during the past year, he pointed out “approximately 7.000.000 persons,” including dependents of those gainfully employed. received benefits directly or indirectly from the PWA program. 9100 Projects Completed PWA. he said, spent more than s2.o''. ,000.000 on ali phases of public worM. completed 9100 construction projects, while 7,600 are being built, and 2.800 have received allotments. About 32.000.000,000 in applications still are pending. Mr. ekes, looking forward to 1935, said ‘ PWA has cleared its decks for action and can launch, in short order, whatever new program the President recommends and Congress approves.” He intimated lowcost housing and subsistence homesteads would be its backbone. FERA spent around $1,051,407,479 in 1934 giving jobs, food and clothing to a gigantic relief roll that averaged 17.000.000 dependents a month. Actual expenditures for the first nine months, accordi’.g to Mr. Hopkins, totaled $676,407 479. Allotments for October. November and December were estimated at $375,000,000. New Policy Adopted The December relief list reached the 19,000,000-nanie mark. Mr. Hopkms took immediate st%ps to reduce it by announcing that, after Feb. 1, states, counties and municipalities must raise and spend their own money to care for about 4,000.000 unemployable—chronic dependents physically or mentally unable to work. Although Mr. Hopkins’ order w r ill reduce Federal relief rolls by 20 per cent, Administration officials previously had estimated unemployment would reach its peak next February with 23.000.000 persons needing aid. If those predictions hold true, the number now on relief, will remain more or less stat c until spring. Mr. Hopkins’ o~der was interpreted as opening the way for substitution of work-relief for directrelief next year. Purchase of materials necessary in work-relief will increase casts about 15 per cent. CWA spent $814,000,000 between Nov. 15, 1933. and March 31. 1934. when it was in effect. Officials estimated the program cost $400,000,000 during the first three months of this year. Costs of CCC activities were approximately $360,000,000 during 1934. Camps maintained an average of slightly more than 300.000, who sent some $85,000,000, or five-sixths of their earnings, home to dependents. PWA and FERA are marking time pending action of Congress in granting new funds for the work. Mr. Ickes has between $7,000,000 and $3.000000 on hand for allotment to construction projects. Mr. Hopkins has estimated the $200,000.000 he has for the start of 1935 will last only until Feb. 15.

Joan Crawford, Clark Gable Strike New High in ‘Forsaking All Others’

THERE is going to be a lot of talk about Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery in “Forsaking All Others.” Miss Crawford, Montgomery and Gable throw this modem story into high gear the second the story opens as Montgomery gets tight the night before his mar- - ■ .... - riage to Joan, marries an old flame, thus leaving Joan ml without a bride- S groom as she H I|j|| started to walk to K the altar. Joan ftp takes it on the ' p(|l chin for a while. She has her best Hjjpp| : . i , friend in Clark ||g / ,/, ’\> Gable but she / 7 1 ’ \ takes fiendish de- ~ light in monopolizing the atten- Joan Crawford tions of Montgomery, thus throwing his wife into a Mexican fit. But the showdown comes and Joan learns what a mess a woman may get into when she starts wrecking another woman's home. This little sketch of the sfory may seem too serious but it is played in the lightest and merriest way by this good acting trio. They poke fun at each other and at everything in the world. Even Gable turns Joan over his knee and gives her a good old-fash-ioned spanking with a hair brush. Joan and Montgomery ride the same bicycle and go headlong into a hog pen filled with hoga and dirt. Watch the fun that Montgomery gets out of the scene where he pretends that he is the manager of a hot-dog stand and insists that the proper drink is milk and hard cider. I know that the women are going to rave over the many marvelous gowns that Miss Crawford wears in this movie. Montgomery shows that he can be a grand clown and he even resorts to women's skirts to get a bunch cf laughs. There are two other fine funmakers in this movie—Charles Butterworth and Billie Burke. Don’t approach “Forsaking Ali Others” in a serious mood. This

The movie is on view at Loew's Palace. n n n Whiteside Plays Here THERE are very interesting sidelights surrounding the one-day engagement last Satin day of Walker Whiteside at English’s. Here is a great romantic star bringing back a play of days that have passed in the theater. In doing that he appeals to our elders in place of the present generation. “The Master of Baiiaotrae” by Stevenson is an old-fashionea play mixed with talk, a duel and intrigue. It takes a fine actor to attempt the role of the master. And Mr. Whiteside is an artist in this type of role. He is studying now anew play

which he hopes to have the Shuberts produce. He will try it out in several cities on this present tour which will take him to the Pacific Coast and back. Another interesting fact is that he is carrying a heavy production, even carrying the chairs, tables and the like on tour instead of picking them up in each city. Incidentally, the improper placing of one of the chairs, which obstructed the view of part of the audience during the second act, was the only real blemish at the matinee performance. When the star’s attention was called to the fact, he said: “The chair’s out,” and it was out at the night performance. Also, I had a great thrill to see hundreds of people going back stage after the performance to greet the star in his dressing room. In all the rush of the two performances Saturday, Mr. Whitside

had rime to make a broadcast and to visit the Variety Club at the Ciaypool. The only sad thing of the engagement that he played to only fair audiences. u THE Variety Gambol, an entertaining group of diversified types of tumbling, acrobatics and adagio work, is nicely presented by eight performers on the Lyric stage bill. Summers and Hunt are seen again in a duo of comedy in which a hick lad and lass meet and carry on. The comedy isn’t always catching but the two picrent their wares in a convincing manner. Hal Young and company are heard in Mr- Young’s own arrangements of popular song hits; Burns and Kaye have some “taking” humor in an act called “Leap Year”; Dan Sherman and family sing the old hill-billy type of vocal offerings; and the Five Tip-Top Girls spend a great deal of energy in their acrobatic act which includes several difficult stunts. The picture on. view is Lew Ayres’ latest, “The Lottery Lover.” With him are seen Pat Patterson and a newcomer to the screen, Peggy Fears. The action takes place
