MESSAGE READY FOR CONGRESS ON SOCIAL LAWS Far-Reaching Program to Be Given Legislators Tomorrow.

Bv rnifrif Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 16. President Roosevelt will send his farreaching social security program to Congress tomorrow. His program to proside security of the home and employment, health and old-age protection is the keystone of his long-range planned proposals for a “more abundant life,” Administration leaders said. In response to the President's desire. Congressional leaders planned speedy consideration of the program, which is expected to provide unemployment insurance, old-age pensions, child welfare, maternity care, medical services for the poor and related social services. The program would launch the Federal Government and co-oper-ating states upon a broad plan of social rehabilitation to affect virtually every' man. woman and child in the United States. The program, when effective would provide, its sponsors believe, a bulwark against future depressions For the wage earner it would provide an income in case of unemployment; for those over 65 years of age it would give a monthly income estimated at S4O to SSO a month, those who have worked on the program have indicated.

Good Dr. Wirt’s Hurt! He’d ‘Phooey’ on Huey Redistribution of Wealth Idea Just an ‘lllusion,’ Great Red-Chaser Discloses.

BY JOE COLLIER Timet Staff Writer DR. WILLIAM A. WIRT, superintendent of Gary (Ind.) schools and a member of the lobbying American Liberty League, who for years has fijoded newspaper offices with opinionated tomes typed and prepared in school offices, today issued a copyrighted complaint against the ei trance of propaganda into the schools.

As an offickl of a city whose principal land o.vner and taxpayer is the United States Steel Corp., Dr. Wirt, of “eat-and-tell” fame, arrayed himself against the Journal of the National Education Association, charging that redistribution of wealth, which he said the magazine advocated, was one of ‘ three illusions” which “have crystallized public opinion in favor of a change in our social and economic order.” * The other two “illusions,” he said, were that this country’s private capitalistic system is bankrupt, and that the country has a very large excess production capacity. nan DR. WIRT appealed in his 35page article for “intellectual honesty.” In an allegorical preface he defines the “average man” as one who believes that the old social and economic order is the refuge of the vested interests and that these interests have been robbing him. Dr. Wirt, who gained more or less note as the man who publicly mistrusted the “brain trust,” defines the “ultra-radical” as the man w’ho “knows'' that the “average man” wants to believe that 2 per cent of the people have 80 per cent of the wealth and that he, “the average man,” would have plenty if he were not “robbed" of his share. Dr. Wirt defines “the leaders” as those who have waited “Loo lontf.” “The average man does not know,” he declares, “that when a planned economy is complete enough to succeed as an economic order, it becomes Communism.” Proceeding to his contention that redistribution of wealth is an unworkable illusion. Dr. Wirt quotes the Journal of the N. E. A. as saying: “The central economic problem in the United States involves the distribution of wealth. Wealth has become so highly concentrated that it is breaking down the entire economic machinery, spreading poverty, destroying the small community, and denying youth an opportunity to make a start in life. Only in proportion as we put people before profits and bring about the better distribution of wealth, are we on the road to recovery and advance.” tt n a TO this Dr. Wirt replies, in part: “The salaries of 50 executives are quoted. No effort is made in the article quoted to encourage the use of the facts given so that the thinking of teachers may be straight. No effort is made to encourage the securing of additional facts that might help social science thinking. No real effort, therefore, is made to make social and economic progress possible. Every effort, however, seems to be made to appeal to prejudice and to inflame class hatred. Thus, social progress is obstructed. “When one adds these salaries and bonuses the facts are ascertained that, in 1929, the salaries totaled 54.839.743 and the bonuses totaled $4,432,569. The sum of the salaries and bonuses paid is $9.272.312. When income taxes are deducted, these persons received about $6,000,000. Other deducductions such as contributions and savings w r ill bring their consumption total dow’n to 54.500.000. There are 49.000.000 workers. We apparently got into the depression. according to the article quoted, because we did not get our share of this total. Our share by not paying anything to the 50 officials would have been 9 cents.” Dr. Wirt closes with a suggestion that his “facts'’ be put into a series of mathematical tables and that students in schools use them as texts.

The Theatrical World Sir Guy Standing, Stage Favorite Here, Comes Back in Brilliant Movie Role BY WALTER D. HICKMAN ___

SIR GUY STANDING, who has appeared in Indianapolis several times, on English's stage, is coming back—but in the movies. On one of his appearances here, I visited him at his hotel and found him painting in oil on the monument on the Circle. Sir Guy found time for many things while he was here and at that confided that he w’as thinking of going into the movies. Since then he has appeared in many movies, but he has waited a long time for his very big picture. That picture is “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer,” with a male cast which is the last word. At the time I found him painting he said that with his knowledge of fencing, combat and the like he would some day have a great movie. His faith in himself has resulted in his appearance in one of the very great pictures of the year. A few facts on “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” are as follows: “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” went into production more than four years ago when Paramount sent Ernest B. Schoedsack at the head of an expedition to northern India to film important background sequences for the picture. Adapted from a best-selling novel of the same name by Francis YeatsBrown, it has been cast and recast several times. In the chief roles are Gary Cooper as Captain McGregor, Franchot Tone as Lieut. Forsythe, Richard Cromwell as Lieut. Stone, and Sir Guy Standing as Colonel Stone, C.
