APRIL 4. 1935

NEW HIGH FOR RELIEF COSTS IS PREDICTED Discontinued CWA. Strikes and Drought Blamed in Survey. 1 r.-.nvrffht. ms hr tTnttM Pr*w> NEW YORK. Apnl 4—The steady depletion of bank reserves hold by middle class unemployed families, discontinuance of CWA projects, strike crop failures and drought may brine the nations 1935 relief cost to anew high. it was indicated today in a United Press survey of V states Relief expenditures of those areas surveyed approximated 51.323.113000 in 1934 On the basis of anticipated relief needs in 18 of those states, the figure may rise to approximately $1 580 000.000 before the end of 1935 The estimates were by state relief officials. The increase, the survey indicated, will go to feed, clothe and shelter 90 000 or more persons who will be forced to join the already overburdened relief hr.es estimated at *ome 11 705 000 in 40 stites. Probable decreases in nine states ard a continuation ol UCi relief expenditure, in seven others offset some of the increased relief cost anticipated in the states forced to bear the major relief burden —New York. Pennsylvania. California, Illinois. Ohio and New Jersey. Six States Questionable Six ntner states are listed as questionable through the refusal of their state officials to estimate either costs or numbers of persons on relief for this year. In computing the anticipated relief rnsts for 1935—perhaps $260.000.900 above the 1934 costs —of thes° rinub’ful states, the United Press used the 1934 figures in computing apparent upward or downward trends. Six Southern states led the group forecasting decreases in relief costs. Also in tin., group were two Western and one Middle Western state. I\ o Southern, two Eastern and iwo W*,rem states estimated their costs would remain stationary, as did one in the middle section. Throe Southern states appeared on the doubtful list; two from the West and one East. The survey show.-d the majority of states reporting from the East. Middle West and West still laboring under an increasing relief burden, with two Southwestern states anticipaunjj higher costs. California fo\b troubled Os the Eastern states expecting Increased relief costs, Pennsylvania leads with the anticipation its 1935 costs will approximate $260,000,000 and its relief rolls an average of l.finonon persons due to depletion of savings accounts. Last year. th° commonwealth expended $126,032.703 for relief. New Jersey, absorbing many former CWA workers, expert, so add $23,000,000 to its burden for a total of $84,000,000 to care foe 611000 families California predicts its last year's cost will be- more than doubled to approximately $182,000,000 for its 537.000 needy. The cause, according to Dr. N O. Silvermaster. director of research, is due partly to strikes in the sugar, docks and mines and to a reduced cotton crop. Illinois’ 300.000 unemployed are gradually becoming welfare burdens as their bank accounts shrivel, officials report. It is expected tlie relief needs there will approximate $125 000.000 compared with $106.000 000 in 1934. Indiana Expects Decrease The state of Ohio, with indications that relief is showing a ‘progressive increase" expects its relief burden to mount to $126,262,384. in taking rare of 1.23.5000 persons. Wayne Coy. Director of Relief in Indiana, prophesies that state's relief load ot 400.000 at a cost of $25.000 000 will be “slightly lower this y* ir" Five Southern states Alabama. Arkansas. North Carolina. Tennessee and Florida —all of which spent between $12,000,000 and $20.000 000 last year, anticipate decreases. Arkansas expended 52.000.000 for drought relief in 1934. which it hopes will not be duplicated. Conflict of opinion regarding New York s relief problem leaves that state in the doubtful column, although for the month of February. 1935. it expended s22.Boo.ooo—more money than the states of New Mexico and Wyoming contemplate spending this year. New York spent $217,951,935 on an average of 519.273 persons during 1934. it was reported. adding that recent load increases are beginning to decline. Tins trend is disputed by the mayor's committee on unemployment relief. Radio.

Cal., April 4.—Undismayed by the sudden death of -Phoenix,” canine subject of his latest ‘‘life after death” experiment, Dr. Robert Cornish turned back to his test tubes today for anew solution to life’s oldest mystery. Phoenix was put to death Tuesday, revived four minutes later. Dr. Cornish revised his original method bv putting the dog to sleep to slow heart action. Th - solution used failed to work, and the pulse increased from normal to beyond 200. Phoenix then died a second time.

U. S. ATTACKS GAS ‘GALAHAD 1 IN FRAUD TRIAL Frank Parish and Partners Duped Public. U. S. Charges. B’J Timex Sprrinl CHICAGO. April 4.—The United States government in Federal Court today charged that Frank P. Parish was far from the Galahad of the natural gas industry he pictured himself when, a few weeks ago. he stumped the Middle West against large operators now in power. Mr. Parish is being tried on charges of using the mails to defraud. Then he was barnstorming the region, egging on to action all manner of commissions and committees of inquiry into the alleged monopoly in the industry, supplying data about the Panhandle Eastern pipe Line Corp. which he said, under his ownership and direction, would have supplied natural gas to the entire vast region at lower prices than noware current, but which, he said, was wrested from him by the Columbia Gas and Electric Corp. and the J. H. Hillman Jr. interests. Asks Return of Properties He now has pending in Wilmington (Del.) courts a suit asking the return of properties. Also in Wilmington (Del.) courts are charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission that the Columbia Corp. is indeed operating in the region in restraint of trade. Nevertheless, the Federal government today charged in court that Mr. Parish and his three co-defend-ants. former officials of the Mis-souri-Kansas Pipe Line Corp.. while his financial and promoting star was waxing, committed the following legal errors: That Mr. Parish and Samuel J. Maddin, co-defendant, had made large and excessive profits from the operation of the company (Mis-souri-Kansas), which profits they had converted to their own use. That they made untrue and unjustified statements as to the holdings and earnings of MissouriKansas and its subsidiaries. Misrepresented Cash, Is Claim That the public was wrongly led to believe that the famed du Pont family was actively interested in the company: That they misrepresented the cash position of Missouri-Kansas, including a misrepresentation that it had $27,000,000 in cash; That stock dividends were issued when earnings did not justify dividends: That the market was rigged in Chicago and New York and the price of Misouri-Kansas artificially

SO WHAT! SAYS HUEY’S MAN TO ZAHND’S TIRADE Kingfish Shielded So Far From Unkind Words of Local Man. There’s some pretty nasty mudthrowing going on in national politics, and the people ought to know about it. So. the people are herewith advised that if the Indianapolis-born National Progressive party is mad at Huey Long. Huey has not heard of it. and strongly intimates that he will not increase his body-guard because of it. Moreover. Senator Huey, through Earle J. Christenberrv, his secretary in charge of unpleasant situations, states that John Zahnd. Indianapolis. National Progressive party secretary, probably is trying to get some publicity by writing, first cooing, then scathing, letters to the Senator. Mr. Zahnd recently wrote Huey an angry letter describing in two full single-spaced pages the Senator’s vast unpopularity with Mr. Zahnd. The Senator, Mr. Zahnd wrote, had failed to answer personally tha request of the party that he be speaker at the mass meeting July 4 to be held in this city. Mr. Zahnd and his party had considered .Liking the Senator to be their presidential candidate in the next campaign. and the Senator had gone smarty on them by answering only in three form letters. No personal touch at all to that! This led Mr. Zahnd to believe, ne wrote, that the Senator was in league with the Democrats; that his share-the-wealth project corroded the soul of a just man, and that the Senator didn't need to answer the letter at all—so there! The Senator’s secretary replied that Mr. Zahnd’s second tirade has not been received and that Senator Long already has more than 150 invitations to speak on July 4. some 149 of which will have to be eliminated.
