JOHNSON FLAYS U. S. POLICY IN AWARDING JOBS Forcing Work Applicants to Go on Relief First Target of Attack. BY C.F.V HI GH JOHNSON WASHINGTON May 2.--Here is a letter typical of manv i receive, and of a dozen cases that 1 know personally. "I am a chemist., a graduate ol University, unemployed for three years. For a while I lived on my small savings. A mortgage took my home. I borrowed to full loan value or my insurance. It has lapsed. I have pawned or sold ail my things of any value that. b\ little economies in the days of my job. I was able to afford. I have managed to exist by odd jobs of any kind from mowing a lawn to wielding a pick. "I want to retain my pride. Speaking for myself (although there are many like me), in seeking employment in Federal projects, I have been told ‘to go on relief first.' This I have not done. I won t do it. I have given up everything to avoid doing it. “Can t some channel be opened whereby those who would rather starve than go on relief as a means to employment can be given a chance to earn by a job? Surely the continued forcing of men to accept lelief is not conducive to good citizenship” This is taken from a White House statement of April 26: “. . . it will be the duty of the Progress Division to see that the actual persons to be employed on the separate projects will come from those w’nose name' are on the relief rolls.” Angels and ministers of grace, defend us! We accepted work-relief at three times the cost of the dole to preserve the American heritage of self-respect. Here are men who will go to the gaunt pit of starvation before they will pass under this yoke of humiliation as a means to a job. I ardently believe that there is no shame to sufferers from the depression in accepting government help They should be convinced of that but. if they ran t be persuaded to it, we have no right to starve them into it. If a proud man who will not accept relief can make as good a case for a lob as a man who has been living on relief, what are we to say of a rule that refuses it to him 0 It has neither human sympathy nor common sense. It is the castiron stupidity of bureaucracy. We are talking of a pride that no blandishment can break down. It may be silly or haughty or even arrogant pride. But it is an American pride that has written on our ; scroll of history the record of the Alamo or, in less spectacular letters, the story of every log cabin or sod house that carried our frontiers across the continent. The streams of westward immi-

On a holiday—but bowed by his official cares. Premier Ramsay MacDonald of England, vacationing at Eastbourne, was caught in this informal pose while out for a stroll. The toll taken of his vi*talitv by years of public service is clearly revealed. DANCE IS PLANNED Nineteenth Ward Democratic Club Party to Be Held Tomorrow. The Nineteenth Ward Democratic organization will give a dance at Holy Trinity Hall, Holmes-av and St. Clair-st, tomorrow night. Carter Leap is chairman. Music will be furnished by Harold Corke's Sky Harbor orchestra. Proceeds from the dance will be used to equip a new clubroom. gration were not only led, they w r ere exclusively manned, by those who were willing to dare life—raw, hard and dangerous—asking help from no man and from God approval only, and sometimes not even that. If we are to spend billions to crush out what is left of that fire in this country, our money will be worse than lost. • Copyright. 1935. bv United Feature Syndicate, Inc. Ail right reserved.

URGE DR. BAHR RETAIN POSITION Medical Society Sponsors Retention: McNutt Silent on Removal. Gov. Paul V. McNutt today refused to affirm or deny ‘‘at present” reports that Dr. Max Bahr, superintendent of the Central Hospital for the Insine, and nationally known psychologist, is slated for removal, and is to be succeeded by Dr Clifford L. Williams. Logansport State Hospital superintendent. An editorial in the Indianapolis Medical Society Bulletin today urged retention of Dr. Bahr as superintendent. The bulletin states, “Dr. Bahr not only has made a national reputation for the institution, but an in- ; ternalional one. and inquiries from all over the world have come to this institution relative to its treatment of paresis. This one piece of work alone almost warrants the pensioning of the person who directed this brilliant piece of research. “It is hoped that the medical profesison of Indiana wil Ivoice a sentiment of protest to the changing of management of this, or any other, institution when the services rendered to the sick public have been carried out in such an excellent manner.” The statement was written by the association’s president, Dr. C. H. McCaskey. Dr. Bahr is a member of the society. 5.35,000 More for Dionne Babies fli/ I nih rt Prrxx CALLAJVDER, Ontario, May 2.
