EMPLOYMENT. PAY ROLLS GAIN, PRESIDENT SAYS Asks Support for Charities Until Recovery Is Completed. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Presenting a cheerful picture of the New Deal's efforts to lessen the nation's relief load. President Roosevelt today reported that about 5.000,000 persons have been re-employed since he entered the White House March 4, 1933. The nation, he said, is emerging "happily and rapidly” from the "years of deep depression,” and "even those industries which were long backward in showing signs of recovery are putting their best foot forward.” He declared he has greater confidence that private industry is beginning to take up the unemployment slack, and urged the public to continue contributions to private charities so that Federal, state and local governments might be freed from relief burdens. Makes Appeal From White House Mr. Roosevelt's optimistic report was containe din a brief talk last night in behalf of the 1935 mobilization for human needs. It was delivered from the White House just 12 hours after he returned to the capital from a three-weeks sea-going vacation. ‘ The results of the September employment survey have just come to me from the Secretary of Labor,” the President said. "During September 350,000 men and women were returned to employment in private industries of the nation, and the money in weekly pay envelopes of these Industries was $12,000,000 greater than their weekly pay envelopes in the previous month.” He said this had brought the total re-employment in private industry since his inauguration to nearly 5,000,000 p-sons, with a weekly payrol. incresac of $104,000,000. Employment in September, he said, was at the November, 1930, level, and pay rolls at the May, 1931 figure. Critics Answered by Prediction Critics of the Administration’s $4,000,000,000 campaign to find jobs for 3,500,000 and end direct relief were answered by a prediction that the "great majority of these people” will be at work within a month.” The program, the President declared, is creating "bona fide” jobs. Mr. Roosevelt said the "full force and effect” on his vast social security program “cannot, of course, become operative until several years have elapsed, nor will this law in any sense replace the proper and legitimate fields now covered by private contributions to private charities.” Mr. Roosevelt appealed for support of charitable institutions on a “good neighbor” basis during the mobilization campaign, but added that “we want to emphasize that w'ord ‘work.’ ” “Neither private eharity nor government relief wants to continue to help people who can work but who won’t work,” he said. “There is only one legitimate excuse for unwillingness to work and that is bad health or advanced age.” The President said one of the principal reasons for greater contributions to charity was “your hop;* and mine that the necessities of government relief furnished by funds received by taxation should decrease as rapidly as human needs will allow.” Child Swallows Pin Darlecn Bicon, 2, of 1627 Milburnst. swallowed a pin last night. City Hospital physicians removed it.

MAP NATIONAL TOWNSEND PLAN Founder Says 80 Per Cent of Voters Will Back Old-Age Pension, By Times Special CHICAGO, Oct. 25.—Certain that their old-age pension plan is the “sole and only hope of a confused and distracted nation,” more than 6000 delegates to the Townsend convention today settled down to the debate which is to determine their national policy. Officials predicted that the fireworks of the convention, if any are to develop, may be expected tonight. Dr. F. E. Townsend, climaxing a hectic session yesterdayr left no doubt in the minds of his followers of his plans for the strenuous campaign which has been mapped out for the next six months. He was seconded strongly by R. E. Clements, co-founder of the Townsend movement and national secretary of the organization. “In 23 short months we have carried our resolve to have economic security into every city and village and farm throughout the land. We have become an avalanche of political power that no derision, no ridicule, no conspiracy of silence can stem,” he said. "We court no assistance from any organized group of politicians, we ask no favors from organized capital. We are a movement of the people, for the people and by the people.” The lean doctor, unknown outside his native state until little more than a year ago, predicted that at the end of the next six months 80 per cent of the voting strength of the nation would be behind the Townsend plan. With the plan once in effect, he claimed, it will prove so successful that not only will the aged be cared for, but the excess funds will more than pay off the national debt.

Orders “Bank Nights" Ended Meanwhile, advised by Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer that “bank nights” are lotteries and hence il-1 legal, Chief Morrissey issued orders that all theaters are to discontinue them at once. The police order resulted in curtailment of the events last night, it was reported. Low, according to detectives, talked with Fletcher in a beer tavern Saturday about ways and means of obtaining the $550 prize accumulation at the Rivoli. They took samples of the ticket stubs to a printer, but he refused to duplicate them, according to Low. The janitor said he turned the samples over to Fletcher and the latter appeared at the theater Sunday with 5000 tickets corresponding to his registered No. 6344. Put 5000 Tickets in Barrel Low, according to his statement to detectives, admitted Fletcher to the theater and they dumped the 5000 tickets into the drawing barrel, removing the barrel head with a screwdriver. He and Fletcher were to split the prize, detectives said the janitor admitted. The drawing Wednesday night was conducted properly, it was said, the child who drew the “winning number” plucking No. 6344 because of the preponderance of that number on top. Police credited the printer, who turned down Low and Fletcher, with exposing the drawing. Withholding his name, police said he went to the drawing and when Fletcher was about to claim the $550, rushed to the stage and scattered the bogus tickets about. Fletcher fled and outdistanced a pursuing usher. Low is slated on vagrancy charges on SIOOO bond. Detectives said his disclosures will mean release of Raymond Vick, 23, of 933 Spruce-st, one of the audience who w'as arrested Wednesday night, and Urban Anderson, theater manager. They too had been held for vagrancy. minefTna ivied on board Terre Haute Man to Represent Coal Workers of State. Times Special WASHINGTON, Ind., Oct. 25.
