JOB AID UNABLE T0 CUT RELIEF
Twenty-One- States to Pay Compensation Benefits This Month.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4 (U. P.).—The American Public Welfare Association warned today that although 21 states and the District of Columbia start unemployment compensation benefits this month, little resulting decrease can be expected in the total of relief cases. Workers recently laid off will be first to benefit from unemployment ~ compensation reserves that total over 437 million" dollars for the 22 governments, the Association said. It cited three factors which it said “indicate need for supplementary relief for these people.” They are: “1. The ‘time lag’ between layoff and payment, which includes a variable waiting period of two to four weeks before the, unemployed worker’'s application for benefits becomes active, plus the lapse of a week or two until the first benefit check arrives. “2. The fact that the benefit may be so low (in some states it is only $5 a week; the maximum is $15) that it cannot provide for a family caught without cash reserves. “3. The unsettled business conditions that may make it impossible to restore jobs to the newly unemployed before their benefit period of 12 to 20 weeks expires, thus necessitating a turnover to direct relief.” Warned of Moving Up The Association also warned states
“contemplating moving up operation |.
0” unemployment compensation systems not scheduled to function until 1939, with the thought of alleviating relief.” “Such procedure would destroy the soundness of the insurance system by draining it before it was ready, and. it could not be trusted to hold up either financially or administratively for any length of time,” the Association said. States in which unemployment compensation benefits begin are: Alabama, , California, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, ‘New York, North Caroline, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee; Texas . Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

Hatr ed Laid
To FDR's Aids by Rukeyser
Merryle Stanley Rukeyser, financial writer. and. lecturer, speaking before the Rotary Club today, criticized Secreiary of Interior Ickes and Assistant Attorney General Jackson for “inflaming the public mind with class hatreds on heresay evidence by irresponsible muckrakers.”
the Claypool Hotel that “raising of apolitical smokescreen by Administration spokesmen will be futile. . Americans will accept no substitute for jobs, goods and service.” Mr. Rukeyser assailed the recent attacks by Government spokesmen upon business. “They speak glibly about alleged instances of monopoly, but fail to paint the whole picture,” he said. “If the whole truth were told, Washington leaders would proudly reveal there is less monopoly in the United States than in the principal competitive industrial nations of the world. “In Europe, cartels or combinations of competitors, are encouraged to allocate markets and fix prices. Cartel countries have failed to make industrial strides comparable to the American achievement.” Mr. Rukeyser said it was time for Washington leaders to focus attention on the causes of the new slump in business and employment. “While business is sick from pneumonia, it is foolish to dwell on irrelevant chronic maladies, such as flat feet,” he said. The finacial writer charged payroll taxes on workers of small incomes would tend to lower living standards. ~
CHANGES IN WAGNER
McNary Interprets Message As Plea for Revision.
WASHINGTON, Jan 4 (U.P).— Senate Minority Leader McNary (R. Ore.) said today he believed President Roosevelt's message to Con-

Senator Copeland (D. Y.) announced he would on a series of amendments to the Wagner act “within a few days.” Chairman Thomas (D. Utah) of the Senate Labor Committee, said he would oppose any attempt to amend the statute now. Senator McNary based his interpretation of the President’s address upon the following excerpt: “The ownership of vast properties or the organization of thousands of workers creates a heavy obligation of public service. The power should not be sought or sanctioned unless fhe responsibility is Sgeepied: as we

~ BOY DROWNED
Skate Marks Indicate Youth Fell Through lce at Hoosier Lake.
HAMILTON, Jan. 4(U P). —- Indiana State Police, Angola firemen and residents: of this lake resort town continued their search for the body of 14-year-old Neil Griffith, Ft. Wayne, who was be-
per part of Hamilton Lake last night. Members of the family said they were convinced that his body is in the lake because his cap was found along the shore and skate marks were found bordering a large broken place in the ice. The skate -marks indicated a struggle to keep from sliding into the water. Young Griffith had been skating with his brother, Donald, 13, and about sundown they separated. Lat-
er, Donald returned to his uncle's |
home where the three children of the Grifith family were visiting, and upon not finding his brother, set out on a search. The father, Lauren Griffith, is manager of the Ft. Wayne division of the Furnas Ice Cream Co.

Bob Cooper — tobacco auctioneer — tells why he, and other tobacco experts, prefer Luckies...
“I've been auctioneering for 20 years,” says Mr. Cooper, “in Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee...and I've seen the tobacco Lucky Strike buys at auction after auction. It’s the best in smoking quality.’
“Luckies suit my throat, too, as well as my taste. Even after crying out bids 7 hours a day, Luckies never bother my throat in the least.” (Reason: the exclusive “Toasting” process expels certain irritants found in @// tobacco.) “In every section of the Tobacco Belt whereI auctioneer,” Mr.Cooperadds,“I've noticed tobacco men smoking Luckies.” Are you benefiting by the experience - of the tobacco experts?. .. Sworn records show that among independent tobacco experts, Luckies have twice, yes— twice, : as many exclusive smokers as have all other cigarettes combined. ,
