Wagar Atnounce: His Opposition to WPA ' Reduction. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (U. PJ). —Senate | Majority Leader Barkley announced after a conference with President Roosevelt today that Administration forces will make a final attempt on the Senate floor to restore the 150 million dollars: cut from the WPA appropriation. Senator Barkley reiterated that .|Mr. Roosevelt believes that the 725 million dollar bill approved by the House and the Senate Appropriations Committee is- insufficient to meet relief needs. He said Senator McKellar (D. Tenn.) probably will offer an amendment from the floor to restore the appropriation to the 875 million dollars requested by the President. ] ~ “The bill, as it comes from the Senate Appropriations Committee, invites the President to ask for additional funds,” Senator Barkley said. “He has already announced that 725 million dollars will not be sufficient. “I see no-reason to take two bites at this thing.”

Debate to Open. Tomorrow

The bill, carrying restrictions against wholesale reductions in relief rolls during the winter, will be taken up in the Senate tomorrow, Senator Barkley said. During the week-end recess the full Senate Appropriations Committee approved the 725 million dollar figure passed by the House, but amended the bill so that no reduction in relief rolls would be necessary until spring. The relief bill will be the next order of business for the Senate as soon as it concludes d “ate and votes on the nomination of Commerce Secretary Hopkins, possibly today.

Wagner Joins Borah

Senator Wagner (D. N. Y. led the Administration’s fight over the week-end with a statement that the reduced relief bill would “seriously threaten our entire recovery movement.

A stanch Adminisiration supporter, Senator Wagner said that he could not agree that economy should be achieved “by turning men into the streets without hope of a job and without the chance of earning a minimum of Federal help in a self-respecting way.” Senator Borah (R. Ida.) also has opposed the cut on the grounds that economy should be effected otherwise than by cutting Federal expenditures on those “now living like beasts.”

It was after Senator Borah’s statement that the appropriations subcommittee amended the Houseapproved bill so that relief rolls could not be cut more than 5 per cent during February and March,

FEDERAL AIDTO SCHOOLS ASKED IN REVIVED BILL

Seeks End of ‘Glaring Inequalities.”

rising to 202 million in six years, will be introduced in substantially the same form. It is expected to precipitate a new battle between ‘Congressional spenders and budgetbalancers. The measure is sponsored by Senator Elbert Thomas (D. Utah), Senate Education and Labor Committee chairman, and Senator Har rison (D..Miss.), Finance Committee chairman. It is based on last year’s recommendations by the President’s

headed by Prof. Floyd W. Reeves of the University of Chicago. According to Senator Thomas, the

{bill “has the support of practical-

ly all’ of the educational associations.” Views Summarized

The Advisory Committee, in its report to Congress last year, summed up its views as follows: “Glaring inequalities characterize educational opportunities and expenditures for .schools throughout the nation. “The level of educational service that can be maintained under present circumstances in many localities

the preservation of democratic institutions. “Federal aid is the only way in which the difficulties in this widespread and complex situation can be adequately corrected.” The largest part of the proposed outlay would be in grants to the states for general aid to the schools. Smaller sums would be granted for teacher training, school construction, adult education, rural library service, state school administration, and for research and planning.

Larger Sum Asked First

The grants for general aid would be similar to those given by Indiana and other states to poorer counties. An earlier Harrison-Thomas bill, favorably reported in 1937 by the Education and Labor Committee, called for spending considerably more—100 million dollars, the first year, rising to 300 million in five years. This was blocked on the Senate floor in 1937 by Senator Joseph T. Robinson, now dead, on the ground that the Administration was opposed to such expenditures unless financed by new taxes.

The more modest bill was later offered as a substitute, with Committee approval, but the measure never reached a vote. Whether the White House will again oppose passage unless new taxes are provided is a matter of conjecture. The Catholic Church has in the

past resisted Federal subsidies to education, on the ground that its

but one of the Advisory Committee’s recommendations would permit such schools to share in the benefits of Federal assistance.

800,000 Children Out of School

The Advisory Committee, discussing inequalities of educational opportunity, said: “In 1930, 800,000 children in the United States between the ages of 72nd 13 were not going to school at all... .

“In a number of states expenditures per classroom are 12 to 15 times as high in some districts as in" others. .. . “The adults of the Southeast ‘carry a burden of child care and education about 80 per cent greater than that, carried by adults in the far West.” (In South Carolina, for example, there are 523 children aged 5 to 13 for every 1000 adults; in California there are only 225). In the past the Federal Government ordinarily has spent only about 20 million dollars a year in direct subsidies to education. But vast sums have been disbursed in recent years through PWA (for building schools), WPA (adult education), CCC (which has employed as many as 16,700 teachers), the National Youth Administration end other agencies. ee eet a tr STAGE STAR BURNED NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (U.

On the coastal highway to the south, the advancing Rebels threatened the villages of Casteldefelis and Gava, less than ten miles from the doomed capital. Due west, Gen. Jose Solchagas Navarresc stormed Martello, 11 miles from the capital. The Loyalist Cabinet, at a meeting which ended at 1 a. m. today, voted formally to remain in the city. It named a commission to organize the evacuation of civilians “affected by works of fortification and defense”’—that is, those living in zones which would be needed for the final defenses of the city. |

Hitler Alin: At America, British Told

LONDON, Jan. 23 (U. P.)— Oliver Locker-Lampson, Conservative Parliament member, said last night in a speech at a Jewish relief meeting: . “Hitler is out to take London first and New York next, and must be stopped now. Germanys filthy anti-Jew-ish frenzy is the most shameless of stunts. Let us fight propaganda with propaganda and point out that the Hitler hate is no casual cruelty to Jews but a wanton dassault upon humanity, and that Hitler stands for all that Englishmen "and Americans detest.” : Meanwhile the serious situation in North Ireland as a result of bombing outrages believed instigated by Irish Republican Army circles seeking -union of Eire with Ulster may result in postponement of the scheduled visit of the Duke and Duchess of Kent to Belfast on March 6, it was understood.

tories, public services, sanitation services, drug stores, newspapers and specially authorized restaurants were permitted to remain open as the city concentrated on its

defense. Children aided men and women in preparing the final defenses inside the city. The people hoped that they could match the proud record of Madrid, whose fall had been announced more than two years ago. In the raids, one British ship was sunk, one was in danger of sinking and three others hit. One unidentified French ship sank. The British second mate and a Greek messenger boy of the British freighter Thorpebay were killed.
