LUDLOW URGES NEW WPA PLAN

Of Dependents Will

Spread Work.

Times Special WASHINGTON, March Spreading WP, a new standar

25.— work-relief through d wage-scale was

Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.). As a member of the Appropriations Committee handling the relief. bill, Rep. Ludlow asserted he will ask that this plan be established:

ment to single persons to equal a wage of $25 per month; to persons with one dependent,

dependents, $50; four dependents, $55; and five dependents or more than five dependents, $60.” . The present average monthly WPA wage in Indiana now is $58.59, Rep. Ludlow explained. Unthe new plan those employables now on direct relief could get WPA Jobs, he predicted.

1,000,000 Seeking -Jobs

“On Feb. 28,' the last date for which - ‘complete statistics ‘are-avail-able, ‘there were in the United States 2,325,896 " persons on WPA work-relief rolls, but there 1,000,000 others equally eligible for em-

Ho get work,” Rep. Lpdiow pointed ou “In y. home" “state. . Indiana, there were 65,063 on the A and

get. on the WPA under the existing provision of the law. Of these 27,000 about, 3500 are in my home city, Indians polis.”

Adopts Jennings Suggestion

Rep. Ludlow also urged making the 18-month provisional lay-off more | flexible, so that "exceptions might be made based on dire necessity. The Indianapolis Congressman introduced a letter from John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA director, in which it was suggested that stranded communities, such as the abandoned coal mine areas in Indiana, need not be required to put up the 25 per cent sponsor's contribution. He also will advocate this change, he said.

parts of the far west reported ideal promenade weather. In some states where temperatures were higher rain pelted the church goers.

Upper New York State and sections of Canada reported below zero temperatures and snow drifts as deep as 30 feet. Thousands of excursionists to Canada spent the week-end in trains that had heen marooned by the deep snow drifts.

Many outdoor sunrise services were canceled because of the cold. Miami, Fla; reported that the mercury rose to the middle 70’s yesterday and New Orleans paraded in straw hats and short sleeved dresses with the mercury at 82 degrees. Arizona had one of the warmest Easters in years and fashions were pa-

There was no definite information on the number of British naval vessels participating in the blockade, but reports here said that light and fast destroyers and two heavier ships were in action in addition to submarines.

Allies’ Are Irritated

The stiffened Allied attitude toward the neutrals appeared to be

partly the result of the set-back suffered by the Allies in Scandinavia when Sweden and Norway permitted the Finnish War to end rather than let Allied troops turn their nations into a battleground and partly he result of popular demand in Britain and France for more active warfare against the Reich. A similar situation appeared to

struggle in southeastern Europe, where the interests of Soviet Russia are more directly involved. ~ Since the war ended in Finland, the Nazis have worked furiously to convince all Europe that Germany was about to get together with the Russians and Italians to control he Balkans and thus close their southeastern flank against Allied maneuvers just as the northern flank. had been closed at least temporarily. The immediate German. pressure was on Rumania, which had been

Nazis Hint Solid Bloe

To bring the Rumanians into line, the Nazis made much of the meeting between Adolf Hitler and Italian Premier Benito Mussolini at Brenner Pass and then permitted rumors ‘to circulate that = Soviet Premier Viacheslav Molotov. was on his way to Berlin, thus fostering the idea that a promised “surprise” was about to be disclosed in the form of

EASTERN RAILWAYS’ BACK T0 2 CENT RATE

NEW YORK, March 25 (U. P.). —A basic rate of two cents a mile

for coach vel on eastern railroads went into effect today with a sliding scale for round trips, cutting the cost in some’ instances to ‘as low as 1% cents. At the same time, major, Bus lines announced fare reductions, some as high as 30 per cent. The railroad reductions were ordered Feb. 15 by the Interstate Commerce Commission after the railroads had tried a 2% cent rate for 18 months. In refusing the railroads @ .nine-month. extension of the higher rate, the - Commission said it had found that the “future revenue results will probably | be more favorable under a two-cent fare in eastern territory.” The region affected is bounded by Lake Michigan, Chicago and Sf. Louis on the west and the Ohio and Potomac rivers on the south. The railroads retained the $90 transcontinental round trip fare inaugurated last summer to increase traffic between the World's Fairs in San Francisco and New York. The one-way railroad fare between New York and Chicago, for example was reduced from $22.69 to

the same two points is $12.35.
