National Debt Hits New High Nears 31 % Billion; President Asks 1% Billion More for Work Relief. WASHINGTON, D. C,—The national debt shot up to another all-time record high ievel of $31,447.106,057 on the same day that President Roosevelt aslced congress for $1,500,000,000 for next year’s work relief program, while paving the way for mere demands on the federal treasury unless business succeeds in solving a good share of the unemployment problem. This rise of $945,443,700 In tbfc debt was the result of first appearance of figures from the huge March borrowing In the treasury statement. Average Family Debt SI,OOO, Translated Into more readily understandable figures, the debt now represent* approximately I $248 for every t man. woman and child In the United States, or nearly SI,OOO for every family. The increase was the first sizable one of a series expected since Henry Morgenthau, secretary of the treasury predicted early this year that the debt would reach $35,500,000,000 by the end of the next fiscal year. The billion and a half of new relief requirements has not yet been ap proved, and does not yet api»ear In the debt, of course Nearly $11.000,000.01Ml have been added to the debt by the Roosevelt administration, which has spent more money than any previous administration, by far. Expenditures for the eurrertt fiscal year passed the $5,000,000,000 mark with more than three months remaining until the end of the period. This spending was greater by nearly $89,000,000 than the expenditures for the same period for the year before Spend $13349 a Minute. During the first nine months of the fiscal year, the administration dished out $13,549 for every minute of every day, including Sundays and holidays, spending roughly $2 for every $1 taken in. During the three years of his office. President Roosevelt has had . appropriated nearly a billion dollar* more than the United States govern - ment spent In Its first 124 years of existence. Total spending of the New Deal has reached more than 20 billion dollars, more than half of this having gone for ' “extraordinary" expenditures, relief and “pump priming" to woo Industrial recovery. According to the American Federation of Labor's latest estimate there were In January 12.650.0UU worker* still unemployed. Somebody Slipped; PWA Post Office* Switched Madera. Calif.—PWA funds were allocated to erect poet offices In Madera and S*n Mateo. The Madera building, still under construction, will cost s7o.* 000 when finished; the San Mateo buildIng. complete*! two months ag<> coat only $50,000. Madera has a population of only 4.005; San Mateo boasts 13.444. Frank J. Reilly was given the con atructlbn contract to build both i»«st offices.

Adams, chairman [ of the State Highway Commission, 1 reported today. Continued good weather will permit rapid progress on the scores of construction projects scheduled for completion this I year. 1 Extent of the highway construction program can be men ured from j week to week by the establishment of detours at points where bridges and grade separations are being | built, sections of highways are being paved or other improvement work done. When construction work necessitates the rerouting of traffic, the best substitute route is selected and carefully marked for the guidtnce of motorists. | The extensive cons ruction and improvement program for the state highway system, now under contract, will require a number of detours for varying periods duing the late spring and ealy summer months.
