Unemployment Biggest of the National Problems Senator Wagner of New York Urge Every Effort for Care of Those Who Are Unemployed. Unemployment is still the biggest and most dangerous of the nation's problems, according to U. S. Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, who is fearful that all the available re lief funds will be insufficient to meet the needs of the approaching witner. Writing today in the American Maga zine, Senator Wagner says: "Unemployment hasn't been lick ed yet. Six months ago there were 13 million unemployed. Today there are still 10 million. And even if this vast number Bhould be reduced an other 3 million by mid-winter, which is as much as can reasonably be ex pected, there will still be 7 million without work. "This means that there will be including dependents, 25 million peo ple, or a fifth of our population, in desperate need of assistance. 'We shall need this winter all of the millions appropriated by the fed eral government for direct relief, and perhaps further appropriation We shall need at least an equivalent sum from the states, as well as splen did work of local communities. W shall need, too, continued sacrifice of those who, under pressure themselves. have somehow managed to take care of unemployed relatives. We shall still need the voluntary contribu tions of everyone who Is able tc make them. "It is true that Industry and agrl culture are reviving. Men are going back to work. Despair has been re placed by energy and hope. And this new cheerfulness is splendid. Short sited citizens are beginning to say that soon we'll be through with the bothersome problem of unemploy ment. "Such an attitude is not merely smug and superficial. It is danger ous. It is . one of the geratest obr stacles to permanent recovery and the building of a safer, happier America "The fight against poverty and un employment has Just begun. "When, it may be asked, shall we return to the 'normalcy of 1929?' "Never, I hope. The prosperity of the later '20s was a sham prosperity, The chatter of stock tickers drowned ou the cries of those who were vie tims of an unstable Industrial sys tem. Do you realize that there were more than 3 millions unemployed at the height of the boom? Do you want to go back to a scheme of things which, even at its best, permitted 3.000.000 Americans with their de pendents more than 10,000,000 per sons to live in destitution and des pair? "No. We must not return to that. "Our nation has been like a man already ill and feverish, who is run over by an automobile. The ambul ance surgeon gives emergency treat ment. When the man reaches the hos pital, however, his entire condition is carefully studied. He is given treatment looking toward his per manent recovery, not only from the injuries in the accident, but from the fever as well. "The nation has already been giv en, courageously and effectively, Its emergency treatment. Many of the measures are of permanent benefit. The time has come to consider the patient's, ultimate health. "For the next few critical years, it will be enough if we get men back to work. But I believe that the phil osophy and Intent of the New Deal go farther than this, and I should not consider that we are making the most of our chances unless we do more than restore the uneven and delusive prosperity of the 1920's, with Its mil lions of unemployed and Its poverty even among those who worked."

The football team of College View Friday afternoon took the tilt with the Platters at Athletic park by the score of 12 to 0, the visitors showing much power and playing a good game throughout. The local team played a much bet ter game than against Ashland, but had a much better group to contend with than they have had at any time this season, the College View team being a large and t hard fighting organization. The first period was scoreless, but in the second, the visitors crossed the blue and white line for a touchdown. while the locals for a few minutes were threatening. The locals made a strong bid for a score with a smash ing attack by Ronne who carried the ball through the visitors line for gains at every play, with a nice pass from McCleary to Hiner that brought the ball Into scoring distance of the College View marker, but the visitors were able to hold and recovered the ball. ! The visitors first score came as the result of the forward lateral pass play received by Jake Dietrich who raced forty yards to place the ball within a few feet of the Plattsmouth goal. Eugene Miller carried the ball over in a line smash but the try for the extra point was no good and left tbe score at six for the visitors. The third period was a matter of exchange of punts in which Ronne of the locals had the best of tbe booting duel. In the last period, Red Henderson of College View intercepted a Platts mouth pass, returning it thirty yards before he was dragged down, and left the ball in a position from which the visitors started a twenty-five yard drive that netted them the coveted score. The locals held their oppon ents within a few feet of the goal for two downs, but in the smashing attack Henderson carried the ball over, but failed at the try for the extra point. In the local playing Ronne occu pied a large part of the picture as his fighting kept the locals in the going for the greater part of the game and his tackles as well as ball carrying featured the game. Howard Hirz, end, also was able to account for many fine tackles throughout the game.
