f 5 A rroposes
to Help 100,000
Farm Families
Many From Dust Bowl Live ia
Squalor in Far West Be
come Labor Drifters.
By FRED BAILEY
WASHINGTON' (UP) The Farm
Scclurity Administration believes
that it has found a satisfactory solu
tion to the problem of caring for
families who have migrated from
drouth areas.
The problem has been one of the
..most acute resulting from drouths
which have impoverished farm fam
ilies in the Middle West since 1930.
More than 100.000 families have been
forced from their homes. Other thou
sands have remained, supported prin
cipally by relief grants.
Most of those who have left the
Plains states have drifted t& the west,
-.onst. many virtually penniless. Tiny
rave become relief cases, responsibil
ity for which the states have been
reluctant to assume. Na:-'y all have
required help of some kind. ,
Become Labor Drifters
Many have become labor migrants,
drifting frcm place to place and seek
ing a few days work wherever they
could find it. For these the FSA has
cet up 15 camping grounds from San
Diego. Cal., to Seattle, Wash.
The problem of permanent re
habilitation has been less simple. The
reclamation of cut-over timberland
has been undertaken and satisfactory
results reported. Several hundred
tamilies have thus been re-established
in their own homes.
In Oregon, Washington and Idaho
approximately 2,500 families forced
from their midwestern homes by crop
failures are being aided by the FSA.
Hundreds of other families will be
come relief cases when tteir meager
savings are exhausted.
Limitations of personnel and loan
funds make it impossible to develop
a program wliib. would take care of
all the families seeking aid. The
majority of drouth families in the
northwest are "in desperate circum
stances," the FSA reported.
"Unless these families are re-established
as tax-paying independent
citizens, they will not only add heav
ily to the public relief rolls but lose
their health, initiative and resource
fulness as their situation becomes
more , hopeless,'. .Walter. .A. ..Duffy,
northwest regional FSA director,
said.
The largest concentrated group as
sisted by FSA included 245 families
who settled on the Vaie-Owyhee re-1
clamation project in Mfilhour coun-,
ty. Ore. These families have been,
granted federal loans for the develop
ment of cut-over land under FSA
supervision.
Rapid strides made by the project
indicate that the same principal can
be applied to about 123,000 acres of
productive cut-over land in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, Duffy said.
That would mean land for about 5,
000 more families.
"Thousands of drouth families,
many former farm owners, are now
living in shacks, tents and aban
ucned buildings under the most de
plorable conditions, existing by means
of all too meager seasonal work and
odd jobs they can obtain in the face
of the growing competition," Duffy
said.
Must Remain on Land
"Re-establishment on the land is
the only real solution of the prob
lem confronting most of these mid
western families, yet developed farm
units are at a premium without re
placing present operators, and few
have the means to rent and operate
a farm.
"Development of productive cut
over lands that can be economically
cleared, and planned settlement of
new reclamation and irrigation proj
ects through the aid of long-time
credit for development and operating
good3, together with careful super
vision and family selection offer the
most feasible ways of establishing
qualified drouth families.
"The only way the present emer
gency, which is national and inter
state, can be met is through special
legislation and special allocation of
funds that will help root these fam
ilies on the land before they join
the flotsam and jetsam of permanent
squalor and transiency," Duffy said.

HEADS UP, STOMACH IN,
CALLED SUCCESS POISE
CLEVELAND, O. (UP) Success

Kansas City
Woman is Eating
Self to Death
Has Appetite That Demands Food
Constantly Eats Enough for
Family of Ten Persons.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 2 (UP)
Mrs. Dorothy Barber, 20, wife of a
WPA worker, was slowly eating her
self to death today.
She ate and ate and ate while
physicians at General hospital, frank
ly puzzled by her case, made num
erous tests in an effort to arrive at
a true diagnosis. They said she
would die unless her strange ab
normal appetite could be ' satisfied
or it be returned to normal.
Mrs. Barber appeared at the hos
pital clinic last night, munching a
candy bar, and told of a year of
misery in which she was always hun
gry but never satisf.ed.
"I want to eat all the time," she
said. "Why, I tan finish a normal
meal and be back in the kitchen in
10 minutes, eating again. My appe
tite becomes especially bad at night.
I have to get up several times to
eat."
Although she personally has con
sumed enough food in a year to feed
a normal family of 10, she has lost
25 pounds tn that time. Normally a
stout woman, she now weighs 104
pounds.
Dr. R .K. Simpson, w ho is in charge
of her case, said it might be three
or four days before a true diagnosis
could be determined. Meanwhile, she
begs for food and is fed, every few
minutes.
From his observations so far, Simp
son said, it was indicated she has a
rare condition of the pancreas which
causes a low blood sugar count and
an abnormal flow of digestive juices.
He said it was the first case of its
kind to come to his attention.
Her appetite at the hospital play
ed no favorites. She had no crav
ings, eating what was placed before
her, ravenously.
ANSWER BUND BALLY
NEW YORK, March 4 (UP) Se
date Carnagie Hall overflowed last
night with a crowd of 3,500 who heard
Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish
speakers give "New York's answer to
the riotous pro-nazi rally of the Ger
man - American bund in Madison
Square Garden last week.
The crowd, for the most part, con
fine its too decorous hand clapping
by some speakers, including Mayor
LaGuardia who called the bund meet
ing an exhibition of "international
cooties" provoking noisy cheering.
Others drew scattered boos by refer
ring to the bund, the nazis, and Adolf
Hitler. Those who could not get into
the hall heard the speakers over an
amplifying Vystem in the streets. By
contrast to the bund rally, the hall
was guarded by only thirty policemen
whereas there had been 1,700 for the
bundsmen. Uniformed bund storm
troopers had usherred and policed
tneir meeting but the only ones in
uniform last night were the regular
ushers and an honor guard of boy
scouts. Behind the speakers' platform
where bund banners had proclaimed
"free America from Jewish domin
ation, "last night banners said "in
tolerance is un-American."

penditures of $9,500,000,000 if Har
rison's proposal for a 10 per cent slash
in appropriations is adopted.
STUDY ATHLETIC INSUEANCE
LINCOLN, March 4 (UP) The
board of control of the Nebraska High
School Activities asociation will study
athletic insurance at its Friday meet

today.
Nebraska high schools are showing
"increased interest" in insurance plans
similar to those in other states, Webb
asserted, estimating that the boarc"
of control might submit a plan tc
association members by the end of
the school year.
Approximately 4,000 boys from 15C
to 250 schools would be necessary to
operate a form of mutual benefit in
surance, Webb said. Athletes would
pay minor foes and receive benefits
sufficient to pay for treatment of in
juries received in sports.

WITHHOLD MANDATE
LINCOLN, March 4 (UP) The
Nebraska supreme court today denied
a motion by former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Walter H. Jurgensen for re
hearing of his conviction on charges
of embezzling. The mandate com
mitting him to the state penitentiary
was withheld pending an appeal to
the United States supreme court.
Jurgensen was found guilty a year
ago by a Lancaster county district
court jury of , embezzling $549 in
building and loan stock from Ches
ter Kaderli, railroad agent at Potter.
He appealed to the state's highest
court which last January 4 affirmed
a conviction and a two to five year
penitentiary sentence.
Richard P. Stout, Jurgensen's at
torney, said that his client planned
an appeal to the U. S. supreme court
unless financial problems arise. The
state court withheld issuance of the
mandate at Stout's request.

EOSTON (UD Boston's unique
Aior bslv-
ins the number of juvenile delin
quency cases in the nation's ninth
largest city.
Although clothed with all the pow
ers of a municipal court, its sessions
arc marked by informality. Sessions
are held in chambers. The judgo
wears no robe and there is no open
ing or closing ritual.
Only the complainant, often a par
ent, the youthful defendant, the pro
bation officer and the judge are pres
ent. If the boy or girl wishes to
talk privately with the judge, all
others are excluded.
The ourt, created by the legisla
ture in 1906, handles all cases of
delinquency involving children 7 to
17 years old in the congested north,
west and south ends, Back Bay and
the business district.
Eight Handle Work
Heading the court is a full-time
justice, John F. Perkins, who re
ceives $5,000 a "year. He is assisted
by two special justices who sit only
in hi3 absence, a clerk, and a chief
pronation officer and three assist
ants. The court's rehabilitation work is
featured by a citizenship training
department established by Judge Fer
kins in 1936, to which all boy de
linquents are sent for eight weeks
at the start of their probation. Only
5 per cent of the defendants are sent
to reformatories.
The department is conducted five
afternoons a week after school hours
in quarters provided by the Young
Men's Christian Union. The staff
includes a psychiatrist, a physician
and two former athletic -coaches. Half
of each two-hour session is devoted
to conditioning exercises and com
petitive games and the remainder to
informal round-table discussions.
Once a boy has completed the de
partment's course, he is sent to some
settlement house or boys club in his
community where he is expected to
participate in group activities.
While on probation, boys and girls
report once weekly to a probation of
ficer at one of three settlement
houses. Once weekly also the pro
bation department receives a report
from the probationer's teacher cov
ering school work and behavior. Once
a month a probation officer visits the
child's home.
Many children appearing before
the juvenile court are 'placed in fos
ter homes.
"Ninety per cent of children in
juvenile courts come from crowded
homes in congested areas, with little
or no wholesome recreation and with
poor social standards," Judge Per
kins said. "Their lives lack such
civilizing influences as inspiration
and good training. Since they can
not get this in other ways, the court
must try to see that they get what
they lack."
BOWERS TO RETURN HOME
WASHINGTON, March 4 (UP)
The state department revealed that
Claude Bowers, American ambassador
to loyalist Spain, has been ordered
home for consultation, presumably
as a first move by this government
toward possible recognition of the
Franco regime.
Bowers, who has maintained head
quarters at St. Jean De Luz on the
French border since shortly after the
L punish war began, sailed for home
on the Queen Mary today.
Officials would moke no comment
on Bowers' return other than con
firming that he was ordered home
for consultation, and would make no
comment whatever on possible recog
nition of the Franco regime. How
ever, the move was generally viewed
as a preliminary step in that direc
tion. NOT AGAINST TRUCKERS
LINCOLN, March 4 (UP) The
state railway commision today ap
proved a resolution by Chairman Will
M. Maupin stating: "A wide-spread
impression that this commission is
opposed to the organization of truck
ers for the purpose of appearing be
fore this commission is without found
ation and based on misapprehension."
The vote was 2 to 0, Commissioner
Duane Swanson passing on the resolu
tion. Maupin explained that some
truckers mistakenly believed that the
commission favored appearance of
individual operators without organ
ization backing.

Detroit Urged
as Tree City
in New Move
Councilman Even Favohs Secession
From Rural Michigan De
troit Cites Inequality.
--
By ROBERT KELLY
LANSING, Mich. (UP) Conllict
between the interests of rural Mich
igan and those of the Detroit metro
oolitan area has led to the organiz
ation of a secession movement under
reputable leadership.
Councilman John A. Kronk of De
troit ha3 suggested the creation of
a 49th state to consist of five coun
ties in the Detroit neighborhood.
This new state would have a popula
tion of nearly 2,300,000. Michigan's
population is 4,S42,325.
Kronk's plan has the backing of
Dr. Lent D. Upson, director of the
Detroit bureau of governmental re
search, who started talking about
secession five years ago. Dr. Upson
asserted the rural versus urban con
flict is not peculiar to Michigan.
Argues for "Free Cities"
It exists also, he said, in New York
state, Ohio, Illinois and other states.
He believes the time will come when
such cities as Detroit, New lork,
Chicago. Cleveland and Cincinnati
will be "free cities."
With more than a third of the
state's population, Wayne county
(Detroit) has only 7 of the 32 mem
bers of the senate and 21 of the 100
members of th ehouse of represen
tatives. Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald, repub
lican, prides himself on being a
farmer-business man and has never
caried Wayne county as a guber
natorial candidate.
Detroit is strongly democratic, al
hough it has a non-partisan city gov
ernment. It has had a perplexing re
lief problem during business depres
sions.
Detroit Cites Inequality
Rural Michigan is mostly repub
lican and is unwilling to give De
troit representation in the legisla
ture on a population basis.
One isstir? on which Detroit and
rural Michigan disagree at each ses
sion of the legislature is the distri
bution of relief funds. Rural legisla
tors, and the. powerful county super
visors' organization which encourages
hem, believe state relief funds should
be distributed mostly on the basis of
population.
Detroit, and some other industrial
cities such at Flint. Sagina- and
Grand Rapids, with widely fluc
tuating relief loads, demand that
need shall be the guide in allocating
welfare money.
Councilman Kronk estimated that
in the fiscal year ended June 30,
1938, the state's income was $216,
000,000, of which $110,000,000 was
returned to counties for welfare,
schools and other functions.
Money Goes Out of City
"Detroit and Wayne county re
ceived about $35,000,000 despite the
fact that it paid far more than one
half of the taxes of the state," he
said.
Kronk said that the proposed new
"state of industry," or whatever it is
called, already has within its boun
daries the Detroit house of correc
tion, large enough to accommodate
all convicts from that area; Wayne
University, which is supported by the
city; a medical school, a law school,
an asylum for the insane and govern
ment supportedh ospital3.
With the money now sent to the
capitalat Lansing, he said, the 49th
state could, by eliminating duplicate
services, support all necessary func
tions of government and have a sur
plus of $70,000,000 anuall
Seofsion would require the con
sent of congress and of the legisla
ture. Dr. Upson concedes that would
be difficult to obtain.

Miss Terkins said that she s-till

to serve the federation's peace com

most advocate of unity with the CIO
and threatened to lead his union out
of the federation unless new peace
overtures were made.
On the eve of the new peace effort,
publications of unions within the AFL
and the CIO took widcly-varylnjr views
of the chances for per.ee and the prol
lems confronting the negotiators.
The Machinists' Monthiy Journal
(AFL) said editoiiallv there would
be no peace unless Lewis "will aband

was not so many years aj'o." It urtrel
him to "be a jrood fellow and return

"The Advance," o.Ticial publication
of Hillman's un:on, deel ired that the
question of unity "comes down to a
question of whether the AFL has
learned from the experience, and
whether it is ready to listen to what
the millions of workers in th'if country
expect it to do." It said the CIO ne
gotiators have "a forthright and hon
orable desire to make the attainment
of unity possible."
The Machinists' publication blamed
the AFL-CIO split cn "the dc.irc of
one man and his close afso:iates to
dominate the labor movement of Am
