The new organization will endeavor to :
1. Find employment in private In-
dustry for unemployed youth.
2. Train and retrain for industrial,
technical and professional employment
opportunities.
3. Provide for a continuing attend-
ance at high school and college.
4. Provide works.relief projects de-
elgned to meet the needs of youth.
The average payment for youths on
relief work will be $15 a month ; those
going to high school would be given $G
a month; college, $15 a month.
The problem of what to do with the
youth who finishes school, supposedly
equipped to make his real start In
life, and finds what few Jobs there
are are given to older and married men
and women, as well as the youth who
is unable to finish school because of
poor circumstances, has been one of
the most discouraging aspects of the
entire depression. Tile NYA will at-
tempt to remedy It by divisions set
np to work with private industry and
schools in each state, co-ordinated by
national headquarters In Washington.
LEGISLATIVE administration lead-
ers, for a while in a frenzy of anxi-
ety to hitch the President's tax-the-
rich program to the resolution extend-
Ing the so-called "nuisance" excise
taxes, thereby speeding it through the
Washington legislative factory in four
days, suddenly disclaimed any intention
of such procedure, and let the $500,000,-
I)00 tax extension ride along unappend-
ed. Congress will consider the new tax-
ation program during early July.
This program Is expected to produce
1pine $340,000,000 In new revenue, prin-
cipally from Inheritance and gift taxes,
Increased taxes on the highest income
brackets, and corporation taxes grad-
sated from 10 per cent to 17½ per cent.
The program has been held up as a
lweetmeat to placate the sugar palate
~f Loulslana's Kingfish. Actually, a
wealth of $340,000,000 shared among
120,000,000 Americans would amount to
~hout $2.83 a head--all of which would
be applied to a public debt of $29,-
D00,000,000 and a budget of $S,500,-
~00,000, anyway.
The net taxable worth of the 133
t~tatea which paid taxes based on a
valuation of $1,000,000 each in 1933 was
~284,000,000. If the government had
taxed these estates 100 per cent, selz-
Lug them entirely, they would have
been worth only $2.37 a head to the
American population. If the govern.
ment confiscated all income of more
than $I,000.000 In 1933. It would have
taken an army of trucks loaded with
~nall change to distribute it, for each
American would get only 45 cents. And
the general opinion of administration
leaders In the senate was that the taxes
sbtalned from the rich might possibly
eliminate the necessity of the "nul-
,ance" taxes after another year.
THE federal government began a
new fiscal year with intentions of
spending more money than in any pre-
vious year of peace. Mr. Roosevelt an-
nounced that he would spend $S,520,-
000,000, Of which $4,582,000.000 will go
for "recovery and relief." He expects
the treasury to collect $3,991,000,000.
N0, it doesn t add up. The'~' deficit for
the new fiscal year will be $4,52S,000,-
000, It is estimated.
The fiscal year Just passed came to
an end with the public debt at s new
peace-time peak of $.o8,665,000,000, still
some shy of the $31,000,000,000 the
President estimated a year ago. To
2nance the new budget, he had count-
ed In part upon the $500,000,000 ex-
tension of "nuisance" taxes Just
passed by congress, but not upon the
tax.the-rich program which the New
Dealers hope to Jockey through some
tame in August. Estimates have it
that this will net another $340,000,000.
The expenditure for the past year is
only $7,258,000,000 instead of $8,571.-
900,000 forecast at the start of the
year. The deficit was $3A72,347,000
instead of the proposed $4,869,000.000.
If the expenditures outlined in the
:1936 budget reach the estimated total,
the public debt on July 1 next year
would stand at $B4,~9,000,000.
During the next year the President
expects to spend $4,880,000,000 for re-
lief and for the employment of 3,500,.
0t)0 Idle workers. A general upswing
in business would improve the revenue
expected by the treasury. The i'resi-
dent counted on $3,711,000,000 coming
in during the 1935 fiscal year. Re-
ceipts proved to be $3,785,000,000.

pRESIDENT ROOSEVELT asked
congress to prevent holders of fed-
eral gold bonds from suing the gov-
ernment for damages they may have
suffered because the New Deal went
back on the gold payment pledge.
The Chief Executive asked that an
appropriation be made for Secretary of
:he Treasury Morgenthau to pay off
$8,000,000,000 in cash to bond holders
who demanded immediate cash pay-
ment. Bond holders who plan to con-
vert their bonds into cash and buy for-
eign gold will be given 100 paper dol.
lars for a $100 gold bond. They con-
tend that because it takes $1.69 to buy
what was $1 worth of gold before the
New Deal, they should be pald $169 in
cash.
The President's stand was that the
privilege of suing was an "act of
grace" bestowed by the government.
He asked that the privilege be with-
drawn from the holders of gold bonds
to prevent the use of the courts "in aid
of efforts to sabotage the operations
of the government or In aid of private
speculation."
GEN. HUGH S. JOHNSON, once
ambitious to direct the $3,000,000,-
000 public works program, was named
to direct a comparatively small part
of the President's now
$4,000,000,000 works-
relief schedule. As di-
rector of works-relief
in New York city, he
will co-ordinate the
program in that area.
With the famed fight-
ing Jaw determinedly
set, be revealed the
four conditions under
which he accepted the
new job:
Gen. Jol~nson He will get no pay,
only $7.800 for a year's expenses. (He
got $6,000 a year for this purpose dur-
ing most of his time as keeper of the
Blue Eagle.) His Job will end October
1, unless he and the administration
agree that it shall continue. He will
devote a minimum of four days a
week to his official duties. And he
will consult with Mayor Fiorello H.
La Guardia as far as possible, but will
be responsible to Harry L. Hopkins.
NEW YORK'S Harlem and its kin-

L IKE most Utoplas, the new one in
Alaska's Matanuska valley has
been reported a nest of discontent;
the dlsillusionment apparently was
manifest even quicker than usual in
this case. Minnesota. Michigan and
Wisconsin farm families who made up
a large share of the recent expedition
to begin life anew in the North Pa-
cific territory drafted a list of griev.
ances for the FERA trouble shooter,
Eugene Cart.
Many of them said the project was
misrepresented, that the land is poor
and that housing is not what they
were led to believe it would be. Neith-
er are medical service, school facilities,
seeds disbursed for planting, the cli-
mate and prices for groceries meas-
uring up to advance word-plctures.
There is considerable Jealousy existent
over the distribution of farm land. And
to top it all off, the Utopians want
government pay for their work.
T HE week's peak In crime was
reached when Detroit police found
Howard Carter Dickinson, prominent
New York attorney and nephew of
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes,
lying dead in a ditch beside a lonely
Rouge park road with a bullet through
his head and another through his chest.
Dickinson, a law associate of
Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., had been
in Detroit on business of the $40,000,.
000 estate of the late William H.
Yawkey, Apparently, he bad driven
to Rouge park while on a drinking
party after business hours. His com-
panions on the ride, who were William
Schweitzer, Detroit underworld char-
acter, and three burlesque-show girls,
all of whom he had picked tip at his
hotel In the motor city, fled the scene
and were traced to Fort Wayne, Ind.,
where they were arrested.
After several days of grilling by po-
li~e, the~ four confessed they had plot-
ted the murder to rob Dickinson.
Sweltzer admitted firing the shot~
Their loot was $134.

tlon policies the rea-

not "choose to run," he thought the
party needed some sort of direction;
now that his candidacy is shelved, it
is expected that his political utterances
will be clothed in considerably less au-
thority.
The informers, however, assured the
senators that Mr. Hoover would get

the campaign for him, and that he
thinks, with unification growing, the
Republican prospects are looking
brighter day by day.
CAPT. ANTHONY EDEN, England's
Journeyman trouble shooter, elec-
trified the British Isles by announcing~
that Great Britain had offered to give
Halle Selassie, emperor of Abysslnia,
a generous strip of British Somaliland
to replace territory acquired by Italy,
if the Italian government would prom-
ise not to wage war against the domain
of Africa's "Conquering Lion of
~udah."
Nothing doing, said Premier Musso-
lini, who has turned a deaf ear to
all Britain's proposals of an Italo-Ethl-
0plan compromise. He was reported
ss intending to go right ahead with
his plan of a four-years' war to effect
the complete pacification of the Afri-
can empire. He insists that there
must be more room In Africa for over-
populated ltaly to expand.
Mussolini has threatened to "remem-
ber" the nations which have offered to
furnish Abyssinia with arms, and they
have withdrawn or modified their of-
fers. The African emperor pleaded:
"If we are In the right and if civi-
lized nations are unable to prevent
this war, at least do not deny u~ the
means of defending ourselves."
Captain Eden met with no more suc
cess in his efforts to explain to the
Fascist dictator England's bilateral
arms agreement with Germany. Mus-
solini sided with France In objecting
to the pact.
SECRETARY of the Navy Swanson

1935-36 construction program within 20
hours after receiving the required
funds from congress. Included in the
program are: Two new cruisers of
10,000 tons each, equipped with six-
inch guns and at least four airplanes
apiece; one aircraft carrier, three
heavy destroyers, twelve light destroy-
ers and six submarines,
CITIZENS everywhere were urged
by Attorney General Cummings to

Most of the victims believe that they
have lost their money legitimately, he
said, and are afraid of complaining to
federal officers because they are in
debt after they have been "cleaned."
SOVIET Russia, through its ambas-
sador in Tokyo, warned the Jap-
anese government that Japanese Man-
chukuan boats must keep out o7
Soviet waters in the Far East, or the
consequences will fall on the shoul-
ders of the Japanese Manchukuan au-
thorities, The ambassador listed a
series of alleged violations of Soviet
territory, adding that "these viola-
tions may bring serious consequences
in the relations between the U. S. S. R.
and Japan in the cause of peace in the
Far East."
He spoke of attacks on the Soviet
guard which were maneuvered to ap.
pear as if they had taken place on
Manchukuan territory. It was alleged
that four Soviet guards had been at-
tacked and killed, that Japanese guns
had played on Soviet settlements from
the Manchukuan side of the Amur.
"The Sovlet government expects the
Japanese government to adopt urgent
energetic measures to prevent further
provocative action by local Japanese
Manchukuan mtlltary authorities," said
the ambassador.

is Just what I read in the papers, or
what I see or hear here at home. Just
tonight take for in-
