tion of Labor's annual con-
vention opened in Tampa it had be-
fore it the report of the executive
council dealing with, among many
other topics, the social security act.
The report heartily approved of a
federal social security program and
urged adoption of state laws that
would give labor the greatest pos-
sible benefit from the federal stat-
ute, If the federal law is unconsti-
tutional, the council said, *‘it is clear
that its provisions must be changed
or that sanction must be afforded
to them through an amendment to
the constitution.”
The council questioned the wis-
dom of obtaining the necessary
funds through a payroll tax “which
to a great extent is to be paid di-
rectly or indirectly by the workers
involved” and suggested that con-
gress repeal this feature of the law
a8 soon as it convenes.
In discussing unemployment since
NRA’s end, the council said:
“The shorter work week and the
six hour day furnish the real solu-
tion to the insistent problem of un-
employment. It is the responsibility
that private industry must accept in
order to give the necessary balance
to economic expansion.”
The council reported a member-
ship of 3,422,398 on August 31—the
greatest since 1921.

President Starts on
His Ocean Cruise
RESIDENT ROOSEVELT went
by train to Charleston, S. C,, to
board the cruiser Indianapolis for
a jaunt in southern waters. He said
he was not certain where the ship
would take him, but in Washington
it was assumed that he would pro-
ceed at once for Buenos Aires to
attend the opening of the Pan-Amer-
ican peace conference on Decem-
ber 1. In that case he will make
stops at Port of Spain, Rio de Jan-
eiro and Montevideo, and will not
return before December 15. If his
plans are changed, he will merely
spend two or three weeks fishing
in the Caribbean.
At his last press conference be-
fore departing the President said
he had about completed drafting
the 1837 budget. He said also that
he had outlined to his subordinates
the things he wants done during his
absence, these including:
Drafting of a farm tenancy law
to end evils attending the system of
share-cropping and farm tenancy,
now chiefly prevalent in the South.
Clarifying amendments to the so-
cial security act.

but announcement was delayed un-
til after the election. The wedding
will be in June after Mr. Roose-
velt's graduation from Harvard,
and will be a quiet affair. Miss du

Clark Howell, Eminent
Editor, Is Dead
LARK HOWELL, editor and
president of the Atlanta Consti-
tution and one of the best known
journalists in the United States,
died at his home in Atlanta at the
age of seventy-three after a long
illness. He was one of the original
directors of the Associated Press,
He was elected to the position at the
time of its incorporation in 1600
and held it at the time of his death.
Always active in state and na-
tional politics, Mr. Howell was a
pioneer in the formation of ‘“Roose-
velt for President” clubs. He was
offered his choice of several dip-
lomatic posts in 1933 but declined,
saying he felt he could better serve
the President and the nation as
publisher of the Constitution. He
was at various times a member of
temporary national commissions,
but in the main devoted his time
to his journalistic labors. A few
years ago the Constitution won the
Pulitzer prize for ‘‘meritorious serv-
ice” in exposing political conditions
in Atlanta.
Secretary Roper Plans
Census of Jobless
NT OW that the election is over,
4 N Secretary of Commerce Roper
is laying plans for the complete
census of the unemployed in the
United States which
has so long been
called for. He said
he would ask con-
gress to appropriate
between 13 and 15
million dollars for
this count and that
it would require the
services of about
25,000 persons who
would be given spe-
cial training for
several months,
*“The census would
not only take up an enumeration of
those classified as unemployed,”
said Roper, "but we want to find out
which trades or industries the un-
employed would fall into. We would
also like to help the states in clas-
sifying the unemployed from the un-
employable.
“There are many economic ques-
tions involved. Some families have
enough income to support them, but
one or more members may be out of
work. We want to obtain information
on this phase."

Government Buys 9 Million
Acres of Poor Farm Land
EXFORD G. TUGWELL,
settlement administrator, an-
nounced that the government had
acquired more than nine million
acres of land considered unsuitable
for crop production, and he added
that it should buy ten times as
much. The Resettlement in
istration is committed to pay $39,
$16,603 for the land, under option
in 210 different projects in 44 states
at an average price of $440 an
acre.
These acres, Tugwell said, “could
not support human subsistence’
when used as they have been, and
so were being restored to grazing,
forestry, recreation, and other use
for which they were naturally fitted.
Tugwell reported
still residing on the tracts “will
need aid in resettling.’” More than
2,000 families already have been
moved, it was disclosed, and many
others found new homes without aid,

Hitler Scraps Another
Treaty Clause
APOLF HITLER has torn up an-
other clause of the Versailles
treaty—the one that international-
ized the German rivers and canals.
He has announced that the reich has
resumed sovereignty over all such
waters. The treaty clause was de-
signed partly to give Czecho-
slovakia free access to the sea, and
that nation now has agreed with
Belgium to protest formally against
Germany's action. British Foreign
Minister Eden rather mildly criti
cized Hitler's course,
Belgium Asks Specific
Pledge From League
W ITH embarrassing directness,
Belgium has demanded that

she demanded clarification of the

article applying to sanctions against

war should be emphasized by the
league, Belgium said, and mea.
sures against countries which en.
danger peace should be improved
upon.
In a recent speech to parliament,
intended to clarify a previous
by King Leopold, Foreign
Minister Spaak said his country
would assure both Germany and
France that Belgium never would
become the jumping off place for an
attack on the territory of either
power.

Don’t Try to “Save” on Home
Remedies —Ask Your Doctor
There is one point, on which prac-
tically all doctors agree. That is:
Don’t give pour child unknown remedies
without asking pour doctor first.
All mothers know this. But some-
times the instinct to save a few
pennies by buying “something just
as good” overcomes caution.
When it comes to the widely used
children’s remedy — “milk of mag-
nesia”’ —— many doctors for over half
a century have said “PHILLIPS.”
For Phillips" Milk of Magnesia is the
standard of the world. Safe for chil-
dren.
Keep this in mind, and say “PHIL-
LIPS’ MILK OF MAGNESIA”
when you buy. Comes now, also in
tablet form. Get the form you prefer.
But see that what you get is labeled
“Genuine Phillips' Milk of Mag-
nesia.” 25¢ for a big box of the tablets
