istered the voters. one vote was voided. ickard Lend and Spend Plan ONGRESS was asked by Presi- dent Roosevelt to authorize the spending and lending of a grand total of seven billion dollars in a special message in which he set forth his new program for recovery and re- lief. Ignoring the expressions of vari- ous leaders in oppo- sition to such vast expenditures, Mr. Roosevelt said: limited only by our ability to work to- gether. What is needed is the will ““The time has come to bring that will into action with every driving force at our command. And I am determined to do my share.” The President declared that the will to co-operate places ‘“‘on all of us the duty of self-restraint,’”” and that ‘““there can be no dictatorship by an individual, or by a group in this nation save through division fostered by hate. Such division there must never be.” Three groups of measures were proposed. The first involves main- ly additional appropriations for the coming fiscal year, as follows: One billion two hundred President Roosevelt $175,000,000 for administration; ress administration; the Farm Security $75,000,000 for National Youth administration; $50,000,000 for the Civilian Conservation corps, and the $1,500,000,000 already made avail- able to the Reconstruction Corpo- ration for lending to business enter- prises. In a second group of Mr. Roosevelt akked: Three hundred million dollars for immediate expansion of the housing and slum-clearance work of the United States Housing authority; $1,450,000,000 for public works loans and grants; an additional $100,000,- 000 for public roads; an additional 37,000,000 for flood control and re- clamation projects already autho- rized and an additional $25,000,000 for federal buildings. A third group listed by the Chief Executive referred to private cred- it. It involved desterilization of the measures of member bank reserve require- ments which would add another 750,000,000 to the credit resources of the nation’s banks. actions Mr. Roosevelt coupled a sion regulations to expedite small- business financing. Fr Congressmen Vexed WwW HILE committees of the sen- ate and house were still try- ing to reconcile the widely differing versions of the tax bill passed by the two houses, Presi- dent Roosevelt sent to the chairmen a long letter urging retention of the tax on undistributed profits, which had been eliminated by the senate. Many members of con- ? gress thought the Chief Executive Sen Harrison was intimating that he would veto the bill if this feature were omitted. That would leave in effect the pres- ent law carrying a severe tax which has been widely attacked as one of the causes of the prevailing busi- ness depression. The intervention by Mr. Roose- velt at this time and in this manner was considered unprecedented and aroused many expressions of amazement and indignation, espe- cially among the senate conferees. Senator Pat Harrison, their leader and the chairman of the senate finance committee, dis- pleased, said: “The President is entitled to his views. Of course, he every one else the same right to theirs. “The views expressed in his letter obviously expressed by the majority of the senate are well known and need not be repeated again in detail. “The senate conferees will insist in conference on the amendments adopted in the senate. “1 believe that the repealing of overwhelming modifications of the capital gains tax, as adopted by the senate, help business.” At the close of his letter the Pres- ident said: “The repeal of the undistributed the tax on other forms of strike at the root of fundamental rinciples of taxation. “Business will be helped, hurt, by these suggestions." npn New French Government RANCE has a new government succeeded Leon after the fall Blum as premier Blum's Popular Daladier’s is the first nonrevolu- leftist landslide 1936.

The new premier started imme- diately on efforts to end the wave of strikes, which were really based on political motives. First he obtained a settlement of the strikes in the nationalized aviation factories, of- fering a pay increase in exchange for longer hours. He then promul- gated by decree a law making a secret ballot obligatory in every factory where conflicts arise. If a majority of the workers decide for a strike, they must evacuate the factory, which then would be ‘“‘neu- tralized’’ pending arbitration. If, however, the strike is rejected by a majority, the armed forces of the nation will be at the disposal of the employers to keep the plant op erating. —_— Horner Is Winner GOV HENRY HORNER won his second great victory over the Chicago Kelly-Nash machine in the Illinois Democratic primaries. Al- most all his candidates were nom- inated, and the governor appears to be now in complete control of the party in his state. His co-boss is State's Attorney Thomas J. Courtney of Chicago. The triumph of Horner attracted nation-wide attention. It even led to a proposal that he be the Demo- cratic party for President in 1040. This boomlet was launched in con- gress by Representative L.

Ar. nold, Democrat, of Illinois, Jones Ready to Loan ESSE JONES, chairman of the “ RFC, now has $1,500,000,000 to lend to business men, states and cities, and he asked the bankers of the nation to turn over to his cor- poration the loan applications they cannot meet. “The security put up by borrow- ers must be reasonable,” he de- clared, ‘but naturally we expect to make loans which the banks consid- er slow, frozen or unliquid.” Jones said he expected the loans would make capital investments more attractive and would also forestall sacrifice disposals of sur- plus stocks. In his insistence on ‘reasonable’ security, however, he warned that ‘“‘we're not going to lend all the money in the country.” No Peace for Labor ANY lingering hopes that the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization would end their eivil war were dispelled by John L.

How the '""Well-Dressed" Furniture Should Appear | This season—and every season | ~furniture should be kept fresh | and gleaming! The home-maker | owes it to her furniture—and ithe appearance of her home. Before it leaves the shop of the furniture dealer, before it is sold—good fur- niture is kept polished! The dealer | continually gives it a “‘polish serv- | ice’, to maintain its rich appear- | ance—keep the wood “‘alive!” He, | who is an authority, regularly | uses a good oil polish (the best | is non-greasy, because it has a | fine, light-oil base). He knows the importance of this—for selling | furniture is his business—and on his shop floor, every piece of fine wood must be kept at its lustrous best! He knows, too, how vital it is to the finish, the very pores of the wood, to frequently apply a quality oil polish on the various suites and fine pieces! The effect of its frequent use on furniture is two-fold: It prevents drying-out and cracking—and it brings to the furniture a deep, lasting high-tone ~that suffuses the wood, brings out all the natural beauty of the grain. All woodwork and furni- ture will remain “well-dressed,” decorative, sparkling—if cared for periodically with a reputable light-oil polish! diagonal iri No » burlap an MEN LOVE GIRLS WITH PEP If you are peppy and full of fun, men will | vite you to danoss and parties.
