Although FERA officials said the goal of their campaign is in sight, it ‘was indicated officially that the aged, crippled and other unemployables still left on the rolls would be allowed to remain there until after President Roosevelt's social security program is enacted. Last month, Harry L.

More than 150 citizens from various sections of the state met to discuss and to lay plans for coordination of useful, desirable and feasible public works within the state under leader- ship of Marshall M. Dana of Port- land, Ore., director of the northwest regional planning board; J. A. Camp- bell, consultant of the Montana plan- ning board, and Robert Byrne, chair- til of the North Dakota planning Straight from a conference with President Roosevelt came Dana to assure the assemblage the federal gov- ernment would extend all aid and co- operation within its power to further the development and regeneration of North Dakota’s natural and physical resources, Regimentation Not Intent Dana declared it was not the in- tention of the federal government to regiment natural or human resources, that in the re-adjustment of distress- ed citizens to new environments no Person would be coerced; that each and every citizen affected must volun- tarily accept what may be suggested. He asserted the whole program must spring from the people, that the gov- ernment’s interest would be that of “solely aiding and abetting any de- velopments coming from the will of the people.” Paramount at this time in inte- grating a state program with a na- tional program is an inventory of pub- lic works needed within the state pub- lic works that would be useful and as permanent as possible, Dana declared.

(Associated Press Photo) CIVIL SERVICE ACT OF ADMINSTRATION PROPOSED IN HOUSE Bill Provides for Commissioner Removable by Governor; Fixes $2,000 Salary (By the Associated Press) A proposal to create a state civil service commissioner, to be appointed by the governor Wednesday was in- troduced in the house as the first administration measure of Governor Thomas H.

The proposal by the aviation com- mission, headed by Clark Howell, At- lanta Newspaper publisher, were ac- companied by a message from the president outlining plans for con- solidating federal supervision over all forms of transportation. A suggestion by the commission that a temporary board be established to regulate aviation pending completion of a detailed program to include land and water transportation was rejected by the president. What Commission Asks of Congress ‘Washington, Jan. 31. — (®%) — Here's what congress will do if it approves recommendations of the president's policy-forming avia- tion commission: Vote funds for construction of a dirigible to be operated by a pri- vate company, probably across the Atlantic. Appropriate subsidies to pro- posed transoceanic airplane serv- ices. Establish non-partisan commis- sion to fix rates and air mail payments, distribute flat subsidies determine what air lines can oper ate and what service they'll give, Authorize service aircraft con- tracts by negotiation instead of competitive bidding, subject to full reports to congress on large transactions. Give the post office depart. ment power to put mail on eny air route, as it now decides which trains are to carry mail. As the Interstate Commerce Commission fixed rail mail payments, the new commission would determine air mail compensation on a “strictly commercial basis.” Vote a lump sum subsidy, suge gested as $7,000,000, to be dis- tributed among air lines in pro- portion to need. He agreed with its proposal, how- ever, to turn over regulation of air mail contract rates to the interstate commerce commission until congress enacts permanent legislation. Warns Against Excess Profits Mr. Roosevelt stipulated, however. that he expected the interstate com- merce commission to guard “against unreasonable profits by any private carrier.” Calling for unification rather than multiplication of government agen- cies, the president in dismissing the Proposal for a new air commission said: “In the granting of powers and duties by the congress orderly govern- ment calls for the administration of executive functions by those admin- istrative departments or agencies which have functioned satisfactorily in the past and on the other hand calls for the vesting of judicial func- tions in agencies already accustomed to such powers.” He said he would submit detailed recommendations later relating to railroad, highway and waterway trans- portation. He intends to combine air supervision in the proposed unified transportation agency.
