HIGHER TAXES SEEN IF CONGRESS CUTS DOWN RELIEF FUND Unanimous in Demand for . Bigger Appropriation we Dakota's forecasting that state and its local government, expressed fear Monday the added fi- nancial burden would be translated into higher local taxes if congress, failed to appropriate more than $790,- 000,000 for relief. The house defeated efforts to change the amount provided in the relief bill which it rushed through to} the senate, but an effort to win a larger sum will be made in the senate with Senators Gerald Nye and Lynn Frazier, with a group of several others, demanding a large sum. There was a possibility that should Congress refuse to boost the appro- priation, Harry L, Hopkins, Works Progress administrator, might con- tinue on WPA rolls all those who needed relief, then ask for additions) funds in the spring. Cites Drouth Effects Senator Nye said that with the ef- fects of the drouth still felt in North Dakota, the possibility of the state's taxpayers being able to shoulder an added relief burden was “extremely remote.” “Today we have a situation where! the need for relief in North Dakota has never been greater than in this hour,” Nye said, “and the federal government pxoposing to reduce re- Nef allocations lower than they have been in the past.” Tentative employment schedules for North Dakota WPA call for progres- sive reductions monthly starting from @ total of 19,800 in February, and sealing the quota down to 19,400 in March, 18,000 in April, 16,200 in May and 14,400 in June. Lemke Disappointed Rep. William Lemke, who sought a|' large appropriation in the house, saw the proposal rejected. “Is the government going to con- tinue to hand out sandwiches and a bare subsistence, as the president calls it, and leave the men and women in the same condition they were; in three or four years ago, or are we going to give them enough to make them self-supporting and the oppor- tunity to make good?” he asked. “When the farmers were taken off the WPA projects,” he said, “we were assured they would be taken care of through the resettlement adminis- tration. The information given by. farmers is altogether different than. that given to us by the various de- partments of the government and alphabetical administrations, There} is a nigger somewhere in the wood- pile.” Burdick Sees Need Rep. Usher L. Burdick said he, too, ‘was convinced more money than was approved by the house would be needed for relief. . “We need all the money possible to carry on this program,” sald Burdick, “and to carry on the program on a. national scale, because the problem will always. be with us.” “Who is going to feed these people? Who is going to clothe them? Who going to house them? Those reac- tionafies who think business as now organized can furnish employment for the millions out of work, and who, want the federal government to with- draw from the relief field do not ‘understand the temper of the Ameri- can people.” Grand Forks Ski Rider Sets Fargo Hill Mark ’ Fargo, N. D., Feb, 1—(7)—Al Lawonn of Grand Forks set a new hill record with a jump of 172 feet on the Fargo-Moorhead ski club slide in its 15th annual tournament here Sunday to feature the two-day events.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1937 NEW AIR VIEW OF STATE TRAINING SCHOOL MINOT SCHOOL BOY ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Eldo Lee Halligan, 17, in Ser- ‘ious Condition; Mrs. Schram Recovering Minot, N. D., Felt 1—()—Eldo Lee Halligan, 17, a .junior in. the Minot High school, was shot through the body when a .22 calibre rifle acci- dentally discharged while Halligan and two friends were making ready to start on a rabbit-hunting outing 8 He was taken immediately to & Minot hospital, where he underwent @ blood transfusion.

Gonzalo Queipo de Liano’s southern drive against Malaga thrust the spearhead of his Fascist army within sight of the sea Monday, vir- tually isolating the important Med- iterranean port from Socialist terrl- tory. The Insurgent front line described a wide arc from Marabella, 35 miles west of Malaga, to the small village of Otivar, 40 miles eastward, where from the mountain heights General De Liano’s advance guard were in sight of the Mediterranean. Only a scant few miles were open as @ narrow connecting corridor be- tween the beleagured city and the rest of government-held Spain. The imperial household of China once had a rule that a dinner must include every. dish ever requested by the emperor. So many foods were tried by Emperor Chen Lung during his lifetime that ultimately 120 tables were needed to hold various dishes served him daily.

A. Jones, general chairman, as he began Mon- day the job of checking up the re- ceipts and expenses. More than 1,000 “couple” tickets were taken at the door along with ap- proximately 500 “single” tickets. On this basis the attendance was some- what above 2,500. The floor of the big hall was crowded with dancers and, in addition, a large number watched from the balconies, These also had paid the full price of admission. Governor and Mrs. William Langer led the grand march which opened the affair, This was directed by 8. 8. Boise, assisted by national guard of- ficers, Boise also acted as master of ceremonies throughout the evening. Offer/Short Entertainment A short entertainment program was Presented prior to the radio reception of @ broadcast by President Roosevelt to persons participating in approxi- mately 5,000 birthday balls through- out the countyy. The Bismarck Men's chorus sang ter Song and Ken- tucky Babe, and this was followed by ‘a dance by Audrey Waldschmidt. The chorus then closed the program with “Dear Land of Home.” Music was provided by Harry Tur- ner’s orchestra, Proceeds of the dance will be di- vided between the local committee and the national organization which is leading the fight against infantile Paralysis. Seventy per cent of the money will be used in the treatment of crippled children here while 30 per cent will go to the national organiza- tion to finance research work. Hear Roosevelt Address In his address President Roosevelt said he hoped the latter activity would, in the near future, enable so- ciety to score a definite victory over infantile paralysis by finding either ® means of prevention or a definite cure, Praising the response of the public to the Red Cross appeal for help in relieving the suffering of persons routed from their homes by the flood, he pledged that these people would be quickly and adequately cared for. Under a plan tentatively adopted by the ‘local committee in charge of the ball, the proceeds of the dance, lert, 35, and Mrs, Della Sweeney, who . {OVER 2,500 ATTEND {Press Delivers Box to 8 RELEASE MILLIONS Refugees It Pictured} 10 LOAN FARMERS Louisville, Ky., Feb. 1—(?)—Mr. R. E. Mobley of Albert Lea, Minn., will be glad to know that the Sweeney family got the box full of clothes, shoes and bedding he sent them. He will be glad to know, too, that the Sweeneys—from the father, Rob- is expecting another baby soon, down to Ruby, 9, Ruth, and Roy, 12, crip- pled by infantile paralysis — cried when they opened the box, Mr. Moblty clipped from a newspa- per the Associated Press picture of | the Sweeney family being rescued from the Ohio river flood waters. Then he packed a box with 60 pounds of warm things, posted the picture on outside, and scribbled below it: “Please somebody see that this fam- ily gets the box.” He tacked another card board Square beside the picture, and that ‘To the Sweeney family with in- valid son, In flood Zone of Louisville, Ken- i tucky, Care of police station.” It took most of the Associated Press flood staff, Mr. Mobley, working all day Sunday, to carry out your in- struction, but it was well worth the trouble. As soon as the package ar- rived at police headquarters, Col. Edward Callahan, the chief, called the Associated Press office, and said: “Here you are, You deliver it.” SOUTH DAKOTA MAN TESTS PENSION ACT ° Jobless Hot Springs Painter Given $200 to Spend as He Sees Fit Hot Springs, 8. D., Feb. 1—(P)— ‘With 200 “Townsend dollars” to spend during February, George W. Tyron, 71-year-old unemployed painter, Mon- day got down to the business of test- ing the workability of the Townsend old-age revolving pension plan. His first purchases with the money, he indicated, would be four doors for his unfinished house, and. clothing, coal’ and wood. These matters at- tended to, he said, he is “just going to go ahead and spend the money as I go along.” He thought the $200 would last about two weeks, The test, to last six months, was undertaken by the local Townsend club, which issued one- dollar notes backed by money in the club treasury. Merchants have agreed to accept the notes and pay interest on them, and the Hot Spring Cham- ber of Commerce is also backing the experiment. together with money obtained from previous dances, will be turned over to the public welfare board to be matched by federal funds. The whole amount then will be used in treating crippled: children in local hospitals, Reports from Ws said in- come from the balls to be received by national committees probably would exceed $50,000 as compared with $22,- 000 last year.
