GREEN DEPLORES LATE AID T0 NEEDY Unfortunate That Public Acts Slowly in Crises, Says Labor Head, on Air. ‘The American people, seemingly re-; garding such crises as the current un- employment situation as more or less inevitable, “fail to become interested or m until the cry of human dis- " makes them realize the serious- u- of conditions, William Green, president of the A.merlun l’edenuun of Labor, declared last OI'I!B, who was lpelkinl over the Columbia Broadcasting System from Station WMAL, termed this attitude “unfortunate,” after pointing out that *in every national emergency it be- comes the duty of all classes of people to make such contributions as lie with- in their power toward the needs and demands of the occasion.” He said: “Now, after more than a year of continuous economic distress, the Na- tion 15 aroused. Congress is responding, community and civic groups are in action, and it seems that all the forces of society are co-operating in a con- certed effort to overcome and master the forces which have operated so «disastrously in our economic, social and industrial life.” Service to the Nation. Although millions of men and women have been affected by the current der pression, Green continued, they have, through their trade-unions and other organizations, “rendered service to the Nation, to industry and to the com- munity in the development of relief measures.” At the request of President Hoover, organized labor “has made its contri- bution to the establishment and main- tenance of industrial peace in this “Because labor is conscious of the seriousness of the situation,” he con- tinued, “it has sought, through its rep- resentatives, to be represented on all unemployment_boards and committees. The membership of organized labor, through its unions, has been instru- mental in the development of public works programs and has offered very valuable suggestions and recommenda- s regarding plans and policies which should be pursued.” ‘These men and women, Green pointed out, “have sacrificed part of Lhelr employment in order to help others,” have endeavored by using their trade - union facilities to obtain em- ployment for others, and in various other ways have rendered “service of inestimable vaiue to the community.” As for the tyade-unions, they have “used their funds to relieve distress, to supply food, clothing and the neces- sitles of life to unfortunate unemployed ,” Green declared. Many union members, he said, have contributed to funds created to relieve unemployment. Service Freely Given. “This service,” Green went on, “has been freely given in an effort to meet the need of this acute situation. While engaged in this great humane under- taking, lJabor has been thinking about constructive means and methods which should be applied in order to prevent the destructive and devastating effects which come from these periodical un- employment experiences. Labor is firmly copvinced that the problem of ployment must be dealt with in a co! ctive, - scientific and practical way It firmly believes that industry can be regulated so as to furnish rea- sonably steady employment to all working men and women. Advoeating & llve—dny week, with re- duced daily working hours, Green as- serted that Government employes, as well as those in private busi- ness and industry, should be placed on the reduced time basis. This, he poinied, would permit the employment of more persons, and “all the slack of present-day employment could be taken up_quickly and expeditiously.” Green concluded his address with the statement that, now that the serious- ness of the unemployment crisis has become generally known, “we will ulti- mately master it and overcome it.” ————— ST. LOUIS CLUB URGES THAT BEER BE ALLOWED President of Organization Declares Action Is Not an Attack on Prohibition. By the Associated Press. ST LOUIS, January 10.—The Indus- #rial Club of St. Louis has forwarded 1o | President Hoover a resolution urging him to advocate an amendment to the Volstead act to legalize manufacture and sle of ‘“non-intoxicating” beer, Samuel W. Fordyce, president of the elub, announced last night. He said more than 80 per cent of the club's membership favored the resolution. Such an amendment, Fordyce said, placing upon this beverage its “just share of taxation,” would create em- ployment and materially “alleviate the sufferin thousands who are unem- Industrial Club’s an attack on prohibition.

WOULD POPULARIZE SCIENGE IN PARKS Head of Carnegie Institute Tells of Plans Here for Next Spring. Dr. John C. Merriam, head of the Carnegle Institute here, sald yesterday an effort would be made to make natu- ral science popular in Washington parks this Spring. The institute official explained at & meeting at the Cosmos Club of the Bpfl:im Committee of Natural Beauty is vising Director Grant of Puhuc Bulldings and Public Parks, that a group of scientific authorities will as- semble here in the Spring to recom- mend ways of developing various loca- tions in the park that might prove of popular interest. Features Pointed Out., As examples of scientific features in the parks, the meeting was advised that there is an interesting geological forma- tion in Meridian Hill Plrk and that the old Indian gquarries in Piney. Branch should prove attractive. Where they will show to the best advantage, the committee voted that flowers should be developed in the various park areas, consistent with the appropriations that Con; makes | avallable. The committee likewise went on record as favoring the development of all the reservations, as the pieces of park land created when streets and circles are fashioned, are known, before there is any re-development of the older park spaces. The committee sald that by no means should the old triangular pleces of park land be permitted to deteriorate. Others Present. Present at the meeting, with Dr. Merriam and Col. Grant, were Clifford Lanham, District superintendent of trees and parking; Capt. Chuter ‘Wells, U. 8. N, retired; David Lumsden of the Deplrtmen'. o uflwlture Maj. D. H.

TAE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, HEARINGS 10 BEGIN (N ANNAPOLIS BILL 5= Britten Measure Provides Ensign Commissions for Graduating Class. Hearings on the bill to commission as ensigns all members of the forthcoming graduation class at the Naval Academy will begin sometime th!: week, under plans of the House Committee on Naval Affairs. The bill, introduced in December by Representative Britten of Illinols, also would permit retirement of any naval officer commissioned in the line of the Navy from sources other than the Naval Academy. Un]uu the bill is passed, it is more than 200 midshipmen due to gradnuate next Spring will be dismissed without commissions, although Navy officials declare there is a serious short- act which limits officer personnel to one-fourth of the enlisted strength of the Navy. ‘Waste of $2,500,000. It is bolnud out in Navy circles that the wholesale dismissal of so many mid- en will mean a waste of more than $2,500,000, ted as the cost of educating t.hem during their four years at_Annaj Comi lonln| of three new cruisers will create an added demand for of- ficers, it is stated. Other ships already iaid down or appropriated for wiil Sruuy increase deficiency in of- cer strength. Provision on Officers. ‘The provision relating to voluntary retirement of officers of the line who never attended the Naval Academy would affect a group of more than 600 officers who received commissions dur- ing the World War. Most of these of- ficers were appointed to a temporary status, but after the war were given per- manent commissions. Many of them formerly were warrant officers, and, under Navy regulations, if they 1 in a promotion test, they automatically re- vert to their original rank—a drastic penalty for those who have advanced. The bill would permit any of these of- ficers to retire on his own application in his present rank, with retirement pay not to exceed 75 per cent of his active duty salary.
