Borah stirred the Senate vesterday @s it has not been moved in years with ~an excitingly vivid demand for aid to th> people, now. Fess struck back, Tphrase for phrase, expounding again “%h~ oft-repeatsd Hoover principle that i=jobless aid is a local problem, that »Federal help is a dole. % - Borah waved all this aside, uncaring, " holding fast to the point that there is @ crisis requiring unprecedented effort "to control. His voice thundered as he pronounced “A government which will not pro- tect those who protect it, is flying a flag which is a dirty rag, contaminat- ing the air in which it flies.” For more than two hours the schol- arly Fess and the powerful Borah dueled on the Republican side of the chamber, flailing their desks and pounding out questions and answers in Taised voices An intent membership filled the floor and listened to the debate. Several times the applause of the gallery drowned out attempts of the presiding officer to quell it. Once no attempt was made to check the demonstration. Charging that Borah was ‘“making the dole the foot ball of politics,” Fess warned that once established there would be no end to it “We are simply undertaking to con- trol a crisis,” said the Idahcan. “Thou- sands are unable to take care of them- selves. There is not a semblance of & dole here. If this is a dole, then Illinois, Pennsylvania and other States #re paying a dole. “Terrible Suffering.” “I am convinced there is widespread and terrible suffering in this country. Thousands and millions of homes have not had a day free from care in 18 months. Disease has visited homes and is taking away children “I sometimes doubt if the great war ftself entailed greater misery, more agony of heart and mind than this crisis. True, the armies left their dead and dying. but you can paint a picture of desolation and ruin and blasted hopes behind this army of unem- ploved.” Senator Fess opened the debate with the first attack upon the direct relief bill voiced by the Republican opposi- ! tion. He said he was opposed to the direct relief bill as a matter of princi- ple and to the $750.000,000 Democratic substitute because he was not con- vinced of its necessity. “I am opposed to the Federal Gov- ernment entering on this relief pro- gram because when it does there will be no end,” Pess said. “It will be pro- gressive. It is not the length of the first step that is dangerous. It is the direction.” “No Limit to Demands.” Fess said the only difference between him and sponsors of the Democratic substitute for loans to State was whether there would be actual starva- tion unless the Government took & hand “I don't belicve that point has been reached,” he added. “Once we start appropriating for the unemployed the flood gates will be opened. There is no {limit to the demands of men out of { work. They will demand that the Gov- ernment take care of them and say ‘the Government owes me a living"." Borah said the moral effect on a citi- gen was no different whether he got aid from the Federal or State government. The Ohioan contended the distinction was “as wide as the poles,” that “there was a world of difference” between a erson receiving help from his neigh- gnrs and from a Federal bureau in ‘Washington. The Idahoan characterized as & *libel upon American citizenship” an intimation by Fess that an American _eitizen “couldn't stand to be fed unless it undermined his character.” “It is not in the general welfare to destroy every fibre of our American Government by this proposition of' giving money away.” Fess said. Asserting that “you cant find any authority for the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation except in the Soviet dictatorship in Russia," Borah said: “I'm complaining that men who voted to taks money out of the Treas- to revive business are now un- lling to take money to save human The issue is mate-ialism against humanity.” Senator Robinson, the Democratic Jeader, entered the debate at one point to say the substitute bill offered by his party for loans to States “in- corporated the same principle as that embraced in the Reconstruction Finance Corporation act.” LEGION ACTS AHEAD OF JOB DRIVE DATE 805 Posts Already Have Placed 9,404 Men and Women in Wage- Earning Positions.

NEW YORK, February 11.—Although the “war on depression” of four na- tional organizations does not begin until February 15, headquarters of the cam- paign to find work for 1,000,000 men reported yesterday that 305 American Legion posts already had placed 9,404 men and women in wage-earning posi- tions. A report from Harrisburg, Pa. told of the placement of 500 workers in positions which will last through the year. Y The Appleton (Wis) post reported that with the aid of 500 citizens, 1,800 “man-to-a-block” hours a week of work were obtained for 110 men and women, in addition to obtaining an appropria- tion of $78,000 by the city for moderni- sation work and the hiring of 3,6004 NEW PULSE BEATS IN FORD PLANT;: LOW-PRICED “EIGHT" IS OFFERED BY JAMES SWEINHART. Special Dispatch to The Star. DETROIT, February 11 (N A.N.‘Aly— “What's Henry Ford going to do? The automobile world has been asking that since the Spring of 1930, when the industrisl paralysis of the world de- pression began to be felt seriously. | Here's the answer: 1. As Mr. Ford's major offering for the Season now opening he is building a new model with a new eight-cylinder V-shaped motor. 2. He will continue building four- cylinder cars, an improved model A. 3. Both V-8 and .model A 4s will have roomier bodies of wholly new de- sign, longer wheelbase, low r-hul chassis and h.ea\'lr;dlrrme‘smln have yet appeared in Ford riode! 4.

Production will start some time this month, with the first public show- ing early in March, The question no longer is what Ford is “going to do”"—he's dolng it now, on & mighty and rapidly increasing scale. A new pulse beats through the vast Ford organization—it's everywhere e dent. in the laboratories, the works and the shops. | Henry Ford has again become the direct-driving, supervising. creative force behind the engineering undertak- ings of the Ford Motor Co. He, personally, is making the supreme effort of his career “to produce,” as he expressed it today, “what these new times require”—the ‘most advanced form of transportation, at the lowest cost ever known, for the greatest number of buyers ever encompassed by the plans of any one motor manufacturer. The Birthday of Edison. And it may be that the date of Mr. Ford's big announcement—February 11 —has sentimental significance. For that is the birthday anniversary of Themas A. Edison, whom Mr. Ford so admired and loved. This sudden, tense atmosphere of big things afoot—I asked Mr. Ford about it. He had come into a laboratory of- fice to sit for a moment while some- thing was got ready for his eve or hand in the workshops. He was smiling, alertly active, mentally and physically looking “fit as a fiddle.” He disposed of my question with a wave of his hand. “Oh! That's nothing,” he sald. “I've just got back my oid determination. That's all.” “To do what?" I asked. “To get the price of an automobile down to where the public can buy. The public will always come half way to meet & man who does his part to meet the public's demands. Mr. Ford moved his chair around. tilted it against the wall and, resting one foot on the edge of the desk, went on. “You know,"” he said, “the public has suffered a lot. Everything we do mow must take into account the people’s pocketbock. We developed a corking good ‘four’ and we're all ready to let it go, but we found it was not the new effort the public is expecting. That's why we're bringing out the ‘eight’ now. The Public’s Pocketbook. “You see, the public has its part in these matters. It instinctively knows when the time is ripe for something new. And even after the industry has produced its best design and developed its best manufacturing method, that amounts to only about 90 per cent of the completed job. The public con- tributes the remaining 10 per cent in its actual use of the car in road ex- perience. Now the public has suffered a lot and has been very patient. It deserves a lot from the manufacturer. From now on the public's pocketbook sits in at every conference. “An here's something I wish you'd make pretty strong. It's for the raw material supply men. If American manufacturers do their utmost to start the wheels of industry, and the ma- terial men begin to raise prices, the whole effort may be throttled. In times like these every one has to take some risk, make some sacrifice, and éven be willing for a time to do business with- out profit to start the normal processes of industry and business again.” ‘That was Mr. Ford's way of dispos- ing of a titanic situation. The first engines Mr. Ford ever made had only two cylinders. Then he made a “four.” The foundation of his world-wide in- dustry the success of the old model T o The evolution of his “V-type eight” now. is not to Mr. Ford the epochal event it may seem to others. To him it's just another form of his old ideal. It occurred to me he might regret abandoning the “four” model. Isaid so. Two “Fours” Put Together. “But we're not abandoning the “four.” Mr. Ford answered, “either in principle or production. We're going right on making ‘fours’ for all who want them—and the ‘eight,” why that's Jjust two ‘fours’ put together.” The idea of building an “eight” has been in Mr. Ford’s mind a long time, but it must have been a great event throughout the company plants the day Mr. Ford, personally and alone, decided to bring out an “eight.” 1 remember seeing in the Summer of 1921 an “8" working on the testing block in the experimental room of the old tractor plant. On the floor nearby, idle, was & “12." On a pedesta! not far away wes an x-shaped “24." All were multiples of the basic And when in 1927 model T was aban- doned and the model A brought out, it, too, was a “four.” But'it did not appear until the resulis of renewed and extensive experimentation and testing with an had been Isid aside. During late 1930 and .early in 1931 experimentation with the “8" again went forward. The work was done in the Edison laboratory, which Edison used for 40 years, at Fort Myers, Fla. and which is now in Greenfleld, For old American village. - Twenty * were built. Mr. Edison rode in one a year ago. Thought was given to bringing the “8” model out then. But the depression was om, business was bad, “the time wasn't right." That didn't dispose of the question, “an ‘eight’ or a ‘four,”” however. Late last Summer it was again pressing for an answer. It was decided to get out an improved model A. The engineering laboratories worked long. and feverishly to develop improvements. Mr. Ford began to appear daily in the shops, the drafting rooms, the piants, watching the development of each part, every detail of design and. production, and thinking deeply. “Perfect Four” Found. In late Autumn a day came when, as a Ford lieutenant said, “we believed we had a perfect ‘four. ‘The improved model A was put into production. Sup- pliers all over country received orders.

Henry Ford came over. Father and son were together, alone, an hour or 0. Then things oe- gan to happen. Orders went out to the plants to stop production—to stop production when 35,000 of the new improved model A's were already manufactured and on their way West for early January showing, with 50,000 more “in float"—that is, ceming thrbufh the plant in finished parts and bodies ready for essembly. The whole productive organization was suddenly thrown on its haunches. The carriers slowed down. The trains of raw materials dumped, went out empty, and came no more. The assem- bly line again was empty. Everybody was put to work on something else. The Birth of the Eight, What had happened? “The Ford “eight” had been born. Henry Ford had decided to put it into production as his chief offering for the coming year. That same morning he ordered the lald-away plans to be brought out and prepared for large-scale production . From that moment Mr. Ford in per- son became the dynamo of the whole works. He was everywhere, ordering, directing, changing. A task immeas- urable by words confronted him. The whole works had to be changed. The | “elght” required finished parts Mr. Ford did not make. These had to be de- tion elsewhere. A vast amount of ma- chinery had to be taken out. New ma- chinery had to be designed, built else- where, brought in and installed. A rumor got around that Mr. Ford had discontinued the “fours.” A flood of letters urged that they be continued. That w: —it showed something of the market; a lot of buyers would con- tinue to want “fours.” A Disconcerting Demand. ‘The volume was much greater than Mr. Ford had planned. For the time, so far as it affected building of the “eight,” this unexpected demand was disconcerting. Mr. Ford then had ap- proximately 50,000 men working. He put half back making the improved | Model A, and with the other half he flung himself into changing the plant to get out the “V-eight.” Meantime plans for the “eight” were coming through. Mr. Ford was again about the plant as he was twenty-five years ago. “My father is never happler than when solving some big mechanical problem,” said Edsel Ford. “When the new model A was brought out he left many things to others, but I have never seen “him give such attention to detail as he is now. He has worked hours at a time trying to eliminate a single part. He figures that the fewer parts in a car the less the risk of trouble. “In the model A this was carried so far that repair bills were cut in two. Our business in parts for the old model T used to run $10,000.000 to $12.- 000,000 a month. On'the model A this fell off to $3,000,000 to $4,000.000. The model A didn't require as much | service.” Asked exactly when the new “eight” would be ready to show, Edsel Ford said: “We can't tell yet. We'll first have to make cars to supply dealers.” “How certin are you that you have a market for your new cars?’ Henry Ford was asked. “We're not certain,” he replied. “But we're going to risk it. Some one has to risk something to get things started. And faith is catching; if we have con- | fidence, others will too. The chief thing is to meet the public’'s demand for some- thipg new and better at a price the average man can pay. “We're doing everything in our power to give the public that kind of a car. It will be the first really low-priced automobile in America, taking quality and E"u together.” “Though you're not certain of your market you are certain you've got the car?” “That's it exactly.” No one would say anything definite regarding the retail price of the cars.

Chairman Cannon of the subcommit- tee which is conducting hearings on the District appropriation bill today re- iterated the statement that the bill when reported to the House will contain a provision for a Federal contribution of $6,500,000 instead of $9,500,000 as in the current measure. Representative Cannon _emphasized- that the subcommittee, which is an agency of the House, feels itself bound the $6,500,000 Federal contribution, a reduction of $3,000,000, as a result of the House vote on the series of bills re- ported by the special Mapes Committee on Fiscal Relations. Because the subcommittee is still further restricted this year than ever before in drafting the District appro- priation bill, Chairman Cannon de- sires that citizens' associations, other civic organizations and various indi- viduals should understand the position of the subcommittee relative to a flood of requests which have been made for hearings on various street, school, play- ground and other projects on which these applicants desire to be heard. “The sibcommittee has no intention of being autocratic or high-handed in refusing to grant hearings on any meritorious propositions,” sald Chair- man Cannon. “We will grant a hear- ing to any who insist upon being heard, but we are hopeful that when those who have applied for hearing understand how we are restricted and circumscribed more than ever before, making it impossible for us to grant any ’ppmpriluunn outside of the bud- get Yecommendations, they will not possible for us to grant thelr requests for appropriations.

Writers Ordered Out of State as “Trouble Makers.” PINEVILLE, Ky., February 11 (#)— The busiest day for Bell County officers since coal field troubles began saw the arrest of 36 persons and the release of 12 of them, including 11 writers, upon their consent to being escorted to the State border. Alan Taub, New York attorney, and 11 writers, who brought food and sup- plies to Bell County miners, crossed the State line early today after an exciting hour during which they were arrested in their hotel rooms, charged with dis- orderly conduct, arralgned in Police Court, had the charges dismissed, packed their bags and motored out of Pineville accompanied by officers. Behind them the writers left two of their group in jail. They were Harold Hickerson ang Doris Parks, who were arrested on épen charges when they addressed a mass meeting of striking miners, despite warnings of County Attorney Walter Smith. Others arrested during the day and night were 19 men chaiged with dis- orderly conduct after a rald on the headquarters of the Natlonal Miners Union, and three youtns arrested in a raid on a house where communistic literature was found. It was upon the advice of Mayor J. M. Brooks that the writers left the county.

MELLON TO CHANGE TITLE SATURDAY Will Become Ambassador and Mills Will Take Oath as Treasury Chief. By the Associated Press, Andrew W. Mellon will change his title Saturday from Secretary of the Treasury to Ambassador to Great Britain. At a ceremony in his office at the Treasury Mellon will resign his present Post and take his oath as Ambassador. At the same time Ogden L. Mills will take the oath as Secretary of the Treasury and Arthur A. Ballantine will advance from Assistant Secretary to Undersecretary, succeeding Mills. The ceremony will take place soon after_notice of confirmation of Mills and Ballantine reach the White House from the Senate. Both were confirmed yesterday. but under Senate rules the notification is held up three days to provide an oppor- tunity for reconsideration. Mellon will take with him to London his special assistant, David E. Finley, who will become honorary counselor. A regular counselor is already at the Lon- don embassy. Finley’s appointment re- vives a position which had been in ex- istence previously. It was considered likely that Alexan- der W. Gregg of Palestine, Tex. also a special assistant to Mellon, would be ap- pointed an Assistant Secretary to suc- ceed Ballantine. ‘While the move has not been finally decided upon it was pointed out that Gregg was familiar with the duties of the position. Mr. Finley for several years has been a valued aide to Mellon in the post of special assistant. He has handled a large number of private and official matters for the Secretary and during the negotiations on the moratorium he was called from a vacation eisewhere 'in Europe to join Secretary Mellon. Finley is a native of South Caro- line, but has spent much of his life in Washington. His father, David Edward Finley, was a member of Congress. He studied law at Georgetown University. The objection of Senator Norris of Nebraska kept the Senate from waiving the three-day wait in favor of Mills, Reconsideration is certain not to hap- pen. as the only opposition to him wi recorded by Senator Long of Louisiana, and he was absent. - ‘When the Senate approved the Mills nomination yesterday it also confirmed that of Ballantine.

Readjustment of tariff relations be- tween the United States and the Philip- pines was suggested as a means for im- provement of mutual economic condi- tions. Clashes With Roxas. Secretary Hurley and Speaker Roxas of the Philippine House of Representa- | tives engeged in a verbel tilt on the subject of freedom of speech in the | Philippines. Hurley charged that no Pilipino lead- er dared say anything against inde- pendence. Roxas said Hurley's charge was not true—that the Filipinos merely refused to follow any leader not for independ- ence. Hurley asked Roxas if it were not & fact that money appropriated by the Philippine Legislation was used to spi independence propaganda read through the islands. “Not one cent,” Roxas replied.

It was poinfed out that if the Fed- | eral Reserve banks were able to advance funds on the intrinsic value of securi- ties held in the portfolios of banks, this would aid banks finding their cash | exhausted through unnecessary runs, to raise additional money and prevent their having to suspend. It was said that while the kind of paper which would be eligible for re- discount under the proposed temporary law had not been determined, i would operate much as personal loans and would be based upon the actual value of the bank’s security. Many banks have been forced to sus- -gend because eligible paper and cash al d been depleted. while at the same time they held a large amount of val- uable securities in their portfolios which could not be rediscounted It was said that the Federal Reserve | Board would be able to determine in each case the value of the secusity and would rate any loan upon exactly what thase securities were worth Among securities which it was sug- gested might be made eligible were mortgages on real estat>, which have intrinsic value but frequently cannot be realized upon quickly. Ogden L. Mills, new Secretary of the Treasury, described the non-partisan move to broaden the base of redis- count eligibility as “a movement to ar- rest the surge of credit deflation.” He contended the legislation would not be “inflation,” but merely a revers- ing of what he called a “tremendous ! credit deflation.” The new Treasury head is optimistic over the results to be expected. He feels that in easing the strain on mem- ber banks of the Federal Reserve System they. in turn, can deal more leniently with neighboring banks, and that loan making and normal bank functioning will be restored. Has Ruge Gold Deposit. WHat the Glass-Steagall measure will do is to make all the assets mcquircd by the Reserve banks under present law available, for one year only, as col- lateral for Federal Reserve notes, up to 60 per cent of the latter. At present, for lack of other eligibie collateral, the Reserve System has in the Treasury almost double the 40 per cent gold re- quired to be deposited against its notes. This change will release, it is calculated. nearly a billion in iree gold, available for all credit purposes. It is not proposed at this lime to issue new currency against this gold, :2:;}"9’; '{‘t‘ is to be u}fid rather for e r which the v biil will make disconntable. new The measure will supplement the efforts of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, as both are designed for relieving the frozen condition of the Nation’s credit system, but the admin- istration is hopeful the present plan will get even faster' results than are in sight for the corporation’s loans. Following extended conferences at the White House yesterday the banking experts in Congress set to work on the measure, pushing their labors far into the night, suspending only to resume at the first opportunity this morning. A statement explaining the plan was is- sued last evening over the signatures of Glass, Steagall and Senator Walcott, Republican, of Connecticut, chairman of the Senate Banking Subcommittee, and Representative Strong of Kansas, rank- ing administration Republican on the House Banking Committee. Right of way was promised the meas- ure from its introduction, in a co-cper- ative drive unsurpassed in Congress since the emergency conditions of the World War ended.

Volunteer workers today renewed their task of raising the Community Chest deficit of $191,348.16 due to ad- ditional reports showing unprecedented demands on charitable organizations. Revised figures announced by James A. Councilor, chairman of the Audit Unit, placed the grand total of pledges at $2,409,651.84, including $565 received yesterda Concern was caused by a report on the increased need for aid encountered by Walter S. Ufford, general secretary of the Associated Charities. He said his organization cared for 2,248 familics in January, as compared with 1,576 in January, 1931, or an increase of 63 per cent. The Associated Charities last month aided 591 families never before Tegistered, as against 162 new families in the same period the year before. Expenditures Increase. Mr. Ufford said his organization spent $30,106.49 for relief in January, as com- pared with $17,069.19 in the same month last year, or an increase of 84 per cent. He said the situation had shown no signs of improvement. expenditures in the first 10 days of February reaching $4,895, as compared with $2,746 in the first 10 cays of January. He explained that since January was a record-breaking month and demands generally reach their peak in March, re- lief needs probably will scon be double those of last year, with a possibility of even a greater increase. A conference of all family welfare organizations prob- ]lbly will be called to consider the prob- e report of the Assoclated Char- id Elwood Street, Chest director, more clearly than any other one thing the need for raising the en- tire budget asked by the Chest. There is no theory, no guesswork contained in this report by Mr. Ufford. It tells in plain, stark figures the story of how the unemployment situation is affecting Washington and of the increasing needs that must bz met. Additional Contributions. X these figures could be dis- | played in letters of fire before the eves of every Washingtonian who has not given to the Chest. I feel that the re- sult should be a landslide of dollars toward Chest headquarters.” New or additional gifts included: $5, Miss Teresa E.

The impending menace | of war is causing universal alarm and arousing universal suspicion. ‘This {alarm and suspicion, together with the burden of taxation imposed upon the peonle for the maintenance of huge armed forces, is nourishing and in- tensifying the present economic crisis, which i felt in all its weight, first and foremost, by the working classes.” Says Russia Needs Security.
