Extensive plans by will try to stimulate business, see that jobs are filled and stabilize employ- ment were explained today to the House. The four-department appropriation bill reported contained several allot- ments intended to achieve these pur- poses. i The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, which has as its principal aim telling people who make things where they are | most likely to sell them, will concen- trate of its set-up in the United States, establishing a sort of county agent sys- tem under which information can be carried directly to more businesses. The prime objects, Director F. M. Feiker testified in hearings on the bill, will be to help business men eliminate waste in distribution and reduce costs. The appropriation for the bureau is $4.869,531. | The Commerce Department also will spend $90.000 on its Federal Employ- ment Stabilization Board, created last year to supervise Government works and advise other builders on maintaining a steady construction level. D. H. Sawyer, director of the board, is certain he can “prognosticate trouble head™ and told the committee that “if we can bring about little by little with patience and tolerance the advance | planning by cities and States, and then have them so handle their finances that there is a reserve available, then when times of stress come" there will be avatlable means of creating employment, Before the year is out the Labor De- partment will have in the neighborhood of 150 offices to bring together unem- ployed men and jobs. Director Alpine of the Employment Service told the Appropriations Committee that in the cight months ending with last Decem- ber, 101 of these offices found jobs for 2 men. The bureau is establishing 54 new offices, with $120,000 appropri- ated in December. and the bill reported today allows $802,500 to continue the work. MITCHELL APPROVES MODIFIED TRUST LAW Sees No Objection to Proposed Busi- ness Combinations, but Doubts Plan Will Work. Attorney General Mitchell sees no objection to an anti-trust law modi- fication permitting Federal Trade Com- mission approval of proposed business combinations. to safeguard them from litigation. He told the House Appro- priations Committee, however, that he was not enthusiastic about it as a prac- tical measure and entertained doubts that it would work out as expected The Attorney General pointed out it has been the practice of business people to come to the Justice Department to lay out propositions of the sort, obtain a statement that nothing objectionable is seen in the project as presented, and: “Then when it comes to be put in op- eration, we find that they nudge a little here and they nudge a little there, and when it gets into actual working it pro- duces an entirely different effect from what was planned. Then, when the Department steps in, it is accused of attacking something that it had ap- proved.” There would always be argument of that sort, he contended, if the Trade | Commission were authorized to issue authorities for mergers or combinations. However, he said, he had no objection if business men wish to give the plan a try. The committee also learned from John Lord O'Brian, Mitchell’s assistant in charge of anti-trust laws, that the Radio Corporation case will, according to present intention, be tried. “The only uncertainty there has been about this trial,” he said, “has been the date when it would be tried and the scope of the trial itself.” OVE BABY PUT IN ST Explains 6- Year-Old Colored Attendant When Mother Returns.

While we recognize that this committee is not clothed with legislative authority, yet the facts brought to the attention of the com- mittee in the report of the public printer show that practically every department of the Government has stored away an accumulation of printed material in the | form of bulletins and books, covering a | long period of years, for which there is no demand, and at no time has there been more than a limited demand for many of such publications.

A black cat—pet of the two men— was found alive. Two cats were dead. When Areander’s body was found, 40 hours had passed since the slide.
