NEW PLAN OFFERED 10 HELP JOBLESS Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver of Harvard Outlines Six- Point Proposal. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 17.—Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver, Harvard profe: sor, outlined yesterday before the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers a six-point plan for combating unem- loyment, and declared that if business terests opposed such a plan ‘“they must pay the price of their folly in un- employment doles or tax-supported un- employment insurance.” His plan was divided into two parts: ;:‘nr decreasing the oversupply of T “1, Exclusion of immigrant labor. *2.

KENNEDY. | Casualties of the ‘“lame-cuck” ses- sion of Congress will extend beyond the | group of defeated legislators to offices and committee rooms behind the scenes | where a force of hard-working secre- taries and clerks labor quietly and faithfully to keep thelawmaking ma- chinery turning smoothly. The “lame-duck” session is named after those who have lost out at the polls and who will be seeking as good & place as they can get on the Gover ment pay roil. Scant thought is given to the even larger number of secretaries and clerical employes who, through no fault of their own, many of them expert in certain lines, will bs automatically cut off from the employment to which they have given long years of faithful and loyal service which in any other | line of employment would have meant a lifetime position. | Take, for example, Miss Jessie T. | Lovell, who during 32 years of service with two outstanding members of Con- ess has won a reputation as one of the best, most efficient and hard-work- | ing secretaries in the House Office Building. Miss Lovell came here first as secretary to the late Representative Dave H. Invidson, to whose interests she devoted herself for 18 years, until his ceath. About the time he died the | secretary to Representative Will R. Wood of Indiana died. and Miss Lovell succeeded to that job, 14 years ago. During all that time her hours on duty have been approximately from 7 am. | until 7 p.m. when Congress was in ses- | sion and her employer was in Wash- | ington. Now she faces a loss of her | job on March 4—and no other in sight. | Ten Years Alde to Kentucky. | Then there is another case—James H.

Becauce of her ability and special knowledge, both Re- publican and Democratic members are trying to hold her on that job. Also with Mr. Haugen and about to face the necessity of tackling a new job is 8. H. Yorkdale, who has been Mr. Haugen's secretary for the past five years, work- ing with him on the McNary-Haugen agricultural marketing act and clerk to the joint conference of Senate and House on the marketing act which re- sulted in establishment of the Federal Farm Board. Another type of prospective job | hunter is George Norton, secretary to Representative Charles L. Underhill | (Republican) of Massachusetts, who is rounding out 12 years of service and declined to seek re-election. Norton ran for Congress in the Underhill dis- trict and was defeated, an upset oc- curring in that district which is send. ing a new Democratic member. There are plenty of hard luck stories around the Capitol these days, where clerks and secretaries are suddenly forced to make readjustments that alter the entire course of their lives. But many of them are hoping that new members will take them on as secre- | taries because of their specialized | knowledge and their familiarity with the departmental service in Washington. | URGES DRIVE TO FAVOR | PRODUCTS OF DIXIELAND| North Carolina Division of South- eastern Economic Group Rec- ommends Campaign. that in many instances work-sharing | For 10 years he was secretary to Repre- | my the Associated Pre had been effected without reductions in wee! salaries.

By the Associated Press. In capturing a dozen Republican | seats in the new Senate and almost a hundred in the House, the Democrats | have cause for jubilation, but with it | all there is a possibility some of the newcomers may have to sit with the | Republicans. These political overflows have oc- curred before, but more often from the Republican to the Democratic side. When it was the other way around the Democrats usually found room to| crowd in their extra flock. But next year, with the large Democratic ma- | jorities, it may be different. “Cherokee Strips” Planned. | Party secretaries now are facing the problem of figuring whether it will be necessary to create on the Republican side in each House “Cherokee strips” | to take care of those extra Democrats who may be forced to “wander off the reservation,” as the Oklahoma Red- | The first “Cherokee strip” was in-| stalled in the House in 1891, when the | J Democrats had 238 members against 80 Republicans. Almost complete re- turns show the next House will have at least 314 Democrats and only 114 Republicans. Unless the center aisle is moved into existing Republican terri- | tory, is is going to be difficult to avoid | another “strip.” | It is the same story in the Senate. The last “strip” there was in 1922, during the Harding administration, when that little group of Republicans— Pepper and Crowe of Pennsylvania, Bursum, New Mexico; Ernst, Kentucky; Norbeck, South Dakota, and Weller, | Maryland—had to rub elbows with their opponents when in their seats.

Henry Herrick Bond of Boston, for- mer Ascistant Secretary of the Treasury, said three lessons had been learned from the current economic situation: Cereal Beverage Tax. “Pirst, that it is unfortunate to de- pend on an income tax which responds 80 suddenly to a decrease in income: second. that emergency taxes tend put a further check on business recov- ery, and third, that the Government ghould build up a surplus in times of prosperity.” A resolution was adopted favoring “the adoption by Congress of a one- t (imposed at one point) manufac- | s’ excise tax and a tax on cereal beverages non-intoxicating in fact, in| amounts sufficient to permit elimi- pation of the present selective sales| taxes” * * * | The word “beer” was replaced by | “cereal beverages” when members ob- ed the original wording would put| on record as advocating a tax on| something forbidden by law. | Other resolutions opposed Govern- | ment competition in_the manufacture | of articles used governmental | agencies, indorsed the work-sharing movement, condemned compulsory un- employment insurance as placing an ex- cessive burden on industry, urged gov- ernmental economy and advocated the limiting of expenditures for relief of | 'war veterans suffering from non-mili-| tary disabilities.

By the Associated Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 17.— The construction industry was advised today not to wait for the Government to lead it out of depression, but to find its | own route Oscar W. Rosenthal of Chicago, pres- {dent of the National Association of Building Trades Employers, presented the advice in an address last night be- fors the Cleveland Builders' Exchange. Focenthal said securities of the Ped- eral Home Loan Bank will be “so sound, 80 good and of such splendid yield that it will present a serious matter to get any other security to sell against them.” Nevertheless, Rosenthal said he be- lieved the Home Loan Bank will not | make available much money for con- | struction for a number of years, and rather than wait, the construction in- | dustry itself “must devise a security of | ment trust which will create a greater reservoir of mortgages and against that Issue debentures of unquestioned sound- ness " BANDITS KIDNAP FOUR By the Associated Press.
