By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, November 30.— Two University of Minnesota scien- tists, successful already in developing cellulose, a principal ingredient of rayon, from the aspen tree, yesterday speculated on the possibility of mak- ing gasoline from lignite. The two, Prof. Lloyd H. Ryerson and Ralph E. Brewer, hunting new raw materials and new uses for old D. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1934. ones with the co-operation of the Northwest Research Foundation, were heartened as they considered lignite, by the success of German scientists in making gasoline from brown coal. Lignite, they pointed out, is similar in composition to Germany’s brown coal. Success of experiments along these lines would create an outlet for vast deposits of the low grade coal which underlie the prairies of North and South Dakota and Eastern Mon- tana. Geologists have estimated their total at 1,000,000,000,000 tons. Retired Rail-Lumber Man Dies.

Their primary purpose, one of the USE OUR LAY AWAY PLAN! A SMALL DEPOSIT UNDERWOODS group disclosed, is to co-operate in developing a program based on sound principles, with employers taking the | Jead. Another vital consideration. however, was reported to be that jockeying in congressional committees | and on the floor might produce a measure detrimental to business inter- ests. | These business executives, contend- | ing that unemployment insurance | eould best be handled through an un- derstanding between emplover and | emplove, have been studying the ques- tion intensively for the past week. Would Take Initiative. With this information and their own {deas on the subject, they were rep- resented as ready to go to Washing- ton and take the initiative in the pro- | gram. working out their plan under principles of social relief laid down by | President Roosevelt. | Consultation with social relief ex-| perts by these industrialists has de- veloped a realization of the immensity of the task involved in instituting un- employment payments on a national scale, it was indicated. | Major questions with which they have come to grips, it was learned, in- | cluded: 1. Whether insurance reserves should be set up on a State or industry | basis? 2. 1If on a State basis, would a State with little unemployment pay out | funds to States where idleness is great? | 3. Similarly, on an industry-reserve basis, would there be payments from | Jow unemployment lines into those where relatively more workers are not on the job? Separate Plan Program. One program advanced proposed allowing certain industries to estab- lish their own plans, to administer | _ them separately and to pay their| own way, but it was argued that in- dustries with low unemployment | ratios would prefer to set up their | own reserves and force lines with | high unemployment rates to rely on State funds when their own reserves Tun low. Experts also are seeking to devise @ check against an industry or State with high seasonal unemployment from taking reserves built up by States or industries in which the | working ratio is more stable. A general lack of information on | unemployment itself was termed a stumbling block for the analysis. Such | questions as an accurate number of | the jobless, the length of time they | have been out of work, reasons for | their being umable to work and the ! type of jobs for which they are suited cannot be satisfactorily answered.

It was undertaken as a result of Dr. Reiner's firm belief that the prac- tice of giving opera in foreign lan- guages is a ridiculous mistake, partly due to the snobbish attitude of the “Initiates.” partly to the fact that imported musicians don't wish to un- dertake the extra labor of relearning parts, and partly because of poor translations. “I wouldn't even argue the ques- tion,” said Dr. Reiner, meanwhile ex- ploring the depths of a bouillabaise. “Of course we should be able to un- derstand what we hear. “Getting the translations is a tough job. Nobody knows that better than Alexander Smallens and myself, who share the direction of the Phila- delphia Orchestra’s opera season this winter, If there is no decent transla- tion, or if singers who can, or will, sing English are not available, opera must be given in the language in which it is written, of course. “But personally, I'll go to any lengths to obtain a translation.
