ALDRICH SUGGESTS NEW JOBS BOARDS Banker Would Eliminate Political Pressure in e - "% Relief Program. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 3.— The creation of local boards to super- vise administration of unemployment relief was urged today by Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of the board of the Chase National Bank of the city of New York. In an address prepared for delivery before the Commonwealth Club of San Prancisco, Aldrich called the burden of unemploymenf ‘“the most important problem which faces us at this time.” Citing difficulties in administering relief, he said: “It would seem that what is needed is some new instrumentality in each locality which is made up neither of politicians nor of social workers. | which will study the situation, follow its development daily and see to it | that relief is adequate, and econom- ically administered.” Would Avoid Scandals. Comparing the proposed boards to war-time local draft boards, he said, “such organizations might go very far toward lessening the cost of relief, to- ward making sure that the relief given was adequate, that it went to the right people, that it did not go to the wrong people, that there were no scandals involved in it, and that political pressure had nothing to do with it.” ‘The philosophy of “priming the pump” Aldrich criticized as one to generate fear through increased bor- rowing, and even to create unemploy- ment through Government competi- tion with industry. Sees Serious Results. “I submit,” he said, “that if we, in | this country, concentrate on d)rett{ home relief and eliminate work relief | as far as possible, the budgets of the | municipal, county, State and Federal | Governments can be brought into | balance, and that if this is not done, we will soon be faced with a situation the seriousness of which cannot be exaggerated.” “GOOD-BY TO YOUTH” IS PRODUCED IN ITALIAN| Enthusiastic Audience Greets Play Given by Italian Dramatic Circle. A heartily enthusiastic audience greeted the Italian comedy, “Addio Giovinezza” (“Good-by to Youth"), written by S. Camasio and N. Oxilia and played by the Italian Dramatic Circle, and programs of song numbers by Carmela Lazzari, Iris Mazzarini | and N. Cosentino, presented last night | at the Belasco Theater in a benefit performance for destitute Italian| families. | The play, done in Italian, and packed with much comedy in lines | and situations, concerns the affairs | of a medical student, one Mario, and his landlady’s daughter, who is in | Jove with him. Mario’s schoomate, | Leone, a practical joker, fixes up this | affair by telling Dorina that Mario has another love. This makes Dorina very unhappy. Then Mario suddenly gets his “other love” in the form of & heavily veiled woman who Yushes | in his door to escape something or | somebody. This also makes Dorina | very unhappy. Anyhow, Dorina finally has a talk with Elena, the! “other love,” and convinces her mat‘ it should be first come, first served, | or something like that. This mukes Mario angry. Then Mario and Leone | receive their degrees, pack their be- | longings and bid good-by to their school days, school loves and their youth. Sounds as though it could be the dourest of tragedies, but last night the hallowed rafters of the Belasco were continually shaken by gay laughter. | Of those taking part, F. Colaprico probably lent the most authenticity to his role as Leone, reading his lines with clarity and performing excel- lently. Tosca Fattorini played Dorina with fine sensitivity, and Josephine Pisani, Amelia Fagiolo and L. R. Baronello performed almost equally well. Others in the smoothly working | cast were Leonora Palermo, Grace | Martorello, Olga Fattorini, J. Laz- | zari, V. Bruno, F. Campanella and F. Marchetti. The play was directed by | C. Figallo. | Before the play Carmela Lazzari | was heard in a group of Italian folk | songs. During intermissions Iris Maz- | zarini, soprano. offered a program | consisting of an aria from the opera “Sonnambula,” by Bellini; * nera,” by Julius Benedict; amo Mimi,” from “La Boheme,” selections from *Carmen,” by Puccini. | Following the play N. Cosentino, opera and radio tenor, sang E Lucevan le | Stelle,” from “Tosca” mine Door” and “Napuli e Sumenm il The singers were introduced charming Mary Hampton in true Audrey Sieber style. Edward Henny- | berry was accompanist. H. M. Woman Bailiff MEN MUST WEAR COATS IN HER COURT.

NG _STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, M CHILD LABOR BAN PROSPECTS HAILED Roosevelt Active in Pressing Amendment Before 20 More States. By the Assoclated Press. Supporters of the proposed child labor amendment sized up its chances today and reached the conclusion they are better than ever. The amendment, considered dead two years ago when it had been re- jected by more States than had ap- proved it, has now been ratified by 20 States and the Legislatures of a score of others meet in January. President Roosevelt is in the fore- front of the drive for ratification of the amendment, which would author- ize Congress to regulate child labor. “It is my desire,” he said last month in a letter to the National Child Labor Committee, “that the advances at- tained through the N. R. A. be made permanent. In the child labor field the obvious method of maintaining the present gains is through rasifica- tion of the child labor amendment. I hope this may be achieved.” States where the drive this Winter is centering are the following, which have Legislatures meeting: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Geor- Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and ‘Wyoming.
