v INDUSTRY EXPECTS NEW DEAL CHANGE Predicts Other Approachesi to Idleness Cure—Sees First Failing. By the Associated Press New experiments in solving the un- employment problem were predicted today by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in voicing objec- tions to all the solutions so far pro- posed. In its regular bi-weekly review, the chamber noted objections to the pro- posals now under consideration. “Direct relief payments are the least expensive,” it said. “So-called work relief programs, if involving produc- tion of goods, raise the question of | - Government competition with busi- ness, and in other forms hold forth the promise of putting relatively few to work in useful effort. Demoralization Seen. “If administered without the cus- tomary incentive and discipline this form of relief moreover can be more demoralizing than direct relief. “The current public works program has proved disappointing in the amount of employment furnished. “The somewhat vague suggestions brought forward for a mammoth Gov- ernment housing program would seem to threaten the success of the Federal Housing Administration’s plans for en- couraging private home construction. Hours Cut Held Useless. H “Reduction of hours has not brought the benefits promised. Unemployment insurance is not feasible for immedi- ate relief needs.” Saying none of these measures | should be used exclusively, the cham- | ber added i “Government and business must de- | termine what combination of methods present the fewest complications and the least destructive influences.” E.

NAVY GUN DESIGNER DELAYS RETIREMENT| Roosevelt's Order Extends Service of Construction Expert for United States. _President Roosevelt, through execu- tive order, has extended the Govern- | ment service of the Navy's gun con- | struction expert, Carl F. Jeansen, it ! was learned yesterday. | Ordinarily, Jeansen would retire | from duty next March, due to reaching the age limit, but through action of | the Chief Executive, he gets a year's extension. Considered one of the Government's | most valued servants, Jeansen was born in Sweden March 23, 1865. *He came to the United States in 1889 and | was employed with various machine tool firms until 1892. He served in ! the Ordnance Department of the Army as chief draftsman at the Watervleit Arsenal in New York and later was at ! Sandy Hook. He came to Washington for the War Department and was a gun designer here until 1905, when he transferred to the Navy Department. Jeansen served at the Washington Navy Yard in the naval gun factory from 1905 until 1919 and he has been | a gun designer in the Bureau of Ord- | nance at the Navy Department since | that time.
