EXPERT BACKS PLAN FOR JOB INSURANCE| Administration's Recommenda- tions Indorsed at Senate Hear- ing by Grace Abbott. By the Assoclated Press. Administration recommendations for unemployment insurance were in- dorsed before the Senate Finance Committee today by Miss Grace Ab- bott, professor of welfare at the Uni- versity of Chicago, and former head | of the United States Children's Bu- reau. She took issue with many social | welfare experts, who preceded her with demands for fixed Federal stan- dards in the law. She said she was |P. in favor of leaving these standards‘ with the States, for the present, with | the safeguard that all funds must go | to unemployment insurance. “The present form of the Wagner- Lewis bill” Miss Abbott said, “will give us what we need—pressure on the States to enact unemployment insur- | ance with a Federal shell that may be | expanded as needed.” Miss Abbott also recommended | h: much larger appropriations for child | aid, saying that 300,000 children are [ getting aid today, but another 300,000 i eligibles are not. | —_ 4-H Breakfast to Be Given.

B Prominent New Star Supplement to Have Circulation of 4,000,000. Authorsto Include Lewis, Hughes, Wodehouse, Fannie Hurst. New York City is popularly thought of as Babel on the Hudson. A New York newspaper ofice should be con- fusion worse confounded. But if you should seek out the office of Ken- tuckian Mrs. Willlam Brown Meloney (nee Marie Mattingly), in the office of the Herald-Tribune, you might well banish the thought of confusion from your mind. There is hurry here, but it is quiet hurry. Let's say that the charm of the South has moved into a great New York business office. Yet Mrs. Meloney has been through the business mill—30 years of it. When this writer interviewed her she was in the act of taking over possibly the biggest job of her career— that of editor of the new colorgravure magazine This Week, which The Sun- day Star, in co-operation with 20 other great newspapers, will issue every Sunday beginning February 24. But it was just as apparent at that moment, as it has been all through her career, that the pressure of New York business life has not destroyed in her the courtesy and thoughtful- ness that one associates with the women of the Southern States. Circulation 4,000,000. With its circulation of over four million, this magazine will have one of the greatest groups of readers ever gathered by one publication. Its stories will be written by such leading authors as Sinclair Lewis, Fannie Hurst, Rupert Hughes, P. G. Wode- house. Incidentally, Mrs. Meloney was the first editor ever to buy a story by Sinclair Lewis for serial publica- tion in a newspaper—and it will ap- pear in the first issue of This Week in The Sunday Star. Mrs. Meloney knows many parts of the South. Her uncle, Robert Irwin, after whom Irwindale, Miss, was named, had banking interests in Memphis. She spent part of her child- hood in Tunica, Miss., as well as in Her father’s family had come down from Maryland, where an ancestor was the first settler of St. Marys. Her mother's family came from South Carolina, where they had settled about 1700, via North Carolina, Mississippi and Tennessee. win Mattingly, had & remarkable career for a Southern girl of her day. According to Inez Hayes Irwin in her “Angels and Amazons,” she was “the first American woman to edit a bi-sexual magazine of any merit.” The magaziss was the Kentucky maga- | zine, A Monthly of Science and Gen- eral Literature, which she published at Bardstown for about two years. (Mrs. P. Mattingly was business manager.) Lew Wallace, Sidney Lanier, Henry | Grady and Romyn Hitchcock con- | tributed to the magazine, but few copies are to be found today. Silent on Failures. Six years ago sn obliging Ken- tuckian sent Mrs Meloney a copy of the Kentucky maga- zine. She examined it in amazement, having never heard of it before. asked her ailing mother (who died & year ago) and was told: “I never men- I didn’t want to discourage you.” It was Mother Mattingly's rule never to talk about failures—a rule which her able daughter has not had occasion to adopt. were never ignominious. sent her to Nazareth Academy, a con- vent near Bardstown, because they in the Civil War years. At Mississippi women to ‘ake a degree. Following her marriage, Sarah Mattingly became a semi-invalid, conceived the Kentucky life. Her husband was really more of a financia} angel than a manager, but to no avail. After two years they let the book - die. All her life frail Sarah Mattingly was a crusader. In a toolhouse on her Bardstown place she taught colored children to read and write—the first Kentucky. That particular project was a failure, but later events justified the effort. Mrs. Mattingly was a pioneer suffragist, nearly killing her- | self marching in one of the earliest suffrage parades. Magazine Displayed. Mrs. Meloney placed a copy of the Kentucky magazine on exhibition at the World's Fair in Chicago last year. With such a background, it was no wonder that Sarah Mattingly's daugh- ter became assistant to a Washington newspaper correspondent at 16 and was the first woman to sit in the Senate press gallery. Writing for the Wash- ington Post, she covered the Demo- cratic and Republican conventions at 18. Because of ill health, she went to Denver, but not to rest. She became a reporter on the Denver Post, for which paper she later came to Wash- ington as correspondent. Later she went to New York to work on the Sun, met William Brown Meloney, & newspaper man who had studied law in the San Francisco office of the fu- ture Governor and Senator Hiram Johnson. She became Mrs. William Brown Meloney, took time out from a busy career to have three children, of whom one, William Brown Meloney, 5th, a newspaper publisher, is living. In place of the other boy and girl the Meloneys took another boy and girl into their home and raised them. It would, indeed, be difficult to find a person better qualified for the edi- torial direction of This Week. Mrs. Meloney combines an unusually wide and rich editorial experience with a wide personal acquaintance with men and women of importance in the vari- ous fields of human endeavor. Her editorial experience includes the following: Editor, New York Her- ald-Tribune Magazine, eight years; editor, Delineator, six years: editor, Woman’s Magazine, three years, and associate editor of Everybody's Maga- zine, two years. Acquainted With Officials. She has maintained a close personal acquaintance with the important offi- cials in every administration and has induced many Government officials, including cabinet members, to write special articles of timely interest for her magazine, During her editorial career Mrs. Meloney has purchased more than 3;! ,000,000 worth of fiction and arti- cles.

Wells is president, and whose membership includes the fa- mous &uthors of today. She has achieved fame abroad, having been decorated for distinguished service by both France and Belgium. She was an organizer of the Marie Curie Ra- dium Commission; is a director of the Child Foundation and American Child Health Association; a founder and vice president of Better Homes in America, of which Herbert Hoover was the first president; a member of the National Institute of Social Sciences, National League of Business and Professional Women. She inaugurated the Adult Weight Conference called by American Medical Association in 1925; also the conference of members of the Amer- ican Psychiatric Association on “Why Men Fail,” in 1927, Organized Conference. Among her recent notable achieve- ments was the organization of the New York Herald Tribune's Women's Conference on Current Problems. The fourth annual conference held in Sep- tember, 1934, was attended by 25,000 ‘women, representatives from every State in the Union and a number of foreign countries, delegates from nearly 3,000 colleges, schools and clubs throughout the United States. Appli- cations were received from 32.000 women, nearly 50 per cent more than available space would accommodate. The conferenee was addressed by lead- ing authorities on social and eccnomic problems, among them Governors, Senators, cabinet members and the President of the United States. There were 28 national and 4 international | broadcasts. The conference is used | as a basis of current event discussions in clubs and colleges throughout the country.

Unofficial sources said Fraulein Zandersch also has been sentenced to life imprisonment. She was once em- ployed as secretary in the Reichswehr ministry. An Armenian girl named Berber- jan, arrested six months ago on sus- picion of espionage and later released, made a last-minute escape from Ber- lin to London as the current investi- gation was opened. It was reported here she, too, was implicated in the | Sosnowski affair. Sosnowski’s luxurious home was a social center of Berlin and was fre- | quently visited by diplomatic emis- saries and persons ranking high in the German army and the Nazi party. ‘The former husband of Baroness Von Berg was a member of the German Air Corps during the World War and is said to be well acquainted with Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goering, minister of aviation. Marriage Desired. Sosnowski was understood to have been anxious to marry Frau Von Berg in jail, thereby making her a Polish citizen and in that way possibly ob- taining clemency for her. Frau Von Berg, unofficial accounts of the alleged conspiracy say, obtained military information for Sosnowski by worming it out of the two young women Reichswehr secretaries. Officials were said to have learned first of their activities after the mother of one of the two young women became suspicious of her daughter’s frequent absence from home at night and the source of an _expensive fur coat she acquired. The mother made inquiries at the Reichswehr office and the anti- espionage department . ordered the girls placed under surveillance. They were arrested at a party at Sosnowski’s home shortly afterward. _— HEART ATTACK KILLS MOTHER OF W’INTYRE Funeral Services for Parent of Secretary to Roosevelt Set for Tomorrow.

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., February 18.—The Congressional Committee on Un-American Activities is charged by Gen. Smedley D. Butler with suppres- sion of testimony and names in its investigation of an alleged Fascist plot against the Government. In a short address broadcast from his home Saturday night, the flery former Marine asserted the group, in its report to Congress last week, ig- nored important witnesses whose names were written into the record of the inquiry. He pointed to his testimony, in which he declared an offer had been made to him to lead a march of | 50,000 veterans on Washington, and flatly stated “some of the most im- | portant portions had been suppressed in the official report to Congress.” Names Prominent Men. He termed the investigating group | “the comimittee that stopped dead in | its tracks when it got near the top.” The “big shots” who, he said, should have been called, “if the committee wanted to get at the whole truth,” were identified by Butler as Onyson M. P. Murphy, a New York broker; Louis McHenry Howe, secretary to President Roosevelt; Alfred E. Smith, former Democratic presidential nomi- nee; former Gov. Ely of Massachu- setts, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff of the United States Army; Hanford MacNider, former commander of the American Legion and one-time Minister to Canada; Frank N. Bel- grano, national commander of the American Legion. Butler brought in also the names of Gerald P. Maguire, employed in Mur- phy's brokerage office and mentioned in connection with the purported of- fer made to Butler to lead the march on the National Capital, and William Doyle, former Legion department comander in Massachusetts.

Among those signing the statement were William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and members of the Advisory Committee of the President’s Committee on Eco- nomic Security. “We commend in principle the ad- ministration’s program,” the state- ment said. “We desire, however, to protest against the unemployment in- surance provisions of the bill on the | grounds that they are inadequate and unworkable.” BRIEF ILLNESS FATAL TO MRS.

The emergency money asked for the next fiscal year, it said, is more than what is likely to be spent during that year.

Administration men are pressing for speed, declaring that money for relief is needed quickly and that the public works program should be started as soon as possible. They hope for a vote by the end of the week. If the bill goes through in the form the administration desires, officials indicated, road building and soil erosion control will be the first public works started. ‘The Public Works Administration expects a torrent of applications for money if the measure is approved.

Chancellor Pictures Him as Champion of In- dividual Liberty. Individual liberty and {initiative found a champion last night as Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray, chancellor of American University, extolled the career of Abraham Lincoln as the type best representative of ploneer- ing and progress. Dr. Gray spoke before about 500 members and friends of the National Capital Republican Club at their me- morial services in commemoration of the 126th anniversary of the birth of Lincoln. The services were held in the Metropolitan Memorial M. E. Church at Nebraska and New Mex- ico avenues. “Lincoln is the historic answer to those noisy voices which are today discrediting the individual in the massing tyrannies of society and the State,” Dr. Gray said. “He is the characteristic representative of es- sential democracy gathered to the thesis that the individual is the sov- ereign and the State the servant; that the State is the instrument for the protection of the individual's oppor- tunities, security and freedom. quali- fied only by what is determined up as the common weal. “The needs of the human spirit have not gone—the need for treedom, ‘or initiative, for opportunities of those outreaches of endeavor which do not level life to the ranges of the mediocre, but open it to the loftier altitudes of personal achievement.” In developing his characterization of Lincoln, Dr. Gray traced the former President’s life, crediting the influ- ence of his home, his reading and his Ilinois political experiences for their part in the man’'s development.
