WELSH URGE KING 10 PROVIDE J0BS Edward Inspects Distressed Mining Districts—Prom- ises Aid. BY the Assoclated Press. CWMBRAN, Wales, November 19.— An open letter appealing to King Ed- ‘ward to arrange that a “higher living standard, work and wages be given to thousands of willing hands so eagerly waiting” was handed to one of the ruler's aides today. King Edward’s equerry received the letter shortly before the monarch be- gan his second day’s tour of impover- ished Welsh mining districts. Inspecting headquarters of the Committee for the Jobless at Blaen- avon, the King promised an attempt to ease the unemployment situation. Turning to the chairman of the committee, he said: “Something will be done about unemployment.” At Pontypool junior instruction cen- ter, the monarch joked about the fact that the girls' and boys’ departments were separated. Noting that the boys' carpentry shops were separated from a large ad- Joining room, where the girls were being taught domestic science, he re- marked: “Oh, I see, you want to keep their minds on their work.” Jobless men at Blaenavon gathered close around the King and a dozen of them patted him on the back as he | stood at the foot of the town's ceno- taph, chatting. When the chairman of the Town Council told the King there were | “many willing hands in this town,” Edward replied: “Of course there are, and something must be done to find work for them.” Half the population of Blaenavon, | which before the war was a booming , steel town, now is without work. A copy of the letter signed by a | number of people calling themselves | the “Eastern Valley Marchers,” first was handed to the equerry at Cwmbran before the day’s tour start- ed. Another copy was given to the equerry at Pontypool, where copies | were distributed in the street in the | form of leaflets. o Simpson (Continued From Pirst Page.) has two daughters)—would restore the dignity and austerity to Buckingham Palace which has been missing since the death of King George. “There is little doubt that at pres- ent nobody knows King Edward’s in- tentions. Probably he will not know himself until he has fully tested the temper of the working class.” Some members of the peerage—sup- ported by some of the so-called mid- | dle class and certain elements of the | Church of England—resent the lack of publicity given by British news-| papers on the King's friendship with | Tillie, one of the three elephants “farmed out” for Fall and Winter between theatrical and circus engagements, shown how she earns her keep by pulling a plow for Louis E.

To this same question, Mrs. Simp- son herself was declared to have re- plied: . “How can I answer such a question when it has not even been discussed?” The informed peer described the debate among high circles as “giving Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) private industry, the problem of im- proved living conditions of low-income groups through low-cost housing and slum clearance, and the problem of improving wages and working condi- tions of employes in industry.” Work Held Beneficial, Mr. Roosevelt said he felt the coun- | the cabinet more headaches than all| .iis work in the study of Govern- the wars and rumors of wars in Bu-| ment_business problems “has been zove. ; | beneficial.” The cabinet members, the peer| "po added that the trips council said, “are discussing it about every | erverc have made to Washington day—and are rapidly getting no-| where.” symbolizing “the type of co-operation FAMILIES ROUTED ress we are making.” Roper, in a talk to the council, said at their own expense and the sacrifice of their time indicated an attitude essential to & continuity of the prog- FROM HOME BY FIRE that one of “the most obstinate prob- lems demanding vital attention on the part of business” is that of further | Vogelsang of the Baltimore Detective | absorbing unemployed into private in- Sick Person Forced to Leave Bed | to Escape Flames—Interiors of Two Houses Damaged. dustry.

Novem- ber 19.—Detectives were working on & “new angle” in the Corinna Loring | ing her flance, Richard Tear, 30, of | Washington, for two hours yesterday afternoon.

Rexford Guy Tugwell, the last of the brain trust, today offered no ex- planation as to why he resigned his positions as resettlement adminis- trator and Undersecretary of Agricul- ture to take s post in the world of industry. Observers wondered whether a big salary in private industry had lured Tugwell from the New Deal, or whether President Roosevelt was be- ginning to shake up his official fam- ily to get rid of some of those officials around whom criticism had centered. They also asked themselves whether Tugwell was tired of being the “Whip- ping boy” of the New Deal on whom Roosevelt critics poured their wrath, or whether the Chief Executive had determined upon some change of pol- icy that conflicted with the young administrator’s views. Some of Policies to Stay. But even though Tugwell will be gone by the first of January, certain of his policies will go marching on. Dr. Will W. Alexander, former Methodist minister and Tugwell assistant, who is slated to become R. A. chief, favors a farm tenancy program which is a virtual continuation of the Tugwell undertaking. ‘The consensus today was that Tug- well is & sensitive man and chafed under the ceaseless barrage of criticism fired by anti-administration critics, who charged he desired a red set-up in the United States. During the 30 months he has been in ‘Washington he has gained a great store of knowledge about the sugar industry, and it is for this he will be valuable as executive vice president wrote Dr. Tugwell before his depar- ture for South America: “I fully understand the reasons that make you feel you should for & time at least return to private life for a few months, * * * I fully ex- pect to ask you to come back to render additional service.” ‘Tugwell retains his position as ad- viser on the Special Farm Tenant Investigative Committee established by the President the day he accepted Tugwell’s resignation. Secretary Wallace last night peid his ceparting Undersecretary this compliment: “Men of Tugwell's courage and in- sight are rare. We shall all regret that he is no longer with the Gov- ernment.” _ The Resettlement Administration of the immediate future will devote itself to completing the projects begun under the regime of Tugwell. Before June 30, 1937, when its life expires, R. A, a gigantic organization, which at its height last June employed 19,500 persons, and now has 12,500 workers on its pay roll, expects to finish 44 rural resettlement projects farmers and their families, plete three suburban resettlement town projects. But new projects are out, it was learned today, A year from now Rs A. probably will be & branch of the De- partment of Agriculture, complement- ing the work of the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration, and then a worked out for the agency. Drought Interference. Resettlement would have been able deplete its resources, which amounted | to $119,000,000, by $20,000,000, $8,500.- 000 of which has already been spent The drought was over in September, | but its effects go on and on. Farmers | working now on W, P. A. projects s0on will lose this income with the arrival |of Winter and the shutting down of | works projects. At such a time, R. A. will have to begin making available another $11,500,000 in loans and grants, In recent months R. A’'s emphasis has been on the land program. L. C. new plan of activity probably will be | to'tarry its policy further forward had | not the drought come just in time to | through the East Arkansas share- cropper belt. “A great deal of emphasis must be placed on supervision and guidance in | any long-term tenant program,” said Alexander, a former Methodist min- ister of Atlanta, Ga., who became in- terested in resettlement work through & study of farm tenancy in 1933. “The co-operative movement has | gone a long way among farmers, and it will and should be developed slowly, with careful experimentation.” He warned the South against “in- dustries that come in to exploit our people” and added that “industries depending on cheap labor will tend to break down living standards all over the Nation.” Secretary Wallace and his party | talked for several hours with former relief clients who make up Dyess Col- ony, co-operative effort sponsored by the Federal Government. The colo- nists are acquiring the land through long-time Government financing. | Regarding a suggestion that the | Government establish a series of col- onies like Dyess, Wallace said “This is & matter for the President’s Ten- ancy Commission to consider.” ALEXANDER CITES NEED OF TENANTS Advocates Supervised Long- Range Land Purchase Program.
