HATCHTODEMAND JOB PROBE ACTION Citizens’ Commission and| $50,000 From Relief Fund | Asked in Measure. By the Associated Press. Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New| Mexico, disclosed yesterday he will| demand Senate action tomorrow on a proposal for a top-to-bottom in\'csu-‘ gation of unemployment by a special | “citizens’ commission.” ‘The bill—favorably reported by the Benate Education and Labor Commit-~ tee—calls for a $50.000 allocation from relief funds to finance an in- quiry into the causes and possible remedies of unemployment and into methods of handling relief.

One of the initial tasks, Hatch | said, would be to make the first «\fl‘p cial estimate of the number of unem- | Pployed. | Senator Murray, Democrat, of Mon- tana, co-author of the measure, is expected to join him in the effort to | force its consideration Tuesday | Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missou- | Ti, acting chairman of a commerce subcommittee, said he expected to open hearings early this week on an- other labor bill. The measure, intro- duced by Senator Maloney, Democrat, of Connecticut, would establish a | flexible work week, in which the hours of labor would vary with the extent | of unemployment. Range of Work Week. Under Maloney’s proposal the legal | work week would range from 30 hours | when more than 8,000,000 persons | sre unemployed to 40 hours when un- employment totals only 2,000,000 or less. The extent of idleness would be determined by periodic censuses, di- rected by a national unemployment commission Maloney will be the first witness at | the hearings, Clark said. He added ' that the committee would welcome any other witnesses. | Relief (Continued From First Page) failed to gain an immediate under- | 6tanding at a parley later with its supporters. | Chairman Cartwright of the House Roads Committee said it would con- sider the President’s views tomorrow morning and decide on a course of action. The differences were said to be principally on how relief funds for road construction should be spent. Informed persons represented the sit uation as follows: A majority of the Roads Committee contended all expenditures should be by State highway commissions on a eontract basis. | The President held that county highway boards should select the pro jects and obtain all necessary un- skilled labor from W. P. A. The public works, flood control and | highway groups won tentative House approval last week for earmarked funds. Administration leaders then | delayed a final vote on the bill to try | to reverse those decisions. “Strings” on Funds Opposed. The administratoin opposed putting Bny “strings” on the expenditures. Mr. Roosevelt estimated at a press conference that earmarking of the | funds would mean about 530,000 fewer jobs than if the money was left Cree. Other relief developments included: Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New Mexico, said he would ask the Senate ! %o vote tomorrow on a bill to survey | unemployment and relief methods by & presidential commission. | Works Progress Administrator Harry Hopkins said preliminary reports in- dicated 1,670,000 families received 6tate and local relief in January, 1,725,000 in February, and 1,710,000 in | March.

FUTURE DEMOCRACY TOPIC OF DR. GRAY Equality and Freedom Hold Keys to World Outlook, He Says. Bs the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 31.—Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray, chancellor of the Ameri- can University at Washingto, D. C, said the meaning of the words “equal- ity” and “freedom” and their correct interpretation by the people who gov- ern will determine the safety of de- mocracy in the future. Using the topic “Indispensable Ele- ment of Democracy,” Dr. Gray told the Chicago Sunday Evening Club last night the United States had gone through 150 years of struggle to un- derstand the correct meaning of the two words. “By equality we do not mean equal- ity in possessions, but equality at the ballot box, equality before the law,” Dr. Gray said. “By freedom we mean a freedom to Dossess, freedom to meet and assem- ble, freedom to work together for the common good and not a freedom to ramble at will, encroaching on other’s rights.” Mysterious Police Call.

A—3 REBELS INTENSIFY DRIVE ON BILBAD | Mola’s Army Presses Heavy Attack on City Near Capital. By the Associated Press HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Border, May 31.—Gen. Emilio Mola's northern insurgent army struck today at the key to the defenses of beleaguered Bilbao. The insurgents pressed a heavy ate tack on the strategic road junction city of Lemona, some 10 miles south- east of the Basque capital, which has been under siege by Mola three months. The attack was designed to cut through the steel line of fortifica- tions, hammering a wedgelike sector to Galdacano, which is the key to the inner ring of defenses. Basques said the situation was “serie out, but not desperate.” They asserted stiff resistance had blocked Mola’s onslaught and halted other offensives at Orduna, 22 miles to the sout , and at Munguia, on the northeast. Insurgent aviators paved the way for the attack yesterday, bombing the defense €s in co-ordination with an artillery barrage.
