ALLEN Relief Needs Next Fiscal Year Will Double Expenditures This Year; PWA Wants 3 Billion; Employment Fell in March When Rise is Usual; Total Idle -15;000,-000; Even Rural Areas Now Must Get Work Relief. Re-lief. WASHINGTON WPA chiefs have told the president that three ""billion .dollars will be necessary to meet relief needs during the next fiscal year beginning July 1 almost al-most double the $1,750,000,000 expended for relief this year. At present, WPA is spending $155.-000.000 $155.-000.000 a month to take care of 2.500.000 jobless, and this, according accord-ing to tire private report of WPA executives to the president, is far short of urgent requirements. In support of this they cited these significant facts: That for the first time in its history. WPA is furnishing work-relief in rural areas: that employment, instead of turning upward as usual in March, took another precipitous nose dive. According to WF'A figures. 90.-000 90.-000 were added to the idle army last month, making a total of 4,-000.000 4,-000.000 thrown out of work since September. 1937. when the recession reces-sion started WPA experts esti mate that the countrv now has between twleve and fifteen million wholly unemployed. In addition, there will be an added demand for relief due to the exhaustion of unemployment insurance in-surance funds. As a result of all this, the president definitely has decided on two things: (1) to boost the $1.-000,000.000 $1.-000,000.000 relief budget he recommended rec-ommended in his January message, mes-sage, and (2) to ask repeal of the Woodrum amendment requiring WPA to allocate its funds on a 12-month 12-month basis. , Elimination' of the Woodrum restriction re-striction would give WPA a free hand in spending its money as need (Continued on rage Eight) 20-30 Speaker Members of the 20-30 club win hear Mr. Newman of United Airlines, Salt Lake City, discuss transcontinental air flight, costs.

Lucas Kelly - Nash Ring Beaten In Illinois CHICAGO, Aprit 13 U.P Illinois counted the last straggling returns today of a domestic primary pri-mary election in which the five-year five-year reign of the Kelly-Nash political po-litical organization was shattered by three men it had scorned. The three were: Gov. Henry Horner who was diopped by the machine leaders, Mayor Edward J. Kelly and National Na-tional Committeeman Pat Nash in 1936 but who won renomination and election despite them. State's Attorney Tom Courtney Court-ney who was cast out of the "inner "in-ner council" in 1936 because he befriended Horner. Judge Edmund K. Jarecki of the Cook county court who sentenced fraudulent voters and was dropped drop-ped by the organization this year. Horner and Courtney welded together a coalition of dissident Democrats, downstate opponents of the Chicago "bosses," Republicans Republi-cans and Inaependents in a "machine" "ma-chine" powerful enough to nominate nom-inate its candidates for the prizes of the primary nominations for U. S. senator and Cook county judge. j Lucas Nominated j They won the U. S. . senator ial nomination for Congressman Scott Lucas, over the powerful challenge of the Kclly-Nash-back-ed U. S. District Attorney Michael Mich-ael L. Igoc. They renominated Jarccik against the regular organization or-ganization '.s candidate, Jliflgc John ilystalbki. Igoe ran on an "up or down with President Roosevelt" platform plat-form and Lucas reputedly is somewhat cool Zl the New Deal. National issues played little part however. The tabulation at noon of 7204 precincts of 8286 in Illinois gave: Lucas 668,320. Igoe 646.531. c Jarecki won by nearly 35,000. His office, controlling the "pook county election machinery, was regarded re-garded as of tremendous strategic importance in the mayoral election elec-tion of 1939 in which Courtey is expected to face Kelly.

American Enterprise refuses to gamble longer on the vagaries of Washinfton as to whethr it is to live or die. Frightened and disheartened by the shifting and uncertain taxation policies of President Roosevelt and Congress, American Business has retrenched on all sides, cut down its overhead,! pared its forces to a minimum and is preparing to "coast along" until after the storm. Many factories, unable even to meet operating, expenses under the multiplicity of taxes, have closed down entirely. en-tirely. The tragic result is apparent on all sides. Unemployment Unem-ployment is mounting. Breadlines are reforming. Relief agencies are overtaxed. And Washington is preparing to distribute another billion and a half dollars as the first appropriation in a new levy on taxpayers' money to feed and clothe these unemployed. If the President and Congress would end the recession, reces-sion, they must cure the CAUSE and not merely seek to alleviate the EFFECTS. ' - , The history of American Business during the past 200 years plainly points the way. American Enterprise formed the thirteen colon ies. it fought the Revolutionary War. It impelled men westward to conquer the plains. It built the rail roads, cut the timber that went into millions of homes. It mined the gold that financed even greater expansion. It fought the war that saved the Union from disruption. American Enterprise developed ten thousand Patents on new and useful devices. It created steel. It built skyscrapers. It developed automobiles and tutors' and other power machines that have largely freed man from back-bfetfking, heart-rending manual ork and, made American labor the nvy of the world. American Enterprise is on the threshold of even greater benefits for the human race. But it must have freedom of action for such development and reasonable assurance of a continuation of that freedom. Here are the provisions of the Four Point Program To End Recession offered by The Herald, a program, that gets at the SOURCE of the trouble, a program that should have the active support cf Utah labor, Utah business and the PROMPT CO-OPERATION of the Utah delegation in congress: 1 Legislation making Labor equally responsible with Business in industrial in-dustrial disputes. 2 Enactment of an adequate tax program pro-gram with a five year guarantee against change, so business can confidently plan for the future. 3 A definite statement of policy on government competition with privately-owned utilities. 4 Stabilization of the value of the dollar. F. D. R. BACKS PROFITS LEVY WASHINGTON. April 13 iLMl President Roosevelt today urged senate and house conferees considering con-sidering the tax revision bill to retain the principle of the undistributed undis-tributed profits tax. The skeleton of the undistributed undistribut-ed profits tax was retained in the bill by the house but was eliminated elim-inated by the senate. "Modifications show by experience experi-ence to be desirable, in particular the exemption of small corporations, corpora-tions, should e made," the president presi-dent wrote Chairman Pat Harrison, Harri-son, D., Miss., of the senate finance fin-ance committee and Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. C. of the house ways and means committee. com-mittee. Harrison, conservative leader of the drive that eliminated the profits levy in the senate without a record vote, quickly challenged the president with a sharp statement. state-ment. "The president is entitled to his viewa," Harrison said. "Of course, he accords to everyone else the same right to their views. "The views expressed in this letter do nqt coincide with the overwhelming sentiment of the senate. "My views are well known and need not be explained now." (Editorial) - U. S.

F-JRTHFf? NQTtCS American Business cannot and will not continue to be the experimental guinea pig for the changing whims of every peevish tax theorist. It cannot and will not permit ambitious politicians to overlord it with the major portion of the cost of the biggest spending spree in history. It cannot and will not try to operate under the new, unhealthy and unreasonable political regulation that has been thrown around it on all sides. Those who,' in government and out, demand that Business pay out more than it takes in and carry out Enterprise without prospect of reasonable gain not only are asking the unreasonable but the impossible. The sooner they realize it, the better off the American Amer-ican people as a whole will be. President Roosevelt and Congress have full power to set up an adequate but reasonable and practical tax program. While they cannot under the constitution commit future Congresses to a five-year program, they can establish a precedent for such a five-year moratorium mora-torium and by resolution express a policy that will have weight with future Congresses and assure American Enterprise. MANILA. April 13 tf.n Two United States destroyers were ordered or-dered late tonight to proceed to Davao. on Mindanao Island, in connection with reports that 22 "mysterious'' vessels were anchored an-chored in Davao Bay in the southern south-ern Philippines. It was also revealed that the Philippine army had dispatched three planes to Davao. after the collector of customs there said the. vessels were either destroyers or submarines. He said that one of the ships appeared to be a tender and that the fleet did not show colors nor reply to wireless inquiries. How the ships were identified the collector did not say. Other reports that the vessels had moved today to a position in the mouth of the bay, 60 miles from Davao, and one source- complaint was the lack of suitable boats to go to them to investigate. It was explained that the nearest near-est cutters or airplanes capable of investigation, were at Manila. 600 miles away, and in this connection con-nection on the assumption, for which no basis was cited, that the vessels were warships, presumably Japanese warships it was urged that the "vulnerability" of the southern Philippines had been "accentuated. - Pig T I I !, HOSPITAL BIDS j ) Q fyj py 4 i Bid for Utah Valley hospital construction must be deposited at the chamber of commerce of-1 of-1 fice by 11 a. m..

WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 13 (U.R) President Roosevelt revived depth-of - depression tactics today in swift, vigorous vigor-ous maneuvers to revive business busi-ness with a big lending-spend-ing program. He was almost ready for a test of strength and prestige with Vice President John N. Garner or any other conservative Democrat who would challenge his recovery-relief recovery-relief plans. This second New Deal drive on .depression will be launched tomorrow to-morrow in a message to congress, and bolstered that night with a "fireside chat." The president has taken 45 minutes of radio time for a comprehensive statement on the state of the nation. Generally Favored Odds today favor his project in general outline, but without guarantee guar-antee that congress will, without protest, write a check for $2,750,-000.000 $2,750,-000.000 to be spent during the summer, autumn and winter months. As the political-economic situation situa-tion shapes up on the eve of a new recovery effort, there are three notable differences between the present and' the previous depression. de-pression. The New Deal-Democratic party which snapped bills through at Mr. Roosevelt's bidding in 1933 is divided now and inclined in-clined to bolt the White .House. But business again is far from peak recovery levels. abor, a vociferous bloc of New Dealers and Progressives, and some others clamor for big scale relief spending. spend-ing. The powerful pressure of mayors and other local officials in many back-home communities is exerted for a spending-lending program. Five cabinet officers and two lending-spendlng aides were summoned sum-moned to the White House last night, in a conference reminiscent of 1933. White House Secretary Stephen Early said that there probably would be more conferences. confer-ences. The United Press was informed last night's conferees were "pretty "pret-ty well agreed" on a $1,500,000,000 non-interest bearing loan program to finance a new public works program. pro-gram.
