mand.*’ ---
Sam Pauline, who, with his fath-
er, Jacob, operates Pauline’s matri-
monial bureau, said refugees have
helped business a lot.
“Just now we’re finishing up a
fine match,’* he said. “He was a bank-
er in Germany and the girl comes
from a fine business family in
York.”
Marriage brokers get a down
ment of about $5 or $10 and
a commission on doweries or a flat
sum on consummaton of the court-
ships for which they are responsible.
Washington, March 10,.—President
Roosevelt clearly indicated today a
belief congress made a mistake in
whittling $150,000,000 from his Jan-
uary request for $875,000,000 of re-
lief money.
The chief executive told his press
conference his original WPA esti-
mates still held good. But he would
not say whether he would insist upon
an additional $150,000,000 appropria-
tion in a special message on relief
needs he will send to congress next
week.
Representative Woodrum (D-Va)
and Senator Adams (D-Col), mem-
bers of subcommittees which handle
relief appropriations, predicted the
full $150,000,600 would be requested.
In another development bearing on
business, the securities commission
modified its rules governing short
selling on securities exchanges to
“provide great freedom of market
action.” Up to now, a security could
be sold short only at a price higher
than the last sale price. The new
rules allow sales at the same figure
as the late transaction, provided that
figure “was higher than the last dif-
ferent price which preceded it.”
Meantime, a suggestion came from
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) that
the administration’s efforts to encour-
age business be broadened to in-
clude abandonment of scheduled in-
creases in social security taxes.
“The greatest single tax aid which
can feature a real ‘business appease-
ment program is my proposal to
freeze payroll taxes for old age pen-
sions under the Social Security act,"
he said in a statement.
The tax now is two per cent, borne
equally by employers and empolyees.
It is scheduled to increase to three
per cent next year and to reach aix
per cent by 1948.
At his press conference, Mr. Roose-
velt said about 850,000 persons are
on WPA waiting lists, or about 100,-
000 more than were listed Jan. 1.
By July 1, he said, the total on WPA
rolls or WPA waiting lists should
be about 3,350,000.
A senace unemployment committee
concluded hearings today on a bill by
Chairman Byrnes (D-SC) to set up
a permanent federal relief system
administered in part by a new de-
partment of public works.
New York, March 10.—Immigration
authorities said Tuesday that an un-
precedented demand for citizenship,
caused by conditions abroad and so-
cial' security over here, has clog-
ged naturalization machinery as nev-
er before in the history of Ellis Is-
land and it is booming the busi-
ness of marriage brokers.
The latter said the tremendous de-
mand for entry into the United States
has brought requests from Germany
for American husbands and wives of
any description—to avoid long waits
for admission under quotas, which
are filled for many months to come.
“Some very eligible and handsome
young bachelors in Berlin and Vienna
has written me to find American wives
for them,” related Mrs. Grace Bowes,
who operates a marriage brokerage
called the American Service,.
“More than half of them are broke
and will marry virtually anybody we
can produce who can bring them here.
The rest of them will seriously con-
sider marrying anyone who can vouch

Bringing to California’s pioneer
mother lode country a faithful re-
production of the towns that the
Forty Niners left behind them in
Maryland and Virginia, a motion
picture company of 140, headed by
Robert Taylor, Florence Rice and
Director W. S. Van Dyke II entrain-
ed from Glendale, Calif,, for loca-
tion work at Butte' Meadows, on the
west side of the Sierras.
They were preceded two days pre-
viously by Wallace Beery, co-star of
the picture, who piloted his own plane
to the Chico airport, Chico being
the headquarters for the “Stand Up
and Fight” troupe.
The Sierras doubled for the Alle-
ghenies in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s
adaptation of Forbes Parkhill’s novel
of the rivalry between the early rail-
road and-stage coach lines, with Butte
Meadows the site of the reconstruct-
ed town of Frostburg. The film opens
Sunday at the Leroy Theatre.
In addition to Beery, Taylor and
Miss Rice, a group of forty-six ac-
tors were included in the location
company. Dick Rosson headed a sec-
ond unit filming simultaneously with
Van Dyke’s. The remainder of the
crew was divided as follows: Van
Dyke’s secretary, unit manager Frank
Messenger, two script clerks, three
assistant directors, thirteen motion
picture and still cameramen, four
- prop men, nine grips, six electricians,
seven make-up men and women, five
wardrobe women, a doctor, two maids,
three drivers, three construction men,
two painters, two plasterers, three
set dressers, an art director, a horse
trainer and two accountants.
Boston, Mass., March 10.—9 trans-
port plane carrying ten passengers
streaked nonstop at 250 miles an
hour through the substratosphere from
Misseapolis to Boston Friday in a
demonstration of oxygen masks re-
cently designed to make such high-
speed flights feasible. ~
The plane flew at an average height
of 20,000 feet and its two pilots
said everything was just perfect.
One third of the flight was made
at 23,000 feet. The 1,100-mile trip
required four hours and ten minutes.
The flight was made to show that
streamlined oxygen masks developed
by Mayo Foundation doctors are prac-
tical for long-distance express trips
in their air where favorable winds
and fair weather prevail
In Boston, the mask, which resem-
bles a football nose-guard and gives
the wearer use of his mouth, will be
demonstrated before scientists, mili-
tary surgeons and airlines executives.
Mai Freeburg, chief pilot, said he
could fly no higher than 23,000 feet,
instead of the contemplated 30,000, be-
cause of strong winds.
The flight was the first of its kind.
The passengers included one woman,
Mrs. Freebufg.
The passengers, wearing masks
which look like football players’ nose-
guards with bulb attached, said they
were completely comfortable as they
ate a chicken dinner, drank and talk-
ed.
The four-ounce rubber masks, small
enough to be tucked into a handbag,
were attached to oxygen feedlines.
The wearer breathed the oxygen thru
his nose. Carbon dioxide was exhaled
into a bladder-like rubber bulb fas-
tened below the mask. Whbn the wear-
er next inhaled, a quantity of carbon
dioxide was returned to the lungs
thus stimulating deep breathing, ex-
plained Dr. R. W. Lovelace, one of
the three scientists who designed
the mask.
for their admission into the country,
and they offer to pay their own pas-
sage to boot.”
More than 60,000 applications for
certificates of arrival, an essential
document for declarations of -citizen-
ship intention, are on file for New
York City alone. An addition 25,925
applications for second papers for
New Yorkers have made action on
citizenship petitions — ordinarily a
matter of a few days’ procedure—im-
possible for seven or eight months,
at least.
Immigration authorities said simi-
lar conditions prevail in other ports
of entry. The citizenship authorities
have been so busy on the landslide
of petitions that they have been un-
able to assign investigators to more
than 1,500 of the current 4,500 com-
plaints involving possible deportation.
Persecution, one official said, is only
one of two major reasons for the
rush for citizenship.
“Heretofore,” he said, “citizenship
evidently was not considered of much
moment by most of these present ap-
plicants. But now the alien finds he

Austin, March 10.—Reaching the
half way point of the 120-day gen-
eral session, each branch of the leg-
islature today passed to the other
important measures.
The senate, apparently bent on an
economy move, sent to the house a
bill abolishing the office of the state
reclamation engineer and merging his
duties with the general land office
at an estimated saving of $25,000 an-
nually.
From the house to the senate went
a soil conservation bill tagged with
amendments sponsors claimed would
jeopardize federal financial aid for
a soil saving program.
Other highlights:
Senate adjournment
nipped attempts to kill
izing the governor to
get director, a function now
with the board of control
The senate sent to the house a
resolution gently reprimanding local
peace '•officers for discourtesy in ar-
resting non-resident motorists for
minor infractions of traffic regula-
tions. — ,
The house broadened authority of
an investigating committee so that
it may determine whether or not
board members and employes of the
cosmetology department have per-
formed their duties in accordance
with the law.
Abolition of the reclamation engi-
neer’s department was the second
similar move in the senate which re-
cently eliminated the office of state
tax commissioner, combining it with
the comptroller’s department. The
house quickly approved the first bill
and Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel signed it.
Sponsors of the second economy
measure said they anticipated little
if any difficulty in passing it. R. J.
McMahon, state reclamation engineer,
favored the move, Senator Morris
Rozerts of Pettus, the author, said-
Before adjournment, proponents of
the budget director bill managed by
slim majorities to beat off attempts
to kill it. It was pending buisness
when the upper chamber quit for
the week end. . ’
A full membership was not present
and opponents evidently attempted to
press what they believed to be an
advantage.
It is a proposal of Senator George
Moffett of Chillicothe who argued
budget making properly belongs to
the executive department.
Active in the fight against the bill
which has been on the floor several
times was Senator Joe Hill of Hen-
derson, who asked Moffett if he had
heard of. a “trade” in connection with
it.
“If there is a trade, I’m not in on
it,” Moffett replied.
The senate met the 60-day dead-
line for introducing bills, except by
four-fifths of the membership, with
a mass of proposed legislation.
It included a new approach to
vexing problem of load limits
commercial trucks.
By Senator Wilbourne Collie of
Eastland, the new bill would lift the
7,000-pound maximum limit for per-
ishable fruits and vegetables during
the height of the Rio Grande valley
and winter gardening producing sea-
sons, or through April 1 this year
