"But," he added, "500 more children in Akron should be in our feeding program, and would be if the Chest and other agencies could finance it." Under the direction of health department physicians, children Hre selected according to need, Director Klizabeth Yost of the nursing service said. First to be assigned are children with tuberculosis tendencies. Next come boys and girls who are underweight due to lack of food at home, and finally, children incorrectly fed in their homes.

Paid for breakfasts, luncheons DE YIELD FALLS OFF Increase In Current Collection Fails To Offset Slump By CHARLES EGC.ER Beacen Jeirnal Special Writer COLUMBUS, March 2.

Real estate and public utility property tax collections in Ohio last year were $488,296 less than the previous year, although the yield from the current levy increased $3,649,659. Reason for the drop in the total collection was the inability of the collectors to keep pace with the 1938 rate of delinquent tax collections, the 1939 collection of delinquencies being $4,038,455 less than the year before. In 1935 real estate and public utility property tax delinquencies totaled $130,392,000, from which a collection of $31,810,000 was made. In each of the following years the collection of the former year's delinquencies dropped in general proportion to the total amount of unpaid taxes. Unpaid Taxes At the start of the 1939 collection, the real estate and public utility property tax delinquency amounted to $93,558,274.

From this, $17,198,545 was collected, but because current levy delinquencies aggregated $12,471,014, unpaid taxes at the end of the year amounted to $88,828,743. That proportionate collection of back taxes will decrease in future years is probable, since the better accounts have been liquidated and many accounts are not collectable. Last year's collections on the current levy produce a brighter picture. The current levy charge was $154,790,673, and the yield was $142,319,659. In 1938 the current levy charge was from which a collection of only $138,770,000 was recorded.

Results Last Year Last year's collection result, as well as those reported for the state in the previous four years are shown in the following table: 1037 1M8 1939 Amount charged current lfvy. JM9.324 $152,555 Former year delinquency 113.747 100,150 9.1536 136,073 138.770 143,318 Amount psld current levy Former year delinquency 21,237 17, IDS 163,957 160,007 159,518 Total paid Even though the total collec-1 tion for 1938 was slightly higher! than last year, 1939 may be interpreted as a better collection year. The smaller collection last year can be attributed to the re-, duced yield from delinquent accounts. In 1938, the tabic shows, 1 $21,000,000 was collected from a total real estate and public utility property tax delinquency of 150,000 while in 1939 the collec-: tion was $17,000,000 from a total delinquency of $93,500,000. Most counties showed a gain in their total collection over 1938.

The folowing table shown collec-1 tions for some representative counties the last two years: 1918 1939 Crawford 710,133 707.061 Cuyshoga 44. 814. 090 44 9fl.7l Favette 330, 3R9 335.127 Franklin 7.358.172 7.419,873 Hamilton 19,184 364 17 980 129 Jackson 349.399 258.109 Lawrence 684,053 613.735 Logan 471,807 Meigs 224 451 202 002 Richland 1. 138.572 1 185.957 Bclolo 1 473 856 1.481.722 Summit 8.281.889 8.4.17,988 Ratio of the total collection of real estate and public utility taxes last year to the current assessments was 103.05 per cent, a slight drop from the previous year rate of 104.88. Improvement Shown Settlement sheets at the auditor Of state's office as analyzed by the tax department also reveal that 8.06 per cent of the current levy became delinquent in 1939 as compared with 9.04 in the previous year.

Improvement in tax payments in the last five years may be seen in these percentages, when contrasted with 1935 when 15.98 per cent of the current assessment became delinquent. Last year, 18.38 per cent of former year delinquencies was collected as compared with 21.2 per cent in 1938. All but 12 of the state's 88 counties had a collection rate of 100 per cent or better in 1939, it was reported. Highest rate of 114.27 per cent reported by Geauga county which collected $364,035 although the current levy charges was only $318,588. Lower Collections The 12 counties which had a collection rate of lower than 100 per cent were: Athens, Brown, Coshocton.

Harrison, Holmes, Lake, Meigs, Monroe, Noble, Pickaway, Preble and Vinton counties. Not Included In the real estate and public utility property tax collections above are special assessments, the collection of which is virtually impossible in some sections of the state. Out of a total levy of in 1939, only $16,043,655 was collected, or 17.62 per cent. A major reason for the low i special assessment collection is that in many cases, the property on which improvements were made and assessments levied is no longer worth the amount of the taxes. More than half of the special assessment delinquencies are attributed in Cuyahoga county.

At the state of 1939 the special as sessment total in that county was i $50,782,810, or which but was collected, leaving a delinquency of $42,803,751. The total delinquency for the state was $74,992,458. Professor In Defense Of 'Blue Collar' Job STATE COLLEGE, Pa March 2. (EE) By teaching pupils that "blue collar jobs are Just as honorable and socially worthy as white collar jobs," public schools can forestall many unemployment problems, advises a Penn State college professor. Dr.

F. Theodore Struck, head of Penn State's department of industrial education, points out that at present twice as many public school pupils desire to enter the professions and technical fields as these vocations may reasonably be expected to absorb.

G000-K DAD Bill Batt Introduces You To Harry Hopkins' New Contact Man By WILLIAM PINKERTON AiMcisted Prm Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 2.

This is a story about Bill Batt's dad. The senior Batt is one of those businessmen the smart magazines call "tycoons." He runs one of the larger ball-bearing companies. He belongs to the Union League Club of Philadelphia and he votes republican. But he is also the chief "contact man" between business and the administration. William Batt, is the new chairman of Harry Hopkins' business advisory council.

"You'd hardly call him a New Dealer," explained Bill Batt, "but he's pragmatic. He doesn't think people should scream at each other in the headlines. He thinks they should sit down at a conference table and get together on solving their problems." Bill Supplies Answer We met Bill Batt this way: We went around to the commerce department to get some dope on this new "contact man." We were asking questions, Hopkins' man was leafing through mimeographed biographies and we were getting nowhere. Then Hopkins' man said: "Let's call Bill Batt." After a while a tall, big-boned young man strode into the office. He had a massive Jaw, an expansive smile and heart-warming enthusiasm.

If you have been worrying about "the younger generation," you would enjoy meeting young Bill Batt. As soon as we stated our business, young Bill Batt told us, with emphasis, that his dad was "a fine fellow," and "a grand person" and one of the smartest businessmen that ever came down the pike. Old-Fashioned Family The Batts, it seems, are one of those old-fashioned families "fifteen people around a big dinner table at Christmas time." This ball-bearing tycoon, William Batt, was a small-town Indiana boy. His wife was his college sweetheart at Purdue. They have three girls and two boys all grown nuw and five grandchildren.

Before the children grew up and left home, their house at Montclair, N. was peopled each day with rollicking youngsters of the neighborhood. "Not society in the stuffy sense," a family friend of those days explained, "but all kinds of kids." They were a pretty normal family. Dad made their bobsleds at his workbench. One sister was going to be the first woman president of the United States but she married instead.

When the older boy went to Harvard, the younger one said he couldn't see that place for dust and later he went to Harvard, too. 'Poor Boy Makes Good' The girls are all married now. Bill has seen a lot of the wheels of government go 'round since he left Harvard in 1938. And Bob, the youngest, is still studying history and literature. "Dad?" said Bill Batt, when the introductions were over.

"It's the old story the poor boy who worked hard and made good." When William Batt, was a sophomore at Purdue, his father died. The young student worked in the shops of the Monon railroad to support his mother and sister while he finished his engineering course. Yet his marks were high, and he won the engineers' top honor Tau Beta Pi. When he was graduated in 1907, Dr. W.

F. Goss put him to work in the Purdue research laboratories. Studies Management Ball-bearings still were a new thing when the Hess-Bright people asked Dr. Goss in 1909 to send them a smart young man. Batt took the job of starting a research laboratory for the company.

From the laboratory, he branched out into sales and management until 1919, when the company became part of Swedish-controlled S.K.F. industries and Batt became general manager. The problems of management ana especially the problems of labor relations have always interested Batt. He is a past nrest- dent of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and he is now chairman of the international committee on scientific manage ment. Informed persons credit William Batt with leading the fight in the last convention of the National a.

sociation of Manufacturers to tone down uncompromisingly anti-New ueai resolutions. Moves From New York As Bill Batt explained it, his father disliked the idea of "absentee management" he was opposed to branch factories becoming "pins on the map." Thus, when the depression cut into the business of S. K. Batt seized the opportunity to move the office from downtown New York to a vacant lot next to the North Philadelphia factory. "They built the new office building," young Bill said proudly, "for what one month's rent cost in New York." Identity Numbers Tattooed On British BRISTOL March 2.

(U.E) A leaf that has been green for 25 years was displayed by works progress administration laborers. They found it in the concrete of a bridge abutment being razed south of Norman.

PATTERSON AuMimtcd Prui Stiff Writer MEXICO CITY. March 2. Amidst recurrent rumors of armed rebellion, four generals of the Mexican army today are engaged in the most vigorous presidential campaign that Mexico has witnessed in many years.

The successful candidate will fix the future, course of the controversial revolutionary program set in motion by another army general, President Lazaro Cardenas a program under which government, labor and the peasantry Joined forces against capital, foreign and Mexican. For six years; beginning Dec. 1, 1940, the winner of the July 1 elections will be in a position to determine whether, Mexico shall continue on her present path toward a modified: state socialism or shall swing toward conservatism. Left Versus Right That is the basic issue left versus right. However, a more conservative regime is regarded as certain to emerge from the campaign because all the candidates express less revolutionary programs than Cardenas.

Politcal meetings attended by thousands of citizens in every section testify how deeply the struggle around this issue has stirred Mexico. Spokesmen of the government and of various political factions have asserted publicly that the struggle can be resolved only with bloodshed, not with votes. Reports of preparations for an armed revolution have circulated pesistently. Death riot Reported Several attempts have been re ported on the life of the principal anti-government candidate, Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan.

The federal attorney general has charged formally that asso ciates of another independent aspirant, Gen. Joaquin Amaro, were plotting to overthrow the government The official government candi date, Gen. Manuel Avila Camacho, has been accused of sponsoring assassination attempts against Almazan. Federal senators and deputies have charged Almazan was con spiring with the Catholic church and a United States oil company to rise in arms against the government. Frequent clashes between ad herents of the various factions have produced a heavy quota of dead and wounded.

Almazan Strong Threat Forty-nine-year-old Almazan is the outstanding opposition candidate. A strong-willed, hot-tempered, forceful figure, he has won the support of Mexico's most important independent political parties and of industrial, commercial and business leaders. There have been reports that the other two independent candidates, Amaro and Gen. Rafael Sanchez Tapia, would unite behind Almazan, but thus far they have not done so. Traveling hundreds of miles around the country, everywhere welcomed by thousands of cheering voters, Almazan has come to be regarded as a strong threat to continuance of the present government through the accession to power of Avila Camacho.

Throughout his speeches Almazan has sounded a conserva tive theme. He has called for the industrialization of Mexico with the assistance of proteced investments of American capital. He has attacked radical and totalitarian influences in Mexico, "whether red, brown or black." By implication he has criticized the foreign ou expropriation, tnough the seizure is not an important issue in the campaign. Fought Against Diaz But his basic appeal has been mat statea in this campaign slo. gan, "down with the imposition." mis slogan-elaborated in the candidate's speeches refers to what Almazanistas describe as the Mexican revolutionary party's and labor union's "imposition" on the workers; the collective farming system's "Imposition" on the reas- ants; the government's "imposi tion" through taxation.

exDroDria. tion and supervision on industry, Dusiness and finance; and the schools' "imposition" on the chil dren and the family through com pulsory teaching of socialistic doc trine. The candidate, who foueht'in the rebellion against the dictatorship of r-resiaem rornrio Diaa and helped overthrow President Mrt ro, has assailed as "demaevipio" the leadership of Mexican labor cnici Vincente Lombnrrin Tn. ledanp and urged "full cooperation between labor and capital" in the development of Mexico. Speculate On Revolt In turn.

Toledano hns chnrcH Almazan was the "visible leader of an armed unrisinfr" to over. uirow me Cardenas government and "prevent the election of Gen. Manuel Avila Camacho." Almazan history of participation in Mexico's frequent revolutions and the nation's tradition that governments sometimes change as the result of bullets, rauier man ballots, has given rise to much speculation on whether he would lead an armed revolt against v-aiueiias, a personal rnend. This speculation arises from the fact that Almazan's defeat at the polls, despite the apparently tremendous following he has attracted, is regarded as a foregone conclusion. Government machinery which controls the casting of the ballots and which counts the votes without independent supervision will not fail, Almazan's supporters assert, to return a thumping majority for Avila Camacho, whatever the actual vote may be.

General Almazan in various speeches has said, "I shall know what to do if the imposition thwarts the honest will of the peo-pie." Some of his closest aides have said privately, "we don't expect to win the election, but we shall win the revolution," from parents of youngsters participating in the feeding project pay an estimated per cent of the bill. $30 In Small Coins "Cash from the children's homes conies entirely unsolicited," commented Principal C. B. Snodgrass of Crouse school where 30 boys and girls are fed twice each school day. "The children brought in nickels and dimes during January." Clothing for the neediest of the children is supplied by the Bencon Journal Red Pepper fund.

The check shown in the picture was mailed last week and paid for 11,711 breakfasts and lunches served to the children in January. It is an indication of the economy with which the feeding project is handled. Breakfasts were charged to the Chest at cents, lunches at eight cents. Significant in the low cost is the fact that WPA workers prepare and serve the food. But the check tells only half the story.

Jellison's latest report reveals that 27,179 servings were furnished to 2,466 children with dietary deficiencies during the first two weeks in February. And the program is not confined to children of families on relief.
