President William Green of the American Federation of Labor takes the AFL's demand for restoration of the prevailing waye for skilled WPA workers to President Roosevelt today. Green heads a delegation of Federation, officials which was scheduled to confer with the President at noon in an effort to persuade him to recant his support of the security wage substituted by Congress for the prevailing pay scale. They seek enactment of pending legislation to restore the prevailing wage.

The Federation and other or- ganised labor groups, including the rival Congress of Industrial Organisations, contends that abandonment of the prevailing wage will force down pay scales in private industry. Under the prevailing wage, skilled WPA workers were paid amounts comparable to those received by privately-employed labor. Congress eliminated that system in favor of the security wage wliich requires workers lo put in I'M hours a month lor the same pay they were formerly received for us little as 55 hours.

Brown regarding the funds which will be available in Calhoun county lor medical treatment of afflicted and crippled children since the 1939 legislature enrolled act No. 162. Mr. Brown stated that the total amount available to afflicted children in this county during the fiscal of 1939-40 would amount to $8,298.39 and the monthly allotment must not exceed $691.53. The amount allotted for crippled children in Calhoun during the fiscal year of 1939-40 totals $4,979.47, and the monthly allotment must not exceed $414.96.

If the allotments exceed those provided by the legislature, the county is liable for hospitalization bills. Power Limited Act No. 162 has limited the probate court considerably in the administration of hospitalization service for both the afflicted and crippled children. The act provides that the Michigan Crippled Childrens' Commission divide the appropriated money among the several counties in the state, arid any expenditure within the county which exceeds its appropriation must be paid by the county. This means that only the worst of what have been considered emergency cases can in the future be approved.

In the fiscal year of 1937-38, a total amount of $39,130.49 was spent in Calhoun county in the handling of 456 cases of attllcted children and during the same period Calhoun county spent $20,880.88 for hospitalization in the 151 cases (Concluded on 5, Coiunui nate Committee Has Proposal to Impose Embargoes on Japan WASHINGTON, D.
