Federal Administration men said, will reduce the outlays that have been costing Federal, state and local as high as $190,000,000 a month. They expressed the hope private industry would also be able to absorb more workers. If this happens on a sufficient scale, It Is it will enable the government to spend less on the hugh work relief program which President Roosevelt willing. Standards Ralaed FERA'8 figures showed 4,603,000 families receiving relief in January. Although this represented an almost steady increase since last May, Indications were there was a slight decline In February.

In December. 1934, the average monthly benefit for each family was as compared with $26.39 in October, $24.10 In September, $18.22 in November, 1933, and $16.69 in May, 1933. Some allowances must be made, however, between the warm and cold month figures for heavier clothing, fuel, etc. A large amount of the total In- cerased relief costs, officials said, can be laid directly to this definite policy of raising the standards of relief, providing more adequate medical care, and larger grants to meet higher food and rent costs. Praise, Criticise Every day FBRA receives 700 to 1000 letters from people on relief praising, some criticis- ing.

Many of these letters are sent directly to the White House and forwarded to FBRA. Monthly made to those on relief vary widely among the states. Figures for last October show that $48.71 was being paid in New York state as compared with $8.98 In Tennessee. Generally the lower payments were in the South where the warmer climates made less heavy clothing necessary. The highest benefits were given in the New England and Rocky Mountain states.

Maine gave $39.97, for Instance, and Nevada $40.48. Grains Recover Fraction of Loss Ballots to Party Members Asking Suggestions SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 19, The Illinois Republican Editorial Association, through president, H. U. Ballfiy of Princeton, and Secretary H. L.

Williamson of Springfield, today conducted a state-wide poll to find "the best available candidates for 1936 to lead the Republican party to victory." Quantities of ballots have been mailed out to Illinois Republicans asking them to designate their choice for: President, Vice President, Senator. Congressman At Large, District Congressmen, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of Public Accounts, State Treasurer, and Attorney General, Both Bailey and Williamson have been prominent In state Republican circles for years. Bailey, a Princeton editor, served as director of the Department of Trade and Commerce under former Governor Small and Williamson served as Superintendent of Printing under number of Republican governors. In the letter accompanying the ballot it is stated: "We are of the.opinion that the candidates should be chosen from all branches of the party and from all sections of the state. We made big headway at the last election and now have a majority of the county officers of the state.

This is the foundation of the party and a special effort should be made to elect strong officers In township, village, city, dlstrjct, and state, at all elections," The letter then states: "We are not interested In any faction of the party, but we are nterested in the success of the and if we work together, here la no question about success. The Republican party will cease being the minority party as soon as we can all unite on good candidates. The communication was signed by Bailey and Williamson as officials of the Illinois Republican Editorial Association.

A positive refusal was the federal government's answer to the House proposals that the Illinois Emergency Relief Commission either be abolished or stripped of its administrative power. That apparently ended any hope of making a drastic change to the system under which some $12,000,000 of federal and state funds are being spent for the relief of the unemployed in the state. As members of the legislature returned to the state house, the main question concerned the long disregarded bills to increase the gas and sales taxes one cent and expand the sales tax, raising some 145,000,000 a year in additional revenue. Opposed to Abolition, The House last week sent to the Federal Emergency Relief Administration copies of two bills it has been by Lottie Holman O'Neill abolishing the commission and assigning the distribution of relief to locally elected officials and the other, by Richard Lyons and James Burns, curtailing the commission's asked if either would be satisfactory to the United States officials. Aubrey Williams, assistant to Harry L.

Hopkins, federal administrator, announced, after studying the bills, that he was opposed to the proposed abolition or reduction in the commission's authority and that he could say for his superior that the bills "would not meet with his approval." Legislators Hunt Own Share. This answer, when officially communicated to the Assembly, will put the legislature right back where It that the atmosphere will cleared. have been somewhat Apparently the stand taken by Williams will preclude any serious istratlon in the state. trlbutlon.

This assertion was made by Brlen tfcMahon, special assistant attor- ey general, in his opening statement in the federal court trial of Chase for the murder of Cowley.

McMahon's account of the bloody Battle of Barringtori," in which Cowley, Hollis and Nelson were mortally wounded last November 7, gave a sensational turn to the overnment's case against the young San Francisco ex-bootlegger. Just prior to the encounter, McMahon told a Jury in the court of ustlce Philip L. Sullivan, Nelson nd Chase had been in a running Jrattle with federal agents McDade nd Ryan, with the latter In full light. The government's story of the vents was intended to upset both major claims of defense counsel- hat the federal agents were shot in defense, and were not in pur- uit of their duty at the time.

"They finally pulled up alongside of Ryan and McDade, honked ther horn, and both Chase and Glllis yelled: 'Pull Open Fire, on Pursuers "Chase, who was sitting alone in the back set, had trained on Agents Hyan and MoDade a 20-shotrepeat- ng rifle. For some little distance cars proceeded side by side. "Agents McDade and Ryan, having Inferior weapons and being covered, attempted to draw away. They iad gotten a short distance in front of the Nelson car 1 when Chase opened fire through the windshield of Nelson's oar. Agent Ryan finally returned the fire.

"Both cars were now proceeding toward Chicago about 75 miles an hour and keeping up a running zunflre. At this point agents Hillis and Cowley passed, and seeing what was happening, turned and overtook Nelson's car. Chase opened fire at Hillls and Cowley." When the Nelson car reachet Barrington, McMahon said, Nelson and Chase Jumped from their car and opened a steady stream of fire on the car containing Cowley and Hollis. In a violent gun battle, he said, Oowley and Hollis were mortally wounded, whereupon Nelson got in their car, followed by his wife and Chase. The defense waived Its opening statement.

Order Grand Jury Ohio Relief Quiz COLUMBUS, March 19, A grand Jury investigation of Federal Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins' charges that Governor Martin L. Davey's campaign committee solicited funds from firms selling goods to the Ohio Relief Commission was ordered today. Affidavits supporting Hopkins assertion that-he had "incontrovertible evidence" to back up his charge of a "Showdown" were received by Attorney General John W.
