Half Of Penna. fs Entire Budget Will Be Spent For Relief Work Anti-church activities, th Minis, try of Justice said, "aid the enemy" because they "provoke disorder within the republic." The Rev.

It's done by from five to twenty couples arranged in a circle who "truck right and "kick high" and perform other gyrations at the direction of the leader. It ends with a loud, "Praise It all originated in the Big Apple club. Students from the University of South Caro. lina found it there, took it to the campus and it became the rage. Now it's getting so dance halls are having to hang out signs like the one at right.

Here's the story of the Big Apple: VALENCIA, Aug, 12. P) The Spanish central government issued a decree today making it an offense to molest a priest of any religion in the administration of a sacrament. The decision followed authorization August 7, of resumption of "private religious service" in Spain. It condemned filing of charges against priests except where they are "guilty of a crime calling for legal action." MTD HOSTS NOTICE (GAS Business as Usual C. J.

He's 350-pound Elliott Wright, manager of the Apple club. Here's the birthplace of the Big Apple dance a one-time synagogue on Gates street, Columbia, S. C. The stained glass windows inside, like this exterior, are covered with beer signs.

Smart Fall HARRISBURG, Aug. 13. P) The man who will spend of the taxpayers' money in the next two years to aid Pennsylvania's unfortunates sat back at his desk today and viewed "this relief busi-ness" as a permanent fixture of government. Karl de Schweimtz, who has spent years social service worn, wui direct distribution of nearly one-half of the state's entire budget to the unemployed, the aged, the blind and dependent children. The state budget is $338,500,000.

He is head of the new Department of Public Assistance, which the 1937 Legislature created to consolidate all forms of relief under one cabinet officer. De Schweinitz thinks the stale's nearly half million unemployed eventually will be reduced to a minimum, but his department still will have the job of administering help to the aged, the blind and the dependent children. "Those things will be with us always and that's why the state felt the need of a permanent organization such as we are building. Wre'U never be entirely without unemployment either we never were." "The ranks of the jobless were caused by a simple fundamental. Developing changes reduced the need for man power, faster than industries or new inventions created the need for it.

I think some day we'll come back to the balance." Another factor in the creation of jobless ranks de Schweinitz thinks, is the increasing age span of life in this country. "People are living longer and hence there are employables. "But the attitude of the public has changed tremendously in the past 10 years. No longer are we willing to stand by and see people do without the necessities. There is a more humane trend of thought This was what started relief and assistance on a long term basis.

We have come to believe that there ought to be a level below which no one should have to go. "Our new department is built around that idea, and on January 1 the state will take over total financial responsibility for unemployment relief and all forms of assistance." Consolidation of relief administration in one board for each county will not reduce the number of people on the state payroll, de Schweinitz emphasized, "We'll have one board now where there were three the poor board, the mothers' assistance and the local emergency relief. One visitor to check cases where we had three. Yet there will be no reduction in the number of visitors simply because we never had enough of them. There were waiting lists a mile long.

In the past few months we have cleared the lists. Some people had to wait two years to be investigated for pensions or assistance." These investigations are done on a scientific basis, said W. E. Solen-berger, who is the research and statistics ace of the department. The state studies living costs in all localities, makes up surveys and of course the biggest problem is to determine how much to give each applicant whether he wants unemployment relief or is entitled to old age benefits, blind pensions, etc.

There is no duplication, Solenber-ger explained. A person gets one type of assistance or another and never both, unless on a supplemental basis because one type isn't adequate, There are certain maximum payments in each type of assistance. "But bear in mind they are maxi Action Reported to Have Been Taken on Recommendation of Naval Commander. TOKYO, Aug. 13 (Friday) Of) The Japanese government, following a special meeting of the cabinet, was understood today to be rushing further naval, military and air reinforcements to Shanghai.

The action was reported to have been taken on the recommendation of Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander in chief of the Japanese third fleet in Chinese waters. The Domei (Japanese) news agency said Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye declared it may be necessary to reconvoke the diet (parliament) to seek further war funds for the conflict. Emperor Hirohito conferred with Vice Admiral Prince Hiroyasu Fu-ohimi, chief of naval staff, concerning the situation in Shanghai and before the cabinet's meeting War Minister General Gen Sugiyama held a council with his associates. The reported kidnaping of a Japanese gendarme and an interpreter by Chinese in Shanghai threw the Japanese into a new state of indignation. WILL BE YOUNGEST (Continued From Page One.) smile that others have learned to watch his cigar for a clue.

When he's about to nail a point he shifts that cigar to a tightly clenched position in the corner of his mouth. And Black is famous for nailing points. He's conducted two of the most dramatic Senate investigations in recent years; the one that looked into ocean and air-mail contracts, and the lobby investigation, Black has had to wait for several of his favorite legislative horses to hit the home-stretch. He began pestering Congress in 1925 about Muscle Shoals, but it wasn't until 1933 that the TVA Act became law. Five years ago Black wanted a 30-hour week in industry.

NRA partly satisfied his desire for limited working hours. But the court killed NRA. So Black re-wrote his bill into the wages-and-hours measure that is just now nearing final action in Congress. As for his other views, Black "can't see anything glamorous in war," although he's worn an officer's puttees. He expresses strong belief jn the ultimate wisdom of the Voters, "All we need for good laws," he Says, "is an informed public." His speeches echo his belief.

They're devoid of the flowery rhe-toriB for which southern congressmen have been famous. He's one of the few who pulled tiff their gloves when the Supreme Court killed the AAA. He was stopped in a capitol corridor for an opinion that day. His black eyes snapped and his thin mouth pulled into a straight line. "It, means," he said, "that people are ruled by five men." He gave a brief talk on federal and state responsibility, and then excused himself for a luncheon conference.

Ten minutes later he walked Across capitol plaza with pretty, young-looking Mrs. Black laughing on his arm. His two schoolboy sons were "conferring" at his side about new slacks, and the baby, Mary Josephine, had a deal on for ice cream. Papa Black lost.

The individual entitled to old age assistance may get up to $30 a month. They must have lived in Pennsylvania five of the past nine years. The mothers' assistance fund Idea has been given more scope under the new law. Heretofore only those do-pendent children whose fathers were in insane asylums received aid.

Now any children under 16 who have lost paternal help through desertion, In sanity or any other cause may bo assisted with state funds. Now the aid to mothers with dependent children is split up by the county, the stale and the federal government on a one-third each basis, Under the new plan two-thirds of the cost will be borne by the state and the remainder by the federal government. The blind, like the aged, can get up to $30 a month, but in their cases, they are allowed $840 a year private income in addition to the pension. In other words, DeSchwelnitz said, the officials figure the blind need $1,200 a year to live even though the state and federal government can afford only $360 a year. The state and the nation split the cost of old age and blind assistance.

The state now is caring for 444,660 jobless, 90,000 aged, 40,000 dependent children and 10,460 blind. Army Planes and Motorized Infantry Used in North- eastern Syria. BEIRUT, Syria, Aug. 12. (if) French army planes and motorized infantry dispersed concentrations of rebellious Kurds at several points in Northeastern Syria today in an effort to end more than a month of disorders.

The Kurds were driven from villages where they were blamed for numerous killings and other disorders.

From Moscow to Oakland is approximately 6,000 miles directly, but it was estimated the newest journey would add several hundred miles to the direct route by virtue of swinging westward to Fairbanks. Vartanian said the plane would follow the 148th meridan from the Pole to Fairbanks, where an excited population of 2,000 expected to greet the airmen. The transpolar air trail has been blazed before this season, first in a non-stop flight from Moscow to Vancouver, and later in a record-breaking journey from the Russian capital to San Jacinto, Calif.

Centuries old structures were wrecked as the Japanese artillery scored several direct hits on the ancient fortifications at the mouth of the pass. Headquarters of the artillery were forced to withdraw a quarter of a mile by the answering Chinese fire, which was ineffective otherwise. Japanese asserted Chinese losses were heavy and officially denied they suffered any casualties.
