(From Page One) 000,000 to operate the WPA and other federal relief agencies next year, but asked nothing for a new public works program. The 1938 PWA program still is providing work and will continue to do so until next spring.

The Byrnes committee received testimony that the total cost of relief, public assistance, federal work programs, and emergency public works from 1933 to 1937, inclusive, was $19,303.000,000. Of this amount, the committee was informed, the federal government provided $14,219,000,000 and state and local governments $5,085,000,000. Committee statisticians have not brought these figures up to date, but recent reports by the Social Security Board give an idea of the share of relief costs now being borne by the different governments. The board reported that public assistance payments and earnings of persons employed on federal works programs totaled $3,487.420.000 in J938. (This figure does not include the cost of administration, materials or equipment.) During the year the stata and local governments spent $477,483.000 for general or direct relief, a field which the federal government has turned over to them almost entirely.

WPA projects cost $2,316,489,058, of which the federal government put up $1,882,274,608 and local sponsors $434,214,450. PWA allotted $665,464,591 in grants and $58,430,883 in loans for non-federal works projects costing a total of $1,477,995,426. Local sponsors financed the remainder of the cost. For assistance to the needy aged, the federal and state governments matched dollars on a 50-50 basis to provide a total of $390,852,973. Aid to dependent children accounted for $93,564,931, of which the federal government provided approximately $31,188,310 and the states $62,376,620.

The amount provided for aid to the blind was $10,981,469, half by the federal government and half by the states.

AMUSEMENTS NOW PLAYING Raye and Bob Hope in Say with Andy Devine. Popular Screen Comics In Mirth-Provoking Farce Comedy Playing together for the fourth time in little more than a year, Bob Hope and Martha Raye return to the screen in a frivolous film farce, Say which is playing today at the Princess theatre. Bob is cast as a nervous wreck of a millionaire who enjoys poor Martha, as a girl who in escaping from two suitors finds a husband where she least expects one. The screenplay of Say was written by a trio of crack scenarists at Paramount: Don Hartman, Frank Butler and Preston Sturges, and based on the highly successful play by William H. Post.

It plots the experiences of a rich hypochondriac who thinks he has only a month to live and decides to make it a comfortable one. When Hope and Miss Raye meet at an Alpine spa, they realize immediately how much they have in common. For while Hope is being menaced by a much- married widow, Gale Sondergaard, who is crazy about his money, Martha is being forced by her father to marry a Russian prince, Alan Mowbray, even though her heart belongs to the boy back home, Andy Devine. Such a if not made in still a match, and the two get married, disguised as peasants. The Hope-Raye wedding trip is in keeping with the general mad mood of the picture.

Devine, arriving unexpectedly to claim Miss Raye as his bride, does the next best thing and joins the couple on their Alpine honeymoon! Three on a honeymoon is fun under any conditions, but with Hope, Raye and Devine as the chief participants, the riot can only be imagined! The climax comes with the arrival of father, Miss Sondergaard and Mowbray, all determined to impose their wills of the young couple. After untangling the romantic mixup, Hope fights a burlesque pistol duel with Mowbray, who maintains his honor has been wounded. Tokyo, May 2 (JP series of short, sharp earthquakes and ensuing fire and floods took at least 19 lives and destroyed or damaged approximately 1,000 homes in villages 300 miles north of here Monday, a preliminary check showed today. Police, in a communique, said nine houses of the village of Aikawa were swallowed by the sea, altering previous reports that the whole village of 70 homes was destroyed. The shocks said by seismologists to have been the strongest to hit northern Japan in 25 years, broke water mains and left firemen powerless to combat flames which broke out in numerous towns and villages.

The banks oi collapsed above Funakawa, port city, spilling millions of gallons of water. Seven homes were reported engulfed. More than 30 tremblors at three minute intervals sent thousands of persons 60,000 from the city of Akita alone into flight for the safety of open spaces. A gigantic submarine cave-in within less than a mile of Oga peninsula was believed to have caused the shocks. Fragmentary reports said spectacular changes were wrought in the contours of the Akita prefecture coastline, particularly around the peninsula.

Whole sections of hills rimming the sea were said to have disappeared into the ocean, after which great waves rolled in on the new shoreline. Inland terrain in some places sank as much as three feet and, long after the severest shocks, underground rumblings were still audible. Crevasses of from a few inches to five feet split the surface. Four-H club work began in 1914 and since then has been a factor in training approximately 7,500,000 farm boys and girls.
