WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (/I1;
The Social Security Board told
congress today I hat It favored the
liberalization ot unemployment
compensation benefits to Insured

Jobless insurance standards are
fixed by state laws ws part of

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2 —(/p#
— Three is a lot or simllarit/
between a fat man trying to lose
weight and congress seeking to
reduce federal expenditures.
Both are dealing) with big
figures.
The figure that congress Is
v-orklng on is the agriculture de-
partment's annual appropriation
bill, which started out as good-
nes„ knows what.
No rat man Ukes reveal the
top figure at which he lips ihe
scale , It also is hard to find out
the total which the department
originally requested of the bud-
get bureau.
When the budget was submit-
ted to congress, the total was
$788,«,129,511 .
The appropriation committee
— which is going in for reduc-
ing this session — turned on the
heal huffed and puffed, and got
the figure down lo $«:S4,H7-1.-
aBe.
Now the bill is Just like the
fat man with the new figure.
Some nay it still bulges whero
i( shouldn't and looks too thin
where it shouldn't.
Others say the figuro hn
been ruined beyond ropuir.
Still others contend the figure
is becoming.
Just Ilko (ho friends of the
fat muti. others say (he bill can
accomplish inoro and hot tor work
with some of the weight's off.
And others say old Bill works
best al his topmost figure.
Right now the house Is argil
ing over Whether to put back a
few moro dollars in the figuro
or let it go through the next
fiscal year In its present shape.
Friends of the big figure say
it's the same old story — no-
body. or at least only a few, loVos
a fat man, especially in au elec-
tion year.

Meeting Today
MIAMI, Fla„ Feb. 2 — (/P)-~
The America federation of labor
today described Hitler and Sta-

and declared that "as long as
their creed of totalltarianlmn rul*
es In Oermany and Russia tho
peace of the world Is In jeopardy.
The federation's expression
was contained In a statement re-
leased through Its executive
council ln midwinter convention
here. 1 vs
"We know beyond quention
that Na*i Oermany and SovM
Russia are the Imperialistic na-
tions ot Europe," the statement
declared. "It seems inconcc
able that any American
could continue to entertain sym-
pathetic feeling toward the atma
and policies of Naxism and com-
munism."
The federation voted to "ax-
tend our fullest sympathy and
offer every possible assistance
to the victims of racial and reli-
gions persecution In Europe,"
urged the government to — do
everything It can without en-
dangering Amerioan neutrality to
help Finland resist Soviet ag-
gression," and said It repudiate#
"all attempt* to aovletlse Amer-
ican labor and we refuse to have
