More than 600,000 people could bo housed tit once In this vast underground cellar which the national air defense eomptission took over some time ago. The main difficulty lies in building sufficient entrances?there is at present only one?large enough for Hie populaton to bolt underground in numbers like rabbits at a given signal * The scheme in hand provides for the pierc ing of new entrances - like those of the underground railway sta! t ions-at strategic- centers of the city. For years these quarries from which [the stones that went to build the J greater part of old Paris, including tin Cathedral of iNotre Came, were cut, were left untouched save for periodic visits by engineers watching for fissures which might endanger i buildings above. Only a small part?about throeciuarters of a miles near the entrance has been known to the general public: lis the "catacombs." Here, the hones of ti.ooo.nou people taken iront old cemeteries and excavated during building work, have been stacked in rows along the sides of the quarry t unnels.

('resident Hooosevelt plainly indicated, in his relief budget message, tout he thinks the end of federal relief is in sight at the present time. "Only if industry tails t<> reduce substantially the number of those now out of work, will another appropriation and further plans and policies la* necessary," he told congress. Declaring that about $1 .GU0.0U0.0U0 would be available from existing relief funds to add to the $1,500,000,000 he requested, tin* President presented this picture of the present relief situation: 5,300,000 families and unattached persons are in need of public assistance, with 3.8O0.000 on the WI'A program and 1,500,000 on local and state rolls. Mr. Roosevelt estimated relief expenditures during the current fiscal year at about $3,500,000,000. "The ultimate cost of the federal works program," lie added', "will be determined by private enterprise. Federal assistance which arose as the result of industrial unemployment can he terminated if industry itself removes the underlying conditions. It is the task of industry to make furtli- j er efforts toward increased output and employment, and 1 urge industry to accept this responsibility. I offer, in aid of solution of this problem* the co-operation of all the appropriate departments and agencies of the federal government." The city of Oklahoma is protesting | vigorously against the state of Oklahoma developing oil well prospects on 70 acres of land owned by the state, and in close proximity to the city.
