Cost of Living In Europe Higher Than in America, Labor Survey Discloses
NEW YORK, Jan. 3—(UP)—Statistical evidence that the working classes of the United States fare much better than corresponding wage-earners of Europe is contained in a report of the International Labor office of the League of Nations, made J‘public in New York today.
The report la based on a comprehensive survey by the labor offlce with money supplied by the
FLOODS IMPERIL VALLEY TOWNS OF MISSISSIPPI
Attempt To Dynamite Levees
Thwarted; Thousands Already Homeless.
SUMNER, Miss., Jan. 3—(I P) —The flood waters of the Tallahatchie river and its tributaries continued to rise steadily tonight despite efforts of several thousand men.including 1,000 convlctB, to crub them.
An added guard had been placed on levees in the Tallahatchie valley after new threats were made to dynamite the dikes and release the pent-up waters to flood thousands of acres of farm land.
At Grassy Lake guards found 12 sticks of dynamite along the levee. Simijar dynamite threats were reported in three widely separated places along the 100-mile overflow district.
Levee breaks were expected momentarily at many points and several thousand persons were prepared to evacuate.
Appeals for medical supplies and tents have been made to national Red Cross officials and to Maj. Gen. Frank McCoy, commander of the fourth corps area, at Atlanta. The food supply was rapidly diminishing and there was a reported shortage of drinking water.
Webb, 10 miles south of here, reported that 200 negro refugees were living in freight cars, and that more were being brought there in boats.
OIL COMPANIES TO
Twentieth Century Fund of New York.
It is a statistical study of the cost of living in 14 European cities, as compared with that of minimum wage employes of the Ford Motor company at Detroit.
LIVING HIGH
The cost of living in Europe ls surprisfngingly high In view of the fact that wages, when compared with the Detroit group, are so low. Taking Detroit as 100, for a standard, the survev found the following figures to obtain in European cities:
Berlin—83 to 90.
Frankfurt—85 to 93.
Copenhagen—83 to 91.
Stockholm—99 to 101.
Helsingfors—83.
Parts—80 to £7.
Marseilles—75 to 81.
Antwerp—61 to 65.
Rotterdam—65 to 6*.
Manchester—70 to 71.
Cork—85.
Warsaw—67.
Barcelona—58.
Istanbul—65.
To compare clothing prices, samples of clolhing bought In Detroit were sent to the 14 cities and comparison made of prices. Though a difference of local customs arose again here, lt was inferred that American women may obtain stylishly-cut dresses at lower prices than the European woman of small means. It was difficult to malch children's clothing sent from America to Europe because the clothing of most continental workmen's children is made at home.
NO BATHROOM
The predominating type of home used by Detroit workers is equipped with a bathroom, whereas European homes of the same type

FISCAL BILLS UPFORACTION IN CONGRESS
Tariff, Farm Loans, Tax Increase. To Occupy Legislative Attention.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3—(UP) — Congress returns tomorrow facing a maze of economic and political Issues with the degression furnishing tbe hazards and the 1932 election the goal. The session will convene at least until June.
The end of the two-week congressional recess finds leaders with fairly definite paths of action charted.
1.	The Democratic House chi6f-tains have given right-of-way to a moderate tariff bill which does not afTect Hawley-Smoot rates directly.
ECONOMIC BILL
2.	Then will come the $2,000,-000 reconstruction finance corporation bill, center of the Hoover economic program, with indications that the House Democrats will make several changes.
3.	Writing of a Democratic tax Increase blll. much more moderate than the *920,000,000 Mellou-Hoov-er-Mllls plan, will be started by the Ways and Means committee.
IMPORTANT MEASURES
Travel By Air Is Cheaper Traffic Experts Find
NEW YORK, Jan. 3—(UP)— Traffic expert*, after a study of more than 4,000 cases, have found that air travel, although it costs a little more than railroad travel, is cheaper in the long run. In other words, traveling men can save enough on their salaries and living expenses to more than offset a slight increase in transportation cost. In many cases thc net saving amounts to 20 per cent or more.
These figures can be mathematically demonstrated in planning many business trips over a fairly wide area. As a result, a bureau, known as the Business Travel Planning service, -which does nothing but plot commercial trips for business men, has been established.

Solons Plan To Float New Bond Issue To Save City..
CHICAGO, Jan. 3—(l'P)— Chicago's legislators have decided that the sea of red Ink which has swept their home Into bankruptcy must b« mada deeper by hundreds of millions of dollars before America's second largest city can emerge again upon the shoals of solvency.
So vast 1s the morass of debts facing Cook county (Chicago) that lt best can bn summed up by saying the municipal governments owe almost $650,000,000, with hardly a cent in their treasuries to pay.
The only way out consists of tbe selling of $338,000,000 more In bonds to fund uncounted taxes from 1928 and 1929 and all the taxes from 1930, the harried lawmakers have decided.
If they can sell the bonds, they hope then to reorganize the tax collecting machinery so that In 20 years the city's debts will hsve been settled.
Critics of the scheme call it the taking of a second dose of poison by a dying man, the multi-million-dollar weight of straw which will pulverize the camel's back.
Be that as it may, bonds are being defaulted by the millions of dollars, all city employees, including school teachers, police and firemen, are going salaryless, and Chicago, according to Mayor Anton J. Cermak, fast Is approaching the greatest emergency ever to face an American city.
The Chicago delegation to the general assembly must take its bond selling plan and tax reorganization scheme to the hostile legislature at Springfli«ld tomorrow for ratification. If that Is obtained, the bonds must be sold, somehow, somewhere.
The city’s shaky flnancial structure has attracted such wide publicity, that investors everywhere are chary of purchasing securities of the "I Will" city. For the last five months the city has been trying to peddle previous bond issues. without even a nibble, despite exceedingly* attractive discounts.

GANDHI HELD BY BRITISH ON CAMPAIGN EVE
Mahatma Calls For Continued Civi! Disobedience.
BOMBAY, Jan. 4.—(UP)—British authorities dramatically raided the headquarters of Mahatma M. K. Gandhi in the darkness of early morning today, and placed th* little revolutionary leader under arrest.
Their artion, eoming as a surprise move, was expected to unleash thc full force of the Indian Nationalist campaign of civil disobedience against the forces of empire, and to fa.v Into artiv* flam* the ‘‘spiritual warfare” tp which Gandhi haa pledged his millions of followers.
AIDE TAKEN
The Mahatma was detained until the police had also taken into custody hls chief lieutenant, Valla-bhal Patel, president of the National congress. The two leaders were then taken to Poona, whera they wer* locked up in the Yejav-da jail,
Candht believed he was to be arrested later today, when he planned to Journey to Ahmedabad, hls provincial home. He had postponed his departure from Bombay on eleventh-hour pleas to await one more attempt to soften ths vice regal authorities In their attl-ture towards the National congress. The arresting forces, appearing suddenly at Gandhi's residence long after tho multitudes of his followers had dispersed for the night, were armed with a simple magistrate’s warrant. Under the new ordinances—against which the Mahatma has mada a determined fight during the past two-weeks— no trial need be held, and (iandhl may be Incarcerated at tho pleasure of the government in whatever prison the authorities choose.
ARREST LEADERS
Tha drive against leaders of th*
National congress Is expect*d to reach spectacular heights within the next few days. Every person of importance In the revolutionary movement, lt is understood, will bo placed under arrost, and th* political funds of tbe political organization will be confiscated.
lt Is the purpose of the govern ment to render the congress powerless, through lack ot funds and communication facilities, to press a boycott and disobedience campaign which, they fear, would wreck British Industry in India witb grave consequences at home.
Gandhi's flrst action on his return was to deliver a belligerent speech, in which he predicted a "flery ordeal' ‘and urged his followers “to undergo any amount of suffering” for tbe causo of Indiau independence.
Passage by the British govern- 1 ment of ordinances designed to check Inflammatory speeches and action by organizers of the boycott and civil disobedience campaign drove the Mahatma to further expressions that warfare—of the non-violent type—was inevitable, and the National congress began Its preparations for tbe conflict.
Civil Disobedience To He Continued
CALCUTTA, Jan. 3.—(UP)—The executive committee of the Bengal congress today decided to reeume the Satyaegraha (civil disobdlence warfare), and elected a war council of three members.
