Maryland'S conservation de-

According to Carroll Waters,
chief game warden for Mont

each year when the weather be-

water fails to drain off and
fish would be stranded in these
spots and killed when freezing
weather sets in.
For the next few days, work

R.F.C. ASSA|LED
BY DIR. DEWEY

Asserting that only $124,O0O, 900
has been authorized from the
building fund so far and that the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton is not expediting construction
as it should with the funds at
hand, Prof. John Dewey, presi-
dent Of the Peoples Lobby, last
night called for an increase in
construction along the lines origi-
nally proposed by William Ran
dolph Hearst.
Prof. Dewey said all construc-
ton in the country this year
would total only about $3,247, ,00O,-
900, or about one-third of that
prevailing for several years prior
to 1929.
Asking more Federal participa-
tion in construction, he said the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion had a credit fund of $780,
900, 1000, but this would provide
work for only 100000 men for
one year. He attacked the Ad-
ministration for not expediting
the disbursement even of this
inadequate sum.
Unless construction work is ex.
pedited, Prof. Dewey concluded,
"the relief bills of Federal, State
and city governments will be
$500,000,000 year more than has
been expected"

She said, in a statement here:
with the great sweep for
prohibition repeal all over the

many of the members Of the
present Congress to climb on
the band wagon and rush to be
identified with the wet cause.

we can hope for repeal in the
short session Of Congress. :.
Whether or not this Congress
will vote for immediate m0difi.
cation of the VOlstead act is to
be seen. / hope it will. In this
time Of economic distress and,
un m plOyment, modification
would alleviate conditions and
provide much-needed revenue"
Mrs. Sabin said that since ad-

anti-prohibition cause has enlisted
13 additional Senators and II
House members, giving up a pos

Alfred <. Smith to the abrogation ef-

ernor Tightening Of the lips a look of
determination-and no public comment.

outcome.
